Chapter 249, Heramus
Blood moon.
Black soil.
The air is filled with fragrance, but if you take a few more sniffs, your body will mutate immediately, and you will either become a demon or your body will collapse and die.
A place cursed by God.
Or-
Heramus's home.
Countless fierce-looking demons looked at the outsiders quietly.
"As expected, you are here, and you are still in this posture. You must have been cursed by God." A demon stood out from the crowd, and it was Aftetali who he had met once.
"Two?" He looked a little confused.
"Humans, what are you doing here?" asked a demon.
“Do something that everyone thinks is a win-win situation,” said Everit.
"Haha." The demons laughed.
"I will free you, and you will save my life." Everit said calmly, "How about that."
"What?"
Suddenly, a demon approached Yefrit in an instant. The huge dragon-like body came close to the front. If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be frightened to the point of being unable to stand, but Yefrit did not blink.
"Relief?" The demons became very angry, so their ugly faces became ferocious: "You want to kill us?"
'clatter'
At this time, a hand was placed on Everit's shoulder.
Behind him, as the seven-colored light gradually faded, a beautiful face gradually emerged, from virtual to real.
Those pair of deep black eyes obviously showed no aggression, but they seemed to have the suction power of a black hole, causing the soul of any creature that looked at it to be sucked into the black hole, leaving only an empty shell.
All the demons were stunned.
Then the arm wearing a white plush armband gradually appeared.
Head - neck - arms - shoulders - upper body
A demon girl based on a moth gradually appeared in the world.
He is two meters tall and is all white.
It has two wings on its back and four arms.
Wearing a long skirt, she looks graceful.
Miko looked at the demon that was scaring Everit calmly and said, "How dare you scare my Everit."
The demon's body froze, and its huge dragon-like body began to tremble.
The other demons were also frightened.
"Miko, it's okay. Let's ask for help." Everit stretched out his hand and put it on the back of Mico's hand on his shoulder, comforting him: "Don't be angry."
"Your Majesty Hehramus!"
All the demons knelt down in fear.
The guy who scared Everit fell to his knees on the ground, his body shaking like chaff.
Mi Ke raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes a little complicated.
"Did you remember anything?" Everit asked.
"No -" Mi Ke shook his head: "I'm not Heramus, I don't need to think of anything."
She explained: "It's just like you, a little emotional."
Miko actually didn't hate Heramus. She had no ill feelings towards the name or person of Heramus.
But this person must be the one she wants to draw a clear line between.
Because - Mico is the Mico of Evelit, but Heramus is not. Since it is not, then there is no need for Heramus to survive until now.
Mi didn't care what Heramus was thinking, what she wanted to do, or what secrets she kept. It didn't matter to her.
The focus is now.
She is Miko, the Miko who was Heramus in the past, not—Heramus is the Miko of the present and even the future.
"Where is Heramus's laboratory?" Everit asked.
"That way."
A demon shows the way.
Everit walked over, and the demons quickly moved out of the way.
"How much do you know about the outside world?" Everit asked as he walked.
"We don't know. We have hardly left here since we were conscious." The demons replied.
"Why?" Everit asked.
"We are people abandoned by God, and we are the existence of original sin. Moreover, Her Majesty Heramus does not want us to cause trouble for her."
"How did you become demons? Was it human mutation, or was it created out of thin air?"
"We are a conglomeration of magic."
"That's it." Everit understood.
The demons created by Heramus were created out of thin air. They were the aggregation of magic power and were the true original natural demons.
They don't distinguish between good and evil, and they can't even be counted as living beings -
It is more appropriate to say it is a disaster or a natural phenomenon.
It's like mist and rain in nature, except that they are more concentrated and have wisdom.
When Everit and Miko first met, the most important thing they signed was to help her bid farewell to the devil. The so-called farewell is to break up the devil's body and turn it into pure magic power to return to the world.
There are incomplete historical records that say this is a mission given to her by God. When she completes her mission, she will be able to enter the kingdom of God.
So-
How about treating God not as a villain, but as a being who maintains order?
All of Miko's instinctive logic seemed to make sense.
In the previous era, the wizard Heramus felt that the truth was too far away and life was limited, so she studied demons and turned herself into a demon.
In order to maintain order in the world, or to punish those who did wrong things, God punished her and asked her to make up for her mistakes.
Clean up the mess you made yourself.
so-
Everit had always misunderstood that Miko's mission was to completely eliminate the demons in the Book of Zeref.
But in fact-
It is Miko who wants to destroy the demon he created and make up for his mistakes.
"If that's the case," Future Everit said, "If it's really about hedging the curse, will Miko be completed and Heramus be awakened?"
This is indeed a very worrying matter.
Mi Ke was silent. In fact, she was feeling her physical condition. It seemed that she was indeed recovering slowly, or in other words, her body was waking up.
"There's no rush." Everit said, "Let's go to the laboratory first."
Everit continued to ask: "How much do you know about Heramus?"
The demons looked at Miko and saw that she was very close to this man.
I can only answer with my mouth, I don't dare to hide anything.
"That was a time before dragons ruled."
A time when dragons didn't rule yet, so how old is that?
"We don't know much about Her Majesty Heramus's childhood, but she was a... very scary person."
The demons told them in detail what they knew.
Heramus's image gradually became three-dimensional.
What is even more surprising is the time
That was a previous era more than seven hundred years ago.
At that time, humans were not weaker than dragons. They mainly used alchemy, and magic had not yet become mainstream.
However, the vigorous development of alchemy is a burden to the entire world.
Alchemy is not the same as magic. It consumes more resources than just magic power. As alchemy reaches its peak, even small worlds can be created, but at the same time, the world's resources have been exhausted.
