Thank you to the alliance leader of Qiqiu

In the dust gathered by despair, Huai Shi opened her eyes.

As if he hadn't heard the shouts of Yuan Yuan and Lin Nineteen beside him, he propped up his body and looked up at the tower in front of him.

The last masterpiece of the forgers, and the cage of suffering that imprisoned them for thousands of years.

This is the permafrost hearth.

A desperate creature of countless sufferings, the essence of calamity in hell.

As soon as it awakens, there will be endless wails.

As long as it works, the whole hell will be driven by it.

Eternal twilight.

In contrast, the curse of day and night here is nothing more than the radiation leaking from the hearth......

In order to resist hell, he chose a desperate struggle. Under the guidance and temptation of the Purgatory Workshop Master, the forgers stepped step by step into a desperate situation called Eternity.

Despair, madness.

Perhaps, the moment they reject a peaceful death and choose to make a deal with the devil, they are destined to fall into a situation even more tragic than death.

But is it all self-inflicted?

Huai Shi was silent and did not speak.

Obviously, now is the time when every second counts, even if the tower is close in front of him, even if the situation is good, but he sits on the ground, raising his head without saying a word, staring at the sky.

In the silence, everyone was silently waiting for his orders.

But the order was delayed.

"Your Excellency Huai Shi......"

After being silent for a long time, the Venerable Elder finally spoke: "Don't miss the opportunity. ”

"I know. ”

Huai Shi said: "I'm just thinking. ”

Then he didn't speak anymore, and no one disturbed Huai Shi's thinking.

In this way, in the distant thunder and loud noise, Huai Shi quietly stared at the blood rain, foehn wind, and gray tide on the sky, this world full of calamity and despair.

Finally a voice.

"Grand Master, can you hear me?"

"I'm here. ”

A metallic voice sounded in the air, as calm as ever, no, indifferent in the course of its life. He said, "You have a question for me, don't you?"

“......”

Huai Shi didn't speak, just waited in silence.

"I know what you're trying to ask, Huaishi. ”

"You want to ask: Did I know it from the beginning? Did I know it from the beginning? Did I have any special arrangements? Did I have a way to do it—like the blue-skinned robot in the comics, it can do anything, and it can always find a tool to solve the problem, and ...... Can I save them, right?"

Huai Shi lowered her eyes and sighed silently.

"Even if you already know in your heart, all this was irretrievable thousands of years ago. When they are obsessed with seeking salvation from hell, everything is already doomed.

It's like the genealogy of the heavens, thinking that they can take off, but in fact they just fall into deeper darkness.

Even if Condra's example is all in front of you......"

After a brief pause, the Grand Master asked again, "Despite this, do you still expect anything from me?"

"That's right. ”

Huai Shi slowly bowed her head, and finally made a sound.

"You should have known the answer a long time ago, right?"

“...... Yes. He said.

"So, tell me, do you need my answer?"

The Grand Master said coldly, "I can give you an order, you don't need to think about anything, you don't need to hesitate, you just need to do it, all the responsibility does not lie with you."

But Huai Shi, do you really need someone else's instructions to give you orders and help you make decisions?"

In silence, Huai Shi lowered her head and stared at the long sword on her knee.

Above the quiet blade of the sword, his pupils were reflected, incomparably calm, without any fluctuations.

He suddenly asked, "Will you oppose me, Grand Master?"

"What if I will?"

The Grand Master's tone still didn't fluctuate at all.

Huai Shi didn't answer, just pressed the grip of the blade, but the answer that there was no room for relaxation was already given from the pupils reflected on the spine of the sword.

That kind of look......

In the silence, the Grand Master on the Iron Crystal Throne suddenly laughed softly.

Full of mockery and sarcasm

At this moment, he finally really felt: this is the heir Russell has chosen.

The old bastard didn't lie to himself—what he saw now was more anger, compassion, and determination than he had been in his youth, and more importantly...... Cruel!

"No one will appreciate you, Huaishi, and no one will express blessings and gratitude. He said, "No matter how much you do, you will not be able to bring salvation to this land, at best, it is only a belated end." ”

"I know. ”

"What you bring is not salvation. ”

Huai Shi bowed, "I know it too." ”

"Good. ”

The Grand Master finally raised his eyes and told him, "You are the supreme person in charge of the Iron Crystal Throne, Huai Shi, even if it is only at this moment.

