Chapter 624: World of Consciousness
Inside the huge Mirror Moon Golem, in the intricately balanced room made up of nested circles, the tranquil goddess statue stood there as always. In front of the goddess statue, the old ceremony site had been cleaned up, and the new ceremony was set up.
In the space filled with incense, a huge and complicated ritual array was drawn on the floor. Dorothy, wearing a black dress and a lady's top hat, sat in the center of the array with her eyes open. She herself served as the pupil of her eye. Around her, at the edge of the array, six objects were placed.
One of them is a deep blue crystal gem, which is the Deep Blue Heart, a blessed object in the "Cup" realm. It was originally held by the Abyss Cult, but was stolen by the thief K, played by Dorothy and Neveu.
The second is a plain metal weight, called a scale weight, which is a blessed object belonging to the realm of "stone". It was originally owned by the Stonemasons Guild and Dorothy rented it at a high price.
The third is an exquisitely crafted spherical incense burner, also known as the Fantasy Scale Incense Burner, a divine object belonging to the "Shadow" realm. It was originally an object of faith for the Butterfly God but was later taken away by the Black Dream Hunting Group. Dorothy helped the Butterfly God believers to get it back.
The fourth is an old cloth covered with scriptures, called the Holy Relic Scroll, a blessed object of the "Lamp" that belongs to the Glorious Church. Vanya was granted the custody of this object because of her merits.
The fifth is a wine cup with a skull carved on it, named the Hades Cup. It is a blessed object of the god of "Silence". It was originally a burial object of Rahman, the founding king of Adus, and Rahman himself gave it to Dorothy.
Finally, there was an ordinary book with a thick cover. This was the extraordinary item "The Voyage of the Sea of Literature" that Dorothy used frequently in the past. Just now, she had passed the ceremony and, in the name of Akasha, blessed "The Voyage of the Sea of Literature" as a "Qi" blessed object, a blessed object belonging to Dorothy herself.
Now, Dorothy has placed all six kinds of blessed objects for the ascension ceremony in their proper places. She closed her eyes silently and began to slowly activate her spiritual power according to the method she knew from the Temple of Qiwen.
Then, under the influence of an invisible force, the six divine objects surrounding Dorothy began to automatically float in the air, each emitting tiny glimmers of different colors. In this glimmer, Dorothy's promotion ceremony officially began.
'The realm of wisdom is boundless, the sea of consciousness is limitless, and because sentient beings are confused, I am also confused...
'All principles are not principles, all forms are not forms, the six paths are all false, cause and effect are also wrong, the ultimate mystery is still a bubble and evaporation... Wisdom and evil cannot be known, meditation cannot be enlightened, if you want to reach the wisdom of saints and sages, do not seek divine solutions, but seek divine solutions...'
Dorothy silently recited the spell in her mind, and the ritual began to continue. In a trance, her spirit and consciousness seemed to be out of the real world and heading towards the inner side of the world.
…
While Dorothy was undergoing her own promotion, at this moment outside the promotion room, on the Star Lake, the battle between the red warriors was still going on.
Beside the Star Lake, on the top of a hill that was originally intact, in a high-temperature meteorite crater burning with blazing flames, Francisco, wearing full body plate armor, stood on the edge of the huge crater, gazing at the vast Star Lake in front of him through the full-face helmet that made it impossible to see his face.
Francisco's gaze was first fixed on the tallest and most conspicuous Mirror Moon Golem on Star Lake, but after just two seconds, his gaze shifted to the farther shore of Star Lake, staring at Gosmore who was struggling to stand up there.
After confirming Gasmore's condition, Francisco did not pause. He immediately stood up straight and then activated the spiritual power in his body.
As the blazing spirituality spread throughout Francisco's body, thick smoke billowed out from the gaps in his heavy armor. His body beneath the armor was ignited, and blazing flames suddenly gushed out from the joints between the armor pieces. Flames also spewed out from the gaps in front of his helmet.
Then, the flames inside Francisco's armor began to expand, stretching the parts of the armor piece by piece, and his entire body became taller. Francisco turned his body into flames while the armor remained the same, and his entire body directly turned into a flame man restrained by pieces of suspended armor fragments.
After the elemental burst, Francisco immediately sprayed a stream of flames downwards, and his entire body became a stream of flames that soared into the sky, rushing straight towards the direction of Gosmore across the lake. On the bell tower of the Mirror Moon Golem, Aldridge looked at the flames streaking across the lake and couldn't help but sigh.
"The Skyfire Saint who is in Pritt now? It seems to be Francisco from Tivian. I didn't expect that the powerful reinforcements that girl mentioned turned out to be him. He is really powerful. I don't know whether he was invited or deceived... I guess it's a later..."
