Mythical Creature gained humanity because of his own experience...
Christina first glanced at his sister Dorothy who immediately lowered his head to think, and then looked at Krismona who asked the question, feeling a little confused.
Because the answer to this question seems obvious:
The "Catastrophe" Demoness in front of me is the son of two Fourth Epoch's God. He was born with the Beyonder Characteristic and personality of Sequence 2, which absolutely meets the definition of "born Mythical Creature".
And now He appears to be full of humanity, no different from other Angel that Tina has encountered.
Doesn't this mean that even Mythical Creature, who was born with only divinity, can gradually acquire humanity?
Could it be that this Demoness is testing my and Dorothy's observation and induction abilities... She wanted to answer directly, but she felt that things were not that simple.
In the final analysis, Tina still doesn't quite understand the specific definitions of human nature and divinity. Her only clues are the few words spoken by Anne Gustav, who was also born in Fourth Epoch, and the occult knowledge that Genie instilled in her. Therefore, even when answering the first question, her understanding of human nature and divinity is only superficial.
At this time, Dorothy also raised his head, as if he was helping his sister, and as if he had more doubts in his thinking, and asked Krismona:
"Can you explain the definition of human nature?"
"Of course," Krismona smiled and replied softly, "But before you can understand human nature, you must know what true divinity is."
"I think you have all heard the saying that everything has divinity. This is not a general talk in mysticism, but a summary and summary. Because all extraordinary characteristics and extraordinary powers come from the original creator, as well as His split personality and the children he gave birth to. In a narrow sense, these great beings that originally existed in the universe can be called gods, and the spirit they left behind is the most substantial divinity that all extraordinary people have to fight against."
I have never heard this sentence... Tina retorted from the bottom of her heart. For some reason, the legend of Original Creator made her feel a little restless, so she asked as soon as the other party finished speaking:
"Is this the kind of divinity that Mythical Creature is born with?"
Krismona shook his head and said:
"No, what they, or rather we, are fighting against is the divinity that originates from Creator, from Oldest One and those Great Existence.
"It's unexpected, right? This kind of true divinity is not a good thing for us. It will make us extreme, crazy, chaotic, and even give birth to another will in the body, gradually no longer being ourselves.
"At this point, there is no essential difference between my parents, the two True Gods and me. They also need to fight against the spiritual residue of Original Creator, and against the will originating from the apex of the two Pathways. Compared with other Gods, they have bigger problems because of the Pathway they chose.
"In this process, because most of the energy and emotions are used to fight and suppress the true divinity, the indifference, ruthlessness, or some kind of paranoia and cruelty displayed are the 'divinity' displayed by Mythical Creature and God."
While explaining, Krismona walked to "Night Pillars" that was transformed from his body, and reached out to touch the obsidian surface that was still smooth after thousands of years.
So, did His parents become more indifferent, paranoid, and even eventually killed their daughter because of some special experiences? Tina sighed for a while and then asked:
"What about human nature?"
Retracting his arm from Night Pillars, this Demoness of Catastrophe smiled slyly and asked:
"Why is human nature called human nature?"
Huh? Tina was stunned for a moment, while Dorothy beside her immediately reacted, frowned and replied:
"Because it's defined by human emotions?"
"Smart girl," Krismona nodded slightly, "Even Mythical Creature, and even those born Great Existence, have the instinct to survive, value themselves, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is the basis of self-understanding and the driving force for every living being to survive. These thoughts and desires are also included in the definition of "human nature", but humans usually regard the performance of Mythical Creature who only possesses these cognitions, or has been driven by these cognitions and desires, and has lost a higher level of humanity, as the influence of divinity."
Tina suddenly realized that this was the divinity she had known before. After the other party explained, this vague cognition was divided into two parts, including the spirits left by Original Creator and Great Existence, and the superficial divinity displayed by God and Mythical Creature in order to fight against this spirit.
