Chapter 507: Fate

802

"As soon as I woke up, it became a mystery...... It's the equivalent of me dying unconsciously. ”

Klein couldn't help but muttered to himself.

Bethel wanted to look at him, but remembered that their consciousness was now in the same body, so he moved and asked casually, "Do you regret it?" Would you love to die like that? But it was a perfect way to die, and humans are afraid of death. ”

"The Grim Reaper is worshipped precisely because its existence gives death an end, a real 'end'."

Human beings are always afraid of the unknown, and death is tantamount to giving people a vision of the world after death. In this regard, the promise given by the Seven Gods to mankind that "the pious will enter the kingdom of God and be with God after death." Whether it is the Grim Reaper or the Seven Gods, death has changed from unknowable to knowable, and people still have inevitable fear in the face of death, but they also have spiritual sustenance and stability.

And the Grim Reaper is better in this regard, and the horror of death is downplayed to the greatest extent in countries where the living and the dead live.

But "death" itself is still worthy of awe, and the image of the elderly who die in a dream is considered to be the most perfect death, and go to God without pain, is also completely consistent with the image of "Crane Moretti wrapped in a curtain".

Hearing this, Klein couldn't help but sigh, and some smiles appeared on his face:

"I did think about it, when I was hunted down by the gods, I died because of the 'Source Castle', and I had to suffer this fate that I didn't want at all, I also thought about death, and I thought about whether it was better to die."

"Before I was a demigod, I thought about dying, but I didn't do it because I thought 'maybe I could go home' and wanted revenge."

"After becoming a demigod, when I realized that I would never be able to return home, I thought about giving the 'Source Castle' and my destiny to others, so that people who are better than me and more suitable to protect the world can get this position......"

Speaking of this, Klein paused slightly and spoke seriously:

"Mr. Bethel, if you show up when I have just become a demigod and have my revenge, I will really be eager to hand over the Source Castle to you, and give you the hope of the true Creator, and then I will get out of here and return to my brother and sister, even if I can't go home, I can be by their side in another capacity to keep them safe. - That's all things I've really thought about. ”

After saying this long paragraph in one breath, Klein was suddenly a little stunned.

He hadn't thought about it for a long time.

This should have been the most important thing for him, but the greater and more important things such as the Divine War, the future, how to win, how to survive, how to defeat Amon, and how to recapture the Source Fort occupied his mind. The topic of these children's relationships should not be discussed in this current period of hunting, but Bethel did not speak, did not refute or interrupt, as if intending to be a listener.

Probably because Klein hesitated for a little longer, Bethel said lazily:

"Say it."

"It doesn't waste a few minutes and also helps to keep you human. If you don't remember it now, you may not have a chance soon. ”

Although the sentence was harsh and a little sarcastic, Klein breathed a sigh of relief and became a little happier.

"In the beginning, my brother and sister and I lived in Tingen. It's a big city, and we're little people living in it. ”

Those prosperous and beautiful have nothing to do with the Moretti family, who have to live in an old apartment and may enter the lower street at any time.

Klein decided not to mention that he was a "remnant of the old days" because Bethel didn't seem to know about it and didn't mention it.

So he simply began to tell his past as "Klein Moretti" and from the perspective of "Klein Moretti", as if this young man was still alive in this world.

"At that time, the mornings were always noisy and noisy, with a large number of citizens leaving their homes and hurrying to factories and companies, and itinerant vendors gathered on the streets, selling vegetables, cooked food and fruits of difficult quality, which were always cheap."

"I'll protect my wallet, squeeze carefully through them, make my way to the site, and wait with the crowd for the public carriage."

"I originally applied for the job of being a lecturer at the university where I graduated, but because Fort Source disrupted my life plan, I became an extraordinary person of the Church of the Night because of extraordinary events, and I worked at the 'Black Thorn Security Company' at 36 Zotland Street in this city, and I had a good group of colleagues."

"From time to time, I wonder if I hadn't been chosen, if I hadn't been chosen, I'd still be living in Tingen, probably becoming a lecturer at the University of Tingen, and my grades were pretty good – I went to work on time every day, I took turns working in shifts, I helped the professors with their homework, prepared for exams, played cards with my colleagues, and from time to time I accompanied Melissa and Benson to the theatre or circus performances. If I can go home early one day, I study food, which is one of my great passions. On the weekend, I might come and visit my familiar professors and talk to them......"

Crane's expression involuntarily softened, and he was filled with emotion when he remembered those good memories.

The last time he saw Melissa was actually half a year ago, when he had just killed Ince Zangwill, and he was able to get revenge. After that, he couldn't wait to travel to Beckland and meet Melissa.

