Li Chuan went down with a knife, opening up the space.It is rare for him to have such a flustered moment, and he just hopes that everything can be done in time.

But just like Murphy's Law, in this world, if you are afraid of something, something will happen.Li Chuan smashed the space and rushed back directly across the latitude and distance, but it seemed that he was still a step late after all.

Senas used to be a small town that was not very prosperous, but absolutely peaceful and peaceful; however, now, when Li Chuan stood at the entrance of the city wall of Senas, the first thing he could see was the city wall that was split by a sword.There are neat fractures on the city wall, and the cut surface looks as if it has been melted, and it is a whole piece of plane.

Li Chuan just looked at it like this, and he could roughly imagine the scene that happened at that time... The angel held a long sword burning with sacred flames in his hand, and he didn't care about human calls, tears, negotiations, or anything else.

He slashed towards the city wall. The pure white flames had extremely high temperatures, melting them the moment they touched the bricks and stones of the city wall. The extremely high temperature even forged colored glaze.

It is a creature that only exists among the many "miracles" proclaimed by the church. It is so powerful and beautiful that human beings can't even imagine it. In a simple and rude way, he ostentatiously displayed his terrifying force.

There is no way to beat it.

cannot defy.

That is not... an existence that they can fight against!

The archangel drove straight in, as if entering no one's land.That sword really carried a heaven-shattering aura in it, which made people terrified. It was already extremely difficult to even look directly at the opponent's figure, let alone go further and do more. something else.

The pure white figure finally stopped at the door of the only church in the town, and slightly raised its pretty eyebrows.

The originally closed door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Saoirse, who was still wearing a nun's attire, walked out calmly at the front, followed by Dorothy and Natalie.The soft hats with black silk peaks on their heads trembled with their movements, showing an untimely playfulness.

"Heretics."

After seeing the three of them, the beautiful and holy creature who had been silent all this time finally spoke.

There is no love or hate in the voice, no distinction between sorrow and joy, like a machine that will never go wrong, and it is going to complete the set task with a single eye.

Saoirse laughed, and passed her hands towards the angel generously: "I probably understand the purpose of your coming. Just take me away. Other residents in this town, Everything has nothing to do with the witch, and the truth we are looking for."

"Please don't involve them."

Saoirse, the [nurturer] of this generation of witches.

Like a mother, she will take care of every child who is tirelessly exploring and moving forward on the path of truth with tenderness and equality, and will do her best to take care of all their worries so that they will not be disturbed by foreign objects. Dedicated and whole-hearted devotion, go as far as possible on the path of pursuing the truth.

The angel's blue eyes reflected the figure of the witch.Reflecting the other party's smile, and that slender but straight figure with no waist or spine bent at all.

Finally, he nodded slowly, as he agreed to Saoirse's request.

"In addition to the witch, the child was also taken away."

Li Chuan soon discovered this.

He had doubts in his heart: "Child, why is it a child... ah."

In the blink of an eye, Li Chuan suddenly understood what the church—or rather, the King of Angels above the Cloud Palace was thinking.

It's not enough just to kill those witches.In history, it is not that the church did not make a big move to wipe out all the witches, but that was only able to last for a few decades.

They are like grass, weak but flexible.It may seem to be cleared for a while, but as long as the time is enough, it can grow continuously again, which is a tenacious vitality.

Then, let's kill all opportunities from the very beginning.

To wipe out the witches, there is no [breeder] to send fresh blood, no [library] to send the knowledge accumulated over the generations to the next era on the ark.

Kill the children's beliefs, so that they never dare to touch the truth again, and let everything wither and end.

Violent suppression with brutal and bloody means can only have a temporary effect, but it cannot last forever.

Rather than killing people, it is better to punish the heart.

"Sally." Li Chuan asked the angel whose core had been changed by him, and who has been serving him as master since then, "Where will you take the witch and the children to make this death sentence?"

"In the past, it should be [Tower]." Sally replied, "But [Tower] collapsed... So I guess, it should be Samuel Cathedral."

"If the [Tower] is the closest place on the ground to the king, then Samuel Cathedral is the place that the king can directly see as long as he lowers his head in the cloud palace."

is the best stage.

****

Samuel Cathedral.

It was once the largest church, and was even the headquarters of the church at one time.Even in the future, because the church chose to relocate the main church to the more prosperous Cyberjaya, the Samuel Cathedral is still one of the best large churches and holds a pivotal position in the entire church.

But today, the pyre has already been set up here, the punishment pillars have been erected, and the people have gathered together, just waiting for that moment to come.

There was a sound of piercing from far and near, and descending from the sky was a group of angels in white robes with white and wide wings behind them, and their whole bodies were full of compassion and holiness.

The leading archangel stretched out his hand, and a ball of light appeared on his palm.He threw the ball of light out, and when it landed on the ground, there were already a group of bound witches and children who were at a loss and were crying loudly.

"Thank you for your hard work, my lord envoy."

Immediately, people from the church came forward and took over the witches.

