Chapter 7 Destination
Alduin crossed the barrier unhindered and stepped into Safron.
However, the light flickered, and when he saw it again, he came to another place......
Thousands of branches hung softly, and a pale golden mist filled the air, like the glimmer of the morning light from the cracks in the trees......
"The windswept firmament?"
Alduin frowned slightly, and things were faintly beyond his expectations.
Safron actually connected to the windy firmament......
"Oh, Word One, I really didn't expect you to do that."
He scoffed.
Before, he asked Mu Yan to enter Safron through the gate above the Encore Sea to retrieve the Tidebringer, and then returned to Heru from the 'gate' near the Dark Reef, he didn't know what happened to Safron.
So this is the first time he has come here since Mu Yan left the Dark Abyss.
The World Destroyer raised his head, and a pair of broken black wings stretched out from his back, flapping lightly, and the whole person turned into a streamer and flew towards the top of the tree.
According to Mu Yan's memory, at the top of the tree, there was a rainbow bridge that led directly to the dark abyss.
As for what existed on the other side, it was obliterated by the damn rules, and he didn't even know much about Kanrosh.
But it doesn't matter, now he is the only god of Lokan and Heru, and no one can restrain him.
But when he reached the top of the tree, a figure stood in front of him.
Alduin couldn't help but be stunned......
He'd seen the man in front of him.
On the eve of the end of the Dusk Era, when the team of 400 fought him for the first time, the scholar wearing the wheel of knowledge in the team ...... The scholar who seemed to know every pore of his body very well...... He should have spewed a dragon's breath to death at that time, but he was limited by the hatred rules of the 'system' and had to devote himself to destroying those difficult bones......
More crucially, this person is the person he now occupies the body, or the person he replaces now......
This is his chosen one!?
The scholar turned around, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and there was an indescribable indifference and rebelliousness between his eyebrows......
Again, this doesn't seem to be his chosen one......
Alduin was extremely sure that his chosen one did not have such an almost "rebellious" expression, and that the young man at most showed a sense of rustiness and loneliness that he was "obviously very polite, but he refused to be thousands of miles away".
"Coming?"
The other party spoke, and his tone was relaxed, as if he had been waiting for an old friend to arrive.
"I remember you."
Alduin spoke slowly, as if searching for the contents from a jumble of memories.
"Come on, don't pretend." Xia Mu sneered and said: "What you remember is the scholar in the team of four hundred, not me in the memory of 'Mu Yan', the memory I left him is too deep, and all the profound memories are wiped out under the erasure rules of the dark abyss." Even though you occupy this body, there is only a subtle emotion left...... But a guy like you can't relate to that emotion. ”
"You know that backup, you know Twilight Era...... Hehe, so you're Kanrosh's backhand? Alduin snorted coldly: "I knew that things were not so simple, since he appeared in Heru once three years ago and said those inexplicable words to me, he could not easily hand over everything." ”
As he spoke, he took out the Tide Bringer, an injection of boundless soul power, which was transformed into the power of the tide in aqua blue by that sword.
Xia Mu pursed his lips, shook his head with disdain, and then took out another sword.
The sword was black and white, with a faint glow lingering on it.
"I'll tell you a story...... he pointed the tip of his sword at Alduin, and the tidal power on the other party's body was instantly sucked in.
Then he smiled and spoke in Alduin's changed expression.
"You may not know that there are actually two swords about this sword...... Your sword is the father's sword, and my sword is the son's sword, it stands to reason that the son's sword should be weaker when he sees his father's sword, but Shaohua is easy to pass away, and he is easy to grow old in his youth...... Now that times have changed, the father sword is no match for the son sword. ”
Annoyed, Alduin continued to urge the soul power, but no matter what, the power of the new tidal wave was sucked away......
He manifested himself in anger, and suddenly turned into a dragon with a dusky mist and broken wings, almost skeleton!
Slowly flapping his wings, his confidence seemed to return to this body, and Alduin calmly stared at the small human in front of him.
“Shoul-Hi-Faal.”
"Shamu."
