The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

So it's no wonder that Yegezi is the world's number one squid lover; after all, this thing just needs love.

Soon, the sky brightened.

This time, Xue Luding didn't plan to continue exploring the island. Instead, he called the Baron and began preparing some divine tree bread and water for him, explaining the techniques and principles of the bread-making technique to him. Although he wasn't a mage, but merely a novice who had only had a superficial understanding of magic, it didn't matter, as Xue Luding taught him casually.

Until sunset.

Xue's Law would tell the Baron how he was burned to death.

So they shut off all sources of fire and cleared away all flammable materials from the entire hall of the castle.

This was not a self-rescue effort, but merely an attempt to inform the Baron where the attacks were coming from.

However, they soon noticed the temperature rising and the sunlight seemed strange.

"Fire! It's not something burning inside the castle, but it started from the outside, and the entire castle is on fire! Just like what happened on this island before!" The Baron's voice rang out immediately.

They rushed out of the castle and found that the entire forest surrounding it was ablaze. The island seemed to be repeating the fate of the protagonists in the stories that had once visited it, and now it seemed to be replicating what had happened before.

The principle behind this is exactly the same as that of a ritual.

The mirroring method in the ritual is to replicate ancient events one-to-one in the modern era by fulfilling certain conditions.

Just like the examples we've often used before, if the setup is completed on September 11th, a passing plane will happen to go out of control and crash into the corresponding Twin Towers, twins, Twin Stars, etc., anything related to the concept of "double".

If the timing and reflection are properly arranged, Tokyo could be made to burn, reaching temperatures of 6000 degrees Celsius, as seen during a previous barbecue.

This is the most commonly used ceremony layout.

Similarly, the principle of creation is basically the same, or rather, the principles of rituals throughout the universe are not much different.

Now, the flames are clearly full of ritualistic traces, completely enveloping the castle from the outside. This is a complete replica of the ritual on the island where the island's lord burned the kingdom's army to death.

"No, the surrounding woods are completely ablaze, and it's a forest fire! Damn it, there's not even a safe direction, we're completely surrounded by flames!" His voice trembled.

Although he had long been prepared for death, when the day actually came, he felt his body tremble involuntarily.

"Let me take you out," Xue Dinglu said directly.

“Father, you…”

"Don't worry, even according to the prophecy, you won't die today," Xue Dinglu said directly, grabbing him and chanting, "Holy Light Barrier!"

The advanced application of Holy Light, which is also the most advanced use of Holy Light that Alora taught him, is to not only use Holy Light as a tool for heating and pressurizing energy cutting, but to materialize Holy Light and transform it into a means of defense and healing, similar to the use of non-Newtonian fluids in the energy world.

The barrier of holy light easily blocked the intense heat of the flames.

The Baron did not feel much heat from the flames. Even though he was now in a sea of ​​fire, he could only feel the temperature of the arm holding him up gradually rising, as if it had been set on fire.

Thick smoke pressed down on his back like a black wall, and heat waves licked every inch of his exposed skin. The tree canopy exploded into countless fireballs as he attacked. He smelled the odor of burnt fur, the smell of some wild animal that had been burned to death.

“Father!” the Baron asked.

"Don't worry, you won't die," Xue Ding reassured him, his tone remaining relatively calm even now.

The humus layer beneath their feet began to burn rapidly, like fiery serpents slithering across the unburnt areas.

The forest fire reminded Xue Dinglu of the past. He couldn't remember what the forest fire he experienced when he was a child was like. He was less than 7 years old at the time, and his memories of that time were very vague.

He only knew fire and light; there was fire and light everywhere, both in the sky and on the ground.

Until someone rushed into the burning village and pulled him out.

The burst of particulate matter seemed to explode above my head; I should have been unconscious by then…

This is the forest fire that once raged, and everything he had was burned to ashes, including the forest ranger who had saved him.

