Chapter 309 Great Curse: The Sixth Purana
"Player Super Justice ()"
One consensus is that the worm was born from the remains of the Crane Rider.
That is to say... At least when Tianche Yushou still existed, there were no worms in the world.
At that time, there were no fallen ways, no demons, no worms.
All the enemies of this world that are currently active do not yet exist.
And among the great enemies, the Fallen also fears the Demon, and the Demon fears the Worm.
The wicked have their own grind—according to such a food chain, "worms" should be the ultimate enemy of this world.
And worms are beasts of change.
The skycar runs on the "way of ascension and change", and the worm holds at least half of the power of the skycar. If you think about it from this point of view, it is not incomprehensible for Vladimir to be afraid of Annan... although it still feels like something is missing.
—I always feel like I’m missing something important.
Annan frowned deeply, thinking.
At the same time, he was still distracted, listening to Selicia's narration:
“[Worm] does not open its mouth wide and eat a certain world. It is not like the Seizing Heaven Expeditionary Army did in the past, directly destroying the skin of a world and digging out its heart.
"The way a worm eats a world is to increase the 'unhappiness' of the whole world. If a thing can lead to a good result, it can lead to a bad result, it must lead to the bad direction. As the worm's self Devour, the world will start to 'speed up'...and eventually 'speed up' out of control, the whole world will fall into a chaotic self-devouring, and eventually self-destruction.
"The world destroyed in this way will be regarded as a sacrifice to the worm. It will use this to increase its self and further increase its appetite, and the next time it will devour it will become more rapid."
"Is such that."
Victor on the side interjected: "The [Worm Ritual] invented by the elves back then was based on the concepts of 'self-replication', 'accelerating out of control', and 'self-devouring', and used the power of the ritual to steal the power of the 'worm' .”
"...Is that why people who have performed the worm ceremony will have 'traces of being bitten by worms'?"
"Exactly, Your Majesty."
Victor nodded: "It's like brand marks may appear on the body after the Sui father's ceremony. This is the evidence after the worm ceremony. In the late empire, as long as similar marks appear on the body, you will be arrested immediately and interrogate."
"Did the elves discover the secret of the 'worm' at that time?"
Annan did not use "you", but used the more euphemistic "elves" to make inquiries.
Victor, on the other hand, shook his head.
"That's not the case. The 'worm' was uncontrollable from the very beginning. Back then, the elves were fearless because of their spell power. Even righteous gods were just slightly stronger 'lords'. In the face of the power of spell power , Even divine power is not irreversible. Worms are just 'remnants'. The elves were so proud at the beginning, it is even more impossible to see worms in their eyes.
"...But as the spell was broken, the elves gradually became... well, calmed down. There was no shortage of wise men among them, and they quickly realized that if someone performed a worm ritual, it would multiply rapidly. ... until their limited survival resources are devoured.
"From the very beginning, they were only for themselves. This is true for inventing worm rituals, and the same is true for discarding worm rituals; this is true for worshiping worms, and the same is true for rejecting worms."
Victor replied faintly: "Later, the worm was sealed by the emperor in the center of the imperial capital... that is where the sunken continent and the maelstrom are located.
"However, although the continent has collapsed and sunk, the worm should not escape. Because the emperor designed an absolutely foolproof seal, the continent is just the 'coordinates' where the seal is located."
"Then Vladimir, how did you find the worm?"
Annan asked.
But faced with this problem,
Victor and Selicia looked at each other.
Both were silent.
"I don't know about that. Because Vladimir didn't tell me at the time."
In the end, it was Selicia who spoke first: "That person vowed at the time...that he had found a way to use the power of worms. I also told that person at the time, please take me. But in the end...he was alone... Did not bring.
"That person, he still can't trust anyone in the end...he only believes in himself."
"...In theory, he shouldn't have found the worm."
Victor hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Because the worm is not in this era at all—it was sent to the future more than 180 years later by a great super-curse named [Sixth Purana]. "
"future?"
Annan was shocked.
Is this kind of thing... possible?
Victor nodded: "Every ten years, the [Sixth Purana] needs to be debugged to push back the fact that [the worm has reappeared] for another ten years, so the worm is always far away from modern times. The distance from one hundred and seventy-six to one hundred and eighty-six years.
"Nightmare may be able to travel to history, but it will definitely not be able to enter the future. So this is an absolutely safe seal... Not to mention, Vladimir was only of the silver order at that time. He shouldn't have found the worm."
"But the fact is that he not only found it, but also used worms to eat other worlds and obtained the 'remnants' of more than one world."
Annan concluded.
Victor frowned: "I don't quite understand this either.
"But in any case, this matter must be taken seriously. I will meet the Pope, tell him about the matter, and convene the Holy See Council.
"The current [Sixth Purana] is kept in the hands of St. Peter, the 'Silent Man'. But in order not to abuse the power of the great curse, at least six popes need to exist at the same time to use it Go to the future and see for yourself."
After Victor finished speaking, he shrugged his shoulders: "By the way, I actually think that the strange and extremely advanced technologies of Theocracy are the technologies they stole from the future... After all, the 'Sixth Purana' Just in the Theocracy, it’s not surprising that the popes in Zhijing Hall hold a meeting to gather their opinions. Of course, I don’t have any evidence, but I’m just telling you a rumor.
"But one thing's for sure—if the worm is really out of trouble, then it's probably no longer in this world."
Victor sighed: "Worms have the ability to cross the walls of adjacent worlds. Not all worlds once had the 'Tianche Yushou'... In the world without the 'Living Pillar', the truth is extremely fragile, There is simply no way to fight worms.
"The worm cannot be killed by material means, otherwise it will be reborn in the adjacent world. The worm's IQ is not high, but it has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages... as long as it is released, it will definitely escape without a trace At that time, the Arthurian Empire also discussed whether to seal the worm or banish it to another world.
"Once the worm is exiled, it will not come back for at least a few thousand years. When it comes back, we must have no resistance; and if it is sealed, there must be a way to unseal it. In the end, after abandoning the curse, The elves were too... wary of the 'slow death' aspect. So in the end, the 'seal faction' prevailed."
...It's a good thing that you got environmental PTSD back then.
Annan couldn't help but sweat.
However, Annan suddenly had a strange idea in his heart.
The worm was born from the corpse of the Skycart...and now Annan is the new Skycart.
So……
Could it be that worms aren't "can't be killed" but "worms can't be killed in a worldline where Crane is dead"? It may not be a transformed beast that devours the corpse of a god, but another form of the Sky Chariot Rider—just as a sublimated person will become a fallen person due to the erosion of his soul.
But that's just a guess.
At present, it is most practical to take a look at the seal.
"Thank you for your hard work, Victor."
Annan nodded, and said seriously: "And on my side, I will also find a way to find Nicholas II."
"You have a solution?"
Annan nodded, then shook his head again: "I can't say yet. I have to wait a little longer, at least until Kafni takes over."
But it's coming soon—that's next month.
"Oh yes, Your Majesty. There is one other little thing."
Seeing that the business was basically finished, Zhuo Ya suddenly said: "His Highness Dmitri is coming back soon... He met His Highness Maria and said that they will come back together tomorrow."
