Chapter 541 Cut Off

"You should feel satisfied." The illusory sight was cast down from a very high place, shrouding Benson in it.
"At least you got a generous pension."
"Klein..."
Benson's face suddenly turned pale. His standing body swayed and he slumped onto the chair next to him.
He could no longer speak.
…
died. Klein thought.
In short, that's it, Klein Moretti's life officially ended at this moment.
He took a slow breath and observed Benson's expression from the prayer scene. He had to admit that he felt guilty, but told himself again that it was really the truth - letting their brother die as a hero would be the best ending, and what's more important is that Klein would die before he even became a hero. ——But Benson and the others are definitely more willing to accept the former.
Therefore, there is no need to add a story at the end that "Cline Moretti walked out of the grave, became an extraordinary person, worked hard all the way and finally became an evil god", which would make the follow-up of this somewhat sad but ordinary little story look like It was a sudden thought of an extraordinary person after he drank too much.
Klein decided to observe Benson's expression first. In his memory, Benson was not a fragile person. After his parents passed away, Benson, who was just an adult and had just started working, suddenly became the breadwinner of the family. He had to use his modest salary to support his younger brothers and sisters, trying hard to give them a place to live, food to eat, and education. education, and look forward to Klein's success in learning in the future.
Benson's mind is undoubtedly mature and determined. It's just that "my brother suddenly came back from the dead and was suddenly found to have died a long time ago"... seems to be a bit exciting for ordinary people.
"That should be enough."
Klein felt sad, and he really didn't want to say anything more serious.
But not saying harsh words would make them have hope, or interpret it as a hint. Benson clearly understood what he meant wrong just now.
What's more important is that it may make the God of Thunder realize that he wants to conceal his thoughts, so Klein has to grasp this degree. He feels that what he just said is already very serious. After all, his description was very accurate, scolding, begging and crying... Just imagining what his brother looked like would be enough to make Benson feel angry and even hateful of his own existence, right?
"Alas, after this incident about me is over, Melissa may not want to become an Extraordinary. Although only Benson should be able to hear me, Melissa should also have the right to know, and the Thunder Church will definitely Make notes..."
Klein subconsciously wanted to pinch the bridge of his nose with his hands, or press his temples a few times. This was his skilled thinking action.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't make such a move. He just stood there quietly, surrounded by gray mist.
"The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, but I didn't expect that the wound that ended so long ago could be opened again..."
"I really hope Benson and the others can treat this as a normal extraordinary event. The same goes for the Church of Thunder. If they are really stimulated and cannot come out, should I consider using some method to steal their memory."
Klein sighed.
Although his current way of thinking has changed slightly, he still subjectively hopes that Benson and Melissa can try to get rid of the negative influence caused by him, but now his thoughts have changed from "accompanying them" to It became "let them completely forget or escape Klein's death."
Whether it's because of the fear of the evil god or because of the event itself, in short, stop having unrealistic fantasies.
This is the best, it is best to fully devote yourself to your new life. I believe that Klein Moretti himself should think so (seeing that he was delirious when he committed suicide under the influence, Klein tentatively believes that he also loves and cares about his family). Therefore, one second he was still saying "I have killed Klein", and the next second he was still uncontrollably caring about them. This tangled look really made me feel a little desperate.
The good news is that Benson seemed to be really frightened by himself. He stood there trembling and speechless, so much so that the punisher next to him was also frightened, thinking that the evil god had sent power and did something to Benson. .
Bad news, it seemed like he was scared as well as Melissa, who was now covering her mouth, eyes wide open, and seemed to be crying.
"So be it……"
Klein could feel the God of Thunder's subtle surveillance. He couldn't detect it originally, but now Source Castle is connected to him again. So he simply cut off the prayer, not wanting to see his brother's injured back again.
Klein turned his head and saw the Outer God who was watching his impromptu performance with great interest.
The bucket of popcorn that Klein always subconsciously wanted to ignore finally disappeared, and was replaced by a piece of paper, a piece of paper that he often saw in elementary school, used by his classmates to fold paper cranes or little stars.
The outer god's eyes were directed towards him, but he accurately folded the prototype of a paper crane in his hand. Klein couldn't help but start to think that the other person's visual organs and range of vision might be beyond human imagination.
"Are you done?" asked the outside god, "You performed very well."
Klein nodded: "It's over."
The Outer God stopped folding paper and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I suddenly want to say something to you."
"?"
The Lord of Withering brewed his emotions for a while and said in a low voice:
"You've come this far."
"Of course, even so, you are still free to choose. No one will force you, and no one can force you. You can choose not to be promoted, to stop at a certain stage, not to become the old days, not to let the 'secret' The Lord' is completely awakened in the body."
"This may make the earth lack the power to resist the doomsday, but it doesn't matter. Then, when the doomsday comes, you only need to take the people and things you want to protect and 'roam' to other galaxies and other planets to avoid the outside world. Just create another civilization with the gaze of the gods.”
"?"
Klein listened to this sentence with an expression as if he was reading from heaven. He couldn't find the words to describe his mood for a while. Considering that the other party was not hostile and was willing to help him, he hesitated to speak, and finally asked with a complicated mood:
"what are you saying?"
What he actually meant was "Are you digesting the provocateur?"
The Lord of Wither shrugged: "I just thought of this sentence and thought it was quite interesting, so I wrote it down and told you."
"...Who said this to me?"
"You don't need to pay attention to this matter..."
The Outer God thought for a moment and said, "It's already dead. I just think this sentence is interesting and very suitable for you now."
These words made Klein feel particularly dissatisfied, even angry. ——What is this word? He has given up everything, even reluctantly cutting off his most important bond, and pushing up all the bargaining chips he did not have before he could barely get the tolerance of Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun - he did not become another person and die now. It was his luck, but at this point, someone actually said to him:
"No one will force you?"
