Chapter 12: Dialogue with the Hand of God
On the second day, everyone was ready to go because of the perfect rest of the night, especially Gus and others. Not only did they rest well, they also obtained the extraordinary weapons created by the witch. Except for Gus and Hao Qi, the rest of the others took the same. When they set off, everyone was in much better condition than before.
Afterwards, under the leadership of the village uncle, everyone quickly went through the forest path to an outside of a small village next to the forest. At the entrance of the village, everyone saw a large group of villagers in the village surrounding the open space and looking at the ground.
The uncle immediately walked up to ask, and then everyone saw that the uncle and the villagers showed sad expressions. Many of them started crying on the spot. After everyone asked the uncle, they realized that just before everyone arrived, a beast ghost attack occurred here. Two men were killed and dismembered and eaten on the spot, while the women were plundered, which directly resulted in the lack of three people in the village.
The population of this village is already small, especially the recent raging of beasts and ghosts, and the population has been plummeting. This time, there were three people missing, and there were two young men and one young woman. This is really worse for the village. If it continues, the entire village will be destroyed directly.
After the uncle mentioned the origin of Gus and others to the villagers, especially after the little girl Serky was a witch, the imagined cheers did not appear, but instead they were questioning and muttering. They were either suspicious of what the uncle said or picking on the ability of Gus and his group. In short, there was basically no positive evaluation, and most of them were negative words. Whether it was the uncle who guaranteed it in the middle or said good things to Gus and his group, these villagers just watched coldly and said some cold words.
Hao Qi looked coldly beside him. To be honest, he knew people's hearts. After all, there were so many things he experienced in the Seven Seas World. Human hearts were sometimes so strange. They could be as brilliant as the scorching sun, or as small as the ghosts, just like these villagers in front of him. The so-called reinforcements were what they expected, but they would also have the same feeling. Since I can't do it, we can't do it, why do you do it, you can do it?
This is the human heart, this is the reality.
And just then, a man dressed in a priest walked out. He first scolded the uncle, and then said to Gus and others: "Even the witches who rely on superstitions, they will definitely not be able to solve the current situation. This will only increase the victims in vain. And it seems that your costumes are wandering artists, right? Artists are very good at dressing up warriors and witches. I guess you are asked to dress up like this? I suggest you leave immediately, those monsters are not something you can deal with."
At this time, a villager next to him suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Look at the warrior's appearance is not very tall and mighty? Wouldn't it be nice to let them stay and help?"
The priest immediately rebuked, "No! This is a test given to us by God. All we can do is prayer and patience!"
After hearing this, the villagers were silent, while the two demons Buck and Ibarella muttered and left, not to worry about these people's words. They didn't expect that at this time, there was a sound at the coffin that the villagers had just put down. Everyone looked over and saw Casca actually crawling on one of the coffins and trying to open the coffin. When the villagers were still stunned, Gus directly lifted Casca up.
"As you can see, this girl has a problem with her consciousness. We are on a tour, hoping to save her. I remember that all the temples have an obligation to help the tourers, right?" Gus asked the priest.
The priest suddenly showed dissatisfaction, but he was indeed an extremely old-fashioned priest of the Holy Church. Perhaps he seemed extremely mean to things like witches, but he was very pious to the sacred teachings. So even though he was very dissatisfied, he still ordered the villagers to prepare housing under the words of the rituals. But even so, he said to everyone: "Since this is your own choice, then you must do the consequences you can bear. This is not something you can solve. I will not care about you any accidents." After that, the priest walked directly into the village.
The rest of the village slowly followed the priest, and Gus just smiled and walked towards the village first, while the rest of the people followed. Only Hao Qi looked at the village thinking, and at the same time he also looked at Serki, who was looking at Gus's back in a daze.
In the original work, the encounter between Serky and Gus is a decision of fate, which is part of the so-called law of cause and effect, which is a result that has been decided before the encounter. Serky's master seems to know the law of cause and effect, at least a large part, so she told Serky about this future, and at the same time asked Serky to use her eyes to confirm what the encounter between her and Gus meant.
