Salvation equals death

[Ding——Congratulations to the host for accepting the title "Son of Light" and completing the achievement "Hero of the Weak". 】

[Ding——congratulations to the host for obtaining the inheritance of the God of Light, including a new type of magic pattern [Vera Alex]. 】

[Ding——congratulations to the host for getting the bond gift, including the first seat of the first volume of the soul-printed bright magic pattern [Light God Alex]. 】

[In this world, your mission of saving the world has not been completed, but it is commendable that you have done a good job, somewhat beyond my expectations. 】

Floating in a dark space, Vera heard the system's cold praise ringing in her ears.

[Although you died before completing the task, the belief you gained this time is enough for you to have a brand new body, and I have already helped you find your next identity. 】

[Compared to Vera's mediocre body, this time's physical fitness is very strong, and her natural talent can be called terrifying. With the inheritance, you may be expected to become a pillar-level powerhouse in the world...]

Vera, who was half asleep and half awake, let out a breath slowly, and said with difficulty: "...give me a new body, I don't want to invade someone else's identity."

[It’s not considered intrusion-occupation, it’s just that the plane with the highest fault tolerance rate was selected from countless world lines. The character I chose for you has been deleted from the data, and you can just replace her and continue on. 】

【When you change the ending of a world, the timelines of all the worlds will be changed by your influence. It’s just a change of identity for you. Why bother? 】

"No..." Vera said stubbornly, "That person said that, as the reflection of a goddess, I can die for the salvation of the world, and I can give and sacrifice unconditionally, but 'I' must come."

【...You really haven't learned anything except being stubborn. Obviously, this will waste a lot of power of faith. Forget it, it's up to you. 】

Sacrifice for the sake of saving the world—that was the obsession of the goddess who reflected Vera.

That goddess loves this world tenderly and compassionately, without asking for anything in return, but she also does not hope that the people she loves will forget her—that kind of thing is really too sad.

Desiring to leave something behind, longing to be missed, such a small, selfishness--isn't it too much?

When Vera opened her eyes again, what she saw was the beautiful color of the blue sky. She was soaked in the liquid with the color of the sky, and the transparent foam floated around her body, as if she could hear the subtle "grunt" sound when it broke.

"After Vl-823 experienced eight gene outbreaks, his vital signs gradually increased after several weak pauses, showing signs of self-healing..."

"The number of gene outbreaks began to increase, frequently... It is preliminarily determined that the genes are gradually deteriorating..."

"Wait, the Vl-823 subject's vital signs are gradually increasing. As long as she can survive this gene outbreak, the possibility of forming antibodies to genetic diseases in her body may be greatly increased..."

"The fluctuations in the brain waves have increased. This may be related to the will and thoughts of the experimental subject itself. This matter should be reported to Master Zefern..."

"We have placed too many unnecessary hopes on this experimental subject. Are you still foolish enough to believe that will and thoughts can overcome the barrier between life and death caused by genetic diseases? It's simply absurd!"

"Crack-"

There was a sound like cracks in an eggshell, and Vera raised her eyes in a daze. Silver-white hair floated around her, and a pale face was reflected on the transparent glass cabin, with golden eyes shining brightly.

where is thisVera looked down at her hands, pale and slender fingers, almost transparent skin soaked in the liquid medicine, and blue and purple blood vessels under the flesh, all of which smelled sick and inhuman.

Vera was breathing normally through the breathing mask hanging down in the nutrition cabin, and the blue liquid medicine wrapped her in it, which was a bit cool.Only then did Vera realize that her body was covered with bandages, not clothes.

She looked at the blurred shadow reflected on the glass with some difficulty, the silver-white hair that almost covered her ankles, and the pure golden pupils like the scorching sun, but that petite and slender figure clearly belonged to Vera when she was ten years old. look like.

[This is the body of an unconscious clone, which is just right for you. Although it is not as talented as the one of the master, but... tsk, forget it. 】The system is disgusting and authentic, 【Since you refuse to use your original identity, then you have to be prepared to deal with the big villain.Remember to pretend to be mentally retarded for a while, you know? 】

Vera was at a loss: "?"

"System, the cross and the holy gun that my father gave me..." Vera cared more about the relics left by her father than the topic of whether she was mentally retarded or not.

