Chapter 220: Resurrection of Hermes

Sister Lily was simply curious about the fact that Andy was related to the so-called Hermes, and she didn't have any special feelings.

Because she didn't understand what kind of existence Hermes was.

However, as the giant patiently explained the story, she gained a certain understanding of it.

Hermes is the god of commerce, travel, thieves and livestock, the messenger of the gods, one of the twelve gods of Olympus, good at speaking, invented letters and deception, and very wise...

She didn't know what Olympus was, and she also didn't know who Zeus, the so-called king of gods who ruled Olympus, was.

But she understood at least one thing.

That is, if what Prometheus said was true, the pantheon he was talking about must be very ancient.

It is so ancient that not a single trace of it remains in the present world.

Andy's identity is obviously not just a human boy as he appears to be, as he is related to one of the main gods of this pantheon.

"So, why did you die?"

The giant mentioned at the end that all the Olympian gods, including Hermes, were dead, so the nun asked curiously.

"Is it because of a strong enemy?"

"It's not because of the enemy." The other party responded, "but because of a special conjecture proposed by Hermes."

"guess?"

"He believes that our existence is unreal, or rather, we live in some collective belief."

"…What does this mean?"

"Many religious sects will make up some religious myths out of thin air to spread their beliefs more conveniently."

Prometheus explained: "In fact, those mythical lives and the world in which the myths exist have never existed. They only exist in the fantasies of these believers."

"so……"

The nun seemed to understand what he said, "Hermes actually said that you gods are just other people's imaginations?"

"Yes."

"That's impossible, right? I mean, if you are fake, why do you still have the ability to think? And living in a fake world, it would be easy to find out, right?"

"That's right, so at that time, except for Hermes himself, none of us believed him."

"Then what?"

"In order to find tangible evidence, he began to try to leave our world."

Prometheus replied, "He is the god of borders and travelers who cross them. He is good at crossing space. After several attempts, he did it."

"What did you do?"

"We brought some real humans into our world, and in the minds of those people, we are indeed a branch of myth that never existed."

“…One?”

"It's the so-called Greek mythology. In addition to us, there are also the Norse, Odin, Pangu, Christ and so on. It's very complicated. At first we still didn't believe it, but as more and more evidence came out, many gods had to change their attitudes and considered how to explore the real world."

When it said this, its voice paused, as if it was lost in some unspeakable memories.

"Then what?"

The nun couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"

"The quest failed, and our world collapsed into ruins."

The giant said in a low voice: "Everyone is dead. Not the death of returning to the underworld, but the complete dissipation."

This was obviously not true, Lily thought subconsciously, because if it was completely dissipated, then how could the person she was talking to still be alive?

"At least from what I knew before, we will never be able to be resurrected again."

Prometheus can read minds, so he explained, "What breaks this cognition, I don't know yet."

"But why did your world collapse?" Lily asked awkwardly. She was not used to having her thoughts detected.

"I don't know. Maybe that place doesn't allow any divine power to exist. Or maybe we are essentially just products of belief, which is false. And falsehood can never be transformed into reality."

There was no trace of sadness in its voice when it said these words, just as its tone was calm when it mentioned that it was dead before.

"Hermes probably knows the truth of this matter. I now suspect that my resurgence is also related to him."

"You mean to say..."

"Yes, he is still alive, living in your world."

Sister Lily probably understood what she heard.

Her previous judgment was wrong. The giant Prometheus believed that it was not a native of this world, but came from a fantasy world.

But that world was destroyed because of the shattering of fantasy.

However, the Olympian gods who seemed to have perished with the destruction of the world did not actually completely disappear. Instead, they reappeared in this world.

Prometheus was not sure what the reason for his appearance was, but he suspected the seemingly mysterious Hermes.

This seems to make sense -

If Hermes can explore the so-called real world, then it is not an unimaginable possibility for him to enter this world in turn.

The reason why he is connected with Andy is naturally because of the ceremony arranged by Andy in York that awakened Prometheus.

Obviously, in the giant's cognition, no one except Hermes could do such a thing.

In other words, if its judgment is correct, Hermes is the biggest mastermind behind the scenes!

What is his purpose? And in what form does he exist?

Did Andy follow his orders and arrange the ceremony in York? Or were the two parties in a cooperative relationship? What was the effect of the ceremony? Many questions were half-understood and difficult to guess, and it seemed impossible to determine anything based on the giant's words alone.

Sister Lily didn't think any more about it.

Because she felt that as a small person like herself, there was no need to pay too much attention to these things. After all, there was no point in paying attention to them. It was beyond her ability and would only make her feel helpless.

In addition to worrying that York would suffer a disaster because of her, she had always been in a mood to listen to the story.

"Are you going to look for that Hermes?"

she then asked.

Since the mastermind is still alive, as a victim, Prometheus cannot possibly not care about the other party's existence.

Whether it is revenge or knowing the truth, it requires contact with the other party.

However, the giant's answer was the opposite.

"He must have his reasons for resurrecting me, so even if I don't contact him, he will come to me sooner or later."

"so?"

"Be patient and observe."

The giant replied calmly: "Then, wait quietly."

…

He was not the only one who observed patiently. The ceremony that expanded from York to the entire landmass basically attracted the attention of all extraordinary people, and they believed that very special changes would inevitably occur next.

It may be related to the apocalypse, or the existence of that other world caused some kind of vibration.

There are many different guesses depending on the level.

However, time passed, and for several days, people did not see any new changes.

That's strange.

"What the hell is Andy doing?"

