"Let's all go. This place can't stay any longer, what else can we do?"

When the king said this, no one could believe it.

Everyone knelt down and said to Wang, if you can still persist, there must be a solution.

Before that, who would have thought that words close to surrender and abandon would be spoken from their king's mouth?

How can it be.This is absolutely impossible.

Shouldn't it be impossible for a man like Eric to give up easily even in a desperate situation?

However, the king didn't look at them, but looked at the land under their feet with unwavering eyes.

"If you can persist, I won't let you leave."

Looking at this land, no matter how stubborn a person is, he can't say the words "it doesn't matter" against his conscience.

The soil is no longer soil, but rather dry and cracked rocks.

It has not rained for several days.

Before the river died, the stinky blood flowed in the river, and the belly-turned fish floated on the water, making the smell even more unbearable.

The fields were full of locusts, and the pests became infested and devoured all the crops in the fields.

From the river turned into blood, to the locusts, to the final drought...

No matter how much time has passed, God's means are always nothing new and unchanged.

"Hmph, I can probably empathize with Ozymandias' feelings at that time."

That being said, after the cold snort, Eddie's eyes were cold, and his expression seemed to freeze, without any unnecessary changes.

After all these years, I finally found it.

God finally discovered that "Eric" was actually the same person as Eddie back then.

No wonder it couldn't be killed easily, no wonder it was so hard to deal with.Therefore, when God ordered the believers to besiege Papara, he had to take another method.

God cannot directly affect mortals in the world, but it is not a problem to send "divine punishment" secretly without targeting specific people.

In the past two years, Papara has been troubled by the sudden appearance of strange disasters, and the whole country has fallen into a very difficult situation.

"Okay, don't be stubborn with me. Staying here is to die, and it's also something that hinders me."

Eddie's decisions have always been unambiguous, and he will never accept rebuttals.

This king has not done anything for so long, but what he did in the end was to ban the consul and take over all the commanding powers.

He calmly made various arrangements, calmly let everyone evacuate from the unrecognizable king's capital, and calmly sent Antasia, who was forced to stay until the end, into the leaving carriage.

The wind blew Antasia's hood, causing her purple hair to flutter behind her.

She was supposed to stay by the king's side until the last moment, but the king's words could not be disobeyed, this was higher than her life, even if she was extremely reluctant, she must obey the king's order.

"It's okay, let's go." Apart from being a little strangely relaxed, Eddie didn't show any abnormalities.He finally touched the head of Antaxia, who was no longer a little girl, "I have already told you the safe place, and the money is enough for you. After taking people there, I still have to let you make arrangements."

Antaxia's eyes flashed with unprecedented determination.Her eyes were bright, and she didn't know if she really had absolute trust in this man, or if she had to use this trust to convince herself.

"King, your people will always wait for your return. The matter that must be decided, is it Heyedi..."

"Well, Jedidiah." Actually mainly the God behind Jedidiah.

"Okay." Antaxia smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved. King, although it is that bad boy who is going to attack us, in the end, we still have to be merciful to Jedidiah."

That's why Antaxia could still bear the guilt of leaving the king alone in the capital.

King Solomon of Israel declared war on Papara. When the news reached Antaxia's ears, her first reaction was "impossible".After it was proved to be true, she decided that there must be something hidden in it.

That was Yedidia, who had been suppressed by the king for so many years, and finally had a little emotion, how could Yedidia suddenly declare war on Papara

The king's stay must have been to deal with Jedidiah's affairs.

Antaxia was not worried at all that Yedidia would hurt the king, because the king's strength had already surpassed her imagination and reached a height that no one could defeat. Yedidia, together with thousands of troops, would also no.

She should worry a little bit about Jedidiah, haha.

Before leaving.

Eddie asked, "Is there anything else you want, a special opportunity, just this one time."

Antaxia replied: "Yes, king, please grant me..."

……

He was alone.

very clean.

Eddie walked on the deserted and even more messy street, casually glanced around, and after a short while, he looked back with a lack of interest.

Without interest, there is no need for the broken picture to come into his eyes again.Papara, who was full of vigor and laughter in the past, is the appearance that should remain in his memory.

When he returned to the palace, he didn't bother to brush a layer of dust on the throne, so he just sat on it disapprovingly.

"It's good. At this time, no one will disturb my sleep anymore."

After closing his eyes for a while, he said so, and after a while, he opened his eyes again.

