Chapter 224 Who Comes, Save Me

Why. Do you treat me like this?

Feeling her weak body and the nun carrying her away, Tia's heart sank to the bottom little by little.

This was the second time in just a few days that she had felt such despair.

The last time was because of Lynn.

This time, it was because of the betrayal caused by the church that she had always trusted.

No.

Although it was a betrayal, what Tia seemed to see in Sister Grete's eyes was just disgust.

Just as she said.

In the eyes of the nuns and all those who knew about it in the church, his existence had always seemed to be a mistake and should not exist at all.

This time, it could be said that the communication was close and heart-wrenching. However, for Tia, it was the other party who took off her mask on his own initiative and had a conversation with her vile soul hidden in this body for the first time.

For Sister Grete and others, the "Saint Lady" that they used to address in the past might have been more of a respect for this body.

After all, from the very beginning, Tia vaguely noticed something strange about the people around her.

There is even some fear of the so-called Moonlight Scripture and God's Descent Ceremony.

That fear came from a sense of disharmony deep in her soul, as if she was just a rootless duckweed that could disappear from this world at any time and no one would know of her existence.

Thinking about it now, perhaps this feeling was a sign.

The so-called God's Descent Ceremony is not a duty that the saints of all generations need to perform. It is just a ceremony for the "Bright Moon Consciousness" in the nun's words to select a container.

Since the life of gods is very long, the Moonlight Ceremony, which is held only once every five years in the life of ordinary people, is just a fleeting moment for the goddess.

She chose the container so frequently, was it for the purpose of resurrection? Does this mean that the goddess is not in a good condition right now?

After suffering from Sister Grete's mental whipping continuously in a short period of time, Tia now felt dizzy and had no strength in her body.

Therefore, even the most basic thinking became confused, as if he was about to pass out in the next second.

But she knew she couldn't fall into a coma.

If she gave up at this point, she would probably hear the news of Louise and that guy's death when she woke up again. No, after all, just like the church's sudden change of attitude towards her, the goddess would certainly attach great importance to the container that was supposed to be prepared for herself.

Perhaps, after falling into a coma here, there will be no possibility of recovery for me.

The greater probability is that the body will be taken over by the goddess' consciousness, thus completely losing oneself.

Isn't this another kind of death? In fact, death is not scary to Tia.

Just like facing the cruel king in the Tomb of the Dead.

If she could die worthily or save innocent people, she would sacrifice her life without hesitation.

Even with her reverence and devotion to the goddess, even if the church told her the truth directly and ordered her to offer her body, Tia would most likely do so.

Being able to use this body of hers to revive means that the goddess's control over the human world will be strengthened unprecedentedly, thus benefiting believers.

She was looking forward to such a thing, so how could she refuse? Of course, the premise is that there was no complicated experience during this period, and there was no one in her heart who wanted to save her at all costs.

Strictly speaking, Tia, who originally had a blank heart, and Tia, who now has a heart full of all kinds of emotions, are completely different.

Instead of blindly following the church's orders, she now seems to have learned to think independently.

Speaking of which, it's a little strange.

Just like what is described in those vernacular novels, the heroine with a tragic life experience finds that her fate has always been manipulated by a mastermind behind the scenes. She does not even have the power to choose her own marriage and happiness. She is like a canary imprisoned in a cage.

How similar is this scene to her current situation?

The difference is that she seems much more miserable.

Tia Euhstí is not even an individual with civil rights, but merely a "mistake" born in a container.

Or, like a virus that parasitizes this body, a robber that occupies a private residence, even the meaning of existence is denied from the root.

".Let me go."

Feeling the cold and deep tunnel, Tia whispered to the nuns who followed her.

However, the only response she received was indifference and solemnity.

It's as if no one cares about the soul in this body.

They followed Sister Grete's request and brought Tia to a mysterious facility underground in the Church of Silence.

The gap between the divine moon and the sky.

This is the destination of everyone's trip.

After walking out of the tunnel, the nuns gradually stopped walking and then slowly raised their heads.

Even though they have watched it countless times, every time they witness the miraculous scene before their eyes, everyone will feel irrepressible admiration and piety in their hearts.

