Chapter 26: The Unforgivable (Part II)
It is unforgivable that Ulysses in this world has such feelings for only one person.
He could forgive the shot that pierced his body, forgive her indifference in ignoring his own heart.
However, he will not forgive what she did to Yulia, absolutely unforgivable. Seeing Yuria's body being used as a fighting tool by her so ruthlessly, he was more heartbroken and sad than anyone else.
It was his sister, the girl he had sworn to take care of with his life, the biggest reason why he wanted to become a priest.
From a very young age, he realized that he had to support her and protect her, even when he later learned the truth from Yufie's mother, he never wavered.
So when he accompanied the shattered Yulia on the beach at that beach, it was the happiest time of his life.
He knew that the Yuria who came out of the blood-colored mist was not the real Yuria, but just an illusion created by the fragments of Yulia remaining in this world gathered by some kind of cursed power.
The purpose of that Yulia's appearance was actually to curse him, hurt him, and take him to another world.
However, even that Yulia liked him, and he was not afraid of the cursed power in her body, and he didn't care what kind of posture she came back to him.
He just wanted to take her hand again and tell her what he hadn't had time to say to her, and fulfill her little wish to go to the beach.
It was just such a trivial little wish, but he watched her disappear in front of him, shot in front of him by the sword of the Sword Brave Lala.
In fact, before that, that Yuria was already unsalvageable, and even if Lara did nothing, she might not be able to truly become his apostle. At that time, he didn't have the Immortal Mythical Gem, and he couldn't really bring Yulia back.
However, that doesn't take away from the cold and heartless fact that Lara had killed Yulia again. Even the Yulia who was rejected by the laws of the world, even the Yulia who could only come back in a cursed form, the Yulia who was destined to disappear, was the most important sister to Ulysses.
She was so weak, so hard, that even though she knew that she was about to disappear, she would smile at him, wipe away his tears with her little hands, and sing a song full of hope:
The kind of thing that will not be simply taken away is not allowed to open your eyes, look at the world strongly, until the last moment, don't give up your hope, whether it's love or fate, don't simply give up.
Live strongly, hold your chest up, don't lie to your feelings, say it when you're afraid, don't cry casually, don't stop casually, keep moving forward, when you look back, you have embarked on a journey that belongs only to you.
What was Yuria thinking at that time? Ulysses didn't understand it now, but what he saw in his eyes was Yuria, who was stronger than anyone else, but weaker than anyone else, his sister.
Even at the end of the day, there was no darkness, no sadness in her eyes. She always smiled like that, worked hard like a child, and was full of infinite hope like a newborn sprout.
Before touching death, she sang to her a song full of love and longing, a love song that had been recited from a long time ago to the present, just like her shy heart.
I want to see you, but I can't.
Tonight, compared to the flowers swaying in the rain, my heart can not be calm, it is because I can't see each other that this longing will be stronger, even if I want to give all for this love, this is my final decision, I want to see you, but I can't see you, because I can't go anywhere, but I still want to see you. I can't put into words how I feel right now, maybe that's what people call Destiny Love.
Just close your eyes as if you were right next to me and say my name.
I want to see you, but I can't. I can't contain the passion that keeps surging in my heart, so I won't hesitate any longer, and this is my final decision.
No matter what the price, even if there is no way to return to the way it was, I have decided to come to see you.
It's incredible, the feelings surging in my chest, the thoughts of the past crumbling one after another, the heartbeat of that day is unforgettable, the invisible power is here, I am here.
Do you hear me, I, right here.
It was Yuria's last song, the song to confess her heart to him, but it was a long, long time before he understood why Yulia sang it to him at that time.
It was her blessing to him, a song wishing him happiness in the future. She never thought about her own affairs, but simply hoped that her brother could live happily.
In her heart, she must never have thought that her brother would become a strong man who surpasses everything, so strong that even the laws of the world can be defeated.
