The Eagle City, a city summoned by Griffith through divine power, can even be said to be reshaped.
It is based on the imperial capital that was destroyed in sacrifice thousands of years ago. It carries the dreams and hopes of countless people and is almost equivalent to the heaven on earth depicted in the King's Hall.
Because there is no hunger, cold, pain, exploitation, slavery, oppression here, no matter whether they are civilians, nobles or priests, they are all equal, even those apostles who are like monsters are no exception.
People of different identities, statuses, and races have achieved unprecedented harmonious coexistence here.
Even the most critical of people can't help but feel that the Eagle City is a beacon of hope in this dark world.
It is like a beam of light illuminating the surroundings, bringing light and warmth to those who are in despair.
But no one knows that Griffith, the Eagle of Light, who shaped all of this is the fifth hand of God - "Wing of Darkness" Femont.
Some people even regard this devil as a savior, messiah and angel, and firmly believe that he is the chosen one sent by God to save themselves and the world.
There is no doubt that this is another typical trick of the God of the Abyss, which is to first give hope and then extinguish hope with his own hands, causing people to fall into endless despair and continue to struggle and sink.
Only in this way can the dark side of human nature be stimulated to the greatest extent, allowing human beings to constantly look for reasons, reasons for pain, reasons for anger, reasons for life, reasons for death, and then release their own evil desires under extreme repression, and through the ritual of subduing demons.
Sacrificing everyone's spirit and soul, weaving everyone's destiny through this connection, firmly binding them in the law of cause and effect.
So although on the surface it seems that the Eagle City has taken in those refugees who lost their homes in China during the war, giving them a safe haven where they can shelter from the wind and rain without fear of robbery, violence and killing, in fact it is not
They are raising pigs to the fullest.
It's just that what the God of the Abyss wants is not material things, but the spiritual obedience of all human beings, and ultimately the realization of integration with his huge evil thoughts.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why thermal weapons such as gunpowder and cannons have been invented in this world, but they have never been widely used.
Obviously, the God of the Abyss does not like the progress of science and technology, and he does not want to see human beings' living standards improve, or even get rid of barbarism, and ignorance becomes more and more rational.
Because all of this will lead to earth-shaking changes in the social structure and environment, and greatly reduce the pain and suffering that people endure on the physical and mental levels.
A person who has never truly suffered from hunger or cold, or experienced the powerlessness of his family and friends dying in front of him will never understand the kind of despair that can drive people crazy.
It is this kind of people who look for reasons and desire to get rid of material things and pursue beliefs and gods that transcend individuals.
Compared with this most extreme pain, the various so-called "anxiety" people in modern society are not worth mentioning at all.
Since the rise of the Eagle City, Griffith began to select cronies from among the apostles to reorganize the Eagle Regiment, and began to actively expand and annex surrounding villages and towns, absorbing refugees who were fleeing at all costs.
Now it has gradually begun to look like a country.
It's just that this is not a secular regime, but a theocratic state formed by the escaped priests of the King's Hall.
And Griffith, the Eagle of Light, is that god, the Messiah who is destined to save the world.
But at this moment, the "savior" didn't look very good-looking.
The reason is simple!
He saw a person, a "beloved" who once haunted him and even temporarily gave up his dreams and fell into hell for the other person. At the same time, he was also the enemy who swore to make him pay the price during the sacrifice ceremony.
"GRIFFITHS!!!!!!!"
After Gus saw the other party's extremely familiar and beautiful face, he suddenly became furious and his facial expression instantly became extremely ferocious. The brand on his body continued to ooze blood and produced an indescribable intense burning sensation.
pain.
"..."
Griffith remained silent as always, just staring at the other person with his shining silver eyes.
As for Princess Sharut, who risked her life all the way to come to him, she was magnificently ignored.
Because in his eyes, even Casca, who has followed him from birth to death, is ultimately just a tool to humiliate Gus to satisfy some evil desires, not to mention that she has not invested even a little bit of emotion from the beginning.
