It is not a must for me.
It doesn't matter what you call me.
Because we both know very well who the other is, and we all recognize from the bottom of our hearts that human nature is evil.
But I don’t understand why you want to destroy my control over the entire world?
Don't you think this can stimulate the dark side of human nature to a greater extent, making all human beings more and more inclined to release their primitive instincts and evil desires without concealment? And I can sense that you are actively integrating into the web of fate and the law of cause and effect that I have woven. "
With a low, hoarse, deep and hollow voice, the God of the Abyss spoke through Griffith's mouth about the things that made him feel confused and puzzled.
Because in its opinion, the other party should not be its enemy.
Zuo Si was interested in feeling the spiritual essence emanating from Griffith's body, and responded in a slightly playful voice: "Integration does not mean recognition, but a means of understanding. Moreover, evil is a very subjective definition, and there are many kinds of it. The evil you understand is not the same as the evil I understand."
"Oh? Then in your definition, what is the dark side and evil of human nature?"
The God of the Abyss was obviously very curious and interested in this topic.
Because in its cognition, evil thoughts are evil thoughts, and there is no form of misunderstanding.
All of this was defined before it was born by humanity's common group consciousness that transcends itself.
All human beings who cross that moral bottom line will develop a strong sense of guilt.
This sense of guilt that comes from subjective cognition is the best proof of the evil of human nature.
“As I said, evil is a very subjective definition.
So I don't think it matters, what matters is that everyone thinks so.
Take murder, for example, which is considered an outright evil act by most people.
But if you add the premise of revenge, it will become a neutral behavior between good and evil in people's eyes.
If we add the premise of eliminating violence and maintaining peace, punishing evil and promoting good, there may even be a reversal from evil to good.
Therefore, thoughts and behaviors are not the most important criteria for defining good and evil, but the feedback from the surrounding people and environment, as well as the subsequent social impact it brings.
Most importantly, the standards of good and evil are never fixed.
Perhaps something that seems good now may have very bad effects in the future and become a controversial or even evil thing.
This means that the boundary between good and evil is actually much more blurred than people imagine.
They can even be transformed into each other to some extent.
The dark side of human nature and evil ideas that you define are too simple and one-sided, and are quite far from the essence of evil.
Because true evil needs to be contrasted with some goodness.
If there is no justice and kindness in the world and only evil remains, then this evil will become meaningless.
What you are doing is to destroy all the qualities that symbolize kindness, beauty, and freedom in this world, to put everything under your control, and to destroy the last spark of light in the human soul.
In the end all you end up with is a bunch of uncreative slaves and puppets.
This is equivalent to stifling your own possibility of evolving to a higher level.”
Zuo Si did not hide anything and spoke frankly about his truest thoughts and his understanding of evil over the years.
After all, unlike the God of the Abyss who was trapped in this world, he had seen too much time, space and universe.
Especially the clear context of the universe where Toril is located, which can trace the complete birth and evolution process of good and evil, order and chaos, is very helpful for understanding these abstract concepts.
This is also why there are always countless geniuses, lunatics, psychopaths and madmen born in that universe.
Because all this extraordinary knowledge and power is there, anyone can interpret it from their own perspective and form a unique set of logic, or even make some unorthodox and subversive remarks.
The series of factions in Sigil, including the Society of Gods and Non-Gods, are the best proof of this.
Although Zuo Si was not as "crazy" as others, he was no easy person either, and had long since completely transcended the realm of mortals on the spiritual level.
His words apparently triggered the God of the Abyss's thinking about evil and the dark side of human nature.
As a god born from the evil thoughts of the human group, this is not a simple philosophical issue, but a matter of life and death concerning the meaning of its own existence.
You must know that the God of the Abyss is a pure spiritual being. After the birth of self-awareness, it has never been subjected to any form of shock or challenge.
But now someone has directly shaken the law of causality and fatalism it has established, and shaken its definition of evil and the dark side of human nature.
Such a strong impact is even more deadly than killing all the Hands of God and the Apostles in one breath.
What’s even more terrifying is that it doesn’t know how to refute or how to rebuild its own shattered logic and system.
