Chapter 253: The End of the World
The night is dark, and the magic capital is still immersed in the frenzied atmosphere behind the end of the competition.
The sleepless city seems to be infected by the excitement of its citizens, and the new world champion is celebrated with shops open all night and entertainment venues full.
The hedonism of Kaos, the "dragon of time and nothingness", overwhelmed reason at this moment, and even if he had to go back to work tomorrow, the citizens still chanted the name of the 'heavy sword man' while drinking heartily.
Epee Man, this is no longer a simple name, but a symbol of legend.
As the commentator recounted, and some viewers firmly believe -
The world champion, Lin Xiao, will bring a new era to this world!
The drizzle fell dimly, soaking this skyscraper city with many high-rise buildings, and the red and blue neon faded into the beauty of the lake and alienation in the rainy night, like a short-sighted person taking off his glasses. The rain splashed on the window of the Jiangtan villa, and the celebration banquet of Lin Xiao and others in the villa was nearing the end.
"I'll help clean up." Chu Yun sat on the sofa and looked at the leftovers on the table.
"No, there's a dishwasher, and Jolene stayed with me to clean up." Lin Xiao said.
Chu Yun took out the cigarette case, picked up the cigarette, was not polite to his good friend, nodded and said:
"Hmm...... I'll go back and check on Kronos, the 'King of Titans', and I'll let you know if there's anything new. β
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chu Yun." Lin Xiao said sincerely.
"If you talk more, you'll get a point." Chu Yun looked at Lin Xiao and showed a hint of a smile: "Congratulations, World Champion." β
Chu Yun and Sigrid stood at the door to say goodbye, Lin Xiao and Jolena were in charge of sending each other, and Sigrid waved her hand while desperately glancing at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao didn't understand what her blinking represented, put her hand on the door, and said steadily: "Goodbye, I have something to contact." β
"What, I'm not happy at all to be a world champion." Sigrid complained twice, then smiled and waved her hand and said, "Okay, good night!" β
The faucet was pouring out clear water, and the sound of water echoed in the quiet room, Lin Xiao held a rag in his hand, enjoying the tranquility of the moment a little, and was slightly distracted.
"You seem to be a little distracted." Jolena's voice came from behind.
Lin Xiao said dumbly: "What's the matter, it's too late for me to be happy." β
"You don't have to lie to me." Jolena walked to another sink next to Lin Xiao, unscrewed the water valve, cleaned up with him, and said in a low voice, "Is something wrong?" β
Lin Xiao closed the water valve and wiped the water stains on his big knuckled hands: "Hmm...... Can't reach Lucifer and the others. β
"What's wrong with the winery?" Jolene asked.
"I don't know." Lin Xiao said.
"It's okay, I'll accompany you back tomorrow." Jolene smiled.
Lin Xiao looked at Jolena's ruby eyes, was silent for a long time, and then said:
"Stay tonight."
"Is that implying something?" Jolene asked in a daze.
"To be honest, I don't know myself." Lin Xiao paused for a moment and said, "Maybe like you said, I'm a little uneasy. β
Jolene carefully examined Lin Xiao's eyes, stretched out her cold hand, and pinched his cheek.
"I'll stay." Jolena said calmly, "But don't use your brains. β
Lin Xiao smiled: "It's enough to have you with me." β
"......Shh Where did you learn it? Jolene's cheeks flushed slightly.
"You have to believe in talent and be patient."
Lin Xiao's eyes were black and white, and he said slowly: "I have to believe that I am studying, and I will love you more than before." β
"Okay, don't be coquettish to me."
Jolena then washed the dishes, crimson to the base of her ears, and said coldly, but did not say the second half of her heart.
I'm afraid...... I can't suppress my love for you.
Lin Xiao looked at Jolena, who was washing dishes beside her, and raised her eyes to look at the drizzle outside the window.
The night was dark, and the mirrors of the windows reflected the bright lights and the two figures side by side.
"Tomorrow I will go back to the winery, and then investigate the 'King of Titans' Kronos."
Lin Xiao said with emotion: "Rest early." β
β¦β¦
Following.
Lin Xiao and Jolena got up early, took an early flight, and drove to a winery on the outskirts of Xingtu City after arriving in Xingtu City.
On the way to the winery, a flock of crows flew up in the forest, and their hoarse chirping kept hovering over the roof of the car.
Lin Xiao's heart became more and more solemn, shrouded in an ominous premonition, like a thick cloud.
Winter!
When the car stopped, Lin Xiao closed the car door and looked at the almost unrecognizable Solomon Winery.