"[Sun Witch] Natalie, [Death Witch] Dorothy, [Educator] Saoirse..."

The head of Samuel Cathedral rubbed his hands.

There are so many names and surnames in a bunch of witches, this is simply a performance that fell from the sky.

What he needs to do, he has already been told, as long as he exposes the evil deeds of these witches in front of the world, and then let them see the miserable end of the witches after being caught, presumably anyone will willingly step into the church of the Lord Get down on your knees, pray sincerely and ask the Lord for mercy!

The red-clothed archbishop seemed to have seen such a scene, and his eyes became hot.

He raised his hand and issued the order to go down.The paladins rushed forward, pushing aside the children they had brought with them, ignoring their shrill cries.

Some witches were imprisoned, while others who were sufficiently famous and well-known to the public were put on the rack.

"Teacher, teacher!"

The children cried loudly.

They didn't understand why they were suddenly brought here from home, and why those big brothers in armor pointed spears at them.

I also don't understand why the nun sister who used to make delicious biscuits for them to eat, tell them stories in the afternoon when the sun is right, and teach them how to write and hyphenate is now being tied up and pushed to be oiled. woodpile.

The little children vaguely realized that it was an extremely terrible and bad thing; but because they were so young, this premonition was hazy, and even these children themselves didn't know why it happened .

The witches were already chained to stakes, with their hands behind their backs.Facing the terrible fate that was coming, they didn't seem to care about it. On the contrary, the heart-wrenching cries of these children made people care more.

"Okay, don't cry."

Saoirse laughed.

I have to admit that her smile is really very beautiful, it is a white magnolia on the branch, it is a late-night epiphyllum, and it has a kind of elegance and beauty.

"Teachers are just going to take a step ahead on the road to the pursuit of truth. After the teacher leaves, you will be big children. Big children can't stop crying like they are now."

"Teacher, teacher..."

These children still don't know what parting is and what death is. They only know that something very bad is about to happen, and that certainly won't be a beautiful and dreamy ending like in a fairy tale.

"Hear me out."

The firewood was ignited, and under the dark sky, the most brilliant flames were ignited, bulging straight into the sky.Dorothy's skirt was licked by the flames, and her calf-length hair was scorched and curly by the flames.

However, even so, she seemed to have an astonishing sense of holiness in the flames, even more so than the angels beside her... like those aloof gods.

"Remember what the teachers taught you?"

Maybe she doesn't need an answer from anyone, this witch who possesses incomparably vast and rich knowledge just wants to say that.

Not only to these children, but also to everyone present—whether it is the executioner of the church, or the numb civilians who were brought to watch the grand ceremony of the execution of the witch, or even those who have been watching Looking at the angels here, even the high heavens, I don’t know if they are looking at the gods here——

"Knowledge is gold, something more precious than bread. Maybe you see today that we are cut off here, but that doesn't mean that the inheritance of knowledge ends here."

Natalie took her words: "This knowledge will flow to the distant future with the long river of time. As long as the [human] species is not extinct, then [knowledge] will last forever."

"The church can cover the sky with one hand, but one day, time will prove everything."

"The world is not square but round, and thunder, rain, and dew are not gifts from the gods. I have already held the sun in my hands, and the sky is not an unattainable dream."

"So, kids—"

"Go learn, go explore, and go on the path of truth."

The witches laughed.

"There will be a day when—"

"I am a human being, and I am enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with gods!"

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"

The archbishop in red screamed, realizing that he couldn't let these witches continue talking.

It's terrible, the archbishop thought, the witch really is a witch, possessing such power to influence and demagogue people.Even if their movements are restrained, they can still use words to encourage them.

"Kill them!"

Can't let them... talk more!

In stark contrast to his impotent rage, were the calm smiles on the faces of the witches even in the face of death.

That smile seemed to have a very strange power, making everyone who saw it feel comforted... and gave birth to a certain kind of shock and emotion that cannot be expressed in words.

Dorothy raised her head and gazed at the starry sky above.With the knowledge gained through inheritance, the girl can clearly distinguish the star map at night, and can see the Big Dipper shining brightly and the stars burning.

She laughed out loud.

"I'm in a nutshell."

"Still thinks he's the king of the infinite universe."

***

There is no better way to make a person shut up than to die.

Almost at the same time as the archbishop gave the order, the paladins who had been on standby immediately raised their spears, and then moved towards the flames without the slightest hesitation. Those who had already lost their ability to resist The witches poked through.

——This is obviously different from the original plan of burning to death these audacious witches who went against the will of the Lord and took such a rebellious path in front of everyone, but the Archbishop I really can't care that much anymore.

Because these hateful witches must have obtained the power of demagogy from the devil, even if it was just words, the archbishop could observe that many people were obviously touched by those words.

And those children who originally planned to let them remember everything well—no doubt they also remembered something well, but the content of the memory may be contrary to what the church wants them to remember.

These hideous, cunning witches!

