Chapter 534: The Curtain Falls
828
Amon sat in a corner of the spirit world, fiddling with a spirit creature that looked like a crow.
Suddenly, He looked up at the astral plane, and saw a star that had been hanging there thousands of years ago quietly falling.
The small piece of sky lost its light, but Amon still looked up at it for a long time.
It's not that he has any deep friendship with Badhair, or that he is saddened by the death of the god of war, Badhair is just a nasty thing to Amun, and he is also one of the murderers who participated in the redemption of Rose, and Amon is only confused and confused at this moment, and it seems that the powerlessness that he has been deliberately ignoring finally catches up with him after he loses the Source Castle. The familiar person finally died again, even if it was the enemy, which made Amon feel extremely strange to the present, to the future, and to the whole world.
He is becoming more and more incomprehensible to the world, He is less and less familiar with things, less and less familiar people, and He cannot continue to hide and survive with thousands of years of experience.
The next moment he realized that he had been deceived into taking the source fort, Amon seemed to hear the footsteps of death getting closer and closer, and the final battle that had dragged on from the Quaternary Age to the present seemed to be finally slowly approaching him from behind.
After a moment, Amon lowered his head.
At this moment, he had no emotions for the spirit creature in his hand, which looked like a crow, and threw it away, watching the guy run away frantically while screaming, and he didn't play with the other party's mood again.
In just a few minutes after losing the Source Fort, Amon stayed in this small place and didn't go anywhere, thinking quietly.
He was thinking about how many things he had misjudged.
As a creature, he always has his own personality and way of thinking, so it is sometimes difficult for Amon to judge whether there is something wrong with his actions after the matter is over, and in general, as the king of angels, he does not need to review these small things. But now he had to start a review, and was even forced to use the power of the "decryption scholar" to review and think about his future plans.
"The most recent one was just now."
"The mysterious will awakened, and the Source Fort showed rejection to me, and then I left the Source Fort in fear of danger."
And Amon waited nervously in place for a long time, and did not hear the voice of the Lord of Mystery, nor did he feel the will of the Mystery awaken in anyone, and after a few seconds of threat and a simple fool, nothing happened.
As it turns out, the Lord of Mysteries has not awakened, and the only difference from before is that he is no longer accepted by the Source Castle.
It's a simple fraud, but it's aimed at Amon's instinctive fear of something that "could threaten his own life." As a result, Amon was hit with almost no resistance, and he didn't dare to stay in the "Heavenly Venerable's body" any longer, so he easily lost the Source Fort because of this fraud.
“…… The will of the Lord of Mysteries must have awakened in Antigonus, otherwise it would not have been possible to use 'fooling' on me, but it was that moment, and he didn't react anymore...... Probably has fallen back into a deep sleep. ”
The intelligence is insufficient, Amon can only speculate.
"The Source Castle will not be empty all the time, whether it is Bethel or Antigonus, or Klein Moretti, they will try to make contact, but they should not have as much control over the Source Castle as I did when they first arrived. I left too hastily, if I stayed, anyone who entered the source fort later would be caught off guard by me using the source fort ......"
Amon didn't think about it anymore after he was caught off guard, because he, a king of angels, didn't know what else to do after the fight, kill them? If it was Bethel, it didn't seem possible, and if it was Antigonus, it didn't seem like he could win if he was gathering around like crazy with the will of the Lord of Mysteries, and only Crane, who was only in sequence two, could let him bully him.
Amon was very depressed and annoyed by the loss of essentia in this way, but it had already happened, and he had no other way to be upset.
"Before that...... Maybe when the gods asked me if I was going to steal Antigonus's fate, I should have said yes? ”
"But he was in a state where he would become the Lord of Secrets as soon as he was promoted......"
Thinking of this, Amon was still a little hesitant as always.
