Volume 8: Glass Chapter 697: Sacrifice to the Seven Gods
Ding Dong!
The goblets collided with each other, making crisp sounds.
The rich scarlet wine with tiny specks of light swayed, and the residue on the inner wall of the glass looked like the setting sun.
"How's Kingsley Wordswall doing?"
At the grand wedding held in Abbasiya Square, Mr. Jingyao stood upright beside the white dining table, took a sip of the wine glass, exclaimed, and then asked the lady in silver robe beside him.
The dazzling queen Jessica stared at the newlyweds in the distance, her shining eyes reflecting the figure of the man in the black hat on the left.
He smiled faintly, and said in a teasing tone:
"The omniscient God of Magic actually has things he doesn't know?"
"I just want to get a more definite answer from you."
Mr. Jingyao was not provoked and spoke calmly.
He glanced at this stunningly beautiful goddess, and thought of their past, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"In the astral world, there are only two of you true gods... I think no one else would know Kingsley's specific situation better than you."
"True God?"
The Brilliant Queen withdrew her gaze, turned her head and looked directly into Mr. Jingyao's eyes. There seemed to be stars shining in the Queen's beautiful eyes, but her gaze was quite sharp, and even mixed with a sense of scrutiny.
"There is only one true God in the star world, and that is the Sun God, Liefu. I am just a poor person who was bullied and exiled, with only the status of a true God left..."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, even resentment.
Mr. Jingyao remained silent on this.
Jessica shook the wine glass in disappointment, then took a sip. The sweet aroma of the wine went down her throat, but it made her feel a little bitter.
There were some ripples in his eyes.
"This wine is called 'I Love Only'? It's really rare in the world. The name sounds nice and the wine is delicious... It's a pity that people like me can't taste the beauty of the wine."
The Radiant Queen laughed at herself.
After a while.
Then He slowly spoke:
"Kingsley's situation has reached its limit. Ten parts of the unique divinity are not so easy to hold. Without the source sin, He cannot transcend the sequence. Lacking a sewage medium, He cannot maintain His sanity and stability. In fact, He has been less than ten years away from being completely out of control... Thanks to you and Conrad, those angels and gods who were eyeing Him covetously dared not come to the star realm to disturb Him. Ha, in the lonely and boring days, I could only stare at the half-black sun in a daze."
The second half of the Radiant Queen's words were full of mockery.
After hearing this, Mr. Jingyao looked thoughtful.
"ten years……"
His vast and deep eyes met the silver-robed lady's gaze and he said softly:
"You still hate me for not helping you back then."
"No!"
The Radiant Queen glared at Him.
Then he gritted his teeth and said:
"I just curse every day and night, cursing the damn sun to die quickly! Then I can take back the only divinity that belongs to me and regain my due strength... I've really had enough of these years!"
Mr. Jingyao remained silent.
After a while, he said:
"I advise you to give up this dangerous idea, Jessica. The throne is heavy. Sometimes it is not a throne of honor, but a deadly cage."
"give up?"
The Brilliant Queen narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth in a cold arc.
"Is this the real reason why you invited me here? You sit on the throne of God, in charge of knowledge, wisdom and magic, admired by everyone, high above everyone else, yet you advise me to give up... Sometimes I really think you are hypocritical and disgusting, and you lie even more than the Stars. And your good friend Clough is even more cunning than the Conspiracy. If it weren't for Him, Galsworthy would not have died, and I would not have ended up like this."
Mr. Jingyao frowned slightly.
He did not say it directly. Although the "Pearl Time" at that time was caused by the factor of Kraft, the real fuse was still the "greed" of Deep Mother and the Brilliant Queen.
If they had not attempted to seize Liefu's power, the series of events that followed would not have happened.
"You are different from us."
Mr. Jingyao said calmly.
"We have no choice, but you do have a choice."
"Choose to give up your position as a god and become an angel?"
The Brilliant Queen covered her mouth and laughed, her laughter was cold.
"Once Kingsley loses control, this world will no longer have protection. The terrifying beings outside the starry sky will stare at me one by one. If I don't have enough strength, how can I protect myself?"
Mr. Jingyao looked at Him and sighed.
"Jessica, the wine you and I just drank was made from Sebastian Pado's blood..."
“?!”
The Brilliant Queen's pupils shrank sharply.
His expression changed immediately!
Jessica Philomena, who was exiled deep in the astral world and had not paid attention to the present world and the outside world for many years, was still unaware of the fall of the Sea God's Eternal Sleeper.
Hearing Angela's words, the Brilliant Queen couldn't help but pick up the wine glass again, examining and sensing the power in the wine... The ethereal and unpredictable power of fate was also mixed with an extremely strong breath of the deep sea. Faintly, the sound of waves and storms could be heard, and the dreamy thunder was mixed with majesty and violence.
That is definitely not something that an ordinary deep-sea angel or God can possess.
This forced the Brilliant Queen to believe this fact.
