The bloody sky began to slowly fall, and the world was being squeezed by an invisible force.

Above the sky, the crimson clouds were like torn curtains, revealing two burning fissures.

In the crack, huge crosses slowly descended from the sky with endless pressure. Their size was large enough to cover the entire sky, and the light and shadow intertwined into a picture of glory and oppression.

These two crosses, like the final tools from the Last Judgment, pierce the earth with irresistible power.

bite--

bite--

Xia Xiu and Bo Defei II were unable to resist. Their bodies were lifted up by invisible forces, and then they were heavily bound to the cross.

The beams of the cross were like shackles of fate, fastening their arms tightly.

Qiang——

Qiang——

Then, the nail of judgment penetrated both of their wrists.

The two stand opposite each other, forming a sharp contrast.

At the left end, the fourth sword-bearer in heaven is like a perfect righteous man, with a calm and solemn expression on his face, exuding brilliance as bright as the sun.

His face is even more brilliant than the sun, like an angel's appearance, but he also carries a compassionate humanity.

This kind of humanity makes his image more three-dimensional and real, like a being with dual qualities of both an angel and a mortal.

On the right end, the image of Bodefei II is completely different.

His body exudes endless determination and huge murderous intent, and there are six fingers on each of his left and right hands, which seems to indicate that he has a different fate from ordinary people.

What's even more terrifying is that a painful Wendigo face emerged from his chest.

The ferocious face of the Wendigo was full of pain and despair. It was constantly tearing and struggling out of Bodefei II's body, as if it was trying to get rid of the shackles of this body.

The Wendigo's hands tightly covered the huge antlers on its head, its expression twisted, as if it was suffering unbearable pain.

The antlers were like a twisted symbol of fate, emitting a strange light, making the whole scene even more bizarre and paradoxical.

In this solemn and magnificent scene, Thoth, the god of wisdom and records, stands next to the scales, overlooking everything.

His ibis head was raised high, his white robes fluttered gently in the invisible wind, and the reed pen in his hand hung lightly on the unfolded scroll.

Hieroglyphs gradually appeared on the scroll, each symbol carrying ancient mysterious power, recording this judgment in the universe.

[Matt], the embodiment of truth and justice, stands at the other end of the scale. Her figure is like an eternal statue, quiet and majestic.

The feather in her hand symbolizes balance in the world and is placed lightly on one side of the scales.

The feathers seemed to carry the truth and justice of the entire universe, shining with a faint golden light.

The "heart" of the person being judged is placed in the scale tray on the other side. The heart beats slowly and emits a dark red light, as if it is telling sin and regret.

The beams of the golden scale are straight and steady, symbolizing the order of the world.

The breath of the entire world seems to flow with it, and the pendulum of fate slowly swings in the balance of the scales, determining the final outcome of the two souls.

At the moment when the scales began to balance, both the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven and Bode Fei II fell into the judgment of fate.

The two ends of the scale move slowly, symbolizing that the balance between justice and evil is taking shape.

And in this silence, the expression of Bodefei II, who was nailed to the right, suddenly changed.

His face, which was originally full of pain and distortion, seemed unusually calm at this moment, just like the sea regaining its tranquility after a storm.

His eyes no longer showed anger or resentment, but looked surprisingly calm.

Bade Fei II stared at the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven across from him.

His eyes met Xia Xiu's pupils directly.

Those eyes reflected each other's fate and the final moment of judgment, as if the fight between them was no longer important, what was important was the upcoming result.

In this silence, Bodefei II had already accepted everything that was coming, and he was already prepared to face the worst...death at the hands of the real candidate for the inner palace ahead.

His heartbeat gradually stabilized, his breathing became even, and there was a hint of cold sadness in his eyes, as well as a hint of indescribable... dissatisfaction.

That is dissatisfaction with fate.

He spoke in a low voice, and his voice seemed to come from the abyss. It was so calm that it was almost cold, but it also carried a majesty that could not be ignored.

"Hugh Abraham, I'm waiting for you at the border." His voice was neither urgent nor slow, but it was like a hammer hitting the air. "This miracle is from Ion, from the twins who stand on Terra.

Peeped through the door."

"How honored you are to be able to witness this miraculous blueprint..." His tone of voice was so calm that it was eerie, as if he was already in another world.

There - destiny has been woven, and the ending has been written.

