Chapter 136 The Day of Parting, the Inscription of Commandments

"Actually, I am not Aponya, let alone a so-called god, but a human from other parallel worlds, an ordinary human. Even if I don't give you knowledge, I believe that human civilization will one day To be able to reach this height today, human beings do not need the gift of gods, they do not need the mercy of gods, and they do not need gods. Every step forward in civilization is made by human beings themselves."

Rita wrote the last paragraph and checked it carefully again. After confirming that it was correct, she solemnly handed the last "holy book" to Aponya.

Aponia put it into a special golden "box", closed it, and set it to open automatically after 1,500 years.

The afternoon was quiet and peaceful. A group of white pigeons outside the window were flying all over the sky in response to the ringing of the bells. The sunlight poured in through the long windows of the cathedral, reflecting the colorful brilliance on the clean floors and walls, making it seem colorful and gorgeous. , the bizarre life welcomes the return of the girls on the road ahead.

In the cathedral, which is usually crowded with people, the doors and windows are closed at this time. There are only Aponya and others, so it looks empty. The girls, dressed in neat combat uniforms, are sitting on rows of benches, silently He watched every move of Lord Aponnia.

Today is the day for them to go home, and it is also the day for Aponya to fight alone.

The Honkai energy in their bodies was abundant, the stigmata was re-activated, their strength was restored, and even "reached a higher level". However, the expressions of the girls were more solemn than before, and Xi'er's face was full of... Showing uneasy emotions, she has the closest relationship with Mama Aponya.

The surrounding environment is obviously very empty, but the atmosphere is as heavy as sitting in deep water, making people breathless.

"Lord Apponia, we can help you fight, we are very strong now." Kiana said, who really couldn't bear it.

She originally wanted to roll up her sleeves and show off her "strong" arms and muscles to people, but after thinking about it, she felt that her little arms were too thin and exposing her breasts was a bit immoral, so she decided not to Bar.

"No need, this is a matter between me and myself." Aponya's voice was still calm, soft and reassuring, "I will send you back. You have worked hard over the past year, thank you very much."

Aponia bowed to the people.

"Hey, you, please don't say that. Aren't you, Kallen and Little Rita the ones who have the hardest time?" Kiana scratched her head, with her usual silly smile on her face, and said in a brisk tone, " If it weren't for your care, maybe we wouldn't be able to hold on... It would be difficult to move forward. In fact, on the first day I came to this terrible place, I wanted to retreat and go home to enjoy it, but I see that you are all gritting your teeth and persisting. No one I said, 'I want to go home and look for my mother.' I was too embarrassed to say go back. How embarrassing! I didn't expect that now, I feel a little reluctant to leave here. People are really strange."

Kiana's words relaxed the ice-like atmosphere a lot. In fact, many people wanted to give up and say "go back" at first. The "medieval life" without Honkai energy is simply too torture for "modern people" However, until now, no one has come forward and spoken out about going home. Perhaps Kiana's thoughts are also one of the reasons.

"If you can't bear to leave and want to come back to see me again in the future, you can come to me." Aponya smiled softly, "It will be much easier to come here next time than this time."

She knew that the probability of this happening was low. After she returned, the girls gathered together at the moment dispersed. They had their own colorful lives, and they happened to meet each other and could sit together to have a meal and chat. , it would be good to contact the feelings that we have lived together. The next time we want to get together and come here together, I don’t know what year or month it will be.

Moreover, she may not be able to go back alive.

However, Aponya still made an illusory promise, and this promise also made the girls present feel a lot of peace of mind.

According to Lady Aponya, there should be no problem with her safety.

"Then it's time to say it, Mother Aponya." Xi'er plucked up the rare courage and said in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's agreed."

Apponia heard it, she turned her head, smiled and nodded to her favorite child.

"It's getting late. Let me send you back. After you go back, there will be a more important battle waiting for you, and that battle will determine the future destiny of mankind and the height of civilization. I believe you will Able to achieve final victory.”

