For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 164 The Divine Revealer

   Apocalypse generally refers to all beings who can establish a connection with the Holy Spirit and have limited use of their powers. In the past, when the worship of the Seven Spirits of Personification was still popular, relying on the power of those divine enlighteners, the Church of the Holy Spirit held the de facto dominion over the Vic Continent and was the real hegemon at that time.

   Later, because the top leaders of the Holy Spirit Church were eager to achieve success, they hoped to resonate the authority of the seven holy spirits directly through ritual magic in one step. In the end, it backfired and set off seven disasters, causing life to be devastated. After that, the influence of the church fell to the bottom, and the concept of divine enlightenment was abolished and swept into the trash can of history.

  But after Terra Riel brought the faith of the Eighth Holy Spirit, this worship object, who was ascended to the throne of the Holy Spirit by mortals, made the divine enlightener who disappeared for more than two hundred years reappear in the world. The prohibition of the seven holy spirits against personification is still in effect to this day, so if one speaks of the diviner today, it refers to the diviner of the eighth holy spirit.

  As another type of supernatural power holder, the manifestation of the power of the gods, unless it is the most advanced form of "reincarnation", can never be swayed by their will. Rather, the divine enlightener is more like a marionette in the hands of the Holy Spirit, just a communication device, a carrier of power, or something else for a higher-level existence.

   Even if the powers are summoned through prayer, what they will be used for in the end is beyond the control of the enlightened ones themselves.

  Diana stopped praying, she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and said apologetically:

   "Sorry, sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't know it would turn out like this..."

   As she said, her right hand subconsciously held the bronze-colored Eighth Holy Spirit Sacred Emblem on her chest. Compared to before, this holy emblem was covered with cobweb-like cracks.

   Although the mage who protected her behind him did not look back, he still comforted softly:

   "No, it's not your fault, no one guessed that a warship with the flag of the Empire would pop up and then suddenly attack us."

  Diana didn't make a sound when she heard the words, just lowered her head silently, and held the holy emblem in her hand even tighter.

   "And now is not the time to say this, how are you guys going to choose?"

  The mage looked at the three sailors and raised his tone.

   Probably to emphasize his words, the silver light of the magic circle in his hand flickered slightly, and several wind blades visible to the naked eye swirled around him.

Previously, because of the sudden attack of the mysterious figure who appeared from the thick fog, the entire bow of the warship was blown to pieces, and the crew on the deck even covered their chests strangely, falling down and dying in pieces. .

  The sea water was pouring back from the damaged position of the hull. Originally, it was riveted with a transformation spell. It is said that it will never be damaged.

  The last viable escape raft hangs on the guardrail behind them, and can be released into the sea just by undoing the rope. The passage leading to the water storage room is behind the three sailors. The Storm Mage, who had previously escaped because of the maintenance of the ship's power system "Wind Stove", insisted on asking the other party to take out a few buckets of fresh water first. , he was willing to untie the rope.

   Those three looked at the wind blade swirling around each other, with hesitant expressions on their faces.

  The space of the floating raft is very small, and the load-bearing capacity is not strong. It can never bear the weight of five people and enough fresh water. As sailors who have been dealing with the ocean all the year round, they are of course aware of the importance of fresh water - food can also be solved by fishing, but there is really no way to think about fresh water.

  The reason why they still have to argue with each other on this issue is because they hope to let the mage abandon the tow oil bottle beside him on this wrecked ship that is about to sink.

   The floating raft is only big enough for four or fewer people to board Awa Island alive. And this girl is a member of the church, and for them, she is a pure outsider.

   But right now, this mage is the so-called "saint" who wants to protect the church to the death, and I don't know what is wrong in his mind.

The man headed by    took two steps forward tentatively with his sword wading in the water, and the tip of the sword in his hand pointed directly at the mage.

   But before he could do anything else, the whistling wind blade swept past his ear in an instant, leaving a shallow scratch on the top of the collapsed mast behind him.

Oops…

   The moment he saw the scratch, the mage secretly cried out in his heart.

As a magic caster who is responsible for maintaining and looking after the warship "Wind Furnace", when the huge imperial warship attacked before, in order to control the ship to avoid it, he has consumed a lot of magic power to summon the wind . Now it seems that the wind blade he can create at this moment may only scratch a few flesh wounds on the human body.

His original intention was to use this to warn the other party not to act rashly, but after seeing the power of the wind blade, the three of them looked at each other, and then they rushed towards him as if they had received a certain signal. come over.

   "Close your eyes..."

   He finally had time to say these words to Diana behind him, and immediately controlled the surrounding wind blades to attack the three people on the opposite side.

  Diana closed her eyes obediently when she heard the words, and in an instant, the sound of splashing water, the screeching sound of the air being broken, and the sound of something being shattered could be heard incessantly.

   At this moment, it was as if everything was being continuously stretched, until every sound was pulled into a weird, distorted scream.

   As a divine enlightener, although she had the miracle of purifying the plague of the entire Wanren City with one person, she was only at the level of a normal person in terms of physical fitness and ability.

   In this regard, the church is propaganda like this: It is not uncommon for a magic caster who is proficient in life spells to purify the plague. But an ordinary person who was just like you and me yesterday can perform miracles that are difficult for even divine domain masters to do today because of their faith. This is the best proof of the true existence of the Holy Spirit.

   is also for this reason, although later tests found that she has the talent to learn magic, and the talent is not low, but the Holy Spirit Church still rejected her request for magic enlightenment. After all, with the protection of the Holy Spirit, adding any external force will reduce her purity as a divine enlightener.

  Right now, she is looking forward to being a magic caster, preferably a war mage who has learned a lot of combat spells. That way, she won't be completely helpless about the current situation.