He replied, raising his hand slightly, and the thousands of branches of Imotru instantly entwined, and Alduin's huge body was wrapped into a rice dumpling in the blink of an eye.
"I'm still really skilled......"
He whispered as he stopped Alduin's struggle with the rules.
"Well, let me tell you the story...... Let you go quietly, and let me be happy. ”
The second half of the sentence is inaudible, as if talking to oneself.
Then he sealed Alduin's mouth with vines.
"Since you don't answer, you will acquiesce."
Alduin glared at him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After speaking, the scholar sat on the ground with his knees crossed, and in front of him was a dragon tied into a zongzi, and he was slightly silent for a long time before he spoke:
"You're right, I do have a relationship with the One of the Word...... And it's not small. Originally, my mission was to be a 'layer of protection', to protect your Chosen One, and his Chosen One, that is, the guy named Mu Yan, from leaving this world prematurely. But then, someone asked me if I really wanted to do that......"
His eyes were confused.
"I can understand that the person seems to have the same troubles as me, as if we were born with a mission...... My mission is to die for others, and his mission is to follow my mother's ethereal instructions to create all things, and then give up everything and leave this world, or become a part of it......
"That man, as a god, has seen the 'future' of Lokan with his own eyes, but the 'future' does not have him.
"The two of us are very similar, but very different...... The difference is that I was just confused, but he was very angry...... He felt that his mother was very 'partial'. So he didn't intend to act according to his mother's original plan, which was the 'prophecy', but he wanted to create a new 'future'.
"And, he wants me to join."
After a pause, Xia Mu sighed.
"The plan is simple, although it is very complicated to say. Everything has already been written, all we have to do is move a little bit at the beginning and at the end...... He knew that the Chosen One would save it all, and that he would give me a glimpse of the Light, so he could change the outcome if he convinced me......
"As for me...... Of course it did. No one wants to die, what a good thing it is to live, this is a wonderful world, there is love, there is hate, there are warm emotions...... I've experienced it all in Twilight Era, and it's brief, but I'm irrepressibly obsessed with it...... So, I said yes.
"According to the original plan, I suffered for him, sent him to Heru, and let him save Lokan with guilt...... Later, all of this was indispensable to your facilitation, and it was a great credit...... It is with the help of countless sources of self-righteousness that we have come to this point.
"In other words, I am the biggest beneficiary of this plan, and I am the real 'man behind it'...... I have inherited all of this from birth to death, from death to life, and then I have eliminated you, and I have become the last and only 'God', even beyond the original goal of merely 'surviving'......"
He tugged at the corners of his mouth and sighed:
"But why am I not happy at all? How nice it would be if I could laugh and roar and enjoy the thrill of domination, just like you......"
He looked at Alduin, who was now silent, his huge dragon's eyes revealing his doubts.
"I know, you want to ask, why do I have this power...... In fact, the two swords represent the authority to manage the windy firmament and the dark abyss, which is the authority that Mia gave to the original Word Keeper, the one who spied into the 'future' in advance and used the means to cheat to see the end of the game, and as he created these two realms, he attached himself to the sword. It's true that Tidebringer is an administrator, but there is a higher level of authority on top of it......
"You may be wondering, how did I get this permission?
He smiled, "You'll never guess the answer...... Your Chosen One, when it is clear that a higher level of authority is available, will set his own authority to a lower level, leaving the higher level of authority in the Abyss of Darkness......
"So when you replace him, you naturally get a lower level of admin privileges. And I, as a person of the same origin as him, as another 'he', also had this choice, so I went to the Dark Abyss to obtain the sword, and thus obtained a higher level of authority.
"If you don't walk into this plane, no one in this world can do anything to you...... But for now, it's up to me to make the final say. ”
With a wave of his hand, he untied the vines from Alduin's mouth.
As soon as he got out of trouble, Alduin shouted angrily: "You can't kill me, I have thousands of believers in Heru, and the Michao people have branded me on my soul, and they are all my slaves!" I am immortal! ”
"Yes......" Xia Mu smiled: "But you forgot, you are a younger brother......"
Alduin was slightly stunned for a moment, and a figure walked out of Xia Mu's sword, and it was the appearance of Lao Pa.
