Chapter 298: A Girl Who Believes in Demons
"I'm sorry, I was a step late. Ulysses looked guiltily at Bridit sobbing, if he had been more vigilant at that time, he might have arrived earlier to save the bear.
Unfortunately, he was one step too late, and Silver's healing hand meant nothing to the bear's broken body, whose soul had already dissipated. As Bridit said, the bear died a long time ago, and when the last puppet to house the soul fragment is gone, it is almost impossible to resurrect it.
"Hmm!" Bridit shook her head, it wasn't Ulysses' fault, of course, it was hers.
She was too weak, too contemptuous of her enemies, and she couldn't even react accurately to the devastating blow of the Dragon Slayer Knife, so the bear would go out of her way to protect her.
If Ulysses hadn't arrived immediately afterward, she would have been cut in two. Whether it's Cub or Ulysses, they're her benefactors.
"Bear told me a long time ago that he would disappear one day, and not only him, but all the dark gods ended up like this. There is no point in trying to find the body of the Son of God. ”
"The boundary between life and death is not something that can be so easily desecrated. Unless you are a true God, you are qualified to set foot in this realm. ”
Ulysses' hand trembled slightly, and Bridit's words touched his heart.
That's right, the boundaries between life and death should not be broken, and the dead should not come back. The dead and the living are already in two worlds. Two worlds that should never have an intersection point anymore are like parallel lines on a blank piece of paper, no matter how long they stretch without intersection.
But even then, there will always be people who try to break this rule, and he is one of them.
Only a god can set foot in the realm, then a demon king who is equal to or even stronger than a god should be able to do it, which is the biggest reason why he resolutely made his choice.
This must be incorrect, it must be wrong, it must be a terrorist act that violates the common sense of the world. But watching Yulia disappear in front of him again and again, he couldn't bear it anymore.
So, he accepted the darkness. The power that can shatter all order and complete all the impossible is called the power of the Demon King.
Aya was right, he may have been born with the talent to become a demon king, because he always wanted to change something.
The original reason for wanting to become a priest was because he wanted to change the fate of the people around him, he wanted to cure Yulia's illness, and he wanted to restore Yufie's mother to health, but the reason for becoming a demon king was to resurrect his sister, who was really willful enough.
Seeing Bridit in front of him, he was like seeing another self, unable to do anything but watch the tragedy happen.
So Ulysses, who couldn't help himself, opened his mouth, with a demonic murmur, tempting the innocent and ignorant girl.
"Briditt, if there is a chance to redeem it, to change all this, would you choose?"
"Ulysses, what are you talking about, what are you trying to recover?" Bridit looked at Ulysses with some confusion, her big eyes blinking, obviously not understanding the true meaning of his words.
"I mean, if you lose something important, would you want to go out of your way to get it back?" Ulysses put it in a simpler way.
"If, if it's really, really important, that's what it should be. Bridit nodded, the grief of losing the bear still echoed in her little heart, so now she could understand the sadness of losing something important.
"If it's a dead person, it's like a bear. "Ulysses wanted to know one thing, one thing that made him understand his heart better.
"That's impossible, Ulysses. Bridit shook her head in frustration.
The wheel of fortune will not be reversed, the dead are dead, it is impossible for the bear to come back, and no one can do it. The boundaries between life and death are by no means the realm that ordinary people can set foot in.
To challenge this line, you must at least reach the legendary realm of this world, that is, the world behind the door to have a glimmer of hope.
Ulysses' words made her happy, but the impossible was impossible, and if he did do something whimsical for her, it would be too much to lose, and she didn't want to see Ulysses take such a risk for her.
"I just want to hear Briditt's true thoughts, don't you really want to redeem it?" Ulysses stared at Bridit's still tearful cheeks, waiting for an answer.
"If, if ......" Bridit visibly faltered.
With some flustered eyes, rapid breathing, and nervous heartbeat, Ulysses could easily feel Briditt's hesitation at this moment.
If it's really important, if you really feel that you should make amends, then the answer must have come out a long time ago.
