Chapter 13: I Want to... Resurrect the Mother of Doom!
Airplanes!
Rena disconnected from the World Tree and returned to the underworld, her back soaked with sweat.
It wasn't until Anno, who had been guarding beside her, cast worried and reassuring glances that Rena eased up a little, but she still seemed to have a lingering heart, and she held the elf's hand tightly in fear and never let go.
Seeing Rena's appearance, Anno didn't rush to ask the succubus what he saw.
As the eldest of the five daughters, and Anno who feels the most "parental", the elf hugged Rena's trembling body into her arms, and kept gently patting Rena on the back, as if to say that it doesn't matter, she is there.
After a while, with Anno's help, Rena's spirit was completely stabilized.
The succubus took a deep breath and after leaving the elf's embrace, she began to describe to Anno what she had seen.
In the middle, Anno had been listening quietly, and although she couldn't see a lot, she had a hunch.
But it wasn't until Rena mentioned the scene in the last "healthy" leaf, the world that became a sea of fire, and the terrifying existence of the giant spirit that had been transformed and twisted from the gray-robed man's body, like a mythical creature, that even Anno couldn't help frowning.
"Sister Anno, is it... Is this the end for us? Speaking of the last Rena, her emotions began to unstable again, as if she was muttering to herself in despair after suffering a huge blow.
"If all this is destruction, then why, why bother..."
Rena would break the connection because the flame djinn incarnated by the gray-robed man swallowed all the former "contractors" into her stomach as if she were eating food, and the world was also turned into a sea of fire purgatory.
She couldn't forget the people who had gone through all the hardships, united to defeat the Turbidity, all crying with joy, dreaming of a better future, and wanting to rebuild their homes, only to find that the next second it was all in vain, and the succubus could not forget the desperate and confused eyes of those contractors when they looked at the flame djinn.
Fortunately, Anno has maintained a clear and cool head.
The elf quickly shook his head.
"No, Rena, the Fire Purgatory you see is the destruction of the world from our point of view, but if you look at it from the perspective of the flame djinn, that kind of world may be what it wants."
This just proves that it and the "savior" are two kinds of will souls. ”
"From the worlds you see, we can summarize several commonalities, firstly, every world has turbidity and is on the verge of destruction, and secondly, each world will also give birth to a savior who is the same as the gray man, but there are also great individual differences between different "saviors". ”
"In the end... At present, it is only when the "Savior" successfully defeats the Turbidity, that is, after killing the mother body in the Turbid Abyss, will the mythical creature, the djinn, descend. ”
And if the "savior" fails, even if he is killed halfway, the mythical creature will not come, but will only let the world be destroyed by turbidity. ”
Anno's words made Rena gradually come back to her senses and come to her senses, especially Anno's last conclusion, which is true if you think about it carefully.
If the djinn is really housed in the body of the "savior", then why does it still watch the "savior" die, and if the djinn is really the embodiment of the "will of the world", then why is the world still indifferent to the turbidity?
"Could it be that ... Is it also afraid of turbidity? Rena couldn't help but guess along these lines.
Anno nodded, "It is very likely, or it can be said that it will not be able to fight against the Turbidity at all on its own, so it needs a spokesperson." ”
"Spokesperson..."After repeating it, the succubus couldn't help but say, "Sister Anno, do you mean that those saviors, including Lord Ash, are all such mythical creatures, puppets in our world?" ”
"It's not a puppet, it's more like a cooperative relationship between the two."
"He... Partnership? ”
"Yes, you and I are both familiar with the contract of Lord Ash, and from the other worlds you have seen before, those saviors also have this kind of contract ability, this is the source of our ability to become stronger, we can defeat the turbidity, the source of not being polluted by the turbidity, and this power, I suspect is given by mythical creatures."
Anno's words left Rena unable to refute.
Indeed, the Doomers under the hands of Lord Ash are several times stronger than the rest of the Doomers outside, and the speed of their power growth is also extremely terrifying.
That's why there are so many doomers, all eager to get the contract of the Gray Adult.
And now that they can become the legendary "Calamity" level, Rena asked herself, no matter how much she cultivates herself, it will never be possible to reach such a height in a few lifetimes, and she will die at the peak of the "Disaster" level.
Such a powerful authority is indeed not like what this world should have.
But...
Wrong.
Didn't they speculate that mythical creatures were afraid of turbidity?
If the other party really has such power, why not yourself...
Reading Rena's confusion, Anno quickly guessed: "Perhaps, these mythical creatures are actually very weak, or it may be that they only have authority and do not have power, so they need someone to complete the rest of their tasks, and this person is the savior." ”
"It is likely that every savior has reached some kind of agreement with a mythical creature, which also explains that when killing the Mother of Doom is clearly to welcome the fruits of victory, Lord Ash will voluntarily divide his soul and body."
This may be the final step of the agreement, the mythical creature wants to reclaim the powerful body of this "savior", take it for himself, and become a real... Mythical creatures. ”
Anno's words made Rena's thoughts clearer and clearer.
I feel a chill more and more.
So many worlds in the Starry Sky World Tree, including them, are actually just embryos conceived by mythical creatures?
And all that the Grey Adults have done...
All just to forge a powerful body for mythical creatures?
This...
Is it the "cooperation" in Anno's mouth?
Could it be that Lord Ash knew all this from the beginning, so what are they? What are the countless contractors who trust the Gray Adult?
It's just that...
After the mythical creature took over the "flesh", after hatching from the "embryo", is it a "snack" to fill the stomach?
No...
By no means.
Rena recalls her acquaintance and experience with Lord Grey, the human lord who successfully passed her "test" after she "ran away" to the Grey Dash base, and even the one who was willing to lead the army to fight against the five bases for her sake.
Is this also a collaboration? Is this also salvation? No, this is the will of the "Gray Adult", and it is the true emotion of the Gray Adult!
Because of this, Rena firmly believes that even if there is an "agreement" in it, the Gray Lord must have been deceived, and if the Gray Lord really knew this, he would never make a "give up" move.
Never!
Rena's eyes were wavering, but now they are becoming more and more determined, and Anno on the other side is obviously the same, they may change everything, but they will always trust the person who cultivated them.
Once you've reinvigorated yourself, it's clear what needs to be considered next.
Deter!
They have to stop the tragedy from happening, they have to let the "Gray Adult" know the truth, let the Gray Adult... Come back!
The succubus who came here has completely returned to the wisdom of the former gray empire.
Before Anno could think of a way, Rena grabbed the core at once.
"There it is!"
"Now the soul of the Grey Lord is leaving, because his mission is over, and it is likely that the mythical creature has sensed that our world has become a healthy embryo."
"In that case... We just have to break this rule, and we make this "embryo" incomplete again! ”
Breaking the rules?
Leaving the embryo incomplete?
Anno suddenly understood what Rena meant, and the elf gasped.
"Wait, Rena, do you want to..."
"That's right, Sister Anno."
"I'm going... Resurrect the Mother of Doom! ”