"Well, except for you——Lucas, didn't you tell them to go to the place, why did you run back early?" Eddie raised his hand and caught the black shadow that flew into the inner hall. He curled his fingers and flicked on the disobedient eagle's head.

The strength was well controlled, and with a light flick, not only did Lucas not fly away—like a certain pharaoh once did—but he made an inch of it, jumped a few times, and rubbed his head on the man's chest.

Well, just because of his thick skin, he still resembles a certain pharaoh.

It's different from the original Lucas.

The eagle that Ozymandias had given him had always been very obedient to him, and only fussed over trivial matters.However, at the moment when the curtain is about to end, it will be disobedient in the most important matter.

This is also to be expected.

Pharaoh asked him to accompany Eddie instead of him, so, including the end, Lucas would never leave him, and he couldn't drive him away.

"Do you still want to stay with me?"

exactly.

"That's it... then it's up to you, what an annoying guy."

"It's just right, you can run some errands and deliver a letter for me."

Not long ago, I wrote a letter with a smile on my face.

The man who stayed alone in the empty hall watched Lucas leave with the letter in his mouth, and the same smile as when he wrote the letter involuntarily surfaced on the corner of his lips.

I couldn't hold back for a while, but what does it matter.

"Although the 'decision' has not officially started, but—"

"I've already won."

Needless to say.

When the night is over and a new day arrives, what comes with laughter and laments that may be heard will be the complete victory of the dead.

So, why do you say that?

According to the "script" that has been established, tomorrow will be the final curtain of "Eric Alexander Hubert Nicholas Augustus".

He will die at the hand of Solomon.

He would have Solomon kill him with his own hands.

With Solomon's army and the entire kingdom of sinners buried as himself, the blood of Eric, the devil king who is an enemy of God, will soak the black and filthy land—this is such a happy "end" for most people.

however.

--I won.

——That’s right, I’m the one who won, stupid god.

No matter how much time is spent on searching endlessly, as long as he is still a human being, the huge gap between the realm of the gods and the world of mortals cannot be bridged.

He will not be reconciled, he will not give up.

The enmity that started thousands of years ago and continues to this day will never be forgotten or faded with the passage of time.

How do we do this.

Ahh-I found it.

Let's end it like this.

Eddie made that decision, and that's it.

He threw his own life, together with Papara, who was actually empty, without any hesitation, as a ladder to pave the way for Solomon, the spokesperson of God who "killed" the devil Eric.

Solomon will wear the crown of the victor and the savior amidst the joy of God and all the people. However, he, who is apparently a loser, can complete his revenge on God while finally ushering in real relaxation.

That's why he didn't lose.It is God who loses completely.

God thought he had won the victory, but he didn't know that when he was complacent, the useful "tool" used to control the world would escape from his control because of Eric's death, and silently transform into a human being.

In this unchanging plan, Solomon seemed to be the one who was used the most and suffered the most damage.

But in fact, Eddie didn't fail to consider this.

He was still hesitant at first, but since that day, after discovering that Solomon has been pretending, but in fact still failed to develop real feelings, this hesitation can be discarded.

Faced with this seemingly hopeless situation, let alone the slightest possibility of existence, the only effective way is to scuttle the boat and take a hard medicine.

No matter how disappointed he was before, Eddie always had a trace of unbroken trust in Solomon.

He didn't believe that Solomon was completely untouched and had no emotions at all, so he simply used his own death to teach Solomon the last lesson.

In the beginning, Solomon, incapable of empathy, was not hurt by his death.However, after a long time, Solomon must be able to understand his intentions.

I don't want to kill the child I raised, and by the way, let's leave the last sustenance for this child who will be controlled by God from beginning to end if he can't change it.

Glory and prestige are the last "gifts" prepared for him by Eddie, who still feels a little guilty in his heart.

Maybe... well, maybe it was too harsh, and there were potential details that he hadn't discovered yet-but Eddie couldn't care about that much anymore.

When he saw the direction of liberation, he couldn't wait.

Like tonight.

The first thing to do is to eagerly——

"Congratulations, my dear Jedidiah."

The man sitting obliquely on the throne changed his posture slightly, and looked at the figure of the young king who came to the empty hall together with the moonlight. In the imposing golden eyes, there was a shining brilliance.

"Congratulate me... what?"

Eddie rested his jaw on his palm and tapped his fingers slowly against his ear.

He smiled lightly.

"congratulations."

"The most glorious day in your life is coming soon."

*****

—He was laughing at me.

This was the first thought that came to Solomon's mind when he stepped into the promised land.