After a long silence, the God of the Abyss who occupied Griffith's consciousness finally raised his head and asked, "How do you know that you are definitely right and I am definitely wrong?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied: “It’s very simple, my voter Gus will give you the answer.
The biggest mistake you can make is to ignore the bright and kind side of human nature and completely exclude them from your system.
This force will not disappear, but will gather together while being constantly suppressed.
What Guts carries is this rebellious spirit of never bowing to fate.
When he beat Griffith, you realized how fatal that mistake was."
"So you want to start a competition and contest with me?"
The God of the Abyss seemed to understand something, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
“That’s right.
I learned a lesson a long time ago.
Empty words and truths are the most fragile and meaningless things in the world.
Because what can prove right or wrong is never the mouth, but the results.
Just consider this as me coming to say hello to you today.
The next time we meet, that will be the time for you to make a choice."
After saying this, Zuo Si didn't care whether the other party could understand what he meant, and simply turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.
The power of the God of the Abyss quickly faded from Griffith's body.
After a few minutes, he finally regained consciousness, looked at the ditch he had knocked out, and Zod standing beside him at a loss, and immediately asked, "What happened just now?"
"I...I don't know."
Zod shook his huge head.
As a battle maniac, he obviously had not received any decent education, so he didn't understand a single word of the conversation between Zuo Si and the God of the Abyss.
After all, philosophy is something very abstract, and it also involves the definition of human nature and good and evil.
Moreover, as an apostle of the God of the Abyss, he was in a state of shock from beginning to end and was almost frightened to death.
Don't think this is an exaggeration.
It is the truest feeling of Undead Zod.
After all, the apostles couldn't even muster the slightest consciousness of resistance when they saw the Hand of God, let alone the coming of the God of the Abyss himself.
"have no idea?"
Griffith was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer.
Because since he became a demon, this was the first time he lost consciousness and perception of the things around him.
"I'm sorry, I felt like I was bound in my body by some unmatched force and couldn't move at all."
As he said this, Zod raised his fist and hit his head hard, his face full of regret.
Griffith saw this and knew that he couldn't get any useful information from the other party, so he could only ride on the other party's back again and fly towards the capital of the ancient empire a thousand years ago.
He wanted to summon the city that was buried deep underground during Boyd's sacrifice, and then use it as the foundation to build his own country.
He believed that as long as he performed miracles, ordinary people would flock to him and worship him at his feet.
At that time, he will not only be the emperor of the mortal world, but also the savior of mankind and the worshipped god, until he establishes an eternal empire that will last for a thousand years.
It has to be said that this strong obsession in Griffith's bones has transcended life and death, and it drives him to keep moving forward like an instinct.
As for why I did this, I'm afraid I've forgotten it completely long ago.
That's why Zuo Si felt that this guy's life was a complete failure and tragedy.
Although Griffith became the Hand of God and gained god-like power, he is no longer the same person he used to be.
…
At the same time, Zuo Si, who had returned to the palace, was sitting on his own throne, observing with interest the changes in the Overlord's Egg in his hand.
I don’t know if it’s because of this meeting with the God of the Abyss, or if some unknown mutation has occurred.
In short, the red Behelet was transformed from a stone with dislocated features into a crystal clear gem that sparkled with red light.
The eyes, nose, mouth and other organs that were protruding on the surface all returned to their positions and revealed extremely ferocious expressions.
Through this thing, Zuo Si could clearly feel the connection with the abyss at the bottom of the underworld, as well as the vast ocean formed by the evil thoughts of all mankind.
It is obvious that the God of the Abyss is showing and instilling his own ideas to him through the Overlord Egg, trying to drag him into the deeper law of cause and effect to learn, absorb and assimilate.
It’s a pity that the God of the Abyss chose the wrong target this time.
All these evil thoughts not only had no effect on Zuo Si, but instead activated the power of the great devil and the bottomless abyss in his body.
The two began to collide violently and then merge with each other in an unprecedented way.
There is no doubt that this is the evil heart that Zuo Si has always longed for.