[I don't know, it seems to be bound to your soul, tsk, it's too evil, what is the origin of that man named "Alex"? 】The system muttered.

Before Vera had time to ask about the current situation, she saw a white coat press a button, and then there was a short grunting sound in the nutrition compartment, and the water level of the blue liquid medicine gradually became shallower.

The people in the white coats were still chatting together, and the young man who was in charge of changing the liquid medicine felt a very presence-like gaze, but when he raised his head, he met Vera's golden eyes.

"Ah!" The young man in the white coat suddenly jumped up from his seat, rushed to the nutrition warehouse like crazy, and shouted out of control, "The experimental subject has awakened!"

After a period of turmoil, Vera was fished out of the nutrition barn, lying on the hospital bed, checked and tested, as if it was a miracle that she woke up.

Vera has no memory of the original owner of her body, nor does she know what the background of this world is, so she can only let the people around her do it in silence while flipping through the information given by the system in her mind.

What makes Vera feel a little confused is that this is still the world where her father once existed, but a thousand years have passed since the day of her death.

In the past 500 years, the history of the millennium holy war has passed. Human beings completely defeated the vampires and became the masters of this continent. The remaining blood races opened up the forbidden space and went to another unknown world.

The battle between humans and blood clans came to an end in a very tragic way. There were no strong human beings, and the ancestors of the thirteen clans of blood clans were almost wiped out. Some died at the hands of humans, and some died at the hands of their own children.

The thirteen clans cast a curse on all human beings when they were dying. Human beings are proud of their blood, so they want human beings to die because of their own blood.

In the beginning, human beings were really uneasy because of this curse for a long time, but after a long time, they also forgot about this dark and terrifying past, and turned this curse together with the vampires into a long-standing legend.

The millennium jihad has left the world in a state of ruin, and the rupture of cultural inheritance has also buried many magic lines and alchemy in the long history. Human beings have gradually developed a new technology, mathematical technology with energy as the core.

However, the good times didn’t last long. About 200 years ago, human beings discovered a new energy source in the universe, but unexpectedly, the energy came with radiation that mutated human genes. Therefore, Pandora, which has countless malice and curses sealed away. The magic box was opened—43.27% of the human beings in the human world are infected with genetic diseases. This disease has a long incubation period, but once it breaks out, it is irreversible, and people will turn into monsters who only know how to devour and kill.

The era of genetic pollution has officially arrived.

The lifespan of human beings infected with genetic diseases can be long or short. Those who are lucky will not develop disease for a lifetime, and those who are unlucky will turn into irrational monsters in just a few months.

The first stage of turning into a monster is called "gene explosion", and after that, the human body of the gene explosion will burst into a pollution source like a black hole, turning the surrounding land into scorched earth, and spreading the gene virus at the same time, this process is called "Gene fission".

Apart from staying away from pollution sources, human beings have no exact and effective measures to prevent or isolate genetic diseases, but the genetic diseases of parents will not be passed on to the next generation.

This has led to changes in the order of the world for the environment, human beings marry early and have children early, and reproduce as much as possible.

In this suffocating and crazy environment, people also regard death as normal, and their hearts are indifferent to the point of despair.

But the more desperate, the more people need faith.

An organization holding high the banner of the Holy Light was born. They have the heritage accumulated by the Holy See for thousands of years. They are named "Revelation". This organization is composed of more than a dozen families from different countries and regions. In just a few years, It has become a behemoth that everyone must look up to.And the purpose of this organization is not to rule, but to bring a glimmer of hope to the people who are addicted to this desperate world, and to set the order of chaos.

Although the Enlightenment organization is composed of more than a dozen families, it is actually divided into three major sections - the European and American domains headed by the "Kilupa" family; the East Asian domain headed by the "Ji" family and the "Jiang" family; and The "Shicha" clan in a chaotic area.

Abandoning the teachings and rules of all religions that have ever existed, the "Holy Light" believed by the "Apocalypse" organization is not a certain god with a name and a surname, but the hope and courage from the heart of human beings themselves.

Human beings can only believe in themselves.

"This is very good..." Vera muttered to herself, "This is very good, there is nothing wrong with it."

It is not a long-term way to rule the people with ignorance and make them blindly follow the faith. It is the foundation of faith to awaken the courage and hope buried in human hearts through certain methods, and to persuade people to actively do good.

