Chapter 523 Destiny

802

"It became a mystery as soon as I woke up...It was equivalent to me dying without knowing anything."

Klein couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Bethel wanted to take a look at him, but then remembered that their consciousnesses were now in the same body, so he kept his movements and asked casually: "Do you regret it? Do you really want to die like that? But that is indeed the case. A perfect way to die, humans are afraid of death."

"The God of Death is worshiped precisely because his existence gives death an end and becomes the real 'end'."

Human beings are always afraid of unknown things, and the God of Death is tantamount to giving people a longing for the afterlife. At this point, the same is true of the promise given to humans by the Seven Gods that "the devout will enter the Kingdom of God and be with God after death." Whether it is the God of Death or the Seven Gods, death has changed from unknowable to knowable. People still have inevitable fear when facing death, but they also have spiritual sustenance and stability.

The God of Death is even better in this regard. A country where the living and the dead live together minimizes the horror of death.

But "death" itself is still worthy of awe. Dying in a dream is considered the most perfect death, and going to God without pain. These images are similar to "Cline Moretti Wrapped in a Curtain" "Completely in line.

When Klein heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, with a smile on his face:

"I did think about it this way. When I was chased by the gods and died because of the 'Origin Castle', and had to bear this fate that I didn't want at all, I also thought about death and whether it would be better to die. good."

"Before I was a demigod, I thought about dying, but I didn't do it because I thought 'maybe I could go home' and wanted revenge."

"After becoming a demigod, when I realized that I could never return home, I thought about giving the 'Origin Castle' and destiny to others, so that someone better than me and more suitable to protect the world could obtain this position... …”

Having said this, Klein paused for a moment and spoke seriously:

"Mr. Bethel, if you had appeared when I had just become a demigod and my great revenge had been avenged, at that time I would really have been able to hand over the Origin Castle to you and the hope of the True Creator, and then I just got away and returned to my brother and sister. Even if I couldn't go home, I could stay with them in another capacity and protect their safety. - This is what I really thought about."

After saying this long paragraph in one breath, Klein was suddenly stunned.

He hadn't thought about this for a long time.

This should have been what he valued most, but the war between gods, the future, how to win, how to survive, how to defeat Amon, how to recapture Origin Castle, these greater and more important things occupied his thinking. The topic of love between children should not be discussed during the current period of being hunted, but Bethel did not speak, did not refute or interrupt, and seemed to be intending to be a listener.

Probably because Klein hesitated for a little too long, Bethel spoke lazily:

"Say it."

"It won't waste a few minutes, and it will help you maintain your humanity and self. If you don't recall it now, you might not have the chance soon."

Although this sentence was harsh and somewhat sarcastic, Klein relaxed and became a little happier.

"In the beginning, my brother and sister and I lived in Tingen. It was a big city and we were small people living in it."

The prosperity and beauty have nothing to do with the Moretti family who have to live in an old apartment and may enter the lower streets at any time.

Klein decided not to talk about being a "remnant of the old days" because Bethel didn't seem to know about it and didn't mention it.

So he simply started to talk about his past and his beginning as "Cline Moretti", as if this young man was still alive in this world.

"At that time, the mornings were always noisy and noisy. A large number of citizens left their homes and hurried to factories and companies. Mobile vendors gathered on the streets, selling vegetables, cooked food and fruits of uncertain quality. They were always very busy. Cheap."

"I would protect my wallet, squeeze carefully through them, go to the station, and wait with many others for the public carriage."

"I originally applied for a job as a lecturer at the university where I graduated. However, my life plan was disrupted because of Source Castle. Because of extraordinary events, I became an Extraordinary of the Church of the Night. I work at the 'Black Night Church' at No. 36 Zotland Street in this city. Thorn Security', a great group of colleagues.”

"I think from time to time that if what happened later had not happened, if Yuanbao had not selected me, I would still be living in Tingen and might become a lecturer at Tingen University. My grades are pretty good - I go to work on time every day. I work in shifts, assist professors in assigning homework, prepare for exams, play cards with colleagues, and accompany Melissa and Benson to theater or circus performances from time to time. If I can go home early one day, I study food. This is my hobby. A big hobby. Wait until the weekend, I may come to visit professors I am familiar with and discuss with them..."

Klein's expression softened involuntarily, and he was filled with emotion when he thought of those beautiful memories.

The last time he saw Melissa was actually just half a year ago, when he had just killed Ince Zangwill and had successfully taken revenge. After that, he couldn't wait to go to Backlund and meet Melissa.

I just entered school and was chatting and laughing with my classmates. At Backlund Technical University, she could freely learn the knowledge she desired most.

