001: The Meaning of Salvation

The brave man who hits the demon king will become the next demon king.

A boring and true fairy tale known to Bai Hua.

Ironically, the person who fought the demon king and ended the war, Baihua Arthur Doyle, although he did not become the demon king, was feared by his former comrades-in-arms and finally sealed.

This is also a helpless thing, after all, a brave man who can change the direction of the world with his individual strength and fame, and no one can balance it, anyone will be afraid of it.

Just being there is already upsetting the balance.

Bai Hua couldn't refute this.

However, if the demon king dies and the war ends, then his brave man retreats silently, which is not a good ending.

In this way, he slept in the seal until the end of his life.

This was the moment before the seal, everyone, including Bai Hua and the gods, thought.

It's a pity that the extremely wise demon king, as if he had already expected all this, gave Bai Hua, the brave man who killed him, the first and last gift and curse.

【Infinite Mana Chain Loop】

【Infinite Life Chain Cycle】

One, is the treasure that all those in power on the continent are longing for, the cause of the Hundred Years' War.

One is the Demon King of Wisdom, but he has studied it but has not dared to announce it, let alone use it.

The former, which allowed Bai Hua's power to increase by leaps and bounds, not only kept him awake in the seal, but also extended his magic power to observe the outside world.

The latter made Bai Hua get an immortal and immortal life form, so that his life is eternal, and he can't even commit suicide.

This is a treasure that others desire but cannot seek, but for Bai Hua, it is a real curse.

Observing the outside world while staying awake, watching the war start again, all his efforts turned into useless work, and those who once guarded turned out to be so fragile and ridiculous.

Looking at the kings of one country after another, they were furious because they couldn't find the [Infinite Magic Chain Loop Device] that the Demon King had studied, and even doubted each other and started a war.

As a bystander, Bai Hua watched everything happen, he was no longer a brave man, and he didn't even have the freedom to act.

"Why, why are you fighting for that ridiculous reason? Didn't you realize that the [Infinite Mana Chain Circulation Device] didn't exist at all? It's just a technique, and you can't find it! ”

However, no one could hear Bai Hua's voice.

He is imprisoned in a cage made up of the concept of 'gods', which cannot be counted as a real space.

No living being could hear him, not even the gods who weaved this cage.

From the very beginning, no one thought about setting him free, let alone writing a technique to break the seal.

In this way, Bai Hua stayed in the seal for ten years and watched it for ten years.

The ugly faces of those in high positions made Bai Hua feel disgust and remorse.

Hates himself for not being able to stop it, and regrets that he killed the demon king in the first place.

Weakness······

Even if he has the power to surpass the gods, he is so powerless.

"If the Demon King hadn't died, the continent should have been unified now, and the war would not have happened, right?"

This is a curse for those who kill Yu!

The Demon King's deathbed words echoed in Bai Hua's mind.

"Turning me into an immortal monster and watching the world go in a direction I don't want is the most vicious curse."

With a wry smile, Bai Hua reined in his magic and did something that didn't look like a brave man's actions and self-evasion.

There's no way around it, and if he looks at it any longer, he'll go crazy and impulsively break the cage.

Yes, the sublimated Bai Hua has enough strength to shatter the cage.

But he couldn't do that!

Breaking this cage represents the erasure of the concept of 'gods', and all gods will die.

The gods are the will born from the concept of the primordial origin when the world was first born, and the form of the spirit veins of the planet.

To kill a god is to erase a concept.

For example, if you kill the god of fire, the world will lose its fire and temperature, and everyone will be affected, except for powerful individuals who can ignore it, and there will be no heat, no cold.

Although, after a few years, the spirit vein will give birth to a new fire god, and the concept of temperature will return, but in a few years, most of the living beings in the world will perish.

This is also the reason why in the Hundred Years War, the Demon King had the ability and did not erase the gods.

"Trouble and foul play." Bai Hua smiled bitterly and shook his head, in addition to helplessness in his heart, he was still helpless.

"Perhaps, Asbro III is right, and I am the evil side."

The belief that had been held fast all along, collapsed.

"You're right, Asbro III, I regret it now, I'm repenting."

"However, why don't you use it for yourself when you obviously have the [Infinite Life Chain Cycle], in that case, even if I can't kill you, is it just to make me regret it?"

Bai Hua felt so sad about his situation.

He knew very well that the extremely wise demon king would not act angrily because of such a trivial matter.

But...

Why is that?

"Obviously, as long as it is used on himself, Asbro will be able to save his life, even if I stop it, I will be close to life in a few decades, and with his wisdom, I will be able to unify the continent."

This is the confusion that has haunted Bai Hua for ten years.

Unfortunately, no one will understand anyone's thoughts.

And the person concerned is dead and cannot answer.

"Perhaps, he had long expected that even if he used it, his ambition would be stopped by you, and in the end he would end up with the same fate as you."

A voice suddenly came into Bai Hua's ears.

