I Like This Dream! - v2 Chapter 148
Apocalypse, or Revelation, is so famous that ordinary people who don’t believe in religion have heard of it. Anxu knows this because of a game that uses religious elements.
The four horsemen of the apocalypse slaughtered everywhere, the seven angels blew the horns of the end, the lamb opened the seven seals of the book of the end, the final battle between heaven and hell… Remove these ritual-like religious symbols, the essence of the apocalypse is very simple and clear. Not judgment, not the end, but the birth of the kingdom of God after all this death and destruction.
The people in the story keep repeating that the kingdoms of the world will henceforth become the kingdoms of God. God will reign forever and ever. Noah once repeated the lines in Revelation to Anshu, he said: I am Alpha, I am Omega, I am the first, I am the last, I am the beginning, I am the end.
His ambition is clear at a glance.
“We coincidentally.” Noah said with a half-smile, “It’s surprising that you are still alive.”
“Don’t bother. Besides, who wants to coincide with you.” An Xu smirked back, “Isn’t it easy to guess that you are a religious fanatic with a performance personality.”
Recognition works both ways.
They read each other’s spiritual bodies at the same time, and even if they didn’t go deep into the core, they could make basic profiles of each other. When Noah revealed Anxu’s greatest fear, Anxu could also understand what kind of person Noah was.
Since this religious fanatic with a strong desire for performance regards the Bible as the truth of the so-called last era and believes in prophecy so much, when he thinks of an event related to “bloodbath” and “conferring the gods”, he cannot let go of the New Testament. The Last Judgment Chapter of the Bible. Noah is this kind of person. He will emulate the so-called prophecy, pay tribute to it, and substitute himself into these scriptures and languages as the protagonist and the role of the last beneficiary. If you don’t think about how terrible he has done for this Noah is just an egomaniac intoxicated in his role-playing game.
From a certain point of view, he is indeed similar to An Xu who thought he was dreaming before. In this world where spirits can distort reality, perhaps only people like them who live in their own delusions have a strong consciousness to change reality.
Noah’s cloudy complexion stabilized after a moment, and he suddenly smiled.
“I understand.” He looked at An Xu clearly. “You will appear in front of me again, this is the arrangement of fate.”
An Xu sneered.
“The Antichrist must be defeated before the true God can rule the world.” Noah said, looking An Xu up and down, “Thank you, Anna, there is no one more worthy of this title than you.”
A demigod with black hair and black eyes, and a path blocker with silver hair and eyes.
Noah’s smile widened, and he even felt a long-lost excitement—when was the last time he felt this way? Twenties? Teens? Maybe it was the first time I realized that I was carrying a different fate. He felt that everything was back on track at this time. The appearance of Anna was not accidental, but inevitable, just like every prophecy would eventually come true. He finally stood at the node of fate, the eve of the epic.
“Although I don’t plan to live according to anyone’s script, I think it’s a good idea for only one side to survive.” An Xu shrugged, “You die, I live.”
“Where does your confidence come from?” Noah laughed and said, “With that… the so-called wooden barn of Longinus?”
For the first time after An Xu played, Noah turned his attention back to Chris. What Chris held in his hand was still just a long wooden barn made of steel. The blood-red barn body was just an illusion, just like the penetrated sheep was just an illusion.
How to break the self-world of paranoia? It can make paranoia see the reality, just like Noah did, breaking Anxu’s self-deception with pain. But for an impeccable fanatic like Noah (who fanatically believes in his own believers), a stubborn person who knows the truth of the world but still doesn’t care in his heart, this trick doesn’t work. So there is only one way left—
Follow the set of world rules in Noah’s heart, and treat him in his own way.
The barn of Longinus, the barn where **** Christ was impaled in the legend. It pierced the Saviour’s side, and made him shed blood, and because of the baptism of this divine blood, he was invincible. This is the Wooden Barn of Destiny in the Bible, the Wooden Barn of Killing God, as long as its shape is simulated, no, as long as the name hints, Noah himself will add special effects to it.
As long as he believes.
“I almost believed it.” Noah shook his head, as if feeling sorry for An Xu, “But what’s the point of using it in ‘My World’?”
“I interrupted your illusion, the end of judgment is over.” An Xu said.
