Chapter 146 Let’s roar again that resounds through the heavens and earth!
Gerard stood outside the Tower of Babel, the midday sun shining on his face. The people around him kept casting strange looks at him, making him a little dazed for a moment.
Then he looked not far away and saw Ju Zheng squatting there with his head buried, doing something unknown.
As if sensing something, Tachibana also raised his head and his eyes met Jellal's, but neither of them spoke.
Jellal stood there for a long while before walking in front of Tachibana and whispered, "Are we going back?"
Ju nodded, then stood up, and the sound of metal colliding came from his clothes.
Jellal lowered his head to look at her, while Tachibana lowered his head even lower, and then said softly: "Someone is pestering me, so I don't have a chance to throw it away."
Ju has always wanted to take revenge on Tianqin.
Of course she couldn't miss today's national assembly, but unfortunately she was spotted by Oliver before she could do anything.
Jellal and Tachibana boarded the cogwheel train to go home.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had ridden a gear train so openly.
The last time he took a cog train seemed like a long, long time ago, but in fact, when he thought about it carefully, it was only a few days ago. The person riding with him at that time was still Kud, and he was here to hunt him down under the orders of his superiors.
"Ah, it's Mr. Gerard. Thank you for your hard work."
“Thank you for your dedication over the past ten years.”
Because the National Assembly had ended, there were many people who came to participate or to listen, so there were also many people on the gear train at this moment, so Gerard was naturally recognized by many people. They greeted Gerard one after another, very enthusiastically, just like when he was a knight of Eve Star ten years ago.
But clearly, his wanted poster was still posted on every carriage.
If it were ten years ago, he might have responded to these people with a smile, but now, he really couldn't smile, and he didn't even have the strength to nod his head. He just stood in the corner of the gear train with Orange, with his back to the enthusiastic people, without saying a word.
Fortunately, people don’t pay that much attention to him.
Soon, the conversation focused on the referendum result of the National Assembly.
Yes, the moment Gerard left the Tower of Babel, the National Assembly passed that resolution with 90 percent approval.
"The execution of Lyra".
Jellal slowly closed his eyes, recalling the previous scene in the conference hall.
Oliver extended an olive branch to him... No, to be precise, it was not an olive branch, it was a threat.
Oliver no longer needs anyone's help now. He just wants Gerard not to cause him trouble.
At that time, Oliver brought an incomparable sense of oppression to Gerard. If Bai Wei had not suddenly spoken, he would have almost compromised.
But Bai Wei's words only allowed him to withstand the pressure and turn around and leave.
Gerard rejected the olive branch Oliver extended to him, in front of everyone's eyes.
But that was all. He had no way to continue to fight against Oliver in such a situation. He could only choose to leave, or rather... escape.
Yes, in the eyes of most Lyrans, Jellal is now a deserter.
People admire his perseverance over the past ten years, but also mock and despise him for not having the courage to face reality.
So even in the carriage, those who secretly glanced at Gerard were filled with such disdain and contempt.
In their eyes, Gerard was destined to be abandoned by the times.
The gear train slowly stopped, and Jellal took Tachibana out of the carriage under everyone's gaze.
The car door opened and closed, and in the moment before it closed, Gerard heard someone talking.
"He may be a hero, but he has caused a lot of trouble to Tianqin in the past ten years. Even so, he doesn't even think about atonement, and he still wants to..."
The door closed, the train started moving, and the words stopped abruptly.
Gerard didn't react much, but he felt the hand holding the corner of his clothes was tightening little by little.
So he patted the back of Ju's hand and said softly, "It's okay."
Ju's hand loosened.
The two fell into silence again, and then returned to the small warehouse in silence.
To Jellal's surprise, Ina was already waiting here.
"Father." After seeing Jellal, Ina immediately came forward, her face full of anxiety, but when she saw Tachibana, she paused, "What is this?"
Jellal patted Tachibana's shoulder gently and said, "You go back first. I have something to talk to this sister about."
Ju nodded, and then walked into the warehouse alone.
Then Gerard introduced Ina: "She is Eric's daughter."
"...Uncle Eric?"
Ina's expression became complicated. Obviously, she remembered Eric and wanted to know about Tachibana's situation, but she also knew what the most important thing was now. But before she could speak, Jellal spoke first.
