Before Ritual, Raphael also prayed to "Ancient Sun God" and "Evernight Goddess", which was equivalent to another insurance for this Ritual.
After finishing all this, Raphael lay down in the coffin that had been rearranged.
Southern Continent's coffin is similar to the coffin in Raphael's impression. The outside is a layer of stone coffin, and the inside is a human-shaped inner coffin made of gold.
Some time ago, Raphael sent many exquisite humanoids Marionette to clean Royal Tomb inside and out, especially the inner coffin made of gold. He even sold the previous inner coffin and "kneaded" a new one with enough gold.
Because during the Ritual process, the internal organs of Raphael must be placed in the corresponding area of the inner coffin.
Raphael Although he is not mysophobic, he is not willing to put his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys where others have put his internal organs before.
After a final inspection of the preparations, Raphael was lying in the inner coffin, surrounded by humanoid Marionette, who came around, cut open Raphael's abdominal cavity, and took out his internal organs one by one.
These humanoids Marionette were previously produced by Raphael for use in the Marionette drama. They are almost as tall as real people. Even though they are exquisite, their facial features look a bit dull.
In an ancient tomb, I was lying in a coffin. The surroundings were a little dim, but I could clearly see a group of Marionette with dull expressions performing vivisection on me.
This scene will make anyone with a slightly inferior mental quality faint from shock.
But Raphael has experienced so much in the extraordinary world, so this thing will definitely not scare him.
In addition, the pain of being disemboweled was nothing to him, but as the internal organs were taken out one by one, he always felt "empty".
In fact, at the level of Sequence 1, his body has already become insubstantial. If it were an ordinary "Abomination", he would have to find a way to make his body solid again.
But Raphael is easier to deal with. He has the "body" Authority, which can return his body to normal.
As Marionette took out Raphael's heart and put it into a clay pot, Raphael could no longer feel any life in his body.
But this level is nothing to a Sequence 1, let alone die from it.
At this time, Marionette brought a hammer and chisel, opened Raphael's head, took out the brain, and cut open the main artery in the neck to bleed.
After the blood was drained, Marionette over there had crushed Raphael's brain and poured it into the channel of the inner coffin along with the blood. The removed internal organs were also placed in corresponding positions, simulating the internal circulation system of the occult.
Raphael only feels a little weak, but he is not dead yet.
He allowed Marionette to put bandages on him and made a Mummy----
Of course, there are other steps in the production process of Mummy, but these are the main steps, and it is enough to use them on Advancement Ritual.
Because he "had no brain", after reaching this step, Raphael was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the next step was to kill himself.
At this time, "Lord of Evil Desires" appeared and released a vicious Curse towards Raphael. Raphael did not make any resistance or dodge, and allowed this Curse to kill him.
"Lord of Evil Desires" is his Clone, which of course counts as killing himself.
This is very convenient for Raphael, otherwise killing himself would be another problem.
At this time, Raphael entered a state similar to Wraith, and he used to be "Wraith", so when he reached this state, he could still maintain enough sanity.
This proves from the side how difficult it is to kill Beyonder of Pathway. The body has been "hollowed out" and Spirit Body is also dead, but it can still maintain the "Wraith" state for a period of time.
If under normal circumstances, after Beyonder Characteristic is separated from Spirit Body and the body, the balance of the "Wraith" state will be broken, and then it will die completely. However, there is a high probability that it will become Evil Spirit. If you are lucky, you can still maintain a certain degree of sanity.
"Lord of Evil Desires" moved quickly. Before Beyonder Characteristic began to precipitate, he prepared the "Bound"
The patient "Potion" was placed into the abdominal cavity of Raphael through the bandage.
In this case, based on the law of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics, Characteristic in Raphael will surround Potion, and the precipitation process will basically not be completely completed.
Through "inner vision", Raphael could see that in his chest, a small, strange-looking tree-like human figure was spinning around a Evil sensational rose.
That rose is Potion of "Chained". Its appearance is a rose with spikes surrounded by layers of dark and scary thorns and yellow oily bandages.
Then "Lord of Evil Desires" followed the plan and closed the inner coffin and applied a seal, then closed the outer sarcophagus and applied a seal.
