It was about Jeffreyla or the Crystal Nest being slaughtered by "Roland", and the projection of Higgs disappeared like a bubble.

However, just for a moment of looking at each other, some kind of peculiar rhythm was directly embedded in Roland's heart. With these strange whispers that kept ringing, Roland felt an abyssal tranquility.

It was the power of the Resting Realm that had been flipped upside down. For the first time, Roland realized how terrible this complete mental silence was.

Roland felt his soul become heavy. Then he felt himself drift into the unfathomable abyss, and a scented warmth kept patting his face gently. It was as if he were floating in a hot ocean scented with roses—a sea of scorching medicinal liquor, the warm waves crashing against the shore of the brass-colored flames, shattering into a froth.

When he woke up again, Roland found himself in a strange place.

It was a very large room, with a roof tens of meters high, and it was by no means inhabited by humans.

Beneath him is a dark brown floor carved with intricate patterns, and the church-like high dome is scattered with colorful glass, which are randomly and messily combined, exuding a strange and wild beauty.

And around him were seven or eight ridiculously irregular tetrahedral bookshelves like inferior pyramids, and countless books, large and small, hung on the shelves, maintaining a dangerous balance at a strange angle.

Tick.

Tick.

Before he could get a sense of his surroundings, Roland suddenly realized the familiar sound that kept echoing in his ears in the silence.

- I've been here before.

A vague impression made Roland aware of this.

Following the hint of his own enlarged instinct, Roland immediately looked up and found a huge coffin-like table clock.

Yes, it came out of nowhere—a coffin-like table clock that ran from the floor to the roof, and even the top had opened its roof to the outside. But when Roland looked up at the cathedral-like dome, he didn't notice anything like pillars attached to the roof, and the roof with a wonderful curve was intact.

The three hands of the wall clock are exactly the same length and vibrate at the same frequency and with different strides. It's not like a timekeeping, it's more like it's constantly prompting something, sending some kind of signal to the outside world.

[I'm going to open it-]

After such a thought came to Roland's mind, a gap naturally appeared in the table clock. It looks like Roland can open it directly with a slight lift.

But at this moment, an inexplicable fear hit Roland's mind, and the flowing cold aura gently tore at the back of his neck, making everything in front of him extremely clear, but it kept getting farther away like drunkenness. It constantly warns Roland not to open this coffin.

[That's my mission—]

A rage that had neither warning nor any reason provoked Roland's anger. He let out a terrible scream of hatred, and the entire space shook.

First the walls, then the floor, then the shelves and the books—instinct allowed Roland to drive some force to twist everything in front of him, to melt them like cream, to flow and become one, and then to silver flames, to turn the whole world into a sea of fire. The clock was burned, and its camouflage was removed, revealing the coffin below, but the ticking sound did not disappear, but resounded more clearly and loudly in Roland's heart.

Roland looked at the coffin in a daze, and two lines of tears poured out inexplicably.

The sound of strips of cloth being torn apart rang out. Roland forcefully parted the palms of the nails together, and the ticking silver-gray blood flowed, soaking the dim yellow strips of cloth.

He violently tore off the strip of cloth wrapped around his eyes and lifted the coffin with trembling hands.

-- Lying inside the coffin were two bodies that had been burned beyond recognition by the silver flames.

However, Roland could recognize who it was.

“…… Sister. ”

That's myself, and my sister's body.

He stroked the cheeks of the two corpses with trembling hands, recognizing a fact he had been ignoring all along.

That's right, he had already remembered that he and his sister were originally alone.

When she was eight years old, Roman had gone insane after her mother was killed with an iron pick in a panic by the thief on that rainy day.

Brother, thief, man in black, host, doctor, puppet...... In response to her needs, many personalities appeared in her mind to share the pain and excitement that she could not bear. At its most, Roman even had seventeen personalities.

