Chapter 31 Sky Legislator (7)
Just as Crodisi passed by the Earl of France, the Earl of France jumped up with his last little strength and roared the sword and stabbed Crodisi's body. At the same time, Dust ran up a few steps, and with a wave of his hand, a stream of white powder surrounded him and Ella's bodies.
Crodisius did not dodge or avoid, and allowed the sword of the Count of the Ile de France to pierce his heart. He continued to walk forward, singing the chant in his mouth:
"Tuba mirum spargens sonum, (when the horn of the doomsday fills the sky)"
“Per sepulcra regionum, (resounds through all graves everywhere)”
“Quando judex est venturus, (when the judge came from the sky)”
“Coget omnes ante thronu (encourages sentient beings to gather with those who judge)”
“Cum resurget creatura, (all creatures are resurrected)”
"Mors stupebit et natura, (death and nature are both terrified)"
The sword that passed through his body slowly pulled out of his heart with his pace. The sword was not stained with blood or flesh. He walked forward as usual, neither hurt nor painful.
On the contrary, the Earl of France fainted in the increasingly heavy darkness. Soon, with a "thump", Dust, who had not taken a few steps, fainted on the ground. The white mist dissipated, leaving only Ella, who was at a loss in place.
"I had predicted that this day would come. You and I were confronted in Paris, and then I was killed by my own hands."
He stopped singing, turned around, staring at Ella with a compassionate look, and at the deep darkness behind Ella: "Until this moment, I was waiting with great expectation - although hope is slim, your words may change this fate slightly."
"I asked the King of Beasts to intercept you, because as long as you lose to him, you won't meet me. But you won."
"I know, you also tried to kill me before this moment. You successfully got rid of the Duke of Aquitaine and the entire faction under him. But you failed to get rid of me."
"You tried your best, and I did my best. But in the end, we still confronted each other in Paris as we are now. The result proves that both you and me are mortals who cannot change their destiny."
"...Is it really that difficult if you just want to change your destiny?" Ella mustered up the courage and said, "Will your destiny change if you let me go here?"
"You asked me to let you go...are you?"
Crodis raised his head and stared blankly into the sky.
At that moment, cracks appeared in the darkness, and countless dazzling lights scattered from the sky, covering Crodisius like holy light. Crodis closed his eyes and bathed in the holy light, as if listening to the holy order. After a moment, the light pulled away from the darkness. He lowered his head and opened his eyes, and there was no emotion on his old face.
"It's too late, I can't leave - you can't leave, and I can't leave either."
The interrupted chant rang out from his throat again:
"Quidquid latet apparebit, (everything is hidden)"
"Nil inultum remanebit.,(No sin to escape)"
“Cum vix justus sit securus? (Even the righteous can hardly stand)”
"Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? (What can sinners beg for?)"
“Quem patronum rogaturus? (Who can you ask for blessings from?)”
As his singing, his body gradually dissolved in the darkness - when his body completely disappeared, Ella suddenly felt like she had been hit hard!
Crodis has integrated himself with darkness, and has collided with Ella's spirit from every gap and corner in all directions!
This is not the first time Ella has confronted Crodisius, but in any previous time, Ella's spiritual body has not been torn so violently. She felt Crodisius's determination - this time, he has really aimed at Ella's life!
The shock of the spirit body not only acts on Ella, but also on Crodisius who attacked Ella with the spirit body. However, his almost crazy voice kept echoing in chaos throughout the space:
"No matter how powerful a spirit is, it is meaningless in front of me."
"Because I am immortal and immortal!"
The severe pain came without interruption, and Ella felt that her spirit body was almost torn into ten thousand pieces. At the same time, Crodis's nearly a thousand-year-old memory also rushed like a tide, squeezed into Ella's thin body. The thousand-year-old time rotated like a vortex, wrapping Ella's body toward east and west all at once, and Ella had no resistance. Finally, when the vortex finally calmed down, Ella heard a shouting to the sky:
"God, please tell me the rules of the movement of stars in this world and the heavens!"
Immediately afterwards, the sky answered:
"Ptolemy, you are right. The theory you constructed has perfectly explained the world, allowing the movement of the earth and heaven to be harmonious. You have seen the essence of the world. The position of the 'apostle' must have one of you, and only you can stay in this position forever and last forever with the stars."
——This is the beginning of everything.
Since you have been recognized by God, you no longer need to have any doubts about your theory. In the blink of an eye, two hundred years have passed.

——"Augustin, you are right, good comes from the self, essence and substance, and evil is that man abuses the free will given to you by my Father. You have seen the essence of the world, and the position of the apostles, will be one of you."
Not every apostle would ask God such questions. But for the immortal Crodisius, he had no idea how many times he had heard such questions and answers.
He suddenly discovered that "God"'s answers to the same question are not the same, and may even be completely opposite.
Confusion and fear are born from this.
——Is his theory that God recognizes is really correct?
The vortex began to rotate again, and time flowed rapidly in front of Ella's eyes. Six hundred years - a full six hundred years of searching, the pain in which struggle washed Ella's body in just a few seconds, and Ella was almost exhausted.
——"This is not right."
——"This is not right!"
——"It's still wrong!!!"
——"I have done my best! Six hundred years! Why is there still no progress!"
——"Crodith, it's enough! You must not test the Lord, your God!"
——"But how should I judge whether the Lord is the Lord? Is God also God?"
After the infinite pain, the memory finally stopped flowing.
Ella heard the familiar melody again—
"Die irae,dies illa (suddenly angrily),"
“Solvet saecluym in favila (Urbanization ashes);”
“Ludex ergo cum sedebit”
“Quidquid latet,apparebit,(hidden evil is obvious);”
"Nil inulturm remanebit (None escapes to Skynet)!"
However, this melody is no longer calm, but instead brings a bit of madness.
"I was wrong. I was just a mortal, and he was with God!"
The rushing memory stopped. Ella opened her eyes and found in horror that the world in front of her was completely different: the originally dark place turned into a terrifying colorful like black paper splashing blood. Crodis let out a terrifying laughter, and his body appeared again, but it was twisted in the darkness, expanding and shrinking at once, and his hair and beard danced wildly in the night like poisonous snakes.
