You don’t think they did it voluntarily, right?

If an apostle like you falls into His Majesty's hands, his life may be worse than death."

The little man laughed, grabbed the other person's hair, and slammed his face into the ground of the carriage, leaving a dark red blood mark on it.

Seeing this, Gus also showed a slightly ferocious smile.

There is no doubt that both the members of this hunting team and this large, scary and eerie royal capital are quite to his liking so far.

Especially in terms of attitude towards the apostles.

After revealing his identity to the guards guarding the entrance, the carriage quickly entered the back entrance of the palace, escorted by four cavalry.

About fifteen minutes later, they finally passed through the layers of security and entered the most secret and core place of the palace.

As soon as he stepped in, Gus immediately heard blood-curdling screams and wails coming from inside.

That pitiful cry can make even a stone-hearted person soften.

But soon, this newly aroused sympathy disappeared.

Because when passing by a cell, Gus saw that the unlucky guy fixed on the wall was not a human being at all, but a strange apostle.

The owner here is obviously conducting some horrific experiments on them.

Some apostles even had their limbs separated and their bodies cut into more than a dozen sections, but they still did not die, but lived well.

It has to be said that if he had not experienced that terrible sacrifice before, Gus can guarantee that he would not be able to deal with it calmly now.

Finally, the group came to a room filled with books, experimental instruments, various specimens and medicine bottles.

As the captain, Mago Salem took the lead to step forward, knelt down on one knee, and reported in a very respectful manner: "Your Majesty, according to your order, we have captured the Apostle Gardener."

"Very good! Paris, just take this guy to do a small renovation, and then send him directly to build the railway. It would be a waste for someone with an innate civil engineering body like him not to move bricks at the construction site."

Zuo Si gave straightforward orders to the maid beside him.

"As you wish, Master."

Paris bowed gracefully, then stepped forward and took the hair of the apostle known as "The Gardener" and walked straight in the direction of the cell.

After a while, the latter's heart-rending screams echoed in everyone's ears.

But Zuo Si acted as if he hadn't heard anything, staring straight at Gus standing in front of him. After a full minute, he stood up, took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to

other side.

"This is?!"

Gus took the glass and was stunned for a moment, not sure what he was doing.

"Here's to the only warrior in the world who dares to challenge fate and face the bleak life." Zuo Si raised the wine glass in his hand and said.

"Are you talking about me?"

Gus frowned subconsciously.

For some reason, he always felt that when those black eyes looked at him, he was instantly seen through from the inside out.

"Who else could it be?"

Zuo Si asked with a smile, then clinked the glass with the other person, then raised his head and drank it all, feeling the light sourness of the wine remaining on the tip of his tongue.

From the serious look in his eyes, it was easy to see that he was not simply complimenting him, but he believed from the bottom of his heart that this was the truth.

Because even among the many "protagonists" with miserable life experiences, Gus is definitely unique. He can even be removed as one of the most miserable, and he is a veritable "King of Misery".

Other protagonists with miserable life experiences can at least live a normal life, or experience more or less family affection and love.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But what about Gus?

It was a standard hell start from the moment of birth, an abandoned baby that almost died as soon as it crawled out of its mother's belly.

Even the adoptive mother who treats him best does not really love him, but sees him as a substitute for her aborted child, and may not even be in a normal mental state.

The adoptive father was a scumbag among scumbags, not to mention that he was violated by a strong mercenary when he was young.

Throughout Gus's entire childhood, there were almost nothing but tragedies, and there weren't many scenes that could be called "warm" at all.

But do you think this is the end?

No!

This is just the beginning!

Later, the Eagle Group, Griffith's ascension to the devil and sacrifice were the real starting point of this purgatory life.

For most people, not to mention experiencing it from beginning to end, even one or two experiences are enough to cause a devastating blow to the spirit, and may even leave a huge psychological shadow that cannot be overcome for the rest of their lives.

But Gus survived time and time again. Even if the enemy was so powerful that it made people despair, he never gave up the fight, using his human flesh and blood to fight against the hands of the apostles and gods.

No matter what the final result is, the fearless courage and persistence alone are worthy of admiration.

Through the mutilated body, Zuo Si could even see the golden soul shining inside.

If such a person appeared in the continent of Faerûn, gods such as Tempus, the God of War, Tyr, the God of Justice, Thom, the God of Loyalty and Courage, and Hoare, the God of Vengeance, would even fight over his faith and soul.

Maybe the goddess of love, Shuna, will get involved and want to experience what it's like to fall in love with such a macho man.

"The look in your eyes reminds me of a person, an enemy I hate so much."

Gus drank all the wine in the glass first, and then suddenly exerted force on his palm, crushing the glass wine glass with a snap.

This action instantly aroused the vigilance of others around him.

Especially the eldest lady, Farnese, was even ready to start chanting incantations to release magic.

But all the commotion was stopped by Zuo Si, who raised his hand and then asked with a relaxed face: "Is it Griffith?"

Gus nodded without thinking: "That's right! I smell the same aura as his on you. But you are obviously more powerful than him and also crazier."

“Pfft hahaha!

I have to say, your intuition is really quite sharp.

In fact, I have more similarities with Griffith than you might think.

Like we all have this."

With that said, Zuo Si took out his crimson behelet and threw it directly.

"Overlord's egg? How could you have such a thing!"

Gus's face suddenly changed, one hand was already on the dragon-slaying sword, and his whole body was exuding terrifying killing intent.

He would never forget what happened when Griffith turned it on after despair.

"Don't be so nervous.

The Overlord's egg is just a key, a node woven by the law of cause and effect.

It is not something mandatory, everything comes from the choice of the holder.

In other words, the reason why Griffith became the Hand of God was not because he was really destined to become the Hand of God, but because he chose to surrender to fate.

In fact, he has the opportunity to break away from his fate and embark on a completely different path, just like you now.

It's just that he chose to surrender to fate and took the initiative to embrace the dark side of human nature.

But I'm different from him.

Because I never make a choice, I let others make the choice.

So there is no need to worry about what I will do with the Overlord Egg.

It is just a tool for me, a key to better understand the truth of this world."

Zuo Si patiently explained and explained in detail.

Although the God of the Abyss claims that it weaves everyone's destiny, and even arranged the script for the entire world a long time ago and calls it the "law of cause and effect," the real situation is much more complicated.

In the real world, many people have successfully escaped the control of fate and the law of cause and effect, at least for a short period of time.

Therefore, although the God of the Abyss is the projection of the evil side of all human consciousness, it cannot control everyone 100%.

Because besides the evil side of human nature, there is also a good side.

The good side is the biggest variable that can affect and interfere with the law of cause and effect, and destiny.

Although Zuo Si himself is a staunch supporter of "human nature is inherently evil", and his tendency towards lawful evil is the best proof, he does not hate or even deny the precious qualities of kindness, justice, and kindness.

Therefore, he was keenly aware of the flaws of the God of the Abyss, and planned to use this as an opportunity to start a debate with the other party.

"So...you know everything?"

Gus stared at Zuo Si who was so close with wide eyes.

The latter smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know everything, whether it's your life experience or Griffith's sacrifice of the entire Eagle Group to become a demon. I also know that it won't take long for him to complete the second mission.

The second reincarnation returns in the form of the Eagle of Light."

"What? Wait! You said Griffith will come back?"

Gus quickly grasped a key word that made him lose control of his emotions.