"I imagined a lot of possibilities."

At that time, it had not been long since I finished my adventure at sea, and I still loved the local delicacies... I once thought that even if I couldn't return to Benson and Melissa, I could open a bakery in Backlund. Or a dessert shop selling Melissa's favorite lemon cake and other flavored foods, with your own marionette as the clerk and chef.

During the time when the True Creator asked him to think about it, Klein did not think about so many grand and long-term things.

He was thinking about his future. Since he can't go back, he should plan a future that belongs to Klein Moretti.

He even carefully walked back and forth twice on the street where Benson and Melissa lived, trying to use divination to select the most suitable store.

"But life always pushes me forward, whether it's fate or my own will, I finally chose this path."

Klein exhaled and said very bluntly:

"At first, I just wanted to repay the favor and fulfill my promise, but then I gradually realized that there was a lot more I wanted to do and needed to do. For myself and for the people I want to protect, I need more strength. … On this road, I have received help from many people and have also shouldered the expectations of many people. Until now, I cannot retreat and I don’t want to retreat anymore.”

"You are right. Every time I think of the possibility of 'die without knowing anything', I feel regret and expectation."

"But that's not the end for me."

When I decided to continue moving along this road, I already knew that what I had to face was the danger of death and endless time, and what I had to face was myself sealed in the amber of divinity. I could no longer look like myself. An ordinary person or a demigod spends his life peacefully, and finally enters eternal sleep with satisfaction surrounded by important people and crying... The quiet land behind the church has long been no longer his destination.

His mood was relieved and a little sad, and Bethel once again clearly felt the difference in Klein Moretti.

"...It seems that Source Castle was like a burden to you before."

Bethel made no comment on Klein’s idea and just said coldly:

"If you want to give up, just leave it to me as soon as possible."

Klein then said sincerely:

"Mr. Bethel, if I die before I succeed, then I hope that you will take over the Origin Castle and the position of the Lord of Mysteries."

"Until then, I hope you can help me protect my brother and sister. Their names are Benson and Melissa."

Sincerity is the biggest killer. Klein's mood swings clearly told Bethel that he wasn't lying and really thought so. Faced with such sincere words, Bethel didn't know what to say, so she told the truth:

"I will."

…

Amon keenly felt an unexpected mystical connection, which forced him to separate his spirit while fighting with the remaining spirit of the God of Thunder.

——Because this occult connection is too difficult to ignore, it is like an electric drill, making a dangerous buzzing sound against your temple, and there are signs of continuous advancement, resonating with a premonition of crisis, It seems like it will get into your head right away.

Amon stole distance, deceived space, grafted his own position, and struggled left and right in the thunderstorm without blind spots, trying his best to reduce his injuries. Fortunately, he ran fast in the fog of history, otherwise he would have been listed long ago. Audro sent in the power and slapped him to death. In the midst of his busy schedule, Amon looked at the mysterious connection that suddenly appeared... and saw the alien god that he was not familiar with but often saw standing in his spiritual intuition. Edward noticed that Amon came from Source Castle. He looked at him and said hello to him.

"Angel of Time" was spiritually shaken. He didn't know that more than a year ago, "The Fool" on Source Castle also experienced the same kind of inner shock. He was keenly aware that this might be an opportunity. A man who could learn from Leod A chance to escape from Luo's hands.

As for the monocle that Edward wore on his right eye socket, Amon just glanced at it and stopped paying attention, and he didn't think it looked familiar.

Because it was too weird, too fancy, and completely inconsistent with His aesthetics.

Edward pinched his right eye socket and asked without any anxiety: "Is the God of Thunder still chasing you?"

boom!

A bolt of lightning struck Amon, and his monocle cracked with an undetectable crack.

This crack was more powerful than any words. Amon said nothing, and Edward pursed his lips to prevent himself from laughing directly: "Have you noticed the changes in Origin Castle? Antigonus is about to Wake up from your deep sleep. If you are willing to steal His godhood ceremony, you can recite my honorable name and I will rescue you from the hands of the God of Thunder."

Stealing the rite of becoming a god from the current Antigonus?

Amon, who has been being chased and beaten by Leodro and is about to reach the fourth era, really doesn't care whether Source Castle has responded to other high-sequences behind his back, but Antigonus - the mystery of that guy Isn't the master's consciousness about to recover? Not to mention whether there was a ceremony to become a god, but if he really stole it, would those ancient wills be awakened in his body?

That would be much scarier than being chased and beaten by Leodro!

As long as you can escape to the Fourth Age...with the help of the historical projection of Alistar or Solomon, you still have a chance to escape.

