Chapter 820

evening.

A bright full moon quietly climbed up the Yellow treetop.

Dry night wind blowing, as if there is no trace of moisture.

But the city of Urumqi is still decorated with lights. Compared with the outside world, the citizens with big eyes go out of their homes one after another.

Gather around the towering Tongtian tower in a corner of the city and the magnificent sky garden on the top of the tower.

Looking at the man-made buildings rising like miracles, every pair of eyes that seem to have experienced countless hardships are filled with boundless pride.

Although the natural disasters of one year's flood and one year's drought have lasted for two rounds, the vast majority of taxes, offerings and countless treasures of the whole country are still concentrated here.

[hanging garden] is full of the most rare kinds of beautiful flowers and plants, as well as the most precious water in the drought.

There is only one purpose to all this.

Dong! Dong! Dong

Hundreds of Luxi beat the drum hard.

Duh!

Fifty priests in two rows with golden crowns sounded their trumpets.

Wearing a solemn robe and a crown of thorns, Nebuchadnezzar walked barefoot, like a "sinner" pleading for atonement, up the spiral steps around the tower to the "Hanging Garden" at the top of the tower.

He was followed by Paracelsus, who had been appointed the crown Wizard of the "sage" of the kingdom because of his magical "potion technology" and strange witchcraft.

Except for them and a group of white robed priests, there was no one else on the whole "Tongtian tower".

Gold and silver, precious stones, colorful costumes, mountain and deep sea treasures, mature goats, lambs, musk, harvest plants, white figs, beer, honey, butter

It's full of huge round altars.

In the human God system of Muria civilization.

Although the gods have unlimited power and great power, their basic needs are the same as those of ordinary people, and their basic necessities are clothing, food, housing, transportation and even marriage.

So in addition to faith, the best offering is also essential.

In today's drought year, which has not seen a drop of rain since the new year, no one in the whole kingdom dares to be careless about the sacrificial ceremony.

When the sun and the moon meet, the sacrificial ceremony begins.

The sacrifice lit the best spices, walked slowly around the altar, recited the honorary title in his mouth, and invited every god worshipped by the murians to pay attention to it.

On the altar, there are also steles engraved with the names, images and emblems of each God, at least 20 of them large and small.

Among them.

The most noble are: all inclusive "God of the sky" and "father of the gods" Anu, whose image is a magnificent Triple Crown placed on the throne.

In all the myths and legends, the LORD God has never left the kingdom of heaven to come to earth. There is no doubt that he is a great God!

Under him are the three pillars of the highest status.

Enlier, the master of the wind and the king of the air, is not only the moist spring wind that moistens the growth of all things, but also the God 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" and "Lord of life" gather the power of the gods;

It's the great God who makes the gods reborn, the caster who makes the dead reborn, the wise man who knows everything, the protector of justice and law, the creator of all things, and the king of all kings

Inana, the God of love, blood and war, is one of the most beautiful gods with many admirers and followers.

There are also a large number of auxiliary gods: kibil, the God of fire riding on the Firebird, ADAD, the God of water riding on the bull holding a stone arrow in both hands, and malduk's descendants: ram and raham

Even the sacred fire used for sacrifice was a god named nusku.

Teng!

The flames are blazing, which means that the gods are willing to accept the sacrifice of mortals.

A group of white robed priests, after cleaning their hands, respectfully threw the sacrifices on the altar one by one into the sacred fire.

At the same time, he sang: "god fire nusku, without you, the temple can't hold a banquet; Without you, the great gods can't smell the fragrance... "

All kinds of high-quality sacrifices that even the king can't enjoy will turn into a cloud and enter the kingdom where the gods live.

But the sacrifice was so rich.

A group of priests worked together from dusk until the moon was high, and then they finished offering the last exquisite wine set made of gold.

Compared with the dry world under the "Tongtian tower", it's ironic.

Teng!

Immediately, the fire rose a few meters, representing that the gods were very satisfied with the sacrifice.

At the same time.

The most noble king in the world looked at the dry river bed under the tower, the withered seedlings, and the eager eyes of his subjects. He took a deep breath and suddenly crawled to the ground. The thorns pierced his forehead and didn't care.

Raise your hands high and shout:

"Gods in the sky, all human beings are constrained and controlled by the great gods. With our most loyal faith, we build towers, gardens and offer the most beautiful sacrifices for you

But countless sufferings still surround such a devout Muria people.

Between the two rivers, sometimes the river overflows, sometimes it suffers from drought, sometimes there are big storms, sometimes there are big thunderstorms, which turn the world into a swamp.

I! Nebuchadnezzar! On behalf of all mankind, please, God, open your eyes and show the benevolent side to mankind on the earth

Perhaps the gods who are enjoying sacrifices in the sky did not expect that there would be human kings who are so bold and dare to negotiate with the gods.

The whole world was quiet for a moment, even the air stopped flowing.

Then a thunderous sound reverberated over the whole city of Urumqi.

