Scepter of Thorns

Amiens suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, as if he had been hit hard by a mallet, and the memory of his death lingered, entangled his little sanity.

"Look." Kylos sympathized, "You still killed your brother yourself."

"It's not like this..." Amiens face turned pale, and the precious godhead slipped from his hands and shattered on the marble slab. Me, and let me kill Caesar..."

"Are you blaming me for bewitching you?" The angel spread out his arms, and the warm light spread, surrounding Amiens who was kneeling on the ground, "The evil thoughts in your heart are real, I just pulled them out .In terms of charges, you are the ringleader, and I am only an accomplice."

His body was bathed in light, but his heart was as cold as frost and snow.As if the myrtle had been grafted on the black cypress, and out of the sores grew luxuriant flowers.Amiens couldn't help but recall that he had paid so much for Caesar, but what he got in return was pet-like captivity and fear of power struggles. Was he born to bear all this?

In the beginning, it was just pure emotion—"Be nice to my brother." Everyone said so, so Amiens became a pet, which gave Caesar a chance to rise.But when Caesar matured and held great power, this original pure emotion became deeply poisoned.

why it's not me?Obviously, I am... my brother.

Resentment breeds in the shadows, grows like a living thing, takes root in the heart.Especially after Amiens fled to the human world after Caesar took power, concealed his identity, and became the holy son of the Holy See by his own means, this idea became stronger.

I can do well too.As for my brother, I love him enough to pay so much for him, but that's no reason for me to give up on myself.

"Do you know why you believed me so easily?" Kairos seemed to be questioning, but seemed to excuse him, "Because your grievances against Caesar have been accumulated for a long time, and the so-called revenge is just a reason. An excuse to vent your true emotions. You know all this better than anyone else, but you want to escape more than anyone else. In fact, you just can’t accept your own 'ugliness' - the 'ugliness' you think."

Amiens raised her head, her black eyes were empty.

"What's wrong with you? You can give up your dignity for your younger brother, but he repays his kindness with revenge. Your hatred and anger are reasonable. There has never been a person who has to give unconditionally to another person, even if there is blood relationship. Your jealousy and resentment are not despicable in nature, people are born with this original sin, let alone after going through a blow."

The silver-haired young man was silent for a moment, then asked hoarsely, "Your purpose?"

"Orion is dead, and the demon world needs a leader. But the leader of the Celestial Clan is Edward, the first generation god, who is in charge of the light. You can't fight against him with your strength alone." Kylos finally tore off the mask of hypocrisy, Showing his ambition and desire, "I am the first generation Lord God of the same level as Edward, with power over him. I need an identity to fight him openly, and this identity can only be provided to me by you."

Amiens' hand hidden under the cloak moved slightly, turning the corner of the clothes over, but Kairos didn't notice this tiny but deadly movement, he was still staring at Amiens.

"You are really good at playing chess." Amiens twitched the corner of her mouth, "I have been calculating since then, and even today, I don't have the ability to oppose you, do I?"

——If there are no accidents.

Kylos prefers a black dress, which is a tight-fitting garment that clearly outlines his back.He faintly felt a little discomfort, but the handover of Orion's power was imminent, and his inherent arrogance made him choose to ignore his intuition.

Amiens was still talking, his voice whitewashed the surging undercurrent and covered up the movement of the object breaking through the air.Under the hidden barrier, another figure in the shadow is like a leopard ready to go, the rubber band is stretched longer, then embedded in the object, and let go suddenly.

scoff-

A small stone hit Kaierros's back, his expression twisted for a moment, his huge wings trembled, as if he was suffering great pain.His pupils are dilated, and the power of chaos is rapidly draining... Who is it and how? !

Amiens stood upright with his scepter on his back. He looked down at Kerros and smiled triumphantly, "Thank you for teaching me the last lesson. You have to fight for what you want. Caesar can't save me, and neither can you." , you will only drag me into the mud. If I can kill Caesar, I can naturally kill you too."

Kaierlos's eyes were dark, and he used the last bit of strength to suddenly attack the godhead fragments on the ground, but he was already a powerful bow, and the power of chaos was exhausted, so he was forcibly teleported back to the Eternal Ruins.

Amiens stepped forward slowly, picked up the fragments of the godhead one by one, and put them away carefully.His smile disappeared, because the godhead was completely shattered, and the source of darkness slammed away under Kylos' dying blow, leaving only a frame.What was even more surprising was that the black widow who had succeeded in the sneak attack just now was forced to show her figure. He frowned and asked Amiens: "What's the matter, why did the concealment suddenly disappear?"

Oops.

Amiens' heart sank, Kerros disappeared, and the purpose of the clock was achieved, so the ability to hide would naturally be withdrawn.