The archbishop knew very well that he could not continue to indulge such behavior, otherwise, wouldn't today's behavior become a complete joke?Even the divine master who is watching here will definitely be angry when he thinks about it.

With such a fear, the archbishop almost made a decision quickly.

"stop!"

A voice came from an extremely distant direction, with cold anger.

Everything seemed to stand still at this moment, whether it was the hunting flames, the blowing evening wind, or the gleaming spear tip, all of them were terminated, and no further progress could be made.

A few black daggers flew from a distance, and with a few "dang dang", they knocked down the point of the spear very forcefully, preventing it from really having the opportunity and possibility to penetrate the girl's body.

However, although the first few daggers were all hits without fail, a mistake happened on the last one.From nine days away, from the top of the clouds, a white thunderbolt struck down, knocked the dagger into the air, and tore apart the originally silent world.

Everything started to work again, so the only long spear that could not be knocked away naturally tore open the abdomen of the pink-haired girl easily, bringing death in an ungentle way.

The black wings flapped, and the gust of wind extinguished the flames.Li Chuan wanted to rush to Dorothy's side to stop her injury - bringing the dead back to life is not difficult for a lord who masters the law of death, let alone a small means of healing.

However, a thunderbolt descended from the sky, blocking Li Chuan's way.

"...Metalion! Don't get in my way!"

The indifferent mask on the young man's face was finally broken, and there was a bit of anger in his voice.He raised his head, stared at the sky above his head, and released a cold roar from his throat.

Lei Guang didn't intend to just leave.On the contrary, everyone present felt a terrifying power. They were so oppressed that they couldn't straighten up. They could only kneel down and put on the most humble and respectful posture.

An overly dazzling white light descended from the sky, blocking Li Chuan's face.After the white light dissipated, standing there was the king of angels with twelve wings, the only divine master in this world, with a golden divine pattern drawn between his eyebrows.

"Thank you Qinghou!"

Metalion snapped.

"The person who really made an obstruction is obviously you!"

There was a cold light in his eyes: "I am here today, and I must exterminate the witch's line!"

That's why Dorothy's death was demanded no matter what.A witch who has lost her inheritance is not enough evidence, and it will take thousands of years for the knowledge system to be re-established.

... Just forget it, Xie Qinghou who came out of nowhere!

Metalion couldn't understand Xie Qinghou's actions, and his indifferent brows and eyes were also filled with doubts: "Why did you do this?"

"Those are human beings! We have guarded the heavens and traversed the world for countless epochs; the monument is not benevolent, but we will not be able to make the monument come true!"

"Under such circumstances, I am merciful enough to allow human beings to live in my world! They should not even ask for things that should not belong to them!"

"What's wrong with just being an unconscious lamb in this pasture?"

"I will be a merciful master."

Metallien obviously thought that such an explanation was enough, but to his surprise, Li Chuan didn't seem to listen to his persuasion at all, and just ignored all of this—he still didn't give up on crossing Metallien En's plan, just want to rush to Dorothy's side to take away the other party's death.

At least, that girl shouldn't die here.

Li Chuan still remembers the short time with the other party, and remembers the girl's eyes that are as bright as stars.

Her future should not end now, just as those knowledge should not be snuffed out at this moment.

"Xie Qinghou! You really are stubborn!" Metalyen finally lost the patience to talk to him, and the long sword quietly emerged in his hand, with a cold light flickering on it, flickering, "Still, are you standing still?" On the [New Era] side?!"

"Are you going to betray us! Don't forget why you were born!"

Li Chuan split the sword light that was attacking him head-on.

Metalion's entanglement made him irritated, and the other party's vague words made Li Chuan even more angry.

[Then accept me. 】

The long-lost voice that only appeared when he had just crossed over, and that never appeared again after guiding him to get "Xie Qinghou" resounded faintly.

[For the first time, you accepted the power and name. 】

[The second time, let’s accommodate this identity and past, as well as those responsibilities that have been imposed on me whether I want to or not! 】

The voice laughed.

In Li Chuan's eyes, the silver pattern kept twisting, changing, climbing and spreading, almost occupying the entire pupil.

The icy breath of death enveloped his side, like a throne guarded by him.

He opened his mouth, and with the voice that only he could hear, he declared word by word—to completely regain and integrate the power that should belong to him.

"Why was it born? - I exist here only for myself!"

There are black wings stretched behind him, with silver runes drawn on them, which seem to be able to cover the sky and block out the sun.

"I praise the living, call the dead, burn the sun and the moon, and worship the dead!"

"Put on the feather robe of death, and I will be a god from now on!"

***

Tianbei is the first.

【Death crow】

Xie Qinghou.

The author has something to say:

*"I'm in a nutshell, still thinking I'm king of the infinite universe" - Quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. I won’t discuss the meaning of Hamlet itself here. I use it here because Hawking also used it and wrote "The Universe in a Nutshell".

I really think Mr. Hawking's use of this expression is very romantic, the kind of romance unique to science.It just fits well with what I want to write in this dungeon, so I use it here.