It's like Nirvana magic - creating a city in the sky, the resources that will be consumed are exaggerated and difficult to calculate.
The sages of that era had no choice but to study magic for the future of mankind—compared to alchemy, developing and cultivating your own magic would place a much smaller burden on the world.
In order to encourage people who were unwilling to abandon alchemy, the sages said: The end of magic is also connected to the door of truth. We must explore the abyss of magic for the eternal survival of mankind.
The two Yefulites looked at each other and sighed in their hearts: So this is how the saying about the abyss between truth and magic came about.
Heramus was born in this environment.
She is a wealthy daughter who showed extraordinary talent when she was young. However, she has a weird temper and does not like to make friends with others. She only focuses on studying alchemy and magic.
As a young adult, she had already reached the highest level of knowledge in the world.
But she never shared the results with the outside world.
To her, it didn't matter what humans were, she just wanted to see how many steps there were. How far apart is truth and God.
There is only one word for her character - ruthless.
Because he is ruthless, he doesn't care about the consequences of anything he does.
Because she didn't care, she created these demons out of thin air and brutally exploited them, acting like a tyrant.
But she's not violent, she's just ruthless.
As Heramus went higher and higher.
The world outside is also undergoing drastic changes.
The alchemical civilization completely declined as resources were depleted, but human magic has not developed yet.
As a result, the Dragon Clan gained power and became the masters of the new era.
the other side.
Heramus was about to reach the end of her lifespan, but she was unwilling to give in. It was clear that she was only one step away.
So she transformed herself into a demon.
Her body expanded into a huge world, forming a cocoon—the place abandoned by the gods. The faint fragrance that Everit could smell was actually her body fragrance.
Later, she emerged from the cocoon into a butterfly and a moth, and then was reborn.
But she didn't know what changes she had gone through, from ruthless to manic.
It seemed that she had accumulated a lifetime of emotions and put them all to this moment to vent.
After she completely vented her anger, she left this world and went to the outside world.
The demons don't know what happens next. They are more homely than Mikoto.
"It's really different paths leading to the same destination." Everit smiled.
Isn't the mirror world of Everit equivalent to the cocoon world of Heramus?
If he also chooses to integrate himself into the mirror world and become the **** inside, then wouldn't the mirror world also become a place abandoned by gods?
Miko listened quietly.
After listening.
She reached out and grabbed Everit's hand, interlocking her fingers with his.
Everit felt her nervousness.
"What's wrong?" Everit turned around and asked.
"I remember things that happened about a hundred years ago." Mi Ke said, "It's very clear."
This means that Heramus is waking up.
Everit said: "You go to the mirror world, you don't need to protect me here."
"I don't want to leave you." Mi Ke said with a cry. Over the years, she has never left Evelit.
"The situation is special now." Everit smiled and comforted: "It will be soon."
"Yeah." Mi Ke could only nod.
She was also very scared. If Heramus woke up, wouldn't that look like Miko was dead?
Miko's death was not the death of body or soul, but the death of Everit no longer in her sight.
This is the viciousness of God's punishment. No matter what you do, you will be given a knife.
at this time-
Heramus's laboratory also arrived.
This is a huge city.
Various alchemical works make up this city.
"It's unbelievable -" Evelit couldn't help but say: "Even if I want to consume all the technology here, it will take me a hundred years to start."
"It's just outdated technology." Future Everit said.
That's true.
Alchemy was eliminated by magic back then, and it is still a dead technology even now.
Magic has reached the same heights as alchemy, but its use is still simpler.
Just like treating injuries, alchemy also requires various materials to be refined into magic potions. To treat magic, just press your hands on your chest. The effect is quick and there are no side effects.
Everit is not Heramus, so he is too lazy to inherit these intellectual property.
Anyway, Zeref and the Black Dragon are no longer a threat to their lives now.
Now he and those two could not win at most, but it was also difficult to lose.
Even God actually has bargaining chips.
Keep going deeper.
All kinds of alchemy and magic that are close to the conceptual level are really eye-opening - these are the highest achievements of human civilization in the last era.
Everit believes in letting these things out.
When the time comes to fight twelve shields, maybe Fairy Tail will not be used.
The army of the Kingdom of Fiore was able to bulldoze the Western Continent.
Of course, the consequence is that the world has managed to save a little wealth over the years, and then it was all consumed.
Then God will turn his attention to Everit again: You kid is really capable of causing trouble!
'clatter'
The two stopped in front of a laboratory in the center of the city.
Here is the core knowledge of Heramus.
"Division of labor." Future Everit said: "I research knowledge, and you do hedging for curses."
"Okay." Everit nodded.
There is no need to learn general knowledge, but Heramus's highest achievement, even if you don't learn it, you still have to look at it to satisfy your curiosity.
And Everit has to save himself-using a curse to hedge.
God's curse is the sharpest spear and the thickest shield.
It's hard to break on your own.
However, finding another curse provides the opportunity to take a shortcut and resolve it.
so-
This is what Everit said: win-win, he saves himself, and the demons are freed.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether they want it or not.
"We do," the demons said. "Humans, believe it or not, eternity is a punishment."
Everit didn't answer them. After finding the materials, he concentrated on sculpting the magic circle.
The Devil's Reversal Equation: It is the process of creating the devil's reverse.
The "farewell" that Mi Ke always uses is based on this principle.
Everit used it to reverse these demons back to pure magic power and "send off" them.
These demons are also part of the curse of the **** Heramestna.
By reversing the curses on them, the two curses can be in an opposite state at the same time, thereby canceling each other.