[The place where you are now is a scientific research base belonging to the "Kilupa" family. The purpose of this scientific research base is to research out good medicines to suppress and cure genetic diseases. I also said that because you gave up becoming "Fasili Ya Kirupa", so I can only choose for you the exorcism of a replicant that hardly exists.But because the clone comes from Fasilia, you also have Kirupa's blood running through you. 】

At the beginning, Vera didn't understand why the system had to point this out, but when the group of white coats around her suddenly surrounded a young man, Vera suddenly understood.

The boy with silver hair and blond eyes came more and more, and his body was covered with brilliance. Even if he didn't smile, there was a lingering tenderness in his brows. He seemed gentle and amiable, but people couldn't read his emotions and thoughts.

What shocked Vera was that this young man called "Zeffen Kirupa" had a face that was five points similar to Alex's, and that kind of luxurious and graceful beauty that was almost overwhelming, as if he was born The noble and bright moon.

Vera stared blankly at Zevern, her gaze wandering over his brows and eyes, whether it was nostalgia or greed, this natural sluggishness met the system's requirement of "pretending to be mentally retarded".

Vera stared at Zevern, and Zevern was also looking at her. After a while, the boy raised the corners of his lips as if belatedly, revealing a three-point familiar and three-point intimate smile.

"What's the matter?...Vera?" Zefern said a name casually, inexplicably feeling that this simple and soft name is very suitable for the girl in front of him, "Don't you recognize my brother?"

System: [...Damn it!Host, don't panic!He is cheating on you!I am sure and positive that this clone has no conscious memory!He is definitely trying to trick you! 】

The system yelled with righteous indignation, but Vera came back to her senses. She lowered her eyes and raised her eyebrows, making a quiet and obedient gesture, but shook her head when Zevern asked, without saying a word.

The boy named "Zevern" didn't seem to be surprised by her taciturnity, he just sat down next to her, put his arms around her shoulders lightly, lowered his voice and said in a low voice whether it was coaxing or emotional: "Doesn't Vera remember?" ? I am your elder brother. Vera is sick, so I am recuperating here. Your name is 'Vera Kirupa', and you are our youngest sister. You have three older brothers and two older sisters..."

In Zevern's description, Vera was "instilled" with such a life experience-the direct descendants of this generation of "Kilupa" family have a total of six children, and Vera Kirupa is the youngest daughter in the family.

Although they are direct descendants of the family, they are only offspring bred under the oppression of a genetic disease. The few children in the family are at odds with each other, fighting to the death in private for the inheritance of the family.

Zevern and Vera are the youngest boy and girl in the family, brothers and sisters of the same mother. After the mother died of a genetic disease, they have been dependent on each other and have a very good relationship.

As the youngest direct disciple of the Kirupa family, Zephyrn and Vera have almost completely lost their inheritance rights, but Zefern is born smart, and he has an innate desire for knowledge, which makes him constantly explore the unknown .Over the years, because Zefern had put on an appearance of being obsessed with scientific research and knowledge, the two elder brothers gradually relaxed their vigilance towards him and allowed him to take over part of the drug research laboratory.

I thought that I could finally let my sister live a prosperous life with my own ability, but I didn't expect that the good times didn't last long, and my beloved sister was actually infected with a genetic disease.

Zevern narrated slowly, with clear logic and sincere emotion—if it wasn't for the system's rambling explanation, Vera might really be confused by the mask he showed.

[There are five direct descendants of this generation of the Kirupa family, the youngest is 17-year-old Zephyr, followed by 18-year-old Fasilia, who is the donor of your genes, but she is Zephyr's Sister instead of younger sister. 】

[Fasilia was indeed infected with a genetic disease and failed to survive it, but her special physique did not fission into a black hole, but was preserved intact, so she was used by Zevern for drug testing. 】

[Taking over the drug laboratory is not to make my sister live a prosperous life, but because——]

Unable to hear the system's voice, Zevern, who had been smiling gently, tilted his head slightly. The young man looked handsome, with a fair neck, and silver hair that hung down like a moonlight and was as long as his back, but it couldn't hide the black lines spreading on the side of his neck. .

[He himself was infected with a genetic disease. 】
