Chapter 83 The Origin of Magic
Winter gradually woke up from his coma and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Where is this place?" Winter asked himself, and then shook his confused head, and remembered everything that happened before. "Oh, right! I fell into a cave!"
"Speaking of which, this is a hollowed-out mountain. It's too simple to have only three passages and a few ice rooms! So... is this inside the mountain, or under the mountain?"
"I'm so lucky I didn't die from the fall!"
The surrounding area was filled with solid soil, which sealed off the narrow space into darkness. The only light came from the cave on the right.
【Come here, my child! 】
A strange female voice sounded in my mind, as gentle as my mother's.
Feeling the throbbing deep in his soul, Winter followed the guidance of his heart and walked towards the cave entrance.
After entering the cave, the scene in front of you suddenly becomes clear. Bright magic crystals are distributed on the walls, which are the same decorations as those on the top of the mountain. They illuminate the ice room in front of you, which is as big as a tavern, as bright as day.
In the huge space, there was only a huge ice coffin standing in the center, with two beautiful female corpses lying in the ice coffin.
Winter walked forward and took a closer look. The two women must have been dead for a long time, but they still retained their previous appearance. Their faces were almost exactly the same, and the aura they exuded was also very similar. The only obvious difference was their clothes, one black and one white.
The Black and White Goddess?! Winter immediately thought of the story Kira and the others told in the tavern yesterday!
[It seems you already know our identities! ]
A different female voice from the previous one, the tone is very similar, but this voice sounds a little sharper.
Looking up at the ice coffin in front of me, it seems that the two voices must have been made by them. Wasn’t it said that these two people died thousands of years ago?
[We have long been dead, this is just the remnant of consciousness, in order to pass on our power! ]
"Can you hear my voice?"
[Of course, because you have our blood flowing in your veins! ]
"Bloodline, the Isisnu clan?" Winter quickly thought of the clan that his father and uncle had mentioned, and they had been passed down for who knows how long, and asked, "Are you really gods?"
[God? We are not gods, but we are children of gods! ]
Perhaps because she felt that she didn't have much time left, the Black and White Goddess directly pulled Winter into her own memories.
…
In this world, there is a special existence. They seem to be favored by heaven and earth. Since they became conscious, they have possessed powerful powers that humans do not have. They call it magic and call themselves - gods!
"Today another human asked me how to learn magic. Really, how would I know such a thing!"
"If they could learn magic, they would probably be able to live a better life! Hahaha... What a pity..."
"Indeed, humans are very cute creatures! I heard that some gods and humans have recently come together. How interesting!"
"Really? I'm really looking forward to their future!"
…
Gods and humans lived in harmony on the continent. As time went by, they developed feelings for each other and some of them joined the gods.
One day, they were surprised to find that the descendants of gods and humans could use magic.
"Have you heard? The child born from a human and a god can actually use magic!"
"Really? So, humans can use magic too?"
"I heard they call this kind of people 'magicians'."
"Great! I want my child to be a wizard too!"
"Stop dreaming. How could the gods possibly look down upon you?"
"Stop making so much noise! I will definitely show them my charm!"
In order to pass on their magic, more and more gods and humans are combining, and the era of magic belonging to humans has begun!
…
Perhaps to punish the gods for teaching magic to humans without permission, a new race has emerged. They have only one goal: to destroy the gods! They call themselves - demons!
"Demon? What is that?"
"I heard that they are a race that is born with powerful powers, just like the gods."
"I'm so envious! Are they as kind as gods? Maybe we can become companions in the future!"
"No, I heard that the demons seem to be hostile to the gods! They often take the initiative to provoke us, and even attack us directly!"
"What? That's the enemy?!"
…
Soon, the gods led the humans who had become wizards to fight against the demons, and both sides suffered losses.
"Where on earth did these demons come from? They are so troublesome!"
"Chief, three more of our companions have been seriously injured by the demons and cannot be treated."
"Let them see their family for the last time!"
"Please, save my family!"
"I'm sorry, we've tried our best, but there's nothing we can do!"
"How could this happen?! Aren't you gods?! Don't you know magic?! Please save my family!!!"
…
Demons seem to be born with the power to bewitch people. They use their powerful strength to gain the support of humans with dark hearts.
"Other people can become wizards, why can't I?"
"Even if I combine with the gods, I won't be the one to gain the power ! I want this power too!"
"Power power power!!! Magic magic magic!!!"
"If I could use magic, my family wouldn't have died!"
"They have great power, but they can't protect their companions. What kind of gods are they?!"
Greed, hatred, anger, unwillingness, inferiority... the devil's whispers triggered the darkness deep in the human heart. Some humans joined the devil clan and became devils after being transformed by the devil factor. Although the survival rate is very low, once successful, they can gain powerful power!
"As long as you become a demon, you can gain power!"
But there is another method with a higher success rate and fewer side effects!
"As long as you kill the gods yourself, you can gain their power!"
"Kill the gods? They are our companions!"
"When they watched your family die without helping them, did they ever think that you were their companion?"
"No! If I do that, I will never be able to return to the tribe! Besides, who knows if this method is feasible!"
"How about this, you can just give those gods who are too seriously injured to be cured a quick death and let them die peacefully. You will know after you try it!"
"Try...try it...Okay! I'll try it!"
…
The demons did not deceive humans. After killing the gods, they can indeed inherit their power. No, it should be said that they obtain power of the same attributes and can fight against the gods!
God-killing magic!
"Traitors!! These filthy humans killed their companions for power, and yet they have the nerve to call themselves the new gods!!"
"Expel all humans from our territory! From now on, it is forbidden for gods and humans to unite!"
"Whether it's a demon or a human, they will all be enemies of the Gods from now on!!!"
Humans discovered that they could not only obtain the magic of killing gods, but also teach it to others! More importantly, only humans can learn the magic of killing gods, but demons cannot!
All this seems to mean: humans will completely replace gods!
"Who is it that truly passed on his power to his companions, allowing you to obtain the magic you always dreamed of?"
"Who saved you from the battle between gods and demons, allowing you and your family to survive?"
"It's me! It's us!!"
"Tell me loudly, who is the real hero!!!"
"The Gods have become a corrupt race. They are rejected by heaven and earth and are just as despicable as the demons!"
"From now on, we humans will stand at the top of the continent. We are the new gods!"
