Chapter 201 Let's Fall Into the Abyss Together! (Two in One)

Boom——

The metal door of the majestic tower slammed shut.

All sounds were blocked within this extremely dark tower.

Hathaway stood up anxiously and rushed to the edge of the metal door, trying to push the door open.

However, all she received in response was the bone-cold touch of steel.

Not only did he lose the transcendence given by the elven bloodline.

When Char left her, he also set up a magic circle to ban magic in this deserted tower, so that all spells would be ineffective as soon as they were spoken.

Hathaway here is just an ordinary elf.

Just like Xia Ya's rather solemn "goodbye".

That metal door is like an eternal barrier.

Separating Hathaway and Char into two worlds.

…

Around Xia Ya, all the scenes and things were disintegrating and falling apart.

Whether it's the hot setting sun or the blue and clear sky.

Or maybe it was the city that was bustling and bustling before, but now it seemed a little quiet under the sunset.

Everything is becoming illusory.

Then, it burst like a bubble.

Some flew away, some peeled off downwards, and the wind carried the roar of things shattering.

The darkness of night, and the deathly silence that followed, shrouded the world again.

This is a natural sight.

This city where the Arcane Festival is being held is not a real city, but a scene created by Char using illusions to embody the fantasy in the spiritual ocean.

Just like the city of Atlantis in the fairy tale.

This flooded city only reappears in the mist for one day every hundred years.

On this day, the residents of Atlantis live and work in peace and contentment as they did the night before they were swallowed up by the flood, singing and dancing. Occasionally passing by, tourists who mistakenly enter will think that they have entered a real place that has not been recorded on the map. city ​​of.

And when this day passes, everything in this city will turn into foam in the rising sun, and everything will return to nothingness.

"Time is up."

A peaceful voice sounded behind Char.

Xia Ya turned around and looked at the black iron throne behind him.

On top of the Black Iron Throne, the illusory human figure is sleeping. Although it still maintains a sitting posture at this moment, it can make people feel——

He has awakened.

Suddenly, the hazy feeling covering his face dissipated, allowing Xia Ya to see the other person's appearance clearly.

The appearance of this old sun god is constantly alternating between illusion and reality.

Those are two completely opposite attitudes.

One is the extremely handsome elf face, with pointed and slender ears, which shows the facial features of the elves to the extreme, so handsome that it is difficult to distinguish between male and female.

He was clothed in rich attire, and upon His head was a crown of radiance.

This is the current body of the old sun god, the appearance of the Elf King, the former master of the Elf Royal Court.

And another kind of appearance between illusion and reality frightened Xia Ya.

It looked like a human boy, just like Char himself.

"Are you done? Those things you still can't let go of."

"If you still have unresolved regrets, it doesn't hurt if I give you some more time."

The illusory voice sounded again, a little less majestic, but a little more gentle and somewhat similar to Xia Ya.

Xia looked at the figure on the black iron throne that was constantly changing between illusion and reality, and then looked back at the black tower that still existed in the illusion of the disintegrated city and had not dissipated together, and smiled.

"No."

"Everything that needs to be done has been done."

"If we continue to be entangled, it will only make the parting more muddled and not pleasant enough."

"and--"

Xia Ya looked at the old sun god calmly: "Compared to several other true gods I have ever seen -"

"You feel more human to me at this moment."

The shadow on the throne was not surprised, but said calmly: "Pursuing divinity blindly and stripping away humanity is actually the wrong path, and will only lead to loss of control and madness in the end. This is what I spent thousands of years in the era of glory. A fact proven by years of time and painful costs.”

"The rest of the mythical creatures have not understood this, and will naturally continue to walk on this path of constantly collecting divinity, sinking deeper and deeper."

"Since I know that I was wrong, but now I choose to abandon the previous wrong path and replace it with a brand new container, then I will naturally make adjustments and corrections."

"According to my current thinking, there is no such thing as superiority or inferiority between divinity and humanity."

"Strong power and authority represent the tendency to disorder and madness. In this case, the human side needs to be stabilized..."

"This method can be used in many ways, such as strengthening the emotional side and improving empathy with the spiritual world, or using the believer's approach to relate and anchor self-perception to the image created by the believer."

The old sun god readily admitted his previous mistakes.

"And there is also a so-called integration between the soul and the body."