"What?! What fight?!"

Kallen was stunned. As the current patriarch of the Kaslana family, how come she hadn't heard anything about it?

This shouldn't be the case! It’s unscientific! She is the head of the Kaslana family! The most powerful Valkyrie!

Aponya smiled and did not explain anything. She took out a second divine key similar to a "door", and then took out three silver-white keys and inserted them into the upper, middle and lower keyholes in turn. This opened the "gate of time and space" leading to the main world bubble.

In this world, even the Herrscher of the Sky cannot contact the "outside world", but this "door" does it.

In a moment,

After the girls hugged her one by one and left the place one after another, only one person was left standing in the empty church, which seemed even more empty.

"Why……"

Aponya sighed softly, put away the Second God Key, then adjusted his condition, raised his head, and looked into the sky through the shocking dome of St. Gemus Cathedral. It can also be seen with the naked eye during the day

The bright moon arrived.

Immediately, her dull blue eyes instantly turned blood red, full of oppression. She looked scarier than a thousand tribulations and could definitely scare a child to tears.

Apponia's body is "rising", like a disembodied ghost, passing through the dome of the cathedral and floating towards the moon.

On the ground, all the believers who saw this scene knelt down, and some even cried bitterly. Their god had finally left, leaving behind the "truth" and correct teachings, and returned to the divine realm.

It was devastated and lifeless. When we came to the moon, we seemed to have entered a world without life activities.

There is indeed no life activity on the moon, and this is not the moon, but a "collapse star" and an "imaginary star".

The familiar white moonlight that people see on the ground is just a phantom that happens to block the "reality".

Since arriving on the "moon", Aponya has felt that the "eyes" secretly watched by "people" have become stronger.

Ever since she came to this world, this voyeuristic "gaze" has always been with her. It has no kindness or malice, but it always urges her to leave.

This is the gaze from the "will of the world", the gaze from the once and truly Aponnia.

Aponya followed the "will of the world" and his own guidance, and came to the dark side of the "moon" and came to an ancient and magnificent architectural palace.

Without hesitation, Aponya gently opened the dusty door, carried an "ordinary" lantern that Wutong had used, and floated into the dim palace.

The surrounding darkness was like thick ink, and in the long and seemingly endless corridor, there seemed to be only one lantern floating in the air, moving forward steadily.

Finally, I don’t know how long time passed, and the darkness in front of me became darker and more vast. Even the light emitted by the lantern could not illuminate the nearby walls. The light dispersed farther away, but it seemed to be trapped in a "swamp." , was swallowed up, sunk, and disappeared.

Aponya came to the "hall", but there was nothing on the decaying throne. She was the only one in the dead darkness. It seemed that she was the only one in the world.

However, Aponya knew that he was "sitting" there, "sitting" in any corner of the world.

"..."

There seemed to be a long silence.

Aponya shook his head, as if in response to what someone said: "I will not go back. The purpose of my coming here is to redeem you."

"..."

There was another moment of silence.

"I know that our arrival and our promotion of civilization have brought a huge burden to you. I am deeply sorry for this. Therefore, I have chosen to come here at this moment to bear and carry it with you."

In the palace where there was only one person, Aponya, carrying a lantern, seemed to be whispering to himself.

"..."

"There is no need to use such words to persuade me to leave. You are not a loser, and I am not a representative of success and future hope."

"..."

Aponya listened very carefully, then sighed, and said calmly and softly: "I don't agree with your point of view. Of course, human civilization without collapse is also not beautiful, and is also on the road to 'death' On the road. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, frequent wars... have brought about people's livelihood and family destruction, destroying the light of civilization.

"But the reincarnation of all things continues like this, endlessly. After the disaster, it is the spring of the dead tree, the rebirth of Nirvana, the awakening of the mind, and the progress of civilization. Progress means moving forward, but it does not mean that it is moving towards' Death', but 'survival from death'.

