Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 820: The butcher’s knife swung to the gods
Chapter 820 of the main text, the butcher's knife swung to the gods
In the evening.
A bright round moon quietly climbed up the withered treetops.
The dry night breeze blows, and it doesn't seem to contain a trace of moisture.
However, the city of Uruk is still lit up with lights, and citizens who look extraordinarily big compared to humans outside have walked out of their homes.
Went around the towering [Tongtian Tower] in the corner of the city and the magnificent [Sky Garden] on the top of the tower.
Looking at this man-made building that rises up like a miracle, every pair of eyes that seem to have gone through countless sufferings are filled with boundless pride.
Although the natural disasters of floods and droughts a year have lasted for two rounds, the vast majority of taxation, worship, and countless rare treasures of the entire country are still concentrated here.
[Sky Garden] is full of the rarest beautiful flowers and plants, as well as the most precious...water source during the drought.
There is only one purpose for all this.
Boom! Boom! Boom! ...
Hundreds of great men fought hard to beat the huge cowhide drum.
Beep--!
Fifty priests with golden crowns arranged in two rows blew the horns in their hands.
Nebuchadnezzar, wearing a solemn sacrificial robe and a "crown of thorns" on his head, barefoot, like a "sinner" begging for atonement, walking up the spiral staircase surrounding the tower. The sky garden at the top of the tower.
Behind him is Paracelsus, who has been appointed as the crown sage of the kingdom's "sages" because of the magical "potions technology" and quirky sorcery.
Except for them and a group of priests in white robes, there is no one else on the entire "Tongtian Pagoda".
Gold and silver, precious stones, colorful costumes, treasures in the mountains and deep sea, mature male goats, lambs, musk, harvest plants, white figs, beer, honey, butter...
Dangdang is full of the entire huge circular altar.
In the human and **** system of Muria civilization.
Although the gods are stalwarts with unlimited authority, their basic needs are no different from those of mortals. They need food, clothing, shelter, and even marriage.
So in addition to faith, the highest quality offerings are also indispensable.
In this year of severe drought, where there has not been a single drop of rain since the New Year, there is no one in the whole kingdom, dare to be sloppy about this sacrificial ceremony.
When the sun and the moon meet, the sacrificial ceremony officially begins.
The sacrificial ritual lights the finest spices, walks slowly around the altar, and mutters the honorific name silently, and respectfully invites every **** enshrined by the Murian people to pay attention to this.
On the altar, there are also stone steles engraved with the holy names, icons, and emblems of every god. There are at least twenty large and small.
Among them.
The most noble one is: the all-inclusive "God of the Sky", "Father of the Gods" Anu, whose image is a magnificent triple crown placed on the throne.
In all myths and legends, this main **** has never left the kingdom of heaven and has come to the mortal world. There is no doubt that he is a great true god!
Below him is the three-pillar **** with the highest position.
Enlil, "Master of Wind" and "King of Air", is not only the humid spring breeze that nourishes the growth of all things, but also the **** of hurricanes. Floods and strong winds are his weapons;
Although there are two sides of good and evil, most of the time it shows the tyrannical side.
Marduk, "King of Kings", "Lord of Life", gathers the power of the gods;
It is the great **** who reborn the gods, the spellcaster who rebirth the dead, the wise man who is aware of the fate, the protector of justice and law, the creator of all things, the king of kings...
Inanna, "the **** of love, blood and war", is the most beautiful of the gods, with many admirers and followers.
There are many other auxiliary gods, Kibil, the **** of fire riding on firebirds, Adad, the **** of water riding on a bull with stone arrows in both hands, and sons of Marduk: the silt gods Ram and Raham. ...
Even the sacred fire used for sacrifice is a **** named Nusku.
Teng!
The flame is blazing, which means that the gods are willing to accept the offerings of mortals.
A group of priests in white robes respectfully threw the sacrifices on the altar into the sacred fire after cleaning their hands.
At the same time, he sang in his mouth: "Shen Huo Nusku, without you, no banquet can be held in the temple; without you, the great gods cannot smell the fragrance..."
All kinds of high-quality sacrifices that even the king can't enjoy, touch the sacred fire, and they will immediately turn into a blue smoke and rush into the sky and enter the kingdom of the life of the gods.
However, the sacrifice is so rich.
A group of priests worked together, and from dusk until the bright moon hung high, did they sacrifice the last exquisite wine set made of gold.
Compared with the dry world below the "Tongtian Tower", it is a bit ironic.
Teng——!
Immediately, the sacred fire rose for several meters in an instant, indicating that the gods were very satisfied with the sacrifice.
At the same time.
The most noble king in the world looked at the dry riverbed under the tower, the dry seedlings, and the eager gaze of his subjects, and he took a deep breath and slammed on the ground. The thorns pierced his forehead and didn't care.
Raise your hands high, screaming in your mouth:
"The gods in the sky, everything of mankind is controlled and controlled by great gods. With the most loyal faith, we will build towers, build gardens, and offer the most beautiful sacrifices for you...
But countless sufferings still surround such pious Muria people.
Between the two rivers, sometimes the river floods, sometimes encounters drought, sometimes big storms, sometimes heavy thunderstorms turn the world into a swamp.
Me! Nebuchadnezzar! On behalf of all mankind, I beg you, God, please open your eyes and show your kindness to the humans on the earth! "
Probably the gods who are enjoying the sacrifices in the sky probably did not expect that there will be human kings so bold that they dare to negotiate terms with the gods.
The whole world was quiet for a moment, and even the air stopped flowing.
