Chapter Seventy-Three: I Love You (End of the Book)
Fortieth year after the end of the Battle of Argus.
Plane exploration has been open for fifteen years, and the entire alliance has fallen into the frenzy of plane exploration, countless adventurers have obtained all kinds of rare treasures in other planes, and become rich overnight, of course, many adventurers have died in foreign lands.
But overall, there is a lot of life within the league.
Dimensional adventures are on the minds of more and more people, and the mages of Kenrito and Quel'Salas have become the most popular in the Alliance, and the merchants are looking forward to the mages finding new planes, which means new treasures and new opportunities.
And unlike the Alliance, this exploration frenzy did not spread to the Horde.
The portals of the first few planes of the alliance are within the range of Stormwind City, and the Stormwind Kingdom has a law that strictly prohibits tribal members from passing through the portals controlled by the kingdom, and even if they want to open portals to explore other new planes, the tribe does not have that strength, and their magic ability is too far from the alliance.
In the midst of this prosperity, Claudia bid farewell to her teacher, Sir Tyrosus, who rejected Claudia's offer to extend her life and chose to face her end on time.
At this moment, Claudia was alone in front of her mentor's grave, silent.
Gianna stepped forward from a distance, her face was still as delicate as it was decades ago, only a few traces of time in her eyes, "Don't be sad, it's his choice." ”
"I know my Valkyrie will send him to reincarnation."
Claudia nodded, and scattered along the cemetery with Gianna, she was silent for a long time, and finally suddenly said with emotion:
"You know, Gianna, in fact, for the universe, death, destruction, and the danger of the end of the world are all necessary."
"Why do you say that?" Gianna looked curious.
"For the universe, it doesn't matter about light and shadow, life and death, order and chaos, justice and evil, our thoughts have never had anything to do with the universe, in the eyes of the universe, death, chaos, killing, war, destruction, these are actually necessary."
Gianna stopped in shock, Claudia's words greatly challenged her cognition, and even she was a little worried about Claudia's thinking for a while.
Claudia looked at her and said with a wry smile: "Gianna, don't think about it, I've just recently seen more things from a higher perspective." ”
Gianna nodded, "What does the universe look like to you?" ”
Claudia asked rhetorically, "What if a forest that could only feed 10 people was crammed with 100 people?" ”
"What do you mean......" Gianna already somewhat understood what Claudia was trying to say.
"That's right, they will eat everything they can eat, even the bark, and when they can't find anything to eat, they will either starve to death together or kill each other."
"So, when the Titans created the Titan Creations, they created the Steel and Stone Men who didn't need to eat and couldn't reproduce properly, because they wouldn't empty Azeroth and threaten the safety of the Star Soul."
"In the same way, there is no point in a universe where everyone is like a dragon, and there is no point in a completely harmonious universe, because it will make the universe empty and go to extinction in advance."
"Therefore, the universe needs the existence of the dark side, the existence of executioners, the existence of monsters, and regular slaughter and disasters to help the universe clean up the excess burdens and make the universe continue for a longer time."
"The thoughts of living beings have never had anything to do with the universe, and good and evil have never had anything to do with the universe."
"And this is the irreplaceable place of death in the entire universe."
When she spat out the last word, Claudia couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she already understood the meaning of many of the words that the Void had said to her at the beginning, and she had already understood where her final threshold was.
But she was reluctant to move forward, even though fate had chosen her, although she was only one last step away from stepping into the final realm.
A billion years later, the world of the dead.
The Kingdom of Stormwind was the beginning of an extraordinary era of great glory, with its people conquering the heavens and worlds, leaving behind countless heroic deeds and legends.
However, there is no feast in the world, nothing can resist the power of time, the glory of the Stormwind Kingdom has long since ended, and the former kings have long since passed away, only Claudia still maintains her original form, staying under the giant tree.
Under the giant tree, the egg has long been extremely extensive, and the rune woman inside is still sleeping with her eyes closed, only the breath on her body has already surpassed the demigods, reached the limit of the limit, and is infinitely on the verge of qualitative change.
Claudia was never able to take the last step, and at this moment, she was waiting for someone.
Soon, she waited for someone to come, it was a sword-wielding girl in a green shirt, she combed her hair, dressed a bit like the ancients in Claudia's distant memory, in fact, she came from a fairy plane.
"You're Hades? Hades turned out to be a woman? Isn't there a lot of Hades in the legend, all of them are men? The girl pointed curiously at Claudia.
"What you said is just my incarnation, we are all masters of this dead world, but only the image of my essence has an irreplaceable bond with you."
"Fetters?" The girl was even more curious, "Are you saying you know my past life?" ”
"What about a past life?"
Claudia laughed, with a look of vicissitudes and nostalgia on her face, "To be precise, this is the 128,740th time I have sent you to reincarnation, and every time you return after death, I will wait for you here, help you recover the memories between you and me, and send you to reincarnation after you have stayed enough." ”
"So many times?" The girl couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"It's okay, I can bear it a few more times, I'll keep an eye on you here," Claudia smiled and pressed her hand to the other, "Now, please remember everything between you and me, my love." ”
"Don't, I don't want to remember!" The girl took a step back and screamed, interrupting the other's movements.
Claudia was stunned, and forced a smile: "Believe me, this will not erase your self, this is just a little memory between you and me, if you don't want to stay for a long time after reading the memories, I can immediately send you to reincarnation, and you can get as much identity as you want in the next life." ”
"No, I don't want to think about it, and I don't want your special treatment." The girl was about to leave in a panic, but she was surrounded by either Valkyrie, Anubisas, Minotaurs, Three-Headed Dogs, and other creatures of Claudia's bored life, how could she leave.