“It’s ‘interrupted’, I still have a lot of time.” Noah replied, “And…”
The moonlight cast a strange shadow on his face, he said: “Do you think this is reality?”
Suddenly the hymns resounded from all directions, and the sky was filled with brilliance, and the night was like day in this radiance. Numerous angels held various musical instruments with joy on their faces.
Like the Sanskrit sounds in a mass grave, like the laughter of clowns in an abandoned playground at midnight, these supposedly sacred characters suddenly appear in the night sky, but they have a creepy sense of evil. When they sang the praises of God together, fire fell from heaven.
Anshu and Chris retreated to both sides, and the place where they were standing just now was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye. An Xu raised his head, and the second wave of flames churned in the sky, falling down without any connection with the previous burst of fire. There are still hundreds of meters away from the ground, and the burning sensation of being close to the high temperature has already hit the face. An Xu stood in the distance without flashing too much, she raised her hand upwards, spread her five fingers, and countless bolts of lightning shot up from the ground.
The electric dragons as thick as the pillars of the cathedral roared and hit the sky from the ground. The grid they woven caught the falling sky fire, and even the momentum remained undiminished, encircling the flames and smashing the sky. The arc and the flame entangled into a deadly net covering the world, like a fire tornado rising with flames, sweeping across the sky of dissatisfied angels in an instant. In an instant, the band with wings disappeared. They turned into streaks of white light and disappeared into the purgatory in the sky. With just a few seconds of difference, the sky that had been filled with dense dots just now was emptied again.
Except for Noah, he was motionless and unhurt.
“It’s useless,” he said.
“Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know.” An Xu replied.
Before An Xu finished speaking, the shadow had already fallen on Noah’s back. Chris, who was separated from the other side by the flames, blended into the shadows under the cover of Anxu’s massive attack. He bullied himself in the gap between thunder and fire, like a giant chasing stars in legends. When Anxu spoke, Chris was only one step away from Noah.
His long wooden barn broke through the air, and it was all wrapped in the “isolation layer” made by the knight, as invisible as Chris himself. The terrible speed of tearing the air did not make a sound, until the moment before it pierced into Noah’s body, the light from the wooden barn head flashed away, like a meteor flashing away in the night.
However, the long wooden warehouse failed to hit Noah, and it stopped within a short distance from the priest.
Noah didn’t look back, he seemed to have eyes behind his back, and his fingers stretched back easily grabbed the head of the wooden warehouse. Chris exerted force under his hands, and the long wooden bin that had been blessed by his strength was bent under the huge force, but the two slender fingers that grasped the tip of the wooden bin were only lightly squeezed, and the long wooden bin could not move forward half an inch.
“You guys tried it last time,” Noah said.
The next moment he let go of his hand, the knight’s body did not advance but retreated, and suddenly flew backwards. The long wooden warehouse broke into several pieces, and Chris felt as if he had been punched, and the whole person fell heavily from the air and hit the ground hard. It was like a meteor falling to the ground. The shock wave knocked the surrounding buildings to the ground. A large hole with a diameter of tens of meters was cracked in the stone-paved ground, causing a small-scale earthquake.
“Even if there is an unexpected variable, what’s the use?” Noah smiled lowly, “Do you want to make me bleed on a full moon night, or kill the world lord in my world?”
An Xu didn’t speak, she answered with something else. When she closed her open palms, the clouds in the sky seemed to be tightly held by giant hands. With a radius of hundreds of miles, a radius of thousands of miles, the high altitudes with a radius of thousands of miles are distorted. The drastic changes in space are invisible to the naked eye, only the clouds are smashed, and the birds are squeezed into pieces without a sound. There was a slight fluctuation around Noah, and the fluctuation disappeared in an instant.
“Don’t be too whimsical.” The priest in midair stretched out his hand, “In this world, I am the only true God.”
He has a bowl in his hand.
Noah’s palm was reversed, and the bowl overturned, and the indescribable contents poured out continuously, like a torrential rain. At some point, the people on the ground woke up. They looked up at the sky. Those who did not believe in the old church and Noah had sores on their heads.
At the same time, the rivers, lakes, and seas where this rain fell turned bright red, like the blood of a dead man, and all living things in the water died. The rain fell on the full moon, and the scorching light came out, which was more scorching than the summer sun. Lightning, loud bangs, lightning strikes, and major earthquakes revived again, creating disasters in turn, and valleys and islands lost their traces in the shock. Huge hailstones fell everywhere. These disasters did not affect each other, and each harvested life on the ground.
