Chapter 49: The Shadow of Death

"I never gave up, and even now, I still have the confidence to face the fire of destruction. ”

"And you're shouting, Athena?"

That Magellan smiled mockingly and put his face in front of Magellan: "I am your soul." ”

"Athena's power is the guarantee of the success of my plan," Magellan was like an insect in amber, unable to move his body, but he did not feel uncomfortable, "Every time a god died in front of me before, I could feel a strange flow of divine power, maybe it was a fragment of science gathering power, or maybe Athena." ”

The other Magellan stretched out his arms, leaned against the solidified pillar of destruction fire, and snorted coldly: "Then science left, you saw Athena in the depths of your soul, so you knew that those powers were obtained by the goddess, and then you thought about borrowing Athena's power." Don't change the subject, you guessed it, but isn't that a pathetic begging? I am your soul and you can't deceive me. ”

"The basis of courage is in the act of bravery, and the reward after that is not entirely dependent on the gods, and the power of Athena is only a small help necessary, and if I do this, I will only be rewarded with the foolish curse of the Brahmin?"

"Then why are you shouting Athena?"

Magellan, who was standing in the void, sneered and let out a long sigh: "Look, this is the trance of mortals before they die, my dear Monsieur Magellan, you have failed, Athena has not given you strength, you are dead." ”

"I know everything you know, I know everything you don't know, I am your soul!"

"But you watched me when I was about to die, while mocking me?"

Magellan wanted to laugh, but his face couldn't move.

"Because I'm going to die!"

That Magellan angrily walked back and forth in the frozen world, waving his arms and spewing out a barrage of expletives.

"You! stupid and stubborn, giving up your true dignity but struggling for ridiculous pride, I have never done anything wrong, but I can only watch you play foolishly, finally!"

"I'm going to die with you!"

"I!is!you!of!soul!soul!"

"I was born into a wonderful world, where all men are born equal and different, mortals control the world, believe in the truth, science is at the service of mankind, and all can pursue happiness!

"I'm going to die for nothing!"

"You, with all your stupidity and stubbornness, completed this shameful murder, and by committing suicide to lead me into the abyss, you could have done more, Magellan, you have an incomparably brilliant soul, believe in science and equality, but look, look at what you have turned me into!"

Magellan was always silent, he could speak, but in the face of his own accusations, he did not say a word.

"People, limited ability, unpredictable circumstances, what they do in their lives, may achieve nothing, but that is not a reason to waste time and be willing to degenerate!"

"The shadow of death will eventually come, and in the last light of a person's life, he will face the last torture of the soul, what have you done in your life!"

"You, Magellan, have you done anything in your life?"

That Magellan finally stopped growling, and his last words were just a soft sigh, as if he never thought of an answer.

"Behold, the shadow of death, and the sun shall be covered, adorned with stars, and the Milky Way as a girdle, and mortals shall be sheltered by it, and shall ......sleep in peace for ever."

The frozen world began to loosen.

Time is on.

Magellan roared wildly, he opened his mouth wide and yelled at himself.

"Survive!"

"I haven't done anything really important, don't die!"

Darkness is falling, and it is the shadow of death, and it is so warm.

"It didn't come without a price, the gods were superhuman, but they possessed extraordinary powers, not extraordinary souls. ”

Athena came out of the depths of darkness, the light had faded, and Magellan could only see a blurry half of his face.

"I must live, Athena, I have done my bravery, give me a reward......" Magellan struggled to keep himself from sleeping, "The fire of destruction has not killed me, now it is my soul that has collapsed, it is a wound left by science, you know how to fill ......"

"The price. ”

Athena slowly approached Magellan, but he couldn't see it at all.

"If I die, you can't continue to exist, Athena, tell me, what are you staying in the depths of my soul for?"

"Hope, a luxury that only mortals can have," Athena put her hand on Magellan's face, and now, he could see nothing, "a god can't stand such a lingering breath, but I'm just a lonely ghost." ”

"I'm willing to pay any price!" Magellan finally gave up, "I must live!"

"But I don't have that power, you know, the reward for bravery is comparable to the deed, but deep down in your soul, you never feel that there is anything remarkable about what you have done up to now, it is your soul that is refusing the reward, and I cannot change it. ”

Magellan fell into despair, as if he had once again seen his own soul, a face that would never show happiness.

"I don't know how to convince my soul. ”

"That's a mortal's curse...... Athena sighed long, "I have pinned all my hopes on you, Magellan, you are so amazing, even the gods cannot do what you do." ”

The voice of the goddess disappeared completely, and Magellan fell into a dead silence.

......

The countess watched Magellan's arm burned to ashes by the fire of destruction, time seemed to slow down countless times, and the scene appeared before her eyes with great clarity.

She stretched out her right hand and unleashed the most powerful magic she possessed, a terrifying force gushing out from Magellan's shoulder to his arm, only to be crushed when it touched the fire of destruction.

The power that created the essence was no weaker than the divine power, but it was only good at destroying, not guarding.

Then time was reversed.

It was the countess's delusion, what was happening in front of her eyes was so bizarre that Magellan's right hand, which was only white bones, regrew flesh and blood in an instant, as if he had stepped back in time.

Magellan blocked the pillar of light of the Flame of Destruction with his right hand in a broken sleeve, and then rushed into the titan's chest in a gravity-defying stance.

Then the mortal blocked the Eye of Destruction with his right hand.
