The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 1216 The Curse of Butterfly Transformation (Two in One)

The monster named [Melvin] is the crystallization of desires, thoughts, and lives of all "Melvins" from ancient times to the present.

In other words, He is actually the unique and exclusive "Alaya Consciousness" of the Melvin family.

Therefore, just trying to repel him is tantamount to fighting against all the Melvins who died on this land in the past, as well as the contemporary Melvins who are still living on this land today.

——This is actually an ability similar to Annan's.

Annan in mythical form can resurrect himself by closing one of his eyes—that is, temporarily sacrificing one of the players.

The same is true for the butterfly "Melvin".

Even though their bodies and souls were instantly frozen to pieces by Annan's creation power, they did not really die.

For they are also truly immortal—

Annan's observation was thorough. After they were frozen to death and crushed, an equal number of "chrysalis" moved. The element of "new life" is as conspicuous as the smoke of a burning wolf before the element of "understanding".

Those butterflies of light, even if their bodies are shattered and their souls are shattered, can still be reincarnated into a nearby chrysalis through some means—perhaps it may be the backup data in [Melvin], and develop them again into new adult.

According to Annan's calculations at the time, they probably only need a few breaths before they can absorb the life of other pupae shells, transform and rebirth with full blood again!

By this time, the original golden body is irrelevant - it's just the chrysalis from which they were first bred.They have been actinized, and they will not lose any power even if they are reborn again.

——The so-called chrysalis symbolizes "new life".The metamorphosis of worms into butterflies has completely changed the old self and acquired a new life form.

But if you have a deeper understanding, you will know that in the chrysalis shell, the body of the worm will first melt, be restored, and then be reshaped again.

Since the whole body is volatile, can a newborn butterfly be regarded as a newborn thing born from "worms"?

This is at the heart of the iconoclasm that the Melvin family has passed down through generations.

This is an idol spell called "Butterfly".

Those Melvins who accidentally left the resident and became sober thought that the essence of this spell was to shed their mortal nature and sublimate themselves into sublime things—inheriting the "god of the world" with mortal bodies and gaining body of god.

But they didn't know that [Melvin] had lied to them.

... Or it can't be said to be a lie.

Because He didn't make any promises in the first place.

He does not have an independent spiritual sense, and all his actions are related to the innermost wishes of the Melvins.

They wrapped the living skeleton with the chrysalis of death, and brewed the pure soul full of strong desires in the ignorant golden-level body, waiting for its abnormal development...

——The living skeleton is the remnant of a larva, and the dead chrysalis is the chrysalis shell.

The final newborns—the end of the evolution of the "Melvin" family are those "Butterflies of Light"!
From this perspective, the "chrysalis of death" and "living bones" are actually the true forms of the Melvin family.

By destroying these butterflies of light and personally destroying [Melvin], Annan finally used the elements of understanding to obtain information that he should not have known.

The Melvin family did not have some ruthless elders who ruthlessly wiped out the lives and minds of the young people in the family, and turned them into actual combat power for rebelling against the Lindong family.

It's because the essence of the "Melvin Family" is like a swarm of insects...

Melvin, closer to the essence, closer to the core, sees individual consciousness as an unwanted extraneous thing.They must remove these impurities in order to get closer to the essence.

The so-called essence is this "butterfly of light".

To make Melvin in the "Butterfly of Light" form be born, a Fusion Magic Card must be played:

It is necessary to sacrifice a group of people first, let them fail to promote to gold, and become a dead chrysalis with no desire and nothing; and then fill it with "living bones".The combination of two and two finally hatched out is this "advanced form" of Melvin.

From an individual point of view, this is equivalent to killing two people in exchange for the birth of a new life; but from the point of view of the hive mind, this is equivalent to "two incomplete parts merged into a complete one", which belongs to a kind of evolution.

From this point of view, the Melvin family is actually quite close to Pokémon...

They first need to differentiate into two different evolutionary forms, and then combine in pairs to form a real evolutionary body.

As for those Melvins who survived, they were "abandoned" instead.