"Although my status is much higher than yours, in order for the body after the fusion to be flawless, I naturally need to actively correct myself to fit in with you."

The illusory appearance of the old sun god began to gradually become stable.

The handsome appearance belonging to the elf king lasted less and less time, while the appearance of the human boy became more and more.

He stretched out his hand lightly, obviously without any practical action, but Xia Ya felt that the distance between him and the other party had become a little closer in an instant.

"The illusion you created just now is very interesting."

"Although it seems to be a fantasy, something somewhere between illusion, it can temporarily blur the boundaries between reality and illusion, interfering with reality with ethereal fantasies and thoughts."

"Is this what is called magic?"

Xia Ya nodded: "Of course."

“Distort reality and reshape nature.”

"Such magnificent human wonders are the true meaning of magic, blurring the boundaries between real things and fake things, turning fantasy into reality."

“Interesting road.”

The shadow on the throne did not hide his appreciation at all.

"Although in terms of sheer size, the magic you displayed is still far from the path to becoming a god by collecting divinity and authority."

"However, from it, I saw a bright path that is not inferior to ascending to the gods."

"When you and I become one, I will study its secrets."

"Perhaps compared to the road to becoming a god, this road called magic and arcana has just now had a better chance of reaching that higher realm."

Xia Ya smiled: "It is an honor for me to be praised so much by the Creator of the glorious era."

During the conversation, the illusory figure had already stood up from the black iron seat.

There was no pressure or fluctuation at all, but he just walked to Xia Ya step by step.

He raised his eyes indifferently and looked at Xia Ya carefully. After a moment, he showed a satisfied look.

I am satisfied with the excellence and strength of the body I am about to obtain.

Even in that era when He himself was sitting on the throne of heaven, overlooking all living beings, he had never seen such excellent material.

But he didn't expect that after the cataclysm in which He self-destructed, it should have been an era when all souls withered and civilization declined.

But once again, he was allowed to see such an existence in front of him that even the old Sun God's knowledge was enough to call it amazing.

"Actually, you don't need to resist."

"For you, this is not the misfortune and disaster you imagined, but a great opportunity."

He spoke calmly.

"It's a win-win deal for both parties."

"Whether it's you, me, or the little golden elf girl you care about, we can all get a perfect and happy ending."

"And the only price you have to pay is just the short sleep before I return to the throne of heaven."

"Can everyone get a happy ending?"

Chara smiled.

He didn't resist, and there was a bit of calmness in his words.

"Waiting for you to return to the Heavenly Seat... and then help me rebuild my body. That kind of thing is too far away, and I don't even have the luxury to hope for it."

"My only request is that after you get what you want, you can give Hathaway her freedom."

"Of course."

The old sun god stood in front of Char, as if unwilling to delay any longer, he gently pointed his finger.

"As far as I am concerned, the elves in the Elf Royal Court have lost their use value."

"There is no need for me to break the contract with you for something worthless and suffer possible backlash from you."

"That's it, that's enough."

Chara closed her eyes.

As if he had completely given up resistance, he let the finger of the old god fall to his eyebrows and spoke in a low voice.

"Since you want it."

"Then take it."

The handsome Elf King had a smile on his face.

That light finger landed on Xia Ya's eyebrows.

Then - from the decayed body of the Elf King, the vast sea of ​​will surged towards Char's spiritual world like a river.

The gray-black cloud that represented Char's self-will did not reject this external will, but seemed to recognize his fate and allowed the vast will of the old sun god to leave the nearly decayed body of the original Elf King. , and entered into his own spiritual world.

Even with the knowledge of this old sun god, a hint of joy could not help but emerge from the depths of his will at this moment.

Crossing the barrier of Char's self-awareness and entering his spiritual world.

By doing this, His plan has been mostly successful.

Next, we only need to erase Char's self-will in this spiritual world.

He can completely replace Char and become the new owner of this nearly perfect container.

As for Char's previous promise to retain his self-awareness and wait until he had the opportunity to rebuild his body... that was naturally just talk.

No matter what, Char is the real owner of this body.

If he really retains his self-will, if the other party suddenly goes back on his word at the critical moment when he is fighting other mythical creatures and fights for control of his body, it is likely that a new turmoil and change will occur.

Even though the probability is very small... As the former owner of the Heavenly Throne, the old Sun God naturally wants to minimize all risks.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?