This is a place that looks like the remains of a war between gods. The entire earth has been destroyed by a vast and mysterious force, leaving only vaguely visible ruined buildings, which are simple and peculiar, just like a place where ancient people worshipped gods.

In addition, at a glance, countless huge pieces of rubble were suspended in the air, like the pathways and nodes of a matrix, outlining an empty area in the center.

That empty area emanated a faint silver glow, like a portal leading to an unknown place, or like a bright white full moon hanging high in the sky, peacefully and quietly emitting the aura of a goddess.

The so-called Gap between the Gods and the Moon is a special space opened up by the first generation Goddess of the Moon to protect her believers during the Age of War of Gods.

Located in the gap between the Silver Moon Kingdom and reality, it is a land that belongs exclusively to the deceased.

As time went by, the rules and supernatural powers that remained in the world underwent subtle changes, causing this world destroyed in the war of the gods to no longer be suitable for human habitation.

However, since this place is the closest to the Goddess of the Bright Moon, it was preserved by the Church of Silence.

On weekdays, one can often feel the baptism of the power of the moon, and even occasionally hear the goddess's mumbling and whispering.

As for Tia, for some unknown reason, the church always strictly forbade her to appear here.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was to prevent her presence from angering the goddess.

After tonight, it will be the Moonlight Canon, and for the church, it seems that there is no point in avoiding suspicion anymore.

When I saw the boundless black starry sky behind the portal and the slowly sinking Silver Moon Ruins, a shudder like an electric shock ran through my body.

In an instant, she seemed to understand everything.

It was a sense of affinity that came from blood and bones, as if this body of his was born to welcome the resurrection of the goddess.

But this feeling caused Tia's own consciousness to produce an uncontrollable disgust and rejection.

This is the biological instinct for survival at work.

Tia tried to break free from the control of the nuns, but it was in vain.

The moment she appeared in the gap between the divine moon and the moon, she seemed to be deprived of all the extraordinary powers in her body and became a weak ordinary girl.

Including the curse that prevents contact with the opposite sex, these are all "gifts" from the Moon Goddess.

If He wants, He can take it back at any time.

"Go ahead."

Looking at the pale silver space that was so close, Tia suddenly heard the nuns' pious words in her ears.

Then, there was a feeling of impact, neither light nor heavy.

Before Tia could react, she was pushed into the portal leading to the Divine Moon Gap.

In an instant, a soft and quiet cold touch gradually enveloped her whole body, as if she had fallen into a deep ocean.

Tia subconsciously opened her arms, and her body slowly floated above the starry sky behind the Divine Moon Gap.

An overwhelming feeling of sleepiness came over her like a tide, almost completely engulfing her consciousness.

No. You can't.

Once she loses consciousness, everything is gone. In the final analysis, no one, whether it is the Goddess of the Moon or the Church of Silence, seems to have the ability to forcibly erase her consciousness.

Even if this is done, it will cause irreversible damage to the container.

In this case, the current situation has become an unprecedented tug-of-war for Tia.

Even if the extraordinary abilities and divine genes were taken away, it had nothing to do with this kind of thing.

This tug-of-war takes place in the spiritual world, a battle of wills between Tia Yuhesti and the Bright Moon consciousness.

I. There are still things I must do.

Although he probably didn't have any expectations of me, and was completely unable to say cool lines like "Someone is waiting for me to come back", but deep down in my heart, there were some words that I had to convey to him no matter what.

Tia bit her tongue, and as the smell of blood spread in her mouth, her consciousness gradually returned to normal.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After a moment, the drowsiness and fatigue that had just lingered all over her body disappeared instantly.

At the same time, as an inexplicable energy slowly injected into her body, Tia suddenly felt that her five senses became much sharper.

What happened? Tia felt as if her body was trapped in a void quagmire and could not move, but an inexplicable fear arose spontaneously.

Although for extraordinary people, the blessing of enhancing the five senses is enough to give them the upper hand in battle, she doesn't seem to need such a thing at the moment.

For the Church of Silence, the current need is to gradually destroy her consciousness through pain and punishment.

In this case, the ultimate purpose of this blessing that enhances the five senses is self-evident.

