When Cyrene's consciousness awoke from the darkness again, everything she could feel returned.

Limbs, breathing, pulse...

Also, the dry sandstorms.

Cyrene struggled to open her heavy eyes, and the only thing that greeted her was the endless desert, dotted with swaying moon flowers, and the scorching sunlight scorching her skin, and the real pain and burning were already visible.

There is no war and mourning in the sky, and there is no explosion of the Angel of Death.

Clearly, this is no longer the perfect city.

Looking at his intact body, Cyrene was a little dazed.

The whispers in the hazy consciousness seem to still linger in my ears, and the endless knowledge and truth contained in them are still tearing apart my brain.

She couldn't believe that something so incomprehensible had happened to her, like a real miracle...

"I... Really reborn...? ”

She murmured.

There was no longer a hazy voice echoing to answer her question, but the real touch accurately reciprocated Cyrene's doubts.

She was indeed given a second life.

Instead of being turned into meaningless wind and sand as a nameless corpse in the ruins of the City of Perfection, he was blessed by the gods and given a second life and chance.

"You're finally awake."

In a trance, a middle-aged man wearing a cloak suddenly appeared in Cyrene's sight.

A few wrinkles show his age, the fierceness in his eyes indicates his danger, and the darkness under the cloak seems to hide many secrets.

【Eternals】

Suddenly, the moment he saw the old man, Cyrene's brain came up with such words.

Immediately after that, endless knowledge and secrets burst out, with the past and future of the 'Eternal', with the 'Esoteric Religion' closely related to him, and even some knowledge about the Lord of Mankind, and his prime minister Machado...

Like the stars unfolding in front of Cyrene's eyes in an instant, the vast galaxy blooms with magnificent beauty, and the infinite knowledge contained in it is enough to drive every scholar crazy.

Needless to say, it's a miracle.

A miracle bestowed by the gods.

If any psychic person saw the mortal girl's current appearance, they would see pale blue bird feathers and scales looming over her body.

Of course, all the girl's thoughts only happened for a moment, and in the eyes of the old man, Cyrene was only a little dull for a moment.

"It seems... Your consciousness is not clear enough. ”

Looking at Cyrene's slightly stunned appearance, the old man slowly got up, handed a pot of water to the girl, and slowly began to introduce himself.

"Introduce myself, my name is Damon Pletanis, an esoteric agent, an eternal, the oldest assassin in human history, and a guide to history."

After Damon introduced himself, Cyrene seemed to come back to his senses and took the kettle handed by Damon.

But she didn't drink, just quietly listened to the old man in front of her tell stories about herself.

"And you, Cyrene... You once lived in a religious city called 'Kur', which the Empire of Man named the 'City of Perfection', a city created and destroyed by the Whisperers. ”

"You will be the blessed lady of destiny, and you will be the new hand of destiny... So, I saved you from that city, and now, not just that city, but the whole world has been completely destroyed by the whirlwind torpedo bombardment of the Bearers. ”

"You're the only survivor, but you're not, because there are no survivors in that world, and you've died under the fire of the Whisperers."

"Don't be confused... You are indeed dead, but your identity and destiny have led me to find you, child. ”

"You, Cyrene, are an eternal."

"You don't deserve to die, and you don't deserve to end your fate on a lava planet that has completely died."

"So, I got you out... And activates your Eternal's Constitution. ”

"Here, it's the mother planet of the Bearers, Colchis."

At this point, Damon pointed around Cyrene: it was dozens of dried human bones, surrounded by Cyrene's body, and judging from the bloody handprints on the ground and the runic circles that had gradually weathered and dissipated, Cyrene's second life was not without a corresponding price.

Immediately afterward, Damon continued with a serious expression.

"Cyrene, I don't know what you think about all this, but I need to remind you that whenever and where... You are a human being, not some other creature. ”

"As your consciousness gradually awakens... You might be able to faintly hear some strange sounds or images, or some large presence—"

"I warn you solemnly, child."

"Even though you've been given a second life and a chance, no matter when... None of us should believe Their Word or trust Their existence. ”

"You just need to know that this time there is a price to pay for our lives, and we will all serve an ancient organization in the future, Esoteric Buddhism."

"Empires and emperors have abandoned you, the perfect city of the past has been burned, and the family and loved ones you love have been burned... I will not stop you from taking revenge on the Empire, but you must first repay the 'responsibility' that comes with this rebirth. ”

"In the Esoteric Sect, we need immortal people with unique constitutions like you, and people who carry the key to a strange fate like you... Wherever and whenever we want, we will strive for a greater future for the galaxy. ”

Cyrene nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Damon's words.

"I see, sir."

"I can't thank you enough for giving me a second life..."

"This is my second chance... I don't know what I can do yet, but I'm here to repay you with all my might. ”

She slowly unscrewed the kettle and drank the first drop of water, a symbol of new life, and a sign that she had fully accepted the situation.

"Hmm..."

As he slowly explained everything, Damon was always thinking about the newborn blessed lady in front of him.

Confusion, anger, sadness, madness, until all emotions turn into perseverance.

Damon saw everything he wanted in the girl's pupils, which also proved that he had not chosen the wrong person.

In Cyrene's resolute pupils, Damon could not see any confusion, as if in a brief explanation, all traces of her mortal past had been completely erased at this moment, and even cowardice and confusion had vanished.

It seems that death is indeed capable of giving a person a new lease of life.

"Keep up, we have more important work to do."

Damon said, slowly turning away.

However, at an angle that Damon couldn't see, Cyrene put down the kettle.

A faint blue glow flashed in the pupils of the blessed lady.

She listened to everything Damon said with relish from beginning to end, and the vast amount of chaotic knowledge in her brain could correspond to the words of the esoteric agent in front of her one by one, and some kind of inexplicable pleasure of truth and mystery solving came to the girl's mind at this moment.

For a long time.

……

……

Life and death!
