Chapter 566: The King's Fall
"In my prophecy, my son will change the current landscape of Hebleon and bring ...... to the planet Freshman! ”
The royal family of Hyperion has always possessed the power of prophecy, and those who can sit on the throne must also be the ones with the strongest prophetic ability.
And the above passage was uttered by the previous monarch of Hyperion before Luke's birth.
His prophecy was not confirmed......
Heberon is a legendary land with highly developed technology and architecture, but here, there is no day or night, only half of the dark land of eternal night and the other half of the dry land of light.
Luke was born to create a day-night cycle for Hybron with the power that governs light and darkness, absorbing the power of darkness to lead to the world of light, and absorbing the power of light to lead to the world of darkness.
His greatness changed the planet Hyperion and brought it to unprecedented prosperity.
And he himself, because of this feat, became the only king on the planet Hyperion who was loved and admired by all the inhabitants, known as the eternal monarch of light and darkness.
Luke also possessed extraordinary creative powers, building machines that were self-aware and could move as freely as humans, and buildings he built that could withstand shocks of any level and stand for hundreds of years without loss.
In this way, he became the heart of Heblelen, the indispensable heart. The subjects supported him as if he were a father and worshipped him as a god.
But even if he is as strong as Luke, he will inevitably feel uneasy about one thing in his heart, and that is the finite nature of life.
Everything on Hyperion depends on Luke, who maintains the balance of power.
Luke didn't have children until his old age, but his prince Gurt and Princess Kabali did not have the power to control light and darkness like him.
Even if he later created artificial beings that could dominate the day and the night alone, he could not maintain the balance of power between the two as he did.
There is no one to replace Luke, which means that once Luke's life comes to an end, the planet will also face destruction, and how will the people of Hebleen survive?
Just as Luke's worries grew deeper and his heart became more and more sick, the Demon Realm connected with Hyperion.
Herder finds Luke, and the first time she meets him, she discovers his deep unease. In response to Luke's heart disease, Heard set up a game and used the "water of life" as bait to instigate Luke to go to the demon world.
Luke was told that he was moved, and he traveled to the Demon Realm with Herder, intending to obtain the "Water of Life" before returning to Heblen.
However, all of this was Herder's ploy. Helde wanted to use Luke's abilities but was afraid of the power he possessed, so he designed to lure Luke to the Demon Realm.
Herder succeeded. In the endless darkness of the Demon Realm, Luke's strength was gradually consumed, and he eventually turned into a thin, weak old man. He lost all his memories, forgot all his glory, and spent his days in a state of confusion, building buildings day after day by instinct.
Luke accepts Herder's commission to begin the reconstruction of the Demon Realm, starting with Central Park and the Orbit Center. He allowed the chaotic space-time to occasionally flow electricity, and gradually, there was light in the endless darkness of the Demon Realm.
At the same time, Luke also began to absorb the power of the Light little by little. Hundreds of years later, he finally remembered who he was, his people, his homeland, and why he was here.
I don't know when I started to have the same nightmare over and over again: running and being killed, even though I cycled thousands of times, I still couldn't escape the fate of death.
Because in the dream, the once strong and majestic body is long gone, and I have become a weak old man, powerless......
To be sure, someone must have tried to frame me, and all of my men are gone, so are they killed too?
At the moment of my death, I seemed to be whispering something all the time, and every time I tried to hear clearly, the nightmare instantly disintegrated......
It's horrible......
As King of Hybron, Sovereign of Light and Darkness, how could the great Lord Luke die so badly? Don't even have the ability to struggle?
I will never accept this kind of ending, this kind of prophecy!
I must change the prophecy! I must prove the prophecy wrong!
I'm going to make creatures like mine, and let them take my place of my doomed death!
Of course, I also want to build the strongest warrior who can crush any enemy, and whoever wants to kill me must pay the price!
Luke, who regained his memory, saw his death through his dreams and learned that everything was carefully planned by Herder to kill the apostles based on the prophecy recorded in the "Genesis Century".
In order to stop Herder's conspiracy, and for his own survival, Luke begins to make a plan step by step.
Luke, who appears to be being used by Herder and Bakar, has actually been secretly regaining his strength.
Pretending to be afraid of Bakar, he was coerced into building the Silent City, but in fact he built himself a giant machine that absorbed power. He spread the Black Nightmare to various worlds, absorbing the power from each world, and using the principle of reflection and refraction of light, the Silent City disappeared from the Demon Realm like a mirage, and even Heard could not realize its existence.
"Obviously everything is going in a good direction, but fate! Prophecy! ”
"I ......"
When he came back to his senses, Luke found that his body was propped up in mid-air, and the tip of the blood-colored greatsword that had burst out of the ground had pierced through his body.
The power in his body was draining rapidly, which made Luke smell hope.
In the skill hedge with Yang Bai, he lost......
There was a "click" sound, and the bloody sword that had pierced Luke suddenly shattered and dissipated, and his body began to fall downward.
The burly and muscular body visibly shrunk to the naked eye, becoming the same as in the dream, so thin, so weak.
Falling to the ground, the intense pain nearly caused Luke to faint, but faith kept him going, because coma was the equivalent of death.
However, when he tried to get up and continue the fight, his figure staggered to his knees, and he could no longer get up.
There were bursts of spatial fluctuations around him, and because of the continuous fierce battles, the space of this "inner world" finally began to be unsupportable and disintegrated.
And this means that Luke's hopes have collapsed together.
He...... After all, the prophecy could not be reversed.
In a trance, he seemed to see a petite figure, which rushed towards him in a few steps and fell, and finally threw himself into his arms.
"Grandpa Luke—" Her voice was filled with helplessness and sadness.
Luke didn't speak, just gently put his hand on her head and rubbed it gently...... It's like when she was first made.
"What are you going to do! I don't care about you! Or I'll kill you! Suddenly stopped in front of Luke like a fried cat, and Becky was wary of Yang Bai who was walking here.
"Get out of the way, I don't need to make up for the knife, he has already run out of oil......" Sighing, Yang Bai and Luke looked at each other, their eyes were complicated.
"Actually, if you yourself understand, your lifespan ...... In fact, it can't hold on anymore! ”
Yang Bai has already discovered that the current Luke is still not at his peak, especially the move he made just now. If it weren't for his inability, he would at least be able to draw with Yang Bai.
It wasn't Yang Bai who killed Luke, but his own limit!
From the beginning, his hope was only a false proposition, and even if he escaped from the prophecy and his fate, he would be a mortal man.
Even if he managed to return to Hyperion, he still couldn't do anything, just to see the last side.
The old man understood everything from the beginning, but he had no choice, but he didn't want to give up, there was no way to give up.
"Go home, go home......" kept muttering to himself, and Luke seemed to be deaf to Yang Bai's words, and kept whispering as predicted.
"I owe you a favor, if you have the ability in the future, I will help you fulfill this long-cherished wish!" Yang Bai suddenly spoke, he understood......
Luke's long-cherished wish was not to let himself go back at all...... Rather, he's been worried about the lack of his Hyperion.
Bathed in light, Luke's body began to disintegrate, and he still didn't say a word after all, or glanced at Yang Bai, just kept whispering.
Becky cried, crying so sadly, crying heartbreakingly.
Yang Bai turned around, his expression was always resolute, he didn't need Luke's answer.
From the moment he decided to do all this, he realized that he would take the place of those who had passed away and carry what they had carried......