On the one hand, he thought that he might not be so embarrassed if he agreed, but on the other hand, he knew that he would not agree if he was given another chance to choose. He didn't know that his reaction was in response to someone's words in the old days, and that no matter what choice people make, they will regret it in the end.
"Maybe sooner, I shouldn't have wasted most of my time with Parles? Should I go and kill Klein Moretti first? ”
"But how did I know about the danger of Klein Moretti at that time? How did I know that Klein had a priority over Paris? What's more, I also used him to get rid of that 'Sasriel' in the Eastern Continent......"
"No, in fact, I also had a chance at the beginning, at that time Bethel had not yet returned, and the Demon of Knowledge had to maintain a two-way summoning ritual to pay attention to the situation of the fallen mother goddess, and I also had the opportunity to use the Source Fort to steal the 'door' god ceremony at the moment of Bethel's return, but--but that traitor did it to me first and drove me into the fog of history, I didn't have a chance to do it at all!"
When Amon finally exhausted the power that the other party used to drag him back to the Source Fort, he found that the dust had basically settled, Bethel had become a normal god, and Antigonus had fallen into madness, and he had completely missed the opportunity to join the battle in time!
Amon recalled everything that had happened, and his mood was inevitably a little broken.
Before this scuffle began, both spiritually and fate had told him that this was the time to take advantage of the chaos to extract the greatest good, but the result was that he was completely passive and did not have time to do anything, and several of his enemies grew up in an instant, putting him in danger.
Is it time to fight to the death?
Amon was a little uneasy.
Bethel has become a true god, and now he is the most competitive one, he can directly find the way to the source fortress by opening the door, and no matter how bad it is, he should come to find other angel kings who are trying to multi-channel true gods - Antigonus and Bethel are in the same position, both within Calderon's seal, Amon feels that he can directly see Bethel as a "door" and "fool" dual-path true god.
"How do you become a god?"
Amon found that there seemed to be only one last answer left, he still wanted to live, but now that even living as a spirit stitch monster had become his luxury, and he had to do something if he didn't want to be a second way to wait for Bethel to come and eat.
In other words, even if you run for your life, you have to take advantage of it now.
Flee to the stars?
But I know almost nothing about it, so isn't going out the same as delivering food to the outer gods?
There is no second person who will become a god to become His ritual at the moment, and besides, the existence of all the gods who know the "wrong" rite of godhood is unlikely to make anyone ready to be promoted now...... Amon couldn't help but give up thinking for a while, but at this moment he suddenly discovered something - the god of war has been dead for a while, and it stands to reason that it is long overdue to dispose of the spoils of war, but now there has been no vision of the "fool" becoming a god!
Isn't there a global proclamation of the two-way true God? No way! When the true Creator received the authority of the sun, he was so powerful!
In other words, Bethel did not contain the uniqueness and sequence one of Antigonus!
This fact made Amon suddenly shake his spirits, and then cold sweat broke out uncontrollably.
Although it is not known why Bethel did not eat Antigonus's trait, it means that the "Fool" may still be born!
Other words......
The one who still has a chance to become a "fool" is either Antigonus or Klein Moretti, so Amon must now decide whether to steal the godhood ritual of the "fool", which is almost equivalent to the Lord of Mysteries!
Amon's pupils dilated slightly.
There is destiny in the dark, and the source of the path has already determined everything. It seems that there is no escape, fate is waiting for you here, and the choices that He feared, ridiculed, and avoided before have now reappeared in front of Him in the form of a last chance.
Even if He plucks up the courage to fight now, he may not succeed, and the answer may be madness, or it may be...... Utterly dead.
In a trance, Amon seemed to hear someone sneering, but he lost the courage to turn back.
……
Above the Source Castle, Crane looked at Antigonus, and Antigonus looked at the world in the picture, which was based on black spatial cracks and confused countless complex colors, and was silent for a long time, and finally slowly breathed a long sigh of relief.
