Chapter 169 The Third Scapegoat?
Although the method used is special, the birth of children is certainly not something that the goddess of nature can do alone.
The god who was originally named Dio had the blood of two gods.
Another god had actually been exposed by "greed" in the dark forest back then——
The baby rises from the rays of light. This ray of light actually refers to an ancient god named Chenxi.
The God of Morning belongs to the ancient sun god family. He is not very powerful and his "reputation" is not very loud.
But his magical qualities symbolize hope and beginnings, making him very suitable for nurturing children.
That's why the goddess chose him in the first place, or in other words, tied him up to force him to be the father of her child.
Even though he was forced to do so, the God of Dawn loved the child "Dio" very much.
When Dio, that is, God, launched a war to kill gods and invaded the divine domain of the Sun God system, Chenxi acted as an inside agent and helped his son achieve the final victory.
That was also the most difficult battle God fought during the God-Slaying Period, because the Sun God lineage was very powerful and could be called the overlord at the time.
If Chenxi hadn't betrayed his master at the critical moment, even if God didn't die, his foundation would have been damaged and he wouldn't have been able to grow to this point.
Therefore, the relationship between "father and son" is very deep.
"But this kind of betrayal of one of his own people made Chen Xi feel very guilty, so after the incident, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight, especially Dio's. No one knew where he went."
In the dark forest, the elk has regained its composure after getting over the initial irritation.
"I have speculated that Chenxi would live in seclusion in Purgatory. Because of the special nature of that place, it is difficult to conduct an investigation using normal means."
"The Scarlet Sea of Purgatory was once the birthplace of the Sun God."
These words made Adanielle a little confused.
"So you suspect that the god who was killed by Lucifer was Chenxi?"
The environment of Purgatory is extremely unique, similar to the previous state of the Dark Forest. If you are in it, you will suffer the effect of forbidden magic.
It is very suitable for people who want to escape from the world.
And since the Scarlet Sea was once the birthplace of the Sun God, it seems reasonable for God's father to live in seclusion nearby and repent silently.
However, it sounds like all this is just speculation. There is no conclusive evidence. Why is the goddess in front of me so sure?
Moreover, even if this is the truth, what does this have to do with so-called unclean people?
"As you and I speak, your kindred Trafford is stalking the Lord of Greed in Purgatory."
Sensing Adanielle's suspicion, Elk explained calmly: "Because of Dio's help behind the scenes, Trafford's tracking was not thrown off by the Demon King of Greed."
"What's interesting is that the destination of greed is the Scarlet Sea."
The destination is the Scarlet Sea?
Adanielle was startled when she heard this, and then she seemed to understand.
"That is to say, what will happen next will--"
"That's right."
There was a hint of helplessness in Elk's calm tone.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a scene where father and son meet and turn against each other."
…
Is the God of Dawn, killed by Lucifer, really dead?
In other words, is what is happening now really just as simple as it seems?
The headquarters of the Holy See was attacked by the two demon kings "greed and laziness".
In the eyes of outsiders, this is an act of revenge by the demon king of hell to invade the human world and counterattack the archangel's recent demon hunting behavior.
Some insiders will think that this disaster, which caused the foundation of the heaven to be turbulent, was the beginning of the demon kings disrupting the human world, creating more turmoil for the heaven, and even plotting to cut off the connection between the secular world and the heaven.
God's prophet used this to understand the means and location of Lucifer's resurrection, and came to the conclusion that seven kings died and one king was resurrected.
The goddess of nature thought at the beginning that this was Andy's plan to find a scapegoat for himself, so that the culprit, the Greedy Devil, would be exposed in everyone's sight and attract attention.
But there is a loophole in this.
That's God. Do you believe it?
Shaking the faith of human believers, there is indeed turmoil in the kingdom of heaven, but the impact of this turmoil is not very serious.
Although new disasters may occur in the future, they will continue to deepen this instability and create more trouble for the Kingdom of Heaven.
But rather than accomplishing this, shouldn't Lucifer, who had just been resurrected, be more inclined to hide himself?
In other words, this kind of behavior is not worth the gain.
In the eyes of outsiders, Lucifer is reckless and impulsive, so he would not be surprised to do such a thing.