Later, after mental stability, after the treatment of the psychiatrist and Roman's own efforts to recover, all the personalities except Roland have sunk. Roland, as her "younger brother", became Roman's enlightener and guide. Even the name was given to him by Roman.

"Ah......h

Roland opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

-- I should have thought of it a long time ago. Why did my sister disappear into thin air that night, and why did my sister and myself come to Faense......

Looking back now...... Even then, my sister had already come to Faense. Her mission is about the same as her own, all of which is to save Faenns.

However, she failed.

Roland was her second and final chance with Faennes.

The shell of the "Roman" was empty at this time. If Roland were to die, it would mean that Roman and all of Faennes would disappear forever into the twilight.

The fact is that Roland and his sister are one, and their talents should be the same.

From the time he first came into contact with Higgs, Roland's fluid origins had awakened. However, the Eye of Orm thinks that this is harmful to Roland, and does not make Roland aware of it, causing Roland to forget his origins again.

In addition to the Mentor, the Eye of Aum is also a Sage who has been following Roland from the beginning.

Just like the premise in the game, the system panel is the gift of the Eye of Aum, the law itself that is sorted out and empowered. He, like his mentor, was Roland's guardian.

Why did the Three Sages take good care of Roland from the beginning, why Roland became the elect and the Pope, and what the Three Sages were looking forward to - at this moment, Roland understood everything.

Touching Twilight does give you a special ability, but the way to obtain this ability is to be reborn with the help of Twilight's power.

-- What the Three Sanctuaries hope is that Roland can resurrect Roman, so that the two broken souls can be reunited into a complete one, and the two origins of "union" and "flow" will be one.

If he gains dual authority, Roland can embed himself in the whole of Faennes, using the planets as a boat, so that Faennes has the ability to wander around the universe at will, so as to avoid the perception of the Dusk Seed.

"—but, I refuse."

Roland's hand paused slightly, and after choosing between the two corpses for a moment, he naturally put his hand on his corpse's chest.

In the next moment, the corpse that belonged to Roland himself suddenly turned to dust, and under his dim yellow bandage, new flesh and blood grew rapidly.

After he made his choice, the illusion quickly collapsed. The "blind prayer seekers" once again vanished into thin air.

But this time, unlike before, Roland already has the ability to control his Twilight incarnation. He could summon it at any moment and use it to wreak havoc on any of the twilight species that descended on Faennes in a projection.

When Roland opened his eyes again, he was back in Frankfurt.

"Why are you bothered, Roland......"

The incarnation of the Elder Sleep Mentor appeared behind him at some point, and sighed deeply, "I know your limits. You alone can't protect the whole of Faennes by your own strength. ”

"Of course I do."

However, Roland was unmoved.

He turned his back to his mentor and said in a deep voice, "You are right, my words alone will not save Faennes's fate...... However, this is a mortal age. ”

"I may not be able to change the fate of this world. But I can try to change the fate of all human beings in this world. If you think of twilight as the end of the world, all you can think about is how to delay it. But if you see it as an enemy, you will think about how to defeat it...... I'm going to be the enemy of the twilight. ”

"That's right, we can't defeat the Twilight Seed. But that's just our world, our universe...... When Faenes gets out of this dead zone, we'll be able to see more people, more living forces. If they are willing to serve me as Lord, I will be surrounded by an infinite number of people. Since Twilight has an infinite number of them, we will strike them in an infinite number of them. After tens of thousands of years, tens of millions of years, there is always hope of victory. ”

“…… Are you going to be immortal, Roland? ”

At this time, it was as if he knew Roland for the first time: "This means that you will never see your sister-"

"We'll see you always. She'll wait for me. ”

Roland muttered, turning back to his knees at his mentor.

"Mentor, please show me the way."

"I'm going to be the savior, I'm going to be the spiritual leader of all who aspire to fight the twilight...... I want to be emperor. ”

"I am, the enemy of twilight—" (To be continued.) )
