Chapter 128 The Hanged Man; The Second Blasphemous Slab
"ah----"
Upon hearing the words "Hanged Man," Celia couldn't help but scoff, "You could say that, but to be precise, it should be 'The Hanged Man.'"
"The Hanged Man?"
At this time, Tarot cards had not yet appeared, so naturally no one knew the meaning of the Hanged Man. However, Yhwach could also tell that the so-called Hanged Man should be the name of the higher sequence of the Seekers pathway.
It's even possible that—
It is the name of the highest sequence!
The Hanged Man?
Celia patiently explained this to Yhwach: "The five aspects of God together constitute His omniscience and omnipotence."
Yhwach had learned this knowledge when he studied under Hohenheim, and he also knew about the five ways of God, three of which are the cornerstones of God proclaimed by the three major churches in Europe today.
The Roman Catholic Church believes in omniscience, so the main approach of the Church is through reading, in order to enhance one's wisdom.
The Church believes that God is sacred and the sun, so the mainstream of the Church is "singers" who sing praises to God's holiness.
The Puritans, on the other hand, viewed it as a storm and a force, so the mainstream of the church was "sailors," to show that they did not forget God's power.
Besides these three ways, God has two other ways.
These are the audience approach and the secret prayer approach.
I don't know much about Yhwach's audience approach, but the Seeker approach is his own approach, and even though his level isn't high, I still have some understanding of it.
However you look at it, the power represented by the Seekers is more dark and evil, rather than like a holy deity.
Seria smiled as if she had read Yhwach's mind: "Who told you that gods are necessarily holy? Since they are all-knowing and all-powerful, can't they also represent evil and depravity?"
"If it cannot represent evil and depravity, how can it be considered omniscient and omnipotent?"
"Of course, in a religious sense, people attribute the concept of a holy and omniscient God to perfect goodness. Therefore, even if there was the Fall, it was a fall on behalf of humanity; the omnipotent God bore the sins of humanity."
"This is the path Adnes has taken, so it's not something I can't imagine at all that he would choose to become the Spirit King."
Celia's voice softened as she spoke, "The Hanged Man represents both the corrupt nature and sacrifice, so it's entirely possible that he sacrificed himself to become the three realms we know today."
His words enlightened Yhwach to some extent, though he still didn't understand much of it.
However, Adnes was a superhuman through the Hanged Man route, which was also the essence of the Quincy race, and he understood that much.
"So—let's talk about the 'war' of the future."
Yhwach added, "This war shouldn't just involve Soul Society, right?"
He had his reasons for guessing that way.
Because he had already killed the monks in the Spirit King Palace.
And it is impossible for them to be resurrected.
Without Hyosube Ichibei, the Soul Society probably won't bother with me.
After all, Yhwach could also sense that the three realms were very stable at present, and there was no erosion of the boundaries caused by his destruction of the Void.
Then the war that will happen in the future will be very strange.
He did initially intend to wage war against Soul Society, but that was a long time ago.
Since he fused with the White King's remains, killed the monk, and almost completely wiped out the Pure Spirit Court, he has vented most of the hatred in his heart.
The rest was nothing more than the lamentations of the souls returning to his body, wanting to end the current Three Realms system and return the world to a world without death.
However, this feeling is not as strong now, partly because he had previously merged with the White King's Sacred Remains, which enhanced his life essence and prevented him from regressing to a state of neither life nor death.
On one hand, it was because Holmonx activated the National Transmutation Array, transmuting the souls of 250,000 people into the Philosopher's Stone, and using the Philosopher's Stone to forge the miracle of immortality, thus elevating the essence of his life once again.
Even if he doesn't start a war or devour souls at this point, he will at most regress to the age of sixteen or seventeen, which will not pose any threat to him.
Today, having learned from Celia about the Soul King's sacrifice as the Hanged Man, he had even less intention of launching a war in the near future.
Upon hearing this, Celia chuckled and said, "The war of the future is nothing more than a replay of the war of the ancient times."
"Oh?"
"I parted ways with Adnes after that war, when—the first blasphemous tablet appeared in the world."
Seria's tone finally carried a hint of nostalgia, and her eyes revealed a suitable sense of reminiscence.
"Many of us saw the first blasphemous tablet, and Adnes found the location of 'uniqueness' in it. After he found it, he parted ways with me."
"Desecrating the stone slab? What's that?"
"A stone tablet that records all the secrets of potion recipes," Celia said. "Before that, very few people knew about the Path of the Gods; in fact, even we—"
She didn't continue, but shook her head and skipped that part, then said, "It was the appearance of the first blasphemous stone tablet that led to the first widespread adoption of the divine path among the powerful."
"You should be able to imagine its value."
Yhwach nodded. A stone tablet containing all the potion recipes was enough to drive anyone mad!
Yhwach himself could not possibly let go of that stone slab!
so----
"Could it be that the stone slab is about to reappear?"
"It is indeed going to appear, but not the same one," Celia said calmly. "It will be a second one, this second blasphemous tablet, in—"
She calculated the time before saying, "Yes, it will appear in the world 142 years from now, that is, 1000 years from now. This is the prophecy recorded on the first blasphemous tablet."
"A second blasphemous tablet?" Yhwach was puzzled. Why would there be two tablets containing a potion recipe?
And who made this stone tablet? Who knows all the secrets of the twenty-two paths?
Why would that person create such a blasphemous stone tablet?
But Yhwach did indeed realize its value.
No wonder a war broke out.
"Will you join the war then?"
Yhwach asked in a deep voice, a smirk playing on Celia's lips: "Who knows? Maybe I'll find it interesting and move on?"
"However—there probably isn't anyone who would interest me."