Unconscious taboos, that are feelings that are bound by "common sense". Briditt, you don't need to be so babbling. It's not a big deal, just ask yourself in your heart, whether you "want" or "don't want to".
Say it, your heart's true desire.
"If you can save ......"
That's right, that's it, this answer.
"It doesn't matter if you try to redeem it......"
The real thoughts in your heart, the real desires.
"I think I want to redeem it, I want the bear to come back to me. Bridit wiped away her tears and prayed sincerely, just as she had prayed to God countless times.
It's a pity that this time the object in front of her is not a god, but a real demon king.
However, in this world, perhaps only the demon king in front of her can fulfill her wish.
"Yes, if it's really that important, both people and things will definitely want to redeem it. Ulysses wiped Bridit away from her tears, embarrassed that she had tried such a strange way to induce her to tell her what she wanted.
But, in this way, it became clear what Bridit really thought, that uncontrollable impulse.
What is absolutely impossible to do, what should never be done, and those who are qualified to do it all, are the demon kings—no, it is precisely because they are demon kings that they can do this kind of thing, and do it regardless of everything.
"Well, I accepted it, this wish. Ulysses smiled, like a demon about to buy the soul of an innocent girl.
That's right, Briditt's wish he accepted, as a demon king, as a reward for tempting her to say her innermost thoughts.
It was true that the bear was killed in battle, but at that time Ulysses noticed something, something unusual related to the dark gods.
When he arrived, the bear cub had already been killed in battle, and was cut in two by the dragon slayer, but what happened after that was a little strange, Bridit who flew out of the bear's wreckage may not know what it was, but Ulysses, who had recovered some of his past memories, instinctively felt something abnormal.
Those points of light didn't really disappear, but they were attracted in a certain direction by some force. After that, Ulysses didn't have more time to think about it because of the decisive battle with the Aurora Sword, but now that he thinks about it, it's very wrong.
Perhaps, the truth of the dark god is more complicated than he imagined, which is probably related to the secret of the Great Reincarnation of the next generation. The point of light that represented the color of the soul should have naturally dissipated into heaven and earth, but this is not the case here.
In the final analysis, the great rebirth of the next generation is not normal, and people should not be resurrected after death, but this phenomenon in the southern land obviously violates common sense, so that the strong people on this land collectively obtain a certain kind of "immortality".
Ulysses, however, is okay with that kind of thing now. Because what he is going to do is even more outrageous and crazy than this generational reincarnation.
Completely breaking the boundary between life and death, and bringing back from the world of death people who have no reason or chance to be resurrected, compared to the Great Rebirth of the Next Generation, it is like playing a family.
It's really messy enough, Ulysses himself thinks so.
Therefore, he is already a demon king, a demon king who is ready to trample on the principle of life and death and destroy the order of this world.
"How can this be, don't mess around, Ulysses. Bridit quickly shook her hand.
Although she was saddened by the death of the bear, it was impossible for the dead to come back, so she would never expect the impossible.
"Denying your own needs will only make you farther and farther away from your true heart, so trust me this time. Briditt, I'll get the bear back for you. Ulysses took Briditt's hand, a soft smile on her face that almost lost her mind.
It was the voice of the devil, it was the blasphemous words that led people to fall and make people doubt the laws of life and death that God had determined, but Bridit couldn't get out of it.
Even if it's a demon, it must be the demon she likes. She couldn't even doubt that she must have liked him so much that she couldn't tell the difference between reality and lies.
But just once, once, if it was him, she was willing to believe it, even if he said not a word worth believing.
It's okay to lie, it's okay to talk sweetly, just hearing his voice makes her heart beat faster.
The hand he held was so hot, it was good that he wouldn't notice it. Ah, what to do, I can't even look him in the face anymore.
The appearance of the bear appeared in front of her again, and after crying happily, she had begun to slowly accept the reality of the bear's departure. If the bear is still there, she will also kick it away at this time to prevent it from disturbing her and his alone.
"Well, I believe you. Despite her actual disbelief, Bridit happily gave her hands to the devil—along with her own girlish heart.
Rest in peace, Little Bear, and I will work hard to be happy.