The sight was shocking, the vineyards were turned to ashes, the mansion was burned with fire, and the marble walls were blackened with smoke.
Not a single mercenary was nowhere to be seen, and the wind blew through the dilapidated winery, wafting a pungent smell of burning, as if the luxury winery had collapsed into ruins overnight.
With the smell of the wind blowing on the hem of Lin Xiao's jacket, Jolena's eyebrows were a little solemn, and she said nervously: "Here...... What happened? β
"I don't know." Lin Xiao inspected the fire, his heart gradually sank, and muttered, "My contract connection with Lucifer and Mammon has disappeared. β
"What do you mean?"
"Meaning, I could have used the contract to limit Lucifer and Mammon, but now, I can't find the connection with them......"
Lin Xiao's eyes were solemn, his face was serious, and his mind was filled with bad speculations, which was also the last thing he wanted to see.
Lucifer, the head of the demon gods, and Mammon, the greedy demon god...... betrayed me.
They had been forced to sign a contract by themselves using the [Black Dragon Contract], and now, they have found a way to circumvent the gaze of the 'Dragon of Destruction and Reincarnation' Nidhogg......
Calm down.
Lin Xiao's eyes flickered.
This is nothing more than my own speculation.
Lin Xiao believes that there is a bond between him and Lucifer and Mammon, and the contract also tends to be equal rather than a master-servant contract.
Maybe something happened?
For example, the evil god raided the winery during my finals, which led to the current situation?
Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in Lin Xiao's eyes, and he hurriedly rushed to the ruins of the winery!
"Hey, Lin Xiao! What are you doing! Jolena shouted.
"And the demon god remains in the manor!"
The mansion is mainly made of wood, with a hint of arrogance, as if it had been burned by Lucifer's purple flames. The wooden board was burned to a thousand holes, cracking a big hole, Lin Xiao stepped on the wooden board on the second floor with a 'click' sound, pushed open the door with a 'creak', and saw a pair of resentful eyes.
It was a beautiful woman with a bloody face, her eyes vicious and her red lips seemed to fly out of her eyes, leaning against the broken wall, one hand on her knee.
"Beelzebub?" Lin Xiao said tentatively.
"Heh, you're back." Beelzebub sneered, "I thought you had forgotten all about this place and the beautiful things you said." β
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Xiao asked.
Beelzebub glanced at Lin Xiao's back, and following her eyes, Lin Xiao saw a long-legged Dream Demon Royal Sister who was rubbing her eyes and dozing.
"Let me explain...... Belfinger said lazily, "in short, ...... Here we are, let's break up! β
She explained slowly, and Lin Xiao finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Just yesterday, when Lin Xiao was participating in the World Championship, Lucifer and Mammon broke free from the shackles of the Black Dragon Contract, destroyed the winery and left the place.
Leviathan, the 'God of Envy', and Samael, the 'God of Fury', followed their lead and defected from the winery together.
"But why did you do this, Lucifer and Mammon?" Lin Xiao frowned.
"For a post-apocalyptic new world." Beelzebub said coldly.
"What?"
"In the last days, there is no good or evil. Only when the old world dies will there be the birth of a new world. Therefore, the savior of the old world is precisely the destroyer of the new world. β
Beelzebub sneered, "Lucifer cooperated with you before because she believed that you could save the old world. But now, oh, there is no need to save. β
"Because of you, Lin Xiao, you have broken the shackles of the world and given the god the opportunity to become a ninth-order again. And human beings, in front of the ninth-order gods, are nothing more than replaceable existences. Even if the humans of the old world die, there will be the birth of humans in the new world. β
"She and Mammon have decided to cooperate with the big red dragon 'Satan' to reduce the resistance in the face of the apocalypse - to speed up the arrival of the new world!"
Lin Xiao froze in place, her brain buzzing.
It is true that Lucifer has mercy on humans, but that is nothing more than God's contempt for ants. In his eyes, human beings can also be replaced.
It's like dragons used to be the masters of the world, but after the demise of the old world, humans became the new masters of the world.
And human beings, like the dragons of the past, will eventually perish.
As for whether a new human race will be born after the demise or another earth master, it has nothing to do with the gods.
At the end of the day, gods and humans are two species.
Humanity will eventually perish with the destruction of the world, and what the gods need to do is to strive to escape from the "reincarnation" of world destruction and rebirth.
"I don't understand." Lin Xiao said: "Even if the new world comes, the gods of the old world will not be able to escape the end of destruction!" β
"So they're going to work with Satan." Beelzebub said coldly: "Kronos is a genus of Kaos. If they can devour the 'Titan's King' Kronos, they will be able to fall into eternal sleep through the fragments of the time law of the 'Lord of Time and Nothingness', skip this cycle in a similar way to hibernation and cheating, and become gods again in the new world. β
"You know that Mammon's slut, she has long been planning to create a new world, so when Satan came to the door, she was the first to defect and join the camp to meet the end of the world!" Beelzebub scolded.
