Responsibility.

This is one of the biggest differences between the heroes who sacrificed for their own race in the legendary epic and ordinary people, and what is the bottom line of a person's sense of responsibility is destined to carry a heavy burden on this person's shoulders.

Xue Hua concedes that his sense of responsibility is only comparable to that of ordinary people, and he will only take action to take care of those things that he can manage when he keeps himself and his family safe.

So he never considered himself worthy of the great and heavy adjective "hero", even though he had saved the entire sanctuary world many times.

Ta Lascha has a deep sense of responsibility for this world that no one else can feel at all, he hides his true face under the appearance of a raunchy and calculating old man, but it is he who really stands up at the critical moment.

Not to mention anything else, who can insert a big stone sealed with the soul of the demon god into their head without complaint or hesitation?

He did it!

And in order to prevent his body and soul from eventually being unable to defeat the power of the demon god and fall, he also ordered others to seal himself in the large mausoleum designed by himself and almost impossible to open from the outside world!

He had been there fighting the evil spirits of Baal for nearly a thousand years, every day, every hour, every minute of his will against this evil being of immense strength.

If you don't really want to fulfill your deep vow to protect this world, what reason is there for a normal person to do such an exaggerated thing?

Thousands of years of loneliness and pain, thousands of years of patience and struggle, but in the end they ended up with a failed ending.

The moment his "prisoner" escaped, Ta Rashia's heart was probably already enduring a sense of self-reproach that no one else could understand.

Every time a victim was killed by Barr's misdeeds, the old mage's remorse grew even heavier.

After he lodged in the Heradic cube and followed Xue Hua out of the ancient tomb that had trapped him for thousands of years, this growing self-blame had become the heaviest burden on his spirit.

In comparison, Barr's humiliation is nothing at all, and what pains him the most are the innocent people who have suffered from his "dereliction of duty".

This pain is like a maggot on the tarsal bones, and there is no relief until the source of the pain is completely destroyed.

All the comfort was of no avail to him, for he knew from the bottom of his heart that it was entirely his fault that Barr had been able to escape from prison!

Therefore, when he found out that Baal was likely to be devoured and destroyed by his brother in the near future, the first thing he felt was not the fear of his own fate, but a burst of irrepressible ecstasy!

His pain was coming to an end, his long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled, and for Rita Rasha, his life and death had long been irrelevant, and he had already acquiesced to death the moment he inserted the soul stone that sealed Baal's soul into his forehead.

As long as he could ensure Barr's demise, even if he would also die because of it, he would be willing to do it.

To paraphrase what the protagonist said to the villain in a detective that Xue Hua liked very much in his previous life, Ta Rasha's mentality is so ordinary at this moment.

- "If I can destroy you for sure, I will gladly welcome death for the good of the public" - Sherlock Holmes.

If there is one regret for Ta Lascha, I am afraid that it is the death of Deka Kane.

This last descendant of the Hradim Mage Guild is the junior he has always been very optimistic about.

While Kane was still alive, Ta Rashia always thought that he could willingly die for the good of this world whenever and wherever he wanted, as he did thousands of years ago.

But Kane was one step ahead of him, sacrificing himself for the benefit of more people, which made his emotions fall into extreme contradictions.

He hoped that Baal would be destroyed sooner, but he didn't want the end of his fate to cause the final inheritance of the Heradim Mage Guild to be severed.

Therefore, he continued to "coerce" and "trap" Xue Hua to help him do things for various reasons regardless of his face at any cost, and his real purpose was just to hope that before he met the established fate, he could do more things and pave the way for the last immature seedling of the Hradim Mage Society... Even one centimeter more is fine.

Now that he had gotten the last stepping stone from Xue Hua, as long as he let Aman drink the psionic potential enhancement potion, everything he could do would be done.

In this way, he also has a final explanation for Kane and the Hradim Mage Society, and then he only needs to teach her all what he has learned all his life in the last bit of time he has left, and he can meet the inevitable ending with peace of mind.

"Old man, I've lived long enough, I haven't been able to sleep for a thousand years, and now it's finally coming to an end, I'm just going to rest, it's no big deal, the world is getting better, as long as I know this, I can rest assured."

With a look of relief and serenity on his face, he looked at Xue Hua in front of him with a kind gaze that he had never seen before.

"Kane once said that the reason why we old guys are still holding on until now is to pave a smoother growth path for you new generations, this is our choice, and it is the last thing we can do for you......"

"So, you don't have to be upset and frustrated about my fate, and I don't want more people to be sad about my incompetent fellow.

Don't tell them about this, let me spend the last few years in peace and quiet. ”

Ta Lasha smiled and nodded to Xue Hua, and finally glanced at the two girls not far away, and then the figure disappeared in front of him with a flash of blue light.

"Do what you have to do and don't leave yourself with any regrets."

"Because of regret... It's a painful thing......"

......

Ta Laxia left, but his last words lingered in Xue Hua's ears for a long time.

He didn't know if he would ever be able to see this seemingly bohemian heroic mage again in the future, but he knew that the property left by these human heroes to this world would last forever.

"Hey......"

After a long conversation, Xue Hua could only sigh helplessly after all.

He had nothing to do with what Ta Lasha would face, and the swarm still had a lot of problems of their own to solve.

Isha had just sent him the news that the main force of the Second Fleet had approached the giant land planet, and the atmosphere on this swarm colony planet was slowly becoming more and more dull and depressing.

The kingdom of Macatata has begun to infiltrate some rebels of the "Church of Extermination", who are dressed as citizens of the kingdom and look completely different from normal citizens on the surface.

The mother worm, who is responsible for the operation of the local hive, has launched a large-scale extermination operation against the "Sect of Extermination of Insects" in accordance with Xue Hua's instructions, and the kingdom of Makatata itself has declared this church an "illegal cult" and forbade its citizens from having any form of contact with the church.

However, the "Church of Extermination of Insects" has an unimaginable tenacious vitality, and although the number of members of the "Sect of Extermination" has been damaged by the joint attack of the insect swarm and the official forces of the Makatata Kingdom, it has not been completely paralyzed.
