Chapter 700: Chapter 601 Rafael and Thorns
The Thorny Sky Tower, towering under the starry sky, is surrounded by the “Holy Thorns” and guards Rafael, who, with the Thorny Law Code in his hands—his true “self,” his eternally possessed yet slumbering power—is now awakening.
Besides Rafael, beings such as the Holy Confessor and Holy Prophet—the “Thorns Followers”—no other life forms could discern the text upon the stone slabs.
However, all who cast their gaze towards it can now feel a joy emanating from the depths of their souls; fear, and terror are dispersed by delight, and they seem to have transford into scholars who grasp the truth, and would have no regrets even if they died at this mont.
Though they cannot see the text clearly, they can see symbols that are surging and spreading over the “Holy Thorns” more than before; clearer and more extraordinary symbols begin to erge—representing the sword of justice, the balance of the scales, the hourglass of ti, the gemstone of hope, the Griffin of courage, the baby of the future, the harp of music, the bones of death…
As these symbols, sketched by the cleansing radiance, coalesce and continuously birth “bud-like” entities, the big shots are struck with awe, while scholars and seekers of mysteries are ecstatic as they simultaneously think of the Dark Era’s Mysterious Side’s most inexplicable “topic”.
The secret of the Great Catastrophe!
Before this, based on so past major events.
Scholars know: In the last battle of the Great Catastrophe, Thorns and other Divine beings ford the “Rebel Camp”. They fought, they fell… From the newly opened portals of thorns, one can glimpse the outco of that battle; other than the reincarnated “Thorns” and so completely fallen, the other Divine beings are in states of madness and mutation.
“Thorns gained benefits in that battle as recorded in the ancient Dark Era and Age of Ignorance; ‘Lord of Thorns’, representing absolute justice, but His power cannot solve all the World’s difficulties nor can He judge all life forms, He has flaws, so He revolves around ‘Light’.”
“The original ‘Thorns’ was undoubtedly powerful, but also almost associated with coldness, with suffering, and with blood.”
“Rumors say that amongst the camps of order, justice, and neutrality, if disputes arise among Divine beings, they usually seek the Justice Goddess for Judgent rather than the ‘Lord of Thorns’… In the early Dark Era, a cunning human hero once posed a dilemma to the Lord of Thorns that had Him trapped in the ‘Moral Maze’ for hundreds of years.”
“Clearly, the previous ‘Thorns’ did not understand these incredible symbols, or perhaps did not wish to, nor could He incorporate them into His Divine Position, He hoped to bring absolute justice to the world and to life with the ‘Thorny Law Code’, but He had never truly known the world and life.”
“But now, He has started to understand.”
“Is this the ‘Flower of Truth shall bloom amidst Thorns’ spoken by the Holy Prophet and Holy Confessor?”
“This might also be one of the reasons for the reincarnation of ‘Thorns’, utilizing a reincarnation for His own growth.”
…
In the complex, exhilarating thoughts of the scholars, Rafael, with a joyful smile, spoke two words and cald the catastrophe sweeping across the Origin Star in an inconceivable manner.
At the sa ti, He also did not ignore the “Combat” taking place in front of Him.
Rafael didn’t give Charles I a chance to strike a second sword; after calming the disaster, he allowed the “Thorny Law Code” he was holding to transform into a special Holy Thorn, directly entwining and binding the filthy Charles I.
Beneath those spikes, various symbols representing “Truth” rapidly sketched, accompanied by “buds” being born; imnse and perfectly restraining the powers of filth and corruption. Charles I seed to solidify, his light dimming, and terrifying pollution seed to be pierced by the Holy Thorns, turning into drops of “pus” falling down, and then purified by the Holy Thorns below.
In this “process”, He retained his slaying posture, but could no longer move a muscle.
Beneath the Sword of Punishnt He wielded, Tang Qi retracted her seemingly unscathed hand.
Catching the strike of the “Light Embodint” barehanded without receiving any harm, while Charles I’s half-body was nearly charred?
Mysterious Side knew Tang Qi, the “Witch Principal”, past’s achievents which seed incredible, and now the big shots couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.
How is this possible?
Those expressing this doubt are big shots who are not also polymaths.
Those scholars and researchers, filled with curiosity and sharp insight, had already recognized Tang Qi as a lter Wizard when he summoned the “Master of the lting Furnace’s Roar”, but that still couldn’t explain how he could block Charles I’s terrifying strike.
Tang Qi, of course, would not explain to them, at this mont within the “Dream Kingdom”, the Book of Nothingness, and the Chaos Mushrooms were growing at a terrifying rate like being drenched by Sweet Rain, causing even Deborah Town to experience earthquake-like tremors.
But these disturbances soon ceased.
Charles I’s sword, after being diminished by the Master of the Crucible, had its remaining power within Tang Qi’s tolerable range.
Withdrawing his hand, Tang Qi thought of the recent “surprise,” the surprise from the Master of the Crucible.
His previous guess wasn’t wrong; he was probably the last lter Wizard of the Origin Star, though he actually wasn’t devout and had tampered with the “Soul Splitting Spell” during his Promotion to Professional Level. Consequently, if the Master of the Crucible ever thought of killing his “Believer”, it clearly couldn’t be done.
