Eternal Night

Chapter 112 The deepest part
The man's name is Charlotte. According to him, he is a member of the Witch Hall of the Vatican's Demon Hunters and one of the participants in the Vatican's Castlevania strategy this time.

"...There are eleven people in our group, and so far there are only two of us left." Charlotte said frankly. There was not even a trace of sadness on his face. He took out two cigarettes from his arms, threw one to Wu Xianxiao, and lit one for himself.

Wu Xianxiao borrowed Charlotte's lighter and lit a cigarette. He asked, "Why do you roll your own cigarettes?"

Charlotte laughed and said, "It's good to have it. Although there are all kinds of things in Demon City, cigarettes are something that only appeared after the 19th century. It's too difficult to get cigarettes from people in the future. On the contrary, you can still find some tobacco."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned. He asked curiously, "What era are you from?"

Charlotte said, "I entered Demon City in the year 1366."

Wu Xianxiao was really surprised, because from the way he was dressed, to the way he smoked, to the way he held a lighter, he didn't look like someone from medieval Europe at all.

Charlotte said helplessly: "Because of the End Titan, the information of the future was transmitted to the past through the Sea of ​​Spirits. I could have been a mercenary, but I had to come to this Demon Castle and fight for my life..."

Wu Xianxiao was really confused, so he asked again, "Wait a minute, didn't you say you were from the Witch Hunter Hall? How can you be considered a mercenary? You're paid by the government, so you're a civil servant, right?"

Charlotte was stunned for a long while before he understood what civil servants meant. He immediately burst into laughter and got a stitch in the side. He had a cigarette in his mouth, so he coughed for a long time.

Charlotte said disdainfully: "Outside the Demon City, the people in the village are the civil servants of the Holy See. People like us who are climbing the holy name should actually be called mercenaries, thugs, black gloves, cannon fodder, etc. Unless you can climb to the holy name of the saint level, don't even think about the Holy See looking at you."

Seeing that Wu Xianxiao didn't seem to understand, and thinking that Wu Xianxiao was not a member of the Church, he smiled and said, "There are eleven paths in the so-called Holy Name Climb, which are the Four Seraphs and the Seven Demon Kings. They are the Four Virtues of Love, Protection, Courage, and Sacrifice, and the Seven Original Sins of Pride, Envy, Sloth, Greed, Wrath, Gluttony, and Lust."

"With the intellect represented by the path you are on as the foundation, resonate with the sea of ​​spirituality, gradually condense your own transcendence, sublimate your soul, and be crowned with the holy names represented by angels and demons of various levels. This is climbing the holy name."

Wu Xianxiao nodded, but it was just something he had heard of.

At this moment he and Charlotte were sitting in the return room.

The Return Room is not big, only about 20 square meters. In the center of the room is a huge black heart, beating rhythmically.

Both were waiting for Charlotte's female companion to wake up.

Wu Xianxiao could actually use his Qi to stimulate her to wake up immediately, but that would be a bit stressful. The woman had been severely injured and frightened before, and had taken potions and holy water, so she was about to wake up.

Wu Xianxiao looked at the woman who was about to wake up and asked, "I need to find my bird as soon as possible. Didn't they say that they can live for a while after returning to the human world? The longest can be several years, and the shortest is at least one or two years. I can't wait that long."

Charlotte shook her head and said, "Time in Demon City is a self-contained system. No matter how long you've been in the outside world, from the perspective of the people and monsters in Demon City, your time from leaving to returning is only a moment. Moreover, she is also a transcendent of the Church, so it's impossible for her to stay outside for a long time. At most, she can live peacefully in the outside world for a few months to calm down the spiritual shock caused by the absorption of chaos."

Wu Xianxiao and Charlotte had finished their cigarettes and were looking at the woman on the ground moaning. She might wake up at any time.

At this time, Wu Xianxiao asked curiously again: "Speaking of which, what exactly is the giant at the end? Why is the Church so worried about it?"

Wu Xianxiao thought that he had already established a shelter in this world. To be honest, he was already on board the pirate ship of this world. What he was thinking about now was how to upgrade the level of the shelter. Then he had to pay attention to all kinds of information in this world, instead of just listening to stories as before.

Charlotte spread her hands and said, "What are you thinking about? I have just climbed to the second level of Holy Name, and I am still a long way from the fourth level of Holy Name. And you are already a hero, and you can rival the fifth level of Holy Name, okay? When you sensed the sea of ​​spirituality, you obtained much more information than me, and you come to ask me?"

Wu Xianxiao then realized that when Charlotte called him a hero, she was referring to his extraordinary strength.