Everything is like the seven bowls poured out by the seven angels in Revelation, and at the same time, this rain will fall on the silver-haired and silver-eyed Antichrist, because the “prophecy” says that this angry wine will burn the seat of the enemy of God, the enemy of God The kingdom of the kingdom will be darkened, and people will bite their tongues out of pain. The city of Duke Anna will be split into three parts, and any city that dares to ally with her will also collapse.
But Apocalypse got stuck at this step.
“Whimsical?” An Xu said, “Say such outrageous words to fools who really think you are a god.”
The bright red water faded and turned into pink, that puffy color was like the blush used by a boudoir omega. This color circled around the water surface, turned into countless pink flamingos, and flew away fluttering, leaving behind clear rivers, lakes and seas. The full moon was as hot as a big sun, but there was a burst of weird music with a strong rhythm around it. This red moon turned around, and it was actually wearing a pair of huge sunglasses, forming a ridiculous face. Whistle—whistle? ! Lightning began to light up, loud bangs, lightning strikes, earthquakes, and even the sound of hail falling into a cheerful rock music. The rhythm goes in and out, which is quite like some realistic and magical music games.
Of course, Noah, a die-hard fan of religious music, seemed completely unable to appreciate this kind of modern music.
His face was so dark that it was dripping, and the world that had grown too noisy shattered.
Anshu laughed out loud.
Noah has become quite powerful, he can pull people into the illusion without many hints, and let the illusion develop in the direction he expected. Noah is also very smart. He even took advantage of An Xu’s understanding of him, and quietly mixed his desire to perform with hints of guiding direction. Their seemingly nonsense conversation was actually a confrontation with hidden murderous intentions. What Noah said, as long as you believe a little bit, his absurd declaration will truly become a reality.
What you believe is true, and the spiritual realm is a completely idealistic world. As soon as An Xu used the fact that they all knew the old Bible to trick Noah, Noah tried to use this anti-general. He wanted to borrow the unbreakable sense of Apocalypse to bring An Xu into the game.
But Noah made a mistake. He also knew the old Bible’s Ansyria, and he didn’t take the book of Revelation seriously at all.
An atheist who knows the apocalypse from a game that draws on religious allusions, how much do you expect her to be in awe of the doomsday judgment?
The doomsday atmosphere that has been painstakingly created is gone, and Noah has no choice but to dispel the illusion and start again, unless he is willing to become a **** in the rhythm of country rock music and square dance-this kind of music that advocates religious aesthetics. Perfectionism, there is a ghost if you can do it.
“Wasting time.” Noah said, “Do you really think that my power can only be achieved in the illusion? Go ahead, maybe the next time you stop attacking, you will find that the people below really died because of you.”
“Speak as if you didn’t mean to kill them.”
“I will not kill my believers, but let them live happily ever after in my glorious kingdom.” Noah narrowed his eyes, “And you will only bring them an unfortunate death.”
An Xu didn’t laugh at the words that confuse black and white, because some people can’t understand, and don’t need to understand. She just blinked and changed the subject suddenly.
“Are you ready?” she said, “Mr. Noah, who is procrastinating for time again?”
Noah opened his mouth, but was interrupted by An Xu. She didn’t wait for Noah to speak at all, and just said: “It doesn’t matter. Anyway… you should take medicine when you are sick.”
Noah opened his eyes.
He saw a white light, not a lamp, but like the light he created, which could dispel the darkness and illuminate the room with closed windows brilliantly. In this brilliant white light, he saw a light blond haired… holy man?
“You need to take medicine when you are sick.” The “Holy Man” sighed, and said to the person on the bed next to Noah, “How do you feel now?”
“Bold! How dare you treat me like this?!” The old man scolded, and after a closer look, it was Randolph III who should have died. “I am the pope of Yamenan!”
“Okay, okay.” The “holy man” prevaricated, muttering in a low voice, “It’s getting worse again, and sure enough the medicine can’t be stopped.”
Randolph III wears a strange dress with many straps and long sleeves fastening his hands behind his back.
Noah lowered his head, he was wearing exactly the same clothes.