The brother in her memory is still the clumsy, needs someone to take care of him, and doesn't know the mood of girls. So in the end, she sang an old love song to him, hoping that he could understand, and that he could find his own happiness.
That was the only thing she could do for him as she vanished. No matter how cruel things have been, no matter what sad posture she has reappeared, she is still simple and lovely, still holding that little wooden sword, and Ulysses longs for the heroic girl.
Her life is short, but she still fights hard, with her weak body, and her own destiny. Until her chest was pierced by the sword that belonged to hers, and she disappeared from this world forever.
After that, there was no more Yuria in this world, only the sword warrior named Lara.
The two are similar in some ways, but they are decisively different, so the first time Ulysses sees Yuria, who has turned into silver hair, he knows that she is definitely not his sister, but Lara, the Brave of the Sword.
Yulia, but she is a very weak child who needs to be taken care of. Even in battle, she must not be as cold and ruthless as Lala, but bravely wield her little sword and fight for the dream in her heart.
Lara's sword, on the other hand, had long since lost its meaning in the eyes of Ulysses. Lala, who appeared in front of him now, was more like a puppet who had lost her feelings, and couldn't listen to anyone's voice at all.
Her world was literally nothing but a myriad of weapons in the blood-colored wilderness, just like her sad life.
Perhaps as a hero, she is not qualified to be blamed by anyone. She had the power to save countless people, but before that, she had lost the most important thing in humanity—the heart.
In order to defeat the enemy, she gave up so much that she could never find her precious heart again. She no longer fights to protect something important, but puts all her life on the scales, weighs the weight with the most cold and ruthless laws, and then makes a choice.
In the midst of this, Yuria's body was probably forgotten by her, and she no longer remembered that it once belonged to a girl who longed for happiness, and used her as a tool for pure combat.
But Ulysses will not forget that the body belongs to his unique sister, Yulia, the most beautiful in the world. The girl who was always behind him, a little shy, a little uneasy, the important person he had decided to spend his life protecting.
That night, by the sea, she came to him in such a mutilated manner, and once again died at Lala's hands, shot by the attack of her own body.
At that time, he was so powerless, so useless, and he couldn't even protect his only sister like back then.
Therefore, he changed, gave up the path of the priest that he had longed for and was infinitely close, stepped into the infinite darkness, and chose the power that belonged to the demon king.
There is no ** who dominates all things, and there is no ambition to destroy the world, and the boy named Ulysses chooses the path of the demon king for only one reason - that is, he wants to change.
Once a mutilated sister returned to him, and went with him to walk along the seashore and sing the old ballad for him. He missed her, and could only watch her fall in front of him again stained with blood, leaving only the string of shell jewelry he had made for her to fall alone on the beach.
At that time, he swore that he would never let such a thing happen to him. No matter what the price, he must obtain the power to protect his important people, and bring back Yuria, who has suffered too much misfortune.
For this, what he has gained is the power that boils in his body at this moment, the power that does not belong to this world.
He has become stronger, and he can finally stop regretting and despairing.
Such power is to be used at such times.
The black Destruction Fist Lock appeared on his left hand in response to Ulysses' call, and the disc on the back of the fist lock showed a boiling gold, just like Ulysses's mood at this moment.
"Helen! boundaries are open!" At Ulysses' command, the Dream Silver Crystal began to change its posture, this time not as a shield, but as a stronger, more destructive one.
It was a massive weapon based on the destruction of the fist lock and the skeleton of Ulysses' left arm.
The streamlined structure of multiple stacks makes the weapon look like an expanded magic gun, but the spear's predecessor is rounded and inlaid with countless threads inside. The four crystals of the Four Heavenly Spirits are embedded around the body of the gun, and behind the body of the gun, there is a roulette wheel, which is the recreation of the wheel of fate that Ulysses saw in the game world.
"Labis!"
The golden furnace of the sun appeared with the wizard spirit, and then turned into a sigil and was inscribed on the blank roulette wheel, revealing the form of a fragment of the sun.
