Chapter 116: Light
For the demigod-level extraordinary, because the soul is strong and has undergone a qualitative change, even if he has died, the spirit can remain for a period of time, unless the enemy deliberately destroys it, and if the dead high-level person still has a strong desire for something or contains unrelieved emotions, then his remaining will will will last longer, so that he can slowly assimilate the surrounding area, let it blend with the spirit world and even the underworld, and help himself transform into an evil spirit.
So, although Colin Iliad's aura had faded, he was sitting on the top floor of the Old God's stairs in tattered silver armor when he heard Derrick's whisper, turned his head sideways, looked at the demigod who was not yet an adult, and said with a smile:
"Compared to the elders of the past, it is a blessing that Lovia and I can die here. ”
Hearing this, Darek opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he felt something pressing on his heart and blocking his throat.
Not far away, Klein brought up the "Staff of the Stars" and tried to reproduce Will Onsetin's "reboot" in order to save Colin Iliad, but the ability he successfully used after several consecutive failures did not reverse everything, and it seems that the effect is significantly lower than that of the original, and it involves "uniqueness" - Amon is the ontological descendant.
is already dead, and he can't even be secretly coupled, so he can only consider turning into an evil spirit, but there are almost no evil spirits that can maintain human nature, and even the "dark angel" Sasriel has not done it...... The only exception was the three Medici "Red Angels", but that was also after leaving the "territory" and going to Bansey Harbor...... The Chief doesn't seem to be willing to go down this path...... For the inhabitants of Silver City, turning into evil spirits is an unquestionable curse...... Crane sighed and looked elsewhere, observing the fading Giant King's palace.
Colin Iliad examined Derrick's face, sighed, and said:
"When you go back this time, you'll be a member of the 'Council of Six'.
"I know that's a very heavy responsibility for your age, but everyone in Silver City must be ready to shoulder everyone's destiny at all times. ”
Derick nodded vigorously and said in a nasal voice:
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Colin Iliad smiled kindly and said:
"Don't worry about being misunderstood by them, I'm going to tell you something secret, at the moment, in the whole of Silver City, only Waite and I know.
"When you return, repeat the matter in front of Waite as soon as you go, and he will understand that my and Lovia's deaths have nothing to do with you, otherwise you would not have known this secret from my mouth. ”
At this, Colin Iliad looked up at German Sparrow and nodded slightly:
"From this day forward, everyone in Silver City is free to convert to that 'Fool' gentleman. ”
Daerik wasn't thrilled at all, just nodded heavily, indicating that he knew.
Colin Iliad then withdrew his gaze, and his face, which was visibly tired, added a layer of solemnity and a hint of bitterness:
"That secret has to do with our Silver City's second god-level seal.
"It's called 'The Gift of the Earth.'" ”
Daerik wiped his eyes with his arm, listening intently to the Chief's story.
Colin Iliad sighed and continued:
"It is precisely because of it that the area around Silver City can grow black-faced grass, so that we do not completely sink in the Deep Dark Age......"
Derick's pupils dilated slightly, and the sadness in his heart eased a little.
He remembered very well that the discovery of black-faced grass in general education textbooks was regarded as a key turning point in the history of Silver City, and he thought that without this safe and harmless staple food, Silver City might have become a paradise for monsters long ago.
At this moment, Darek thought of a lot of things, and finally understood why the mushrooms given by Mr. "World" had a huge mutation in Silver City, which was different from the original description.
Colin Iliad's gaze swept across his face, and his voice suddenly became low:
"It is precisely because of it that we bear the fate of being cursed, and only those who are killed by their immediate family members do not become terrible evil spirits.
"'Abundance' comes at a price. ”
Darek's expression froze.
The killing of his parents was a wound in his heart that would never heal, and he had always blamed the curse on the god-forsaken land, but now, the Chief told him that the truth was not like this, and that the curse came from the food they lived on!
The gray-haired, tired-looking Colin Iliad looked in a trance, and seemed to think of his father, mother, brother, sister, eldest son, youngest son, daughter, and eldest grandson, who had been killed by his own hands.
His voice became erratic as a result:
"Lovia once said that after being away from Silver City, a single battle dead did not turn into an evil spirit.
"I didn't tell her that this was the truth, because the 'Gift of the Earth' covers so much that most of the dying people can't leave the area in time.
"It's a secret that every chief talent has in his hands, and I work hard to explore and fight, just hoping that future generations will not have to suffer this kind of pain again. ”
The Silver City Chief, who was obviously old, exhaled slowly, didn't give Darek a chance to promise, and seemed to remember something:
"Also, the 'Rose of Redemption' recorded in that palace cannot be fully trusted. ”
Huh? Crane stopped looking at his surroundings, and Darik looked slightly confused.
Colin Iliad added in a deep voice:
"The 'Mother Earth Goddess' could not be the Giant Queen Eumibella.
"Ummy Bella is long dead, and his body is in the Silver City, the 'Gift of the Earth'......"
This...... Crane's pupils dilated as he listened, and a chill rose behind him.
The real giant queen has long died in Silver City and has become a seal, so who is the current "Mother Earth Goddess"?
............
In the dark "realm" of moonflowers and night vanilla, the twilight giant's sword slashed at the heavy pitch-black scythe, frozen in mid-air.