Now, now that you have made up your mind, the time has come for you, and no one should stand in your way. ”

"As long as you live in the world, mistakes are always inevitable, you have to try, I won't stop you. ”

Such a playful reference to the dialogue between the gods and the devil in "Faust", allowing Huai Shi to go his own way.

"I see. ”

Huai Shi slowly got up, propped up the blade of the sword, and finally said, "Thank you, Mr. Mikhail. ”

The Grand Master did not speak again.

He had already departed from the earth.

On the bridge of the Iron Crystal Seat, the metal giant in his arms withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the projection behind him.

"See, Russell. He said impatiently, "The proxy you have chosen has already received my vote, so announce the results of the vote." ”

"Four to one, one abstention, the resolution passed. ”

In the projection of the conference room, Russell announced the result: "Whether it's him or you, let it go, Mikhail." All the consequences will be borne by me. ”

"Overlapping events, confluence of cause and effect, time, place, people and events...... Now that all the prerequisites are in place, let's get the final kick off. ”

Accompanied by Russell's words, all the members in the conference room raised their eyes and guided the coming of the 'kingdom of heaven'.

Under the control of the Grand Master, the huge secret ritual left by the once ideal country was awakened.

The matrix shrouds and the framework rises out of thin air.

All the engines of the entire Iron Crystal Seat instantly entered an overload state, and a huge miracle suddenly descended on the hull, making the huge Iron Crystal Seat unbearable, and there was a low roar from this overclocking operation.

The countless records of restlessness in hell were captured by this huge gravitational pull, gathering inward, and the fertile irrigation of massive essentia came into existence from nothing, slowly forming the phantom of a heavy book.

There is no title on the cover, only countless illusory characters flash, drifting, and beginning to search for the main axis that runs through the core from these billions of fragments......

The alchemy of hell once unique to the genealogy of the heavenly kingdom has reappeared.

Gather the images and gather the soul.

The essence of hell is about to be reborn here.

.

.

Under the tower, Huai Shi got up.

I don't know if it's because he has finally made up his mind, or if he is no longer shaken, those entangled hell precipitation can no longer affect him.

The wails are still piercing.

But Huai Shi's heart was unexpectedly calm, without any fluctuations.

He looked up at the Venerable Elder who had been waiting beside him for a long time, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes. The elder said, "Your student has just caught August. ”

Huai Shi was slightly stunned.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Yuan Yuan and Lin Nineteen, but Auguste's own strength is already the top among the three orders, and he has been cultivated by the Ivory Tower since he was a child, and his accumulation is amazing, and his experience is even richer.

There is no one who can live in hell for so long. Even if his two students join forces, they may not be able to help him.

To be exact, he stood there himself, as if he was stupid, and did not move at all. ”

The elder said, "I didn't say anything to him, as if he had given up resisting...... We didn't know what to do with it for a while. ”

"What about people?"

Huai Shi said: "Bring it over and let me see." ”

Soon, August, who was wearing the shackles, was escorted by his former colleagues and sent to Huai Shi.

His expression was still calm, but it was better to say that he had already become numb.

Disheartened.

Like Huai Shi, after understanding the essence of the permafrost hearth, he will naturally be able to understand what the so-called immortal machine is.

What's more, before this, he knew far more than Huai Shi, and the impact he felt became more and more huge.

The last glimmer of hope is completely dashed.

Perhaps by using it, it is possible to redeem Condra.

But what's the point of that?

Did he turn his adoptive father into a monster of eternal pain?

Everything that had happened in the former Twilight Country was repeated on him, and after gambling everything for a glimmer of hope, when the truth was revealed, it was shattered.

Having lost hope of saving Kondla, Auguste has no motivation to continue acting and rebelling.

Just seeing such empty pupils, Huai Shi knew what kind of abyss of pain he was wandering in now.

Not eager to stay alive, but eager for a crisp and neat draw and referee.

End it all.

In silence, Huai Shi pulled out the sword of virtue, slashed it down, and stopped abruptly.

The blade of the sword paused on August's neck, and a few centimeters down, it was able to delicately cut through the gap between the cervical vertebrae, delicately splitting the bones and textures, bringing him a painful break and death.