"How did you know I was here?"
"The Skeleton Army told me." Ina whispered, "Did they know you were here a long time ago?"
"No." Gerald shook his head, "Oliver told them. Oliver only found out today because he didn't have that kind of power until today."
Ina's expression became ugly: "You mean..."
"Yes." Gerard said softly, "Oliver now has a certain degree of divinity. The fact that all Lyrans can hear his voice is proof of this."
Possessing a certain divinity...
Ina had never thought that a mortal body could possess the power of God.
"Could it be the corpses from last night?" This was the only possibility Ina could think of.
Jellal nodded.
Naturally, it was Bai Wei who told Gerard the information about divinity.
Oliver is now the most powerful being in all of Lyra besides the two true gods.
Before the two true gods awakened, the entire Lyra was an extension of his eyes and ears.
He could naturally find everything related to Gerard.
Of course, Bai Wei's presence can weaken the one-sided peeping effect, but not completely.
If he intervened completely, Oliver would most likely be aware of Bai Wei's presence.
"Father..." Ina asked, "Are all the things Oliver said before true?"
As a father, Jellal naturally knew what the "those things" that Ina was asking about were.
Naturally, it was the influence of the Lyra God.
Gerard also got the answer to this question from Bai Wei.
"Yes." Gerald also said softly, "It's all true."
Ina, who originally held out a glimmer of hope and thought that Oliver was lying, got the same answer from Gerard, and the last glimmer of hope in her eyes disappeared.
"Then...if the new god comes, will everything be better?" Ina asked softly.
"I don't know, Ina." Jellal shook his head. At this time, he didn't want to lie to his daughter. "After the New God comes, what kind of changes will Tianqin have? Will it be good or bad? This is a matter of the future. No one can tell. But what I know is that the process of the New God's coming will cause many people to lose their lives."
"How many people?"
"one third."
"...a district?"
"No, one third of the whole Tianqin."
Hearing this, Ina's body couldn't help but shake.
One third of all Tianqin, that was such a huge number that Ina didn’t even dare to think about it.
"But no one will believe you."
"Yeah." Gerald said softly, "I know."
The father and daughter fell into a long silence again.
It was unknown how long it had been before Ina finally raised her head and looked into Jellal's eyes.
"Let's get out of here, Father."
…
Click.
The heavy door was pulled open.
The blood gushed out like a tide, and the hot air wave hit his face, causing the temperature of the entire room to rise a lot in an instant.
Behind the door is a heart that is several meters in diameter and is beating slightly.
The shape of the heart is very strange.
It looks like it was cut from top to bottom with a small knife, and the knife was retracted when only one-third was left, making it look like a heart split in two, or like two separate hearts, with only a small part connected together.
Regardless of whether it is one or two, the difference between the two parts is very obvious. One of them beats vigorously and powerfully, like a healthy young man, while the other appears dim and weak, like an old man in his twilight years.
"How beautiful."
Oliver stood in front of the huge heart and spoke softly.
This is the core part of the Tower of Babel.
There were more than twenty people in the room, and except Oliver, they were all wearing heavy protective clothing.
"beauty?"
Next to Oliver was Hogni, who was somewhat puzzled by Oliver's description.
"Yes." Oliver said calmly, "Isn't it beautiful when gods fight each other?"
"If you put it that way..." Hogen also took a closer look and said with a smile, "It is indeed beautiful. Many people will never see such a scene in their entire lives."
"Haha, yeah." Oliver looked at Hognine, "How much time do we have left?"
"Twenty hours." Hogen said, "According to our calculations, in twenty hours, Tianqin will be completely killed by the Lord. The Lord will be reborn on Tianqin's corpse and will come to this world."
"Ah, only twenty hours?" Oliver looked at the weak part of his heart and said softly, "In twenty hours, the Lord will come, and we will accomplish a feat that no one in this world has ever done - killing God."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Bishop... Oh no, Your Holiness the Pope." Hogeny saluted solemnly towards Oliver, "From now on, your name will go down in history."
Oliver did not refuse the title of His Majesty. He just smiled faintly and then looked at the "people" behind Hogni: "Is it about time?"
As soon as Oliver finished speaking, one of them walked straight towards the strong heart.
