[Below, the name is despair, which means to give up]

(This...... Impossible, but ...... ）

The "girl" raised her head sadly, and her amber eyes were still as moving as the soul. The face of the beautiful puppet is full of shame, revealing the greatest resistance and helplessness.

(Why is it here, why is it like this...... ）

Like a delicate Chinese doll that was manipulated, it appeared by the side of the demon mother in the most luxurious and beautiful posture, and was deprived of arrogance and calmness, and was reduced to such a pitiful and pathetic ......

"Sheng......"

"It's amazing, you can still recognize it," the empress's silver mask shone with a cold light, and the only pupil she showed was blue and cold, with a merciless smile, "It took a little effort to finally find this little guy in that damn ding, your first contractor......"

The stone claw attacked the empress, but was destroyed by the thunder! Returning a sneer at Petra's anger, the empress gently rubbed her white porcelain-like face with the back of her jade white hand: "I've checked the situation a little, what's wrong with you, in order not to be completely manipulated by the contractor, you must find a way to find out the contractor's weaknesses, and in turn, using the contractor and controlling the contractor is the consciousness that the demon race should have, right?"

"Don't touch him!" Petra knew that Sheng hated being touched and toyed with the most, but the white crystals that were pushing around him trapped him.

"It doesn't seem that you are ignorant of the contractor's weaknesses, but do you really treat him as a friend without getting to the bottom of what is going on?, stupid child," the empress sneered, hugging Sheng in her arms, "the contractor should be held in his arms like this, but this is not a friend but a prey, and after playing with it, he will be strangled in his arms and devoured, you better remember." ”

The rock shattered the white crystal, Petra couldn't think about it, so she could only face Wan Jun Thunder: "I remember that it is taboo to hurt the contractor of other monsters, are you forcing me to kill you!"

"That's what I want to say to you, he's my contractor now, and you're no longer in a position to meddle. The empress covered Sheng's mouth with one hand, and a white intricate pattern appeared on the back of her hand, showing sovereignty!

Petra's pupils shrank suddenly—yes, Sheng had already broken their contract against Blackwater Hime, so he hadn't been able to detect Sheng's aura as easily as he had been along the way...... And now, for the first time, he has seen his mother's contract proof, and Sheng is no longer his contractor!

"It's a pity that you have no interest in the contractor's past, isn't it in my opinion that such a kitten is cuter than the ghost god boy you know?" asked the empress with a smile as if looking down at the trembling Sheng.

(Despicable, is it necessary to destroy the scars of Sheng, as long as I cherish them......?) No matter how much she collided, she couldn't completely break free from the cage of the white crystal, and Petra finally understood her weakness.

"Look, what a powerless and stupid child, I can't believe this is my only son," he said to Sheng in an intimate tone in Chinese, the empress with a cold look in her eyes, "It's really a stupid ...... 'Destroying Star King' Opasa Daxter, that's the child's father, cruel and stupid, too strong to fight...... Yes, just like your father's distant mountain......"

"Shut up!" Petra saw Sheng's eyes darken.

"Your mother and daughter Luo and I are in the same path, and the bastard Opasan has conquered my world and killed both of my henchmen. With nothing to do, I was forced to surrender to him, and through marriage I got the "Starry Sky Boundary Alliance" to redeem the territory...... Maybe I'm only more powerful than your mother. I think about revenge all the time, and then just as your mother conceived you, I am also pregnant with Petra......" The Empress gently rubbed Sheng's soft black hair, "For your mother, you are the only salvation, and Petra is ...... to me too"

"Is it the same?you've always wanted to imprison me in the Northcontinent, and to you I'm just a tool for revenge on your father, what right do you have to pretend to be a loving mother!" The long-standing resentment turned into rose-colored flames and melted crystals, and Petra lost her cool.

"Petra must not have told you about it, did she, lest you think he was pitying you and pitying herself...... But you are undoubtedly stronger than Petra, you have the will to take revenge at any cost, but Petra is not, he has been a strange child who yearns for human life since he was a child, and this ridiculous idea of being close to human beings is the same as his father's, which really breaks my heart. The empress spoke softly, but at the same time, her thunder and lightning smashed through the rock monsters, "You know very well, right? Petra is too gentle and kind, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a demon, this is really a shame...... The distant family can't tolerate you and your mother, and Opasa won't let Petra and me go, so just like you need to break through the seventh order to slaughter the distant family, Petra also has to awaken the demonic power to destroy the Daxter dynasty. So, lend us strength......"

