The holder of the Black Holy Grail is a third-level warlord (soldier) that Lu Pingan "packaged and downloaded" from Chris. From the beginning of obtaining it, Lu Pingan sensed something was wrong.
"...This strength is overflowing. If you succeed in taking office, you will have two strategic abilities of the Silver Law Order level. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a fourth- or fifth-level soldier profession."
If there is still an error in the estimation of the strength, then the "Silver Low-Level Professional Abilities" logo of the Life Bank will clearly show what is wrong.
Da Mao also explained that this was the "evil god path", but it's not like Lu Ping'an didn't have an evil god profession (heavy-armed warrior), and he had also received divine grace.
Under normal circumstances, what kind of bottle contains what grade of wine, curse-level occupations, and items, why do they have higher-level abilities? Or it just jumped to a higher level...
Lu Ping'an ran to ask Fang Wen, and he also knew that the normal "Black Holy Grail" is only the "Black Holy Grail (brass upper)" that collects the black holy water of the dead, the declaration of war (brass upper), and the "detonation of the body (brass)"
High-level professional abilities)"...This is the normal third-level professional strength.
Moreover, the power and scope are not as strong as Lu Ping An's performance.
"...This looks like a fifth-level black knight. It can be used as the core of the legion battle." Fang Wen was a little confused, but thinking that it was Lu Ping'an, it didn't seem strange.
"Maybe it's me who has the problem."
The power of the Black Holy Grail made Lu Ping'an realize that it might not be the problem with this profession, but the problem with himself who owns this profession.
When he focused on the "Black Holy Grail" itself, he found that this ability was inexplicably familiar...
"...The 'Black Holy Grail' should be the same thing as the 'Mother Goddess Statue', they are both 'life collectors'..."
Inspiration flashed through his mind, but Lu Pingan knew that this might be the answer.
After all, the Black Knight is a death type, but at the same time, it is also a life type, using the power of death/life force.
That black cup continuously absorbs and collects the lives, souls, and spirits of the dead on the battlefield, and condenses them into "materialized" black holy water.
The last cup of "black holy water" gathered the "lives" of at least thousands of professionals to achieve such extraordinary strength.
That scene inexplicably reminded Lu Ping'an of that night, the night when he and Big Cat first met.
"...That tree, that big tree where countless flesh and blood gather, is the statue of the Mother Goddess of the Big Cat, and it is her object of enlightenment..."
Lu Ping'an reviewed the ceremony afterwards. He knew that if the ceremony went well, lives would continue to die in the gladiatorial battle, and then the weak and deceased would be hung on the tree and become part of the "Mother Goddess".
This is very similar to the Black Holy Grail, it is the same as "collecting lives", and then...
"At the end of the ceremony, when it is proven that her 'rules' are the 'law of the world', Chris will merge with the Mother Goddess statue and complete her ascension..."
At that moment, Lu Ping'an suddenly understood.
"...She uses life as a stepping stone, as a resource, as a...currency!"
In a sense, the encounter between Lu Ping'an and Da Mao is inevitable. His "courtyard" is Da Mao's legacy, and naturally it also has her accumulation.
And Lu Ping'an, who inherited Big Cat's "existence", happened to encounter Big Cat's own "rules", and exploded with power that transcended class.
So, at that time, he really became interested in the "Mother Goddess Cult".
Lu Ping'an knew that it was Big Cat's "own god" created based on the "source".
Faced with Lu Ping'an's inquiry, Chrissy's pretty face darkened.
For the first time, she didn't want to preach at all, let alone talk about her ideas and life...
"I'm not your...nutrition!"
The calm words came from the anger in her heart. In her eyes, Lu Ping'an was really too deceitful.
Lu Pingan was still smiling, seemingly unfazed at all.
He had many ways to "persuade" Big Cat, such as saying "I'm going to find Fang Wen", using some deterrents and rewards (candy and whips) like in the past, or doing random exchanges of benefits, but in the end, he
What came out of my mouth was...
"...Your road has been determined to be unreachable."
Chris' face became even more ugly, because the most irritating thing was always the truth.
The failure of the ritual of ascending to the gods was not accidental. She had already exceeded the "caution" and "accumulation" required for normal ascending to the gods. Her success rate was at least 95%... So, her failure
, it is very likely that it is inevitable.
"Have I taken the wrong path? There is no hope ahead..." In the deserted night, when Chris was summarizing the past, she could not help but feel sad and question herself.
To ascend to the gods is to prove to the world that one's "rules" are "principles of the world" that can pass through the world... But if the answer is no from the beginning, then no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain.
Wrong formula, verified ten thousand times, is still wrong.
It’s true that all roads lead to Rome, but there are limits to how many people can walk when building roads. Due to geographical conditions, some roads can only be built halfway, and some people can only walk halfway.
And if Big Mao just suspected that his path would not work, Lu Ping'an was almost certain...
"...If this road works, there is no need for the world to let me come here."
It can be said that Lu Ping'an even vaguely guessed that it was Big Cat's ritual of ascending to the gods that led to her "time travel"... The whole world was hindering her success in ascending to the gods.
