1365: The Origin of the World(1/2)
1367: The Evil God
"But, after all, this is indeed my neglect." The shadow of the evil god sighed, "When I left this world, I was discouraged because of Luna's death. I forgot to block the blood pool of the demon realm that had been opened again, so that Bayer could escape from the demon realm. Deliards and Gulevia knew that they could not deal with Bayer, and that this would place hope on the stupid thing of Luna's resurrection, but I didn't know that Luna's will had disappeared. The blue planet fragments retained only part of her divine power. However, through the blue planet fragments, Mary Sullen Eviel was able to pull out the "spirit" that Luna was swallowed from the source of the world."
“That is,…”
"If she succeeds," said the evil god's shadow indifferently, "she will have the power of a god, and all humans on the earth will be destroyed by the disappearance of the source of the soul."
Megi was shocked. He finally understood why the Black Phantom said that Deli Ades' idea of helping the elves resurrect Luna was a "stupid thing". Of course, Mary Sullen Eviel must have known the truth from the beginning. She not only deceived the elves, but also induced Urenos and Deli Ades. Due to Luna's death and Shastin's departure, once Mary really obtained all the divine powers of Goddess Luna during her lifetime, she would undoubtedly dominate the world.
Besides Emma and Zhina, who are vampires, Megi and all the women he loves will inevitably die.
He raised his head: "Deli Ades told me that only Su Li can deal with her mother!"
"Well." said the Black Phantom. "That's because Mary Sullen Evil's power originally came from me. Just as Deli Ades hoped for Luna's resurrection in order to deal with Baier, the reason I cultivated Mary was to let her drive Baier back to the blood pool of the Demon Realm for me. But Mary betrayed me. In fact, if Deli Ades suddenly came to me, I would even think she was dead like everyone else. What Mary learned now, Suli has mastered, but this does not mean that Suli will definitely be able to surpass her mother. After all, no one knows what Mary has learned in the past few years."
"But this is the only chance, isn't it?" Meiji stood up slowly, staring at the black phantom in front of him, "So. I hope you can return Su Li to me!"
"Can't do it." Black Phantom rejected him directly.
Meggie began to feel chilled. Indeed, no matter how she thought about it, the other party had no reason to help him. Save humans? For the evil god of darkness, it was precisely because of the existence of human beings, Luna would die. It did not help Bloody Mary destroy the entire human being. It was already considered kind, so how could she care about the survival of human beings?
But, is that really the case?
"Actually," he looked at the black figure in front of him, "You want to help humans too, right? Otherwise, why should you train Mary to deal with the undead Baier? And the reason why Mary betrays you was because she knew that you would never sacrifice humans to help her usurp Luna's divine power. If you let humans be destroyed like this, what value does Goddess Luna's sacrifice have?"
Although the dark god Shastin is called the evil god, he is the god of creation in this world, not the god of destruction, just like God Luna. He is one of the makers of the law of life, and he also watches humans come over this world for thousands of years, and it is impossible to have no emotions at all. However, when the existence of human beings affects Luna's life, he has to make a choice and want to sacrifice humans to protect Luna.
The black phantom was silent without a doubt.
Meiji didn't plan to say anything more. After all, the other party was once a god. It had enough wisdom and rationality, and Meiji could only stand here and wait for its decision.
"I will not take the initiative to help humans," said the Black Phantom slowly, "but I can give you a chance. If you can pass my trial, I will hand Su Li over to you. If you fail, I will take away your soul. You will face more painful torture than death. Think carefully before deciding whether to accept it."
"No need to think about it," Meggie said, "I accept it!"
The dark room is unusually quiet.
Megi quietly looked at the black phantom, waiting for its trial.
He is not noble and has no interest in saving human beings and the world. If he can, he wants to lie comfortably on the grass in the fog girl forest and let others fight to save him.
But now, if he did nothing, the women he cared for and cherished would die together, as well as Joshua and Will, who were his friends.
