Ares?

Ares??

The male god of mankind, the one who defeated the demon god in the mythological era with the "spear of Longcinus" blessed by the gods, the Ares who is known as the strongest god of mankind?

But here, the Tower of Babel behind the Demon God Temple, the place that belongs to the Demon God, how could the male god of mankind be imprisoned here? Shouldn't it be the defeated Demon God who is imprisoned here?!

Du Wei felt that he was speechless.

Ares' figure was sealed in crystal, but when he sighed softly, the voice was faint, and there was a sadness in it that was so thick that it could not be dissipated, but it seemed to have some kind of infectious power.

Even if it was Du Wei, after hearing this sigh, he couldn't help but feel as if his heart was filled with that inexplicable sadness......

Du Wei could feel that there seemed to be a look in the crystal that enveloped him, and then Ares's sigh came: "You are really not Aragorn...... But so what? No matter who you are, I'm here anyway, and it's not you who is waiting. ”

Hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help but ask: "That...... Who are you waiting for?"

"She!it's her!!"

Ares's voice suddenly revealed a monstrous anger like a lit gunpowder!

"It's her! I'm here. Bear this never-ending imprisonment in place of the demon god, and bear these ten thousand years of loneliness and pain in his place! Just because he promised me that one day, he would throw her here!!"

Du Wei's heart fluctuated when he heard this, and he only felt that this matter was getting more and more chaotic.

Ares...... Instead of the Demon God being imprisoned here? It seems that the human god of war has fallen to the side of the demon god?

History, history, what the hell are you?!

"Ares...... Well, then, why are you here? Is the Earth Demon God already out here?"

Ares was silent for a moment, then he smiled. When he laughed, the laughter seemed to fall directly into Du Wei's heart, and then Du Wei heard the other party say, "Human ...... If you're not Aragorn, why are you here? and...... Why do you have the same starry sky realm as Aragorn?"

Du Wei shook his head: "This matter is complicated...... I'm not really Aragorn, but you can think of me as his stand-in...... There really isn't much difference between this. ”

Then, Du Wei had already moved his body. Originally, he had forcibly supported the Starry Sky Realm before, and his body could not fully withstand the power of the domain level at all, and he was already on the verge of collapse, but at this moment, he had fully recovered.

"No matter what. Ares. Thank you for saving me, otherwise my body would have turned to dust. Du Wei's tone was very sincere, and then he looked at Qiao Qiao who was lying there: "Thank you for saving her." ”

There was a hint of mockery in Ares' laughter: "You don't have to thank me. Because even if I don't save you, here, you won't die. It's just that if you die here, then you will be imprisoned in this place forever. Then you can also keep your soul in a state of being, as long as you spend a little longer. You can also reshape new lands with your powers. ”

"What do you mean......" Du Wei asked very seriously, "just die here once." Will you be imprisoned here forever?!"

"Yes, because here...... It's an eternal seal left by the goddess!" Ares laughed with a deep mockery, "Because the power of the Demon God Land is too strong. Even though he was defeated by finding a weakness, he couldn't die as a god. So it can only be sealed. And the goddess has set up such a sealed space here. Moved the entire Demon God Temple here. This is a divine realm, we are imprisoned here, we can never get out, and the two guardians outside, they are also imprisoned here, enjoying eternal captivity! eternal loneliness and loneliness! including me......"

"I don't understand. Du Wei shook his head, and then he stared at the crystal above: "You are the male god of the human race, Ares, you are a god! And this is still the realm of the gods, since you still retain the power of the gods, why can't you go out? Could it be that the power of the goddess has surpassed you? You know, I heard that you are the real and most powerful god of the human race." ”

Ares' laughter retreated into the tower, and it took a long time for his laughter to subside.

"Human, tell me, how much do you know about the Age of Mythology?" Ares' voice was filled with a sense of solemnity.

"Not much, but not less. ”

Then, without waiting for Ares to speak, Du Wei took the initiative to tell him what he knew—the stories he had heard from the Spirit King Luoxue. Especially, at the end, it tells the story of the "demon king and the girl" that is still circulating in the world......