"...She may not have taken the wrong road, but for the whole world, this road cannot be taken by anyone."
If there is really no hope, she will not succeed in becoming a god if she leaves it alone. With Big Cat’s extraordinary “treatment”, it can only be said that she has stepped on the world’s thunder... Especially Lu Ping’an understands
After understanding the nature of the Mother Goddess Religion, it is almost a certain fact.
Yes, Lu Pingan already knows, but now he still chooses to question Chris because he hopes...
"...You should have realized that as long as 'I' is here, you cannot succeed in becoming a god. And I am not originally in this world. What prevents you from becoming a god is the whole world..."
Some things cannot be hidden, especially from those who are always around you.
Lu Pingan expressed his sincerity. He was not holding on to Big Cat's pain, but since Big Cat was destined to be unable to reach his own end, and Lu Pingan was forced to start from her end, he wanted not to make the same mistake again.
, must obtain the wholehearted cooperation of Big Cat.
At least, you need to know where the big cat's path is wrong, which part is not tolerated by the world.
"Do you think I don't understand..." In Chrissy's words, there was hatred, for fate? For the gods? For the world?
At least Lu Ping'an knew that the hatred was not for him.
"I know your plan, but...I am not your nutrition." But it was still the same words, the same rejection.
She had already seen through everything, but still chose to refuse.
Lu Pingan touched his chin, he knew that his words were unfounded.
"...You should have been waiting, waiting for this courtyard to grow into a real kingdom of God, waiting for your AI to regain its entity, and even regain its life..."
Now, it was the big cat's turn to be frightened.
"... How could you possibly know the knowledge of the gods? How could you possibly know the evolution of the courtyard? I've bypassed all of that..."
"I bought it with money, and it's in the library." Lu Ping'an was a little funny. In fact, even without looking at the "information", he had vaguely guessed it.
Chris almost lost his temper and turned around, it turned out that "she" had leaked the information.
"Don't worry, I can promise not to unplug you in advance... When I reach your past heights, I will give you another chance."
“…..Are you planning to treat me as your master against the wind!? How bold, how…” In an instant, Chris understood, and then became furious.
This time, she guessed wrong.
Lu Ping'an smiled and shook his head, looking at her with eyes full of sympathy and pity, just like looking at a "child".
"Ascension to the gods... is that the end point you imagined? Don't you want to look in a higher direction? Do you regard gods as your end point? Haha, it's just a principle of the world...
...Look at those divine bones. Millions of years ago, they may have been more powerful than any other god, but they were still buried in their own world and became our 'material'."
The young man looked at Chris with blind eyes, but his unfocused pupils looked directly past her, as if looking into the future.
"Don't you want to see if your pursuit of 'life' has really reached its limit? Can I, who inherited your 'life', be able to complete it? How far will our principles evolve in the end?"
"In the past, I thought you and I were completely opposite, but sometimes, I discovered that we are actually the same. Looking back now, maybe both are right... I am your complement,
You are mine too, don't you want to know, can we reach that point in the end? The Twelve Pillar Gods are the ultimate of everything? Not necessarily, those 'sources' are countless times more powerful than them."
"Are you limited to this world, a multidimensional world of slow death from pollution sources? Don't you want to see that pure technological world, that pure world without sources? Your past, your thoughts, your vision,
You didn’t even think about restraining you..."
"The more afraid you are and the more you run away, the more miserable your life will be. What's the point of living? It's just a walking zombie... Haven't you realized that you have already become a slave to your own 'pursuit'?
?When you are still staring at that god position, everything is doomed. Even if you really succeed in becoming a god, you can get what you want...freedom and eternal life? Then, maybe a super snail
Shell is better for you."
Lu Ping'an was calm, and his simple and direct words made Chris fall into panic.
God's position? That may be the goal, but what the coward in front of him is really pursuing is a stable place, an ark to escape from death.
"You!" She became angry and wanted to say something, but was pushed back by Lu Ping'an's soft words.
"If you want to deny it... tell me, have you ever thought about what you plan to do after you succeed in ascending to the gods? It's not the cliche winner takes all. Have you ever thought about using god-level power?
Do something?”
You give up everything to pursue power, and then what? What are you going to do with that power? You won’t just get it and stop there, right? That’s too stupid, right?
At this moment, those dull eyes seemed to see through everything.
Even Chris, who was once a quasi-god, closed her eyes helplessly after looking directly at him.
Lu Pingan's guess was correct. She really hadn't thought about it. She only wanted to succeed in becoming a god and then escape from the endless doom and end.
"Kirdales, don't keep staring at that little throne. It's too boring. Maybe you and I have become death fighters in the arena due to fate, but it doesn't matter if our bodies are bound by fate.
It’s too miserable to have your will become a doll of fate.”
"What kind of person you want to become, what kind of place you want to go, still depends on your own choice... Come out, don't always focus on your past failures, and what is one step away from God? Gaze
It’s too short-sighted.”
Lu Pingan stretched out his hand, with a rare sincerity on his face.
"...I need your help. As the price of the transaction, I, Lu Ping'an, will not only give you the security and freedom you dream of, but also..."
