Crown Dead

The cause and effect have been recalled, but Xian Yu's expression became more dignified.

Judging from the environment I am in now, it is obvious that this is the world after being swallowed by the "Tower of the End" - nothing is left, only boundless pure white.

Goal, failed?Even if you unite all the forces that can be united, even if you defeat all the enemies that stand in your way, in the end, you still can't stop the Holy Lance from devouring everything, and let the world come to an end?

Xian Yu once envisioned his own end point, maybe he would lose his special physique and die in a mediocre way, maybe he would wander in the gap of time as an eternal observer, or he might choose not to interfere in any world Live in silence with the people you love in an environment that you love. Of course, the most likely thing is to find a way to kill yourself completely before your humanity completely disappears.

But Xian Yu never thought that his end would be like this, wandering forever in the [anchored], empty world "..."

Xian Yu sat on the ground in silence for a long time, when his eyes swept over the dim rune stone on his neck, Xian Yu got up from the ground again, and started walking in a random direction.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe a few minutes or decades, the cosine of the concept of time itself is already a little thin and chaotic, and there is no way to confirm it in this world without reference.In short, just before his legs lost their senses, an "object" finally appeared at the end of the pure white space.

It was a tall tower standing alone on the ground.

"The Tower at the End..."

Xianyu maintained the consciousness of existence by talking to himself, and walked towards the steeple.

After an unknown amount of time, the minaret finally slowly arrived in front of my eyes.Slightly different from the surrounding nothingness, this spire is a building made up of transparent colorless crystals, and inside it contains a total of 300 spots that emit blue fluorescence.

Xianyu understood in an instant that this was not a [tower], but a [tombstone] built by the last and most flawless souls of the 300 earths, representing the concept and history of "human beings".

Since this is a cemetery representing the end of the world, there must be a 'gravekeeper'

On the other side of the tombstone called the Tower of the End, Xianyu saw the familiar figure holding the holy spear.

"The Lion King—"

For a moment, he wanted to rush forward and knock it down regardless of the cost, but Xian Yu immediately gave up this meaningless thought.

"The chosen one, you can actually reach here."

As motionless as a sculpture, the Lion King, full of untouchable holiness and oppressive feeling, sensed Xian Yu's existence, and looked at him again with unfocused eyes.

"Is this the ending you hoped for, everything is gone, only this tombstone is left, imprisoning 300 innocent souls who will never be reincarnated?"

Xian Yu loudly questioned the Lion King, and pointed to the crystal version of the cemetery beside him.

"The destruction of the world is bound to arrive. You have tried to prevent it, but failed. And this is the only choice that can continue the human race."

He didn't continue to fight the skinny black-haired youth in front of him. The Lion King just slowly told the last living "human" in the world about the philosophy that the Storm King himself followed.

"This is not a continuation at all, it's just a meaningless imprisonment. Not only those souls, but also you."

The passage of time is fair. Perhaps Xian Yu and The Lion King have different perceptions of the speed of time passing, but at least in the extension of the concept of "emptiness", there is no difference between the two.

The act of the Lion King erecting the Tower of the End actually sealed himself in the end of this nothingness forever.

An unanswerable question reappeared in Xian Yu's mind: Does the Lion King really love humans?

The answer must be no, after all, she can punish the refugees who came to seek survival without any guilt, and even abandon the whole world as fuel.

But the answer must be yes, after the Tower of the End is fully established, the Lion King will personally act as the guardian of this tombstone, waiting forever in this piece of pure white for passers-by who will never appear.

"..."

Even if he wants to fight her with all his might, it's pointless. It's better to say that the Lion King's behavior of letting go of everything and just making himself part of the Tower of the End makes Xianyu unable to understand.

So...is that all?

"The chosen one, why do you take the initiative to participate in the center of the storm again and again, trying to correct everything at the cost of your own soul and humanity? The world is always tending to destruction, but you will not die. Choosing to be an observer The most reasonable choice."

The Lion King questioned Xian Yu, at this time Xian Yu had no energy left to be surprised that the other party would take the initiative to talk to him.

"Because I'm just a human being who can't die, and I will never be able to think calmly like you."

"And——I never acted for the great goal of saving the world, which can only be done by heroes or great men. I just used this excuse to justify my selfish behavior."

Xian Yu tightly held the rune stone in his hand, as if he felt some kind of power from it.

"What will happen to the world, what will happen to other people, I don't care about these, I just want Tia to live in an ordinary world with blue sky and flowers, let Betty fulfill his long-cherished wish, let Mo Zai can step up this threshold and become a more cheerful girl, so that those residents who live seriously in this X-egg world can get a future that they can believe in—”

"I understand that your behavior is not without reason, but has been completely distorted from the beginning. The chosen one, you are not [God], but you can't use the identity of [Human] as a disguise to deceive yourself."

"...Talk about something I understand."

Xian Yu complained softly, trying not to think about what the Lion King meant.

The conversation faltered for a moment before The Lion King returned to his original, motionless, stagnant statue.

Time continued to pass by at an imperceptible speed, and every time Xian Yu's consciousness was about to be overwhelmed by a boundless blank, there would always be a breeze from an unknown source that would pull his consciousness back.

Xian Yu couldn't understand the Lion King's behavior of shackling himself in the eternal nothingness, but the Lion King would never explain to him why he made such a choice.

Until later, the Lion King told Xian Yu about his "origin".

The Lion King was not a "god" at first, but for some reason, she still maintained the consciousness and desire of a human after she got the power of the Holy Lance.

However, after ten years, one hundred years, and one thousand years of grinding, the Holy Lance slowly but surely exhausted the "human" side of the Lion King, completely assimilating her into the current God of the Storm and the Wild Hunt.

The glory and belief in the past are gone, and even a fragment cannot be found. All the original desires are finally condensed into the simplicity of "guarding Camelot and creating a kingdom that will never die."

The Lion King did it, in a way that was so rational that it didn't have a trace of warmth and humanity, so that Camelot really "continued in eternal peace."

"The Chosen One, I am not only the gravekeeper of the Tower at the End, but also your watchman. Your humanity will disappear with the passage of time, which is exactly the same as the apotheosis of the Holy Lance, irreversible and irresistible. When all fetters and After the memory is swallowed up, and only the immortal body is left—you will become Cronus, and use the method of [freezing everything] to [save everything].”

The tone of the Lion King is still quiet and makes people feel panic, but this time what she said is even more incomprehensible to Xian Yu.
