Chapter 43: Judas the Gentlest of Kinds

The time of the living does not stop because of whose death, the night has passed quietly, the rain is tired, and the clouds in the sky gradually dissipate, revealing the light of the moon.

The Hall of Bones, the landmark of Shroof Ashwagandre, was damaged several times during the battle, crumbling in the wind and rain, and most of the roof was torn off, and the bone meal inscribed with the sins of the rebels disappeared into the soil.

Lifa was kneeling on the puddle-strewn ground, tears rolling in her eyes, and she had once again experienced the hopelessness of her despair after the annihilation.

"Obviously, the person who died is a traitor to the family, obviously I want to scold him severely, and then let him kneel down and apologize to himself, but why, now that he is dead, I am so uncomfortable."

Lifa stared at where Kieran had disappeared.

This man was once his favorite brother, but he betrayed himself, betrayed the whole family, and he became the Judas who murdered Jesus, and was hated by his people.

Even so, Lifa still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that her brother would tell him that he had no choice but to do what he thought.

But after finally seeing his brother, he did not hesitate to admit that he did it himself, and he has no regrets.

And when he wanted to scold him, beat him, and vent his anger, he gave his life to save himself.

There were too many doubts, entanglements, sadness, and grief in Lifa's heart, and these emotions were twisted together and pierced her heart.

She was just a teenager, but she endured a tragedy that many people in this world would never experience in their lifetime.

The misery washed the expression from her face, and Lifa could only stare blankly ahead.

Is it numbness? Or a crash?

Maybe Lifa herself doesn't understand, and now she just wants to be alone.

A breeze blew, and the notebook left behind by Kieran was lifted by the wind, revealing a few square lines of text.

Probably out of concern for her brother's life, Lifa picked up the notebook and flipped it back page by page.

It is an account of Kieran's life and the sins of others that he repented of as a priest during his years as a priest.

And when she turned to a certain page, Lifa stopped, and there were three words written on it.

"To Lifa"

Then flip back, and the content recorded behind it is completely beyond Lifa's imagination.

"My favorite sister in my life, by the time you read this book, I should have died."

"I should have died a long time ago, just to fulfill my mission and fulfill my desire to meet you, I haven't done it to myself."

"Now that I've met you, I'm going to entrust my mission to you."

"After all, destroying the narrowness of time is something we time walkers must do."

"You may have heard that I betrayed my people and allowed Hilfa to succeed in creating the Narrowness of Time, but things are not what I imagined, even without me, the Narrowness of Timing would have been created."

"It all started five years ago, when my friend Jacob and I went out on a mission to destroy the Demon of Time, and although we easily killed the Demon of Time, our whereabouts were controlled by the Imperial Army."

"At this time, Hilfa had just made up his mind to control time, so he sent someone to follow us and take us to prison."

"The creation of the Narrow Temporal requires the sacrifice of the lives of many time walkers to obtain the power of time, so we were tortured and asked about the whereabouts of other clansmen."

"Jacob and I were separated, and dozens of days of torture did not break my will, and I did not reveal any information about my people."

"However, this matter is not for me to decide alone, and a few days later, Hilfa gave me a list with the names of all our people and where they lived, and she smiled and told me that Jacob had given the information of all the other people, and in exchange he would live and I would die."

"The moment she took out her pistol and aimed it at me, I didn't grieve for my imminent death, but I couldn't accept the fact that our race would be destroyed, and once our race that controlled time perished, the world would inevitably fall into chaos."

"But what can I do? I'm just a useless prisoner. ”

"An idea came to me that made me commit a heinous crime, but, as I said, I don't regret the decision I made at the time."

"I'm the only person in the world who has both the ability to erase time and rewind time, and so far, I've used both abilities separately, and if I use both abilities at the same time, I haven't tried them yet."

"Time rewind cannot change what has happened without the help of miracle people, and time rewind cannot change what will happen in the future, and if the two are used at the same time, it may produce an incredible chemical reaction."

"That is, I can cut out what has happened, and I can go back in time and shape a new future."

"My guess proves that this method is feasible, but when I was full of hope to save my people, I encountered an insurmountable dilemma."

