Volume 15: Organisms and Organisms and Organisms Chapter 21: Eternal Night (Part 2)
"Why, why did this happen?!"
Why do you always appear in front of me? Why can't I kill you? Why do you always appear in front of me in a twisted state?
Looking at the ten spots of light floating in the sky, Overlord Leon, one of the strongest men on the planet, let out a wail as he looked at his body riddled with holes.
Overlord Leon's proud and perfect body was pierced by countless crystal branches and nailed directly to the ground. Dark golden blood flowed along the branches into the surrounding red soil. The surrounding wild and unrestrained palace was occupied by countless crystal branches. It seemed that the imaginary blue branches kept crawling and spreading from the void, extending from the back of the heads of those light spots, rolling their bodies like some disgusting living creatures, and making bursts of growing chirps.
He could sense the abnormality of this night, but he didn't expect that there was no way to overcome this terrifying abnormality. Leon's magic skill of self-preservation allowed him to be at the peak of his life at any time and anywhere, as if time and space were frozen, and then he could easily tear his enemies into pieces.
But this ability seemed to be like a lighter in a child's hand and a torch in the hand of an arsonist when facing a higher level of time and space reset. The difference was simply a world of difference. The self-preservation skill that he was proud of was more like a kind of torture, always appearing when he was least needed, and then giving him the greatest pain. He even remembered clearly every time something happened in so many reincarnations, as well as the final result after each victory. The seemingly unlimited reincarnation made this strong fall into despair.
At first, they were just a few stumbling children. Although the anti-gravity looked a little unusual, they were just a group of children after all, without any special abilities or innate magical powers. Although they miraculously bypassed all the protective nets and appeared in front of him, the weak are still the weak. Leon was very elegant and mercilessly bestowed equal destruction on these girls.
Then came the beginning of despair.
Every time these girls die, a reincarnation begins.
With each reincarnation, these attackers would become stronger. And every time, they would appear from inexplicable places. It was like someone suddenly inserted a frame into a coherent picture. The inexplicable feeling made people feel at a loss. And with the continuous death, the breath of the girl who was still human at the beginning gradually became strange and sharp, like a weapon that was gradually sharpened.
Originally, Leon had planned to take his time and find a chance to find the mastermind behind them after seeing this , but the weird thing was that he didn't even kill these girls, but the overall time would automatically reset after a certain period of time. Because of the problem of self-preservation, he had all the memories since the reset, but what made him feel more desperate and painful was that this was not the arrival of an opportunity or the beginning of hope, on the contrary, it was the beginning of an infinite curse. Because the damn time reset did not start when he was enjoying blood alone, but from the time of the attack.
In other words, even if he had a head full of memories, he couldn't escape the attack, because the chains of time had already been locked. When he woke up, the attack began, and when he killed the enemy, it meant the second wave of stronger enemies would come. This cycle seemed to last forever, with no end in sight.
By now, it seemed that all resistance from other places had dissipated, and an unprecedented team of ten had completely defeated him in a matter of minutes, leaving him hanging on the bloody beam he had once been so proud of.
But the Blood Hell Overlord was unwilling to accept such an inexplicable ending. Instead, he glared at the ten people in the sky and let out waves of unwilling shouts.
"Who on earth are you? Who on earth do you serve? What do you want? What on earth do you do?"
"You want money? You want treasure? You want slaves? I can do anything! But tell me! Why!"
"Why do you have to come out of time again and again to fight me! Why do you do this!?"
“…”
Faced with the loser's angry shouts, the ten points of light whose branches continued to spread across the sky didn't seem to notice.
These messengers, whose humanity and will had been wiped out, flapped their extremely terrifying wings behind them. Ice-like branches spread out from behind their heads and on the palms and soles of their feet, as if piercing through some false curtain, passing through the veil of that world and reaching the void that Leon could not understand.
At the same time, he was surprised to find that his body, which had never felt pain or other feelings due to self-preservation, had a long-lost feeling of warmth. The inexplicable warmth was like the taste of home felt by a traveler far away, gradually becoming softer and brighter, exuding a charming smell. In the void where the branches intertwined, it seemed that something was gradually brewing, which made Ren feel an inexplicable tension.
"There is no need to be sad or afraid. Your death is already a foregone conclusion. This ending has already been recorded in the Akashic Records."
When Leon was immersed in this gentle light, a cold and crisp voice sounded in his mind. He quickly realized that it was one of the ten people in the sky, whose wings had been torn apart by him in the battle, but he didn't seem to care, and instead explained everything in front of him.
"We are merely judges and apostles. We are the merciful ones who bring you the doomed destruction. Everything on this planet is already beyond repair, but father feels a glimmer of hope in this world. It is the starting point, the place of conflict, the cradle where gods were born, and the cemetery where gods were buried. All of this is the most suitable ritual site for father's power. This will also be the first step for father to officially step into that level."
"What father? What are you saying..."
Looking at the ray of light dotted out from the branches spreading out from the void, the Blood Hell Overlord, who was originally about to yell at something, stood there in a daze after watching this scene.
The light was too gentle and dazzling, yet it had a kind of loneliness and cold paleness, as if something that should not be in this world appeared in this world. Just by witnessing the brilliance inside the deep branches, Leon had lost the ability to speak, staring at the light with his eyes wide open.