Once condensed, he can use the power of the Planeswalker Spark to connect the entire multiverse and eventually become the ultimate symbol of evil.
Any ideas, behaviors, systems, etc. that are defined as evil will become the source of its power.
Just as Zuo Si was silently using the power of the Overlord's Egg to continuously sense the evil intent of this world and deepen his understanding of evil, two figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the room.
One of them is none other than New Phyrexia's chief scientist and blue demon judge, Jingitashya.
Following him was a blue-haired girl with twin ponytails, wearing a beautiful green dress and a pair of black leather shoes. She looked very petite and cute.
However, the latter was clearly emitting terrifying arcane energy from his body, and he kept sucking the fingers of his right hand.
"Great Father of New Phyrexia, as you requested, we have awakened the Star Soul of Azeroth ahead of time and endowed her with the latest model of active metal as her body."
Jinji Taxia bent down, bowed deeply, and went straight to the point without any nonsense.
"Is this little girl the Titan created by the Azeroth star soul?"
A look of surprise appeared on Zuo Si's face.
Because ever since the incarnation of Shuoyou captured the only star god, the "outsider" Saranoga, related research work has begun.
Later, he tried to awaken the consciousness of the Azeroth star soul himself, but failed every time.
From then on, he handed the task over to Jinjitasha and Vashtor, and originally thought that it would take several years to get results.
But who would have thought that Titan would be brought here so soon.
Jinjitaxia grinned and explained: "Yes, this is thanks to the breakthrough in the research on Titan Soul and Star God.
In particular, the method used by the Necrontyr to guide the Star God into the active metal gave us great inspiration.
The only problem now is that this premature Titan is still mentally immature.
It is a bit like a newborn baby who has not yet formed an independent self-awareness. "
After saying that, the Blue Demon Judge gently pushed the little loli beside him, whose eyes were shining with innocence and innocence.
The latter was stunned for a moment, then stumbled forward subconsciously, opening his arms for a hug without any defense.
"interesting!"
Of course, Zuo Si would not refuse to train a Titan star soul personally, so he stood up and picked up the little guy who pounced on him, feeling the terrifying arcane energy emanating from its body.
That is an astonishing power that no one, including Sargeras, the Lord of the Burning Legion, can achieve. Even a slight blow can destroy an entire space and time.
"Aa ...
The premature "Ai-chan" obviously did not have the ability to speak. She waved her arms like a baby and uttered a few gibberish to express her feelings.
"do you remember me?"
Zuo Si asked, staring into the girl's violet eyes.
“Hmmmm—”
"Ai-chan" nodded vigorously, then put her arms around Zuo Si's neck and rubbed his face to show her closeness.
Obviously, as a Titan star soul, her memory was born much earlier than her self-awareness, and she has not forgotten who gave her shelter before.
"Great! It seems that we will get along very well in the future. From now on, you are my daughter."
After saying that, Zuo Si reached out and gently pinched the other person's nose.
"Great Father of New Phyrexia, don't you intend to use the Shining Oil to complete this most powerful Titan Soul?"
Jinji Tasha asked in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "No, it's not necessary. Because compared to the completion of transformation, I have other plans for her. Don't you think it would be challenging to train a Titan Planeswalker as a helper?"
"Titan...Titan Planeswalker?!"
Jinji Tasha suddenly raised his head, his eyes revealing shock and disbelief.
Although he has always been aware that the father of New Phyrexia, who seems calm, rational and cautious, often does unexpected and even crazy things.
But I never expected that this time it would turn out to be so big.
After all, as the top creatures in the universe, the power of the Titans has even surpassed most of the gods, and they play the role of "creator" to a large extent.
And "Ai-chan" is the most powerful among the Titans.
Even though he is in a premature state now, he can still pin down a group of Titans including Sargeras and beat them to the ground.
The terrifying magical power even makes Norgannon, the master of mysteries and knowledge, bow down to it.
In close combat, you can suppress Sargeras, Golganneth and Khaz'goroth at the same time.
