Sinmonger Chapter 24: cherubim
After getting rid of the blood owl, Balmond and Dino continue to move towards the center of the ruins in the city
On the way, Balmond did not say a word. The scene in front of him had many intersections with what he saw in his dream, as if the things he saw in the black and white world were being repeated in the form of phantoms around him /
Dino is much more sober than Balmond. He can also be distracted to observe the ruins of the surrounding ruins. On some of the stone walls that are still intact, Dino can vaguely see messages similar to text or Geometric figures, and even some stone carvings that have not been completely destroyed, look like mysterious objects in various religious legends. Of course, these are all carved on the wall, or stone products, and can only be said to be some kind of fake or recorded object
“This is it” Balmond looked up, looking up at the temple in front of him
The architectural structure of this temple adopts a centralized dome, which looks like a raised round hat from the air. The theme of the temple is circular. The highest point in the building is fifty meters high. The diameter is also 50 meters. There are seven giant pillars in front of the gate. The giant pillars support a vast eaves. This building is entirely made of stone, but it is strange that this place has not been destroyed by time like other buildings in the city.
Walking closer, you can see that the front porch is tall and majestic, and the surrounding reliefs are gorgeous and colorful, but the carvings can’t be said to be angels or devils. Dino glanced at them quickly. and monsters with many eyes
Two huge stone gates merged together and stood in front of them, blocking the way into the temple
However, it is more than enough to push through a stone door of this size with the power of Cesare Balmond
It takes the most force to move the first inch. Once the stone door is pushed up from a static state, it will be relatively labor-saving. Bamond did not fully open the door. He just pushed the door on the left side out a distance of about five meters. The width is enough to pass several people
A ray of light shot into the dark temple, and a strong smell of rust came from the door. The interior of this circular building was empty, only the middle position, there was something
A giant iron coffin
The metal on the surface of the coffin has turned black, giving off a strong smell. The light from the gate just hit the coffin. Bamond walked straight to it and came to the front of the coffin. Speaking to himself, he was still talking to Dino: “The sky code records that the gate to the gods is in the center of this temple, does it mean this coffin…” At this moment, the huge iron coffin suddenly made a noise
A huge object moved without warning in this poor lighting environment, anyone would instinctively stay away from it Dino took a few steps back subconsciously but Balmond stood still There is no movement there. This kind of reaction can only show that this person is strong enough to overcome human instinct, and he is not afraid of the potential threat that an unknown thing can cause
For example, you see a box that says “Dangerous Goods” but doesn’t say what it is, then you have a concept in your mind that it might be explosives, poisons, man-eating monsters, good people cards, etc. …when you stand in front of the box and the box suddenly moves a few times, your first reaction must be that you are about to encounter some kind of injury, and then you will react to protect yourself
But Bamond wouldn’t have reacted this way, because even if there was a bomb going off right in front of him, it wouldn’t matter to him
In the iron coffin, a voice sounded, in human language, “The one who opened the portal, is that you?”
Balmond looks calm: “It’s me”
“Call Your Name, Human”
“Cesare, Balmond” The tone of his answer, no doubt that he is a big man, as if all creatures in this world should have heard his name
“Bamond…” The voice replied, “Are you the monarch of the human world?”
“No,” Balmond replied, “but soon, I will rule the world”
“So…” The voice paused: “My name is Cherub, I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time”
“Can you open the gates of the Garden of Eden?” Balmond asked
“Yes” Cherubim replied
“Then what are you waiting for?” Balmond asked
“I am the guardian of the gate of the Garden of Eden, blocking all the ‘sin’ creatures from the gate” Cherubim replied: “You can use the key to come to the Hanging Garden, which proves that you have the ability to conquer the world. The might of the Fifth Kingdom, but you are still a human being, a slave to sin”
“Let me in” said Barmond: “I am God”
“Obtaining the fruit of the tree of life can indeed free human beings from that weak **, but that does not mean that you will become an equal existence with our generation.” The cherubs replied: “Sin, it will not end there. disappear”
“It doesn’t matter, how are you going to open the door for me?” Balmond asked urgingly
“Never” said the cherubim: “Humans and our uncivilized brethren are aggressive creatures, cruel by nature, advocating force, and sin makes you cunning, if not short-lived, Fragile life, you, etc. have long become the most terrifying team in all kingdoms
Because of this, I handed the keys to humans for safekeeping, and set a spell on the sky code that only humans closest to the gods can open the gates of the sky gardens about stepping into the realm of gods My knowledge is just a trap. I originally wanted the strongest among you to fight each other for this thing, and finally grab the key, the one who came to me…
I will give him death with my own hands”
At this point, not only did Balmond not have any fear on his face, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: “Watchdog…If you don’t bite, maybe I won’t do anything with you…” He He was about to step forward to disassemble the iron coffin into eight pieces, but suddenly found himself unable to move
An invisible coercion has actually nailed Balmond’s feet to the ground
“Sir” Dino exclaimed, and he could no longer move, but he was quite naive to think that the big commander would not be recruited
Balmond had no time to care about his pastor and just silently began to use energy to probe how the other party did it, and tried to find a way to resolve it
The huge iron coffin opened a gap at this time, and a large amount of red blood rushed out from the gap. It was really a river of blood. Bamond’s ankle was instantly immersed in the blood.