Immediately, a loud and thunderous voice hovered over the entire city of Uruk.
"Mortals are not qualified to negotiate with God.
Man is created by gods, and man is given a small life just to be able to carry out the will of the gods in the world. You must worship the gods, believe in the gods, and make offerings to the gods!
All disasters are to temper your will, test your piety, and shape your soul.
Whether it is blessings or disasters, it is a gift from the gods. You should accept it with pleasure, and then believe in God more religiously, rather than bargaining with your father! ! ! "
Many citizens in the city have fallen to their knees in horror, begging for forgiveness with their heads.
"However, in the face of these rich tributes, I, "Lord of Life" Marduk, can temporarily forgive your lies.
But! The next full moon night must offer us three times the sacrifice, otherwise I will destroy Uruk and re-select a qualified human king who fears the gods. "
However.
After hearing the ultimatum of this divine punishment, the bearded human king Nebuchadnezzar did not stay silent, but stood up from the ground.
Throwing away the "crown" of blood-stained thorns on his head, lowered his eyes and muttered to himself:
"Maybe...I shouldn't have expected you..."
This action is already heinous to the gods.
It is the rebellion of mortals and the blasphemy of the authority of the gods by the mere ants!
However, the gods who saw this scene in the sky were not angry, they just thought it was funny.
It's like an ant is more powerful than a human being. In the face of an insurmountable gap, it is like a hilarious joke.
A mere human being who can't help himself, any **** can crush it to death at will.
However, the "crazy" actions of King Nebuchadnezzar did not stop there.
Wow...
Kicked down the stone stele engraved with the holy name on the altar, raised his head and looked at the sky, every word:
"The greedy gods, starting today, the rules of the game have changed! The so-called gods must serve people. If you are not obedient, as the kings of all humans, I don't mind..."
The king looked at the sky and uttered two deafening words:
"Wielding a knife...Slaying God!"
The voice just fell.
The King of Muria took over a "black cross-shaped halberd" hidden by the crown wizard in the [Witchcraft Garden].
Om——!
The perfect muscle like a marble sculpture rises high, and the majestic psychic energy in the body bursts apart.
Obviously, this is also a Tier 4 [psionicist] who relies on himself rather than the power of gods.
"Drink, I said...this halberd must hit!"
[Spell-like·Speaking Spirit]
Shoo!
A black light came out, like a poisonous dragon that had chosen someone to eat, soaring into the sky, but suddenly sinking into the void.
"Ah!"
With a cry of pain in the air.
There is a golden liquid falling down like raindrops, and there will be clear springs, flowers blooming, and fruits everywhere....
However, it was not rain, but... God's blood!
Woo woo woo...
Only for a moment.
Suddenly, there are dark clouds in the sky that seem to crush the sky for thousands of miles.
The dark cloud centered on the Tongtian Pagoda suddenly split into two halves, and a silhouette of the sky above the head appeared like a thunder and a hurricane.
That is Enlil, the "king of air" among the three pillar gods.
In his hand, he clenched a lightning spear that was several kilometers long and threw it from the sky with scorching anger.
Boom--! ! !
For a time, the wind and clouds stood blankly, and everything whimpered.
The masterpiece of mankind, the towering tower of Tongtian was easily split into two pieces like straw, and fell into the city.
Immediately.
The wind and the stone sing together:
"The great city of Uruk has fallen! It has fallen! It has become a dwelling place for demons, a prison for all kinds of filthy spirits, and a nest for all kinds of filthy and abominable birds."
This is obviously the mighty power of "Lord of Life" Marduk, and the unlucky person among the gods who was wounded by mortals.
Immediately after all the residents of Uruk City heard a beautiful female voice speaking in their hearts:
"People who are still loyal to me, come out of that city, lest you be guilty with it and suffer the disasters it has suffered.
How uruk glorifies himself and how luxurious he is, he should also be called painful and sorrowful!
So within a day, its disasters will come all at once, namely death, sorrow, and famine. It will be consumed by fire again, because the Lord God who judges it has great power! "
Obviously King Nebuchadnezzar was well prepared before today's ceremony~IndoMTL.com~ Today's sacrifice is also his last effort to seek peace.
The high-ranking [psionicist] has sent the citizens safely.
Shoo! call out! call out! call out! call out! ....
The "flagworms" resembling locusts in the broken "Tongtian Pagoda" have soared into the sky with a black cross halberd.
......
Boom!
In the east-west strip of "Broken Star Archipelago" formed by tens of thousands of islands, a group of four people jumped off the "Haihun" that quietly landed on the "East Two Islands" by Aiwen.
The fog of war shrouded on this large island was also dispelled with his gaze.
"According to the population of the [Witchcraft Garden·Uluk Temple], the Muria civilization has a total of approximately 35 million people.
According to records, the power of the inheritors of this civilization comes from nature, and its people also have the ability to communicate with nature.
They fear gods and believe in the spirits of all things, and gods are in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation. What we saw in the secret realm should be something unexpected..."
Jeros, who knows the destination best, is still eloquently explaining the general situation of this civilization to his companions.
Suddenly.
Boom--!
A huge figure nearly ten meters tall fell from the sky and crashed on the ground in front of them, splashing the blood of the front Jero.
Immediately centered on it, a long and turbulent river "grew" from the ground. It was a power that overflowed from a demigod.
Ivan and his party raised their heads, looked at the sky in the fierce battle, their mouths could not help but slowly opened up:
"This time... the start is the battle of the gods?"