As for Hao Qi, he is not actually in Gus' law of cause and effect. To be precise, he is not in any law of cause and effect in this world, because he does not belong to this world.
This was the answer that Hao Qi got when he talked with Skeleton Knight and Colora that night, and this possibility undoubtedly made Colora and the Skeleton Knight overjoyed.
Because in the world view of this world, everything is in the flow of the law of cause and effect, just like a long river of destiny that runs across all destiny. Everything in this world is in it, and there will be absolutely no exception. Even the hand of God is in the law of cause and effect. Because of this, the eagle of light can only be invincible in the world after being fleshed by human beings, because it is the law of cause and effect that allows him to have great fortune, which is a great fortune that connects everything in the world. The blade cannot be added to it. Although it is the body of human beings, it is essentially a unique and high-ranking god in this world.
This is also the reason why the Skeleton Knight will never appear in front of him again after the Eagle of Light was fleshed. At the same time, the apostles sent by the Eagle of Light began to sweep away the hidden witch magicians, while the Witch and the Magicians had almost no power to resist, because the invincibility of the Eagle of Light was determined by the law of cause and effect, and the Skeleton Knight and the Witch could not violate the law of cause and effect.
But Hao Qi is different. He is not in the flow of the law of cause and effect, so he was able to punch the Eagle of Light. Although he has been on the blacklist of this world since then, there is no such thing as the way of heaven and great way in this world, so there is no situation like the seven seas world. The only thing Hao Qi has obtained is the bad luck feedback from the law of cause and effect, but it is also very limited. At least with the support of Hao Qi's strength, if you fall when walking, you just happen to be a sharp stone under your feet, and when you eat, you just happen to encounter the poisonous one, such as when it rains, there is a thunder in the sky, or under the influence of the law of cause and effect, you will encounter a lot of powerful bandits when you enter a city at will. It is all small things for him. The so-called influence of the law of cause and effect is not worth mentioning to him.
And because of Hao Qi's characteristics, he has also become the only one in this world... the only one who can, or can truly destroy the God's Hand, or even the Abyss of Destruction!!
You should know that whether it is a witch or a magician, or even a fairy who is almost symbiotic with a witch magician, or a demonic path that relies on science thousands of years ago like a skeleton knight. Well, that's right, the demonic path of the underworld is not just one skeleton knight, but there are still some people who are moving in secret, but the number is much smaller than that of the witch and magicians. These people are all hostile to the Hand of God. They are looking for loopholes in the law of cause and effect, and then blocking many plans of the Hand of God. Although they are not successful every time and are useless in the overall situation, there is no doubt that this has always been disgusting the Hand of God, like a fly, making the Hand of God want to kill them all.
The witch magicians and the existence of the Underworld Demonic Realm are completely opposed to the camp of the Hand of God. In the speculations of the witch magicians and the Demonic Realm of the Underworld, it is likely that the Hand of God and the Abyss will be completely solved, and the world will return to its original state and return to the real material world, rather than the spiritual world at present.
And Hao Qi is probably their only choice.
But is it really that simple?
Hao Qi felt it was unlikely, and even whether the form of this world is true as the Skeleton Knights said is not certain. Spiritual matter is a combination of duality, and simply determines all things with spirit. This world is not an experiment of the brain in the jar. Otherwise, with Hao Qi's realm, as soon as he comes to this world, he will immediately discover that any illusion, unless he reaches the transcendent realm, cannot be concealed.
When Hao Qi thought of this, he watched Serky enter the village. He thought about it and slowly followed him.
Why did he have to follow Gus and his journey? The reason is that Gus is one of the main lines of the law of causality in this world, and the other main line is Griffles, but that is the flesh of the hand of God. Gus is just a mortal, and the proportion of the law of causality is as huge as Griffles. This itself has a big problem. If you want to involve the deepest secrets of this world, besides going to Griffles, staying with Gus is the only choice.
For example, in the current scene, according to the plot in the original work, Gus and his party will soon reach the junction of the Secret Realm and the material world, and there, Gus will encounter a terrible enemy...
A hand of God who was briefly fleshed out!
Hao Qi wanted to talk to this hand of god.