He may not care about his life, but he cannot help but care about them.
The black phantom slowly overturned him, and he felt his soul begin to withdraw.
The sky suddenly brightened, and he found himself on a battlefield, with soldiers holding weapons everywhere. The soldiers discovered him and rushed towards him with swords and swords.
A voice told him that this was not just a dream. If he was hit by those swords, he would really die. So he quickly cast spells and summoned countless meteors to guard him. The meteors falling from the sky smashed the soldiers into meat sauce, and blood spread to his feet like rain.
However, the enemies did not retreat at all, and more and more, they were angry at the death of their companions and rushed towards Megi one after another.
Meggie kept casting comet techniques, but it was a powerful and brave army. His physical strength gradually could not be supported and he had to try to use teleportation magic to escape from these enemies. However, no matter where he fled, the enemy would come like a tide.
He wanted to open the magic maze and let Emma come out to help him, but Emma was not there at all. He wanted to contact Xiaoxian, but Xiaoxian's voice did not appear either.
He tried to use various magic to protect himself, but he could not get rid of the enemy. He wanted to use invisible spirits to enter the subdimensional space, but was still found by the soldiers. His magic began to rest. He could even feel the heat and disorder in his blood vessels. He reluctantly put an Otiluk elastic shield on himself, and then spit out blood suddenly.
He was almost exhausted, and the enemies were slashing their swords on the shield. After the stretch shield lasted, he would inevitably die.
A voice broke into his mind: "Why do they want to kill you?"
"How do I know?!" he roared.
The voice continued to ask, "Why have humans and other races been constantly fighting for thousands of years?"
"It's nothing to do with me!" he continued to yell.
The voice was silent.
But Meggy couldn't help but start thinking.
Humans and other races were destined to be unable to get along from the beginning, because human souls were taken from the spirit of Goddess Luna, while the source of life for other races came from the dream of the ancient dragon. After a hundred years of darkness, the source of human souls began to be assimilated by this world with the death of Goddess Luna. However, the inertia of history could not be eliminated immediately, and the barriers and wariness between various races still exist.
But it is undeniable that during the past five hundred years, small-scale conflicts have occurred from time to time except for humans and orcs. They are basically in peace with other races. Although this kind of "harmony" is actually relatively limited, it is undoubtedly much better than the bloody history of humans.
Could it be that this is really because the human souls have begun to "assimilate" with other races and are no longer as difficult to get along with as first?
Or is it just a temporary illusion?
Why do these people kill me? Meggy asked herself.
Because...I'm different from them!
Because humans are completely different from other races' sources of life, they cannot get along well. Although elves and dwarves are one in the source of souls, their appearance and temperament are completely opposite, so they can be easily provoked by humans and become enemies.
The reason these people wanted to kill me was because I was different from them...
The elastic shield became weaker and weaker. Meiji calmed down.
The moment the shield disappeared, Meggy casts a transform with his remaining magic.
He turned himself into an "enemy".
Not only the armor and equipment in his hands, he even tried to imitate the angry and enthusiastic expression on their faces. He took advantage of the shock of these soldiers to get into it and searched for the disappearing "enemy" with them.
Of course they couldn't find it, because the enemy had disappeared, and there was only their "people" here.
They began to be confused.
"What should I do now?" someone asked.
"Kill, keep killing!" someone replied, "The enemy will never be killed..."
The scene suddenly changed, and Meji saw himself rushing under a city wall with stone bullets flying over his head and corpses everywhere.
With a sharp roar, a giant bird carrying flames flew across the sky.
"It's the Fire Phoenix, Her Majesty the Queen!" The people around him began to panic and began to disperse.
He saw a boy wearing a gray magic robe appearing on the wall in the distance. The boy summoned a meteor shower and smashed it straight down around him.
"You guys, you actually want to hurt my woman!" The boy smiled proudly, "I will let you know what magic is now!"