A ray of light outside the stone gate shines on the iron coffin, allowing Barmond to enjoy the suffocating scene
In the gap that gradually widened, a baby-like face appeared. The cherubim looked like a baby still in the mother’s body, curled up with his hands on his knees. He was not squatting at the bottom of the coffin, but at the bottom of the coffin. An upper middle position
Balmond originally thought that the other party depended on blood to float at that height. With the flow of blood, it should slowly fall, but as the coffin was opened, the contents inside were completely exposed, even Balmond. They all looked horrified and saw that the inside of the iron coffin was covered with long and narrow iron needles, as dense as a mountain of needles, with almost no gaps, and the cherub’s body was pierced by those long nails in the coffin
“The strong man in the human world, the only reason you dare to challenge me is your ignorance…” After the iron coffin was opened, Bamond discovered that the voice of the cherub was not the one that came out of his mouth. The baby’s face is peacefully closed, and the lips are not moved
“Even if you can temporarily block my actions” Balmond said, “What can you do with your virtue?”
The cherubs snapped open their eyes: “You’ll know soon.” He stretched out his arms, straightened his legs, and grabbed the edges of the iron coffin with both hands, pulling his body from the long The needle is pulled out
Another burst of blood gushed out. At this point, the cherub’s body can be clearly seen. When standing, he probably looks like a five- or six-year-old child, but his size should be regarded as a child among giants. For human beings , the cherubim are still giants
His skin is white and the texture is like jade. The wounds pierced by the iron needles healed quickly after he walked out of the iron coffin
His body looked like a human child, but after stepping out of the iron coffin, his body began to glow, with four wings extending from behind him, and four faces appeared around his head /
A coercion spread, and everyone in the sky garden felt the awakening of a kind of power, but because of the distance, there will be strengths and weaknesses. Yes, this is some kind of power they have never touched
The two inner wings of the cherub’s four wings wrapped around his body, and looked like he was wearing a robe made of white feathers. The outer wings were still open to look at his three extra faces , the left is a lion, the right is an eagle, and the back of the head is an adult human face
“Stop your actions, rely on this eye” When the cherubs spoke, he slightly opened the palm of his right hand, and there was actually an open human eye in that palm, staring at Balmond
“I can’t stop my thoughts, so I don’t let myself see too much.” When the cherub said this, countless eyes appeared on the skin of his body one after another. Except for the four faces, his The body is almost full of human eyes, each of which is almond-shaped, with black pupils, without eyelashes and eyelids
“Hmph… it’s just an ugly monster, how could God be like you?” Balmond snorted coldly. He actually gradually got used to the power of the other’s gaze, and his body regained some ability to move. /
“Ugly?” Cherub replied: “Cesare Balmond, your point of view just proves that you are a disgusting creature. Human aesthetics stem from the thirst for carnal desire within the race. What you define as ugly is aging, obesity, a disproportionate figure, facial features, and imperfections in your skin, based on the filthiest foundation. Your standard itself is declaring some kind of potential rule, isn’t it?” Cherubim opened the eyes on his face, looked at Balmond and said, “When this standard is combined with your hopeless arrogance, the idea is that everything is different from you or makes you feel Unhealthy creatures are ugly”
Balmond remained silent, he hoped that the cherubs would continue to speak, so as to buy himself more time to resume action
“Your eyes are as one-sided as the ray of light shining from the door” When the cherubs spoke, the two giant stone doors of the temple actually began to move on their own, until they were fully opened, and the light from outside entered After that, it completely illuminates the interior space of the entire temple
Dino’s expression became extremely surprised, because he saw countless scenes from the human world on the four walls of the temple, those totems and murals depicting different civilizations in various periods and regions of human beings /
“The ancient Roman Empire built roads to conquer neighboring countries, the British Empire ruled the world by building ships, and the Third Reich swept Europe with a powerful army” Cherubim said one by one, referring to the huge frescoes on the wall: ” Those who master technology master the world. In other words, in order to master the world, you humans master technology invasion and destruction, which is synonymous with you. Do you feel proud to be a member of this race?
Your arrogance is self-deception without logic. You are invaders from the perspective of other creatures, and destroyers from the perspective of the universe. You recklessly plunder all resources and resources that are useful to you. They even keep low-level species in captivity for their own food, carry out indiscriminate mating activities, and continue to breed how dirty they are, clearly doing the coldest deeds in the world, and claiming to be the spirit of all things.”
The cherubim paused, bent down, and faced Balmond at close range: “And the most powerful of you, come here, at the feet of my god, to judge a **** by appearance, call him Just a monster” on his face, those eyes light up
A kind of light appeared in the pupil of Tiantong cherub~IndoMTL.com~, this is the light Cesare Balmond has never seen in his life, the color of that light does not exist in this world, There is no word to describe it
Balmond’s pupils, at that moment, also became the same color as the other party. In his brain, the black and white dream world and the colored real world overlapped 100% at this moment
“This is…what…” Balmond looked down at his palm: “I…I am…what…”
“I see, human, this is my vision, now… what is ugliness?” Cherubim asked here, and suddenly stopped
He felt something and pondered in his heart, “Yang Jian… was killed… the narrator?” The eyes on the lion face of the cherub suddenly opened, and in his vision, dark water appeared figure
“It turns out that the creatures of the fourth kingdom…” Cherubim thought, and then fell into thinking
Dino couldn’t move at all during this time. He whispered to Balmond a few times, but Balmond just turned his back to him and didn’t move at all. Even the reaction of his energy disappeared, as if Dolls who have lost consciousness (to be continued)
