Until now, Catalina is still not worried about her own safety, but about the life and death of God.
A series of sudden changes in the girl in the cage made her aware of a possibility that made her panic.
The sea of blood seems huge and boundless, but the source of blood in it is from the vampires who were killed by Cain. Their resentment and hatred are lodged in the blood. The energy is extremely mixed with filth, and only a very small amount of the energy can be absorbed normally. Part of it is definitely not enough to resurrect Lord God, she is certain of this.
"No, child, you are wrong..." the girl in the cage suddenly said.
“What’s wrong?” Katerina was confused.
“The two things you said are both wrong…”
The girl has a soft voice, a childish face, but a gentle tone like a loving Virgin: "The energy of the sea of blood can resurrect people, but it cannot resurrect me..."
“Do you want to...” Katerina exclaimed.
Following her voice, her hand reached uncontrollably towards the package at the back of the boat.
He took the package and opened it, revealing twelve dry and skinny remains.
Katrina was even more panicked, as what she expected was coming true.
These remains are the remains of the twelve descendants of the Blood God.
The reason why she spent nearly two months on the road before entering the Sea of Blood was not because the journey to the Sea of Blood was really that long, but because they took a detour and visited the Blood God's hometown first.
In the Blood God’s hometown, she saw the tombs of these twelve descendants of the Blood God, which seemed to have been secretly cast by the vampires who survived the blood catastrophe that year.
Catalina worshiped these twelve descendants of the Blood God on behalf of God, and then under the instructions of the Blood God, she dug out the bones of the twelve people and took them to the Sea of Blood. God meant that the outside world was in chaos and hoped to bring them to justice. Their dead bodies were buried in a tranquil sea of blood.
Katrina actually felt something strange at the time, but out of trust in God, she didn’t think much and did everything she did.
It was only now that she confirmed that God had lied and brought the corpses of the descendants to the sea of blood, not to bury them again, but to... resurrect her children!
“The reason why the energy of the Sea of Blood cannot be used is because most of the energy is dirty, full of resentment, and cannot be absorbed. Therefore, it needs to be purified before it can be turned into absorbable energy..."
"And the only one who can purify the resentment in the sea of blood is me..." the girl said calmly.
At this time, Katarina fully understood the Blood God's plan: she planned to sacrifice her body and last soul to eliminate the resentful spirits in the sea of blood, so as to resurrect her child and wash away the sins she had committed. sins…
“No, Lord God, it is not your fault, it is…”
Katrina cried and shook her head. She wanted to say that it was Cain who created the sea of blood, and it was Cain who committed these sins. It had nothing to do with the Blood God. Why should she punish herself for the mistakes of others?
"It is not my fault…"
The girl in the cage smiled and shook her head: "Cain was created because of my excessive kindness. Everything started because of me. Extreme kindness will cause greater tragedy. I understand this now. Even without Cain, Sooner or later, a replacement for Cain will appear in the future. In any case, the countless innocent souls in this sea of blood were once the people of the Blood God. This tragedy caused by me is destined to be resolved only by me... "
“But even so, you don’t have to use your body to resolve your grievances…”
Katrina still couldn't understand.
As long as the Blood God can be resurrected using the blood coffin and the Blood God's power is restored, there will always be a way to resurrect her children, and these innocent souls can also be slowly redeemed over a long period of time.
There is obviously a better way, why must it lead to the process of self-destruction?
The girl in the cage seemed to know what she wanted to say, and shook her head lovingly: "I can't be resurrected, and I can't be resurrected."
"Why?" Catalina asked anxiously: "Is it because I haven't found your right arm? It doesn't matter, we just keep looking. No matter where it is hidden, even if I travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, I will definitely find it for you. of…"
The girl in the cage just looked at her apologetically, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's not because of the arm, but because of... you."
“Me?” Catalina was confused.
Can't be resurrected, is it because of her?
"Haven't you remembered, child, how the original Blood God was born? This should be a memory engraved deep in the soul of every vampire..."