Xue Daolu didn't even know what he looked like, who he was, or why he rushed into the fire at that time to precisely rescue him.

But that's how it happened. When he woke up, there were no family members, no forest firefighter, only countless reporters interviewing him.

Until it bursts out of the sea of ​​fire, here is a river that runs through the island, flowing from the crater lake to the sea. This naturally forms a buffer zone, dividing the flames.

"You're safe now," Xue Dinglu's voice rang out, and then he pushed the Baron into the river.

“Father, you…” He had just entered the river and was even choked by the scalding water when burning trees collapsed, completely obscuring his vision.

He could only see the figure bathed in holy light, its vision obscured by the burning flames. The fallen trees seemed to definitively draw a line between them, separating life and death.

The baron watched in silence as the flames completely engulfed the opposite bank of the river.

The fire burned all night long, and countless plants and animals were reduced to ashes. The whole world seemed to have been completely transformed into the shape of flames.

It wasn't until a heavy rain at dawn that the flames, which had already burned out, were extinguished.

The baron limped across the river, only to see a charred corpse lying on the ground, one finger pointing forward as if to an endless road.

……

"The third part of the ceremony has been successfully completed," said the Mimic King.

The former captain's body and King Solomon's soul were completely integrated into the ritual, becoming the lever that brought the process of creating the world through the ritual of the seventh apostle, a step closer.

In fact, we can see from the seven beasts of human evil that Zeus chose the beasts with a very specific purpose.

According to Xue's Law, Zeus accidentally obtained the Book of Job while expanding eastward, and his extraordinary wisdom led him to create this version of Genesis, while also orchestrating Ragnarok.

This suggests that Zeus likely encountered the Juthu people, who had just fled Egypt and occupied the Sumerian plain, and fell in love with them.

Thus, they obtained the Book of Job, which even foretold the future era of Jehovah's dove.

Therefore, the seven evil beasts that Zeus chose for humanity, based on the records and prophecies above, were all very targeted.

The Destroyer, representing the Egyptian god of destruction.

The Mother Goddess of Desire represents the mother goddess in Sumerian mythology.

The goddess of competition represents the star princesses of Sumerian mythology.

The God of Mercy represents the King of Jutah, even though the ancestors of Jutah were actually traitors who betrayed the former king.

And the god of distortion, Xue's law also saw its true name, which is one of the three Egyptian gods, and its true name is "Osiris".

The sixth beast is Ra, the glorious god of Egypt and the sun god.

Did you notice? The six beasts representing human evil represent Zeus's desire to expand eastward and southward, and his desire to completely bring those cultural spheres under his rule.

As for why not go north or west?

Because in ancient Greece, everything in the west except for Britain was within the Greek cultural sphere. As for Britain, it was just a bunch of monkeys at that time, and Celtic mythology didn't even have a hair yet. It wasn't until more than a thousand years later that Celtic mythology was barely formed.

As for Northern Europe, it was a barren land, and Norse mythology took shape even later, probably about 1500 to 2000 years after ancient Greece.

Therefore, in ancient Greece, there was no Age of Gods in Western and Northern Europe; they were all Zeus's backyard. So he naturally turned his attention to the East and South, which also had an Age of Gods.

These seven beasts of human evil are a means of distorting the beliefs of other places, turning them into monsters and demons, so that the one true god can better gain faith.

Without demons, how can the greatness of the one God be demonstrated?

Therefore, the Mimic King once complained: "The guy who can create this ritual is no weaker than some low-level apostles. How were you able to kill him before?"

Xue's Law: "..."

Died in the shadows...

Perhaps even Mom didn't think she could kill Zeus at that time. Instead, she planned to let Xue Lude grow to his full potential before facing the final boss, Zeus. However, she didn't expect that Xue Lude and his team killed Zeus not with strength, but with intelligence advantage and Zeus's small head controlling the big head.