"The demon king who ravages the world has fallen in love with a beautiful human girl. And that beautiful girl decided to sacrifice herself and marry the demon king in order to save humanity. said goodbye to his lover tragically. Subsequently, the beautiful girl deceived the trust of the demon king, and after finding the weakness of the demon, she united her lover and clansmen to defeat the demon king together......"

When Du Wei said this, he heard the voice of Ares above his head say faintly: "...... Is this story still being told now?"

After a pause, his voice seemed to become more bitter: "I see...... She actually allowed such a story to continue to circulate, I thought that she would wipe out all traces of history......" Then, he sneered, and finally laughed louder and louder, and finally laughed: "Good! good! Sure enough, she still keeps this story! hahahaha! I should have thought of it a long time ago!"

Du Wei felt a sword-like gaze fall from the top of his head. It's like you can pierce your own body!

"Human, tell me, what do you think of this story!, isn't it jīng彩?!!" Du Wei was silent for a while, and his voice unconsciously revealed a faint trace of pity: "No, I feel very sad. ”

"Sad, you're human! This is the story of a human defeating a demon king, why do you feel sad? You should cheer for it!!" "Yes, maybe I should." Maybe. I should have cheered, but I still felt a little sad. Du Wei added: "I feel sad for that demon king. ”

Ares was silent for a while, then whispered, "Why?"

Du Wei sighed and said sincerely: "Be a ...... person No, even if he is the Demon King, when he is willing to tell that beautiful girl about his greatest secret, his greatest weakness...... It's not because he's stupid, because no one casually tells anyone about his greatest weakness! He does it because of love, because he really can't help but fall in love with that girl. Falling in love with that human girl! Even though he is the demon king who does all kinds of evil described in the story, but he tells his greatest secret and biggest weakness to the woman he loves! This is an absolute trust that can only be had because of love! It's a pity that ......" said this. Du Wei's tone gradually softened, and he said softly: "It's a pity that he was betrayed by the person he loves the most." I can even imagine seeing the person I love the most betray me. Bring your enemies with you. And then used the weakness he told her to, and in turn deeply hurt himself - what kind of despair and sadness was in the heart of the demon king!"

Du Wei shook his head and said in a low voice, "I also have my favorite person...... I can't even imagine that one day, if she betrayed me and stabbed me in the heart, I would probably be in despair. I don't even have the courage to live...... No. Even if I could live, I would give up myself, because I am afraid I will not be able to bear the pain. ”

In the Tower of Babel, there was silence for a moment.

Du Wei looked up overhead. In the midst of the great crystal, Ares was silent.

After a long time, Ares's voice gently fell into Du Wei's ears:

"Seemingly, you get the idea. Ares's voice was like a sigh: "People in the world don't understand...... However, it seems that you understand. ”

"That's right. Du Wei nodded, his voice was very serious: "Perhaps, I haven't experienced the era when humans were enslaved by demons, and perhaps, because of this, although I am a human being, I don't have much personal experience." So, even though I know that humanity has defeated the demon god, I should be excited, but whenever I think about the fate of the demon god...... I can't help but feel a little pity for him in my heart. ”

"For 10,000 years...... I've only heard that twice. And it was all after I was imprisoned here. The first time I came here and said that to me, it was Aragorn. And the second one, it's you. ”

Ares was sighing, but this time his voice seemed to be much softer, less cold.

"Then tell me, Ares, why are you here, a god who is also a human?!"

"Because...... The story of the demon king and the maiden, and what you heard, is not all! Ares snorted. Anything else going on?"

"Yes. Ares's voice became low, and his tone was full of helplessness and sadness: "Because, it's not just the girl that the demon king falls in love with, and at the same time, the girl also falls in love with the demon king.

The girl is also in love with the Demon King?

The goddess of light of mankind, in love with the demon god?!

Du Wei felt that he was really dizzy all of a sudden!!

Then, Ares's voice sounded softly, and the faint voice began a legend that had been sealed for thousands of years...... All still remember vividly everything that happened that day. Every detail flashed through my mind over and over again - every detail!

