Chapter 896 The Symbol of Evil(1/4)
Bang!
When the water-calling sword approached the God of the Abyss, it immediately began to disintegrate from the inside, and the entire sword instantly fell apart and turned into behelites, which in turn hit the Skeleton Knight.
In less than a second, the solid metal armor was covered with large and small dents.
Then the Skeleton Knight and the war horse under his crotch instantly hit the ground covered with lava and various monsters from mid-air, making a loud noise.
At this moment, he, who has always been considered inscrutable, has no power to fight back against the evil thoughts of all mankind.
To be precise, he was not even as good as Gus, a fish that jumped out of the water. From the moment he gave up his human identity and became a remnant soul attached to metal armor, he lost the qualification to resist fate.
That's why the Skeleton Knight will help Gus again and again to prevent Gus from going down the wrong path.
Only by preserving the identity of human beings and preserving the last trace of the bright side of humanity can it be possible to break the law of cause and effect and kill the hand of God.
However, he obviously didn't expect that Gus' fate would completely change due to the intervention of a group of outsiders.
Just when he crawled out of the hot lava pit, he suddenly saw Gus, strengthened by magic and god-like power, raising the dragon-slaying sword in his hand and slashing at the huge heart floating in the air with thunderous force.
Just thirty meters away from the God of the Abyss, an invisible force field suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking the giant sword falling from the sky.
Not only that!
The moment the sword blade collided with the barrier, some invisible force began to gather on Gus, pushing the sword in his hand forward slowly bit by bit.
"This...is this?!!"
The two points of cold light in the Skeleton Knight's eyes flashed crazily, and his voice revealed unparalleled shock and disbelief.
"That is the will of the other half of this world that has been suppressed and has never been able to awaken.
It represents the noble, kind, brave, kind, unyielding, tenacious, free and loving side of human nature.
Don’t you think that except for the evil idea in the abyss, human beings don’t have any precious qualities that symbolize good?
No!
In fact, it has always existed and is always fighting against its old enemy.
It's just that in the past long years, the dark side of human nature has always had the overwhelming upper hand, causing evil ideas to awaken first and continue to spread pain, ignorance and death in this world.
Otherwise, why do you think we were able to escape the shackles of the law of cause and effect for a short time back then?
In fact, all this is fate.
But it is not the web of destiny weaved by the God of the Abyss, but another arrangement of wills that are constantly fighting against it.
If those hands of God are the representatives of the will of the abyss, then people like you and Gus are the representatives of another will, but you are not aware of it.
By the way, your soul is exuding an alluring flavor that made me want to take a bite several times."
Hansel didn't know when he appeared behind the Skeleton Knight, his eyes flashing with naked greed and desire.
Because this is a soul that has accumulated over thousands of years. Although it does not exude the fragrance of evil like the Hand of God, it is also full of reluctance, anger, resistance and despair.
A soul like this is not comparable to those mortals who only have a life span of a few decades.
In fact, many people have a misunderstanding about the value of souls, that is, quantity can make up for quality.
But the real situation is exactly the opposite.
Even the devil who is least picky about the quality of souls will never exchange an extremely precious soul for a bunch of ordinary souls.
After all, there are basically as many ordinary souls as you want, but rare and precious souls are not something you can encounter casually.
The conditions for its emergence are too harsh and full of uncertain randomness.
"What do you want to do?"
The Skeleton Knight subconsciously wanted to wave the water-calling sword to push this extremely dangerous young man back, but he soon realized that the water-calling sword in his hand only had one hilt left.
As for the sword body made up of Behelite, all of them shattered into bullets and hit the metal armor in just a moment, and now they have completely disappeared.
I don’t know if it was broken or if it was recovered by the huge heart above the head.
"What are you doing? Of course you are looking for an opportunity to get yourself some snacks. After all, I didn't eat the souls of those Hands of God, so it would be good to use your soul as compensation."
After saying that, Hansel stretched out his pale right hand to the other party.
The Skeleton Knight raised his arm, which was completely supported by a metal frame and armor, to resist, but found that the pale hand turned into a spirit body at the moment of contact with him.
In a blink of an eye!
The magic mark that the old witch used to fix his soul became loose, and his whole soul seemed to be pulled by some huge force, accompanied by pain that was unbearable than any physical pain.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!!!"
Along with the heart-rending screams, facts once again proved that no life can endure the torture and pain from the soul.
With just one pull, a ruthless man like the Skeleton Knight, who once wore berserker armor and fought against the hand of God until his body collapsed, was on the verge of collapse.
If you were someone with some sympathy, you might choose to be merciful after seeing the tragic state of his soul.
But it is a pity that Hansel is an extremely evil, cold and cruel natural godlike power.
First of all, he does not have any empathy ability, so there is no so-called "sympathy" at all.
Secondly, mortal souls are just food in his eyes, just like anyone with a normal mind will not have any special feelings for the pigs, cattle and sheep slaughtered in the slaughterhouse.
Last but not least, he actually enjoyed the painful emotions released when his soul was being devoured and digested by him.
In addition to the energy of the soul itself, these negative emotions are also the source of its power.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So almost every time he devours souls, Hansel will become extremely scary, in order to create as much panic, despair and pain as possible.
To a certain extent, his divine-like characteristics are actually very close to those of the God of the Abyss.
It's just that one was born from the collective evil thoughts of all mankind, so it is also firmly bound by the evil of mankind.
The other one was born from the seeds given by Zuo Si. Although it was also affected by various aspects including the dark void, the fragments of the bottomless abyss, the will of the hell plane of Bator, etc., it was not subject to any restrictions in thought and consciousness.
.
"No!!!! Don't even think about it!"
As the first rebel to dare to resist the God of the Abyss and try to kill the God's Hand, the Skeleton Knight will certainly not sit still and wait for death.
Although the pain caused by the soul tearing made him unconscious, he still urged the horse under his crotch to retreat quickly, successfully avoiding the soul mark being found.
"Hahahaha! I like food that resists, because it will taste extra delicious."
Hansel laughed and turned into a spirit body and chased after him.
He obviously did not pay attention to the Skeleton Knight's struggle, but regarded it as a pre-meal exercise or a kind of fun.
While one was chasing and the other was escaping, the collision between Guts and the God of the Abyss had reached a fever pitch.
Especially the blade of the Dragon-Slaying Sword is now covered with a thick layer of silver-white light.
It is not any energy or substance, but abstract spirit and rules, and it is also blessed by the will of the other half of the world that is suppressed.
It is this kind of blessing that constantly destroys the law of cause and effect controlled by evil thoughts, making the giant sword continue to approach the entity presented by evil thoughts.
There is no doubt that this battle, which is far beyond the understanding of most people, is actually the main theme of the world under our feet that has lasted for thousands of years.
It is also the struggle between good and evil in human nature.
Especially Gus' eyes that had always been very cold, full of anger and hatred, are now blooming with the brilliance of humanity.
He could even clearly feel that the dark past that had been distorted and tampered with could actually become very beautiful.
It's all because the web of fate woven by the God of the Abyss destroyed everything.
The God of the Abyss must die!
The human will must regain its freedom!
The destiny of mankind can only be controlled by mankind itself!
For yourself!
And for Casca and all the other suffering people in this world!
Gus has made up his mind to defeat and even destroy the evil thoughts in front of him even if he is wiped out in smoke.
Just as he was going all out to split the protective barrier formed by the law of cause and effect on the opponent, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from his heart.
"Do you still remember the aborted, deformed demon baby you and Casca?