"In a collapsing world, human beings will not be knocked down. Without a collapsing civilization, human beings are still strong. The road of life is never smooth, and the road of civilization is even more 'thorny', but that does not mean that we cannot 'overcome the thorns'."

"..."

"..."

Aponya was silent for a while, nodded slowly, and said softly: "Yes, you are right, I do not deny that some human beings are cruel, bad, ignorant, and ignorant in nature.

"Kind people are often not treated well by the world. The more selfish, unprincipled, and those who like to do evil, the better off they are. This is the reality of the world under the beautiful 'appearance' that is whitewashed, but it is also the 'sand tower' under the reality. , it will collapse when touched.

"Kindness does not mean weak, and bad people do not mean strong. There are always strong good people, and there are many of them. It is these seemingly ordinary strong people who maintain and protect the fragile but strong civilization.

“Without them, civilization cannot be called civilization.

"No matter how dense the darkness is, there are stars twinkling. This is the real hope of civilization. Even if we are no longer around, and the descendants do not have the guidance of their predecessors, mankind is not hopeless and can only reach its end. No matter in which era, No civilization is short of true heroes.

“I like children, they are the starting point and hope, but I don’t hate adults because they are the pillars and pillars.

"This is the complex human beings and the contradictory civilization in my eyes."

"..."

Aponya pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think my view is too naive. I just came out of numbness. I believe that the same is true for you and has never changed. Otherwise, why would you, who say you are disappointed, Carrying such pressure, persist until now?

“A civilization that has not experienced collapse does not mean that it has failed. It is still growing, and miracles may happen.

"us

In his eyes, no matter which world or civilization it is, it is full of hopeless bad people and evil deeds, but there are also traces of good people and good deeds, and more often, ordinary people and ordinary people. These are They are all living beings.

"Alicia lets us know that human beings can escape from their destiny, and Wutong shows us that civilization can defeat the possibility of collapse.

"You and I are both ordinary people. Wutong and Aili are different from us. They may not be ordinary, but no matter how special they are, they all come from the ordinary. The ordinary creates miracles, and miracles are born from the ordinary. You and I can naturally create them together. A miracle of civilization."

"..."

"No need to persuade me any more, I have made up my mind. The commandments are used to protect everyone, including you and ourselves.

“The difference between good and evil lies in discipline. Kind people can restrain their desire to do evil. The key to success and failure also lies in discipline. Successful people can draw nutrients from failure, pay attention to details, stick to themselves, and persevere. .

"Successful and kind people are great because they can restrain themselves and stick to the precepts and beliefs in their hearts. But I hope that one day, restraint will no longer be painful for people and will no longer discourage good people. Cold, hurt people's body, mind and family. I hope that success and kindness will no longer be the greatness in the "silt", but the ordinaryness in the beauty.

"To this end, like you, I will spare no effort, do my best, dedicate everything I have, and protect the world with you. Even though life is full of fog, the road ahead is bumpy, windy and windy, and may even be beyond redemption, I I will still choose to go against the wind, persevere, protect the dreams of everyone and you and me, and face the vicissitudes of life with gentleness and smile.

"This is the inscription of the commandments."

Aponya's tone is still calm and her voice is still soft. This is her long-standing habit of treating people with gentleness and not scaring others.

The flames in the lantern were burning steadily, burning along the lantern, igniting Apponia's delicate and soft fingertips, igniting Apponia's soft and plump body, and igniting the darkness like ink.

The light reappears in the darkness, and the dark night recedes under the flames.

The only enemy of the commandments is yourself. Adhering to the commandments also means always fighting against yourself.

The commandments protect everyone, including yourself.

In the blooming flame, the former consciousness was completely awakened and he found himself again.

"Is it worth it?" asked a soft and melodious voice.

"It's worth it. I will redeem you, embrace and protect ourselves." An equally soft and melodious voice replied.
