In front of his parents, Bran gave his brother a warm hug. Then, facing his mother's outstretched hand, he hesitated a little and handed over the bone staff in his hand.

"I heard that even Lily can't touch it. ”

Bran gritted his teeth and explained, "Handing it over and not touching it are two different things. ”

"Oh?"

"Actually, it shouldn't be seen as a weapon, it's a scepter. Bran sighed, "You see, every bump and depression on it represents a lost life. They have all taken a crucial step with joy, just like I did. I thought that this step would become the end of the journey.

But we're different after all. Even if you are dead, you can't be worn away by the years. The power of purity and perfection has been revealed and preserved by the polishing of the years.

Not only that, although the years have taken away too much, too much, they have also left too many, too many traces. These traces have become a scale to measure time, making them a part of time.

If I hadn't lost my body, some of these pure and extreme powers would have become one within me. ”

Feeling the regretful gaze, Bran shook his head: "Don't feel sorry, because we have found another way to blend, and it seems to me to be more perfect."

Now, all the remaining forces are one, and the traces of time have been preserved. ”

Adam, who was peeking at Bran next to him, couldn't help but remind: "But you still lost." ”

Bran didn't defend himself, and replied casually: "yes, I still lost." ”

The bone staff also reacted at this time, and the staggered movement of the chain link instantly dimmed a little, as if he was dissatisfied with Bran's admission of defeat.

Adam couldn't hold back his curiosity and continued to ask, "Why?"

"There are so many reasons, for example, my sister is really surprisingly strong, for example, I just got into a fight with someone, for example, it is not complete enough. ”

"Complete? You just said that all the remaining powers are all in one. ”

"The most critical part is missing. ”

"What"

Bran took the bone staff handed back by his mother and made a mocking look at Adam, "Guess. ”

Without waiting for Adam to speculate, Bran lifted his bone staff and continued, "For me, it helps me to understand darkness further and make my colors darker.

For others, it is possible to communicate many of the darkest magics and gain unimaginable power. Even, there is a chance to become the king of the darkest. ”

Bran leaned sideways slightly, blocking Ya's subconscious outstretched hand, "I can't touch it." ”

Adam was stunned for a moment, then showed a blank look. There are some things that should not be touched, like one's own crown and throne, like those people and things who know each other.

......

Not wanting to embarrass the two brothers, the mother on the side couldn't help but speak up: "Adam has encountered some trouble, and he is currently unable to expand the number of believers. ”

Bran sighed, "Even if I don't care, I can't force my believers to convert. Besides, I'm starting to care a little bit about them.

Actually, my sister and I both wanted my brother to choose between us. Whichever side he chooses, he will get the help he needs. For example, he justifiably trained believers for him, and even asked some suitable people to convert their faith. As long as you are in the same god system, these things are not difficult to do.

But Adam was my older brother, so I couldn't force him to choose.

I used to be confident that it was easy to associate with darkness with intrigues and tricks, and my sister thought that my brother would be more emotionally inclined to her. Although the choice he made in the end disappointed us, it also made us admire.

In the past, I never understood why there were always small frictions and calculations with Wings. It wasn't until the scepter appeared in my hand that I understood that there would be a distinction between kings after all.

Whether you want to or not, the moment you accept the authority given by magic to become a wizard, you are already doomed. It's just that ——, we are inherently unruly.

That's why you choose the most difficult path and don't want to be subservient. But no matter how difficult the road is, it's your choice.

Of course, you can choose again, even if it's just a nominal part of the Night, and I can solve the problems in front of you. Like that year, you embarked on an expedition at my suggestion. ”

Adam stared at Bran for a moment, "You didn't completely shelter me during the expedition. ”

Bran was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he nodded and admitted: "It really didn't completely shelter you, and it really didn't make you really satisfied."

But you seem to have forgotten that at that time, I only wanted to marry the woman I loved, Shanti. The rest is just a foreshadowing for this matter.

When you have a beloved wife and children, and you have your own power, you are not satisfied. You ——, want more.

You were also content, when you decided to give up everything for Shanti, the moment you married her. It's just that the more you have, the more you want to get. The more you are satisfied, the more you will not be satisfied.

Moreover, you will not cooperate with me.

You did not really obey my arrangements during the expedition. I asked you to place your power in Windhaven, but you took it to Moonshining City.

I think with your current strength, you should be able to guess what I was trying to do at that time. I thought that power would be enough to temper you and Shandy, but I didn't think you had stolen my cloak quietly.

This is normal, you can't even fully accept your parents' arrangement, let alone my younger brother.

I still want to help you, to help you set foot in the realm of the gods, but I don't know much about it. I've done what I had to do. As for your choice, that's ultimately your own business.

Now, tell me in front of your parents – if you have a new choice. ”

Adam was silent for a moment before shaking his head firmly, "No—"

Bran looked at his mother, and asked helplessly, "How can you—how can I help him?" I don't bother to pay attention to anything about him, whether it's my side or my sister's side.

In fact, the pressure he faced did not come from us, but from our followers.

He knows what we're arranging and is going to deploy it in a targeted way. And we, the poor believers, still know nothing about it. But no one is stupid, and too many people already notice that something is wrong.

The counterattack is coming, and I think Adam is already feeling the pressure.

I am a god to be worshipped, and I will support the believers when they start to fight back. Even if this support is only a silent gaze, it is enough to fill them with fighting spirit. ”

Adam snorted, "Not only did you not gaze in silence, but you empowered them. ”

Bran snorted, "That's not for you, it's for the new world." Even if you don't calculate, they will leave soon after, heading to other worlds to spread death.

What you really have sinned against me is to put your hand into the realm of death and try to create a new undead. I respect your territory, but if these undead dare to step out, they will face endless hunts.

For now, I want you to stop in moderation. For I don't want you to be led into the Netherworld by the power of death and become part of the Scepter. ”

Adam sighed and asked seemingly forcefully, "What if I need the power of the undead?"

"I allow you to summon them from the netherworld, and drive them. I allow you to borrow the power of the Netherworld to complete the transformation of the dead. It's not without cost, you have to put in the magic in your body, and success depends on how much power you have. ”

"So be it. Bran waved his hand, "Today is a happy day, and there are some things to talk about later." ”
