Volume 2: Funeral Song of Crows Chapter 5 Media
Unlike the Void Kings who clearly exist in the Moon Realm, people cannot sense where the Seven Holy Spirits exist.
In William's time, when the Moon Realm faith was at its most rampant, Moon Realm believers often used this point to prove that the faith of the Holy Spirit Church was false and that the Holy Spirit they believed in did not actually exist.
But this statement is not accurate, because at least the power of the Holy Spirit is real and will respond to the prayers of its believers.
The most typical example is that by touching the holy emblem of the Holy Spirit in the church, one can gain a buff that can last for a long time. This is called the blessing of the Holy Spirit, and it is also one of the most direct evidences to prove the real existence of the Holy Spirit.
And now, by touching this statue that has not been enchanted in any way, William also gained a weak strengthening buff.
This at least proves that the Eighth Holy Spirit really exists and is not something fabricated by an imperial royal family to gild their own reputation.
After using a spell to dispel the status on himself, William walked over and touched another statue that represented Terra Riel.
The result was the same buff.
As media, the two statues seem to be no different.
This is half good news. At least the belief in the personified Eighth Holy Spirit is not bound to oneself alone.
Of course, from another perspective, half of the instability factors of the Eighth Holy Spirit are also in the hands of others. If it gets out of control and becomes the Eighth Disaster, he will still have to bear his own name.
If you think about it this way, the hidden dangers are quite large.
Thinking of this, William recalled the definition of the Eighth Holy Spirit in the game—the first cause of creation, the driving force behind the glory of creation by the Seven Holy Spirits.
From a structural point of view, the model of the creation of the world by the seven holy spirits is already very complete.
The first thunder of the "father" shattered the complete creation in the realm of light, stripped off the pending possibilities and precipitated into the initial laws of time and space, experienced the "mother" giving life and soul, the "elder" defining logic and language, the "lady" lighting up the love and hate of the heart, the "boy" balancing the cost and reward of all things, and the "child" providing the possibility of change of things, and finally everything was precipitated into the memory of the earth in the hands of the "dead".
A complete model.
However, some scholars in the Holy Spirit Church have always been puzzled as to why the event happened. That is, why would those originally infinite Holy Spirits choose to leave the realm of light and sink into the solid world?
There is an extremely unpopular school of thought that puts forward a hypothesis - there is a hidden holy spirit that has not been recorded in any mythological prototype. He is the driving force behind the creation of the world, and it is His boredom with eternity and infinity that led to the birth of this complex world.
This is the only information William remembers about the Eighth Holy Spirit.
If it wasn't for the completion of the entire mission, he probably wouldn't have found the manuscript of "The Secret Holy Spirit" in a corner of a frustrated scholar's house and collected it in the church's library...
Or was it the manuscript he returned that caused the current trouble?
That day I realized that some of the things I did casually in the past have caused huge consequences today.
Originally, William wanted to try what would happen if he blew the "Cain Horn", but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.
Last time, Vincent caused such a big commotion. Now that we can confirm that the Eighth Holy Spirit really exists, it would be fun if I blow the whistle to complete the mirror ritual and transform into the Eighth Disaster on the spot.
Thinking of this, William dispelled the buff effect given to him by Terra Riel and walked back to the statue that symbolized himself.
He touched the magic medium in his hand to the crack of the statue, and then launched a master-level transformation spell [Repair of the Holy Relic].
A soft white light flowed into the crack along the magic medium. As the light shone, the crack disappeared into thin air after a few seconds.
Seeing this, William put down the magic medium in his hand and touched the intact statue again.
Does this count as me worshipping myself?
William thought strangely as he once again felt the blessing he had given himself.
Then he looked at the sculpture, which had a solemn expression and heroic brows, and made people feel a sense of righteousness just by staring at it, and shook his head silently.
It looks too righteous, which is far from the image I created based on a popular game character who stabbed his own father to death. At least make it more similar...
Just as he was thinking this, the vision occurred.
William felt that the blessing of the Holy Spirit he received this time instantly turned into some kind of invisible connection.
Connecting myself with this holy statue.
Then the surface of the statue began to flow on its own, like a fluid.
The flow and change took only a dozen seconds, and the statue's shape gradually became fixed.
The Judgment II held in one hand of the statue did not change, but the horn held in the other hand turned into the "Withering Cold", and the horn was hung at the waist of the statue.
Its face turned into that of a man with slightly sunken cheeks and a slightly weathered look.
In other words, he became what William is now.
Both their appearance and dress are exactly the same.
William watched what was happening in front of him in silence, not knowing what he should do.
At this moment, he heard the sound of debris falling off behind him.
When he was about to look back to see what was happening, a higher perspective naturally appeared in his mind, allowing him to see everything behind him without looking back.
From that perspective, he saw himself standing there, and behind him, Nezemal was desperately trying to move his body against the [Petrification] effect, causing debris to constantly fall off his joints.
This is exactly the perspective of the statue in front of you!
Then more connections began to emerge, the sounds in the ears, the breath in the wind... and most importantly - the fluctuations of magic power.
William felt that although he could not move the statue, he could use the invisible connection between them and use the statue as a medium to cast spells remotely.
It was also at this time that William saw that as the petrified fragments that fell off continued to grow larger, fine cracks had begun to appear at Nezemar's joints.
If Nezemal continued to move forcefully while in the [petrified] state, he would probably break his limbs.
As William thought about it, the magic power flowed into the stone "Withering Cold" along with the invisible connection between him and the statue. Then a faint gray breath dissipated from Nezemal's body and was then recovered by the magic medium in the hand of the statue.
The [Petrification] inflicted on Nezemal was lifted with the help of this statue.
The cracks that had originally appeared after the petrification and struggle turned into broken wounds in an instant, and bright red blood flowed out of them.
But she did . She threw down the sword at her waist and knelt in front of William.
And this time even William himself couldn't stop it.
This has happened, and no matter what he says now, he can't explain it to her clearly. It's better to wait until the future to explain it slowly.
But before the other party began to recite the prayer of "Kane's New Testament", William spoke first:
"I'm giving you a task now. Bring all the Kane statues you can find here before this time tomorrow ."
