Skilled Pikemen Don't Leash

"Wait a minute, no!"

At this moment, the calm and wise voice inside the "Sphinx" puppet suddenly spoke again.However, it was too late, just when Yi Guang stopped because of his voice, something unexpected happened in the portal—a huge dark red figure suddenly appeared from it, followed by What came was an extremely violent and unstoppable force.Yi Guang was caught off guard, and was instantly seriously injured by this force, and the huge figure knocked him off the clouds with a flick of his hand.

"Too naive... Lancer, let's die together with your mouse companions who don't know where they came from!"

Caster's voice appeared in everyone's ears again, and at the same time, the figure that appeared in the portal became bigger and bigger.

"Hoohoho...!!!"

After defeating Yi Guang casually, accompanied by a roar like a primitive beast, this huge creature that suddenly appeared was fully revealed from the portal.A huge figure was cruising at the top of the misty Hades, covering almost the entire sky from everyone's sight. The endless fog was like waves in the sea, constantly churning as this huge creature twisted and circled.In this looming mist, everyone can only observe a part of the figure of this huge beast hovering in the air from time to time.

The dark red scales are huge and somewhat slender, like a snake's body, with wings spread out from behind, and a double-layered bloody mouth that grows on the same head...

"This, is this a dragon? But it looks so strange! It's different from what I've seen before!" The jumping female voice, that is, Master Sanzang, said first, "It feels a little scary..."

"Ha, will you still be able to transform at the second stage?" Tan Lidou looked at the dark red monster and said disdainfully, "No matter how many stages you have, we will accompany you."

"No, no, something is wrong..." said the peaceful voice, "I think we are in trouble this time, Mr. Tan, you'd better be prepared."

"I... this..." And at this time, Yi Guang finally recovered from the previous serious injury, he looked up and saw the figure who injured himself, and then showed a "shit" expression, "Okay, the sky dragon of Osiris...Caster, you are also good at playing!"

As I said before, Caster imitated the "nine-pillar god" system in ancient Egyptian mythology, and created this "divine domain" that can be called "world" for himself.Well, as a human being, even if he has received the inheritance of "God" like Yi Guang, at the beginning of his practice, when everyone is a rookie, it is obviously impossible to integrate multiple divinities in his body things.There is often a strong exclusivity between gods, even between gods of the same god system in mythology.

You must know that even in the teachings of most polytheistic beliefs that existed in the long years before the birth of monotheism, the relationship between gods often presents a "vassal of my vassal is not my vassal" separate relationship.Even for systematic myths such as "Nine Pillars Gods" or "Olympus Gods", their beliefs and believer groups are quite independent.

This point is reflected in the divinity, that is, the two different natures of divinity will produce extremely violent rejection reactions.

Yi Guang himself once possessed both "Ancient God" and "Sun" divinities, which resulted in a series of tragic consequences. It was not until he entered the "Initial Fire" that he sacrificed part of his own memory to destroy this Hidden dangers are completely resolved.As for Caster, who has also mastered multiple divinities, Yi Guang doesn't think that the other party can integrate multiple divinities into one through normal inheritance or training.

"Sure enough, this guy's divinity was taken from other plot worlds by plundering the inheritance of the gods."

Considering that this Caster once competed with Assassin's Miss Magic Night for the "Dagger of Seth", it is not difficult for Yi Guang to guess the source of this guy's divinity.But now, seeing the existence of this extremely familiar behemoth, known as "Osiris' Sky Dragon", confirmed Yi Guang's thoughts even more.

However, this is of no use. After all, this is a real beast, not a standing picture printed on a card. Yi Guang can't find any weaknesses for it from the plot of "Yu-Gi-Oh".Moreover, the other party has already integrated into Caster's "God's Domain", I am afraid that apart from the appearance, the inside has become something else completely, right?

"If my reasoning is correct, this strange dragon is one body with two sides to the previous 'Osiris'. Everyone can see this, so I won't say much... The focus is on the back." At this time , the peaceful and wise voice came again, "Although my Noble Phantasm can't analyze the weakness of this space, I can still see the clues for this guy. I want to say that we may fall into a serious situation. It's in crisis... If my reasoning is correct, then it should be able to be revived infinitely."