She is my lover, and when she took the initiative to dedicate herself to the Demon God Land in order to defeat the Demon God, the torture to me was enormous! I still can't get rid of that pain...... And. Never get rid of it!

That day, when she succeeded, I took the spear of Longcinus, which had been blessed by the gods, and walked into the Temple of the Demon God and into the Tower of Babel!

I heard the demon god's painful and frantic howl, and I don't know why, but I could feel the pain faintly. The pain of losing a loved one!

I remember when I rushed into the Tower of Babel with the great god of jīng and the beast god, we saw him...... Once, standing in front of him. The strong enemy who can give us a great sense of oppression, at that moment, he looks so weak - I have never seen him show such weakness.

I seemed to understand his weakness. It wasn't because she was sleeping on the ground. Cut off the horns of the demons in his land. That weakness seemed to come from the pain of a broken heart.

I'll never forget the look in his eyes!

Although he was surrounded by many powerful enemies, and despite losing his demonic horns, at that time, he didn't seem to look at us at all, but only looked at her.

Then, in that heartbreaking voice, he asked, "Why!!!"

The battle that day was very tragic!

We were all wrong!

We originally thought. After finding the weakness of the demon god. We have also created a peerless artifact such as the Spear of Longcinus, which concentrates all the power of the gods, and we should be able to take advantage of the opportunity to defeat him.

Unfortunately, we are still wrong!

Even if you lose the devil's horns, like this. As a result, the Demon God almost lost more than half of his strength.

But even so, in the battle, he showed that he was strong, but he was still impossible for us to resist!

Because he is a demon god! He is the strongest god in the world! His strength, even in the weakest moments, is not something we can resist! Even if we all put it together!!

The brutality of that battle made us all fall into despair for a while...... For if we can't defeat him even like this, then what awaits us is eternal captivity! And the final turning point ...... But it happened at the end.

I remember very well that he could have defeated all of us, but in the end, she finally made a move, after not making a move.

I still vividly remember that he was invincible to each of us, but when facing her, he seemed so powerless.

Even the Dwarven God's Mjolnir can withstand it. Even the powerful beast power of the orc god could not hurt him! Even the magic of the jīng spirit god was dissolved by his wild laughter!

But when she struck, the dagger in her hand stabbed at him - he didn't dodge!

No, not without dodging.

Rather, he didn't hide at all!!

A dagger could not hurt his body at all. However, when the dagger pierced his body, I could clearly see a despair in his eyes!

He didn't dodge, he didn't get stabbed by the dagger, but it was he who was hurt

Although nothing was indicated, although he did not say anything. But I saw a ...... in his eyes Abandon!

He gave up!

When I stabbed him with the spear of Longcinus, he didn't even look at me, and he just stood there, as if he had become a motionless sculpture!

Even when the spear of my roncinus pierced his skin and pierced his chest, when all the divine powers blessed by the gods rushed into his body......

He still didn't move!

He didn't even look at me!

His face, his eyes, were only on her. From beginning to end, just for her!

Then I heard him ask softly:

Is that the land you want?

When this sentence is finished. There was even a hint of despair on his face!

And then...... He, this powerful existence that once made us all tremble, finally slowly fell!

At that moment, I suddenly understood something.

He wasn't defeated by me. Nor was he defeated by our gods.

Not defeated by the spear of Roncinus in my hand!

The only one who defeated him was her!

Yes...... He fell.

He finally lost.

The powerful existence that used to be high above and made everyone tremble. Fell.

But at that moment, I forgot to be happy! I forgot to cheer!

Because, unfortunately, I saw her eyes.

Because, from her eyes, I also did not see the joy and high that the victor should have

Her eyes, at that moment, were empty.

At that moment, I suddenly felt: I'm afraid, I didn't just lose her temporarily!

Although dedicated to the demon god. It's just a temporary plan...... But at that moment, I seemed to have a hunch that I was not temporarily losing her...... But forever, lost her!

And later. Everything, where it happens. I was right in my hunch at the time. With Ares' voice, the solemn tone, the sad voice, made him dare not interrupt the other party at all.

And when Ares said this, he fell silent and did not speak for a long time.