If he were given the spark of a planeswalker, giving him the opportunity to break the upper limit of his own power and advance to a higher level, Jinjitaxia would not dare to imagine how serious the consequences would be if he lost control of it.
But Zuo Si teased the Titan Lolita in his arms and replied nonchalantly: “Yes, it’s the Titan Planeswalker.
Since the legendary planeswalker Urza was able to create a golem planeswalker like Karn.
Why can't I create a Titan Planeswalker of my own?
Look, how cute Ai-chan is. I believe she will be a well-behaved and sensible daughter in the future.
Moreover, I prefer to use emotions and family affection as a bond compared to the burning oil that may stifle spirituality.
Don't worry, she won't be our enemy, ever."
"Well, I hope you're right."
Although Jinji Tasha did not agree with this decision, he still chose to obey.
Then he took out a platinum disc containing research materials from his body and handed it to Zuo Si.
"What's this?"
Zuo Si did not rush to read the contents, but asked casually.
"These are the latest research results on the Elder Dragon Ugin. We have basically figured out why he shares a meditation realm with Nicol Bolas, and how to peek into the latter's thoughts through that area." Jingitashia reported in a slightly excited tone.
Jingitashia nodded: "Yes, at least until Nicol Bolas noticed.
I also successfully transformed the Immortal Sun into a super weapon for New Phyrexia.
As long as you need it, it can enter any time and space at any time and close the connection between that time and space and the dark void. "
"Well done! It seems that the day when we will complete all preparations and launch the Spark War is getting closer." Zuo Si said meaningfully, touching his chin.
“You are right.
As more of Wu Jin's secrets are revealed to us, it won't be long before we have the means to kill the Elder Dragon's spirit once and for all.
Then both Ugin and Nicol Bolas will serve as stepping stones to your summit."
Jinjitasha raised his hands high like a religious fanatic and a madman.
But Zuo Si still reminded calmly: "Keep a close eye on Wu Jin's soul! Don't let him escape or play any tricks because of carelessness. Don't underestimate this guy, he is no less threatening than Nicol Bolas."
Jinji Tasha hastily assured, "Please rest assured, I have used all the means I can.
No one could rescue him from the meditation realm unless Nicol Bolas himself came.
Oh, by the way, I have another piece of news that might interest you."
"Oh? What is it?"
Zuo Si asked casually.
"According to the last report from the spies left by the Green Devil Judge, Flink, in Kaldheim, they seemed to have seen Her Highness Anne in that world."
Jinji Tasha gave the answer carefully.
As he spoke, he was constantly observing his master's reaction.
As someone who had watched little Annie grow up, Jingitashya knew all too well how much time, energy and effort the great father of New Phyrexia had spent on this daughter.
When this little ancestor ignited the spark and chose to escape, he even thought that Zuo Si would be furious and even bring his daughter back to soak her in oil.
But the result was completely different from what was expected.
Zuo Si was neither angry nor did he take little Annie back to soak her in oil. Instead, he chose to forgive and let her go.
Therefore, Jingitashya was always a little confused about the attitude of the great father of New Phyrexia.
"Little Annie is in Kaldheim?"
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.
金吉塔厦不假思索的回应道:“对。而且她好像跟那个世界的斯科提神族关系很好,而且还获得了寰宇琼浆。也就是说,新非瑞克西亚的烁油已经无法再对她造成任何影响了。”
“噗哈哈哈哈!
真是个聪明的小家伙。
居然已经知道用寰宇琼浆来抵挡烁油了吗?
看来她的成长速度比预料中还要快得多。
真不愧是我的宝贝女儿呢。
不过很可惜,她选择的方向错了。
我从始至终都没打算用烁油来对付她。
因为我现在有了更好的手段。”
说话的功夫,左思从口袋里取出了一个介于存在和不存在之间的透明丝线,直接缠绕在霸王之卵上。
瞬间!
他便与深渊之神建立起了某种玄之又玄的联系。
“这……这是?!!”