"Mother, if you wish, I can be a minion to tear my father apart, but I beg you to let Sheng and Nelly go!" Petra's voice was hoarse, and his blue eyes were full of pleading as he looked up at the Witch Mother.

"I'm glad you're back with me, my child," the Witch Mother's beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with tenderness and love, "but this is not the eyes of the strong, you can't deal with that unscrupulous madman with a bond, and for the sake of our future, you have to give up your superfluous emotions—"

The hand that appeared on the contract seal strangled the slender and white neck: "Don't think that boring bonds will make you strong, take a good look, it is because you have to die, this is what you owe him...... Never approach the weak, my child, the prince of our demon realm......! This is your way of being, bringing death, bringing fear to all beings!"

"N-Sheng!" there was no way, Petra watched as those stubborn and beautiful eyes lost their brilliance, and the figure that should have sunk into death finally returned to darkness once again.

Crushing the crystal, Petra hugs the body of her insulted best friend.

......Seeing him die like this in the end made Petra feel that everything would end in the rain of mercury, at least at that time Sheng was full of happiness and pride, and fought bloodily to the end with his most beloved evil lord and most trusted predecessor......

"Really...... Why don't you see it...... I'm sorry to let you be captured by another opponent......" The little wild cat in his arms, who had always been uncontrollable, finally stopped resisting, remembering that it was Sheng who said that the power of life lies in disobedience.

Two figures, one red and one white, appeared in the corners of her eyes, and Petra looked up and saw the beautiful smiling faces of Nelly and Teng Ji.

"Master......" Seeing that Teng Ji no longer had a warm smile, Petra smiled bitterly, "Not only Nelly, but also other monsters with the master's body, Ephine, you are so cruel." ”

"They are your most cherished beings, wouldn't it be more intimate to use their bodies as receptacles for your henchmen?" and as for your dear friends...... Mother explained without pity, "they are too stubborn, they are little wild cats that only scratch people, so they should be buried with their bodies together." Of course, Petra, I don't want to push you into a corner, you know what, there's a way to get them back - your father, Opasa Daxter, manipulates time and space. ”

Watching her best friend lose her human form and transform into a little flower cat again, Petra nodded quietly.

"If I can destroy the Darkster dynasty, I can also let my father turn time and plane and rewrite their ending, right......" When she looked up again, Petra's gentle blue eyes became hollow and cold.

"Well, so let's get revenge together, if not for me, but for them," the empress gently hugged her only son, as if taking the long-lost family affection into her arms, "and now, get rid of the annoying silver python." ”

——·——

Nearly leveling the mountains in the town of Shirovra, He Yanfang personally killed the general of the Black Water Hime, the mercury witch Graceia Hirovla.

After this, He Yanfang immediately rushed to the battlefield of Steelland. He didn't think that the battle situation would be in his favor, but he was greeted by a worse situation-

"Stop, senior. Standing on the throne of the dome, Petra's expression was cold, "That's enough, since Grace Shirovra is also dead, then you don't need to fight anymore, right?"

"Peijun, did you still choose to cling to the dead thing......" Holding the silver spear tightly, He Yanfang smiled bitterly and stared at his lifeless rocky face.

Gently rubbing the cold body of the kitten in her arms, Petra's expression did not change at all: "I told you, as long as it is not destroyed, there must be hope...... And this is their body, if they can't come back, how can I bear to destroy the last proof of their existence...... It's my choice. ”

"As I said, I don't know if there is any other way to save Yu Xuan besides the killer...... For now, there is no other way, so be rational or ruthless, and even if you stand in your way, I will kill the dead. The smile faded completely, and the expressionless He Yanfang looked simply magical, his dark pupils seemed to be able to devour everything, unwavering and emotionless-

Xenomorph Four's "Soul Shocking" ability is activated, and the demon-slaying silver spear erupts silver dust, agitating a fierce silver storm with great power!

"I can't be as rational as my predecessors, I can't do anything to my beloved. "Rose-colored flames stained her vision, and Petra unleashed countless rock beasts at her comrades who had fought side by side not long ago!