"Mortals have no right to negotiate with God.

People are created by gods. People are endowed with tiny life just to carry out the will of the gods in heaven in the world. You should worship, believe and support God!

All disasters are to temper your will, test your piety and shape your soul.

Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, it's a gift from God. You should accept it gladly, and then believe in God more devoutly, instead of bargaining with your father! "

Many citizens in the city have fallen to their knees in horror, begging for forgiveness.

"However, in the face of these rich tributes, I, Marduk, the Lord of life, can temporarily forgive your lies.

But! On the night of the next full moon, we must offer three times the sacrifice, or I will destroy Uruk and re select a God fearing and qualified king of mankind. "

However.

After hearing the ultimatum of divine punishment, Nebuchadnezzar, the bearded king of mankind, instead of keeping silent, stood up from the ground.

He threw the "crown" of thorns stained with blood on his head, lowered his eyes and said to himself:

"Maybe... I shouldn't have expected you..."

This action has been regarded as an inexorable evil to the gods.

It's the rebellion of mortals and the blasphemy of the authority of gods!

However, the gods who saw this scene in the sky were not angry, just amused.

It's like an ant wants to compare with human beings, whose strength is greater. In front of the insurmountable huge gap, it's like a joke that makes people laugh.

It's just a man who is beyond his capacity. Any God can easily crush him to death.

However, King Nebuchadnezzar's "Crazy" action is more than that.

Wow

He kicked down the stone tablet engraved with the holy name on the altar and looked up at the sky, word by word:

"Greedy God, from today on, the rules of the game have changed! The so-called God must serve people. If you are not obedient, as the king of all human beings, I don't mind... "

The king looked at the sky and spat out two deafening words:

"Wield a knife... Kill a god!"

The voice just dropped.

The king of Muria took over a "black cross halberd" hidden in the magic garden.

Hum!

His perfect muscles are as high as marble sculptures, and the majestic power in his body explodes.

Obviously, this is also a fourth-order [psychic] who relies on himself rather than God's power.

"Drink, I say... This halberd must hit!"

[spell like · speech spirit]

Whew!

A black light came out of his hand, like a poisonous dragon that picked up people to eat, but suddenly disappeared into the void.

"Ah

With a cry of pain from the air.

There are golden liquid like raindrops, where there are springs, flowers and fruits everywhere

However, it was not rain, but... Blood!

Woo woo

Just for a moment.

Suddenly there are dark clouds in the sky, which seem to collapse the sky.

Taking Tongtian tower as the center, the dark clouds suddenly split into two parts, and a sky overhead appeared like a figure composed of thunder and hurricane.

That's enril, the "king of air" of the three pillars.

Holding a lightning spear several kilometers long in his hand, he threw it down from the sky with burning anger.

Boom!!!

For a moment, the wind and cloud stood still, and all things sobbed.

A masterpiece of human beings, the towering Tongtian tower is easily cut into two pieces like straw, falling into the city.

Immediately.

Wind and stone sing together:

"The big city of Urumqi has fallen! It's toppling! It has become the dwelling place of demons, the prison of every unclean spirit, and the nest of every unclean and abominable bird. "

This is obviously the great power of Marduk, the "Lord of life", and also the unfortunate one among the gods who was wounded by mortals.

Then all the residents in Urumqi heard a beautiful female voice at the bottom of their heart

"Come out of that city, you people who are still faithful to me, so that you will not be guilty with it and suffer its calamity.

Urumqi how to honor themselves, how luxury, it should also be called as painful, sad!

Therefore, in one day, its calamities will come together: death, sorrow and famine. It will be burned up again, for the LORD God who judges it is powerful

Obviously, King Nebuchadnezzar had made preparations before today's ceremony, and today's sacrifice is also his last effort to seek peace.

The high [psychic] has sent out the citizens safely.

Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew! Whew

In the broken "Tongtian tower", the grasshopper like "flagellate" has already risen to the sky with a black cross halberd.

......

Dong!

Among the East-West "broken star islands" formed by tens of thousands of islands, Elvin named the "soul of the sea" on the East No.2 archipelago, a group of four people jumped down and quietly landed.

It also dispels the fog of war on this large island.

"According to the number of people in the [witchcraft garden · uluk Temple], there are about 35 million people in the Muria civilization.

According to records, the power of this inheritor of civilization comes from nature, and his people also have the ability to communicate with nature.

They revere the gods, believe in the animism of all things, and have gods in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation. What we should see in the secret place is what happened... "

Jeros, who knows the destination best, is still explaining the general situation of this civilization to his peers.

All of a sudden.

Boom!

A huge figure, nearly 10 meters tall, fell from the sky and landed on the ground in front of them, splashing jeros's blood.

Then, centered on it, a billowing River "grows" out of the earth, which is the power of a demigod.

Elvin and his party raised their heads and looked at the sky in the fierce battle, their mouths slowly opening

"This is the beginning of the battle of the gods?"
