Chapter 415 Broken Battle
Tower of Babel, also known as Babel Tower.
This ancient word from the Bible has two completely different meanings, one is 'the gate leading to the kingdom of God', and the other is 'the chaos initiated by human beings to heaven'.
According to the only modern records, the tower was presided over and maintained by Nebuchadnezzar II, the king of the Babylonian kingdom.
Its main purpose is to demonstrate one's own strength and greatness, and to prove to the gods living in heaven that the great power possessed by human beings can already touch the realm of gods.
One thing to note here is that Nebuchadnezzar II was not the builder of the Tower of Babel, he was only responsible for continuing to maintain the Tower of Babel on the basis of the original.
And not only Nebuchadnezzar II, but several kings before him participated in and maintained the Tower of Babel.
In other words.
The specific time when the Tower of Babel appeared and the builders have long been unknown, and those latecomers are only responsible for repairs.
According to modern archaeological historical records, this magnificent human spectacle has long been destroyed by the Persian wars, and even the remaining remains of the tower cannot be found, so it can only be regarded as a religious legend.
But obviously it is.
The real Tower of Babel was not destroyed by the Persians' war, but was inside the giant bronze gate from beginning to end.
Such a huge tower cannot be built by manpower. Even if modern society uses all its strength, it is impossible to build this magnificent spectacle that pierces directly into the sky!
The Tower of Babel is only observed with the naked eye, and its height reaches nearly tens of thousands of meters, and it is still made of bricks, tiles and stones, completely ignoring modern theories of architectural mechanics.
As Lord gradually approached, he could see part of the original appearance of the Tower of Babel at a glance, and he even felt a kind of admiration for the builder in his heart.
The structure of the entire Tower of Babel is circular from bottom to top. There is a huge platform every tens of meters in the middle, which becomes smaller and smaller as the height increases. For people to climb around the tower.
At the bottom of the Tower of Babel, there is a temple covering an area of several thousand square meters. It is square like an Egyptian pyramid. The whole is divided into six levels from the outside, like boulders stacked. The layers are distinct and magnificent.
A huge stone step extends up, and after crossing three stone gates, you can enter this ancient temple, and then climb up to the tower that reaches heaven.
Even if Lord grinds his spiritual power into silk and extends it up to the limit distance, he still can't get a glimpse of the whole tower, showing how high it is.
I'm afraid it is really as the legend says, the end of the Tower of Babel is heaven!
It's hard to imagine that in such an ancient era, the builders worked so hard to build such a tower that reaches the sky. What is the purpose?
"It's getting more and more interesting..."
Lord narrowed his eyes slightly, and walked towards the temple at the bottom of the Tower of Babel. He really wanted to see what secrets were hidden in this ancient ruins!
Climbing up the steps of the temple and seeing this magnificent building up close, Lord couldn't help but sigh again.
The overall structure and style of the temple are the same as the bronze doors that have stood underground for millions of years. There is no trace of artificial carving with knives and axes. It seems to be a creation of nature, uncanny and natural.
After passing through three archways, Lord finally came to the last gate of the temple.
Those are two large stone gates, with a height of about ten meters and a width of about five or six meters, which can accommodate many people walking together. Many Akkadian characters are engraved on the surface of the stone gates.
If you can understand the meaning, there must be clues, but unfortunately no one can understand the Akkadian script, so Lord just glanced at it, and strode into the temple.
The temple is built in a special way, and the internal lighting is good, so it is not as dark as imagined, but very bright, like daytime, and the internal situation can be seen at a glance.
In the very center of the temple, there is a spiral upward staircase, which obviously leads to the top of the Tower of Babel, but it is not necessary to go up yet, so it is left aside for the time being, so don't pay too much attention to it.
The focus is on the eight huge steles several meters high inside the temple.
These steles are lined up, and there are giant snakes swallowing under the body of the stele. There are eight colorful murals painted with ancient pigments on the stele.
"Finally there's something I'm good at." Lord smiled, looking at the picture and making up his mind, he was the best at it in his previous life!
Although he couldn't understand the Akkadian characters, he could still understand the paintings on the stele.
"This...this is!"
But it's okay if you don't look at it. After looking at it, Lord's heart was shocked suddenly, setting off a stormy sea, and he couldn't stop for a long time.
What was depicted on the eight stele paintings was not about religious sacrifices as he had guessed before, but a tragic war!
But the warring parties depicted on the stele were what really made Lord feel horrified and even unbelievable.
There are countless angels fluttering their wings and swords, ferocious demons crawling out of the abyss, and a large number of human beings in armor and helmets, all charging and roaring at the enemies above the mural.
There are also countless corpses of angels, demons, and humans who have died, fallen from the sky, and have mutilated limbs. The blood almost dyed the entire earth into an endless sea of blood!
As his eyes gradually moved upwards, Lord even saw several 'acquaintances' in the center of the mural!
Uh......
Although the relationship between them is not very good, they should be regarded as acquaintances, at least Lord thinks so.
For example... four seraphs.
Among them, the angel playing the flute surrounded by waves and currents should be Gabriel who had met once.
And that angel with a beautiful face, long golden hair, standing with a sword in both hands, with six sacred wings spread out, emitting endless brilliance, must be Michael.
There is also an angel holding a flaming sword in one hand and a single snake coiled wooden staff in the other. Not surprisingly, it is Raphael, a seraphim known for healing and flames.
The last angel is different from the other three in that he has a masculine appearance. He is handsome, majestic, unrestrained and handsome. Just standing there is enough to attract everyone's attention. It is as bright as the morning star. Needless to say , Lucifer must have escaped!
This was already shocking enough, but even more shocking is yet to come.
A huge body like crimson molten liquid flowing with flames, with curved horns derived from its head, holding a two-pronged fork in its hand, and a demon with a bright red cloak fluttering behind it, is standing shoulder to shoulder with the four seraphs fight.
Two-pronged fork, red cape...
These two iconic representatives almost beat the red demon, who was Mephisto who was cheated by him not long ago!
The power of the demon side is not limited to this, there are also two mysterious demons, but the murals are too vague, so Lord doesn't know who they are.
But to be able to stand side by side with Mephisto and the four Seraphs, the background should not be small.
However, the enemies that can unite the three forces of angels, demons, and humans to face together are very strange. There is no entity on the entire mural, only a large amount of black mist is used to represent it.
The depiction of the stele painting is lifelike, giving the viewer an immersive feeling, and also uses a lot of bright red dye to exaggerate the tragic degree of the war.
Even after millions of years of history, Lord seems to be able to smell the strong bloody smell that has penetrated into the stone tablet and cannot be erased, as well as the deep despair.