Raphael, "Demon Personality" and "Oldest One Personality" are inside the seal, working together to complete Ritual, and "Zhou Fei Personality" is inside "Dark Hut", quietly protecting Royal Tomb.
At this time, a symbol with Pupil-less Eye as the main body, representing "Fool", appeared above Royal Tomb. This symbol emitted a light cyan light and covered the sarcophagus.
"Lord of Evil Desires" saw that a certain Distortion seemed to have occurred in the space around the sarcophagus, but this Distortion quickly disappeared and returned to normal.
He knew very well that "Fool" had "Fooling" time in a small area. The flow rate of time outside the sarcophagus was different from the flow rate of time inside the sarcophagus. One day outside and one year inside.
After the symbol representing Fool disappeared, a quiet and lofty force descended outside Royal Tomb. The entire Royal Tomb became illusory and was hidden by "Evernight Goddess".
"Lord of Evil Desires" sitting in "Dark Hut" breathed a sigh of relief. Even if "Mother Tree of Desire" noticed it, he would not be able to find it for a while. Now all he has to do is wait.
Raphael inside the sarcophagus initially said in kind: Just treat this hundred years as a time to have a good rest and sleep.
As a result, not long after being sealed inside, "Chained" Potion began to release Curse and mutations. Raphael had to fight against the damage released by Potion.
Fortunately, the Curse released by Potion is not very strong, so as long as you deal with it carefully, there will be no problem.
But in that case, there would be no way to rest.
Thinking of not being able to sleep for the next hundred years, the dead Raphael felt a little desperate.
Such boring days gradually become torturous. At this time, Raphael has only reached Consciousness. What a long process it is to reach a hundred years.
Although he had some plans for the problems encountered in Advancement Ritual before, it was only after he actually started Ritual that he realized how much long suffering can test one's will.
In addition to ensuring that "the remaining spirit and will will not die for at least a hundred years", we must also ensure that we do not undergo qualitative changes.
Change, not be affected by Potion leading to psychological Distortion, nor become completely indifferent and inhumane due to a long period of time.
Thinking of this, Raphael Consciousness had to find something to do for himself. He first began to imagine that he would continue to travel around Southern and Northern Continents on the "Mobile Castle", bringing all kinds of weird and extraordinary events to people, and taking pleasure in it.
But as I thought about it, I felt that this kind of obscene idea was very meaningless.
The three personalities tried playing cards, script killing, etc., but they got tired of playing for a few years. Of course, he felt that several years had passed, but in fact it had only been a few days outside.
You have to find something to do or think about that can focus your energy more.
So Raphael thought of perfecting the fourth stage of "Union with the Dao", and just used "Oldest One Personality" to practice.
After about ten years, Raphael has been able to easily peel off the Divinity in terms of "spiritual residue" and isolate this type of Divinity.
"Oldest One Personality" has become very independent and will hardly affect the other three personalities.
Raphael and "Oldest One Personality" have said that even if they complete the fourth stage of "Union with the Dao", they will not seal him.
Raphael has no intention of defaulting on this matter. It's not that he suddenly became kind-hearted, but "Oldest One Personality"
It will still be useful in the next fight against "Mother Tree of Desire". If you seal "Oldest One Personality" again, it will be difficult to use it.
Raphael doesn't care, he is thick-skinned enough, and he will have the nerve to ask "Oldest One Personality" for help when the time comes, but
"Oldest One Personality" is impersonal and not stupid. How could he come to help obediently?
Since "Oldest One Personality" is basically harmless, let's maintain the status quo.
After finishing this matter, Raphael's condition has improved a lot. Even though he has been trapped in the sarcophagus for more than 20 years, his humanity has returned a lot.
But only a quarter of the time has passed, what should we do with three-quarters of the time left?
Fortunately, Raphael soon found a "new topic": you can try to peel off or isolate the "rule type" Divinity.
That is, the cold rules in this Universe and Authority itself.
This is actually a paradox. If it is completely stripped away, Raphael will not be able to use the corresponding Authority, but if no action is taken, it will still be eroded by these Divinity.
