At this moment, above the ruins.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the strange middle-aged man and was dumbfounded.

"Dude, who are you?"

The figure projected in the Divine Cauldron tilted its head to look at him and asked, "You shouldn't be unguessed, right?"

Ye Qingxuan subconsciously looked at the sky, then looked down at the projection in front of him, and asked tentatively: "King of Yellow?"

The visitor shrugged slightly, "It's like a fake." ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent for a long time, and said in a muffled voice: "I thought it would be the King of the Red." ”

"It should have been. ”

The Yellow King looked around and said lightly, "Originally, he came here fifteen minutes ago, Asgard wants to split the material realm and rebel against the principles of the Holy City, he will definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen." ”

Ye Qingxuan understood what he meant.

"Do you have a way to stop him?"

"His teleportation is based on the aetheric cycle of the human world, and it just so happens that this piece is under my control. ”

The Yellow King replied, undisguised as to the disagreement between himself and the Red King, "By the way, the Green King has also decided to give up interfering in the changes in the human world, and the excessive power has led to the estrangement between him and the human race, and the Green Kings of all generations have chosen to self-exile.

So, you don't have to worry that you'll be his enemy, and even if he is determined to do so, it won't be you. ”

Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Ignoring the chaotic thoughts in his mind, he looked at the unexplained King of Justice, and asked bluntly: "So, did you come here to fight?"

"Destroying this kind of thing has always been the job of the Blue King, and I am only responsible for repairing and putting the finishing touches on it. ”

The Yellow King didn't care about locking himself into the New Testament Sword, nor did he show any hostility, just looked at him: "So, there is no need for this kind of boring temptation, why don't we talk openly and honestly?"

"Sorry, I don't have time. ”

Ye Qingxuan responded indifferently: "If you don't want to fight with me, then lock the surrounding space and remove it, I still have something to do." ”

The sword of the New Testament flipped over, and the iron light of the sword spine reflected in the void around the two of them, and the sound of steel grinding burst out, and at some point, the two were already in a cage.

"I'm sorry. ”

The Yellow King sighed, "Although I don't want to fight, I can't let you go to the Golden Palace."

If you insist on doing it to me, I can tell you the result - if I defend with all my might, you won't be able to kill me. Although you will win, if I don't die, you can't leave here.

I will not let anyone else meddle in the battle of the Golden Palace, and the outcome there is very important to me. ”

Ye Qingxuan's eyes became colder.

"That's your reason?" he scoffed, "I thought everything on earth had nothing to do with you. ”

"This time, that time. ”

"No, since you've made up your mind to let it go in the first place, don't meddle in with such a ridiculous excuse in the future. ”

Ye Qingxuan raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "Don't you want unfettered freedom?" Go back to the sky and go back to your iron cage."

King of the Yellow, your freedom is not here. ”

"You're right, but the significance here is just as great to me – it's the last time I've ever appeared in this world as the Yellow King. ”

The Yellow King chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It's better to say that I came here to retire from this position. ”

He paused and looked at Ye Qingxuan:

"How about making a bet with me?"

"Do I have room to refuse?" Ye Qingxuan asked coldly.

"It's not fair to you, but aren't you going to hear about the game and my bets?"

The Yellow King withdrew his gaze from him and looked in the direction of the Golden Palace, thousands of miles away, such a long distance, he could still glimpse the fierce light one after another, the thrilling roar.

He suddenly asked, "Ye Qingxuan, who do you think will win?"

"What about you?"

Ye Qingxuan looked at him in a mean tone, "Who do you hope will win?"

"No, I would like the Holy City to lose, but I don't want the Charr to win. The Yellow King said indifferently, "It's better to say that I hope it's best to lose both." ”

Lose both......

Ye Qingxuan was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Everyone has always said that among the people in the world, you are the closest to me. But can you understand my feelings? Ye Qingxuan. That kind of ......"

After thinking for a moment, the Yellow King sighed softly, revealing the word:

"That kind of ...... 'Disappointment' with it all. ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent.

In silence, the Yellow King took to himself and sat down on the broken steps, and continued:

"I've been puzzled for a long time, what do I think of all this?

From the Yellow King's point of view, I don't want this distorted world to gradually lose order and eventually fall apart due to the original sin of human beings, but there is nothing I can do.

From a musician's point of view, I don't want everything in this world to be shackled in the cradle by some organization in the name of justice and righteousness, and it is difficult to even breathe, but I don't have the courage to overturn all this.

From a mortal point of view, I long to be free from all these bonds, but I cannot break with it. I was destined to be the least free in the world.