I just entered the school and talked and laughed with my classmates. At the Technical University of Beckland, she was free to learn what she wanted most.

"I've fantasized about a lot of possibilities."

At that time, I had not been on the sea for long, and I still loved the flavors and delicacies of various places...... I thought that even if I couldn't go back to Benson and Melissa, I could open a bakery in Beckland, or a dessert house, selling Melissa's favorite lemon cake and other flavors, and using my secret puppet as a clerk and cook.

During the time that the real Creator had asked him to think about it for himself, Klein didn't think about so many grand and distant things.

He was thinking about his future, and since he couldn't go back, he was going to plan for a future that belonged to Klein Moretti alone.

He even carefully walked back and forth twice on the street where Benson and Melissa lived, trying to use divination to pick the most suitable storefront.

"But life always pushes me forward, whether it is fate or my self-will, I finally chose this path."

Klein exhaled and said very bluntly:

"At first I was just trying to repay the favor and keep my promises, but then I realized that there was a lot more I wanted to do and I needed to do. For myself, and for the people I want to protect, I need more strength...... On this journey, I have received the help of many people and carried the expectations of many people, and to this day, I cannot go back, and I don't want to go back. ”

"You're right, every time I think of the possibility of 'dying unconsciously,' I feel regret and anticipation."

"But that's not the end for me."

When I decided to continue along this path, I already knew that I was facing the danger of death and endless time, facing myself sealed in the amber of divinity, and I could no longer live my life in peace like a human being or a demigod, and finally enter eternal sleep contentedly in the center of the crowd and weeping of important people...... The quiet land behind the church has long since become his home.

His mood was relieved and a little sad, and Bethel once again clearly felt the difference between Crane Moretti and the person.

“…… Looking at the Source Fort was like a burden to you before. ”

Bethel did not comment on Klein's idea, but said coldly:

"If you want to give up, leave it to me as soon as possible."

Klein then said sincerely:

"Mr. Bethel, if I die before I succeed, then I want you to take over the position of Source Castle and Lord of Mysteries."

"Until then, I hope you can help me protect my brother and sister, whose names are Benson and Melissa."

Sincerity is the biggest killer, and Crane's mood swings make it clear to Bethel that he's not lying, he really thinks so. In the face of such earnest words, Bethel didn't know what to say, so he also told the truth:

"I will."

……

Amon was keenly aware of an abrupt occult connection that forced him to separate his spirit as he wrestled with the remnants of the Spirit of the Thunder God.

- Because this occult connection is so impossible to ignore, it is like an electric drill, with a dangerous humming sound against your temples, and a sign of constant pushing, resonating with a premonition of danger, as if it was about to burrow into your head.

Amon stole distance, cheated space, and grafted his position in the thunderstorm with great difficulty, trying his best to alleviate his injuries, but fortunately he ran fast in the fog of history, otherwise he would have been slapped to death by the power sent by Leodro. Amon was busy looking at the occult connection that had suddenly appeared...... Seeing the outer god standing in his spiritual instincts, which he was not familiar with but often saw, Edward noticed Amun's gaze from the Source Castle, and greeted him out of nowhere.

The Angel of Time was spiritually shaken, unaware that more than a year ago, the "Fool" on the Source Fort had experienced the same inner shock, and he was keenly aware that this could be an opportunity, a chance to escape from Leodro's hands.

As for the monocle that Edward wore on his right eye socket, Amon just glanced at it and stopped paying attention, and it didn't feel familiar.

Because it was too weird, too fancy, and completely out of line with His aesthetic.

Edward pinched his right eye socket and asked without any hurry, "Is the God of Thunder still chasing you?" ”

Rumble!

A bolt of thunder struck Amun's body, and his monocle cracked open in an undetectable crack.

This crack was more powerful than any words, Amon didn't say anything, and Edward pursed his lips to keep himself from laughing directly: "Have you noticed the change in the Source Castle?" Antigonus was about to wake up from his slumber. If you are willing to steal His rites of enlightenment, recite my honorific name, and I will deliver you from the hands of the God of Thunder. ”

Stealing the current rite of antigonus' godhood?

Amon, who had been chased and beaten by Leodro and was about to run to the Fourth Age, really didn't care if the source fort responded to the other high sequences behind his back, but Antigonus, that guy, wasn't the Lord of Mystery consciousness about to recover? Not to mention whether or not there is a godhood ceremony, if you really steal it, will it make those ancient wills awaken in your body?

That's much more terrifying than being chased and beaten by Leodro!