I still learned it from the man I was staring at.

It seems that since that day, Solomon's blank heart has inexplicably added a few different colors.

The tones are all dark, mixed with a bitter and painful taste that cannot be tasted carefully, and even the thoughts of others can be figured out most directly.

—I will die tomorrow.

thought Solomon.

——He wanted to see me, who was about to die, for the last time, but he wanted to say sarcastic words to me.

Only a little, but there was indeed a ripple spreading in his chest like a dead lake.

Apart from the pain that occurs more frequently, it is temporarily impossible to discern what that bitter taste is.Solomon paused in place, then stepped forward step by step.

He soon stopped paying attention to his inexplicable subtle emotions, because it was exactly the same as usual, without exception.

There is only one person in his eyes, and his empty heart can only hold one person.

Eric in black was sitting there.

Even on the honorable throne that symbolizes status, this man seldom sits upright.He always sits slightly tilted, with one leg raised, his right hand holding his head, and his left hand is naturally placed on the handle of the throne.

What a slack, like a posture where you can't use your strength.But it can be done by Eric, and while he is a little lazy, he shows another kind of deterrence, who has restrained his whole body.

Don't look directly at him, dare not look at him with stupid eyes.

Even though this man was born to be stared at in awe by everyone, his light is so dazzling, it seems that being able to look at him one more time is the pity of those who are condescending.

However, Eric tonight seemed to be different from before.

The light is softer... Is it because the mood is already extraordinarily beautiful, or is it because seeing the doomed person walking slowly, he relaxes from the bottom of his heart?

Solomon didn't know, and he had no time to think about it.

The sound of gentle footsteps resounded in the empty space, bringing undulating echoes.In such a short time, the white-haired king had already walked up the steps and came to the lonely throne, before the lonely man.

At such a close distance, Eric's brows that made him unable to move his eyes for some reason were clearly reflected in Solomon's calm eyes.

No, maybe this is the real "camouflage."

In front of Eric, he was still as calm as stagnant water, but the special and unknown "feeling" that surrounded him quietly——

Pulled all the desires to get close, to touch, to caress... and so on, into his heart.

It seemed that being satirized didn't feel special, and the bitterness and pain disappeared.

Because he saw Eric, and this arrogant man who didn't allow others to approach, allowed him to approach.

When I saw him and saw myself falling into these golden eyes, it was as if I had found a lamp that could illuminate the front.

Although the so-called front is the "tomorrow" that is about to end.

"Jedidiah."

Solomon raised his hand involuntarily, as if to carefully trace the man's eyes.However, the man held him down.

"As long as you are asked, you will definitely respond. Is this what you have been doing?"

"……Um."

"So, are you willing to respond to my request?"

Solomon's pressed fingertips seemed to tremble extremely slightly.

"Yes."

"it is good."

About to hear, what will be the request?

During this not-so-long wait, Solomon stared at Eric, almost intoxicated by the man's different gentle eyes, but at the same time was distracted from thinking about this question.

However, that doesn't make sense either.

Even if Eric wants him to die here now.Solomon thought he wouldn't hesitate.

"My request is actually very simple, but for you, it may be very difficult..."

Listening to the voice, Solomon's gaze turned to the man's lips involuntarily.

"That's the only request."

what is it then?

"Don't let me down again, Jedidiah, you must do it."

Can't let you down.

So, what is-

"While you're alive as a human being, find—what you want most."

……what?

"Anything. A friend, a lover, or something you love."

"We must find it, Jedidiah."

"Or, if you can think of it, you can tell me now. As long as it's what you really want."

"Only this opportunity, you say, I will find it for you."

what?

what?

Eric, asking him to find what he really wanted—

Solomon was momentarily taken aback.

Because of this question that came unexpectedly, he fell into an unprecedented confusion after the sluggishness passed.

Sure enough, it was too difficult.For Solomon, responding to others' requests is an instinct and a form of his existence, and Eric's request is too embarrassing for him.

He couldn't think of it, couldn't think of what he "really wanted".

Even at this moment, my heart trembled suddenly, revived a little temperature that had subsided.

Heat, turbulent breath, violent collision.Solomon's fingertips trembled again, and his drooping eyelids trembled suddenly.

The man who waited for a long time without waiting for a response seemed to have expected it, so he just sighed lightly without showing any disappointment.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work now."

"It's okay, your time is still so long, in the future, you can—"

Very abruptly, the voice stopped abruptly.

