452 Self-Deprecation

"What if I say no? But that's not important to you, is it? Johanna."

Because of Prius's confiding tone, Johanna was stunned for a moment, and her expression became strange at this time.

Does the answer matter?

Maybe it doesn't matter.

Whether it is as a Crusader or simply as Johanna as an individual, this answer is not very important.

The truth is something else, so that’s it.

Johanna had never been obsessed with these things.

She turned her head and looked at Steve and Peggy Carter beside her. After making sure that they were safe, she moved her eyes back to the direction of Imperial.

The expression on his face was as expected from his clothes.

Because at this time, Imprius had disappeared from where it was.

Judging from the smell of blood that still remained, he seemed to have gone directly upwards.

But Johanna just raised her eyes and glanced at the high-level heaven gate that seemed to be completely hidden.

"It's not there, where did he go?" Johanna muttered softly.

"Well, Ms. Johanna! I think we have a lot of things to talk about."

Spider-Man carefully avoided the lava that had not cooled down on the ground and walked to Johanna and said.

Although he was still wearing a hood, at least it sounded like he was serious.

The movements along the way looked like a nimble cat, but such movements on a guy wearing tights would definitely not be called cute.

"What's wrong with you, Spider-Man?"

Johanna's tone returned to calmness. Despite her chatty nature, she still somewhat admired Spider-Man.

A strong man who is beyond the scope of human beings, but he has not separated himself from the society of ordinary people.

A commendable lifestyle, self-discipline, etc. seem to be inappropriate to describe such a person.

This approach made a good impression on the Crusaders, so Johanna even removed some of the metal roses everywhere so that Spider-Man would be less nervous. .

Although Spider-Man has powerful physical power in his body, he doesn't know why he doesn't seem to have enough defense to match this power.

What's more important is that Johanna felt a little bit of a not-so-good aura from Spider-Man, which was a bit like the feeling exuded by Alanya, the Spider Queen. ①

"That archangel, I mean Imprius. What does he want from humans?"

Spider-Man seemed to have spent a lot of energy to muster up the courage when he asked this question.

Something strange.

Wherever the Prius appears, people tend to become a little impulsive.

That's the effect of courage that spreads everywhere.

It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between courage and impulse, but this is the first time Johanna has seen a fearful guy like Spider-Man.

Although Spider-Man's injuries have recovered under the power of the Law of Hope, the lost energy will not be recovered at the same time.

But he said it very stubbornly, which reminded Johanna of some past stories.

"Why did you choose to ask me? If you want an answer to such a question, you shouldn't have come to me."

"I'm human and so are you."

Facing Spider-Man's statement, Johanna didn't know how to answer for a while.

There are various distinctions under the broad category of "human beings".

Some are distinguished by occupation, and some are distinguished by income. The best is based on moral style, and the worst is emphasizing the difference.

But these methods of distinction are not that important. What is important is whether humans like the Nephalem and humans on this planet are the same species. Even Bulcaisel may not be able to give an accurate explanation.

People and "people" are really different.

"He brings courage."

Johanna said slowly after hesitating for a long time.

But that’s all I can say.

If courage wants to be pure, it must first experience fear, and the deepest fear can only be pure at the moment when courage is eliminated and hope is shattered.

The arrival of the plague king has given these people a microcosm of the terrifying future they can see.

The despair experienced by these superheroes when facing the King of Epidemic is a true reflection of ordinary people facing the always-sinking demon.

Human beings here are in trouble, and Johanna hopes they can live well.

…

Leiko finally returned to the Holy Mountain of Harrogas, and bumped into Matthew and Casillas who had returned from the secret realm earlier.

Kanuk was not far away, looking at Leiko in front of him with very calm eyes.

"Have you figured it out?"

Kanuk said this while looking up and down at Leiko's outfit.

When he saw the new legend born from his legend on Leiko's shoulders, he let out a long breath.

"No!"

Leiko said coldly.

He turned his back to Kanuk and walked towards the "den" of the three ancestors.

Now she has no idea of ​​saying anything to Kanuk. The only time she can do it is to find the guy who knows about Madoc's methods and ask for clarification.

