Very little information would describe an Evil God's appearance in detail. That was because this was an impossible task to begin with, as well as a taboo. This was something that was explicitly forbidden by the descender's manual.
Now, Rorschach finally understood the reason for this taboo.
A rotting, stinky scorched plain was spreading. Everywhere he looked, the air was distorted, and the earth and sky were … dying.
"Save me."
Rorschach could even sense this world instinctively calling for help. The "pollutants" from the outside were killing this world.
"It's impossible to record such an existence."
A gigantic mass of rotting flesh was mixed together. This was one hundred times the size of the Evil God that Rorschach had hunted down in the past. The Evil God's body seemed like an amalgamation of countless pieces of rotting flesh.
Countless golden eyeballs could be seen within the Evil God's body. They connected and organized this gigantic mass of flesh, as if they were the bones and blood vessels within the body.
It was as if this was the Eye of Wisdom's true body. These eyeballs were emitting … a holy light.
That's right, Rorschach discovered to his astonishment that this was a positive energy that was similar to Holy Light.
[The Eye of Wisdom is viewed as a Righteous God that brings wisdom and knowledge in many star systems. If the Eye of Wisdom descends in its complete form, it should be in an even more divine form.]
Lori was working quite hard in her field of expertise. At the very least, she had a clear understanding of all potential enemies.
"… Just by digging out one's own eyeballs and offering them to a God?"
Rorschach was filled with mockery and disbelief. How could such a thing possibly be a Righteous God?
[That's nothing. The universe is vast, and there are many types of life. In the eyes of certain intelligent life forms, even our daily meals are a great sin. Digging out one or two eyeballs is just a normal part of our daily lives.]
"Just keep making things up."
Rorschach shrugged and relaxed a little. It was quite interesting to make things up with his younger sister. This was his final adjustment before a battle to the death.
[I'm not making things up. No matter what, I've seriously read the dictionary of outer space forms. In the eyes of plant-type intelligent life forms, our act of eating vegetables can directly lead to war. And in some star systems, organs can be disassembled to begin with. Choosing eyeballs and limbs that have the most functions according to the weather and today's task is just a type of living wisdom. The Eye of Wisdom is a native of that star field.]
Rorschach was stunned. This was beyond the scope of casual chit-chat. His sister was not the type to talk nonsense at critical moments. Was there a hidden meaning in her words?
[Information about the Evil Gods, even if it's just a superficial description, is still a special level pollutant that's poisonous to mortals. It's only spread among the Gods, and there's a limit to how much it can be stored. It can only be deciphered when necessary. Now that we've encountered such a troublesome thing and know nothing about the enemy, we're just sending you to your deaths.]
What Luo Li meant was that the knowledge of these Evil Gods could only be deciphered when facing them. And now, it was the "necessary" time.
Rorschach nodded silently. Facing the unfolding index finger of the Evil God, a huge metal tower gradually rose from the ground behind him.
He gently raised his hands, and a metallic horizon appeared not far in front of him.
One meter, two meters, three meters. Metal obstacles kept rising. There were horse traps, horse tripwires, and short stakes. The final barrier was a metal city wall.
A tremendous amount of divine power was expended. Now that he had confirmed that he was facing a mortal enemy, there was no need to continue attacking. A defensive formation was necessary.
[… There are no rules to the form of life. Any researcher who tries to find the rules of life in multiple dimensions will end up going insane. The birth and evolution of life is greatly affected by the local environment, natural factors, and random factors. However, there are some paths that have a high probability of overlapping …]
Knowledge about the Evil Gods echoed in Rorschach's mind. The forbidden knowledge made Rorschach more and more understand just what sort of illegal existence this monster before him was.
[… Eyes, or light-sensitive organs, are necessary for evolution in a world with light. Life forms that can sense light will be able to sense even further areas in such an environment. They'll have a great advantage in harvesting prey or avoiding danger. Once a life form that can sense light, it's highly likely that they'll be able to survive the natural process of elimination …]
"I'll leave it to you, Ariel! May's Rain! "
Rorschach didn't stop. The tall tower behind him was now fully unfurled. However, nobody would treat this tower as a harmless lighthouse. The dozens of steel cannon barrels were a completely abnormal product of the Church of Multiple Turrets.
In a way, the addition of Ariel and her May's Rain made up for the Game Church's weakness — heavy cannon fire.
As the May Squadron mages' souls gradually entered the tower, the heavy cannon fire was ready to fire at any moment.
[… Wisdom is actually just the experience of living. Since you have eyes that others don't have, you can see further than others, and your senses are sharper than other life forms. Naturally, you'll have a higher survival rate. The Eye of Wisdom is actually "the oldest existence who has the most light-sensitive organs and can see the furthest" …]
Every word contained knowledge about the Evil Gods. As Lori explained, the Evil God's incarnation kept roaring as if it was fighting against something.
Seeing this scene, Rorschach's knowledge about the Evil Gods flashed through his mind. He instantly understood what was happening.
The Evil Gods were being defined, described, and transformed by the world's laws. They were being feared by the unknown and indescribable. They were becoming something that could be described and sensed. They were becoming … possibly destroyed!
The New Gods and Evil Gods were mortal enemies. This scene explained why they were mortal enemies.
Ordinary people would only be able to see the distorted Eye of Wisdom. However, in Rorschach's eyes, after Lori "defined" the Eye of Wisdom, countless lines of laws were fighting against the Eye of Wisdom, turning the unknown black hole into something that could be seen and touched.
[… The Eye of Wisdom is the combination of "the experience of seeing (wisdom)" and "the way of seeing (eye)." The concept of "seeing" is the Eye of Wisdom's main body, its strength, and weakness …]
At the same time, my divine power reserves suddenly decreased by a large amount.
[… I'll leave the rest to you, Big Brother …]
Rorschach could only smile wryly upon hearing this. Everything else was easy to deal with, but what would he do now that his divine power reserves were gone?
But the next instant, Rorschach felt a warm sensation circulating within his body. His originally exhausted stamina and life force were actually recovering at a high speed. Even his divine power was mysteriously being restored.
Rorschach turned around in astonishment to see the magical heavy cannons firing at him. But, even further away, something seemed to be helping them.
The other ambushers were also receiving help.
Their wounds were speedily recovering. Not only were they recovering their depleted mana reserves, they even exceeded their limits. This miraculous scene was both astonishing and delightful.