"Infinite resurrection? Are you kidding me? Infinity in the true sense does not exist!" As a professional in the field of "resurrection", Tan Lidou frowned after hearing the voice's narration, "Resurrection is It is impossible to carry out unlimited and cost-free things, even things that seem unreasonable will operate according to certain laws. As long as the laws can be found, then..."

"However, the one in front of me is originally known as 'resurrection'. Pluto is also the god of fertility and life, a god who cycles between life and death like the Nile, Osiris."

Chapter 544 Osiris

Osiris, the god of Hades in ancient Egypt, is also the god of fertility and agriculture.

In the most widely circulated myth, he was once the oldest king of ancient Egypt, but he was jealous, and was killed and dismembered by his brother Seth, the god of the desert.His wife Isis went through untold hardships to find all the corpses scattered by Seth, and Anubis made him into the original mummy and resurrected him with the help of the sun god Ra.This is the appearance of the image of Osiris's white shroud, and it is also the origin of the ancient Egyptians' belief that mummification can bring people back from the dead.

However, the dead cannot stay on the earth permanently after all, and the divine power of the sun god cannot permanently revive the dead body of Osiris.After a brief reunion, Osiris finally returned to Hades, leaving behind his wife Isis and a growing son, Horus, the future guardian of the kingship.

Isis carefully raised the young Horus. When Horus became an adult and showed extraordinary wisdom and strength, she told her son the truth of the past.After Horus learned the truth, after several years of hard work and strategizing, he successfully defeated Seth and regained the throne that should have belonged to his father, and became the new king of Egypt and the patron saint of kingship.But in the battle with Set, the new king lost an eye.As the eye of the gods, this captured eye has its own spirituality-this is the origin of the famous "Eye of Horus" in Egypt. The ancient Egyptians believed that it represented the protection of Horus and could make the dead die. Finally, on the way to the eternal kingdom, you will not be harmed by those sinful undead trapped in the underworld.

After defeating Set and recovering his stolen eye, Horus dedicated it to his father Osiris to protect him from the undead in the underworld.Because of this, Osiris, who once represented the god of abundance, has the power to judge the dead in the underworld, and has become the judge and master of the underworld.

This story has been widely circulated, and even has a profound impact on later generations. The story of Cain killing his brother recorded in the "Bible" is said to have evolved from this; the famous playwright Shakespeare created the famous revenge play "Hamlet" based on this story; and the ancient Egyptians used this Among the sculptures and portraits based on the story, the statue of Isis embracing the young Horus became the source of the "Madonna" in medieval Christian art.

"Mythology is the extension and manifestation of the divinity of a god, and the power of a god is inseparable from his mythology." The peaceful voice concluded after a few words of mythology, "As the god of abundance, Osiris was taken by the desert. The god was killed and then resurrected to become the master of the underworld. This is a reincarnation, or in the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, the alternate confrontation of two things. If Seth who killed Osiris refers to the desert, then it represents What is his true identity? Or, in the desert, what can guarantee the fertility of the land?"

"Water, oasis, or to be precise, the conditions that have long been there... the Nile."

Yi Guang said feebly that he himself had some understanding of these literary and historical things. Although a lot of memories were burned by the "initial fire", the system helped him make up a lot afterwards. Now that the voice mentioned it, he understood a little. realized.

Osiris, the god of fertility, himself represented the "cycle" caused by the regular annual flooding of the Nile.

He is the master of death, but also a symbol of fertility. He represents the underworld of death, but also represents the farmland and oasis that breed hope.It corresponds to the conversion between his two priesthoods.And this conversion, in reality, corresponds to the annual periodic flooding of the Nile River. It is this cycle of rotation that brings fertile silt from the upper reaches of the Nile River to Egypt, which was originally barren. It created the prosperity of ancient Egyptian civilization.

"The gift of the Nile" - the ancient Greek historian Herodotus once praised the civilization of ancient Egypt.

"So you understand? Osiris itself is a god representing 'resurrection' and 'reincarnation'. The Pluto in white and the red flying dragon represent the two sides of life and death. Even if he keeps killing him, he will continue to be in Switch between these two forms." The peaceful voice, with a certain optimistic tone of "everyone laughing together to die", said the conclusion that made everyone's eggs hurt, "Even if you blow up that Long, he will also become the Pluto in white again after disappearing for a short time."