She is a piece of shit princess who is not even qualified to be sacrificed.
If it wasn't for the purpose of usurping the throne of the Kingdom of Midland, he wouldn't even take a second look.
"G...Griffith!"
Sharut was extremely excited to see her sweetheart again, and immediately wanted to rush up and hug the man who had fascinated her.
But before she could get close, she was blocked by a huge apostle.
Especially the apostle's blood-red eyes instantly frightened the innocent princess so much that she collapsed on the ground with a look of fear on her face.
When she tried to ask Griffith for help with her eyes, she discovered that there was only the reflection of Gus in Griffith's eyes.
As for myself...
Like an unrelated stranger on the roadside.
moment!
The sweet dream about love in Sharlute's heart was shattered, replaced by an unprecedented sobriety.
She finally realized that Gus was right. This man had never loved her and only used her as a springboard and tool on the road to power.
But now Griffith no longer needs his useless self.
Thinking of this, the princess of the Kingdom of Mitland shed tears of sadness and regret. Even facing the huge apostle in front of her, she lost any fear and just sat there slumped there waiting for death to come.
Because for her, there is nothing left to miss in this world.
Her country has been seized by Hansel, and her only relative, the father, is a ghost father who is like a beast. She finally escaped and wanted to reunite with her beloved, only to find that the other person never loved her at all.
She seemed to be living in a huge lie and joke, with almost nothing except the title of a princess.
Fortunately, the apostle did not kill this non-threatening princess of the Kingdom of Mitland. Instead, he pushed her to the side with his huge tentacles to avoid being affected in the subsequent battle.
"Gus! It's been so long! I heard you've become stronger?"
Zod, who maintained his human form, took the lead and took a step forward with a big knife on his shoulder, obviously intending to catch up with his "old friend".
As a fighting maniac, no one is happier than him to see Gus today.
"Go away! Zod! I don't have time to play with you now!"
Gus rushed forward and swung the dragon-slaying sword, trying to knock the opponent away with his strengthened body and brute force.
But unfortunately, he obviously underestimated Zod's power.
As one of the top apostles, Zod possesses strength, speed, experience and fighting will that other apostles do not have at all.
Otherwise, he would have become a dead soul under the opponent's sword in repeated battles with the Skeleton Knight.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With huge weapons like heavy iron blocks constantly colliding together and making deafening sounds, this fateful battle finally kicked off.
But just like when they first met, Guts was still alone, while Griffith still had quite a few men.
"Hahahaha! That's right! That's it! Come on, let's fight to our heart's content. Don't even think about taking another step forward until you defeat me!"
Zod grinned wildly and laughed wildly, with a look of excitement and enjoyment on his ferocious face.
But after about ten seconds he stopped laughing.
The reason is also very simple. How could the crudely made iron weapon in his hand be the opponent of the dragon-slaying sword that Zuo Si personally strengthened and enchanted.
After only a few collisions, a huge gap appeared on the blade, and it was eventually cut into two pieces. A huge wound half a meter long appeared on his chest, and blood spurted out like it was free.
"I say it one last time! Get away! Otherwise I will chop off your head with the next blow!"
Gus's eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent.
It was at this moment that he truly realized how powerful he had become.
The "immortal" Zod, who once had to be looked up to and even impossible to defeat, was now severely damaged without even being able to withstand a few moves.
This undoubtedly provided him with great confidence as he was about to challenge the Hand of God.
"Asshole! How dare you underestimate me?"
Zod instantly became so angry that he turned into a huge horned monster, waving his claws violently in an attempt to show off Gus.
Even the wound on his body that would have been fatal in the eyes of ordinary people was completely healed with his apostle transformation.
"You asked for this!"
Seeing Zod being so ignorant, Gus didn't intend to show any mercy, and directly used the huge soul energy in his body to strengthen his physical fitness, and faced him like a cannonball.
boom!!!!!!
Following the deafening air explosion, Zod barely blocked the blow with the remaining half of his sword.
To be continued...