As long as you can escape to the Quaternary ...... With the power of Arista or Solomon's historical projection, there is still a chance to escape.

However, if you take a gamble, you may be able to become a dual-path true god-

Amon hesitated.

He had never faced such a dangerous choice, but his spiritual instincts told him that this was also a chance for him to become a god.

Do you want to say yes...... How much has the mysterious will revived in Antigonus...... Can I really make it? …… Isn't it more hateful than fate to finally throw off Crane's fate and take the initiative to steal the secret will...... If I fail, won't Antigonus become a two-way true god? …… Could there be a conspiracy among the outer gods...... Isn't the Lord of Secrets awakening?

Rumble!

Amon had a tiny crack in his monocle, and he frowned and sweated on his forehead, but he still couldn't make a choice.

Eventually, He replaced the answer with action.

Amon disconnected from the occult with Edward, and ran straight into the historical fog of the Quaternary Age.

……

Feeling the disconnection of his spirituality, Edward regretfully removed the monocle, rewrapped it and put it in his arms, and then smiled at the demon of knowledge in a tone that was not too big to see the excitement:

"The kid gave up."

"It's a pity, then he probably lost the only chance to become a god."

The demon of knowledge was unfazed, he had two secret candidates at hand, and he had agreed terms with him, and Amun's reaction seemed to be in his expectation—or prophecy—as expected. So He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.

After a moment, the demon of knowledge opened his eyes and said:

"Don't give your secret attendant to Antigonus, he can barely communicate when he wakes up. While I like the feeling of the unexpected in the plan, I don't want the end up to get out of my control. ”

"You prophesied with the power of the wilderness?"

"Hmm. If it weren't for the urgency of time, I would even like you to contact your half body and see what He sees as a 'possibility' before making plans. The demon of knowledge said the next words lightly, "There's no need to look at it now. ”

He felt something, looked up at the sky, and saw that there seemed to be something approaching at high speed in the direction of the Eastern Continent - it was a demon wolf that seemed to have come out of mythology, with a tuft of white hair on its head, and at this moment he retreated in a strange posture as if the hair on his whole body had exploded - the "hair" on his body looked closely and looked at it carefully, it was actually an illusory black "curtain", and the "curtain" was approaching the Honachis Mountains, causing the "God of Wishes" Kotal to let out a desperate roar involuntarily, One side was dragged upside down towards the shore.

The demon of knowledge thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed it, directly shrunk into inches, grabbed Kotal, who was still fluttering on the beach on the coast of the Eastern Continent, into his hand, and then stuffed the behemoth into his sleeve with the "curtain" to accompany Adam and Arodes.

Now it's dark, and no one sees this abstract scene.

However, as if sensing that the two sequences had lost contact, the convergence force in the direction of the summit of Honakith suddenly became stronger, and Antigonus's eyes were half-open, struggling to resist the power of the River of Eternal Darkness.

With another strengthening of the gathering power, an illusory pattern appeared on his forehead. Just like Klein, who faced God at the beginning, he chose to let the mysterious will be further revived in his body!

Klein was only in sequence 3 at the time, and he did it when he was emotionally out of control, but there were not much after-effects, but Antigonus was completely different. The moment the light-colored pattern appeared, the white mask was directly pressed against his face, presenting an abstract "crying" expression that a child would casually smear.

Immediately afterward, the "weeping mask" melted into His face and disappeared. Antigonus's dark eyes suddenly glowed with a little light, and his dilated pupils began to gather.

Then his eyes turned upward, his gaze crossed the spiritual realm, crossed the spiritual sky, and his gaze directly locked on Calderón.

"Ba ...... Morality...... Haier ......"

"Damn !!!"

At first, his throat was a little dry, as if his vocal cords had rotted and rusted, and he swallowed a razor blade.

But the next moment, Antigonus woke up, he suddenly stood up from the seat at the top of the peak of Honakis, almost without warning, his body began to crumble, swelled, his face distorted by anger and hatred turned into countless transparent worms, eight thick wolf claws grew from his body, in an instant, the church on the top of Honakis Mountain and the ruins of the Night Kingdom were swallowed by darkness, and an eight-legged demon wolf as tall as the main peak stood on the top of the mountain, every strand of hair on his body flashed with "weird", "weird" and "terrifying" The brilliance!

The "half-fool" has completely woken up!

Immediately afterward, he rushed directly to the spirit realm without hesitation, and countless threads of spirit bodies emanated like invisible light, capturing every creature in his path.

The moment he arrived at Calderón, an orange-red light rushed to his face, and in the light, the god of war took the giant sword of dusk and slashed at his head!

Before the light fell, Calderón was cut in half.