As he approached, the power symbolizing the deity was dissolving the protection on his body.
Then his clothes melted away, his skin melted away, even his flesh and bones melted away, but he did not stop for the slightest. He just walked to the heart and was then swallowed by the heart.
In an instant, the beating of the heart on this side became stronger, while the beating of the other side became weaker.
"The time for replenishment must be strictly controlled." Oliver looked at the rows of "cardiac stimulants" behind him and said lightly, "Even if it's the master, it's easy to have problems if you take too much of this stuff at once. I don't want to take over a ruin with nothing left."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Hogen nodded, "I will strictly control it. I will stay here until the Lord wakes up."
Oliver nodded slightly: "Then I'll leave it to you. I still have to keep an eye on that guy."
"Are you talking about Gerard?" Hogeni was a little surprised. "Do you still need to worry about him now?"
"Just a little caution." Oliver said lightly, and then walked out of the room.
He didn't make it clear to Hogni.
With his current power, it stands to reason that the only place in the whole Tianqin that is not affected or sensed by him is this room because of the existence of the gods.
But the problem is, Gerard has it too.
Although not as powerful as those here, the influence Oliver can exert on Jellal is indeed limited, otherwise he would have been able to make Jellal kneel down in the meeting room.
Is it because of that eye?
This is probably the only possibility.
Visas' body parts... they are so desirable.
but……
Oliver raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
When the new god comes tomorrow, the eye will surely be his.
…
Oliver left.
Hogni then turned his attention back to his heart.
His next job was simple and boring, which was to send a puppet with divinity into the heart of the new god every hour to give him "supplies" to ensure that he could kill Lyra within twenty hours.
In fact, such supplies are not safe because these divine corpses are chaotic and uncontrollable.
Such a forced growth can indeed make the new god more powerful in a short period of time, but he will also become more violent, and the harm he brings when he arrives may also double.
This is what Oliver had said before. If all these corpses were allowed to enter at the same time, the New God might completely lose his mind and destroy the entire Lyra when he descended.
So does this mean that he has the destruction button of Lyra in his hands?
Thinking of this, Hogni felt a bloodthirsty pleasure and excitement.
Tsk…I’d better not think too much about it. It won’t do him any good if Tianqin is destroyed.
He shook his head, threw away such crazy thoughts, and then when he was about to check the condition of those divine corpses, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Hogen observed it for a moment, and then his hair suddenly stood on end.
Because he discovered that all the divine corpses were facing him at some point, and the black lenses on the masks were reflecting his face from all directions.
Something is wrong!
Hogni subconsciously wanted to leave, but a divine corpse behind him suddenly stepped forward and covered his mouth.
The rest of the divine corpses moved at the same time, grabbing hold of his various limbs.
These divine corpses were very rigid, unable to make any further movements, like restricted pollutants, they could only pull and tug.
But unfortunately, they have the same power as pollutants.
So just swipe and pull.
Hogni was torn into countless pieces.
Flesh and viscera fell together.
In an instant, he was killed in the most brutal way, and he didn't even utter a cry of pain from beginning to end.
After Hogni's death, one of the divine corpses took off his mask, revealing a dark blue, chinless dead face.
But the tongue in the mouth is still flexible.
Bai Wei slowly turned around, looked at that weak heart, and forced a smile with difficulty.
The price of [Domination] is rapidly melting the remnant of the divinity, and now he can only issue one command at most.
He did not speak immediately, but slowly walked forward to the weak heart, then slowly raised his hand and stroked the heart.
The scorching heat gnawed at his pale hands madly, causing his skin, flesh and bones to melt rapidly.
But Bai Wei seemed to feel no pain and spoke softly.
"It would be too embarrassing to die like this, Tianqin."
"I guess you're not willing to accept that either."
"In that case, why not struggle a little longer?"
Before his body completely dissolved, Bai Wei chuckled and issued the last [Control] that this remaining body could emit.
"go ahead!"
All the remaining divine bodies raised their heads at the same time, and then with unstoppable momentum, they head held high and entered the weak heart.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The weak heart beat faster and faster, like a beating war drum.
"Come on!" Bai Wei laughed as his flesh and blood melted away, "Another roar that will resound through the heavens and earth..."
"Roar!"
