Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1242 - 142: Twisted History
"Is this me?"
"Even if back then I wasn’t human-shaped and often roamed the corners of the world as the Ziwei Stick, harming innocent young girls, but..."
"Saying that I turned into this octopus-faced figure, isn’t that a bit too much?"
"If you ask me, this isn’t me at all!"
Xu Shu imagined that several-faced statue, and after some self-reflection, he firmly concluded in his heart.
With the statue’s appearance, if it had to be related to the ’Spirit King,’ it should be Bahamut, known as the ’Spirit King’s Son.’
This was the giant octopus that once caused Arthur huge trouble and later appeared in the illusionary relic fragment carried by the ’Tailed Ksitigarbha,’ seeming to have gained appreciation from the latter, but was inexplicably killed by someone in the end! (Note 1)
Xu Shu now suspects that the other members of the Herreras from the Black Zhen School have mistaken the legendary ’Spirit King’ with the appearance of the ’Spirit King’s son, Bahamut’!
After all, Spirit King Arthur, after initially gaining power, almost never revealed his true form to anyone;
While Bahamut often showed off everywhere, the image of the "Spirit King’s son" was well-known throughout the legendary Extraordinary World (Soul Realm, Cursed World, etc.) at that time.
So, for the ’Spirit King’ and the ’Spirit King’s Son’ to look alike is entirely reasonable!
When the Black Zhen School’s Herrera family sculpted the statue of Spirit King Arthur, they would certainly refer to the look of the ’Spirit King’s Son,’ which also reflects their own appearance traits.
Thinking this way makes it all very logical.
This is a typical case of deducing cause from effect, resulting in the ’father looking like the son’ phenomenon...
Of course, that idiot Bahamut is definitely not my son!
Xu Shu suddenly interjected.
As Spirit King Arthur, he knew very well that he was not truly the Spirit King in the real sense.
Back then, Jing Xiaohua and he became so prominent that everyone speculated this way, and rumors spread until Arthur being the Spirit King was taken as truth.
The only factual information might be that being a ’Death God’s Favored’ was true; Arthur’s power originally did come from Althias, making the Death God’s lineage an accurate description.
Rumors can really harm people, but perhaps this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing?
Xu Shu stroked his chin, pondering these events with a bit of sentimentality.
After Orianna finished speaking, she didn’t dare to say more, quietly waiting for Xu Shu to speak.
The man and the creature, one above in the ’sky,’ and the other kneeling on the ground, stared at each other.
The difference was Xu Shu’s gaze was full of scrutiny, continuously scanning every corner of Orianna, seemingly searching for a flaw.
On the other hand, Orianna, with her head raised, had long slender octopus tentacles uneasily writhing around her little mouth, and her six fleshy wings appeared awkwardly misplaced, resembling a bashful young lady.
After a moment of eerie silence, Orianna couldn’t stand being gazed at any longer.
Under the other’s piercing sight, she felt like she was a naked prisoner waiting for judgment!
Of course, she indeed wore nothing.
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there... anything else you want to ask?"
"Yes." Xu Shu nodded, "What’s beneath us that’s dangerous?"
"Huh? You mean?" Orianna seemed not to grasp his meaning instantly.
Xu Shu replied, "I mean, what is beneath the church, didn’t you say this was a secret base? So, what’s inside the base that needs guarding?"
This time Orianna understood.
She quickly answered, "I really don’t know."
"Hmm?"
Are you joking, being a gatekeeper here but claiming to be unaware?
She seemed honest just now, yet suddenly she’s being tight-lipped?
Xu Shu immediately gave a wicked smile and signaled the small jade Buddha.
Instantly, the eyes, either blood-red or jet-black, lit up around Orianna, fixating on her with a threatening demeanor—The submitted Evil Spirit Army was evidently more exclusive, especially towards this one, which seemed like a big threat to them.
At the same time, a chain composed of Buddha Mantras appeared on Orianna, binding her like a python and tightening around her large body.
Thud!
Orianna instantly felt intense, excruciating pain in her body and the overwhelming hunger as if they wanted to dismember her, coming from the other evil spirits.
In less than three seconds, the Sword-holding Angel fearfully knelt with both knees, shouting, "Master! I didn’t deceive you!
"Initially, the High Priest had told us this place was the Lord’s Holy Sanctuary for deep meditation, instructing us to guard it and not allow anyone to approach or leave the altar by any means.
"For many years, apart from the one who claims to be the Lord’s attendant who regularly comes to take offerings and food, we’ve never had any contact or communication with the existence below.
"What exactly is beneath, I truly have no idea! Aaahhh~~" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Orianna seemed extremely pained, rolling on the ground and wailing.
She didn’t seem to be lying... Xu Shu silently signaled to the small jade Buddha, who immediately complied, withdrawing its Divine Skills, making the Buddha Lock Chain on Orianna disappear.