But God attaches great importance to Lucifer, and when communicating with her, he even mentioned that Lucifer has the characteristics of wisdom.
In this case, might He think that the resurrected Lucifer would expose his whereabouts so easily?
It was obvious that He would not believe it.
I will not easily believe the so-called conclusion that seven kings die and one king lives.
Therefore, although he was attracted, he made no other moves and was just observing in secret.
How to change Him from disbelief to belief?
The goddess of nature couldn't understand it before, but after hearing the word apocalypse, she suddenly understood.
The purpose of destroying the Holy See headquarters is just to create unrest in the Kingdom of Heaven, or to provoke and establish power. Such reasons are very far-fetched in the eyes of those who know Lucifer.
But if you add in the apocalypse and the birth of war knights, then it all becomes very reasonable!
However, in this case, another problem arises.
That is, a certain prophet of God once predicted that before the apocalypse comes, unclean people will inevitably appear in the world.
Who is this unclean person?
Is it Lucifer himself who was resurrected from the body of the Demon King?
If this is the case, why is the sentence described in the prophecy not "Before the apocalypse comes, Lucifer will surely come to earth again?"
Is the prophecy not rigorous?
The predictions of human fortune-tellers are usually imprecise, which is understandable.
But the predictions of prophets are completely different from those of soothsayers.
That was information obtained through the power of God. How could there be such an obvious error?
Therefore, the unclean person cannot be Lucifer.
However, if it weren't for Lucifer, then Andy's "scapegoat plan" would have a loophole.
Lucifer is resurrected, and the Knight of the Apocalypse is about to arrive, but this unclean man is nowhere to be seen...
A serious error occurred in the decisive battle process!
In this case, will God ignore this so-called unclean person, or will he re-examine everything in the past and find out the person who should have existed in the prophecy?
You will definitely choose the latter.
Because since it can appear in the prophet's prophecies, then this unclean person must not be a simple existence!
Therefore, if he wants to prevent this investigation, then Andy needs to show the unclean people in the eyes of God before the War Knight is born.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Andy, a person on the purge list, to completely get rid of the situation of being targeted.
In other words, he needs another scapegoat!
And just like God would not easily believe that Lucifer would reveal his whereabouts so easily, ordinary people cannot meet the standards of a scapegoat.
This scapegoat must have complex "functions" and be worthy of the title of unclean person.
Therefore, everything seems foggy and there are no clear clues, but in the eyes of the goddess of nature, things are very intuitive.
Lucifer needs another scapegoat.
Lucifer came up with the concepts of Armageddon and the Apocalypse more than a thousand years ago, and before he came up with these, he "inclined" to kill an ancient god.
The location of this ancient god is the Scarlet Sea, which is suspected to be the secluded place of God's father.
Right now, at this point when the apocalypse is about to come, Lucifer needs to pull out an unclean person and show it to God in order to comply with the decisive battle procedures and get rid of the last layer of doubts about him.
And the Demon King of Greed, a being possessed by "Lucifer", is deliberately attracting God's attention and rushing towards the Scarlet Sea...
Isn’t it obvious, then, who will be this unclean person?
This cannot be said to be deliberate.
But a conspiracy!
"Think about it, after Chen Xi's resurrection, for some reason, he will be deeply bound to the Apocalypse."
When thinking about this, the goddess's mood was very complicated.
Annoyed, shocked, admired, fearful...
You know, "killing a god along the way" was something the other party did more than a thousand years ago!
A game that has been laid out for so long has only revealed its traces today... This can no longer be said to be cunning, but rather perverted to the extreme!
This was the reason why she didn't ask Andy himself, but took a roundabout way to find out the information from Adanile.
Because she couldn't understand Andy at all.
She couldn't understand, but she needed to understand, so she got close to Adanielle.
The purpose is to learn more information about Andy from her.
In other words, she didn't expect to know Andy's details, but she at least needed to figure out one thing.
That is, for what reason did Andy degenerate into the King of Hell when he was still Lucifer?
Is it to build a front line for the human world to resist the disaster of purgatory?
Or is it because of one's own ambitions that it is more convenient to study and control purgatory by being close to the water?