However, that is at the same time.

The old sun god suddenly noticed that in the spiritual ocean, Naxia's self-conscious body opened its eyes.

Then, he looked at himself.

"Actually, you are not sure about re-entering the throne of that day."

"After all, from the beginning to the end, you have been claiming to be the creator of the glorious era, the sun god of the past."

"But the real you...is just the residue abandoned by the true Creator."

"A genuine one——"

"It's just a fake."

…

In the illusory spiritual world, the majestic phantom of the Elf King paused for a moment.

"Most of the secret information you stated is true."

"But you only hid one thing."

The gray-black mist formed, representing Char's self-will, whispered softly in the spiritual world.

"The Creator of the glorious era is named after the Sun God."

"No matter how He realized that there was a flaw in His own path and chose to abandon the excess divinity and cut off the excess authority...how could He possibly abandon the authority of the blazing sun itself?"

"And this lost island shrouded in the curtain of eternal night is exactly the opposite of the name of the Sun God."

Xia Ya looked at the incomparably handsome Elf King Will in front of him and said calmly.

"So, exactly the opposite of what you're describing."

"The real you is actually just the disordered and crazy part that was abandoned by the sun god, and is just the residue that will be thrown into the trash can."

"It's just that the creator's madness and loss of control are more serious than imagined. As the disordered side, you are also prepared."

"For example, the elf royal court and the back-up man of all the elves... Or, for example, the elf king who is secretly controlled by you as the new container..."

Hearing Char's words, the Elf King's will was not surprising.

"Fake... maybe..."

"It's just that the dividing line between genuine and fake has never been so clear."

"If I can revive first, devour him and replace him...then I will be the real one, and he will be the fake."

"And your excellence made me see that possibility."

He shook his head indifferently and looked down at Xia Ya's consciousness in front of him: "What you just said now can't change anything, and it doesn't have any meaning."

All of his will has entered Xia's spiritual world.

It is true that the spiritual body of the young man in front of him is very deep and powerful.

It exceeded his previous expectations and had a strength that was almost comparable to that of a real mythical creature.

However, in front of the completely revived Elf King, it was still inevitable to be eroded and swallowed up, and its fate was ultimately wiped out.

It's nothing more than the length of time it takes.

Having been sleeping on the Lost Island for thousands of years, he naturally has enough patience and confidence to spend time with Char.

"Pointless……"

"maybe."

Xia Ya smiled lightly.

"Really, the news itself doesn't change anything."

"And the reason why I say this is actually just to embolden myself."

He stroked his chest.

"After all, when I do things on weekdays, I always make full preparations. I have a 100% chance of winning and I have arranged multiple escape routes before I act."

"It's a very rare exception to do something that you're not sure about like today."

"I always unconsciously try to find some comfort for myself."

"Theoretically speaking, the fake version of Big BOSS is easier to create than the original version."

"Of course, this is nothing more than turning a desperate situation of ten deaths into a narrow escape."

Xia Ya chuckled like this.

It was clear that it had already dimmed, as if it had given up the hope of living and was no longer struggling in its dead eyes.

At this moment, there was a faint light flickering.

"But, it's not Noraml End or True End."

"But, for my teacher's Happy End..."

"There's always something-"

"It has to be done."

He just looked quietly at the phantom of the Elf King in the spiritual world that had begun to spread the vast sea of ​​will and was constantly eroding his own spiritual world and trying to rewrite Char's self-perception.

Then--

He put his left hand on his chest, leaned back, and slowly fell down.

Not just a body of consciousness in a spiritual ocean.

Together with Char's body in the fragmented plane of the World Tree, they also fell backwards and fell.

What does he want to do?

Such doubts could not help but arise in the mind of the old sun god.

The fragments of the World Tree belong to His world.

Xia's approach could not allow him to escape from this world tree fragment plane at all.

However--

The next moment.

The hot and bright silver spear light pierced the dark curtain among the fragments of the World Tree.

The dark palace was torn into pieces, and the secondary dimensions formed by the branches of this world were penetrated together.

Among the fragments of the collapsed palace.

Char, in this way, brought the Elf King with all his will and divinity into his spiritual world.

Heading towards the broken palace——

The endless dead silence fell away.

Only the boy's voice remained.

It echoed throughout the broken palace and the Lost Island.

"with me--"

"Let's fall into the abyss together."