"My dear brother......"
The Soul Shaper smiled and hugged him.
"You...... It's you!! ”
Alduin was shocked, he had never thought of this old brother, because he knew that the two were symbiotic, but he could absolutely suppress him in terms of strength, and the latter was not worth mentioning. As for Patunax in Mu Yan's memory, he was also easily erased by the rules because it involved the complete plan of Kanlosh, and he was completely unaware of it.
He may have known that the Soul Shaper had been awakened by Mu Yan, but that was all there was to it.
In his opinion, the Soul Shaper may be hiding in the Kadra Plateau at the moment, sheltering humanity in its own way, such as powering the huge protective barrier.
"yes, it's me. It's time for us to settle the score......"
The Soul Shaper smiled.
"You can't ...... You can't kill me either! We are the prophesied twin rattlesnakes, we live and die together! He shouted wantonly.
"Yes, we are 'twin rattlesnakes' and cannot destroy each other...... But I can seal you with myself. Brother, the fog of Heru has dissipated, and the imprint of the Mi Chao people will slowly fade with the light of the two moons, as long as you can't return to Heru, as time goes by, one day, Nioudra will be forgotten by everyone...... When that time comes, you will return to the soul with me. After he said all this gently, he immediately bowed slightly to Xia Mu to express his gratitude.
"It's going to be a long time, but you should thank your 'chosen one' for finding you a good place to go, and you're going to love it......"
As he spoke, the Soul Shaper spread his arms, emitting a dazzling white light that enveloped Alduin in his roar.
When the light faded, there was nothing left on the top of the tree.
……
At the same moment, at the foot of Hogarth, in the human stronghold called Songard, four hundred prepared cadets joined Seraf.
During this time, Seraf became a reserve army base for training against the Sea Clan, where countless soldiers conducted basic drills and accumulated experience in fighting the Sea Clan. And as the Endless Sea turned into frozen ground and the sky was shrouded in yellow sand, although the Sea Clan disappeared, because of the elemental disorder caused by the collapse of the magic net, countless magical beasts were able to evolve into a new species, so Seraf ushered in a new mission.
At present, these 400 people are the first batch of half-year graduates from June to the end of the first year of Dusk, and they are about to face their final exams, which are what the instructors call "the final battle to save people's reason".
As soon as the four hundred people entered, a roaring dragon roared towards them.
Seeing the ants in front of him, Alduin seemed to realize something, and he remembered how similar the days when he was killed once a week in "Twilight Era" to now!
So he shouted angrily:
"I am Alduin the Destroyer! Fear me.
"I'm not data, and I'm not a virtual boss! Fight me and you'll see real death! I'm going to kill you guys! Be afraid! Run! Mortal! Such a tiny cage can't restrain me! I'm going to destroy this world! ”
When a student encountered such a domineering declaration for the first time, he couldn't help but shudder, turned his head and asked the regiment commander: "Regiment, regiment commander, he, is what he said true or false?" ”
The regiment commander spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "Cut, rare and strange, this is the leader personally designed by Instructor Eric, is it strange that he would say such a thing?" Do you know what 'psychological warfare' is? I'm not afraid of your jokes, the female leader of the last dungeon once confessed to me, saying that the mission asked me to meet at the twilight tavern at night, and I was shocked at the time, and I went to the tavern to wait for one night, and spent two months' salary. ”
"Oooh, I see!"
The cadet suddenly came back to his senses, clenched his weapon, and looked at Alduin with an unwavering look in his eyes.
"Dare to scare Lao Tzu, see if I don't kill you!"
"That's pretty much it."
The head of the regiment nodded with satisfaction, and greeted the group members: "Get ready, it's going to be up, and the next batch is still waiting." ”
"Yes! Head! ”
Seeing that the verbal attack failed, Alduin fell into a complete frenzy, and the enraged dragon's breath poured down, splashing a string of white light each time......
Soon, there will not be a single living person left on the battlefield.
"I am Alduin, I am the destroyer of the world, and you should fear me!!"
He repeated the phrase and flapped his wings and disappeared into the sky.