Crane didn't pay attention to the sieve-like space, apparently Bethel had maxed out his power output in order to kill with one hit, and was now mentally resting. The doubly polluted "Scroll of the Gods" floated directly above the black void and was unaffected, and not far away, the Dusk Greatsword belonging to the God of War was blown away and stuck diagonally on the ground, and the light became faint.
The traces left in the spiritual realm are erected by the future spiritual masters, so they are not in a hurry to do it now. No one spoke on the source castle, and Crane looked at Antigonus, as if watching a person lose his last motivation and belief to live in an instant, and lose his last burden and all his memories of this world, and in the moment of exhalation and breathing, he went from youth to aging.
Although Antigonus was still like that, in Crane's eyes, he seemed to have gray hair and drooping old age.
After a moment, Antigonus turned his head and looked at Klein:
"Maybe I've made you lose a real mystery."
"Recovery wasn't difficult," Klein said. ”
Maybe it's okay to use the power of the Source Fort to achieve a "miracle"? Klein looked at the armor and flesh fragments scattered around, it really can't be used for historical projection, anyway, the other party's spirit line has been mastered by the Source Fort, and rounding is also something that has been obtained.
Hearing this, Antigonus knew that he had not angered the other party, so he did not have to worry about dying in pain later.
Then He visibly relaxed, and sat down in the place of the fool.
Antigonus looked left and right, his gaze swept over the gray mist around him, then at the long bronze table in front of him and the stone pillars of the towering dome in the distance, thinking about what he would do if he got here. At this time, he didn't pay attention to the mysterious lord next to him at all, and his every move carried a little bit of the willfulness and surplus of a dying man.
Crane didn't speak, but let Him see. Although he felt that the Lord of Secrets should have said something at this time, otherwise it would not match the sarcastic appearance at the beginning, but Crane didn't want to speak now, no matter how he played, he couldn't change his nature, as a complete human being, he was still young, and he could never witness a person's death calmly or even lightly.
"I never thought I would have a chance to enter the Source Fort in my lifetime."
Antigonus looked around, and finally looked at Crane, and suddenly felt that the mystery was actually quite good: "There is still a chance to be a 'fool', not half a fool." ”
Klein also laughed: "yes, I didn't expect you to ask me to help you deal with the problem, you will come to me as a waiter soon." ”
Antigonus thought for a moment, "Will you hang me from the ceiling of the Source Fort?" It's all foggy, and it's scary to hang on. ”
"I don't have that idea."
Klein recalled the Church of the Night Kingdom in the hidden town, the men, women, and children hanging densely on the rooftops, the gentle goddess with wolf claws, and finally Zarathu, who was pulling himself to play cards and chess: "You can get ready." ”
What else can you prepare? Preparation for death, of course.
Antigonus was a little surprised that the Lord of Mysteries spoke of death so tactfully, but he didn't care about these little things, he closed his eyes, and began to remember his life like a dying person in one person's imagination. The short period before death was always so long that Antigonus took his life from frolicking with his people in the Hornachis Mountains to recalling that Amon had stolen one of Bethel's buttons at a banquet in the Quaternary Age, and that death had not yet come after Bethel had rarely slanted his coat.
Isn't it a little too long? Three minutes, right?
Antigonus opened his eyes and looked at Crane, only to see that the other party was also staring at him, and he didn't mean to do anything at all.
Crane, who was protecting himself in order to steal the will to succeed once, asked lightly:
"Are you ready?"
…… I just closed my eyes and waited for death, wasn't it ready? Antigonus's affection for the Lord of Secrets disappeared in an instant, and what was even more hateful was that the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere just now was gone, and he was now a little uncontrollably anxious about the impending death.
Before the addition was enough, Crane tried to delay the time with a few more words:
"It's so strange that you're a mythical creature."
