Chapter 251: The Final Fruit

That's... a word that doesn't contain any supernatural power.

Neither from the secrets before the Second Epoch, nor from the knowledge of other worlds.

It's just repeating the holy pact that Elle made.

That was at the end of the gallery's nightmare, the first cry of the dead Alley and the newborn Angelo—

In Annan's chant, many lines were cracked again on the gray sky that had been torn apart. Just like when glass is shattered... iridescent light overflows from it, turning into chains and binding on the gray, two-faced giant demon god.

It was a chain that the power of the oath and curse from the "Holy Pledge" was transformed into.

It was the chains that stopped the movement of the gray boy raising his fists high and ready to smash... not Annan's chant itself.

"—I curse you, you will eventually be betrayed by your dreams. You will be exhausted, withered, betrayed...until you finally betray your dreams.

"I curse you too... The dream betrayed by you will surely turn into your greatest curse, your deepest nightmare. It will haunt you for the rest of your life who gave it up, and you will wake up from the nightmare... for everything you abandoned regret for life."

Annan sighed slowly: "This is... Alley's holy deed."

It was a curse no one knew, no one saw.

——Except Annan, who is the keeper of secrets.

Even the skeleton man could not hear the content of this secret.

until now.

More and more iridescent chains protruded from the cracks above the sky, bound to the gray giant.

It was a curse that descended from the [past].

The laughing half of the boy's face was angry and roared, while the crying half of his face was still crying quietly... and did not make any resistance.

Many glass-like iridescent chains protruded from the cracks. With so many cracks, the gray sky itself is drenched in iridescence...

"This is your own power... Midas."

And "Ai Lei" just raised her head and sighed softly: "Angelo is your work. It is because of her unique relationship with you that this curse can be so clearly reflected on you... just like the umbilical cord. connected relationship.”

The "Angelo's Umbilical Cord" found in the gallery is an imaginary organ that connects man to God.

It was originally the backhand used by the Skeleton Lord to occupy Angelo's body, but it made him so closely connected with Angelo - it could even span time and go back to the beginning.

If other gods "betrayed others because of their dreams", with the power Angelo possesses, this curse cannot be completely bound to it.

But only Elle—or Angelo, was different.

Or, only the skeleton at this moment is different...

Because Duke Bone had already abandoned his original body.

--Yes.

He was a nightmare that he was sucked into when he was inside Ellie's body... Therefore, this is Ellie's own body, a curse on herself.

Yet at this moment.

The gray giant phantom, whose upper body can only be seen in the entire sky, roared in rage again:

【traitor--】

【No--】

His roar was like thunder.

Rumble.

The gray, gigantic right fist of the Demon God suddenly exerted force, breaking the rainbow-colored chain bound to the right arm in an instant, and smashed it heavily to the ground:

【——Dream can be said! 】

like a tsunami.

The entire earth was torn apart by the shock wave, and it was lifted straight up like a tidal wave. The smog was shaken into the sky, and the yellow dust like a sandstorm stirred into the sky.

And at this moment-

The power of the earth was suddenly defeated by an invisible force, and the rock wall rose in front of Elle.

That's the rock strike technique used by wandering children.

And a corner of the sky suddenly turned crimson.

The flaming giant meteor was dragged down by Arthur at an inclination—with a sharp whistling sound, it smashed towards the phantom of the gray demon god.

The centaur girl holding a huge bow and arrow raised the bow and shot a dazzling arrow.

The single-clothed Juggernaut meditated for a long time—in an instant, he opened his eyes and struck out an attack that seemed to spread the heavens and the earth.

It was a support attack from the other Purifiers.

But for the Skeleton Lord, who had already revealed the true body of God, these attacks were meaningless.

He just roared furiously, as if sweeping all the pieces on the chessboard down, sweeping these attacks with his right arm.

A dark gray, supernova-like burst of light destroys these attacks with ease.

But above the sky, more rainbow-colored chains pierced through the void and were nailed to his right arm.

The tips of these chains are sharp and slender spikes. When they were nailed into the body of the demon god, scenes of the "past" flashed past Annan's eyes.

——That is being devoured by the truth, Duke Bone...or the memory of Duke Eternal Life.

Looking at those memories... Finally, Annan sighed deeply.

It turned out to be so.

As such.

Midas' struggle is meaningless.

Celicia on the side will choose to launch an offensive at this time, presumably both she and the centaurs have seen it...

——I saw the final defeat of Duke Bone.

"...Are you still wondering, when did you... ignore morality for the sake of your dreams, transgress the law for the sake of your dreams, and betray your loved ones for the sake of your dreams?"

"Ai Lei" looked at the giant bound by the chains and asked again.

That was not a "word bomb" used to attack Duke Bone.

It's just... an "answer" that wants to clear up his doubts.

"That's destiny... a given destiny. Of course, it might also be called the [Final Fruit]."

The Bone Lord did not know Angelo's holy deed;

Angelo didn't know the past of Duke Bone either.

It is precisely because of this passing coincidence... that this scene happened today.

"Perhaps even you yourself have forgotten... what your real dreams were when you were young."

The rainbow-colored chains further attacked from the crack in the air.

They were nailed to the limbs, wrapped around the arms... Slowly and firmly dragging the gray devil to the ground.

Finally, the demon fell to the ground.

Only then did they finally see what the decoration on the gray demon god was.

He was clad in a majestic white-gold armor, and the twisted and painful faces of countless dead souls slowly flowed on the surface of the armor like a cloud. From a distance, it turned out to be a grey relief.

——That is the soul of the giants locked in the body by the skeleton man.

The ancient giants are not extraordinary races... This flowing soul is the foundation of Duke Bone becoming a god.

He passed the "subjugation of the country" ceremony and adhered [the death of a country] to his body surface. As a result, the deceased obtained a mobile supernatural soul equivalent to the silver rank... It is precisely with the skeleton as the "seedbed" and the undead of a country as the filler, the eternal life has the possibility of becoming a god.

But for the deceased, this was by no means a blessing.

This means that they also suffer endless torture after death. The pain they suffered is the confirmation of the "betrayal" by Duke Bone.

But when the skeleton master who possesses "Death of a Nation" faces the pulling of this thin and fragile rainbow-colored chain...

He felt so powerless.

His eyes overflowed with disbelief.

[This is impossible... Your truth cannot be more perfect than mine! 】

【My life is full of betrayal! I have clearly betrayed everyone, and I have been betrayed by everyone! And you-

【—You dare not even betray a single person, Elle! You have not even grasped the fur of betrayal! 】

[You haven't even done a good job of being an extraordinary person, how dare you embark on the path of extraordinaryness? 】

"...you think so."

"Ai Lei" sighed deeply: "You really...

"Did you dive deeper than Elle?"

She walked over slowly, and the dust stirred up by the body of the fallen demon separated from her sides, and did not stain the white dress at all.

Soon, "Ai Lei" stretched out her hand and pressed it against the gray devil's forehead.

"If you really forgot...then let's take a look."