Perhaps my original path of growth was to meet one teacher after another, and unite with all the other forces that could be united, whether it be the gods of Sumer, the phantom gods of Egypt, the young version of Jehovah of Jutah and King David, or even the gods of the Eastern Age and the smoke mirror of the Americas, and finally fight together to stop Zeus, the creator of the world...

In addition, by uniting with the other Greek gods, they had the power to kill Zeus.

But perhaps even Mom didn't expect that Xue and his group would actually use Zeus's small head and the curse of the second-generation god king to complete this impossible task.

Perhaps after that, Mom realized that Xue's Law could only grow wildly, completely beyond the scope of her ability to protect it.

Strangely, Xue's Law of Human Evil only saw six of the seven beasts, and he couldn't see any information about the last one, the "beast" of human evil.

All I can see is...

"The ultimate beast of human evil, the beast of demise... the end of everything..."

“Actually, according to this ritual, the Beast of the End is actually the first ‘beast’ to be born,” the Mimic King reminded him.

"Hmm?" Xue Dinglu made a questioning sound. The Beast of Human Evil's End was the first beast to appear?

Then why can't I use the power of the Beast of the End at all? Logically speaking, since I completed the Genesis of the Descent of the Standard, I should be able to control all the evil beasts of humanity, only I need to pay different prices.

But why have I never felt the power of the Beast of the End?

The Mimic King hesitated, clearly understanding the difference between being caught up in the moment and seeing things clearly from the sidelines: "The Beast of the End signifies the beast that ends everything, but in your world, the power of this Beast of the End is to end all divine ages and return the world to a time without magic..."

"Who do you think this Beast of the End is?"

Xue's Law: "???"

Xue's Law: "!!!"

The final beast that will end all magic, mythology, and the age of gods... Could it be... that's not...?

The pages of "The New Century" automatically turned, and this time, information about the ultimate beast of human evil, the final beast, appeared prominently in the book.

"The seventh beast of human evil, the beast of the end, the god-slaying hero—Seldileth..."

Chapter 456 The Apostle Descends from the Sky, Wrathful and Ferocious

“So that’s how it is… The Beast that Ends Everything…” Xue Dinglu stared blankly at the monster on this page of Genesis, whose body was covered in cursed blood armor and whose hands had large holes, and gradually understood everything.

This might be the path I was originally designed for: to first become a "beast," then end the Age of Gods, and thus complete my mission.

However, Mom never expected that she wasn't a diligent student taking driving lessons step by step, but rather a fully insured semi-trailer carrying steel coils, which not only caused the driving training ground to fly away, but also crushed the road that was originally meant for her growth.

However, he now finally understands the power of this ritual, why Zeus the Elder aroused his mother's fear, and even why his mother was determined to end the Age of Gods and then pack up all the monsters and demons and throw them into the wilderness of the Warp to survive.

In just a thousand years, a god-like being like Zeus has emerged. My mother doesn't even dare to imagine if, given more time, an even more god-like being would appear. After all, on Earth, those fifth-tier beings in the Age of Gods have already reached the top. If they want to go further, the only way is to possess the original status of Earth…

Zeus was the first, but at this rate, he certainly won't be the last...

"Actually, the history of your world has provided me with excellent material, which is what kind of biological environment would be born in an environment with a high concentration of Venerable King Spirit Particles... However, it seems that a high concentration of Spirit Particles is not necessarily a good thing..." The Mimic Venerable King also complained.

Xue Lude thought of Su Su's hometown again, the world that was self-destructed by a group of distorted "artificial gods".

That was a world capable of breaking through to the 5th rank. Even their artificial gods were able to stop the invasion of the apostles and push back the Seventh Apostle's clan.

However, once the external threat was gone, those artificial gods quickly twisted into demons who lived according to their own authority, thus becoming even more monstrous than the apostles.

The universe is like a giant donkey, and it seems that under any circumstances, as long as one obtains great power without guidance, one will naturally turn into a donkey.