"So, the higher level of humanity they lack is the humanity we understand?"
she asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, humans have many words of praise for it, such as courage, sacrifice, justice, and mercy, which are regarded as the shining point of the human spirit. Of course, negative cowardice, selfishness, and ruthlessness are also part of human nature. Whether good or bad, they are the strongest emotions that burst out in short life. As time is extended, these hot emotions will gradually cool down and gradually return to the basic level of human nature."
Krismona replied.
The strongest emotion in a short life... Tina finally understood what this born Mythical Creature meant.
Because he was born as Angel and possesses the most powerful strength that is difficult for ordinary people to understand, Mythical Creature has not gone through the fragile stage of needing help and support from others, and it is difficult to realize such fiery emotions. The role of this high-level human nature, even if it exists, is the most basic instinct, and it has to confront the Mental Imprint of Original Creator and Great Existence in Beyonder Characteristic, showing "divine nature" such as indifference and selfishness.
In order for them to gain true and widely recognized "human nature", they must be brought closer to ordinary people and pass through the initial stage of shaping their character and cognition.
So the answer to the third question is... Tina thought about it, glanced sideways at his sister Dorothy, and solemnly replied to Krismona under her encouraging eyes:
"I believe that as long as the way of birth and growth experience are appropriate, the born Mythical Creature can gain a wide range of cognitive 'humanity'.
"You should be an example of success."
After speaking, she looked at Krismona nervously, waiting for her evaluation of the answer to her last question.
And this Demoness, who is both charming and pure, charming and cute, just smiled slightly and said:
"I have gradually learned these beautiful things from observing human beings during my thousands of years at Underground Catacombs, and there is far more than one Mythical Creature who is more humane than me.
"You passed the test of the questions, and I hope you will remember the answers and truly believe they are correct."
He nodded to Tina, and without any other movement, the darkness around the three of them shattered little by little, like a glass curtain wall shattering into pieces, scattering Star's little bits of light.
They returned to reality from Mirror World.
The slight sound of glass breaking made Tina look around in a panic, and found that the three of them were still next to "Night Pillars" in the empty hall, but the Trier University student who took them to the depths of Underground Catacombs had disappeared.
"He was deceived by Mirror Magic and has left. I will be responsible for sending him back to the ground." Krismona glanced at the stone stairs leading to the fourth floor behind Night Pillars. "You can go to the deeper tomb."
"Thank you."
Tina expressed his heartfelt thanks, then Fell short grabbed Dorothy, and the two stepped onto the stone staircase that was too clean to look like an ancient Fourth Epoch building, heading towards the last seal of "Genie".
Until he left the dim light range of the candle, the white-robed Demoness still stood there, looking at the direction in which the two girls were leaving.
The most obvious difference between the fourth floor of the tomb and the three floors above is that there are no longer countless skeletons piled on the side of the road. It looks more spacious and cleaner, but also more peaceful like death.
Walking in the deserted passage, Tina felt that the candle in his hand was his only source of warmth, and in the darkness further away, there seemed to be countless human-eating monsters lurking, but they were afraid of the light and did not dare to surround them.
"Genie, Genie? In order to relieve the growing fear in her heart, she called out to the sealed being, "Can you feel the specific location of the seal?" "
"Of course, I already feel closer and closer, just one step away from true freedom."
The majestic voice was a little cheerful at this time.
Is He really, as Anne said, only divine but without humanity... The doubts accumulated in the previous questions and answers have been lingering in Tina's heart, making her unable to help but ask:
"Genie, are you human?"
This question silenced the other party briefly, and also made Dorothy, who was leading the way towards the depths of the tomb, turn his head.
"Did you think I wasn't listening to the 'test' that Demoness put on you just now? "Genie suddenly laughed, and the rough voice echoed in the minds of the two girls, "He explained it too simply because there were some things he couldn't say, but even the born Great Existence has a basic foundation and is determined by others. Human nature exists as defined by human beings, but for them it is just a survival instinct and a certain code of conduct, just like I will also pursue freedom, so I seek to cooperate with you, I will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, I will bow my head in the face of the strong, and of course I will abide by the contract and will not violate it easily."
Hearing the answer, Tina felt a little relieved.
