Chapter 32: The Abyss of Exhaustion
The power of one person can turn the tide of battle.
The joy in Gundam's heart naturally welled up, but it was quickly washed away again.
"Numan's heart will not die......"
Just like Demaro Yin did to the Pure Land of Humanity, Numan also tormented Gundam in the same way.
Boiling the frog in warm water, instead of letting it die happily, tortures each other, trampling it in the mud day and night, and struggles.
However, now, the Temple of Time and Space and the Godhead have appeared in the town of Tannin, and Demaroin can't bear it, and Numan can't bear it either.
The sound of snow treading that sounded comfortable faded away in Gundam's tired steps.
When the day is about to dawn, the Western Sanctuary Castle.
"You say the reason that the Zilman didn't go to war was because he begged the to go to war in the temple?"
Numan was born conceited, with eyes above the top, and even if the Silver White Knight slew a Sanctuary, he would not be in awe, but would see it as a hindrance to his own godhead.
"That's the rhetoric of all the people of Tenne, not even the people ......from their nearby camps," the Temporans of the Sanctuary reported to the inquiry.
"Nope! I don't care what he's doing, as long as he's not at war! He's going to die!
A Zilman, do I still have to offer him? I gave him the opportunity to be a dog, which he couldn't ask for more than ten years ago, but he was very uninteresting.
When the horn sounds, you must go to war against the dark line.
This is the common decree of the two Sanctuary Castles, and if he violates the decree, he will die! ”
Numan didn't have the idea of letting Gundam live until spring at all, the silver-white gods were getting stronger and stronger, and the residents of Tannin Town were becoming stronger and stronger about Gundam, and he couldn't wait.
"We get it." The members of the Sanctuary team knew that it was time to charge the mayor of Natanin Town for violating the law, and then besiege and kill him together in the difficult resistance of the other party.
Numan held the tablecloth in his hand, and he gritted his teeth with hatred for Russell, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Russell is already superior to him, and the Sacred Realm Demonic Beast is equivalent to the peak Sacred Realm of the human race, two against one, he really can't afford to provoke him.
"When I attain Godhead, everything will be surrendered to my feet......" Numan stared at the pattern on the table with resentful eyes.
If he gains the power of Demaroyin, he is afraid that he will be even more crazy than Demaroyin, and the whole world will fall.
“!” There are pseudo-realms of sanctuary, sprawling from outside the castle.
Numan sensed the pseudo-realm and guessed who it was.
"Numan, you could have been quieter, but it's a pity." Russell's voice rang out outside the castle.
Russell had already scolded Nunman, how could he not know the degree of resentment of this villain?
Rather than waiting for Numan to plot against him, so as to prevent him from sleeping, it is better to strike first.
Startled, Numan flew out of the castle and saw Russell, the warrior of the Light Sanctuary looking at him coldly.
"Numan, I've already fallen asleep, but every time I close my eyes, I think of the resentment in your eyes when you turn around, so I'd better ask you to die!" Russell doesn't hide his intentions.
"We are the sacred areas of the east and west, I am the spiritual symbol of the Pure Land of mankind, you can't kill me!" Numan was terrified, and he was searching for traces of the Sanctuary beast.
"Looking for what?" A deep male voice rang out, and an even more powerful pseudo-realm was covering those who wanted to rebel against the castle of the Western Sanctuary.
This is Ron, who is no longer hiding, and stands up.
Killing Numan was proposed by him, and the silver-white gods were already so powerful that they killed the Sanctuary in seconds.
Whether or not invited by Gundam, the silver and white gods are the backers behind Gundam.
Killing a small-bellied chicken intestine, the already not very powerful Sanctuary, can get three godheads, and Ron knows how to calculate this account.
Three godheads, if he doesn't kill Numan, where does he go to find a way to kill three gods to get them?
"Gundam is so strong that we worry that he doesn't need us to keep his oath anymore, and you, Numan, are indeed not a good person.
We could have tolerated you until spring, but unfortunately your order to kill the Gundam was disappointing. Ron looked at the horrified Numan and said slowly.
This guy with a bit of an old gentleman's demeanor makes Numan want to hate but dare not say it.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "What did that Zilman give you?" I can too, I'm the same Sanctuary as you, and we're the longest-lasting allies......"