"It's just a false rule established by relying on this field. In the final analysis, it's just a parody of a fairy tale." Tan Lidou was the first to express his disdain, and then said to the voice, "I and the spearmen will hold on, you Continue to deduce and find the flaws in this space. Don't tell me that the most famous detective in the world is the kind of person who will give up easily."

Hearing Tan Lidou's name for that voice, Yi Guang immediately understood who the heroic spirit that seemed to be using the treasure inside the "Sphinx" puppet was. Of course, there is only one person who appeared in the original plot of the Sixth Singularity of "FGO", enough to be called "the most famous detective in the world" by an arrogant guy like Tan Lidou.

Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist of a series of novels written by Arthur Conan Doyle.

The pronoun of the title of "famous detective", the embodiment of wisdom, the most famous detective in the history of world literature, and the biggest contributor to making the genre of "Detective Mystery" truly become the mainstream culture.Although he is not the first "famous detective" to be shaped in history, he is still recognized as the originator of "detectives" who appear in many mystery novels.The Royal Society of Chemistry awarded him the title, and the British royal family knighted him. As a fictional character, in the more than 100 years after his birth, he has won many honors that real people can't imagine in their entire lives.And his "former residence", "No. 221B Baker Street", which did not exist originally, has now become a holy place in the hearts of detective novel lovers all over the world.

"No wonder, Tan Lidou believes that he can crack this 'Divine Domain'..."

Yi Guang nodded with a sudden realization. If it is Heroic Holmes, he is indeed the most likely person to do this.Although the Noble Phantasm he holds "This is a basic guess, my friend (Elementary My Dear)" has a set level of only "B-rank", but this kind of Noble Phantasm with strange effects can never be directly judged by its level. judge.That is Holmes' concept of "explaining" his own origin as something that has been sublimated into a Noble Phantasm.Even if you are facing the existence of a truly unsolvable mystery, there will definitely be clues or paths leading to the truth.Even if there is an analysis object such as "a treasure chest that doesn't even have a key", the key will turn into a "not lost" state, and it will definitely be found somewhere in the world.

It can be said that the effect of this treasure is quite unreasonable.As long as it can be finally established, it is not impossible to analyze this "God's Domain".It's just that if the effect of this treasure is to be finally established, enough "clues" must be found, just like detectives surveying a crime scene, visiting relevant personnel, and finally going through layers of reasoning to finally get the truth.

In other words, this Noble Phantasm needs a lot of time to activate, and even Sherlock Holmes himself is not sure how long it will take.Thinking about it this way, it is quite logical that the level of this treasure was reduced to B level.

And when Tan Lidou said this, that voice—or Sherlock Holmes chuckled lightly: "Of course, but you have to be sure... Be careful, it's coming!"

While everyone was talking, the dark red dragon had completely emerged from the mist, and countless rays of light shot out from the hands of the flying giant beast, like arrows covering the sky and covering the earth.At the same time, the divinity of Anubis, which was originally shattered by the disappearance of the white giant, also reappeared.It summoned the golden balance again. This time, under the interference of the dark red dragon's light cannon, even if Tan Lidou could resist the heart-piercing ceremony to a certain extent, he could not continue to destroy and suppress Anubis's power. Idol.

"This is troublesome..." Tan Lidou dodged the continuous attack of the dragon, and at the same time activated the "time stop" ability to delay time, "Spearman, are you still alive? I don't believe you are just like that Lost combat power!"

"Of course not, I won't die so easily!"

And Yi Guang, who fell to the ground after being seriously injured, was forced to fight again, but under the constant repairs of "Battle Continuation", Yi Guang's entire body structure became weird and distorted.However, for Yi Guang, he has long been used to this situation, as long as his body can continue to fight, then there is no problem.Taking advantage of the gap between Tan Lidou's opening of the time domain, he got up from the ground again and threw himself into the battle.

However, similar to Yi Guang's situation, after coming to the new world, Tan Lidou's "time stop" ability was considerably affected.What's more, this time it was still in Caster's "God's Domain".The time was only imprisoned for about five seconds, and the dark red dragon's paw was slapped again, and at the same time, Anubis' "judgment ceremony" began again.

"Give your heart..."

Yi Guang's heart ached again, but at this time he was busy dealing with the red giant dragon—the giant dragon still didn't give up on the previous action of the white giant god, it tried to capture Sanzang again, so it once again " The puppet of the "Sphinx" grabbed it, and then tried to send it to the portal that was covered by the mist.

