Chapter 1261 Mother of Monsters (Ⅱ)
Having said this, Sir Custis turned his head and glanced at the garden gate.
Joan followed his line of sight and saw Heimdall, his heart skipped a beat. He vaguely guessed that the legendary monk might not only be the Lord's bodyguard, but also his "nurse".
In case the Holy Seal of Different Sending gets out of control and the Lord himself is powerless to resist, Heimdall will take action to subdue it.
Joan naturally recalled the scene when Rebecca's Strange Seal ran out of control, which still scares him.
Sir Custis's holy seal is obviously more powerful than his daughter's, and its destructive power is also more terrifying. If it gets out of control, only a legendary powerhouse like Heimdall can hope to subdue it.
"In order to prevent the Strange Seal from being too strong, I had to reduce my diet as much as possible, and the nutrition I took in was barely enough for me to survive. In this way, the Stable Seal could not absorb enough energy from my body to promote evolution." Ka said Sir Stice flatly.
Looking at his skinny appearance, Qiao An felt pity in his heart.
Sir Custis said it easily, but the consequences of years of starvation have been vividly reflected in his frail body. The price of suppressing the evolution of the different hair seal is to destroy his own health.
"Okay, kid, I've said a lot about me, now let's talk about you, can you show me your holy seal?"
Joan shrunk his neck a bit awkwardly, but under Sir Custis' soft gaze, he still restrained his embarrassment, turned around silently, pressed down his collar, revealing the deformed eyeball behind his neck.
Sir Custis stared at it for a few seconds, nodded and said: "The first seal, the initial state."
"The first holy seal?" Joan turned around and asked curiously, "You mean the eye that grows behind the neck?"
"That's right, the 'Different Eye Seal' ranks first among the top ten holy seals bestowed on the children of the 'Mother of Monsters' Ekadna. Of course, this is just a serial code and has no direct relationship with the strength of the holy seal. .”
Sir Custis' inadvertent answer revealed a lot of information, which made Joan even more curious.
"My lord, is the 'Mother of Monsters' the source of all the blood of the Holy Seal, that is, the 'Holy Mother' my grandfather mentioned?"
"It's her, a weird and evil demigod, whose real name is Ekadna." Sir Custis sneered, "This evil god calls herself the 'Holy Mother', and her followers also call their idol by that. It is really a great irony and insult to the originally noble word 'Holy Mother'!"
Closing his eyes and calming down his anger, Sir Custis continued, "Joan, I think you've heard about what happened to me when I was young, so I don't mind Repeat."
"The biggest mistake in my life was that I was bewitched by the evil god Ekadna and accepted her seal, so I was cursed, and I still can't get rid of it."
"My lord, you once won fame in the war with the Holy Seal of Different Hair, why do you hate the 'Mother of Monsters' who gave you the Holy Seal of Different Hair so much?" Joan asked in a low voice.
"Because I found that she was just using me, trying to use me as a puppet, using my hands to perform bloody sacrificial rituals in the world, so that she could become a true god."
"The things Ekadna asked me to do are too evil and cruel, and have exceeded my bottom line as a human being. I can't accept them anyway."
"When I chose to stick to my principles, I was doomed to betray Ekadna, and she would never tolerate a rebellious voter alive, so the Strange Seal changed from a blessing to a curse, and I always want to They took my life, and even wanted to kill my relatives and friends, driving me to go mad in extreme grief and pain, and lose my nature."
Listening to Sir Custis' narration, Joan's heart was filled with turmoil.
"Fifteen years ago, the 'Mother of Monsters' tried to enshrine the gods, but because of my betrayal, and your grandfather and your parents inadvertently broke into the sacrificial site, destroying her ritual of enshrining the gods, resulting in her years Efforts are in vain.”
"However, Ekadna did not give up her ambition to become a god because of this. Over the years, she has been secretly expanding her power and creating more descendants with holy seals."
"Unfortunately, as far as I know, Joan, people like you and me who refuse to become monsters are just special cases. Most of the 'Sons of Ekadna' failed to resist the temptation of the Holy Seal and eventually became 'Mother of Monsters' All these years, they have been actively working for their 'mother' to become a true god, compared to there are too few 'monster sons' who are willing to stand by our side."
Sir Custis gave a wry smile, and then a firm light appeared in his eyes again.
"Fortunately, Ekadna had high hopes for me back then, and poured too much divine power into me as a voter. My betrayal caused her to suffer severe backlash, and she has not yet fully recovered."
"Unless Ekadna kills me and takes back the divine power in my body, I won't be able to become a true god."
"Joan, you may have doubts. As a majestic demigod, Ekadna has so many tyrannical heirs at her disposal. Why can't she get rid of me, an old sick ghost who is only half breathed?"
Joan nodded quickly, and the Sir had indeed guessed the doubts in his heart.
Ser Custis smiled queerly.
"Because after I betrayed Ekadna, I was lucky enough to get the protection of a goddess."
"My lord, Timothy, is the 'Master of Destiny' and the 'Queen of Karma'. She is not comparable to a half-baked evil god like Ekadna."
"Thanks to the favor of my lord, God has given me the grace to protect me from the evil power of Ekadna, and my old and weak body has become a battlefield for the confrontation between the two divine powers, good and evil. The battle in my body is still uncertain..."
Sir Custis's words were very cryptic, but Joann didn't have a hard time hearing the meaning behind the words.
Evil God Ekadna's carefully selected voters should not easily betray her, but Sir Custis dealt her a heavy blow. This unreasonable accident may not be entirely the choice of Sir Custis' personal will, and the manipulation of the "Queen of Karma" is probably behind it.
If Timothy doesn't want to see Ekadna become a true god, then trying to win over the most important voters of the opponent to her camp is undoubtedly a brilliant way to draw fire from the bottom.
From a realistic point of view, in the contest between the two goddesses of good and evil, Timothy, the "Queen of Karma", is still superior.
Joan turned to look at the garden gate.
The legendary monk Heimdall is a devout follower of Timothy. He is willing to serve as a humble servant beside Sir Custis, presumably following the revelation of the goddess of fate.