Lin Xiao vaguely understood something.
Nidhogg, the Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation, is the destroyer of the old world, but she is also the creator of the new world.
In other words, Nidhogg is also one of the guardians of the world.
The destruction of the world is doomed, and even if the end does not come, the dragon of destruction 'Nidhogg' will take the initiative to destroy this world.
But this time, Doomsday broke the cycle beyond Nidhogg's expectations and was out of the power of the five creation dragons.
Let the gods who should have been destroyed have the opportunity to join the end and jump out of reincarnation.
Even the evil gods don't know if the new world will really come, but instead of destroying the old world together, it is better to join the end and strive to continue to be a god in the new world.
Lucifer and Mammon, seeing through the nature of the world's eventual destruction, betrayed themselves by pinning their hopes on the ethereal new world.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but show a wry smile.
If the end of destruction in this world is doomed, then what am I working hard all the way for?
Join the apocalypse and slaughter all the gods who rebelled against the apocalypse, so that you may be able to clear the game faster......
Wait, the ending of the clearance?
Lin Xiao's eyes showed a glimmer.
No, this is the game world of the Card Master's Guide.
The total extinction ending must not be the best ending.
It's just for the perfect ending - Lao Tzu wants it too, and he will clear the customs with one life!
"So, it was Satan who tempted Lucifer, Mammon, Samael, and Leviathan and betrayed me......"
Lin Xiao finished saying his name in one breath, and said in his heart that I am worse than Jesus, Jesus only one Judas betrayed him, and four traitors came out of me in one breath!
But Lin Xiao can also understand.
Satan is an evil god known for his demagogic powers, and the ideas of Lucifer and Mammon coincide with her.
It's just that Lin Xiao has some regrets...... He thought that humans and gods could really trust each other, but he didn't expect to be betrayed.
"Why don't you leave with Satan?" Lin Xiao looked at Beelzebub.
Beelzebub glared at Lin Xiao: "It's hard to say if there are flies in the new world, why should I go to the new world?" β
"I'm here to protect my subjects and my peopleβAsmantis, who are reluctant to give up her lustful humans." Beelzebub said.
Lin Xiao was embarrassed.
The faith is astringent, and he has made great contributions to the protection of the world.
"That Belfinger ...... Oh, she I know, just too lazy to participate in Satan's plans. Lin Xiao said.
'Slothing Demon God' Belfinger: "...... Well. β
Lin Xiao had already received all the information he needed and was about to leave, but Beelzebub stopped him: "Where are you going?" β
"To the Pacific." Lin Xiao's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he paused word by word, "Cut Satan down." β
"If only the 'Titans' Kronos, Lucifer and Mammon...... If they dare to stop it, I'll cut them down! β
Beelzebub opened her mouth in a daze, choked on her rampant and arrogant words, and muttered:
"You...... Aren't you afraid of death? β
"At the end of the day, you are just a human being, you only have the source power of the peak of the eighth order, and you have no qualifications to become a god at all!" Beelzebub cried.
Lin Xiao fell silent and slowly spoke:
"I've been hesitating and thinking about what I need to do to protect this world......"
"Even after becoming a World Champion, I was thinking about it, but I couldn't come up with a conclusion."
"But now, I've found the answer."
A hint of sharp edge flashed under Lin Xiao's eyes. "All I can do is destroy."
The terrifying coercion enveloped Beelzebub's body, and that coercion had even touched the realm of the ninth order, her eyes flashed with a trace of shock, and she asked hoarsely, "What?" β
Lin Xiao said slowly: "'Lord of Destruction and Reincarnation' Nidhogg, the dragon of doom recorded in mythology, she took away the last life in this world and ushered in the rebirth of reincarnation and the world - Nidhogg, she is the real guardian. β
"All I have to do is take over Nidhogg's mission and complete her path of destruction."
Lin Xiao said: "Destruction is also salvation. β
It was as if a black dragon with its wings outstretched appeared in front of him, spewing burning fire into the world, burning any god who dared to resist to ashes.
As if breaking out of a cocoon into a butterfly, the source power that had been stagnant for a long time transformed at this moment, and moved towards the path of a ninth-order god.
Beelzebub fell into a trance, pursed her lips with difficulty, and heard the awe-inspiring words of the man in her ears.
"I am the end of the world, I am the end of the world!"