金吉塔厦显然认出了这根丝线的来历,满脸都是惊骇之色。
左思笑着回答道:“这是塞洛斯时空命运之神——克洛缇丝的头发,也被称之为命运的丝线。
那个世界凡人乃至众神的命运就是由它编织而成。
虽然我现在没有启动旅法师火花连接塞洛斯,但它仍旧与这个世界的因果律产生了强烈的共鸣。
有了这一层联系,我就能干扰乃至调动这个世界的因果律。
届时她只要敢出现在我的面前就绝无半点逃脱的可能性。
而且她所掌握的逆转因果魔法也会彻底的无效化。
记住,旅法师火花的力量虽然很强大、也非常的神奇,但它终究不是无懈可击。
因为力量就是力量,它的强弱与是否是旅法师并没有直接的联系。
我即便是不用旅法师的力量也能给小安妮好好上一课。”
“原来如此!您的智慧与力量令我望尘莫及!”
金吉塔厦再次弯下腰深深地鞠了一躬,随后缓缓后退直至彻底隐没在黑暗之中。
而坐在王座上的左思则释放出邪恶的气息,将怀中的泰坦萝莉包裹在其中,并向其星魂灌输自己的意志和理念。
很快,原本天真无邪的“艾酱”眼睛里的紫罗兰色光芒就开始变红、变暗,原本亮色彩的裙子也逐渐染上了灰色乃至黑色。
……
随着格里菲斯以光之鹰的形态重新返回物质世界,这片原本就饱受战争摧残的大陆终于拉开了魔神战争的序幕。
当他将千年前的帝国首都从地下拉出来的时候,所有看到这一幕的人都震惊到无以复加。
尤其是法王厅破灭后那些不肯放弃对神信仰的顽固之徒,纷纷以极快的速度聚拢到这位神之手的麾下。
与他们一起聚拢过来的还有数不清的使徒。
才没过多久,一个崭新的势力就出现在了米特兰王国和库夏帝国的中间。
尽管只有一座城市和不到五万的居民,可是却没人敢小看它。
原因很简单! 无论是统治库夏帝国的恐帝,还是占据了米特兰王国的翰赛尔都知道格里菲斯身后站着的是深渊之神,是这个世界的意志。
所以两边都没有立刻动手,而是就这样任由他收拢法王厅的余孽,以及隐藏在大陆各个角落的使徒,重新组建起新的鹰之团。
不得不说,这种情况实在是充满了讽刺意味。
因为当初就是格里菲斯亲手葬送了整个鹰之团,将其直接从意气风发的黄金时代拖入地狱。
那些被献祭的人在临死前个个都对他恨之入骨。
可现在,他却像什么都没发生一样连名字都不改就重组了这支传奇佣兵团。
只是这一次的成员显然不再是他的血肉,也不存在任何感情,仅仅是一群毫无半点情感的工具人和使徒。
三方势力就这样维持了一种诡异且微妙的平衡。
因为他们都不确定如果自己攻击其中一方,另外一方是否会捅自己的屁股。
事实再一次证明三角形就是最稳定的结构。
在有新势力加入进来之前,他们谁也不会轻举妄动。
不过翰赛尔和恐帝不动手,并不意味着格斯不动手。
眼下的他就在赶往鹰之都的路上,眼神中透露出无尽的愤怒、怨恨和杀意。
尽管已经连续赶了好几天的路,甚至还跟使徒爆发了激烈的战斗,可他的脸上却看不到半点疲惫,有的仅仅是按耐不住的急迫。
就在这位巨剑猛男一门心思想要早点见到仇敌的时候,远处突然传来一阵打斗的声音。
出于战士下意识的第一反应,他立刻停下脚步观察了一下双方,结果发现是一群全副武装的佣兵在围攻一辆马车。
一名身穿铠甲的男性战士正在挥舞盾牌和长剑极力抵挡,而坐在马车里的少女却明显慌了神,满脸都是紧张和恐惧的表情。
从穿戴打扮来看,前者应该是某位拥有其实封号的贵族,而后者则也是贵族家的大小姐。
如果换成是以前,格斯见到这种情况大概率会拔剑顺手帮个忙。
因为他是那种典型介于混乱善良和混乱中立阵营的人,有一套自己的价值观和行为逻辑。
不过在去过西方左思统治的地区之后,他已经意识到没有这些封建贵族的剥削、压迫其实人们可以过得更好。
所以这一次格斯没有想要拔剑帮忙的意思,而是低着头当做没看见继续赶路。
由于米特兰王国四面开战不仅摧毁了法王厅,还占领了许多其他的贸易城邦和小国,因此这一路上经常能看到举家迁徙和逃亡的贵族。