Therefore, Yi Guang currently lacks the ability to separate himself, so he can only hope that Tan Lidou can make a move.And Tan Lidou also knew that if the "Sphinx" puppet was taken away and the treasure of the great detective inside was lost, it would be even more difficult for him and Yi Guang to decipher this "God's Domain".Therefore, there is no ambiguity, so he charged forward against the statue of Anubis!

"Heart! I've lost that kind of thing a long time ago!"

Chapter 545 The Hidden Key

"Heart, I've lost that kind of thing a long time ago!"

Anubis, manipulated by Caster, tried to use the heart-digging ritual again, but Tan Lidou rushed forward without fear.Adhering to his usual style, he shouted loudly while rushing, expressing his disdain for Anubis' trick.

But think about it, this guy has already completely digitalized his soul, and he can't be regarded as a serious human being.Therefore, it is really doubtful whether he still has an organ like a heart.

"Hmph! Stupid guy..." Caster sneered slightly, "I found out your identity, although I don't know how you got in here, but... don't think that you are a digital creature, I can't deal with you How about you! In my world, you are still a 'human being'!"

As he said that, as Anubis stretched out his hand, the armor on Tan Lidou's chest suddenly shattered.His entire body was also arched in the opposite direction by some kind of force, and he moved two steps forward.

It was as if something was forcibly "sucked" out of his left chest area.

"It seems that this ritual of digging out the heart is actually conceptual?" Among the mechanical puppets, Holmes' expression became a little ugly. s attack……"

The ancient Egyptians believed that the heart is the residence of the soul, so all other internal organs can be hollowed out when making mummies, but the heart must be preserved.They believe that after passing the trial in Hades, the soul will return to the heart one day in the future to resurrect the whole body.If the heart is lost, the soul will have no home after returning to the present world, and the ritual of resurrection will fail.

The same is true for the judgment of the underworld. When the soul comes to the underworld, under the watchful eyes of Anubis and Osiris, the "heart" of the soul is taken out, placed in the balance, and weighed by the feather of Matt, the goddess of death. quantity.The heart stores the memories and karma of a person's life. Those who do good, whose hearts are lighter than feathers, will gain eternity; The Anubis trial conducted in , was also established under this rule.It is not aimed at the real "heart", but the soul, and "digging out the heart" is just a form of ingesting the soul.

Therefore, no matter if it is a "god" or a "heroic spirit", or a "data creature" like Tan Lidou, they cannot be exempted from the attack of the "judgment ceremony".Any being with a soul, with or without a "heart" organ, is targeted by this ritual.

"I've already said, you stupid... what?!"

Caster originally wanted to sneer, but what happened next made him froze on the spot.Because, after Anubis made a move to Tan Lidou, he took out nothing from Tan Lidou's chest. Instead, Tan Lidou took advantage of the situation and approached the statue of Anubis, then turned around and shot " Knight Kick" smashed it to pieces!

"boom--!!!"

"What's going on?!" Caster panicked, "How could this be?! Are you..."

In fact, not only Caster, but everyone who observed this scene was stunned for a moment.Because they saw that in the hole where the armor on Tan Lidou's chest was shattered, there was no heart, or even any internal organs, or even anything.

It was completely empty, and even the strange light that was supposed to appear in the "data creature", which was as very sci-fi as electronic data flow, was not seen.

It's just a dark, utter void.

"What the hell is this guy..."

Even Yi Guang, who knew the basics of this guy, couldn't help frowning after seeing this scene.He also had countless questions in his mind and wanted to ask Tan Lidou, but this was really not the time, and if he wanted to ask questions, he should at least leave this "God's Domain".

"I've said it all, I don't have such a thing as a heart..."

Facing this astonished look, Tan Lidou looked very indifferent. After smashing the statue of Anubis, he just gave a slight cold snort and got up from the ground.Then the purple light on his body flickered, and instantly repaired the hole caused by the "heart plowing out" before.

Then Tan Lidou looked at the dark red dragon in the sky, and the "Sphinx" puppet rescued by Yi Guang.

"I said, Sherlock, are you alright?"