Then, He heard Angela continue:
"Kingsley is about to lose control. King Cang doesn't have that much patience anymore. Sebastian Pardo is the best example... If you still trust me, then don't think about regaining power. It would be best if you give up one more part of your unique divinity, forcibly leave the throne, and fall to the status of a secondary god."
"Angela?"
The Brilliant Queen looked incredulous.
He stared at the man in front of him, speechless for a long time.
The other party actually warned him to give up one of the only three remaining authorities in his hands, leaving only two, and in this way he would be forced to fall from the status of true God.
King Cang has lost his patience...
And what does this sentence mean?
Could it be that the Eternal Sleeper Sebastian Pardo was killed by the Cang King...
King Cang is preparing to take action against the old seven gods? !
"Your Highness Jessica, welcome to my wedding with Floyd."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the side.
The Brilliant Queen turned her head and saw the protagonists of the wedding, King Cang and his new wife walking towards them.
The other party took off his black hat, raised his glass, and smiled:
"You play the harp beautifully, thank you."
"You're welcome."
Jessica suppressed her suspicion and responded.
He immediately raised his glass in return and continued:
"Thank Angela if you want to thank someone."
"Um?"
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
His eyes swept between Mr. Jingyao and Queen Brilliant, and he guessed something in his heart, but he did not ask rudely, but continued to smile:
"Then I would like to thank the two Your Majesties for coming to the scene to give us your blessings."
As he spoke, Chen Lun raised his glass and took a sip.
Mr. Jingyao smiled and took a sip out of courtesy.
But the Brilliant Queen frowned slightly, still confused in her heart.
"Your Majesty Jessica, are you curious about why I asked Mr. Angela to invite you to the wedding?"
Chen Lun suddenly spoke at this time.
"That's right."
The Brilliant Queen said calmly.
He really couldn't understand why Angela would act as a lobbyist for King Jack Cang and invite him to such a rare but meaningless wedding.
An eternal being, united with a nun who serves him.
Jessica was not optimistic, but also did not care.
If it weren't for his old lover, He would never have come.
“The reason is simple.”
I just heard King Cang speak.
"Compared to the other seven gods of the old time, I think Her Majesty Jessica can be spared from death, also for the sake of Mr. Jingyao."
"King Cang."
The Brilliant Queen's eyes turned cold.
"What do you want to say?"
"The threat from outside the starry sky is coming. I will not allow this to happen. For this reason, I will become the new god of destiny at all costs - whoever dares to stop me will die!"
Chen Lun maintained a calm expression and spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing.
"And the old seven gods are the sacrifices in this deification ceremony. Do you understand, Ms. Jessica?"
“?!”
Jessica couldn't hide her surprise.
He felt an extremely strong self-confidence and unquestionable determination from King Cang's tone and attitude.
The other party directly stated his intention to become a god, and he didn't seem to worry at all that he would interfere or that the matter would be leaked.
Using the old seven gods as sacrifices to become gods...
Jessica's first reaction was that King Cang had gone crazy!
He is clearly just a king of angels, yet he dares to say such unrealistic and outrageous words!
But combined with Angela's veiled warning to her and the news of Sebastian Pardo's death, the Brilliant Queen had to take the other party's words seriously.
"So what do you want from me?"
Jessica frowned.
King Cang put on his hat again, and his deep eyes stared at him from under the brim.
"Complete knowledge of the paths of the stars, and a copy of the one divinity of the stars."
The other party immediately added:
"Ma'am, I only kill true gods."
"King Cang, you are too confident!"
Jessica couldn’t help but feel that this conversation was extremely ridiculous.
His dignity as a Star God made him feel blasphemous and humiliated, and his tone inevitably became extremely cold, with hidden anger.
"What if I say no?"
The Brilliant Queen said coldly.
Chen Lun turned his head and looked at his wife, Floy, then gave the Brilliant Queen a polite smile.
"Today is a beautiful and sacred day, and you are an invited guest, so please rest assured that I will never do anything to you."
Then he said without hesitation:
"But after that, I will come to visit you in person. No matter where you are, I will find you. As an eternal being who holds the power of fate, I am particularly good at divination. You don't have to doubt this..."
Jessica looked grim.
"Aren't you afraid that I will tell Marialena about this? Tell Montgomery or even Kingsley? Since you want to start a war between gods, I don't think they will be afraid!"
"No problem."
Chen Lun picked up the wine glass and gestured with a smile.
"Please consider my proposal carefully, Your Majesty Jessica. Also, I wish you have fun at the banquet."
After saying this, he touched his chest and saluted the two of them, then turned and left with his wife.
As she watched King Cang's receding back, Queen Brilliant's expression changed.
Mr. Jingyao on the side sighed.
"Jessica, you must never underestimate the Cang King... I witnessed the death of Sebastian Pado with my own eyes. At that time, there was even a trace of the old ghost occupying the body of the Sea God, but even so, He still died under the sword of the Cang King... It can be said that in this era, apart from Kingsley, I can't think of anyone else who can be taken seriously by Him."
"That's enough."
The Brilliant Queen took a deep breath, her voice slightly hoarse.
He looked at Angela deeply, then turned and left.
"Give me some time..."
