Almighty Alchemist - v5 Chapter 37
After hearing the story of Bathgate’s fall, Xiu Yi could not help but sigh.
The bizarre incident has gone far beyond his imagination. The severe injuries of the black warrior and the disappearance of Simone’s soul have no significant connection with Shen of the western continent thousands of years ago. What about himself?
What is the status of your own existence, this fate that has happened and has not yet happened?
he does not know?
He could only look at Galadia in front of him.
Galadia’s expression was very calm at this moment, apparently she had calmed down from her previous excitement.
Xiu doesn’t even know if the other party’s soul is Galadia or Electra’s soul at the moment.
“So, in fact, the beginning and end of this matter was actually caused by Simone, and only you and Simone saw all the truth. So why is Simone not in your body now?”
Galadia replied: “After completing the Immortal Coffin, Bathgate put me into the ocean floor and put me into a permanent sleep. Although I lost my freedom, I also escaped the disaster caused by the sinking of the continent. I slept on the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, and no one ever found me, until one day, the Immortal Coffin suddenly rose up and left the water … I don’t know what kind of power it was, maybe because of Bath Gate’s imprisonment led to the weakening of his divine power, perhaps because of some unknown mysterious change on the sea floor, or this is the arrangement of destiny. In short, the immortal coffin escaped from the imprisonment and floated on the sea like that. Gone, all the way to the land … “
Galadia’s eyes were full of confusion, and she was clearly remembering the past that had happened. As a result, her voice seemed far-reaching and deep, and with her explanation, Xiu Yi’s mind also showed a flexible picture.
It was 700 years after Galadia returned to the world.
East, South, and North continents, human beings have multiplied and prospered, and are reappearing the former glory.
Human beings are like stubborn weeds. No matter where they go, they can survive and develop stubbornly.
In the original stage, they were actually the creators of world civilization, but with the development of civilization, they will become the terminator of world civilization.
They are like cancer cells in the human body. They cannot exist without spreading.
When Galadia came, human society had begun to enter a glorious period, the magical civilization reappeared, and it was not necessary to go slower than the previous world.
They even have more unique inventions in the field of alchemy, and the damage to resources is even more serious.
When the waves sent Galadia to the beach, the Immortal Coffin was found by fishermen in a remote small fishing village.
People were surprised to find that in this snow-colored transparent ice coffin, a beautiful woman to suffocate was lying.
She slept so peacefully and so quietly that she could no longer look away at first glance.
Despite being in a coffin, her face was so vivid that she was fascinated by countless people.
The foolish fishermen thought that this was a gift from heaven, and enshrined the immortal coffin and Galadia as gods.
As time passed, Galadia’s existence gradually became a legend of goddess of fate, and consequently, belief gradually established.
See, sometimes things are so simple.
The prototype of the Scourge Church actually developed from this small fishing village.
It was just that the people at that time were simply beliefs and no systematic doctrines, until one day Galadia woke up.
Galadia herself did not know why she woke up for any reason, everything was so natural and simple, and nothing happened at all logically.
She woke up like this, walked out of the immortal coffin, and saw countless people kneeling in front of her to worship the zenith. At this time, the Immortal Coffin has been in this area for decades, and its followers have automatically developed to the nearby towns.
There are tens of thousands of believers who treat her daily as a goddess of fate that will bring happiness.
The awakening of the goddess is exciting for everyone.
However, Galadia does not know how long she has been asleep, and the concept of time is also very vague here. The former Western continent did not play any role in the new continent. Galadia could not find a measure of the past and the present. A time scale ruler, so there is no way to know your environment.
But the kind Simone firmly remembered a word that Bathgate had said: He is going to die!
The problem arises. Simone tells her followers that evil is on the way and humans need to prepare early.
This is a very horrible prophecy, and it was even opposed by countless believers in its spring. Some people even believe that Simone is a goddess of disaster that brings a terrible fate, and her faith is shaken.
At the same time, Simone was helpless to find that, because Bathgate was too powerful, she could not leave the range of the Immortal Coffin ten meters away.
She couldn’t even stay outside the coffin for a long time, and would return to the coffin to sleep every time.
This also means that when Simone wakes up, it is impossible to protect and take care of herself with her own strength.
She needs the help of believers so that she can survive.
But the skepticism and hatred of her believers made this problem tricky.
Fortunately, Galadia, who has not completed the integration with Simone, is an absolute expert on this issue. As a priestess of the laurels of the temple, she knows human nature very well, very well what they want and fear.
She taught Simone that for the guidance of believers, dual means of threat and temptation should be adopted. Throwing out the words of the end of the day will only scare the poor people, but if you add a suffix to this question: as long as you are religious, you can get redemption, then the problem can be solved soon.
Then, with Galadia’s help, Simone gradually understood what she should do. She began to establish doctrine, as Galadia had said, to preach resistance to the last days. At that time, Simone and Galadia had no plans to fight the natural disaster at all.
