Chapter 810 Are You Willing to Join My Order? (1/2)
”The essence of Israel's Legendary ability is to 'manifest will'. How should I put it? It's a very interesting power.”
”His every aspect—his life, existence, ideals, and soul has condensed into a single form. As long he believed that he absolutely would not perish, he would remain immortal.”
”You must defeat him in direct confrontation and have him feel that 'he was wounded' to hurt him, and only by making him feel 'he should be dead' could he die.”
”Ambushing him without him knowing is useless. He would not know that you're attacking him, and therefore your attack does not exist to him… Conversely, he could not ambush others either: his attack would not exist if no one noticed it.”
”Therefore, Israel lost the ability to himself. He is the most honest and just, a person of 'Justice' even unto himself in the face of death. At the same time, he commands the greatest Might in the world as Legendary champion and Emperor—the remarkably similarity and resonance therefore got Zinsen to seek Israel out in hopes that he would become his heir.”
The God of Love stood in the middle of the street.
She calmly spoke of Israel and Zinsen's relationship, telling Joshua and Igor how the pair had agreed upon an inheritance.
”Israel has arrived upon his own human limit. He knew well that he was of mere human flesh and could not fool himself into becoming capable of repelling Evil Gods, just as he did not believe that he 'could' defeat Evil Gods. Logic dictated that he must not limit himself to human, and becoming god was the best and quickest path to improve. Through that, the things that he could 'do naturally' would increase exponentially.”
Joshua was on the other side of the street, while Pope Igor had sat on a chair put out by a nearby stall, with the latter now being aware that Yolanda was here for the warrior's presence.
”Why would Zinsen want to speak to me alone?”
After learning about the connection between various events and understanding the logic behind the scenes, Joshua became even more puzzled. ”If I'm not his ideal heir in the first place and he already found his own heir, why would he be concerned whether I've found my own Order?”
”Likewise, Your Majesty, though you claimed to have come to Moldavia to tell us about the 'Bottom the Abyss', I could tell that you're here to observe if I found my Order as well.”
'Why are you and the rest so concerned over that?'
It was what Joshua could not understand. He understood that the Seven Gods share a profound conflict due to their differences in Order. That conflict could be explained as the struggle of godly paths in the common tongue, but what did that conflict kept amongst the god themselves have to do with mortals such as them?
They should be looking those who share their Order even if they were seeking allies, just like how Zinsen sought out Israel—the God of Might might be a little compatible with Joshua, or at least both admit the basis of Order was power.
As for the God of Love and Death… How was he similar to her at all?
”You think that we are too different, even incompatible… right?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
Without words, Yolanda's knew the warrior's thought from his gaze alone. A smile hence appeared on the face of the God of Love, although it soon turned into a sigh. ”However, you are wrong, Radcliffe.”
”We share more common ground than you do with Zinsen.”
”Well, in terms of love and death, I am certainly more compatible with the latter—I am adept at sending my enemies to hell after all.”
Joshua said earnestly, shaking his head. ”I really don't think we share anything in other aspects. Perhaps love could gain a place in my heart in the future, but now I just want to my best to vanquish my foes.”
”Radcliffe, your perspective is too narrow. Is Order truly so simple? It is the cornerstone of society and the core of civilization, its existence eternal, stretching ancient times to the never-ending future.”
Yolanda refuted Joshua and shook her head too, and began to walk slowly towards the warrior even as she spoke calmly, ”My love isn't merely intimacy—'Love' is nothing that shallow.”
”Radcliffe. Love is everything, the cornerstone of all things and the basis of civilization and Order.”
”Love is all things that live, the reason and passion for existence.”
”All that you like, cherish, pursue and wish to protect is love. The same 'love' which quietly enfolds everything, inconspicuous, undetectable and as silent and death, but it also maintains the drive for you and I to 'live'.
The goddess with an elven appearance reached Joshua.
There was nothing: no profound special effects, no falling petals or even astonishing images. Yolanda walked as if she was a mortal as she mundanely looked up into Joshua's frowning eyes, and said quietly, ”'Love' is the pillar of existence, the origin of Order and invincible will.”
”Radcliffe. Just as you love the battlefield, all things live and exist because of love. Be it newborns or new inventions, all that human acknowledges appear because of love—without any love from parents or technicians, they would never come to be.”
”Love is Order.”
At those words, Yolanda closed her eyes and laughed wondrously, her rather hoarse voice wafting in the wind.
”And to lose love is death. If love is the root of Order, death is the end of everything. The cycle of love and death is therefore the life of men.”
”Radcliffe. How could you say that you're not like me if you love this world so profoundly?”
***
The God of Love and Death demonstrated her Order to Joshua van Radcliffe.
The deity's violet eyes stared at the black-haired warrior, patiently awaiting his reply.
”You're right,” Joshua sighed, admitting that Her Majesty's Path of Love and Death was definitely very similar to his own.