Towards the end of the journey, what she was most worried about was of course helping Genie to lift the seal. After gaining freedom, the other party regretted and failed to fulfill his promise. As ordinary people, she and Dorothy lacked the means to counterattack.
That Demoness Angel obviously knows something. I hope He will make an accurate judgment on this born Mythical Creature before letting us into the fourth floor... Tina muttered, holding up the candle and walking towards the destination, which is the direction where Genie's feeling is getting stronger.
After passing several ancient tombs, the two came to a collapsed hall. There was a downward slope in one corner. The slope was not paved with bricks, only dark red soil. The interior was filled with mist, as if it led to an abyss.
Following Genie's instructions, the last seal is just below the ramp.
Tina and Dorothy looked at each other, held each other's hands tightly, and stepped onto the ramp together under the candlelight.
To their surprise, the slope became gentler as it went downwards, and the left and right sides expanded rapidly, quickly turning into a dirt field with no visible edges.
The gray-white mist became thicker and thicker, and the interior seemed to emit light, allowing the two of them to see farther away without relying on candles.
It was a city shrouded in fog, with only a faint outline visible.
"There used to be Trier of Fourth Epoch. It was a scary zone that even Angel and God didn't dare to enter easily..." Genie suddenly sighed, "Of course, all kinds of pollution there have been removed, and it is physically connected to this Underground Catacombs. Although there is not much danger, there are many secrets hidden, so there are more than one Angel guarding it, and the one you just met is just one of them."
No wonder Ms. Krismona wants to prevent Underground Catacombs tourists from entering the fourth floor... If Tina had some enlightenment, Dorothy asked in his mind:
"Are they all born Mythical Creature?"
"It should be Krismona who is on duty this month." Genie replied, and immediately urged the two of them, "Don't worry so much, just put me on the stone altar there."
Tina looked intently into the thick fog and noticed a stone altar about 1 meter high placed abruptly on the empty dirt ground. Three ritual candles were fixed with melted wax on top, and some sacrificial supplies that had not yet rotted or deteriorated were placed on top.
Engraved on the altar is a familiar symbol Tina, which is "Fool" composed of Pupil-less Eye and Contorted Lines.
Sure enough, even if this guy wasn't sealed by Fool, he still has something to do with that God...
Tina carefully took out "Magic Wishing Lamp" from the satchel and placed Golden Lamp with her body temperature on the stone platform.
In an instant, the surrounding gray mist rushed towards the altar as if being attracted, wrapping up the Sealed Artifact.
Dorothy quietly held "Arrodes" and activated this side of Magic Mirror with three gentle strokes. Tina held up the satchel as a weapon and blocked it in front of his sister.
If something really happened, I, the one who caused the problem, could still help her block it... Tina had just prepared for the worst, and the shrouding fog became condensed, like two giant hands. One was grabbing "Magic Wishing Lamp", and the other was groping for a moment on the lid of the lamp kettle, and then pulled it open.
Golden and bluish light gushed out like water, and a ray of golden light was projected on Gray Fog, turning into a human form. It was the "Genie" that Tina saw in the basement of his home today.
The figure shook his head and focused his eyes as if they were real. He looked at Grey Mist, the altar below, and scanned the outline of the illusory city in the distance. Finally, he looked at Tina and Dorothy, who were on full alert, and uttered a majestic and majestic voice:
"Haha, finally, all the seals have been released and I am free!
"And you summoned me to fulfill one of my wishes."
What? Tina stared, ignoring his vigilance, and couldn't help shouting loudly:
"Where is your contract spirit?"
"Huh, the spirit of contract? Having recovered my strength, I have a hundred ways to confuse your wishes, Distortion The agreement between us..."
Genie sneered and put his hands on his hips, dismissing the promise he had made before.
But his eyes stayed on Grey Mist, who seemed to have some changes around him. After a while, he restrained his arrogance, his tone became a little lower, and he continued:
"Of course, I just gave an example, and the 'code of conduct' I mentioned before is true...
"Tell me, what is your wish?"