They just want to make up for the mistakes that have been made to ensure that they are not harmed as a result.
But soon, a sudden incident pushed the Church of Doomsday to the cusp of time and space. A door of time and space suddenly appeared in the fishing village.
At the same time when the gate of time and space appeared, it also brought a small number of abyss demons.
These terrible guys rushed into the fishing village, killing people when they saw them, bloodthirsty.
Galadia was forced to shoot in this situation. She is a seventh-level ice and snow mage, and the eternal enchantment formed by the immortal coffin. As long as she is in this enchantment, she does not need to worry about being attacked by anyone, because no one can harm her in the enchantment.
She easily killed all the abyss demons.
The incident has undergone a qualitative change. More and more people are beginning to believe that the doomsday is coming. The doomsday sect has grown like a snowball in a reputation for the goddess of destiny. Simone’s long sleep and occasional resuscitation kept God’s mystery intact. Galadia’s professional knowledge of the magic stick is perfect for this purpose. Using the fanaticism of the believers, while developing the church, the existence of the immortal coffin is indicated as a secret, allowing only a small number of high-level believers to know the existence.
As the laurel maiden of the western continent, Galadia, although not as knowledgeable as Elder Kripwell, also has a wealth of magical knowledge. She gave some advanced believers magical knowledge, making them their most loyal guardians.
Galadia was able to sleep peacefully in the immortal coffin, waiting for the opportunity of freedom to come.
Time just passed every year.
The doomsday sect has experienced a rapid rise, suppression, war, decline, and re-emergence, and a series of inevitable experiences for the existence of all churches. Galadia also gradually understood the changes in the world in this long-term development and struggle.
She finally knew that she was no longer in the West.
The so-called doomsday has already arrived.
Of course, Galadia doesn’t tell this fact. Now that the doomsday sect has been established on this basis, it is no longer possible to easily change the teachings.
Fortunately, the gate of time and space has once again appeared.
The demons of the abyss have brought panic at the same time, but also brought good opportunities for the development of doomsday sects.
Galadia implied that Simone decisively shot, destroyed the demons, spread the doomsday theory, and the doomsday sect rose to the full potential.
Galadia even smartly thought of the use of the sunset maiden figure to spread her reputation. Bard, Alec; Doltely is actually a member of the Doomsday sect. He was under the instruction of Galadia to draw a cottage version of the sunset maiden, preaching the theory of the maiden’s salvation. This is Galadia’s preparation for her future freedom. To be honest, this woman does have considerable ambitions. Simone became helpless because she was no longer naive as before, knowing that on the road to religion and power, she would retreat if she did not advance. Once the secrets of the Virgins are discovered, waiting for them can be very terrible consequences.
“Can anyone think that this is the second shot, but it has caused the accident now …” Galadia sighed helplessly.
Xiu was very sensitive to realize that this may be related to Electra.
From the time analysis, the second small-scale abyss invasion actually happened after Electra became famous. In other words, at that time, Electra had commanded his Golem Regiment and Death Legion in the abyss to fight for life and death.
“The gate of time and space at that time, I’m afraid it was not the natural result driven by the power of the world?” Xiuyi asked carefully.
Galadia gave him an admiring look. In the next moment, it was clear from the tone that Electra’s soul was leading the conversation: “Yes, that is not a natural consequence, but that I am in the Death Corps. The attack was in a difficult position, and I realized that I had to return to the human world and develop it into a logistics base provided by my army. I was sent back to the Fengming continent by other people. At that time, the fighting was fierce and we had no time. Come back through the portal on Purgatory Island, so you can only use the alchemy method to directly create an artificial portal of time and space. You are the inventor of the teleportation matrix. You know that it is theoretically the same as the teleportation matrix. The difference is It’s just strength. “
“Yes, I know, so this time and space are only open, not a small-scale abyss demon invasion, but rather a large-scale demon hunting and returning Lord Electra?”
“That’s right … I met Galadia in that situation. Do you know how shocked I was when I saw Galadia at first glance? You know I’m a soul mage, then No one knows the secrets of the soul better than the soul mage. I can see at a glance that there are two completely different souls in her body. At the same time, I am still a sanctuary, and I have a strong sense of the existence of all realms. , I found a strong realm of breath on the immortal coffin. I have never seen that breath … “
“then……”
“So I made a big mistake. After we joined forces to destroy the abyss demons that came from the hunt, I had a short conversation with Simone. Do you know what the alchemist’s biggest problem is? Curiosity. Curiosity is the source of our exploration of the unknown world, and the foundation of everything we do. I ca n’t understand the existence of Galadia, I am eager to understand it. Simone dreams of leaving this body and returning to her beloved By the side of the man … so we made a deal. “
“A deal?”