But death did not come.

The blade of the sword in Huai Shi slowly lifted.

"Live, August. He said, "You always have to pay for everything you do." ”

August looked up at him and couldn't help but sneer.

"Where does this come from?

He mockingly asked, "Is there any point in sparing my life?" or do you think that death is too gentle for my actions, and that you want me to be tortured in prison and live in hell?"

"Pointless. He said, "I'm already there......

"I know. ”

Huai Shi looked at him and suddenly asked, "Do you know how I got out of those records? You should have seen it the moment you activated it, right? Those fantasies...... I've gone deeper than you do, and those records that have haunted me are more than you think, and it's not far from assimilation. ”

In the silence, August heard Huaishi's answer.

"It was Condra who saved me. ”

He froze in place, his eyes widening in astonishment.

"He's always been conscious, August, he knows what you've done, and he knows what you're doing it. But at the moment when the permafrost furnace was activated, he sacrificed his hope of finally returning to the world and saved me. ”

"Unfortunately, Auguste, even if you can use the Immortal Machine now, you won't be able to get him back, he's dead. ”

In Auguste's sluggishness, Huai Shi lowered his head and told him seriously: "I didn't understand until then that the reason why he couldn't linger was not because he wanted to live, but because he couldn't let you go." ”

At the moment when Condra was born, Huai Shi clearly saw the last silent opening and closing of his lips.

Those were his last words.

- I'm sorry.

Is this an apology to Huaishi, or a last word for Auguste?

Maybe it's a bit of both.

There is no way to stop the adopted son from falling in despair, nor to save this hell from the pain and suffering that it is abundant. The man left his final apologies and smiled at his end.

But there is one thing that Huai Shi can conclude that until his death, Condra never regretted his actions.

I don't regret that I was devoured by hell at that time instead of August.

I don't regret sacrificing my last hope to save Huaishi.

"He'd rather let himself be reduced to that level forever than let you make such a mistake. ”

Huai Shi's blade slashed down again, shattering the shackles on Auguste's body, "This is the second time he has saved you, don't live up to his kindness." ”

At that moment, the Venerable Elder subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the scimitar, beware of August's trapped beast. But the man remained in place.

just looked at Huai Shi in a daze.

For a long time, for a long time, his expression twitched, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, like a torn soul being put back together.

Obviously, I have regained my freedom, but the pain is like losing everything.

Silent weeping.

"If you want a trial, go to the Grand Master and the Chief of Affairs yourself, they will adjudicate what you have done, but I won't, I have more important things to do. ”

Huai Shi waved his hand to disperse the blade and stretched out his hand: "Give me the Nibelungen, you can go." ”

August didn't say anything more.

Raising his palm, the dim Nibelungen ring on his index finger slowly dissipated, and in an instant, it appeared on Huai Shi's ten fingers.

In an instant, the sleeping Frost Giant Legion was brought under the stigma of the young master's life.

The dull ring glows with a fiery glow.

With the advance of Huai Shi, in front of the undead army array, a cold winter wind swept suddenly.

The sleeping frost giants emerged from the icy wind and knelt respectfully on the ground, waiting for orders from the higher.

In front of Huai Shi, the shell of the huge tower peeled off layer by layer, falling to the earth with a roar, revealing the intricate machinery and countless changing structures in it.

Just between heaven and earth, the central tower is completely unfolded and completed!

Dozens of bridges connect the modules and buildings that fly into each other, forming a miracle that will last forever.

Endless flames of light rose from the top of the heart of the permafrost, dissipating the rain of blood and foehn winds that enveloped the entire hell, tearing apart the eternal twilight.

Plants and trees multiply, everything grows, and the wind blows a sweet smell.

In the midst of the never-ending wails of despair, the most beautiful paradise has come here.

Built on hell is the kingdom of heaven.

"Let's go, guys. ”

Huai Shi looked back, looked at the legions behind him, and told them: "The time for the end is coming." Since we're already late, don't keep people waiting too long......"

Whether it's this war or the painful past......

This will come to an end.

It was at that moment that in the frame of the Iron Crystal Seat, on the cover of the empty book, a dark ink finally appeared, criss-crossed, and an invisible pen wrote the title, laying the foundation for the miracle.

- Les Misérables!