The man never imagined that because of a certain sentence that seemed to have been said countless times, the "temperature" that could not find an outlet in the confusion finally got a lead.

Solomon still doesn't know why he did it.

but.

Still confused, he lowered his head and kissed Eric's slightly parted lips.

*****

- It's over.

This was the first thought that came to Eddie's mind when his beloved child held his head and kissed him.

There were a few more coolness from the rings that were pressed against his cheeks, and this coolness seemed to soak into his fiery heart in an instant.

All of a sudden, all the arrogance and satisfaction of winning were solidified.

what is this?Ah, it's almost like that, after all the preparations have been made, and according to the plan, a perfect ending can be ushered in.

but.

However, after making the most plans, in the most critical part of the plan, there suddenly occurred a big mistake that made him stunned, let alone unbelievable.

Sure enough, he was right.

Solomon wasn't untouched, or emotional, or wanting—

people.

Eddie was not relieved at all. On the contrary, he suddenly found that he had done another really stupid thing.

It’s over.

It just sucks.

Solomon, who thought he would not be hit hard, will become the one who will be most severely affected by his plan.

There are thousands of emotions, why is this one sprouting from his heart.There are countless things, why the one he wants the most is——

...that's all.

It is no longer necessary to explore now.

Eddie's body was extremely stiff.

After Solomon had kissed him and put his hand in front of him, trying to undo his clothes, he grabbed Solomon's shoulder suddenly.

The strength used was so heavy that it could almost shatter the relatively hard shoulder bones. In fact, the sound of the bones cracking was already heard.

However, as soon as Solomon's extremely low muffled hum fell, the piercing clicking sound stopped immediately.

"...Eric."

Solomon didn't seem to feel the sharp pain from his shoulders. He looked at Eric's face suspiciously, and finally realized that the man was obviously enduring the forbearance of a huge inner entanglement.

It wasn't just the hand that stopped him, the hand that was about to sink its fingers deep into his flesh and blood.

The man's breathing was heavy, and the half-torn black underwear could not cover his pale chest, which was also heaving violently.

"Eric."

Solomon called him again, and at this moment, he saw the mixture of struggle and anger in the man's golden pupils constricted.

If it wasn't for Solomon's seemingly calm face, which finally revealed a tiny bright light, into these icy eyes, the gloom would have easily overwhelmed the struggle.

But the fact is that the dark and violent look is the one that has been covered up with difficulty.

Solomon wouldn't know how many inner struggles the man had made during this short but extremely long time for a certain person, and how many things he had done to lower the bottom line again for him who didn't know it compromise.

All Solomon knew was that the man grabbed his shoulders and asked him the same question over and over again.

"Are you sure, Jedidiah, this is what you want?"

"Are you sure, this is what you really want?"

"Sure...well, I see. If you want it, I promise to give it to you, so how can I not give it to you?"

It is impossible to give up on tomorrow's plan.

Therefore, the man chooses to let go of his arrogance and dignity.

Under the urging of a great sense of guilt, he slowly unfolded his body.

……

……

Solomon vented in Eric's body.

The liquid overflowed in the filled narrow place, and the momentary stimulation finally caused the man's strong body, which had been stiff until now, to tremble. His closed eyelids were half lifted, revealing the half-darkened gold in the bottom of his eyes.

"Eric..."

Solomon raised his head, wanting to kiss Eric who finally had a slight reaction.

However, Eric opened his eyes and regained his clarity.

He didn't indulge Solomon's kiss again, but raised his hand and pinched the chin of the young man who was staring at him with amber eyes.

"Didn't I tell you... this is not my real name."

But what is the real name, until the end did not tell him.

With just this movement, the man pulled Solomon's head down, and lightly touched Solomon's forehead with more confusion in his eyes.

It was just a kiss of blessing.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

The next moment, Solomon was pushed away.

When the man got up, he staggered unobviously.But then it returned to normal, he left Solomon and went to the inner temple where he could clean his body.

Even if such a great sacrifice is made for this child who is helplessly looking at his back but dare not take a step, it cannot offset the great harm that will be brought to him tomorrow.

Men will not have any nostalgia.

His pride only allowed himself to give Solomon his sincere blessing, as an elder.Solomon was never allowed to see his embarrassment again.

That's all.

Solomon stood quietly before the deserted throne until dawn.

—Last Mercy. /final compensation.

——It's over. /That's all I can give him.

—Tomorrow.../Soon, in a few hours.

——The person who dies will be me.

In the end, it was the same voice.
