vs 16 Final World Tree (19)
When the world of ashes officially began, the first world of ashes that White Night was involved in—
It was the rainy night when I was abandoned by my parents.
Bai Chen had heard him say it lightly.
But...... The first world of ashes often means "fear" hidden in the depths of memory.
He watched all this, saw the human figures rushing up from all directions, experienced only a brief moment of surprise, and then pulled out his knife - the bloody Tang knife, which could cut all illusions, was the most suitable weapon for him.
Very realistic people.
He doesn't trust other people, he doesn't believe in the whole world, he lives for himself, and easily uses human weakness to destroy each other.
However, he soon realizes that there is a huge system behind the existence of the Ember World, so he accepts the group's proposal to build an organization called the "King's Sword".
Bai Chen saw him as the leader of the King's Sword again, and he didn't look any different from the previous boy.
As if they didn't know, they thought they had been sheltered in the world of ashes, and happily recited slogans that seemed to be very powerful.
To create a new world, a world that offers "opportunity" for all.
But......
Bai Chen could see that in Bai Ye's heart, everything was meaningless.
He created this sword of the king, not for this ideal, he never had the ideal of a teenager, only reality and cruelty.
He walked in the killing city, looked at the husband who killed his wife, looked at the people who turned their backs on their companions, looked at the people who were forced by the public opinion to hang themselves, watched the weak being oppressed, watched countless people easily give up their ideals, and watched some people say that everything is great, and finally came to a relative position.
This person has seen too much sorrow, and his heart has long been numb, or he has never expected anything from people.
Desperate and disdainful of everything, he kept swinging his knife, cutting off the falsehood, and in his quest to climb to the top of the world of ashes...... There were no surprises.
Those human natures, cut in front of his eyes, are all boring things.
At last......
In a corner of the city, a wall of fire rose in the alley, and countless people were stopped behind the fire, with twin sword badges pinned to their bodies, struggling, shouting, trying to escape.
But it can't be.
—and outside the wall of fire, stood two teenagers.
"You ......" looked at the members who were thrown into the fire, and the boy looked at Hakuya in disbelief, "Hakuya, what are you doing?!" ”
"They don't have to exist." Bai Ye looked at them lightly, "There is no need to use them anymore, Frankenstein will use them to cause trouble." ”
The conflict with the King's Sword began seven years ago before he traveled to the Final World Tree.
It was a contradiction between him, named White Nights, and a participant named Frankenstein.
Bai Chen raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had seen a few pictures.
That Frankenstein...... The person who infiltrated the King's Sword seemed to be the ...... "final" experimenter before.
She suddenly felt that Bai Ye might not know all this, but just subconsciously "go with the flow", and the last resort can often be called ...... Cruel.
"But they're teammates!" The boy tugged at his collar.
He was actually a simple and straightforward teenager - he admired Bai Ye's intuition and ability, and believed that he would do it entirely because of his ideals.
But he ......
That was probably the first time he had seen the man in front of him.
"I don't have any idea of transforming this hopeless world," Hakuya stretched out his hand and ripped his fingers, one by one, from his collar, "I'll destroy him if I can—but until then, I'll do my best to stay out of it." ”
In fact, White Night has no goal.
It's not that you go with the flow, you just know that it doesn't make sense.
It doesn't matter what it is - anything, it doesn't make sense.
The boy looked at him, gritted his teeth, jerked back, and rushed towards the wall of fire - he wanted to save them.
Bai Ye was slightly stunned: "Crazy." ”
Then he turned and walked away.
There was a constant wail behind him, and as if he hadn't heard it, the moment he stepped out of the alley, a white tree grew in front of him—a huge tree, with branches that stretched beautifully and far away.
He gave up everything and became the first of these people.
……
Bai Chen looked back at the person who was covered in flames, then withdrew his gaze and looked down at the earrings in his palm.
The picture is dissipating little by little, the dazzling white light has passed, and Bai Ye has stood in the "Final World Tree".
He was the winner, but there was no smile on his face.
…… I don't feel like it's something to be excited about, and I don't feel like I've lost anything.
He never admitted it.
Therefore...... It's not a betrayal, but it's ......
"Can you call that human?" Eventually, under the World Tree, a white shadow appeared in front of him, "without feeling happy, nor angry, and even, not at all affected by the so-called human bonds." ”
"Probably not at all." Hakuya didn't care, "So, is this what it's called—'ultimately'." ”
"yes." Bai Ying said slowly, "This setting doesn't belong to anyone, it can be regarded as some kind of conscious creation." ”
"So, how can I defeat you."
"Kill yourself."
White Night fell silent.
He wasn't an idealist, and those words sounded like a joke to him.
Indeed, as a person who can give up anything-
Coming to the end, the other side said lightly, you can be the winner, but only if you "kill yourself".
Isn't that funny?
"It's as simple as that, if you want to break through this last world of ashes, then kill yourself—" White Shadow whispered, "only deny yourself, kill yourself." ”
It's actually ......
This way.
Bai Chen didn't know this, although she had been to "similar places".
"Huh." Bai Ye suddenly smiled, do you think I ...... Would you believe such a statement?
It's not that he doesn't want to believe it, it's that his existence is all based on his own almost stubborn judgment.
Judgment that does not trust everything.
It is impossible for such a person to deny himself.
Therefore, he just slowly summoned the Tang Dao that exuded a violent aura.
Bai Ying didn't stop his movements, but said lightly: "You are a human after all, digging your own grave, which is usually something that humans do." ”
"At least not yet."
"Good luck, then." White Shadow said again.
That night, eventually, the World Tree grew, and then—he really didn't become the true victor.
He did all he could, and it was "over".
When he woke up, he got a different piece of news.
His sister, who refused to receive any treatment, died that night.
Think your brother has gone too far? Or maybe it's heard everything before - no one knows.
