Chapter 44: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
“…I didn’t expect that you brought the opportunity.”
At the top of the palace in the capital of Mitland, Hao Qi was sitting by the eaves and looking at the sky, while the Skeleton Knight was standing beside him. Both of them looked into the distance. Although they could not see it with their naked eyes, it was obvious that the direction was where the Eagle of Light was.
"It's a pity that the person I want to fight is actually the hero named Griffles, who wants to own his own country and possess overlords, rather than the hand of gods who are parasitized in the depths of the secluded world, leaning against the abyss, and deceiving all over his mouth." Hao Qi looked into the distance, and he sighed after a long time.
Whether in Hao Qi's eyes or in the eyes of the Skeleton Knight, the huge aura that was enough to shock the spiritual world in the Secret Realm just made a choice. The wind direction that should have swept the world changed, and the Light Eagle, which stood at the center of the wind, obviously made a choice. He did not continue the dream of the domineering master, and at the same time changed the whole world into the ideal world. Instead, he chose to kill and devour Hao Qi's essence in the decisive battle. In other words, the hero named Griffles actually died at this moment, and only the God's Hands named the Light Eagle or the Dark Eagle survived.
The Skeleton Knight sighed and said, "Your guess is true. Before all the hands of God become the hands of God, they are people with overlords. Before you say this guess, we did not think about this aspect. We just thought that the sacrifice to our closest and most concerned people are really the decisive factors of apostolic transformation and the hands of God. But who knew that even this ritual was a lie. What they needed was probably what you called destiny, a kind of special existence given to them by the world in the dark."
Speaking of this, the Skeleton Knight paused and continued, "I recalled carefully. As a human being, the stronger the qualifications and higher the status, and at the same time, people with certain possibilities will be stronger after their apostolic transformation. If the destiny of those who become the hand of God continues according to the trajectory of the mortals, they may be people who can achieve the karma of overlords. Their changes at certain critical moments have led to them becoming the hand of God, and this destiny has been interrupted. Therefore, since the unified empire thousands of years ago, there has been no other unified empire in the whole world. All those who may unify the world will become apostolic transformation because of such things, and the heroes will dissipate, while the power of the hand of God has become stronger and stronger in the past thousand years."
"This time the wind is enough to change the whole world. The center point is on the Eagle of Light. The wind brought by it is enough to change the whole world. This is the unstoppable result of the law of cause and effect. Whether it is me or any other person in the world, we are all in the law of cause and effect. They are innately invincible, but your appearance brings a turning point for all this. You are not a person in this world, and you are not in the law of cause and effect. Even if the whole world oppresses you, your essence is even larger and heavier than the whole world..."
The Skeleton Knight looked at Hao Qi deeply and said, "You are not the cause I chose at the beginning. There is only a line of cause I chose that may prevent all this."
Hao Qi looked into the distance and said without looking back: "It's Gus, right? He and Griffles are twins on both sides of light and darkness."
The Skeleton Knight was silent for a moment and continued, "We guess that when any creature becomes the hand of God, its essence has completely changed. The essence of human beings has dissipated, the essence of gods emerges, and eggs emerge from the abyss. This is the hand of God. So in any case, the man of Griffles died when he becomes the hand of God. Griffles now has just a new existence with Griffles' memory, some ideas, and images. Logically speaking, Griffles has actually completely disappeared, but..."
"But Griffus seems a little different, right?" Hao Qi smiled and thought about some of the pictures in the original work. He thought for a while and said, "He may be the most special hand of God. He has retained part of the essence of human beings. Although this part is very small, it does exist. Therefore, Gus, who has the deepest bond with his human part, is likely to be the only variable in the law of cause and effect. If I don't appear, this world may be transformed into an ideal worldview, and the ghost world will probably be in the world. At that time, Gus may be the glimmer of chance for you to fight against the hand of God?"