“Yes.” Electra’s beautiful face showed the expression of the old man: “I help her transfer her soul and give her a free body, but she must let me use this body now, okay Let me study and understand. “
“You’re a lunatic!” Xiu said with a stunned voice. “You want to be a woman?”
“A huge sacrifice in return for a great achievement, Hugh Igle, don’t you understand this? Dedicating yourself to alchemy isn’t exactly what I’ve been doing? I can make countless more of myself, and why It ’s impossible to try to understand how it feels to be a woman? ”Electra did n’t care about it:“ In fact, I never regretted my decision to return, but I did n’t expect such behavior to bring serious consequences. Consequences … I can never leave again. “
“why?”
“Because Galadia. When I negotiated with Simone, Galadia did not exist. Although Simone did not integrate Galadia’s soul, she still dominated. Galadia She has never had the chance to control her body. She can only be a spectator of this world and she can never be a participant. Everything she does can only be done by Simone. If Simone does not agree, she will There is no way. Simone is a simple girl, she did not think about Galadia’s feelings in this transaction, and for Galadia, this is her best chance to regain her body, So she was dormant, she waited … and my trouble appeared. “
Electra sighed: “According to the agreement, I will first transfer Simone’s soul out. This is not too difficult for me. Then I will put my soul into Galadia’s body, in Splitting there, and then returning half of it back to my own body. Splitting the soul is a fairly complicated and dangerous process, and I must be very careful to complete it. I used to find some dying people whose souls were dissipating to do this. In this work, their soul energy is not strong, so I have never encountered resistance. But this time is different. Entering a body with two souls is the first time in my life. I did n’t think of Galadia ’s soul. I suddenly launched a counterattack when I was most vulnerable … “
Xiu Yi has fully understood what will happen next.
He said: “I guess … your two souls fought a battle in Galadia’s body. Although you are a sanctuary, you cannot exert the power of the sanctuary in terms of soul. Splitting the soul is even more Makes you weak. So you didn’t win. “
“Yes, in fact, the half of my soul that I split up made her wipe out … this vicious woman.” Electra sighed helplessly: “Fortunately, I finally managed to survive. That’s it, my The body is dead, and I can only live in this body of Galadia. That was originally what I sought, but as we know, this body has become a trap. I can only enter but not Out. I can’t control Galadia’s soul and I can’t split again. “
“And because of the Immortal Coffin, this body cannot be free. So Galadia became a prisoner of the Immortal Coffin, and you, the great Electra, became a prisoner of this body?” Xiu Yi had to admire the bizarre developments of the world.
“indeed so.”
Finally understand, but there are still some questions Xiu needs to understand: “So what is Simone? Where is her soul?”
“Picture of the Virgin of the Sun, I placed her soul in the picture of the Virgin of the Sun. The picture of the Virgin of the Sun painted by Bathgate for Simone is a very interesting alchemy work. Bathgate’s He has limited understanding of alchemy. He doesn’t know that it is actually a soul container. Unlike the ordinary soul container, you must first take a picture of this soul before you can place it. I guess invented this picture Like me, he is also studying the secret of soul transfer, but his technology is obviously not enough. It cannot be directly transferred, only temporary storage. “
“Temporary storage?”
“Yes.” Electra nodded surely. “Simonie’s soul can’t stay in that map for too long. I don’t know how long. But for the promises I made, I don’t want to kill this. Poor little girl, so I put the picture in a place with a strong magic. There can ensure that the picture of the sunset maiden always works, so that Simone ’s soul will not dissipate because of nothing. “
“Where did you put it?” Xiuyi asked urgently.
Electra spread his hands: “Sorry, I don’t remember.”
“What did you say?” Xiu Yi was startled.
“It’s true, Hugh Igle. I don’t remember. Maybe you don’t believe it, but in fact I am just the soul of an ordinary old man who has memories of past events. My knowledge of alchemy, I do n’t remember any of my follow-up actions. “
“Why?” Shouted Yi.
“It’s about you, Xiuyi.” Electra slowly said, “After finding myself a prisoner of a body, in order to get rid of all this. I made a very risky attempt.”
“I went to the Alchemy Tower. I made a huge astronomical star map with fantasy crystals and pure energy bodies. I left most of my knowledge and memory there to build a complete world of pure energy bodies. Because I need these little things to help me do one thing. “
Xiu’s voice trembled slightly: “What’s the matter?”
He suddenly had a very bad feeling.
He looked at Xiu Yi and said word by word, “Based on the entire universe, searching for all possible souls, trying to make a perfect fusion of the two souls.”
This sentence made Xiu Yi like falling ice cave.
Electra’s voice with infinite sympathy: “Yes, Xiuyi. Do you understand that? That person is you. Your existence … is my work, a work invented for me to escape from this cage . I’m waiting for your arrival, it’s been too long, too long. “! ~!