He can't look back! There is no place for Him to retreat!
What does "no one will force you" mean?
Some memories did appear in his mind, and Klein really didn't want to regard the actions of the true Creator as coercion.
Although he had to admit that the other party did make him feel irritated and dissatisfied for a long time, he later recognized the idea of "doing everything possible for the end." After all, the True Creator himself set an example and sacrificed his life first, so Klein really couldn't blame him harshly. So I took the initiative to move forward, set new goals, and worked hard all the way to where I am today - I was fully prepared to accept the power, work hard to maintain myself, and even fight with God. You told me, "You can also carry important things with you after the end of the world." "People go to other planets to rebuild civilization"?
At this moment, Klein felt like a soldier on the battlefield. Someone was killed next to him. His captain had been killed in front of his eyes. After some mental struggle, he finally decided to pick up the corpse. Pick up the dead captain's gun and move forward to continue fighting. Then when he finally left the battlefield, someone said to him, "Actually, you don't have to go, no one forces you to do so"?
After a moment, Klein shook his head and laughed.
His emotions have calmed down again.
"It's true that I don't have to know who said this to me, but I still feel a little unhappy about the attitude."
"I admit that what I have come to this point is basically because of my own ideas. No one forced me. Even the true Creator just gave me a demonstration, and I am willing to follow His demonstration. You can tell Yes, I voluntarily promoted, voluntarily accepted the consciousness of the Lord of Mysteries, voluntarily became the Lord of Mysteries, and voluntarily lost myself after countless years, or on the day of my promotion."
"This is all of my own free will, no one forced me..."
Klein couldn't help but laugh again, and his smile was extremely sarcastic. Although he never expected that his "sacrifice" would really be remembered by others, it didn't mean that he was willing to let his struggle, hard work and sadness be overshadowed by the words "You are voluntary".
After a pause, Klein continued:
"I don't plan to consider going to the universe to rebuild civilization. Although the universe is vast and boundless, I am not trying to gain strength just to run faster when I escape. What's more, you are obviously more familiar with it than us."
"It is also more powerful and directly represents a certain aspect of the entire universe. Moreover, even if it can succeed, it can only be stable for a period of time, and the rebuilt civilization will be destroyed within a thousand years. Escape is never an option. Do we have to keep pursuing it like this? Continuing to chase and flee? This is completely meaningless. By then, there will be no chance of becoming the past, and you will never be able to redeem yourself."
This is because if you want to successfully escape when the alien gods invade, you must give up all the essence, otherwise you will definitely become the focus of their attention. Let alone roaming the starry sky, even whether you can withstand the initial round of attacks is unknown.
In this case, why not simply resist? Even if a battle breaks out and some unavoidable tragedies occur, is it better than simply escaping with your followers and important people?
The Outer God said:
"Your idea is very wise. We are not the kind of creatures that stop when we get the essence. As long as the life in the universe conforms to our symbol, there will inevitably be a mystical connection - you who need an anchor can't really do it. Let go and fight us.”
"You have other options, such as stopping promotion, giving up control of Origin Castle, and continuing to live well as a Sequence 1 or Sequence 2 angel. You don't have to worry about the 'Lord of Mysteries' awakening in your body all the time, and you don't have to worry too much about it. tired."
"Isn't it a little too late to say this now?"
Klein couldn't help it anymore:
"Origin Castle has reestablished contact with me, and the Lord of Mysteries is almost able to discuss with me in my ear what to do next, how to prevent His awakening? Should I go to the River of Eternal Darkness to rush forward now? "
"You are not the only one who braves the rapids of the Eternal Dark River. If you go, Gray Carrie and Salinger will also accompany you. You can start a dragon boat race. I remember that people in your country have this It’s a custom.”
The foreign god naturally responded to this complaint:
"You are quite lively now."
"Okay, I won't kid you anymore, what are you going to do now?"
"I mean, do you want to consider returning to Origin Castle immediately, grabbing Amon and stuffing it into your mouth, and then driving the Origin Castle directly into the God of Thunder and sending him into the starry sky? We are not picky - Oh, sorry, you have to become gods first. I still have one of the 'Servants of Secrets' in my hand. As long as you remain in this state, the Demon of Knowledge will definitely not mind giving you the 'curtain'... Then go back first. Go to Origin Castle, then find a way to become a god, then grab Amon and stuff it into your mouth——"
Klein felt that if he heard a few more words, his humanity would rise again. What on earth is going on with this guy:
"Stop, stop."
"Why are you so insistent on letting me accommodate Amon? The God of Deception is not easy to catch. It's not like I can sit back and relax after getting the Source Castle. What's more, I don't have the means to control Him now."
The Lord of Wither paused for a moment, and then looked at Klein with the same subtle look.
"So you don't know."
"I don't have any bad feelings towards Amon, but Amon himself killed the little guy I chose, so I feel that since the Amon I chose died, I should let the other Amon die too."
Klein understood: "What you are saying is..."
"Yes, it's him."
"He can choose to betray you, or he can choose to ignore you. Both of these choices will eventually lead to you being caught by Amon, and he can also continue to hide his identity and survive being turned a blind eye by Amon. .”
The Outer God cleared his throat and said seriously:
"While you still have morals, I want to kidnap you with morality. He died because of you. Aren't you willing to avenge him and me, a poor lonely old professor who lost his dear student?"
The trace of regret that had just arisen in Klein's heart was quickly suppressed.
"...You don't need to tell me, I should have fought against Amon."
Klein looked away and pursed his lips:
"Not for him, but also for my believers, for the people of Silver City and Moon City."
Now, it's time for him to fight hard again.