"My right arm, we have actually found it...or, in other words, it has never been lost from the beginning..."
"Well…"
Katrina listened blankly to the girl's words, and was about to ask when her mind suddenly shook, and the memory fragments that had been sealed deep in her soul quietly came to life.
Katrina seemed to be integrated into this memory, bringing the original Lilith herself, and traveling to the barbaric era countless years ago, when the gods had not yet fully risen.
The original Lilith was just an ordinary woman from an unknown tribe of gods. She accidentally picked up a power stone and gained the power of blood.
Lilith used the power of the blood of the Power Stone to continuously treat illnesses and save people, saving a large number of lives. She was regarded as the Blood God by the world and gained countless believers.
However, Lilith fell into despair and wandered around the world for tens of thousands of years. With more and more believers, the Power Stone always maintained the shape of a stone and could not be transformed into real authority. This also resulted in Lilith having no magical power but never being able to transform. Become a true god.
After much research, she finally understood that the stone that carries the blood god's authority is the most special of all powers: controlling blood is a very extreme power, and only extremely evil or extremely good people can truly exert the power of bleeding. The power.
The reason why Lilith has never been recognized by the Blood Authority Stone is because while she is kind-hearted by nature, she still retains a selfishness, which is something that people are born with. In theory, people who have lost all selfishness will not be able to She is called a person, but it is this selfishness that prevents the authority of blood from truly accepting her.
Failed to become a god, many followers of the Blood God gradually became disappointed and left. If things go on like this, the lineage of the Blood God will surely decline and disappear among the many divine powers.
Until one day, Lilith's tribe suffered a natural disaster, and a large number of protoss were on the verge of death. They urgently needed the power of the Blood God to turn the tide and save the people from disaster. Lilith finally made up her mind to transfer all her selfishness to her right arm and kill it together with it. remove.
This is the origin of the well-known painting of the Virgin: the Virgin Lilith with her right arm cut off, standing in a pool of blood, holding a crying baby in her arms, and next to it there is a ferocious beast with a mouth. An uneaten arm.
Lilith looked softly at the baby in her arms, exuding the brilliance of motherhood, and everyone who saw it could not help but worship her.
This scene was recorded by a painter and has been widely circulated among the gods since then.
Everyone who saw this painting thought that the meaning of the painting was that Lilith was willing to cut off her own arm to feed the hungry evil beasts, and also to save an ordinary divine baby from the evil beasts.
On this day, Lilith became the true Blood God and gained countless loyal followers.
One day afterward, the vampire believers discovered that the blood god's right arm had returned to intact condition. The believers all thought that the blood **** used his own authority to regenerate the severed limb. Only Lilith herself knew that it was just a prosthetic leg that came from an illusion.
Lilith’s real right arm is actually the child in her left arm in the painting...
"That child, could it be..." Catalina looked at the girl in the cage in shock, already aware of a possibility that shocked her extremely.
“Yes, the child in the painting is you.”
The girl in the cage said apologetically: "Katerina, you are my right arm and the selfishness that I cut off..."
Katrina stood blankly on the spot, already understanding everything.
No wonder before setting off, Lord God said that she didn’t have to worry about being parasitized by the God-Eating Beast. That was because she was not a complete person at all, but just the incarnation of an arm...
"After becoming the Blood God, in order to prevent selfishness from returning to the body, I will seal you in the server of the Star Spirit Realm."
"Theoretically, you cannot grow, because we are one and the same. The stronger I am, I will continue to suppress you and keep you in a deep sleep."
“It wasn’t until later, because I was killed by Cain and my soul fell into silence, that you began to grow, but you could not leave the server and were slowly assimilated into an ordinary individual in the server, constantly growing old, sick, and dying like a mortal, and the cycle continued..."
"And the attachment and admiration you feel for me are actually just the natural homing instinct of the offspring towards the mother. You and I are one, so you will always come closer to me unconsciously, even if we are separated by two worlds. You can always hear my voice and call at any time..."
“And now, if I were fully resurrected, you would disappear again…”
“This is the reason why I cannot be resurrected…”
Lilith told everything calmly.
