Tick tock!
The silver pocket watch stopped turning.
All pointers return to the original origin, completing the last cycle.
The dagger pierced into the heart of the hive.
The silver pocket watch, like a sacrificial tribute, lay quietly in its arms.
Yvette crossed her hands, closed her eyes reverently, and made a gesture of prayer, her whole body surging with spiritual energy, forming a huge circle: "This is the ability that I developed specially for you, the ring of time-Eye Ring of Russia!"
In Greek mythology, there is such a story.
Sisyphus, the son of Aioros, is the wisest man in the world. He claims that even the wisdom of God is far less than half of his.
With his clever mind, Sisyphus established the kingdom of Corinth, and even later he was bold enough to coax and kidnap the **** of death with tricks, causing the world to lose order and no one to die, thus offending the wrath of the gods.
In the end, in order to punish Sisyphus, the gods came up with a brilliant solution.
That is to order Sisyphus to push a huge round rolling rock from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the top of the mountain, but because the rolling stone is too heavy, Sisyphus will be exhausted every time before reaching the top of the mountain. , so that the boulder rolls down from the top of the mountain.
So, Sisyphus' punishment is.
Day after day, year after year, repeating and endlessly pushing the boulder.
Sisyphus' life, in such an ineffective and hopeless labor, was slowly consumed until the end of death.
The hive, like Sisyphus.
They all think that they are very smart and can play with everything in the world, but they don't know the serious consequences of their randomness.
Sisyphus deceived and kidnapped the **** of death, resulting in no more death in the world. Losing the fear of death, human beings have lost infinite possibilities and become a mess of running books.
The gods punished Sisyphus by subjecting him to endless torment.
The Ring of Time - The Ring of Aeolus!
It was a high-level spell that she specially developed. With the power of Fullbring, it was only to give the hive the punishment it deserved, like Sisyphus, the never-ending torture.
There are four necessary conditions for the casting of the technique.
Condition 1: The person who bears this technique must be in a state of absolute weakness, otherwise, once the Reiki counterattack is used, the technique will be counterattacked. Depending on the severity, the practitioner will lose dozens or even hundreds of years of life.
Condition 2: The entire surgical procedure is extremely cumbersome, requiring three complete time nodes: a starting point, a passing point, and an ending point. Each time the pocket watch pointer circles, a time node will be recorded.
Condition 3: The 'time node' recorded by the pocket watch needs to leave a deep impression on the subconscious mind of the person who is affected by the operation.
Condition 4: For a complete spell, a perfect closed loop needs to be constructed, otherwise the logic chain will collapse.
The activation of the three pocket watches symbolizes three time nodes.
In the end, the entire cycle was completed, and Husward stripped the hive ability, making it an unprecedented weakening, and achieving all the conditions for the cycle.
"In eternal torment, repent of your sins."
Right below Yvette's prayer, a huge python appeared.
The huge python surrounds the beehive, and then the giant snake devours its own tail in one bite, forming the circular symbol of ouroboros.
"Aeolus...?"
When the hive was dying, it was unusually calm, no longer so violent, just looked at Yvette quietly, a smile slowly appeared on his face, implied expectation and hope, and asked: "Then Am I... your... Sisyphus?"
Yvette was silent for a moment, her calm eyes finally showed ripples, she nodded slightly, and said softly, "Yes, you are my Sisyphus."
"My dear mother..."
A glimmer of light appeared in the bottom of Honeycomb's eyes, with a certain look of Qi, and asked again: "If I wasn't what I am now, and I never wanted to devour you, would you... admit me?"
"Maybe... so..."
Facing those pure eyes, Yvette was in a state of confusion for a while, and she didn't know how to answer.
"enough......"
Honeycomb slowly closed his eyes, as if he had lifted all the burdens: "This answer, for me, is enough."
The circle formed by the Ouroboros is gradually shrinking, almost swallowing the hive.
Just before it disappears.
Hive suddenly opened his eyes, exhausted his last strength, and asked, "If there is really an afterlife, mother... are you still willing to accept me?"
Yvette was startled for half a second.
By the time she reacted, the hive had been swallowed by the Ouroboros, and with the last regret, she did not hear that answer.
...
...
...
Drizzle, misty mist.
The hive seemed to shake suddenly, like waking up from a nightmare, there was a trace of fear on his face, the pupils kept the needles small, and they trembled uncontrollably.
Before he could think about it, when the nightmare was real or not, a fierce punching style swept through like a raging wave.
Snapped!
Hive's head was blown off with a punch.
The atmosphere oscillated and set off a rolling gust of wind, and the fist wind swept across the ground, ploughing a 100-meter-long gully.
Bucky, wearing a metal finger tiger, kept his punching motion and stared at it viciously.
Almost subconsciously, the headless hive punched Bucky with a backhand, but the familiar feeling of deja vu, like the scene in a nightmare, made him suddenly panic, and then he froze in place.
"good chance!"
Peggy found a flaw, and although she didn't know why, she still activated the Full Reveal technique, and her dirty boots stomped on the ground, rushing towards the hive in the roaring air waves.
boom!
The huge impact was like a train, directly smashing the body of the hive, and countless parasites scattered out, covering the nearby mud.
"No...impossible!"
The hive summoned all the parasites and instantly fused back to their human form. Those nightmare images flashed in my mind, and a terrible guess gradually emerged.
But the next moment, the man appeared.
The man was wearing a white military coat and a snow-white pentagram cape. His five fingers looked like a huge mountain, with thunderous sounds from top to bottom, covering its forehead.
It once again experienced the pain of the soul being torn apart, and the Full Reveal technique was forcibly stripped away, leaving not even a trace of spiritual power left.
Then again.
It was pierced through the heart by a dagger, swallowed by ouroboros, and plunged into endless darkness.
"I....."
Honeycomb was gasping for breath once again appeared in the drizzle, with the approaching fist in his eyes.
boom!
Again, he got a headshot.
From Bucky's headshot with a punch, to Peggy's kicking his body, to being stripped of the Complete Revelation, everything seemed to be repeating itself. No matter how hard the process was, the result would never change.
The hive suddenly understood.
It turned out to be dead long ago, and now it is only being punished, just like Sisyphus who committed the sin, repeating the endless cycle of death.
"Is this my punishment?"
Honeycomb slowly closed his eyes, and a trace of bitterness crossed his face: "The Ring of Aeolus is indeed a technique specially developed for me, my dear mother."
It neither belongs to life nor to death, just like the superposition of the two, it can never reach the reality of death.
This is...the cycle of time!