Meiji looked at the boy and did nothing. The meteorites that kept falling made countless flesh mud beside him, but he did not dodge. Comet technique would not hurt his own people. He knew clearly that the boy who used magic was himself.
How could he hurt himself?
The fire phoenix fell from the sky, and the beautiful woman riding on its back looked at him in confusion, trying to figure out why the person in front of her could be safe under comet. She wore a golden crown on her head and her waist-closing skirt was white and beautiful.
"Sophia," he smiled and stretched out his hands, "It's me!"
"Meiji?" Her Majesty the Queen was surprised. She turned to look at the young man on the city wall, and looked back at him, not understanding why two Meijis appeared.
The scene is converted again...
This time, he found himself sitting on a luxurious chair, wearing no magic robe, and something on his head.
An old man stood under the steps and said respectfully to him: "Your Majesty, the time has come."
Megi looked around and understood that the courtier was talking to him. This was the palace. He actually sat on the throne with a crown on his head. He looked at the courtier under the steps in astonishment: "What's wrong? What about Sophia?"
"The former queen colluded with demons, which led to the government's resentment. She has been overthrown by His Majesty, your people have led her to overthrow her." The court minister replied idly, "Please issue an order immediately and kill him."
Meggie was shocked, and he jumped off the steps and ran out desperately, and the knights on the road knelt down one after another.
He ran to the square. Sure enough, a woman had been tied to the guillotine. Her face was haggard and her hair was messy.
A jester shouted "Your Majesty is here" and ordered the onlookers to kneel down. Could it be that the civilians were silent? Meggie could even feel the anger of those people at him. A group of soldiers rushed forward and forced everyone to kneel down with their weapons. An old man was pierced by his heart because he was too slow to react.
Sophia turned her head and looked at him coldly. There was not much resentment in her eyes, but deep sorrow and heartache were hidden. Meggie looked at her and found that she was no longer beautiful. There were deep crow's feet on the corners of her eyes, and her chest began to sag.
Meggie thought that he had controlled the country through a coup, and he had become the monarch above ten thousand people.
"Your Majesty." The courtier whispered behind him, "Please order her to be executed immediately, otherwise, those knights who refuse to surrender to you will sooner or later have trouble in her name."
Execute Sophia?
Meggy felt that his head was so painful that it seemed to be about to crack. He shook his head pale and kept retreating. He turned around and ran back, running back to the palace, holding the throne and gasping. He heard someone calling him, it was a woman's voice, old and unpleasant. He turned around and looked at the old woman walking down the steps.
"Meiji!" The old woman looked at him, tears flowing from her wrinkled face.
"Alicena..." Meggy looked at this old woman and couldn't believe that age could wipe out a person's beauty so clean.
"Can I call your name again before I call you with the others?" Alicena slowly knelt in front of him, "Meji. Please... let Sophia go..."
"No!" he yelled. He spent so much effort to become the king, how could he let go so easily?
At this time, he saw several other women coming out, including Anna, Ziya, Lisel and Xueqin'er. They were all looking at him, silent.
He was relieved to see that these women were not as old as Alicena. This was normal, after all, Alicena was much older than them. Especially Anna, perhaps because of the blue planetary fragments in her body, she looked more beautiful and mature than before.
"Anna!" He walked over and hugged Anna in his arms, "Do you want to mess with them too?"
"Brother Megi, no, your majesty," Anna said sadly, "but I..."
Her hesitation made Meji very angry. It was obvious that even the girl he loved refused to stand on his side this time. Meji pushed her away, his heart full of anger. He walked out with big strides.
The courtier walked up with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, please see, this is a virgin sent by the lords from all over the country."
A group of girls walked up to him and knelt down. They were not only young, but also as beautiful as flowers.
This is what he wants, he thought. Whether Alicena or Sophia, they are all old. Even Anna and Xue Qiner who have not grown old yet, they will grow old one day. However, as long as he becomes king and becomes the supreme monarch of this country, nothing can be ignored. He can change the beauties around him one by one, and never have to worry about them aging.
To be continued...