"I don't know what to do," He Yanfang still maintained his appearance, but the pressure of revealing his true nature had filled the entire vast space, "but at least I can know that I can't allow you to attack them, and there is absolutely no way that our fight will stop here." ”

"How calm, I must have done something stupid in your opinion," Petra gathered her strength, "no matter how painful it is, I have decided to do it......"

He Yanfang raised his hand.

Silent explosions kicked up dust across the beach, and flashes of light faster than the speed of sound split the sea in half......

But the shot was missed.

A belated sense of depression and terror enveloped Petra's perception, and he finally realized what a terrifying monster He Yanfang was!

The gunfire slashed diagonally across the distant sea, and the sea exploded in an instant, and a violent vibration swept in, and the blasting wind swept up a huge amount of seawater, bringing torrential rain like a waterfall!

"Peijun, do you think you're the only one who suffers?" It was so intense that the sky and the sea were shaken, and he said slowly in the heavy rain, He Yanfang stared at him, "I really don't understand, do you think I'm calm?"

Under Petra's stunned gaze, he laughed again, still with that beautiful, too casual smile: "Is it because I'm still laughing? But why don't you laugh, my brother taught me that smiling is the greatest contempt for the enemy...... I'll smile at you falsely next time, Pei-kun. ”

The killing intent that filled the sky and sea slowly converged, and he turned around: "I'm tired, goodbye." ”

Without the expected pestering persuasion, this was the only time Petra saw the angry and tired He Yanfang.

"I'm sorry, senior......" Looking at the combined army that had gathered its troops in confusion, Petra did not pursue. He lowered his head and muttered, but felt a slight tug between his fingers.

When I came back to my senses, there was a lilac, small goblin in front of me, I hadn't seen it for a long time, it was Morphy, a goblin who had been tamed by Sheng.

“Morphy?” Looking at the weak little goblin, he spoke softly.

The leprechaun named Murphy hurriedly flapped his wings a few times in response, then weakly clasped his hand and made some inexplicable sounds.

"I'll leave for a moment. He hurriedly shook off the red queen and found a corner to sit down.

Murphy tightened her body, and her cute human-like appearance faded away, and that beautiful life turned into a small piece of purple crystal.

"Even you ......"

"I hope you can hear it, Aning......" When he was surprised by the true form of the little goblin, a voice came from the crystal that should not have been heard again, "Well, I'm Tono Sheng......"

- Petra

When I heard the voice, I subconsciously looked at the kitten in my arms, but it was impossible, I knew very well that it was just a meaningless monologue that transcended time and space.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but when I woke up, I saw your mother. Personality or something won't be revealed to a prop like me anyway, but what a beauty, you look a lot like her...... I'm not in a position to say anything about hating her or anything, but you have to at least accept that you belong to the truth.

"You are the child of her and the Broken Starlord, the crystallization of doom and power. So when she explained it to me in detail, I understood which kind of fate is absolute power, yes, death, that is your essence......"

That's right, my essence is death, so whatever I want to get close to will be lost, and all I can give you is death......

"I don't have much time to talk nonsense, so I'll just say it...... Listen, your strength is important, no matter what, I hope you can help Mr. He in my place, and never let your strength return to your mother...... Your power should be used as a counterbalance, not as a counterbalance......"

But...... You, who I tried so hard to protect, as well as the master and Nelly, are gone...... This power, called "checks and balances", no longer has any effect......

"Your mother wants to use your power against your father, please don't do that, I am afraid that the power of the king of power is not something you can easily oppose...... The contract I exchanged for death is that your mother cannot make a move against you and Mr. He, and if you have this agreement, I believe that Mr. He can use your power correctly. I have a hunch that the brave people who can fight against the demon kings will gradually gather around Mr. He, so you can follow him with confidence......"

But, Sheng, I know that he is in such pain, but I am angry with him and hurt him...... I don't have the face to see him again, and I don't have the right to ask him to forgive me for my words......