"At that time, you will know what a stupid thing you have done. You have blocked the path that human beings should take to ascend!!"

"I have always heard about your deeds. You are no different from those careerists in the past, wearing the mask of a hypocritical savior. You make me feel sick!!!"

Standing opposite each other, now we can only live with each other's mouth.

When the voice of Bade Fei II gradually disappeared in the air, Xia Xiu raised his head and looked at the enemy who was crucified.

"Always."

Despite his appearance and body, Xia Xiu rarely showed a hint of fatigue deep in his eyes.

The enemy in front of him is the most powerful opponent he has faced so far.

The founder of the Awakening of the Inner Temple not only brought him an unprecedented sense of oppression in terms of power.

Although on the surface he looks intact and seems to be coping with everything calmly, in fact, this is just an appearance, an illusion maintained under extreme conditions.

However, Xia Xiu remained calm as always at this moment. Facing Fei II's provocation and confidence, he did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

"What do you mean?" There was a hint of displeasure in Bode Fei II's voice, and the look on his face that looked down upon everything made him feel extremely unhappy.

He hated the other person's arrogant face and the look in his eyes that seemed to look down on all living beings.

"You always go out of your way to create difficulties for me, my colleagues, and my colleagues, and you are always so righteous. In fact, I don't have too much moral criticism for this. I have been able to reach this position on this road.

People always have extraordinary qualities, outstanding goals, and unabashed ambition."

Fei II sneered, and the corner of his mouth raised a hint of contempt, but Xia Xiu's voice remained steady.

"So, everything you do seems too natural. The road to a high position is full of hardships. People often find themselves promoted to a position that requires more pain after experiencing all the pain.

.”

Xia Xiu paused for a moment, and his gaze became deeper and deeper. He seemed to see the struggle and confusion of countless souls chasing their dreams.

"Things that are too wild and ambitions that are too straightforward always require self-certification. However, for those who are on the road to transcendence in pursuit of their own goals and will, self-certification is the most ridiculous thing.

—So, we just have to do it because it’s what we’re supposed to do.”

"Sometimes I often feel, or others often feel it, they always say to me - you lack a quality that people should have, it is not a lack of humanity, but a lack of 'humanity'. You are like a pursuit

It is a machine with a target, not the 'last man' trapped in the eternal cycle and wandering like them."

"People in the world are keen on wandering and changing, and believe that adhering to a belief is a bondage imposed on themselves. Whether in thought or action, they all love free will. However, they lack a certain virtue.

, lacks a certain nature.”

His eyes gradually condensed, staring at Bade Fei II, as if he wanted to penetrate the other person's soul:

"Human nature is often hidden and can be suppressed for a while, but rarely can it be completely annihilated. Suppressing nature will often make it more intense after it is freed from restraint. Teaching and persuasion will only moderate human nature. Only by

Only long-term habits can change and constrain human nature."

"My enemies, as is always the case, retain their own ideas and nature - they have the instinct to destroy an old morality and old values."

"You think you are pursuing a new order and new power, but you have to understand one thing. To see clearly who you really are, you must have some awareness and rise to the top - only from there can you overlook the beauty of life.

The whole picture.”

There was a trace of boredom in Bodefei II's eyes, and he felt that something in his heart was dissatisfied with the words of the angel in front of him.

Xia Xiu's words seemed to be revealing some unspeakable truth deep in his heart, making him feel extremely repulsed.

"Those who claim to be enlightened people, have their souls really been reshaped?" Xia Xiu's voice is still calm, but it has become sharper, "Or are they just putting on new ones for the old shackles?

Coat? True enlightenment is a rebellion against the old world, a denial of all old morality, and a direct look into the abyss of the self. It makes you question everything, doubt everything, and ultimately makes you a new creator."

"I always see my reflection in you, but you make me feel disgusted."

"Later I understood something and saw a problem."

"Destroy old morality and create new morality; destroy old values ​​and create new values ​​- not being satisfied with the existing virtues, but pursuing a higher level of existence, this is my virtue."

Xia Xiu's tone suddenly turned heavy and serious, and his eyes were fixed on the face of Bade Fei II, whose eyes seemed to pierce the opponent's defense.

"But you are different. Destruction is a necessary step towards creation, but destruction itself is not the ultimate goal."

"Only by destroying old, decaying value systems can humanity make room for new, higher values."