Across from her, Catalina was already in tears.
Even if she knew everything and understood that her respect for the Blood God was just a homing instinct, she still didn't want to watch the Blood God die for her. The person she would rather be sacrificed was herself.
Katrina wanted to say something, but when she raised her head, she discovered that not far away, a naked female headless body was walking from the sea of blood.
The body walked to Lilith's head, opened the cage, and the girl's head flew out automatically, flew to the broken neck of the body, and merged into one body.
The naked body in front of him suddenly turned into the blood **** Lilith who had lost her right arm.
At the same time, the twelve corpses behind Catalina automatically floated up under Lilith's control, maintaining a standing posture, and landed lightly in the blood around the two of them.
The next moment, the surrounding blood began to boil and surge towards the twelve white bones and Catalina's feet.
Katrina suddenly felt that an extremely abundant divine power was gathering into her body.
The source of this divine power is Lilith, who has a broken arm in front of her.
Katrina completely understood Lilith's plan: not only did she want to resurrect her child, but she also wanted to transfer all her divine power to herself, making her the new Blood God!
"No, mother...I don't want these, I don't want to become a blood god..."
Katrina kept shaking her head and crying, trying to resist the entry of this power.
Although she is a vampire believer, she has never wanted to become a blood god. She just wants Lilith to survive and is willing to pay any price for this.
It's a pity that she can't change all this. Lilith has completely controlled her, and she can only watch things develop in the direction she least wants.
The blood surged and quickly soaked her and the feet of the twelve corpses. At the same time, countless ghosts emerged from the surrounding blood, spinning around her, baring their teeth and claws, and rushed towards her with boundless resentment on their faces. Come, seeming to eat her alive.
Katrina felt a surge of resentment pouring out of her blood, drilling into her body, and attacking her sanity crazily.
However, the next moment, the violent feeling suddenly subsided and was replaced by a warm and friendly embrace.
Katrina opened her eyes and found that Lilith had walked to her and hugged her from behind.
The surrounding vengeful spirits that rushed towards her were all blocked by Lilith's naked body. These violent vengeful spirits then changed their targets and lay on Lilith one after another, gnawing at her flesh and blood crazily.
Under the authority of the Blood God, wounds continued to appear all over Lilith's body, and they recovered quickly. This cycle of injuries and recovery never stopped.
This kind of torture is like being cut into pieces with a thousand knives. Just by looking at it, Catalina can feel the pain and suffocation.
However, Lilith, who endured all this, did not have any pain on her face, but was full of relief and relief.
Lilith looked at Catalina softly, murmuring comfort in her ear, and at the same time, she also said it to the twelve bones around her.
"Children, don't worry, as your mother is here, these evil spirits will not harm you..."
“My flesh and blood is enough to feed all the evil spirits, calm their grievances, and save them and ascend to heaven…”
"The innocent descendants will be resurrected one by one..."
"And you, Katarina, my first child, you will inherit my power and become the new Blood God..."
"Sorry, kid, I don't want you to get involved in any more disputes. I hope you can spend your life safely and happily. However, we all still have unfulfilled responsibilities to complete, and to complete these responsibilities, the power of the Blood God is indispensable. …”
“Don’t worry, you and I belong to the same source. The authority of the blood has been coexisting with me for countless years and has been assimilated by me. Don’t worry about being rejected by it..."
“Also, from now on, I will ask you to take care of my twelve younger brothers and sisters...”
…
Katrina silently listened to the whispers in her ears that were like last words, and tears fell silently.
The blood under her feet was still rising rapidly, gradually covering her calves, lower abdomen, chest, mouth and nose... until the last trace of her sight was covered in blood.
In the sea of blood, only thirteen humanoid silhouettes were left covered in concentrated blood.
At the edge of the Sea of Blood, the rolling blood gradually began to shrink inward, and the water surface was slowly descending. The energy of the entire Sea of Blood was converging towards the thirteen silhouettes in the center... (End of this chapter)