"Using the power of two kinds of time at the same time, the power of time consumed is huge, and the fluctuations generated will also cause the demon of time to change."

"I used up all my strength to only go back in time to the day I was caught, and my shell grew old and couldn't stop the torrent of time."

"I'm desperate, if this continues, everything will still happen as usual, Jacob and I were arrested, Jacob exposed the information, and I died with grief."

"I have to do something, even if I make mistakes, even if I let myself be burdened with sin, I have to do something, that's the last obsession in my heart."

"I choose to use my own hands to create all the evil consequences, to bear all the sins on my own shoulders, even if it is Judas who betrayed Jesus, I am willing."

"So, on the first day I was taken into prison and interrogated separately, I didn't hesitate at all and told Hilfa bluntly: I will confess, but, there are conditions."

"Here's what you see, I betrayed my people, but I also hid you from your father and some people who were not active in the eyes of the people, and in exchange, I will gain 30% of the power of time and survive under the protection of the Empire."

Seeing this, Lifa understood how painful her brother had been.

The pain I experienced may not be anything in the eyes of my brother.

It is not at all true to accept the pain of the loyalist, but to bear the infamy of a traitor, and to destroy it with his own hands in order to protect his faith

Lifa couldn't imagine how her brother had come over all these years, and she didn't understand her brother at all, and even hated her all the time.

Flipping back to the page, the contents are marked in red.

"What I'm going to say next is the point"

"What I'm going to say is a message about the narrow time of time."

"The Narrow Time Gap is something that was finally created by bringing together the power of time of almost all of our clansmen, and it can even be called an artifact."

"The one who controls it controls the time."

"But its side effects are also huge, arbitrarily disrupting time and making the original space-time order chaotic, and the time demon will take advantage of it."

"Moreover, I have found a sign that the use of the Narrow Time is causing the whole world to collapse, and now the power of time is scattered everywhere in the world, which reminds me of the beginning of the world - the Age of Chaos"

"The Age of Chaos is ruled by the Demon of Time, and if the environment of our world is completely changed to the Age of Chaos, then the world may really perish at that time."

"Destroying the Narrow Gap of Time is the mission that our Time Walkers must complete."

"The Narrow of Time was placed in the royal palace of the city of Deyo, and it was none other than the wall clock next to the throne of Hilfa."

"The owner can turn the clock by his own will, disrupt the trajectory of time, accelerate, decelerate, retrace, and even slice and reorganize, which can be done in the narrow space of time."

"It is almost perfect, nothing can destroy it from the outside, and when it was born, it already existed independently of this world, belonging only to her owner, so to speak, it is the god who holds time."

"But, although we can't destroy it, we can control it."

"When I made the time of time, I did something so that its owner would not always be fixed to Hilfa's body."

"But it's not so easy to control it, and there are three conditions that must be met."

"First, the original controller died. In other words, if you want to control the narrow time of time, you must kill Hilfa. ”

"Second, the original state of the Demon of Time, that is, the Demon of Time Zero, with it, can the divinity of the narrow room of time be suppressed and so that it can be controlled."

"Third, the direct bloodline of the Time Walker clan, the huge time power stored in the narrow space of time, can only be withstood by the direct bloodline of our clan."

"You're the one who will do these tasks."

"I've been in touch with the Gates over the years, and they can be trusted, and they'll help you along the way, and that's what I can do in the end."

"I hope you can save the world."

"Finally, as an elder brother, I hope you can live happily, don't grieve because of my death, I should have died a long time ago, I should have died before time went back, I don't have nostalgia anymore, there is no need to feel sorry for me."

"I remember your favorite doll, I remember giving you one before, and I made one a few days ago, and when I see it, I think of you when I was a child."

"How happy it was then, and it would be nice if time could go back to that time and nothing happened."

"Good luck, my sister."

Closing Kieran's notebook, Lifa stood up and wiped tears from her eyes.

I can't embarrass my brother, who has endured so much pain and is still alive, what excuse do I have to escape?

Judas, the gentlest man in the world, has opened the door of hope for this world.

The road ahead has been paved, and it's time for me to complete the unfinished business.