  Although Diana felt subjectively very long, the battle actually ended quickly,

   "Leave him alive, and rely on his wind to go to Avazhou. You go and put down the raft, and you go and bring two buckets of water."

Something fell back beside Diana, she opened her eyes quickly, and saw that the magic caster who had been protecting her was kicked by a sailor beside the guardrail. The rapier pressed against his neck.

  Diana looked up at the three people, and one of them just pointed his sword at her and asked:

   "Then what should she do with it? A sword?"

   "It's because of her that she suffered so much this trip... Just tie her here and let her sink to the bottom of the sea with this unfortunate ship."

The man headed by    said so, and then he looked down at Diana and said:

"Miss, although you may not have felt it before, the taste of drowning is not pleasant. Simply put, it is as if a pair of icy hands slowly grabbed your neck and your lungs from loose to tight. Bit by bit squeeze the breath of life out of your body..."

   The person who untied the sailor's knot on the floating raft joked:

   "When did you become a **** poet?"

   "I was always a poet when I killed people, and don't talk nonsense, just put the raft down, and remember to give me the untied rope."

  Diana heard the words but asked calmly:

   "What about him?"

   She said and pointed to the magic caster beside her.

   "Don't worry, your knight will not die. As he said before, if there is no wind from him, we will most likely die if we only rely on this small floating raft to drift on this sea."

   he replied with a shrug.

  According to the previous calculations, this place is already very close to Awazhou, which is about four or five days' voyage. But this is also in the presence of strong winds and without disorientation. At least before seeing the coastline of Avazhou, this magic caster who is proficient in the storm system is an indispensable object.

  Although it was well hidden, Diana could see the killing intent in the other's eyes.

   Even in order not to expose their secrets, they will kill the magic caster who has been trying to save them when they are about to reach the shore.

   But before she could speak to remind her, the mage on the side said weakly:

   "If she didn't get on the boat, I wouldn't summon the wind... Row the rest of the way with your hands..."

   But this sailor said nonchalantly:

   "Don't worry, tough guy, we will have enough time and methods for you to change your mind."

   Then he took the hemp rope from his companion, grabbed Diana's slender arm, and tied it firmly to the railing.

   "You still have a few minutes left to pray to the Holy Spirit of your faith to see if He will manifest to rescue you."

   He said this before jumping on the raft with the bucket in his arms.

   Looking at the gradually sinking wreckage of the battleship, he finally shouted to Diana:

   "If there is a holy sign, please let us look up."

   In response, Diana looked at the cracked bronze holy emblem on her chest and whispered:

   "Isn't that just now..."

   Previously, in the revelation of the fragmented future, she saw the dragon attacking her and the fog that filled her surroundings.

   And when she arrived on the deck, she once again felt the projection of the power of the Eighth Holy Spirit in a trance.

   For some reason, the power in this fog has become very weak compared to usual. But she still followed the instructions, and through the sacred artifact she had been carrying, let this power resonate with the shadow of the Eighth Holy Spirit not far away in the human world.

   I had just prayed that the Eighth Holy Spirit could save the entire warship from the black dragon's hands, but the result was that the power of the Eighth Holy Spirit came back to the world through that phantom. While he solved the black dragon with a few tricks, he also solved the entire ship at the same time.

  Thinking of this, in Diana's mind, some ideas that can be called heresy are breeding.

   So what is the real purpose of the eighth Holy Spirit?

   Is it the dragon, or the ship?

   She had heard of the fog of the Shattered Sea, and all that wandered in it were hallucinations based on past memories. As long as they are ignored, they cannot affect the real thing. Conversely, as long as they interact enough with real things, they can become real enough.

  Diana braked the car at the thought of this.

   Enough is enough, don't think about it any longer.

   In fact, there is nothing to think about, after all, I will drown here soon.

  Diana had nothing to fear about death.

   Now, she just feels a little sorry for the mage who had always wanted to protect her. Those sailors would definitely kill him afterwards and disguise it as a shipwreck.

   But at this moment, she doesn't want to pray anymore and ask the Eighth Holy Spirit to help her solve this last worry.

  My previous prayers, instead of saving those people, caused the whole ship to sink.

  The water gradually submerged her ankles, covered her waist, climbed up her chest, strangled her throat, and covered her mouth and nose.

   She could feel that the Holy Spirit "Dead" who symbolized death was quietly approaching her. He was like a person walking on water, approaching her step by step, and then slowly squatting in front of her.

  The image of the Holy Spirit "Dead" has always been a skinny figure wearing a dark cloak, and no living person has ever seen him take off his hood.

   But now Diana has seen it.

   Completely different from what she imagined, the other party actually looked like a resident of Storm Province.

  Grey hair, silver grey eyes, and pale complexion.

   And what was even more outrageous was that the other party actually carried the holy emblem of the Eighth Holy Spirit.

   is actually not the holy emblem of the seventh holy spirit, but the holy emblem of the eighth holy spirit.

   It is said that the deceased is responsible for guiding all souls to find their final destination, so is he now to bring himself to the kingdom of the eighth Holy Spirit?

   "Alive?"

   Did the other party speak? !

  The Holy Spirit actually spoke?

   This is the first time ever since Terra Riel went to the Dragon Bone Islands and heard the oracles issued by the seven holy spirits, the miracle of hearing the Holy Spirit speak for the first time in history!

   Or does everyone actually hear this before they die?

  Wait, what did the other party just say?

   "I'm still alive...you and you, who are you?"

   Diana asked back immediately, but since she was submerged in water, the sound was just a series of bubbling gurgles.

   And just after she finished asking, she felt that the water that had drowned her began to fade away quickly.

   Then she realized that it wasn't that the water that submerged her was fading, but that the wreckage of the entire ship was slowly lifted into the air under an invisible force.
