Chapter 526 Contacting Dusk
Roland sat alone in the Pope's Hall in Frankfurt, his head lowered and his eyes closed.At a glance, it looked like he was asleep.

But in fact, Roland's soul is not here at all, but soaked in the astral world filled with Aum's blood.

Beside him, three familiar or unfamiliar beings floated in the air, quietly watching Roland's soul.

One is a huge emerald slab, about several thousand meters high, and there are endless golden dust sealed inside the slab, which will form sentences with completely different meanings when viewed from various angles.

And next to the slate is a huge rune that is somewhat similar to the True Sighting of wizards.Inside the triangular frame is a mysterious eye-shaped rune.There are strange breaks all around the rune, as if a part had been forcibly ripped from something greater.

Corresponding to these two somewhat unfamiliar existences is a rather familiar existence.

That is the huge coffin that will never be opened where the incarnation of the Eternal Sleeping Teacher named Nerola sits—in fact, this is the real body of the Eternal Sleeping Teacher, and what is sealed in her coffin is all The golden species that have fallen into eternal sleep.

The Covenanter, the Eye of Aum, the Sleeping Master——

These are the only three remaining saints in this world, the existing supreme rulers of the Farnese world, and the guardians who protect Farnese from being invaded by dusk.

They are truly the Most High.

Even if you are as arrogant as Tyre, you will always remember to remain humble in front of them.

Just by staying with them, Roland could feel that his soul had been improved, and his origin had become deeper.Roland's power was growing at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

"...I think that should be due to the lack of adoration."

Roland turned his head and said seriously to the covenanter: "As you said, the beliefs of the gods are essentially vain. They don't really have a higher consciousness than ordinary people-although they have indeed reached an extraordinary level. However, in fact, they are still mortals in essence. And they are the type of mortals who get rich overnight... They don't have the consciousness of being gods at all, and they rule the believers as rudely as the lords rule the subjects."

"The most direct impact of this situation is the lack of admiration. Although people spontaneously believe in gods, they do not believe in them because of the teachings of the gods, but take faith as a task to complete."

"That's why I think it's because the gods got the wrong direction of development from the very beginning. They only ask for but don't pay for their believers. It is precisely because of this that their believers' beliefs are so vain."

"But. I'm different from them."

After thinking for a while, Roland replied seriously: "I am the spokesperson of the saint. I am the only existence in this world who can get close to the supreme being... My role is to listen to God's will. Even though the status is lofty, people will not Think of me as a monster and an alien. I will always be human, and my will will always be that human will."

"As the spiritual idol of mortals, I can't be too close to them, nor too far away from them. If I am too ordinary, my authority will be gone; similarly, if I am too extraordinary, I will lose the authority to be worshiped. Value—Ants will not believe in the Lord of the Universe, because no matter how great He is, he has no boundary with their lives.”

Hearing this, Instructor Changmian nodded in agreement.

"Then, Roland."

The instructor asked: "As you know, Farnes has fallen into despair and distress. As dusk approaches, it will almost certainly be destroyed. This fate cannot be avoided."

"So Roland—do you have any way to save this world?"

"……Have."

Roland thought for a moment and further explained: "To be precise, I don't have a long-term way to save the world... but I can at least give them hope."

"What are you going to do?"

The covenantor asked.

Roland replied without hesitation: "First of all, make up for the loopholes in Gaia's wall... This can prolong the time when Farnese is destroyed by the dusk and buy precious time."

"In fact, if there hadn't been the chaos of the gods thousands of years ago, today's Farnes might have developed the technology that can allow Farnes to escape from this destroyed universe. This reminds me—people It's not that I don't have the ability to do it, but because of the inferiority of ordinary people, I can't maintain the original motivation for a long time."

"In the foreseeable future, people's technology will advance rapidly, and various entertainment facilities will make people slack and lazy. The pace of progress has stalled."

Roland seriously narrated his plan to the three saints: "I want to be a sharp blade hanging over their heads forever. Controlling the Saint Laurent Empire and becoming the pope is just the beginning. Next, I want to become the Lord of the Earth and the Lord of the World." King. Even if Farnese is destroyed, I will never die——if this level is achieved, basically the next plan will be realized."

"That's right - I want to become the only truth, the eternal and only God. I want to become the highest emperor and pass down the eternal orders from generation to generation. Even if I successfully escape this destroyed universe, this The mission will never change - the responsibility from heaven will last until death."

"Well said," the hollow voice of approval echoed in the air from the Eternal Sleeping Instructor: "Heaven's responsibility will not rest until death. Well said - I really should show these guys this sentence."

"Wait a minute," the Eye of Aum suddenly interrupted the Eternal Rest Teacher, "I have a question... Do you want eternity, not immortality?"

"That's right," Roland nodded slightly, agreeing, "Longevity is meaningless. As I said just now, I'm just a mortal... My spirit will also be corroded by time. Instead, you might as well just seal up my body Get up, so I can still function as a statue."

As soon as the words fell, the three saints fell silent at the same time.

A hint of hesitation appeared on Roland's face: "This... can't be done?"

"No, it can be done."

The instructor replied without hesitation: "It's just that you need to find the dusk..."

"Looking for dusk? Me?"

Roland was taken aback.

Instructor Changmian nodded: "Yes, you are the only one."

"However, it is not for you to fight against the dusk... but for you to try to touch the dusk."

"Twilight contact?!"

"That's right. As long as you have been in touch with the dusk and have not lost your way, the endless power of the dusk can be used by you."

The Eternal Sleep Instructor replied pointedly: "...as long as your will is strong enough."

Contact... Dusk?

Roland disconnected and fell into thinking.

At this moment, he felt someone calling him from the distant Titan.

Roland's eyes lit up immediately.

no doubt.This is a good time to touch the twilight.