"Oh, don't be in a hurry...Even if you say that, I don't have any clue." Holmes made a somewhat helpless voice, "At least I haven't found any useful clues on this guy, the one you broke The same is true for Anubis, I personally suggest that you look for it elsewhere."

"other places?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Tan Lidou and Yi Guang looked around respectively - "Hades" is different from other parts of this "God's Domain", it is full of ghostly mist in all directions, and the visible area is only a little bit in front of them.This gives people a very small feeling here.However, Holmes who opened the treasure realized that this was only an illusion caused by the special environment here.

"Don't be fooled by the fog in front of you. This area is much bigger than what you seem. Perhaps, the one that breaks this world... ah!"

Before Holmes finished speaking, the dark red dragon made another move, trying to capture the "Sphinx" puppet.However, this time, the red dragon's movements were much faster than before, as if Holmes' words just hit Caster's sore spot.However, Yi Guang quickly rushed forward, blocking the attack of the red dragon, allowing Holmes to continue his reasoning.And Tan Lidou, after hearing what Holmes said, stopped in place, and his actions seemed to be thinking.

"Do you want to explore the surrounding area..." Tan Lidou said to himself, "but now the only ones who can fight against the enemy are me and the spearman, and no one else can spare... huh?"

While Tan Lidou was thinking about what to do, Yi Guang had already started to act.I saw that Yi Guang waved his hand, and countless small flames burst out from his body, scattered and flew everywhere, swimming quickly in all directions like plankton.The size of these small things is very small, and the number is huge. Even if Caster reacted immediately and culled them, it was inevitable that they would slip through the net.Moreover, as Yiguang's power is condensed, their survivability is not weak, even Caster has to use a little more effort to destroy them.

"It's really you, spearman!"

Inspired by Yi Guang, Tan Lidou also followed suit.Although he doesn't have the multi-line operation and ever-changing mental power like Yi Guang, he has the ability to "create something out of nothing", and he can create a large number of small bugs flying in all directions with just a change.Then he performed some operations on his belt, and nodded with satisfaction, obviously successfully detecting the surrounding situation.

"Sherlock, can you see that?"

"Well, although the clarity is poor, we can indeed get information from the outside world." Holmes sent out a feedback, "That unknown Lancer also gave me clues, he was actually able to speak directly in my mind... umm ?! Is the structure of this space like this? Three floors..."

Yi Guang not only transferred the information from his "probe" to Holmes, but also sent all the information he saw and heard after entering this "God's Domain" through his spiritual power.Since the effect of the great detective's Noble Phantasm is directly proportional to the "clue", it is always right to give him as much relevant information as possible.Not only this "underworld", perhaps from the previous "heaven" and "human world", we can find a way to break this "divine domain".

"That guy is a monster, it won't surprise anyone if he does anything." Tan Lidou nodded, and then continued to suppress Anubis, "You should do it as soon as possible."

"If this is the structure, then the previous reasoning must be corrected... because it is in the triple table of the same 'field'...then...wait a minute!" In front of him, he suddenly got an extremely important inspiration, "River! Yes! River! The river that originates from the 'heaven' and runs through the 'world'! The embodiment of the Nile! Find that river in this 'underworld'!"

After hearing Holmes' words, Yi Guang and Tan Lidou were taken aback for a moment, while Caster, who controlled the entire "God's Domain", showed unconcealable panic on his face.It's a pity that Yi Guang, Tan Lidou and the others couldn't see this scene, otherwise, Yi Guang and the others can conclude that it is the key to cracking the "God's Domain".

But it was almost the same now, Holmes keenly noticed the things that were covered by the fog of the underworld and ignored by Yi Guang.

The Nile River of God, originated from the primordial lotus where the sun god Ra was located, originated from the heaven, and flowed in the human world, the river that represents the entire Egyptian civilization.That is the mother river of Egypt, and it is also the most sacred existence in the entire Egyptian mythology. It is said that the sun god Ra was born from the lotus flower at its source.It flows from the heavens to the earth, nourishes the kingdoms of the earth, and then enters the sea.On the other side of the sea, there is an endless reed field, where the Nile River appears again, carrying the souls of the dead, traveling downstream in the ark of the underworld, and entering the territory of Hades.

This is the picture scroll of the whole world depicted by the ancient Egyptians.

Therefore, even in this "third layer" designed based on the "underworld", there must be the existence of that river.

That's the key to breaking the game.