而那些战败逃走的士兵、佣兵则把目光投向了这些曾经效忠的君主和雇主,各种抢劫、强奸、杀人的恶性案件层出不穷,走不了多久远就能看到被丢弃在路边的尸体,有些女尸甚至全身赤裸一丝不挂,皮肤表面遍布着抓痕、咬痕和淤青。
残酷的现实证明了当失去秩序之后,所谓血统高贵的贵族也跟普通人没什么两样。
他们所有的傲慢、自大在赤裸裸的暴力面前毫无用处,激烈的反抗也只会让强盗们在下手的时候更加亢奋。
但格斯不想惹事并不意味着麻烦不会找上他。
就在他隔着老远路过战场的时候,坐在马车上的少女显然注意到了这位背负着巨大武器的剑士,立马像溺水的人抓住最后一根救命稻草般大喊道:“这位黑衣剑士!等等!别走!请救救我们!我是米特兰王国的公主——莎尔露特!我愿意把身上所有值钱的东西都送给你作为报酬!”
米特兰王国的公主?! 格斯微微愣了一下,转过头注视着马车内那位留着棕色长发的年轻少女。
作为鹰之团的一员,他当然不可能没见过这位在米特兰王国拥有极高人气,甚至是被格里菲斯视作实现野心必须要追求到的女人。
只不过长时间没见,这位少女变化实在是有点大,而且穿戴打扮还有了点成熟的韵味,所以他一时之间居然没认出来。
但经对方这么一提醒,格斯还是迅速确认了这就是那个跟格里菲斯发生过一夜情,最终害了整个鹰之团的莎尔露特公主。
当然,向来恩怨分明的他并不会把内心之中的愤怒和怨恨撒到这位无辜的公主身上。
更何况对方还曾经在营救格里菲斯的时候出了大力。
就在格斯犹豫要说点什么的时候,佣兵们显然感受到了威胁,为首的光头男人立刻咧开嘴露出一口大黄牙狞笑着发出警告:“喂!小子!不想死的就滚远点!我奉劝你最好少做英雄救美的梦!否则我们不介意把你也变成一具尸体。”
说话的功夫,这家伙还不忘踢了一脚地上被开肠破肚已经死透了的士兵。
从装备上来看,他们都是效忠于米特兰王室的骑士跟卫兵。
至于他们究竟是怎么从翰赛尔控制下的王宫中逃出来,那就不得而知了。
“如果我非要管呢?”
格斯显然是一个吃软不吃硬的人,当有人威胁他的时候,他的第一反应永远是用剑做出回应。
“找死!上!干掉他!”
光头首领显然被格斯的不识趣激怒了,立马抡起手中的斧头冲了上去。
他的体型十分硕壮,不仅有两米以上的身高、而且强壮的就像一头熊,普通人即便手持盾牌也很难抵挡那柄斧头的重击。
可就在斧头举起来还没来得及落下的刹那,一抹黑色的残影突然闪过,随后这家伙的身体便从中间瞬间断成两截。
那坚固的胸甲甚至没有起到一丁点的阻碍,大量鲜血、肠子和其他内脏向后方四散喷溅形成了壮观的血雾,甚至还能看到上半身分出去时断裂的脊椎骨。
砰! “啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!!!!!!好痛!痛死了我了!”
Only after half of the mercenary leader's body fell to the ground did his nerves transmit the pain to his brain, causing him to open his mouth and wail like crazy.
Since this is a typical beheading, it will not cause quick death like beheading, but there will be a process of blood loss. It will be absolutely no problem to hold on for at least a minute.
This is why beheading was classified as torture in ancient times.