The next second, accompanied by an invisible wave, a terrible pain that was so intense that it could not be described spread throughout the body while the five senses were magnified exponentially!

This is not just tactile pain, but a dense, overwhelming and unstoppable mental offensive.

She heard the layers of muttering that were enough to drive a person to collapse and commit suicide.

She saw unspeakable things that were enough to destroy the mind.

She smelled the tangible scent of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as the miserable lives buried beneath those corpses.

She felt that time was extremely long, and every bit of pain she suffered at that moment was engraved in her soul extremely clearly.

In an instant, Tia let out a mournful cry.

It hurts so much!

It hurts so much! Someone, please save me!!!

Time flies.

Soon, the day passed.

When night fell, the entire Silent Church was in a state of bustle.

Although in the eyes of those in the know, the so-called Moonlight Canon is just the day when the goddess selects the container, but for the outside world, those who are unaware of it regard it as a day of miracle.

Therefore, with the permission of the goddess, the Church of Silence used it as a means to show off its muscles to the outside world.

After the end of the Age of God Wars, most gods lost contact and rarely performed miracles in front of their believers.

Even the Tenli Church and the Fengzao Church, which are also two of the three major churches, have not seen such a grand scene for a long time.

Only the Church of Silence can do this on a regular basis.

Therefore, although the number of believers is slightly less than the previous two, in terms of piety and cohesion, it is unmatched by any other church.

“.”

Sister Grete stood by the window, gazing at the busy street in the distance.

Located in the upper city, those who are able to receive the invitation and participate in the Moonlight Ceremony are all well-known nobles in Grosstin. Now they are arriving here in an endless stream, just to witness the miracle of the bright moon that only appears once every five years.

However, they could not go to the Gap between the Goddess and the Moon to appreciate the goddess's arrival up close. They could only look up at the bright moon above the endless starry sky in the viewing hall prepared in advance.

Once the goddess chooses to be born, the moon will change accordingly.

This is the miracle that can be appreciated by ordinary people and nobles.

As for what the real situation is, only the top leaders of the Church of Silence know.

"The member of the Cortes family who came to watch the ceremony seems to be Senator Black himself."

The young subordinate behind him reported softly to Sister Grete in front of him.

Hearing this, Sister Grete had a blank expression on her face, but she sneered in disdain: "I remember that as a believer of the Lord of Billions of Stars, he had repeatedly introduced bills in the Imperial Parliament, attempting to remove the Church of Silence and the Church of Plenty from the three major churches, leaving only the Church of Heavenly Principle as the only true faith."

"Why, now that you are paralyzed on one side of your body, you think of asking us for Moonlight Liquid?"

The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes smoothed out and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Speaking of which, the reason why Congressman Black fell into this state was because of the action of that madman named Lynn Bartletion.

For this, I have to thank him.

However, this tiny bit of gratitude in my heart will probably never reach his ears.

Thinking of this, Sister Grete suddenly asked, "What's going on with the container now?"

Hearing this, the young nun behind him lowered her head like a quail, somewhat hesitant.

"Saint. Ah no, the container still has some self-awareness. Although it is extremely weak, it can never be completely wiped out."

Hearing this, Sister Grete couldn't help but frowned: "Is the power of the Painful Illusion adjusted to the maximum?"

The young nun nodded repeatedly: "Of course, without stopping for a moment."

This sentence made Sister Grete fall into silence, and a sinister look appeared on her face.

Obviously, she had not expected that the puppet, who had always been under the control of the church, would transform into its current appearance in just a few days.

I underestimated her.

But what does it matter? In the face of the destined historical trend, no matter who it is, no one can resist the power of God.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly emerged in Sister Grete's mind.

For some reason, she remembered the name that had just been mentioned.

"Next, remember my request carefully." Sister Grete was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Before the divine descent ceremony begins, follow my instructions and make one last attempt."

"What should we do?"

the young nun asked quickly.

"Use the characteristics of the painful illusion to customize a dream for her."

"The protagonist of the dream is called, um, Lynn Bartletleon."

"yes!"

After receiving the order, the young nun immediately left the room.

Looking at the dark night sky and the bright, flawless moon, Sister Grete narrowed her eyes slightly.