"Not good!" Black Widow obviously thought of something, he took a few steps back and raised his voice, "The God of Undead will find out—"

In the next second, his voice was drowned out by the sound of the scythe smashing the ground heavily.William was wearing a pure black cloak, and a huge skeleton bird was neighing behind him. He put away his scythe, and a faint blue flame flashed in his eyes.

"Black Widow." He glanced at the killer who was standing aside, and then looked at the expressionless Amiens, "... Orion?"

The Lord God of Undead had actually seen Amiens in the illusion, but he only had a quick glance, and he didn't even see the other person's face clearly.Caesar and Amiens were almost carved out of the same mold except for the color of their hair and eyes. William's first reaction when he saw Amiens was Orion, not to mention that the aura of the dark godhead still lingered on Amiens.

The black widow looked at the two of them and shivered secretly.

"You took refuge in Orion?" William asked.

Black Widow knew that this charge was absolutely unacceptable, once it was committed, the God of Undead would abolish him without hesitation.Fortunately, Amiens imitated Caesar's tone and said, "Yes, you don't care about the people under your command."

In an instant, the black widow knew what the other party meant. If Orion excused himself at this time, William would only secretly suspect it, because the relationship between the two was not very good in the first place, and the more he defended, the greater the suspicion.

He immediately grabbed William's cloak, "My God, I..."

William took the cloak from him without a word.

Black Widow instantly felt that she couldn't even act well. He knelt down and said in a panic, "Are you doubting me?! I..."

Amiens wanted to interject a few words, but William said, "Yes."

"Then leave the envoy here with me." He finally couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted the pair of master and servant, "At least my attitude towards the envoy is pretty good. If you don't want it, just give it to me."

The skeleton protruded from the ground and tightly wrapped around the black widow's waist, as if to prevent him from escaping.Black Widow's face turned blue. He knew very well the reason why William insisted on taking him away. He had been with the other party for so many years, and he definitely knew a lot of secrets. The God of Death was afraid that Orion would learn this information.

"This god made me have to take it away." William said lightly, "I will never give up my things to others."

Things are at your disposal.

Amiens knew that he couldn't do anything, he just used the residual aura of the godhead to frighten the god of the undead, and once he made a move, he would be seen through, so he could only pretend not to care, "Whatever, it's nothing to you anyway. something, don't worry too much about it."

The god of the undead shackled the black widow and left the palace.Amiens seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned back on the high-back chair, closed his eyes, and meditated on something.After a while, he opened his eyes, and the touch of the scepter was cold and hard.Amiens changed into Caesar's fine attire, without a mask, and walked all the way to the gate of the palace.

Back then, Orion forced him to wear a mask in order not to cause confusion. No one knew that the appearance of the Demon Lord was exactly the same as that of the God of Darkness.The guards and maids were only secretly surprised why the main god's hair and eyes had changed, but they didn't dare to ask further questions.

Amiens stood in the pouring rain, his long hair was wet, and the corners of his eyes were blurred by water.

Nightingale finally pecked out the eyeball of its master, broke the gold thread with many scars, and regained her freedom.

"The Demon Lord passed away!" He suddenly said loudly, as if filled with endless grief, "Pass down my will, and send me to the great cause of the Demon Realm. My king has passed away, and the Demon Realm will mourn for three days!"

Immediately, ministers came, and no one dared to disobey the order of the Lord God. They arranged everything hastily.Thus ended the reign of the Demon Lord Amiens Phaethon, whose reign was short and mediocre, and the Consul Caesar was to rule over him.

A few days later, the demon king was buried.

On both sides of the dry road are carved stone statues, namely falcons, stags and lions. At the end of the dry road is a secluded church in the Devil Realm. The mausoleum is buried under the church. The cold stone tablet is in the shape of an inverse cross and is embedded in the wall. central.The church was temporarily renovated, and the original simple building was painted with a portrait of the devil and a map of the devil world when he was in power. Ironically, the devil in the portrait still wears a mask.

At the deliberate request of Amiens, there were few attendees at the funeral.More people thought that the consul was dissatisfied with the demon king and deliberately suppressed the scale of the funeral, so they wisely avoided joining in the fun.

The rain outside the church was still falling, and the angular outline of the beast was blurred in the mist.Amiens ordered his subordinates, "Go down first."

"Yes."

After dismissing his attendants, he stepped forward and stroked the cold stele, on which was engraved "Amiens Phaethon" in solemn characters.

"Amien Phaethon is dead, may he rest in peace forever." He said softly, "The name of the survivor is Caesar Phaethon, and he has another name, Orion Phaethon."

My name is engraved on your grave, and I will write your living life for you.

※※※

In the 221st year of the demon world calendar, the demon king passed away, and Caesar, the consul, succeeded to the throne.