However, if you take a gamble, you might be able to become a dual-path true god——

Amon fell into hesitation.

He had never encountered such a dangerous choice, but his spiritual intuition told him that this was a high probability that he could successfully become a god.

Do you want to agree... The mysterious will in Antigonus has been revived to a great extent... Can I really succeed? ...I finally got rid of Klein's fate, and I want to take the initiative to steal the mysterious will. Isn't this more hateful than fate... If I fail, then Antigonus will become a dual-path true god. Yet? ... Could the Outer God have a conspiracy... Hasn’t the Lord of Mysteries awakened?

boom!

There was another small crack on Amon's monocle. He frowned and sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still couldn't make a choice.

In the end, He replaced answers with actions.

Amon broke off the occult communication with Edward and ran straight towards the historical fog of the Fourth Age.

…

Edward felt the disconnection of his spirituality. He regretfully took off his monocle, rewrapped it and put it in his arms. Then he smiled at the Demon of Knowledge in a tone that meant he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously:

"The boy gave up."

"What a pity. Then he probably lost his only chance to become a god."

The Demon of Knowledge was calm and unfazed. He had two mysterious candidates on hand, and both had negotiated terms with him. Moreover, Amon's reaction seemed to be within his expectation - or prediction. So, He pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes.

After a while, the Demon of Knowledge opened his eyes and said:

"There is no need to give your secret attendant to Antigonus. He can hardly communicate when he wakes up. Although I like the feeling of some unexpected situations in the plan, I don't want the final situation to be out of my control. "

"You prophesied with the power of the wilderness?"

"Yes. If time is not urgent, I would even like you to contact your half body to see the 'possibilities' in His eyes before making a plan." The Demon of Knowledge said the next words lightly, "There is no need to read it now .”

He felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky. He saw something approaching at high speed from the direction of the Eastern Continent - it was a demonic wolf that seemed to come out of mythology. It had a tuft of white hair on its head. At this moment, he looked like a demon wolf. He retreated in a strange posture as if the hair on his body had exploded - the "hair" on his body was actually an illusory black "curtain" upon closer inspection, and the "curtain" was approaching the Honakis Mountains, causing "God of Wishes" Kotar involuntarily let out a desperate roar while being dragged backwards towards the coast.

The Demon of Knowledge thought for a while, stretched out his hand to grab it, shrunk down to an inch, and caught Kotar in his hand, who was still flopping on the beach on the eastern continent coast, and then connected the huge beast to the "curtain" "They stuffed their sleeves together and went to keep company with Adam and Arrodes.

It was dark now, and no one saw this abstract scene.

However, as if he sensed that the two sequences had lost contact, the collective force in the direction of the top of Honakis suddenly became stronger. Antigonus's eyes were half-opened, trying his best to resist the power of the River of Eternal Darkness.

As the combined power strengthened again, an illusory pattern appeared on his forehead. Just like Klein when he faced God, he chose to let the mysterious will further revive in his body!

Klein was only at Sequence 3 at the time, and he did this while losing control of his emotions. However, there were no major sequelae, but - Antigonus was completely different. The moment the light-colored pattern appeared, the white mask was directly placed on his face, showing an abstract "crying" expression that looked like a child casually smearing it on.

Immediately afterwards, the "crying mask" blended into His face and disappeared. And Antigonus's dark eyes suddenly glowed with some energy, and his dilated pupils began to gather.

Then he turned his eyes upward, looked beyond the spiritual world, crossed the spiritual sky, and locked his eyes directly on Calderon.

"Ba... De... Haier..."

"Die!!!"

At first, his throat was still a little dry, as if his vocal cords had become rotten and rusty, and he had swallowed another blade.

But the next moment, Antigonus woke up. He suddenly stood up from the seat at the top of the Hornacis Mountain. Without any warning, his body began to collapse, swell, and become twisted with anger and hatred. His face turned into countless transparent insects, and eight thick wolf claws grew out of his body. In an instant, the church on the top of Honakis Mountain and the ruins of the Kingdom of Darkness were swallowed up by darkness. The Foot Demon Wolf stood on the top of the mountain, and every strand of hair on his body shone with "weird", "weird" and "terrible" brilliance!

"Half Fool" has completely awakened!

Immediately afterwards, he rushed directly to the spiritual world without any hesitation. Countless spiritual threads radiated out like invisible light, capturing every living thing along the way.

The moment He arrived at Calderon, an orange-red light rushed toward him. In the light, the God of War held up the giant sword of dusk and slashed hard at His head!

Before the light fell, the entire Calderon was cut in half.
