Chapter 23: The Fall

Aska, whose whole body was infested with darkness, let out a roar of rage, stood still in place, making a final transformation.

Superman looked at the still giant, stopped his attack, and quietly watched his changes.

Either way, it's true that Askar saved the city, and as long as he is willing to stop now, Superman won't continue to fight.

At this moment, Askar's heart is changing.

Why? Why is this happening? Gaia...... I just want to protect my family, why did Superman come back to stop it?

Is it all my fault? Am I the last person I should be?

No, you're not, you're not at fault, it's the world that's really wrong, it's the world that doesn't want you to save your family, it's the world that wants to destroy your family...... So, if the world wants to destroy you, then let's destroy the world together!

Together...... Destroying the world...... Yes, as long as all the things that prevent me from saving my family are eliminated, and all the things that hurt my family are eliminated.

In this way, my family will never be hurt again, and I will be able to continue living with my own family.

A black power spreads from Aska's body, constantly eroding the interior of the Giant of Light, staining everything around him black.

And just as the darkness was about to blacken everything, a powerful light erupted from a corner, dispelling the darkness around it.

"Askar, it's not the world's fault, it's not your fault, it's just that your method is wrong."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Gaia? Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Askar's tears couldn't help but flow.

"Well, it was originally just an insurance measure, but I didn't expect to use it immediately." Gaia smiled bitterly, and then said, "I'm running out of time, so I'll just get straight to the point." It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you hide your identity from the beginning, if you went directly to the Hero Guild, nothing like this would have happened, and your life wouldn't have been changed, it's all my fault, if you want to be angry, be angry with me. ”

"No...... No! It's my fault, it's me who is obsessed with power, it's me who is so naΓ―ve that I enjoy the fame that comes with power and doesn't even notice everything around me. It's all my fault...... If I hadn't indulged in the vanity of heroes at first, none of this would have happened and you wouldn't have left...... It's my fault......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Fortunately, there is still a chance to save it, so let's get out of this dark place together. ”

Askar looked at Gaia's outstretched palm, and tears flowed down her face again.

"Hmm!" Holding Gaia's hand, Aska left this dark world and returned to reality.

Outside, the giant of light, who had been standing still, suddenly cracked its pitch-black shell, and a golden light shot out.

Seeing such a situation, the woman was shocked and asked in a panic: "They actually have a back hand, what should they do outside?!" ”

Seeing that there was no sound next to her, the woman turned her head to look over, but she couldn't find Tianlan's figure anymore.

"You bastard! Don't you even know how to notify me if you slip away?! With a scolding of rage, the woman fled into the darkness and left the place.

Tianlan, who had already come thousands of miles away, said with a smile: "Eh, he really deserves to be a hero of the Light Clan, even if he is sacrificed, he can leave such a powerful backhand, which is really admirable." ”

"You're embarrassed to admire, you just said that it doesn't matter, and now you're running faster than anyone else, it's really convincing."

The woman came out of Tianlan's shadow, scolding Tianlan as she drilled.

"Ahaha." Tianlan smiled for a moment, and then explained: "I didn't expect it, this is interesting, if it is so easy to solve, then the Light Clan is not your natural enemy." ”

"Humph!" The woman snorted coldly, she didn't believe Tianlan's nonsense.

I just want to excuse myself, as for what I said, I understand the righteousness so deeply.

"Alright, don't talk about those useless things, you can tell me what to do next, presumably after this incident, the Giant of Light will be even more difficult to deal with than before. I don't need to let such a good hostage go, and I chose to run away directly, which really convinced you. ”

Tianlan smiled for a moment, and then said, "I haven't been so despicable as to use hostages, and besides, as a powerful dark clan, you should not disdain the despicable act of using hostages." ”

"If you talk nonsense, that's of course. I'm also a great dark clan, how could I use the despicable act of hostages, that's a trick that only the wicked people of the lower three will use, I'm a great dark clan, of course, I have to defeat the light clan with dignity, this is my way of survival! ”

What a woman is saying, if someone who does not know sees it, he thinks that she is some kind of righteous person, and she does not look like a wicked person at all.

And Tianlan looked at the woman who was reckless here, and also chuckled, and said, "Okay, the next thing is to wait for the next thing to think about, I've been busy for so long recently, it's time to take a good rest." ”

"Hey! You're a passive slacking off, I'm also your boss, be careful that I deduct your salary! ”

"Uh...... So can you settle your previous salary? ”

"This ...... After we conquer the world, we will directly give you half of the country as a salary. ”

"What to do, after listening to your words, I suddenly want to strike."