Claudia fell into deep thought, and after a long hesitation, she let out a final sigh and quickly pointed at the girl's forehead.
The girl closed her eyes, but when she opened them again, she remembered everything, and in Claudia's expectant gaze, her eyes grew red, and she hugged Claudia tightly, and finally spat out words that made her unbelievable.
"Don't wait any longer, Claudia," said the maiden, with tears streaming down her face, "what a cruel fate you have waited for too long. ”
"It's okay," Claudia patted the other party's back lightly and smiled softly, "Although many times I can't reincarnate with you anymore, even if I can only spend one more day with you in 100,000 years, I am willing." ”
"No, Claudia, don't you understand?" The girl suddenly broke free from her, and said excitedly while crying:
"I miss the days with you very much, I was really happy to have you with me during that time, and I love you very much, but our fate has been over since the moment I died, for a lifetime, that is the period of our fate, dear."
Claudia was stunned, she wanted to say something, but her lips moved and she didn't know what to say, and before she knew it, tears also remained.
"Let it go, my love, I love you, but if you still love me, don't wait any longer, don't stay where you are." The girl hugged her again and left a kiss, sighed, and turned away.
Claudia was the only one who stood still for a long time.
Millions of years have passed, and it is a reunion after the other party has changed several times.
Claudia finally made her final decision, and she reluctantly remembered the soul breath and turned and stepped into the sacred tree.
In an instant, the woman in the giant egg under the tree woke up.
Her body began to shrink, and her breath became more and more noble and pure, it was a breath more noble than the Titan, that was the breath that belonged to the true god, and she was transforming into the embodiment of death little by little.
The moment she finished transforming, a special wave resounded throughout the universe.
On a certain plane, a necromancer was casting a spell to attack the enemy, and suddenly, all of his undead army knelt down in unison, turning his head to look in the direction of the void.
On another plane, there was an abyss of death sealed by the monks, and in an instant, the seal collapsed, endless breath of death gushed out, and the entire Buddhist temple turned into a dead domain.
……
At this moment, all the souls in the universe are bowing down, all the sources of death are boiling, and they are all celebrating the birth of the true god of death in their own way.
In the next moment, Claudia, who was already outside the dimension, opened her eyes, and she spoke softly, and the voice sounded in the ears of all living beings in the universe:
"My name is Friggya, and I am the god of death."
"From now on, there will be heaven, there will be hell, there will be reincarnation, there will be angels."
With her words, the once sacred tree suddenly split, turning into magnificent buildings and standing in the world of the dead, and Claudia's creatures have also turned into angels in various forms, among which the Valkyrie elite began to grow four wings, and the Valkyrie queen began to grow six wings.
"I will give all things to the world to die equally."
As the last word fell, Claudia was silent, the blessing period of the new true god had passed, and it was time for her to meet some of the beings she once knew on the other side of the universe.
After meeting Elune, she saw the voice in the void in a palace.
It was a massive, dark, chaotic mass of amorphous shapes, frantically beating the invisible drum and roaring a disgusting melody, and around it, tens of thousands of Void Kings were howling wildly......
Then, before she could say a word, Claudia was beaten and thrown out by the mass...... But she is the rule itself, naturally nothing is wrong, but she feels a little unlucky, and after seeing another black giant snake not long after, she frowned and said:
"Was that interesting? Deliberately tricked me into going over to see your mad nature. ”
"Well, you lied to us once, this time it's just a matter of flattening, why do you still use 'I' to call yourself, shouldn't it be 'we'?"
"It's just a habit, and you can't change it for a while."
The serpent turned into a dark-haired human and smiled, "You'll get used to it, ma'am, because even a billion years are just a moment in the Eye of Eternity to us, and welcome, Friggia, we'll be your allies." ”
"I will only give all things equal death...... and new students, so we may or may not be friends. ”
Claudia turned to leave.
The dark-haired man shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly, twisting into a strange shape, he was very busy, and some of the subjects needed to be nagged......
Finally, countless years passed, and although Claudia did her best with death, the universe finally came to the final moment of destruction.
At this time when everything is withering, not to mention ordinary mortals, even the once great race of the Isis no longer have room for exchange, they are also dead.
Titans, Hell, Heaven, Reincarnation...... Countless living beings were destroyed, and finally turned into countless forces and poured into the few beings on the periphery of the universe.
Claudia held two souls in her hands, and she spoke to the two beings, "In the next era, we want these two souls to become innate gods. ”
A spiritual wave echoed from the dark, chaotic mass, the great amorphous mass: "But, we will give these two souls our destiny. ”
"It's been an era, can't you let it go?" Another ripple emanated from another figure of light with wings on its back.
"Maybe in the next era, we'll forget about them."
"Okay." After the influence of the winged man of light, she looked at the mass and said something that really mattered: "The next era needs to give birth to the true god of order." ”
The clump did not hesitate to veto: "Chaos! ”
"No, this era is already dead!"
"You have not suffered, this true god of death is the descendant of the children you created, and the next era must be chaotic......"
……
Claudia ignored their bickering, staring blankly at the two well-protected souls in her hands.
Even though she has experienced countless reincarnations, even if she has experienced so many years, she can always remember the brilliant and glorious years and the unregretted love she once had.
Much later, a nostalgic smile appeared on her face:
"Thank you, I love you."