"Why are you so greedy for the past? You whispered in your sleep the name of the Demon Wolf King and your original hometown, and I can't understand your thoughts when you had the opportunity to become a fool but decided to die with your sister. Isn't it good to have strength and eternal life? ”
Antigonus frowned slightly, it was not the first person to ask him this question, not to mention that this was the Lord of Mysteries, so he replied without any anger:
"All living things have desires."
"Because after I gained strength, I realized that what I wanted was to go back to the past, to live a peaceful and free life."
"For no other reason, this is my answer. Such a simple idea, but it seems that many humans don't understand, and sure enough, it's because humans want too much that they can't make trade-offs about what they want most. ”
Klein stacked enough strength and was ready to strike a blow, and he couldn't help but smile and sigh when he heard the words.
Such a simple idea has long been impossible to realize because of the passage of time. Maybe it's better to find yourself a new goal, at least, the power won't abandon you. ”
This answer was more in line with the identity of the Lord of Mysteries, and Crane didn't say much, he clenched his fist violently, and instantly stripped Antigonus's consciousness from his body, and his eyes, which were about to speak, suddenly lost their brightness, and he sat there sluggishly.
Then, Crane reached out and grabbed the spirit thread that Antigonus had extended out, taking control of the other party's real body.
Bethel had just taken off the "Scroll of God", and he didn't dare to grasp it, and he didn't want to stare at it, when out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Antigonus's body was gradually shrinking, as if he had taken on a human form, and finally disappeared under the gushing gray mist.
…… There are no traces of sacrificial rituals? Bethel was a little surprised, was this using the power of the Source Fort to use "teleportation"?
Antigonus, who was dressed exactly like his own spirits, appeared in front of Crane, and Crane made them compatible and became his secret couples, and after thinking about it, Crane temporarily let the "half fool" sit in his place.
The gray mist drifted in, obscuring the other person's appearance, and it looked no different from the usual self in the eyes of others.
Klein looked at the gray consciousness in his hand, reached out, and sent it into the fog of history.
A small gray mist floated in the dark world with the changing thoughts, gradually disappearing as if it were constantly evaporating, and finally completely merged into the fog.
The Honakis Mountains and the dreams of peace when my father was still alive are gone, and the world is destined to be filled with cruelty and death, whether you are greedy for the past or longing for strength to move forward, in the end, you will inevitably die of your body or the death of your ego.
Your brothers and sisters were buried by time one after another, and in the end, you also gladly died.
In the history of the First Age, the descendants of the demon wolves played carefree.
And with the death of Antigonus, this history finally came to an end.

Good night!
Early readers should remember that I wrote a chapter about the Rose School slaughtering the city and then being banned for three days, I don't know if it was a normal ban or a report.
There are not even details of the massacre in that chapter, only descriptions of the aftermath of the battle and the mess of corpses that had been cut horizontally and vertically on a tree and then sealed for three days.
Although I know that it is not possible to push all the design of the plot to the reporting and blocking mechanism, but that time really made me more cautious than before, in my original vision, Lao Ai will do a lot of things after becoming a demon god, such as engaging in arms, provoking civil wars, foreign wars, making war money, and selling human brains, human flesh, and military food, and even the demon family will have a new angel to inherit the previous title of Lao Ai, but the actual performance in the end turned out to be that everyone was lying flat together anyway, so they couldn't do anything, so let's go to bed first......
How did the first demon god of the same people become like this! Who turned you into this!
Really, I discussed with my friends those plots that I couldn't write so I didn't write, and as a result, I was in a hurry to discuss them. I know there's an ingredient in painting cakes.,But I hope that some readers who are not satisfied with the status quo don't read it first, just wait for the BE volume after the end of the text.,The text made a lot of concessions in the middle and late stages.,Cut the original stirring plot of the old love, causing the story to become more group-like.,Although the characters have their own growth highlights, personality charm, but it's inevitable that everyone will be disappointed by the protagonist's fishing., So far, I only want to say one sentence, that is, why this text part has not been written yet, I want to write BE, I want to write extra, ahhh!!h