"Don't!" The woman hugged Tianlan's thigh directly and cried: "You can do it, help me, if I were alone, I would be killed directly." ”

"Okay, okay, seeing that you're so pitiful, I'm going to help you once."

"Really?! Banzai! The woman was overjoyed and cheered loudly, not at all aware of being a descendant of the Dark Clan.

On the other hand, Askar, who broke through the darkness and returned to normal, was temporarily relieved to see that the old mother and Lucy were not in danger.

As long as he does not destroy the dark people, he will never have a day of peace.

Now although the other party has escaped, at least his family is safe, and this is the biggest victory.

Then Aska looked at Superman again, didn't say anything, just nodded at Superman, and flew away.

Superman watched the Giant of Light leave, looked around for a moment, and then left the place as well.

Just leave the rest to the logistics staff, he is indeed a hero, but he is not good at doing these troublesome things.

Askar, who had left, quickly returned, only this time not as a giant of light, but as a human.

When Askar returned, he looked at the unconscious old mother and Lucy, and didn't know how to talk to them.

He was also afraid, afraid that they would alienate him, that they would not accept that he was a giant of light.

But he had to say that it was indeed as Tianlan said, the person who caused this result was really himself, so now he had to solve it by himself.

"The ......"

"Needless to say." Aska was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lucy, "Auntie is fine, she's just unconscious." Other things, I don't want to know for the time being, as long as you're okay. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well! Tears flowed down again, and Aska stepped forward and hugged Lucy and his mother.

He was so scared that he couldn't breathe.

At first, he thought that being a hero was a very cool thing to be admired by thousands of people, but now he knows that even if he is a hero, he is just an ordinary person.

The same feeling of fear, the same feeling of powerlessness, the same loss of important things.

Now that Aska had learned about it, he was really afraid of losing them.

If he did lose them, Aska didn't know what he was going to do or what he would do.

Even now, although he has protected his family, the loss of his mentor has made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.

If you want to become a hero, you have to lose something, and now he is not a hero, he can't even protect his family, and what is there to talk about protecting the city.

But at least for now, for the sake of his family, he wants to be a hero, a hero who is not inferior to anyone and can solve everything.

When Aska's mother woke up from a coma, she was already in the hospital.

As soon as she woke up, she sat up in a panic and kept shouting: "Aska! …… Ascar! ”

Hearing her mother's call, Aska hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and soothe her mother's emotions.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's okay, it's okay......" She wept bitterly as she looked at her son, who was standing in front of her.

As a mother, she is also very afraid, afraid of losing Aska and losing her only son.

After the loss of her husband, her spirit became very fragile, although it was not visible on the surface, but from time to time she dreamed of her son, and like his father, he suddenly became a hero and left himself.

Whenever she thought of this, especially in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but glance at her son for comfort.

But knowing that one night, she didn't see her son, she roughly understood, but she couldn't admit such a fact.

I can only keep hiding it, praying all the time, hoping that all this is fake and that nothing has changed.

But this is just self-deception after all, how can the reality not change.

So she doesn't want her son to be a hero, she just hopes that he can always stay by her side, and she will always protect him as a mother.

"Mom, I'm ......"

"Needless to say, I know." The old mother interrupted Aska's words and said, "You have grown up and have your own dreams, and now your mother won't stop you, and she can't stop you." ”

From the moment Askar was born, I should have expected what happened today, how could Askar have always been a little child who needs to be cared for by his mother.

Now that the child has grown up, it is time to realize his dreams.

It's just that...... I still feel lonely.

Aska looked at the lonely old mother and felt a heartache, but he still held back his tears and said, "Well, I will take good care of myself and not let myself get hurt, and I will contact you when I am free, so ...... Don't worry about my son, my son is grown up and can take care of himself on his own......"

As she spoke, Askar couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

This is the first time he has grown up to leave his mother, and it is the kind that he will never see again, and when he thinks of this, Aska can't help but feel sad in his heart.

The old mother held Askar in her arms, feeling that it had been a long time since she had held him like this.

Tears crept across her face, and her voice was slightly choked and said, "You've grown up, so don't cry, it makes me want to cry a little......"

The mother and son hugged each other in the ward and cried.

This is the first time that a son has left his mother for so many years, and both the son and the mother feel a strong reluctance in their hearts.

But again they had to be separated.

One wanted his son to realize his dreams, and the other had to leave them to protect his family.