However, he was not a supernatural being in this world, so he naturally could not sense the spiritual sea, and he had no information about this world, so he said, "I'm sorry, I really don't know."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment and said, "I heard that some extraordinary systems have a weak connection with the spiritual sea... The so-called end giant, at least in the church, is explained completely from the forbidden scriptures."

"God said that there was no transcendence in the beginning. When the first humans reached their limits due to scientific progress, singularity technology was born. This is a scientific level that transcends the limits of mortal understanding, just like the event horizon of a black hole: unknowable, incomprehensible, and unobservable."

"When singularity technology was used to a certain critical point, humans broke through the barrier of rationality. From this, chaos emerged and turned into endless pollution, which caused countless aberrations and distortions. All kinds of strange and unimaginable things happened. The first generation of humans was almost extinct, and only a very small number of individuals survived." "These very few individuals relied on their own intellect. Whether it was tenacity or strong tolerance to horrible negativity, they barely survived and then reproduced new life. The extraordinary was born at this time, relying on the resonance of intellect and chaos, thus producing the initial spirituality."

"God said that as time goes by, the waves of chaos will gradually recede, causing the spirituality to also recede. So starting from the end of the most ancient times, the extraordinary will become weaker and weaker over time. For example, there were a lot of heroes in ancient Greece, but in my time, saints are all strong. In the future, even the most ordinary extraordinary will be rare, and the power of science will once again become the mainstream."

"Until the extraordinary almost fades away, people will once again push the power of science to its limit and obtain singularity technology again. At that time, the second source of chaos that has been opened will be unstoppable. This time, chaos will be mixed with human desires and transformed into a giant that devours everything and traces back from the end of time."

“This is the end of the giant.”

Wu Xianxiao listened carefully. Although this was a religious text belonging to this dream world, what kind of science was contained in it, what kind of singularity technology was it, what kind of post-world civilization was it, and what kind of doomsday giant was it? To be honest, this shocked him greatly, especially since the real world he lived in also had singularity technology, and the dream network in the real world turned into an infinite dream world. Would there be any connection among them?

Wu Xianxiao memorized this information and asked, "Shouldn't you go fight the Titans at the end? Why are you in this demon city?"

Charlotte stood up and walked towards the woman. At the same time, he said, "It's not just our Church, the Dark Council, and all the supernatural organizations of all ages. As long as they are of a certain size, they are basically here, because no existence can fight against the End Titan. Only the Demon Castle and the Demon King who owns the Demon Castle can fight against it, because according to the forbidden code."

"Castlevania is the manifestation of the Chaos Channel when the first generation of Singularity Technology brought about Chaos. Only Chaos can fight against Chaos, and only Castlevania can fight against the End Titan."

At this time, the woman had already woken up. She opened her eyes slightly dazedly, and then immediately started to scream. Charlotte immediately covered her mouth and whispered, "We are already rescued. Don't scream. The Return Room only isolates the chaos, but not the sound."

The woman slowly relaxed. She immediately looked around and saw Wu Xianxiao who had also stood up. She immediately said, "Thank you, sir, for saving us. We came from..."

"The Holy See, and he's a hero." Charlotte interrupted her again.

The woman was stunned, and her speech was a little stammering: "Ying, Ying, hero!?"

"Yes, a big shot, right?" Charlotte smiled, then said seriously: "We were saved by this hero, so we must reward him!"

The woman's expression gradually calmed down, and then she nodded firmly and said, "I understand. I will take on this responsibility, then..."

"What are you thinking about?"

Charlotte patted the woman's head, then turned to explain to Wu Xianxiao: "The blood of heroes can be inherited. Although it will weaken from generation to generation, at least within three generations, everyone will become a transcendent. So I don't know when it started, whether it was the Church or other transcendent organizations, they all had a position similar to the Saint Maiden. You understand, right?"

The woman's face was already red with shame, but Wu Xianxiao really understood...

Charlotte looked at the woman again and said, "The reward a hero needs is divine revelation."

The woman was stunned and murmured, "God's revelation?"

"Correct."

Charlotte pointed at the black heart and said, "Return to the human world and tell the Church about the intelligence we have gathered, our casualties, and the changes in Demon City. Then, tell the Church about the reward for this hero. Then, the old guys will know what to do."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief as if with regret, then immediately nodded in agreement. Then, without Charlotte's instructions, she turned around and walked towards the black heart.

Wu Xianxiao saw that the moment the woman touched the black heart, it turned into a huge black mouth and swallowed it up. Then the black coffin rotated a circle, and the woman walked out of the black coffin again.

The woman who entered was covered in blood and had wounds all over her body, while the woman who walked out of the coffin was wearing a brand new silver armor, with a white cloak fluttering behind her, and she looked very elegant.

"Hero, the result of the divine revelation is out, what you are looking for is here..."

"The deepest graveyard area in Castlevania!"
