570. Punishment, the price of power!
The scene turns again, this time not a destroyed world or a void, but a modern city.
Pedestrians are doing their own things, as if they are in harmony.
But somewhere in this scene, a dejected young man in black fell to his knees.
It was still the same man, but much younger, and at the same time, Ria looked at his face a little more clearly.
If in the previous scene he looked like a wanderer in the desert found a source of water, now he suddenly found that all this is just a fantasy of a mirror.
There was no hint of agility in his eyes, there was just
"The strongest, invincible, omniscient, all-knowing...... The Strongest Invincible All-Knowing All-Powerful ...... The strongest and invincible, omniscient and all-powerful!" In the crowd, the man muttered to himself as if no one was around him, and finally shouted to the sky, his voice so loud that everyone else cast strange eyes.
But for some reason, it sounds so powerless in Lea, like the last struggle of a man in a desperate situation.
"Is this the power I have always longed for? Is this the essence of the world that I have crossed the end of time and reached? Is this the essence of this power, the so-called all-knowing, all-powerful?" the man's voice was almost mad, even though his face was still shrouded in a layer of fog, but Lee could still see the tears on the man's face.
The man's crying appearance is ugly.
Snot and tears smeared his face.
It's hard to imagine that this man, who claims to have received the strongest invincible strength, would cry like a child.
As if reflecting the mood of a man, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and in the blink of an eye, it began to rain heavily.
"Hahahaha!" the man laughed maniacally as he looked up and accepted the heavy rain.
In fact, what he understood, he had already understood, as early as in the process of his pursuit of the strongest invincible power, what was lost had been lost, what had disappeared had disappeared, even if time was reversed, even if it became an omnipotent existence, the only thing he really wanted had long since come back.
And he was just deceiving himself, in order to make himself feel better.
“…… Fuck you uncle!" It was as if it were some kind of computer noise, and the name that the man shouted was automatically blocked, leaving only the last half of the foul mouth.
"Excuse me, sir, what's wrong with you?" a soft and pleasant voice suddenly sounded, and a large parasol covered the man from the rain.
Ria frowned, he always felt as if he had heard this voice, but it didn't seem to be, he couldn't remember it without memory.
The owner of the voice was also covered in a mosaic like a man's face, but it was still a girl who could be judged from the voice and clothing.
The man froze suddenly, and turned his head as if he had heard the sound of hell.
Theoretically, the girl was still very good-looking, but for some reason, the man seemed to be frightened, and fled despite the dirt on the ground, like a defeated dog.
"What's wrong?" said the other boy strangely as he walked up to the girl,
"Nothing, it's just that I met a strange person. The girl shook her head and left without saying anything and left side by side with the boy.
No one noticed, and didn't care, in the corner alley not far from where the boy and girl left, the man was silently drenched in the rain, half of his face was covered by the bangs on his forehead, and he couldn't see his expression, quietly watching the boy and girl leave.
After a long time, he smiled, not bitterly or angrily, but sincerely laughed from the heart: "Hawkers, it doesn't matter, I have gained this power, I am not qualified to complain so much, I have everything, I just lost some insignificant things, and I have long been ...... It doesn't matter......"
The man turned away in amazement, and the figures of him and the girl were like two parallel lines, perhaps they would never intersect again in this life.
In fact, what a man knows is that everything he once cared about and wanted to get back has been smoothed out by hundreds of millions of years, whether it was happiness or sadness, and even the people and things he once cared about can no longer be remembered.
He just doesn't want to admit it, he doesn't want to admit that he is like this, he doesn't want to admit the horror of time, if he really becomes like this, then there is no point for him to get power at all costs, and even his own existence and the meaning of living are also denied.
But when the truth was cruel in front of him, he suddenly found that he had already accepted it, and imperceptibly accepted this cruel reality in hundreds of millions of years.
As if some kind of force was tempting Ria, Leah spoke slowly and said the same words as the man in the scene:
"This is, the price of power, and it is also ...... Punishment for myself. ”
In this way, Lee himself has been transformed again, and at the same time, a penalty word also appeared in Lee's mind.
At this moment, Leeu completely regained his original state, thoughts, memories, and feelings.
He was at a loss for a moment as to where he was, and then he was puzzled by the scene in front of him.
Why does this scene affect his mind, and why does he feel a sense of empathetic sadness?
Before Leah could think deeply, the scene in front of him changed again.
This time, the man's face was completely devoid of mosaics, but that look made Ria suspicious.
Because of the appearance of that man, there is almost no difference except that he looks a little more mature!
He is Lee himself! Or rather, the future Lee!
At this time, he was wearing a simple and shabby dress, carrying a small travel bag behind him, and sat on a park bench like an ordinary traveler and talked.
There is also a girl with black hair and two ponytails sitting next to him - Kurumi Tokisaki!
She bit her lower lip and listened silently to the man, or rather Lea.
And because of that inexplicable voice, Leah didn't hear what his future self said before, and all he heard was an ending.
"Well, that's it in a nutshell. Lea looked at Mad San with a grin: "How about it? Awesome, right? Genius, right? I've found a way to do this, and then, I just need to put it into action." ”
"So, what about you?" asked Kurumi, his lips trembling.
"Me?" Li Er glanced at Mad San in surprise, and then shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "The ending is obvious, whether it succeeds or not, there will be no such person as Li Er in this world." ”
"If I succeed, I'll get what I want, and if I fail, I'll have the end I've been waiting for, perfect, isn't it......?