Those sent to other places, in the eyes of the cold and ruthless [Melvin], are actually failures that have no chance of "evolution"; and those Melvins who "inherit the gods of the world" are the purest of all Melvins. ——They will sacrifice themselves and become part of the core of [Melvin].

If these Melvins with the highest purity keep coming over to give away their heads.

I'm afraid [Melvin] will be born smoothly in the end.

——Yes, [Melvin], who was defeated by Annan, is still an "unborn butterfly" after all.

He has already partly broken away from the chrysalis shell, and raised its wet wings.But after all, he still hasn't completely broken free - after all, he has lost a part of his strength.

"Unborn Butterfly" obviously cannot be reincarnated through this reincarnation technique.But if this [butterfly] is really born...it should be possible to complete the reincarnation at a very low cost.

Every Melvin will become the basis for [Butterfly]'s rebirth.Even everyone who flows Melvin's blood, and everyone who learns Melvin's unique knowledge, will become the foundation of [Butterfly]'s resurrection.

And [Butterfly] will create more "Butterflies of Light".

From this point of view, He is actually not much different from a real god.

Those who flow the blood of Melvin and those who have learned the secrets of the Melvin family are all his followers; and these mysterious knowledge passed down from generation to generation can also be regarded as a kind of "divine art" , The idol school originally also had advanced spells that bestow divine spells on others.

When the believers are devout enough, they can even become "Butterflies of Light" through the Butterfly Transformation Ceremony, which is equivalent to the apostles of the gods—the apostles who have the golden-level spellcasting ability and can be reborn infinitely as long as there are still believers alive. It is already the standard of a righteous god.

And even [Butterfly], who is a "god", can be reborn infinitely; if you want to kill him, you must first kill all his "believers".

Judging from the appearance, it looks like an upright god or an obedient god.

Annan could feel that if this [Butterfly] could be fully born, its power should be much stronger than that of the ordinary golden rank... maybe even stronger than the truth rank who obtained the book of truth.

If he looks like a god, abides by the rules of a god, and has the benefits of a god, the believer can also enjoy the magical treatment of the believer of the god, and can be summoned through the ceremony. Even the apostle of the righteous god... In a sense, he can indeed be regarded as a "subordinate god without a master god".

But it is different from righteous gods and obedient gods.

—He is not required to observe the rites of the chronology.

This means that he can do whatever he wants in the world.

Because from another point of view, He did not ascend to the Light Realm through the Ascension Ceremony, so He really cannot be regarded as a real God... Orthodox Gods cannot directly attack such "mortals".

The original Melvin was indeed a genius.

This can almost be regarded as another road besides "Road of Ascension", "Road of Fall", and "Road of Ritual"——

If you want to encircle and suppress the mature [Butterfly], you must kill all of Melvin's blood and erase all of Melvin's knowledge.And you must know... almost all modern similar laws and spells, and one-third of the rituals have been transformed by the Melvin family.

They also sent blood heirs all over the world, marrying high-level members of various countries and major churches.Now Melvin's blood has already blossomed all over the world.

On the basis of these conditions, the righteous god who finally took action must also violate the chronology rituals-the slave god must not be able to defeat him.

There is no doubt that this can be called a blood loss.

I'm afraid that if the plan of the Melvin family is successful, even the righteous gods will have to hold their noses and accept their status.

[Butterfly] may even become the "Moonless God".

Annan, who learned the information through the element of "understanding", couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

Fortunately, I was noticed by myself...

Although the strength is far inferior to the great ancient gods, the chaos and destruction caused by the perfect [Butterfly] to this world may not necessarily be much inferior to that of the "worm".

But they happened to meet Annan.

I don't know who is the final boss...

When Annan's cold wind destroyed the Butterflies of Light, their substrates for rebirth, the chrysalis shells of ordinary Mel cultures, were also frozen and blown away by the cold wind.

Annan chose to explode his scale armor to release the control, which was a sudden inspiration.

But it also happened to be this choice that allowed Annan to directly eliminate the possibility of these "Butterflies of Light" being continuously resurrected-he only knew about this after Annan defeated [Melvin].

In order to prevent it, the curse buried in this land allows the butterflies of light and unborn butterflies to be reborn again...