Du Wei waited for a while before he couldn't help but ask, "And then? Is this the end?"

Ares was awakened from the silence by Dewey's voice, and then he seemed to smile:

"If that's the end of the story. I'm not going to be here anymore...... in the midst of the war. I've always been by her side, but I've felt more and more that she's getting farther and farther away from me, even when she smiles at me. Even if she looked at me, I felt that it was a kind of distance!

And almost a hundred years later, the Second Mythical War broke out...... There is another war between us and our former allies, with the orcs, dwarves, and jīngs.

And at that time, I was still standing by her side!

I fought for her, I shed blood for her, and under the spear of Longcinus, stained with the blood of my former allies.

Actually, I didn't want to do that.

We are gods, and I have always felt that as gods, I don't have much hope anymore.

But I saw it in her eyes!

I even felt that when she looked at the Demon God Temple, when she looked at the Tower of Babel, there was already a kind of worship that I couldn't understand.

Yes, that's right, a cult.

And then...... After defeating the Demon God, it was as if she wanted to replicate it all!

Perhaps, she was not content to be just one of the gods.

She wants to be the greatest god of all...... Even, the one and only God!

I'm still willing to fight for her. Because I knew that I couldn't refuse any of her requests. I will go when she wants me to fight! I will shed my blood when she wants me to shed my blood!Finally, the gods who had worked together to forge the spear of Longcinus tasted the power of the artifact they had made.

After the Second Mythical War, we were still victors.

After the war ended, I thought that it was all over, that I could finally stop facing those things, but I could be with her in peace from now on.

I don't care about human adoration of me, I just want to be with her quietly.

As a god, I have a near-eternal life, and for me, in this eternal life, the only pleasure is to be with her, to look at her, to listen to her voice, to look into her eyes.

But...... Little did I know that she had changed!

And, a long, long time ago, it changed.

She brought me here that day.

After the demon god was defeated by us, he has been sealed all along. And when the Second Mythical War ended. She said to me, though she had defeated the gods of the other races, and forced them to take an oath and stay away from the mainland. But these are not safe. Because, there is also the existence of a demon god!

In order to prevent the defeated from dying and secretly releasing the Demon God, we must seal the Demon God in a place where they cannot find it. In the end, we chose the farthest snow-capped mountain in the northwest of the continent. Here, she used her divine power to open up a space, a divine domain. Then, she took me into this divine realm. "What?" said Du Wei was already sighing.

"And then?" Ares seemed to laugh, but there was a deep mockery in his laughter, "She told me to strengthen the seal here." And sealing a powerful demon god requires a lot of divine power. I didn't want to see her spend it, so I took it upon myself. I used a lot of divine power to strengthen the seal here, making this Tower of Babel into the scope of my divine domain.

Unfortunately, just when I had exhausted a lot of strength and was already feeling very tired.

And when I was using my divine power, I gave her the spear of Longcinus. But just when I was done with everything, I turned around and was greeted not by her smiling face.

But......

Icy spear tip!

I think...... At that time, I suddenly understood a lot.

I suddenly remembered the look on the face of the demon god when we defeated her, and the look in her eyes when she stabbed her dagger at him.

Because, I think, my expression and eyes were the same at that time.

There are even some strange feelings about the ...... I wasn't too surprised at the time that she would do it. Even I don't know where this feeling comes from.

In my heart, I suddenly remembered the words that the demon god asked her before she was knocked down by us:

Is that what you want?

At that time, the spear of Longcinus pierced my body, and then, I did not resist and did not strike at her.

I just, looking into her eyes, and in the same low voice, asked her.

Is that what you want?

When this sentence appeared in Du Wei's heart, he suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart, and he also felt infinite pity for this Ares. God?

God is so sad!

"What did she say to you?"

"She said two sorry to me. Ares chuckled softly:

She said, "I'm sorry, because I felt like I couldn't face you anymore a long time ago, because every time I face you, I feel guilty about you in my heart, and I think of him, so I have to do it." I'm sorry, but because I hope that in this world, from now on, there is only one God, and that is me. ”

After saying this, Ares said slowly:

"I thought, that's what she wants. ”