The original work is not finished. When Hao Qi died in his previous life, the original work only painted Gus and Kasga to the Fairyland. Gus and Serki worked together to enter Kasga's spirit with the help of the Fairy Queen, and then rescued him back. At the same time, because the world tree turned into by Emperor Kusha connects the upper and lower parts, the secluded world and the spiritual world directly overlap with the material world, and the world becomes an ideal worldview, and the hand of God and its power have increased greatly. It can be said that the whole world does not threaten their existence.
That's why Hao Qi had such a speculation. Their targets could only be Gus, and from the original work, Griffles seemed to have a little human nature reserved. Now seeing the scene in front of him and the huge change in aura, Hao Qi confirmed this speculation. Griffles did have some human nature reserved, but the proportion occupied was not large. Unless it was in a special scene, there was a little chance that he would turn the tables and turn back to the real Griffles, but now there is no doubt that this opportunity will be gone.
When Hao Qi thought of this, he asked the Skeleton Knight directly and said, "So what is your purpose?"
The Skeleton Knight was silent and said, "I want to participate in your final battle with the Hand of God. I have too many grudges with them to resolve. This is the biggest opportunity I have seen so far."
Hao Qi smiled and said, "Okay, you can participate, but I have a requirement, that is, you cannot put your personal grudges above the result. I have told you before that although I am just a passerby, I also hope to do something for this world, and it is more related to my final march into the abyss. Therefore, civilization must come, and you cannot hinder this point."
The Skeleton Knight immediately said: "Of course, I understand the importance... Then let's leave here, see you when you fight to the decisive battle, a foreigner..."
"Thanks……"
With the last thank you, the Skeleton Knight had already ridden his war horse and jumped directly from the roof. After a few seconds, it disappeared into the night.
Hao Qi has noticed many things recently. At least three to four cases of existences like the Skeleton Knight, but only the Skeleton Knight has had a friendship with him, so he can come forward to find him directly. No other similar existence dares to appear in front of Hao Qi. After all, Hao Qi's existence is too terrible. It is a person that directly suppresses the entire world. Even the hand of gods has given up, and they cannot get close to it.
However, they were not far away, distributed around the capital of Mitland, because they could not give up this final battle. If the wind direction changed, they were indeed unimaginable, but there was new hope at present. These beings had unforgettable grudges with the Hand of God. Just like Gus and Griffles, they would never give up their last chance.
In addition to these existences, Hao Qi also knew that Olivi had returned. He brought an organization, an organization called the Civilization Secret Society. This organization has not appeared in the original work. However, judging from Olivi's description, this organization is very powerful, both in the mundane world and the extraordinary world. He has been secretly fighting against the hand of God. Moreover, the characters inside are all elites, which is of great help to the civilization process that Hao Qi wants.
The most important thing is that the secular power of the organization members is also accompanied by the organization's members, the elite giant legion of the strongest kingdom in the north, the elite of the Western Island Fruit Longbowmen, and the elite of the heavy cavalry medical knights in the southwest...
Although each team has only a few hundred people, they are all elite forces accumulated by these organizations over the long period of time. Each force can crush ordinary secular soldiers who are ten times more powerful than them. These elite soldiers have even encircled and suppressed the apostles.
Similarly, a large number of apostles began to gather around the Light Eagle, with the number exceeding 500, and even more apostles were coming. Moreover, most of the personnel in the highest level of the Holy Church and the Dharma King Hall had already gone to the surroundings of the Light Eagle. Although the top leaders of the Holy Church did not make the Holy Church say something similar to the holy war because of Hao Qi's previous warning, the surrounding Holy Church influenced countries still began to gather around the Light Eagle.
The Kusha Empire also began to shrink completely, confronting the Eagle of Light with the capital of Mitland. From the Kusha Empire, a steady stream of troops entered Mitland, including many secret troops as the empire's trump card. There are four magicians like Darba, as well as assassination clan, distortion clan, immortal clan, etc. At the same time, the Kusha Empire secretly captured a large number of apostles, and a new demon womb is under construction.
The wind stopped, waiting for the moment when the world changed drastically.