"Ah, is there still time? I'm so nervous, I'm afraid I'll be discovered by your mother......" She can pretend to be so relaxed in captivity, and she is really similar to Mr. He, "I met Miss Nellie, she is very beautiful, not only gentle and kind, but also very strong, worthy of your beloved woman." We don't speak the same language, but I'm sure she understands what I mean...... We've fled together a few times, and it's amazing that she's so weak and still smiling. She's actually very talented, and she's learned a lot of fighting skills under my lame gestures...... But unfortunately, I could only watch her slowly transform from a gentle human woman into a monster...... We all feel lucky to know you, so don't feel like our death is your fault...... By the way, I saw the sea, and I saw the borage, they are so blue and beautiful, I can see Miss Nelly and your favorite world, and this time it is not bad to be reborn......"

What, you obviously hate me, this rebirth that was dragged out and tortured again...... Suddenly I felt that my vision was blurry, and it turned out that as a demon, would I cry too......

"Well, this time it's really goodbye. Then thank you Morphy, I wanted you to kiss her, but she's afraid of you, so bury her properly......" Amethyst had become colorless due to consumption, and Morfi, who had reverted to her goblin form, smiled and didn't move again.

"I know it's almost impossible to do what I have to do, but I'm going to do it, and I'm not going to say goodbye this time, Sheng ...... "I know I'm going crazy," and I'm going to challenge my father next...... Bless me. ”

- White World Middle Earth, on the outskirts of the town of Empes in the former Seperos Empire

"Petra Sero restored the identity of Petra Palenset, the prince of the Demon Realm, and was officially named the King of Hades, with a fief of Beizhou and the Thousand Ice Ocean, and the palace is located on the Thousand Ice Ocean Demon Island. Leaning on the tall city wall that had been built only a month earlier, Yama Tong, who had been appointed as the "Emperor of the City", reported to Harujin Jumang, who had come to inspect him, "and it seems to commemorate that he sealed off his lover's hometown of Tregenis, which is now a 'living graveyard' that outsiders cannot enter." After the loss of Tregenis, the Empire of Séperos offered this land in exchange for us to protect their territory, and the city would be built by us to carry out your 'Passage House' project at full capacity. ”

"It's already started, you are the supreme leader of the Academy, the 'Nine Emperors'," Ju Mang looked at the huge body of Shantong, "You are really powerful...... and the weapons will be handed over to you for safekeeping. ”

"Ah, the Beast King Ding and the Evil Lord's Blue and White Meditation have been sealed, and Yu Xuan's thin red has been handed over to Lao He to be responsible...... However, he was hit harder than he imagined, and he had already given Bo Hong to Li Daoheng's daughter Li Zhengyin. Shan Tong looked at the sky and said lightly.

"What about Li Zhengyin?"

Zhengyin said that he wanted to start a new life, and maybe he would explore and travel in this world, so Yan Fang said that traveling around was also Yu Xuan's wish before his death, so he asked Zhengyin to take Bo Hong with him. Xin Li next to him responded.

Ju Mang was even more puzzled: "I rejected our official title, I thought that his revenge had been avenged and he would live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes from now on...... So where did he go?"

"Originally, it was indeed meant to be like that, but it must be destiny not to let him go, and suddenly someone sent him a letter, saying that he knew his deeds and wanted to invite him to do a great career together......" Shan Tong smiled, "It's an interesting person, named Oreo Milton, a young man from the blue world...... Now, wait a minute, I've got a portrait of a weird and arrogant guy after the letter......"

Ju Mang looked at the portrait he had brought him, which showed a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, as handsome as a god, and his posture and clothes were full of imperial atmosphere.

"It seems like a terrible person, but ...... Looks arrogant?", commented Ju Mang.

"Right?" Lao He said the same. He had learned that this young man was the world king who ruled the largest empire in the Blue World, the Eternal Emperor Milton VI. Shan Tong looked at the decisive eyes of the man in the painting that showed iridescent colors in the blue, "This is an oil painting, the painting technique is not very skilled, but the details are very careful." I heard that the eyes of the blue people are like this......"

"So Staff Officer He...... No, He Qing agreed to this emperor?" asked Ju Mang.