But at this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the exaggerated giant sword in Guts's hand, and no one cared about the screams of this unlucky guy who was destined to die.
"Damn! Is that sword real? Isn't that too exaggerated?"
A mercenary showed fear in his eyes.
Because anyone who can wield this super heavy weapon is, without exception, a super strong man with immense power. As long as they have a good set of armor, they will be absolutely invincible on the battlefield, and no one dares to approach them.
Another mercenary nearby responded with a trembling voice: "I think it's true. You know, the armor was taken from a noble. It's worth at least 500 gold coins. An ordinary sword can only leave a white mark on it."
"Damn it! Don't be afraid! He's alone! Mengqi, take out your crossbow and teach this bastard a lesson. I don't believe he can withstand the penetration of a heavy crossbow!"
Another mercenary yelled at his companions behind him.
After receiving the reminder, the short mercenary named Monchi shuddered and came back to his senses from the shock. He quickly pulled the string, put an armor-piercing arrow into the groove, and aimed at Guts in the distance.
A normal person's first reaction after being targeted by a crossbow arrow is basically to dodge or find cover.
But Guts just stared at the other person with the giant sword in his hand, his eyes were cold and without a trace of warmth, as if he was looking at a dead person.
The moment the mercenary pulled the trigger, a silver light suddenly flashed in the air, and then a dazzling electric light fell from the sky and hit the poor crossbowman with a snap.
Both the shot arrow and himself turned into black charcoal in an instant.
What's going on?
What happened? The mercenary and the princess both stood there with their mouths wide open.
Because this is completely beyond their understanding.
"Humph! This is much more useful than the crossbow and cannon on my previous prosthetic limbs."
Guts looked down at his hand that wasn't holding the sword, his tone filled with emotion.
You don't need to ask to know that the lightning just now was released by him.
As the chosen one of Zuo Si, Guts could actually directly obtain a large number of divine spells, immunities and spell-like abilities.
But in order to avoid unnecessary interference, Zuo Si directly converted all these things into the purest soul energy.
This means that Guts needs to shape the energy into various spells by himself.
This was undoubtedly a huge challenge for him, who had never been exposed to magic and might not even know many words.
Most of the time before, he used this energy to enhance his strength, speed and reaction.
But later, with constant exploration, he gradually mastered the techniques of transforming energy properties.
At the moment, this lightning with decent power is one of the few spells that can be cast skillfully.
In addition there are fireballs and ice cones.
Although its power is only at the second to third ring level at best, it is already considered quite powerful in this world where magic is an extremely rare force.
At least the morale of those mercenaries completely collapsed after seeing the lightning falling from the sky. They immediately turned around and fled in all directions without even a second of hesitation.
What a joke! They might have the courage to fight to the death with a strong man who can wield a dragon-slaying sword, but they definitely don't have the guts to fight to the death with a weirdo who masters mysterious magic.
Fortunately, Guts had no intention of chasing. He wiped the blood off the sword with a dead body on the ground, then put the giant sword back behind him and stared at the princess in the carriage not far away.
And now Sharlut also recognized Guts, and she covered her mouth and stammered, "You...you are the one who used to be inseparable from Griffith! You...what's your name?"
"Gus!"
When he gave his name, Gus's mouth twitched slightly.
Although he never expected that Her Royal Highness the Princess would remember his name, he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard her address him as "the person who is inseparable from Griffith."
Fortunately, he is not a time traveler from modern society on Earth like Zuo Si, otherwise people would definitely complain that "people who love looks will have a bad death."
Obviously, Princess Sharlut is a typical beauty-conscious person. She has been deeply attracted to Griffith since the first time she saw his face, which is more beautiful than a woman's.
Later, when facing his father and the Emperor of Terror, he even had the courage to threaten them with death.
But when faced with Griffith's night attack, he simply chose to let him do whatever he wanted, and even willingly allowed himself to be used as an object of venting and conquest.
It is not difficult to tell from the direction of Her Royal Highness the Princess's carriage that she is definitely going to find Griffith, who has been reincarnated for the second time, to continue her fate.