The most effective way at present is to have enough anchors and strengthen human nature to fight against Divinity. Raphael began to wonder if there are any new ideas.
He called this "problem" the fifth stage of "Union with the Dao". The difficulty of this stage increased exponentially because the power of "Dark Hut" could no longer be used at this stage.
Because fundamentally speaking, "Dark Hut" is something that is directly split from "Oldest One". Its power actually contains extremely high Divinity parts, which makes it difficult for him to distinguish which ones should be isolated? Which ones should be used?
So it is better to simply use your own mental strength to complete this step - or to find the balance.
Raphael Don't be afraid of difficulties, because there is plenty of time to try.
"Lord of Evil Desires" has been staring at Royal Tomb. Time flies, and one hundred days have passed quickly.
There was no movement at all in the sarcophagus, but "Lord of Evil Desires" was not in a hurry, because it would be fine if he stayed for ten, eight, or even dozens of days.
The important thing is that Raphael inside feels that the time is right, and then starts promotion.
But at this moment, "Lord of Evil Desires" felt the gaze from Astral World.
That gaze was peering around Royal Tomb, seemingly looking for something.
"Lord of Evil Desires" immediately understood that "Mother Tree of Desire" had noticed it, which also meant that Raphael in the sarcophagus was already trying to get promoted.
Because Potion has always been in Raphael's body, as long as Raphael feels that Ritual is appropriate and begins to integrate Potion, then the promotion process will officially begin.
"Lord of Evil Desires" did nothing, just waiting for that sight to peek around.
Because once he does something, it will be easily exposed. Raphael still trusts "Evernight Goddess" when it comes to hiding things.
Astral World in.
The six God are now working hard to support Barrier. From just now, "Mother Tree of Desire" has been frantically impacting Barrier.
Fortunately, Barrier is here, "Mother Tree of Desire" has not yet been able to accurately locate the location of Raphael.
Fortunately, Barrier is here, and Six Gods can withstand the attack of Great Old One.
Among them, only "Evernight Goddess" knew what was going on. Although the other five God did not understand what was going on, they could not just watch "Mother Tree of Desire" impact Barrier, but they did nothing.
As for the other party's purpose, we can investigate it later.
Southern Continent in Royal Tomb.
The sarcophagus seemed to be alive, and began to beat one after another, as if there was a Monster struggling crazily inside.
"Lord of Evil Desires" simply descended into Royal Tomb, lest it be too late to descend its power if he needs to take action.
Boom~
The lid of the sarcophagus flew up, and because of the force of the flight, it was directly set on the top of Royal Tomb!
The humanoid inner coffin inside stood up on its own and let out a roar of Affliction.
The promotion of Raphael has come to the most critical moment. "Chained", as the name suggests, requires the heart of Restraint, Restraint Spirit Body, Restraint body. And the corresponding Authority of "Restraint" also includes "release", to release emotions, release Desire, release Corruption.
Among them, "Restraint" is very despairing, making Raphael feel like he is in a deep well and will never see the light of day. "Release" is indifferent, as if all the enthusiasm has been burned out, and Desire has no life left.
This Authority is more like walking a tightrope in the promotion process. Whether "Restraint" did something wrong or "released" something wrong, Raphael's spirit will be hit hard.
No matter whether you were demanding yourself according to the thoughts of "Temperance Faction" or "Indulgence Faction" before, now it will be a Catastrophe, because that means that either "Restraint" is too much, or "releasing" is too much.
Fortunately, Raphael noticed this pitfall very early, and used a principle similar to "yin and yang" to ask himself, so he quickly found a balance, and Ritual passed the most thrilling part smoothly.
Just when Raphael was about to breathe a sigh of relief, several Vines with spikes suddenly stretched out from the void, winding towards Raphael like poisonous snakes.
Raphael quickly used Spirituality as a seal to block it, and used Spirituality to pull against these Vines!
At the same time, ugly branches sprouted from Raphael's body, and long, spiky tongues sprouted from the branches.
Raphael's face is gradually becoming more feminine!
High in the sky, there was a vicious gaze looking at Raphael.
"Mother Tree of Desire" found Raphael!