"He promised to kill you before the summer came, and he would give us three godheads.
It's a pity, you had four months to live, you were too anxious. ”
Oso flew out of the direction where Numan was about to turn and flee, blocking his last path......
At noon, the town of Tannin.
Gundam received a letter, an old letter that had been prepared a long time ago.
Looking at the condition of the envelope and the ink stains, he knew that it was a letter that had been written ten years ago.
At the dinner table, he opened the letter, and he was greeted by the familiar Zilman native language.
"I'm sorry, kid, I was supposed to be on your side, and as a member of the Zilman, I retreated.
When Numan checked all the lists, I didn't have the courage to come forward when I asked who were Zilmans, and I said I was from the Principality.
There are four or five people like this, in fact, you are not the last Zilman, as your fellow citizens, we betrayed you, I'm sorry!
But when you receive this letter, it proves that we are all dead in battle, and we are embarrassed, and we want you to do us a favor.
Open a cemetery in the Pure Land of Mankind, where there are tombs of the Zilman, and we want to get the traditional burial rites of the Zilman.
Let the most powerful Zilmans bury us in that cemetery, and let us return to the bosom of the earth together......"
The last of the Zilmans.
This positioning, Gundam thought that he had been more than ten years ago, but he didn't expect to receive this letter now.
He didn't blame those people, who, for some reason, hid their identity as a Zlman.
Only he was young and vigorous at the beginning, and for the glory of the Zilman people, he affected his family for more than ten years.
"I need to get out there." Gundam said to Risna with a calm smile.
"What's wrong?" Lisina was serving out the potato soup, but unfortunately there was no cabbage or flour in it.
"Go and send the souls of the Zilman people home." Gouda raised the envelope in his hand.
He went out, and the people in the camp celebrated the last night when no one had died, and the fact that they had kept the plantations.
"Gundam-sama ......"
"I'll go out and come back in the afternoon." Gundam speaks quickly.
He left the town, and on the way to the nameless cemetery, he saw a lot of scenery along the way that was different from the town of Tannin.
Some people wept bitterly, some held simple funerals, and some people didn't even bring back a single corpse, and the fever left by the person who left before the departure last night was considered a memorial.
Walking through the various states of life and death, Gundam has a lot of feelings.
Eventually, he saw two corpses covered with white cloths, two hair rubs, and seven men dressed in black and white next to him, where the Zilman battle flag had been erected.
This is the Zilman people, and their families.
"Thank you very much for coming, Gundam-sama!" The tear-stained and haggard woman looked at Gundam, who had received the letter and was willing to rush there.
Gundam looked at this black-haired Duchy woman, who was already old, but her fortune was not too serious, and she was the family of the deceased who had hidden the glory of her Zilman.
"They're ......," Gundam looked at the corpse on the ground.
"This is my husband, my eldest son, my second daughter, and my youngest son." The woman introduced as calmly as she could, and then she pointed to the person who accompanied her, "This is my mother's family." ”
"......" Gundam even the last bit of resentment disappeared.
The other party lost everything, and her mother's family was willing to help her carry the body, but I am afraid she also gave a lot of cold eyes.
What else can he say when the family falls apart overnight? Do you continue to give people a mental blow?
"I see, I'll bury them, according to the rites of the Zilman."
It's not far from the nameless cemetery, and there are simple hand-pulled wooden carts next to it.
The back of the woman's hand, covered with chilblains and cracked fingers, trembled and tucked into her sleeve, and after bowing deeply, she and her family left.
Gundam carried the corpse and the two hairs onto the cart with the same solemnity.
This wooden cart is obviously not heavy for him, but he pulls it very hard, perhaps due to psychological factors.
When he arrived at the Nazrman cemetery, Gouda noticed the weight of the woman's shame.
She did her best to dig a pit in the cemetery, but she didn't have enough time to dig up the other three.
In fact, this is a no-brainer for Gundam.
"Human life is a fragile thing." A voice came from the side.
Gundam listened to her voice, and his heart seemed to calm down.