Annan decided to do everything he could.

As Annan inserted the light blade in his hand deeply into the ground.

The power of the elements called [Strictness] and [Victory] leached from the shining diamond blade, and injected rhythmically like a pulse into the depths of the earth.

crunch--

The earth suddenly made an acid sound.

The ground around Annan suddenly swelled and bulged high.

It is like a plastic playground that has been flooded, and it is like hot glass that has been blown to expand and bulge.And when it expanded to the limit, these earth and rocks disintegrated and shattered one after another, overflowing with scorching light like substance.

Even the false night sky above, which was created by magic and frozen by Annan, was also shattered under this boiling light flow.

The sky split open like a cracked dry earth, and light overflowed from the gap.

If you look at Annan from directly above, you can see that with Annan as the center, a halo is constantly spreading outward and spreading to dozens of miles around.

But that's not actually Halo.

Instead, the ground cracked layer by layer and turned into nothingness.

When the cold current passed by before, the buildings where the Melvin family resided were all frozen and shattered by the cold current.And now even the basement and foundations have been dug out.

In order to maintain their divinity and avoid being contaminated by the mundane, the Melvin family can only stay in the deep mountains.Usually, it is necessary to cut off contact with the outside world... Only a narrow mountain road can pass through, and a two-way illusion barrier is set up at the door.

This is also to prevent those clansmen who occasionally wake up suddenly from escaping secretly.

As long as they stay in this cursed land for a long time, they will gradually be confused again and be controlled by the invisible evil spirit named "Melvin" again.

The most important thing is that they do not have a subway station.

If you want to leave this stretch of deep mountains, you need to walk for more than ten miles in the deep mountains and dense forests full of natural atmosphere.After breaking the illusion enchantment, step into the endless mountains covered by heavy snow.

After walking out of these mountains, you can reach the place where there are people.

This made the residence of the Melvin family a bit mysterious.Ordinary people can't find them at all, so they can only contact them through the people who live in Frostwhisper Province... This also effectively prevents the existence of [Melvin] from being known to outsiders.

But these days, that also has another benefit.

That is to prevent Annan's "purification" work from affecting innocent people.

--Yes.

What Annan wants to do is to uproot and completely eliminate this cursed land from the physical level.

When the light completely dissipated.

Annan, who had returned to his original posture, stood quietly on the only intact ground—a narrow column about ten meters high and less than two meters in diameter.

But it was not Annan who stood on a high ground before.

Instead, as the surrounding ground sank deeply, the land with a depth of more than ten meters was ablated by the flow of light.

Yes.

It's just a sword——with Annan's location as the center, the surrounding deep mountains with a radius of [-] kilometers are only left with rock formations more than ten meters down!

[Melvin] has also been completely eradicated by Annan.

Annan, this is not as simple as just melting these clods.

Instead, the curse that was rooted in this land, all the barriers that the Melvin family had set up on their own territory for so many years, all the treasures and corpses buried... were all destroyed together, leaving no one behind.

Even if no loot is left behind, and he is charged with destroying a big family—Annan must completely eliminate the scourge of this world.

Annan felt it very clearly.

The curse named [Melvin], which lasted for an unknown number of years, was finally completely terminated by him at this time.

Annan even wiped out a thick layer of the entire mountain range.

However, Annan did not feel any pressure to make such an attack at the level of rewriting the map.He didn't extract much energy from the Heart of Justice... because it didn't take much elemental power to just destroy the ground.

If Annan wanted to, even if he turned over the entire cold winter ground like this, he might not be able to burn a quarter of his soul—that is to say, every gold rank can easily make a country-destroying attack, and More than once.

But for mortals, this is basically a catastrophe at the level of a catastrophe and world destruction.

It was only now that Annan really realized what the golden rank really meant.

"It means... what?"

It was like hearing the thoughts in Annan's mind.

A deep voice sounded behind Annan.

Annan could sense the other party's presence without turning his head.

He calmly replied: "It means—you witnessed all of this from the very beginning, but you didn't help any of us.

"what do you want to do……

"—Gryanznoha?"