In the darkness, which had been destroyed by the fierce divine war before, time seemed to stand still, whether it was a giant wearing decay armor and bathing in the dusk, or a humanoid demon wolf wearing a starry dress and six arms, all seemed to have become part of the oil painting, standing in place, maintaining the posture just now.
However, a dark brown wooden staff was inserted into the Twilight Giant's vest, and it was frantically sucking the life of the gods, dragging the other back to the earth, to the mother's embrace.
The dark brown wooden staff was held in the hand of the giant-like plump lady, and the withering flowers, grasses, and mushrooms on his body formed a late autumn picture.
The Twilight Giant turned his head slowly, looked at the lady who was holding the illusory baby in one hand, and said in pain:
"Li, Li, Silk?"
At this moment, the "Demon Wolf", who was wearing a starry dress and had a female human head, chuckled, let the bird-shaped gold ornament in his hand fly out on its own, inserting it into the gap in the twilight giant's visor, and then he threw the "Crimson Moon" held in the other two hands to the plump lady.
In the next second, part of the Twilight Giant's body collapsed, and a mass of orange-red dusk pierced through the quiet darkness and fell back into the real world.
Some of them landed on the battlefield and killed countless soldiers, some crushed the mountain peaks and created a lake that would make all living beings age, some fused with some lucky creatures and turned them into crazy and powerful monsters, and some shrouded the Giant Hall of Dusk outside the city of St. Millon, causing the solidified orange red to be extinguished......
In the Amanda Mountains, outside the Church of Tranquility, mythical creatures such as Fersak, the Angel of Intis who are besieging the place, seem to sense something and stop the fight at the same time.
On the pitch-black trees with arms, the bloodshot black and white eyeballs rolled for a moment, and the "god evil" Si'a immediately stepped into the void and fled into the spirit world.
On the outskirts of Beckland, inside a small church that no one is paying attention to.
A pious priest dressed in a simple white robe and with a pale golden beard opened his eyes, revealing childlike clarity and innocence.
He calmly took a golden potion from his bosom, unscrewed the lid, and poured the liquid into his mouth.
............
And so the war ended.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes and felt it herself, Audrey would never have believed that the war was over.
When the deep darkness swallowed up the orange dusk and then subsided on its own, the "Silver Knight" in front of her seemed to have received a heavy psychological blow, even if she had recovered her state, she did not attack the enemy again, and retreated slightly embarrassed and confused.
Like the "Silver Knights", the angels and sages within the combined forces of Fusak and Intis fled one after another, and the army with the Extraordinary as the backbone collapsed uncontrollably.
However, none of the demigods, mid- and low-order extraordinaires, and ordinary soldiers on Rune's side tried to pursue, because they were equally confused, confused, and puzzled.
Audrey walked back into the city, and saw the surviving citizens of Beckland coming out of their homes one by one, from their shelters, from other places where they could hide themselves, staring blankly at the primeval forest-like scene.
They did not cheer, did not shout, did not scold and vent, their expressions were numb, their eyes were blank, and they did not know why the disaster ended suddenly.
There are many people who have received relief from the charity fund, and there are many faces that Audrey feels familiar, but their state is not much different from when they were queuing up to receive food.
Audrey examined the scene in silence as she made her way back to Queens and back to her villa.
She saw that her father, mother, eldest brother, housekeeper, manservant, and maid were all looking out of the window in confusion, and their expressions were exactly the same as those of the citizens on the street.
For some reason, a sentence suddenly flashed in Audrey's mind:
I don't know who I died, and I don't know why I lived.
............
An orange-red dusk quelled the lightning-heavy storm and sank into the deep blue ocean with no bottom in sight, almost covering the Dawn.
The "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette used her other "0" seal in time to save the ship from a terrible disaster.
Her brow furrowed slightly, as if she had a premonition, but she quickly stretched out and let the Dawn continue to move along the unsafe lanes, battling all sorts of dangers such as winds, waves, lightning, and sea monsters.
In the darkness, Bernadette's gaze seemed to penetrate the obstacles and see the light she wanted to chase.
No matter how many obstacles there are, she won't stop approaching.
............
Inside the Giant King's residence, on the steps sprinkled with orange light.
After the secret Corin Iliad said to Derick:
"Go open that door, I want to see what the sun looks like outside......"
"Hmm!" Derick's eyes reddened again, and he pursed his lips tightly and stood up.
He lowered the hammer in his hand, and under Crane's encouraging gaze, calmly bypassed the iron-black throne to the gray-blue gate that depicted the dusk scene.
Darik stared for a second, then leaned down and pressed his hands on either side of the door.
Then, he puffed up his muscles and pushed hard.
At this moment, he seemed to see his father and mother, the dead Joshua, Antilna and other comrades-in-arms, the purple black robe, and the gray-haired Colin Iliad.
They stood next to him and pressed their hands against the door at the same time, pushing the gray-blue door with him.
A drop of water slipped down Derrick's face, and a heavy prickly sound rang in his ears.
A crack then appeared, allowing the golden sunlight to shine in.
The gap grew wider and wider, and a sea glistening with golden glow gradually appeared in the eyes of Derrick, in the eyes of Colin Iliad.
Seeing such a picture, the corners of Colin Iliad's mouth, bathed in the warm sunshine and his body "evaporated" little by little, moved slightly, revealing a smile and a faint yearning without the slightest haze.
Light is the meaning of everything.