Aldridge said with a smile, the appearance of Francisco undoubtedly made him feel relieved, he didn't have much spiritual power left, and couldn't hold back Gusmore for much longer. Now that a Skyfire Saint had joined the battle, the situation over there was almost stable.
With this thought in mind, Aldridge pressed down the brim of his hat, and then drove the Mirror Moon Golem to slowly follow the opponent's actions.
On the other side, while chanting a prayer in his heart, Gosmore was startled when he saw the fireball coming from afar and getting bigger and bigger, and then he immediately dodged at high speed. Not long after Gosmore dodged, the fireball hit by Francisco hit the place where Gosmore was just now, causing a huge explosion.
"boom!"
In the explosion comparable to a heavy artillery bombardment, Gusmore, who had dodged not far away, was affected again. The shock wave shattered the blood mist armor on her body, and the sweeping flames burned a large area of her skin. Gusmore bounced several times on the ground and then hit a rock and stopped, then violently spit out a mouthful of blood.
Standing up with the help of the blood gun, Gusmore took out two large syringes filled with bright red liquid, stuck one into her arm, gritted her teeth and injected herself with it to quickly heal the burns on her body, and smashed the other one directly on the blood gun, allowing the liquid inside to melt into the gun body. Then the blood mist armor on her body was immediately restored to its original state. Then Gusmore focused her attention on the direction where Francisco had hit in front of her, holding her gun and being on high alert.
In the diffuse smoke, a fireball suddenly broke through the smoke and attacked Gusmore, who dodged it easily by turning sideways, but the fireball directly hit the rock not far behind Gusmore, causing a violent explosion. Gusmore was affected by the explosion again and staggered for a few steps. At this moment, a beam of fire rushed straight towards the sky from the smoke. Upon closer inspection, it was a burning flame knight. Hercules was none other than Francisco. He was suspended in the air, and fireballs were constantly condensed in his left hand and thrown towards Gusmore.
Facing the continuous fireball attacks in front of him, Gusmore began to dodge desperately. The speed of these fireballs was not fast, far inferior to the wind blades created by the Mirror Moon Statue in front of him, but they could explode. Even if they did not hit Gusmore, they would quickly detonate after hitting the ground. The large-scale flames and shock waves produced by the fireball explosion were difficult for Gusmore to avoid completely, and he would always be affected a little.
In the continuous explosions, Gusmore was affected by the impacts and flames from all directions. Although these were not fatal due to her light dodging, they also limited her range of movement invisibly. Francisco, who was floating above, blocked Gusmore's movement with a four-shot fireball blast, then swooped down directly, raised the flaming sword and slashed straight at Gusmore, and quickly rushed in front of Gusmore.
Seeing this, Gosmore gathered many blood mist weapons and attacked the swooping Flame Knight, but those blood mist weapons were immediately evaporated after coming into contact with Francisco's flaming body.
Francisco, who possesses a body of fire element, can not only directly evaporate the blood mist of Gusmore, but also is completely immune to the deepening of Gusmore's pain. As a flame, Francisco cannot feel the pain of living things.
Francisco easily broke through the bloody barrage of Gusmore's soldiers and rushed to Gusmore's front. The flaming sword almost hit Gusmore's forehead. Gusmore dodged with all her strength but was not cut in half. The flaming sword that was originally aimed at her head passed by her side face and continued to cut off Gusmore's arm. Amid the smell of evaporating flesh and blood, Gusmore cried out in pain.
Facing the Skyfire Saint, even Gosmore with the Blood Mist Armor had little ability to resist. Among all the extraordinary paths, the Son of God path could be said to be the one that was most effective against Gosmore in direct combat. It was no exaggeration to say that it was the natural enemy path.
Her left arm was cut off, and Gasmore's scream of pain only lasted for less than a second before she gritted her teeth to suppress it. She glared at her left arm that was cut off and was falling, and then her left arm immediately twisted into a huge bat that opened its mouth towards Francisco and emitted a sharp high-pitched sound. The vibration of the high-frequency sound waves caused the flames that constructed Francisco's body to shake, affecting Francisco's next combo against Gasmore. Francisco's second sword was disturbed and missed.
Seeing this, Francisco punched the bat directly, burning it through and shattering it. The bat immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist that spread out, blocking the vision. Seeing this, Gusmore immediately fled into the sky. After Francisco evaporated the blood mist around him, he looked up and saw Gusmore had flown away.
At this moment, a strong gale blew up on the lakeshore, and a strong tornado suddenly formed. The tornado sucked up the raging fire on the ground that was ignited by Francisco's trick, and spread to a large area in the sky, suddenly surrounding Gusmore who had just escaped. Gusmore, who was burned by the fire storm, screamed in pain again, and his flying speed slowed down directly.