Ask Madoc what he thinks!

Do you think she is not qualified to protect everything on Shengshan Mountain? Or are you dissatisfied with Leiko taking over Volusk's responsibilities?

Leiko couldn't accept such a result after just leaving for a short period of time.

"Leiko, there are some things I won't say."

Canuk said without giving in.

His eyes were serious and earnest.

"Then shut up!"

An answer without mercy.

But Canuk seemed to have not heard it.

"I will obey all of Leiko's will, but Leiko, are you the same person as before?"

Canuk still kept a "proper" distance from Leiko.

But at this time, he was talking like a growl.

"I'm sorry for Jorez's death, but I wish I could die in his place!

But I know that I can't do anything that Jorez can do for you."

Canuk now seemed to be a bit chattering and annoying.

And there was no intention of quieting down.

"But I am the chief, because I can tell who is more important between you and the rest of you.

Jorez has gone crazy, and he has taken on things that his shoulders can't bear.

He even dug up the pillars, just for you..."

"I said! Shut up!"

Leiko finally turned around and faced Canuk.

She never liked men who kept talking, and she hated those who talked more than they did.

The original Canuk was not like this. He would just do things silently, instead of blocking her side and talking non-stop like now.

"Leiko, know yourself!"

A cold light flashed in Canuk's eyes.

But the pleading in her eyes made Reiko dazed for a moment.

"There is nothing that barbarians can't do, because too many people have done it before."

The tone of Reiko's speech softened a little, but the aura full of majesty and arrogance also locked onto Canuk.

"Fate can no longer control me now, just like you who are dead can no longer watch me from the corner forever.

When I die again and appear on the Holy Mountain as the spirit of the ancestors again, I will no longer be the same as you remember me.

At that time, you will be disappointed and then depressed a little bit.

The most important thing is that you can't use a grand finale to bid farewell to yourself like Madoc did.

You are the spirit of the ancestors, and Madoc is the gatekeeper."

As Leiko spoke, she quickened her pace.

When the last sentence fell, Leiko had disappeared from Kanuk's sight.

Kanuk stood there and waited for a long time...

"The original Holy Mountain was not like this."

This sentence was said in an extremely depressed way.

"The bull still has a living person, and so does the bear. But both can only continue their bloodline, and it is impossible to pass on the name of the tribe.

The storm has stopped, and Tagus has no future.

The only one who can see the future now is the stag..."

Olongus slowly walked out from behind a big rock, and patted Canuk's back gently.

"How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? Don't stand behind the bull, because the hoof will also leave a deep impression on you!"

As Canuk said this, his forehead hit Orlongus's face directly.

This was enough to break the other's nose.

"Pah!"

Canuk spit out a tooth, and then roughly pulled up his collapsed nose.

"You are a dead man, your heart has stopped beating for a long time. I really don't know why you think what you do is love?"

Olongus sneered at Canuk's behavior.

Madoc's disappearance is no longer a secret, but the time for back pain has not been cruelly taken away.

There is still this time.

"I never said it was love. Maybe it was longing, maybe it was possessiveness. Or maybe I felt that I was stronger than Jorez, and I just wanted to prove it."

Kanuk turned his face away, and the breath of his soul weakened a lot at this moment.

For an ancestor spirit who still hopes to continue to exist, the only thing to pay attention to is to remain stubborn and persistent.

Seeing through and letting go of such emotions means that they have finally become part of the Holy Mountain and no longer need to consider other things.

This is an unspoken sacrifice, but for so many years, no one has questioned this except for that idiot Nilasek.

"Stay angry? Who has such a big temper to be angry all day? Ha!"

Olongus stopped talking to Kanuk. This sentence was more like a mockery of himself.

Anger is a very physically demanding emotion. The body will become excited as the blood flow rate brought by anger increases.

But the main thing is action, then you will definitely feel tired.

Olongus was tired a long time ago.

Constantly generate anger, and then throw all the roars through the Ancient Spear.

Such an experience is simply not something a normal person can bear.

Fortunately, people living in Sanctuary are not very normal.

"Unless you are like Bul-Kathos, with nerves of steel?"

Orlongus shook his head and smiled.