"I didn't seem interested when I read the letter, probably because it was written arrogantly...... Later, after the portrait was sent, I thought about it for a long time, although I complained that 'I was not interested in what he looked like', but in the end I agreed, and went to the blue world a few days ago. ”

Later, it became known that He Yanfang had indeed gone to the Blue World and met the ambitious emperor in Arcane City, the capital of the Holy Milton Empire. The two of them established the magician alliance "Heavenly Punisher", He Yanfang was sent back to the White World Development Branch, he gained popularity for expelling the Demon Beast army in the development movement of the White World East Continent, and established the Heavenly Punisher White World Branch in what is now known as Future City, and it is said that the simple and straightforward name of Future City was also taken by him.

"Is this your symbol 'Double Star Ivy'?" asked Ju Mang, who was invited to visit Future City.

"Well, it represents eternal youth and loyalty, demon breaking and conservation. He Yanfang nodded.

"Then why is it called the Heavenly Punisher?"

He Yanfang smiled: "We are determined to always take the elimination of demons as our business, no matter power, bad luck, **** or disaster, we will not change our will." The generation of the idea of eliminating demons, the life choice of fighting against demons all his life, the biggest motivation is his own misfortune, ......right? It's like being punished by God. ”

That's why it's the Heavenly Punisher. Magicians with a firm sense of eliminating demons have gathered in this group, standing at the forefront of the front of all walks of life. "Star Track Guide" Oreo Milton, "Evil Rider" He Yanfang, "Thunder Lamenter" Evelyn McDonald's, "Time Watcher" Madeleine Mino, "Sunset Fire" Philhisna Mira, under the leadership of the five core figures, finally crossed the Five Realms Heavenly Punisher Alliance and successfully set off a huge wave of demon subjugation.

It's just that Petra, who has been self-exiled, did not participate in this major change that changed the power structure of the Five Realms. He had heard about the development of the Heavenly Punisher from time to time, but he never thought that the Heavenly Punisher would succeed-

Even if he said it so resolutely, he didn't think that he could trample his father's Destruction Star Monarch under his feet. In the final analysis, he hugged the deceased tightly not to change anything, but just pure despair and abandonment.

He just deceived himself by sealing off the castle of body and mind in the name of guarding the dead.

"It's time to go back, Petra. A gentle voice came from behind him, and he turned around and saw Honghime's beautiful smile.

Everything was as beautiful as ever under the golden red sunset, just like the farewell moment before he rushed to the original world.

Facing the bright red sea, he gently stroked the lifeless kitten in his arms: "I see." ”

"Go back, don't you hate the sea?" the gentle voice melted into the endless tide, and Red Hime stood beside him.

"But they like it. He smiled bitterly.

"Why don't you give up, obviously you have different likes and dislikes, isn't it destined to have an intersection?" Hongji looked at him, "Not as a general of the sky, but with my own will...... Wouldn't it be happier to bury them and live according to their own ideals?"

"You're a pure demon, you probably won't understand, right? I love them...... And you shouldn't say that, your existence was meant to create a false illusion for me," he hesitated for a moment as he gazed at Honghime in the sunset, hugging her, "Nelly, master, Sheng...... Please let me sleep in my dreams with you and never wake ......up."

Honghime hugged him gently, "If you want to protect it even if you know it's a false treasure, just like you want...... I love you, Petra......"

Only the endless sound of the waves remained between heaven and earth. It is a call from the far sea of the dead, with the magnificent sunset that will not be finished, inviting people to enter the dream of not waking up for a thousand years-

Dream of Wild Bones.

——·——

Come to the seaside at dusk

We can't ...... anymore

－

The golden light sprinkled over the sea, and the summer breeze was absent

There was only the constant sound of waves between the timid two

－

We have long forgotten why we have come through these days

All that remains is the tenderness of farewell

－

No matter how you follow the cry of every wave that day

I can't go back to the shore where you're waiting

－

Only dusk remained in his arms

The waves of that day had been hidden deep under the sea

I fell into a deep sleep with a pale dream that I didn't know how to mourn

－

Strange street lamps swaying on dark waters

Up close, it looks like a dreamy flower

－

At that time, it only takes one more wave to cross

You will be able to come to the shore where you are waiting

－

Come to the seaside at dusk

We can't say goodbye

Close your eyes and let the loneliness dissipate with the night

－

Only dusk remained in his arms

The waves of that day had been hidden deep under the sea

I fell into a deep sleep with a pale dream that I didn't know how to mourn

－

Come to the seaside at dusk

We can't say goodbye

Close your eyes and let the loneliness dissipate with the night