In a misty valley, the goddess of nature who had transformed into a elk turned her head to look at the blond archangel beside her.

"Why am I becoming less and less able to understand him?"

"I have no idea."

The blonde Adanelle shook her head and said, "He only said that after the ritual is expanded, the evil in the coverage area will be reduced. He refused to say anything else."

"What about the resurrection? Did he say anything?"

"No, he just said that if you have any problem, you can ask him anytime..."

Others don't know why York's ritual suddenly expanded, but Adanelle knows the truth -

When secular humans enter the Kingdom of Heaven, they pass through a place called the Gate of Heaven, where they undergo a basic transformation and are branded with the mark of Heaven.

Andy took advantage of the loophole inside the Gate of Heaven and randomly absorbed the energy of a certain area and passed it to York's ceremony.

And based on the inherent characteristics of the ritual, it was "reshaped".

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Compared to the secular supernatural, the energy of heaven is extremely high in both quality and quantity, so the commotion is so big.

Andy said this to her in person.

After passing through the gate of heaven, the other party is now being received to understand the general appearance of heaven.

After he has learned everything, he will be arranged to go to a place called the Fountain of the Saints for a second transformation...

To be honest, Adanelle didn't quite understand it. She didn't understand why Andy and York's rituals were related, nor did she understand why he could use this connection to transmit energy.

Because she was in heaven and too close to God's body, she didn't dare to stay in contact with Andy for too long.

So after getting a general idea of ​​what was going on, she took the initiative to end the topic.

This was also related to her overly submissive attitude towards Andy. If the goddess of nature asked, she would definitely dig deep into the matter.

But just because she didn't take any action before doesn't mean she won't ask next time.

"I will go see Andy after Kirill is resurrected." The elk was somewhat dissatisfied with the archangel's brief answer.

"He still treats us as outsiders. What on earth is he thinking?"

Her dissatisfaction was not because Andy had concealed something from York, but because the emperor's identity was exposed.

God was able to perceive the hidden truth behind the York ceremony, and as a deity born from nature, she certainly would not be deceived.

So she noticed that the emperor had the will of the world, and like the emperor himself, she also suspected Andy's role in this matter.

This is a bit of a joke.

After all, before this, she helped the emperor to build the Tree of Life, and she also self-righteously taught him some concealment skills.

But now the facts tell her that it was all "self-conceit"...

As a goddess of nature, she actually doesn't get angry easily.

But this matter is different.

Because the world will is, in a sense, her "mother"! In other words, the current emperor, under Andy's manipulation, has become her elder...

"Then you'd better hurry up."

Adanelle didn't know the hidden truth of the matter, but she could see that the deer was unhappy.

So after hearing that, she changed the subject and said, "Once Andy enters the Saint's Fountain, we won't be able to see him for a while."

The process of entering the Fountain of Saints and transforming into a saint takes at least a month. It may not seem long, but with the current trend of changes, it is hard to say what everything will be like when Andy comes out.

Moreover, she suspected that the transformation into a saint itself would not be smooth.

When passing by the gate of heaven, it can cause the same turmoil as York, and be transformed for a long time, and deeply exposed to the operating rules of heaven. Is it possible that Andy will be honest? Maybe the reason why he insisted on becoming the Son of God is there! "He can be completely resurrected tonight."

The goddess of nature didn't think too much about it. As she spoke, she looked towards a pool of water deep in the valley.

"If there hadn't been some unexpected incident, Kirill would have been awakened long ago."

"Accident?"

Adanelle was startled when she heard this, and then asked hurriedly, "What accident?"

Kiril is an ancient god and the test subject of their first attempt at resurrection.

If this experiment goes well, they can then officially start resurrecting the people they really care about.

Because she didn't know yet that her brothers and sisters had already been reincarnated, Adanelle took this very seriously and was even a little nervous.

"He was very agitated, and his soul became unstable. I don't know why."

Elk replied, "I guess it has something to do with York."

"About York?"

This puzzled the Archangel, "Kirill is the god of lies and mischief, why would he involve York?"

"Who knows?"

The goddess of nature shook her head. "I just found that the time of his mood changes basically coincided with the time of the previous turmoil in York. And--"

"and?"

"And he calls himself Hermes... Weird, I've never heard of him having that alias."

The resurrection ceremony is not something that can be completed instantly once everything is prepared.

Because it awakens the residual soul in a confused state and restores it to completeness.

Therefore, during the ceremony, the person being resurrected is always "awake".

As the process continues, you will become more and more clear-headed and wise.

Just like dementia gradually improves.

Dementia obviously had no intention of keeping secrets, so the goddess of nature took this opportunity to ask many questions.

As a result, I asked some inexplicable questions.

"By the way, do you know Dungeons and Dragons?" This reminded her of something, so she asked Adanelle.

"Dungeons and Dragons?"

The other party was a little hesitant when he heard this, "It seems to be a book? I have seen Andy read it before."

"To be precise, it is a popular tabletop game. Because the rules are complicated, there is a matching reference book."

The elk corrected the other person, and then couldn't help but repeat the question.

"Are you sure Andy has seen it?"

"Of course I am sure."

Adanelle answered and was about to ask what was so special about this when a gurgling sound like boiling water suddenly came from not far away.

Looking sideways, she discovered that the pool of water associated with resurrection had actually begun to continuously ooze out scarlet liquid! "This is..."

The archangel guessed something from this, but he couldn't be sure.

"Kirill is completely awake."

The elk affirmed the other party, but his tone was very doubtful.

Because she had previously judged it to be tonight, but now the time has been advanced...

Is this due to some kind of stimulation?