He reverently asked, "Great Sherry, is there an ideal peaceful world?" ”
Shirley looked at the garden full of pumpkin vines and countless simple wooden tombstones, many of which had decayed with the passage of time.
"In countless worlds, man is perishable, whether it is a world where material depletion is insufficient to support life.
Or those who struggle to survive in the despair of the depletion of faith, they are strong, they are vulnerable, they are easily broken.
Among them, there are also some relatively peaceful worlds, and the war in the whole world has been quiet for a long time.
However, a new contradiction will be born in a generation, and human beings are creatures who are good at creating such contradictions.
When the common pressure of one place in front of everyone disappears, they divide themselves into classes, create more pressure internally, and glorify them.
Even in places where there is no shortage of material, there is a phenomenon of depletion.
That is, the desire to survive is exhausted, and man gradually gives up desires that he can never obtain.
The cheap pleasures they pursue will become more and more empty.
The world in which all human beings exist is like an abyss of exhaustion, into which countless souls have fallen.
Every pressure is a hand that drags the soul.
When people collapse, often before the body reaches the limit, the spirit has completely broken down, and the pain you experience, there are not too many people to empathize with you.
The world you aspire to may not be better, what you should do is to change the present, and before that, to gain the power to change all this. ”
Shirley stretched out his hand, and in the soft light, he made three lower godheads.
Listening to Sherry's words, Gundam had dug the pit and turned around and looked at the three godheads.
"Numan is dead, and this is what you should pay the Main brothers." Shirley tossed it lightly, and the three godheads flew out.
Holding Gundam in his hand, this treasure of the material plane is extraordinarily awkward.
Numan has died, at the hands of Russell and Ron?
"Sherry is on top! By bestowing these three Godheads, you are indicating that ......Gundam has already guessed what to expect."
"Your last battle in Cerren is coming, and when this battle is over, either die or succeed and go to the underworld."
Shirley's gaze fell, and the two bodies that had been put together became whole, and the two rubbed hairs returned to their proper appearance.
A family of four was buried together.
The dead pumpkin vines in the garden are rejuvenating, and the golden pumpkin flowers bloom in winter, which is not very much like the sun, but it is indeed warm in the sun.
The soft light flickered, then vanished.
Captain Gundam knelt where Shirley had just stood, then buried the four men, filled them with earth, planted wooden tombstones, and then put the offerings that had been placed aside, and after watching them deeply, he left.
The Godhead should be brought to the Main brothers as soon as possible to refine, and then, become a force that can defeat Demaroyin.
He waded into the deep snow, stepping out of the warm sun on the horizon......
Far behind the verdant forest.
A man with a gloomy face leaning back against a black coffin looked at his hands.
He was a head taller than ordinary people, and more than a dozen Sanctuaries were prostrate at his feet, trembling.
"You say that the knight who came out of the temple killed one of my dogs with a single face?" This is the eighteenth time Demaroyin has asked this question.
He felt extremely uneasy and terrified of all the forces that could threaten him.
Sitting in this invincible position for too long, he often had nightmares about things that were terrible to him.
He dreamed that he was overthrown and that he was dead.
Or maybe the whole world was completely silent, and he was the only one who lived, and he dreamed that he finally couldn't help it, and used that face teleportation array to go to the so-called divine realm.
Then his great power was not worth mentioning in that world, he was slain, and his most precious godhead was only the currency used to trade in the hands of others.
"Forget it, get out, I don't need you here."
Demaroyin chased them away, and then he fell to his knees and wept bitterly to the sky.
As a god-level powerhouse, how could he have nightmares so often, he had already figured out that this was an unimaginable existence for him, transforming his spiritual thinking at will and filling it with fear!
"Please forgive me! Forgive me! I don't want to meet the end of any of those dreams......"
But after only a moment of bitter crying, he roared hysterically: "I don't accept it, why? Those are just mortals, ants ......"
The already insane Demaroyin didn't know how long he cried, then got up and walked towards the secret room behind the main hall.
He walked into the dark chamber, let go of the realm of the gods, and looked at a figure nailed to the wall.
The man had the same face as him, but his eyes were bloodshot and riotous, hideous and terrifying.
It was his dark subordinate god clone.
Earlier than he went crazy......