That's the most ridiculous part, and I can't get what I want from that point of view. ”

He took his scepter and laughed mockingly, "What I have asked for all my life has been destined to be denied from the moment I put on this crown." ”

"After all, what you hate the most is yourself, right?"

Ye Qingxuan looked at him coldly, "You're just running away from yourself, running away, pretending that none of this happened, you didn't see it, looking for illusory peace and freedom, in an iron cage floating in low-earth orbit."

You're here now, just hoping that someone else will rush out and smash the stall, giving you an excuse to abandon it all and continue to find an escape!"

The Yellow King was stunned.

For a long time, he laughed.

"Yes, that's it. ”

He made no secret of his ugliness and insignificance, and calmly faced Ye Qingxuan's mockery. "As the Yellow King, I have to guard the balance, but now, the balance that directs everything to good no longer exists, and all I can get is the balance of evil.

Then I have no choice, and the balance of evil is better than the destruction of good. ”

He paused, his eyes became serious, and there was no room for questioning or resistance, truly like the Yellow King: "To be cruel, I want Charles to die in battle, and the Holy City will be greatly damaged by this."

So, I need you to stay here. ”

"Nothing may go your way. ”

Ye Qingxuan clenched the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. A cacophony erupted from the void, the loud sound of the iron light of the New Testament slashing across the cage.

The incarnation of the Yellow King fell apart before the blade of the New Testament, and in the next moment, gathered again, extinguished, and reunited, as if it had passed through endless life and death, and reached eternity.

His aura suddenly became erratic and weak, and even the projection of the Divine Cauldron vanished.

The whole person is like a phantom, about to dissipate in the next moment.

But the cage did not waver at all, and it was even more stable than before.

It was something that was above the holy, above all the realms and realms of the world, something that forsaken everything else and sought only stability and isolation!

"Do you think that I've been sleeping with my eyes closed since I've been 'confined' for so long?"

The Yellow King looked at him sideways, and then showed a complicated smile: "After all, I still have some understanding...... Welcome to my world, Ye Qingxuan. ”

"That's what you realize? A cage that keeps the world out? You should find a psychiatrist to cure your autism!"

"Yes, when it's over, I will. ”

The Yellow King said lightly, "Now, now, let's go back to the original topic."

- Would you like to make a bet?"

He said, "Who wins and who loses the war in the Golden Palace?"

Ye Qingxuan didn't respond to him, but the King of Huang said to himself: "I bet that it will be Xia Er who wins, what about you?"

"Charles?"

Ye Qingxuan only felt like sneering when he heard it.

Regardless of the position of the Yellow King, if you think about it, you don't think that one person has a chance of winning against the Order that has ruled the entire old era for hundreds of years.

"Ye Qingxuan, there is one thing that you don't want to admit from the beginning. ”

The Yellow King said unhurriedly, "That's - the Charr is by no means the 'human' you think.

His essence is above man from the beginning, something non-human.

If he had been able to hide in the weeds in disguise, he would never have been able to return to the mortal world when Gaius woke him up.

He is different from you, he is the Son of God, in the literal sense of the word.

For a long time, everyone understands this, but you don't want to admit it.

You'd rather him lose and die here as a human than see him win, right? If that's the friendship between you, I think I'll need to help you get a number when I go to the psychiatrist. ”

Ye Qingxuan was silent.

After a long time, he raised his head: "You're right, I'd rather my friend die in human form than become the kind of thing he doesn't want to become......

Even if everyone in the world thinks he is omnipotent, whether he is a god or a monster, in my heart, he will always be Charles, my brother, and my friend. ”

Ye Qingxuan was absolutely unwilling to admit the prophecy of the Yellow King.

Even if it did, Charles would die there.

Even if it will be the Holy City that has the last laugh.

"In that case, the gamble was set. ”

The Yellow King laughed softly, and that laughter was mocking Ye Qingxuan, and he was also mocking himself, "Once...... A bet that neither side wants to win. ”

The King of Huang who hopes that the Charr can win, and Ye Qingxuan, who hopes that the Order can win.

If the Yellow King wins, the Order will lose the power to fight back, and the old world he has defended is doomed to be wiped out in the distant future.

If Ye Qingxuan wins, then he will lose his most important friend.

Neither side wants to win in the end, but they are also unwilling to face defeat. Those who win will not be redeemed, but those who lose will still have to taste the bitter fruit.

As the King of Yellow said.

This is the balance of evil.

In the silence, the Yellow King stared into the distance, looking at the cracked sky and the world ignited by war.

"Well, as a punishment for failure......"

He made a bet, "Let the loser be the king of the yellow." ”