“······ Who? ”

Bai Hua was surprised, and even sluggish.

Who can get to this cage of concepts?

The seal is absolutely perfect, and getting in here is impossible!

At least, in Bai Hua's cognition, no living creature can do it.

However······

The aura appeared in front of Bai Hua, gathering and transforming into a young man with long silver hair.

"You... You... Are you... One God!? ”

Bai Hua's eyes widened, and he suddenly recalled that the moment he got the title of 'brave', he suddenly appeared in front of him, and said with a smile, "As a brave, how can you not have matching equipment." "And gave three treasures, and called himself the 'one god' of the young man.

But after that, he never saw the One God again.

Even when I asked many gods, I got only one answer, "There are no such gods."

"You really exist?"

Bai Hua's face was full of incredulity, he once regarded this only god as an illusion of the past.

"Of course I exist, otherwise, how do you think the three artifacts got into your hands?" The only god chuckled angrily.

And Bai Hua looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes flashed, and he became emotional.

"You... You can come in, then you can go out, right? Take me out, please, the world needs me now! ”

"What an arrogant statement, you, who already regret killing the Demon King, dare to assert that the world needs you?" The only god looked at the former brave man with a smile.

"You're no longer a brave man, and you even regret being a brave man, aren't you?"

Bai Hua was silent, and then said sincerely: "I am no longer a brave, but I don't regret becoming a brave." Maybe the world doesn't need me now, but I want to do something for the world, even if this act is just my atonement. ”

Hearing this, the One God laughed heartily as if he had received the answer he wanted.

"Hahaha~, that's true, although as a brave man, you are far from being mature enough, but this hot feeling in your heart, I admit it, you have this qualification!"

"That... That is, I can go out? ”

The only god shook his head regretfully and said, "It's a pity that I don't have that ability. And, is it really good that you're out in your current state? Or do you want to repeat what you've done before? ”

"No, it won't, I'll make the right choice!"

"The right choice? What's that, like the Demon King, dominates the world? ”

The only god smiled lightly and said: "Don't always focus on the world, that will make your vision narrow, the so-called 'brave' and 'good' are actually the same, but it's just a different name."

It's all about protecting and helping, and you're always obsessed with saving the world because of the title of 'brave', but you've never learned how to start from small things like a good person. ”

"I..."

Bai Hua was dumbfounded, he had a very high talent, although his experience was not with the wind, but the acquisition of strength was too simple, and because of this, the first time he helped others, he saved a town, and he really didn't go out of his way to help someone.

"So, you're so ambitious, how about trying to learn to save someone first?"

“··· How to save? ”

The One God smiled happily, he knew that this 'brave man' had listened.

"I will give you another gift, and with it, I believe you will understand the meaning of salvation."

With that, the One God turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait!"

"Anything else?"

"Your name, at least tell me the name of your benefactor, right?" Bai Hua looked at the One God deeply, as if he wanted to engrave his face in his mind and repay his kindness in the future.

In this regard, the One God smiled disapprehantly: "You know, the One God." ”

"That's not a name, it's just a title, right?!"

The corners of the only god's mouth twitched, and then a cunning flashed in his eyes, and he said a little mischievously: "300!" Number, 300. You can call me that. ”

The voice fell, and the figure of the silver-white boy exploded improvishly, turning into spiritual light and dissipating into the concept.

"Isn't that completely unanswered······" Bai Hua smiled bitterly.

The cage of concepts fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

This couldn't help but make Bai Hua suspect that everything before was an illusion caused by his insanity after staying in this lonely environment for a long time.

Then, a mechanical voice proved the truth of everything.

"Procedural Activation - Source Confirmation - Salvation."

The mechanical emotionless coldness, and even some chaotic voices sounded in Bai Hua's head.

"Confirm that the host, the semi-magical lifeform, Baihua Arthur Doyle, is bound to the machine."

"The only mission of this machine is confirmed - to help the host find the meaning of salvation."

"The host's only mission has been confirmed - to respond to the heavens' wish for salvation."

"The program is activated, and the [Salvation System] awakens."

After a short pause, Bai Hua immediately came to his senses, although he didn't understand what the [Redemption System] was, but thinking about it, it should be a magic system like [Infinite Mana/Life Chain Cycle].

"This is what was given to me, something that made me understand the meaning of salvation?"

But, a technique, how to get Bai Hua out of the cage to respond to the wish of redemption?

"It hurts, it hurts, I have to open my body every day, it's so strange like this, I don't want this, I want to live like a human being."

The ethereal and somewhat trembling voice, just by hearing it, one can imagine the pain endured by the owner of the voice.

This is a wish, a wish from another world.

So, Bai Hua responded.

"Although it is a prisoner who keeps failing, and in the end even glory and freedom are lost, an unqualified brave, but if you don't mind, I will grant your wish."

“······”

"Declare, your body is entrusted to my command, and my fate is attached to your sword······"
