In the face of Annan's calm rhetorical question, the gray demon god did not say anything.

He just sighed deeply.

The other side of the face, which was always changing, finally became sad. It's like the other face He weeps all the time.

The next moment, the cracked demon god finally shattered and disintegrated.

Like gray petals, like moths.

The fragments that were dissociated from Him fluttered without the wind. A huge tornado was formed...... Blowing into the distant sky.

And underneath it is a white-haired boy standing in place, with cracks all over his body.

He looked extraordinarily thin.

If you look closely, it is still the same as before he took over the identity of "Eternal Father".

This is a nightmare world built by the wishes of many people.

This probably means......

Midas's deepest wish now is to hope that he will not become an "eternal father" back then.

“…… Can I talk to Elle? ”

The white-haired boy opened and closed his mouth, and was silent for a long time before whispering.

"Elle" blinked.

He didn't respond immediately, but asked in his heart:

"What do you think, Elle?"

【…… Let me say goodbye to him]

Elle whispered.

Hearing this, Annan didn't say a word, and immediately closed his eyes.

The body has not been returned at any time before......

At this time, Annan lifted his ritual. Give it back to Elle.

His consciousness was instantly kicked back to the outside world - and then Annan didn't say a word, and returned to the nightmare through the eyes of the melon-eating players.

But this time, what he's focused on ...... It's a world from a different perspective.

…… Hey?

Annan noticed that in Longjing Tea's view...... He couldn't see the iridescent glow that overflowed from the many wounds on the young Midas's body. The wounds on Midas's body were like voids devouring the light around them, as dark as a starless starry sky.

Or rather, he couldn't see the iridescent light that represented Elle's side at all—the gray light that belonged to the skeleton could be seen clearly.

What is this mechanism?

"The Book of Atonement ......"

Young Midas repeated the name, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

“…… Have you ever sinned? ”

Eventually, he asked, "Angelo...... No, even Elle - what's your sin?

"If you have not committed a sin from the beginning, how can you atone for your sins? You're just a baby less than half a year old who inherited the memories of a girl...... In this way, you can also master the "Book of Atonement"? ”

After Annan's departure.

Elle's temperament has obviously changed.

She is no longer the kind of free and easy girl who is like a queen, does not squint, and is full of majestic aura. Instead, they became a little nervous...... The gaze is even a little dodgy, and there are even some small movements of the fingers.

But in the face of the young Midas's questioning.

But she didn't have the slightest fear.

"Yes, I will atone for my sins."

These were the first words that Elle Angelo said after she regained her body.

Her voice was much quieter than Annan's.

But the willpower in that words made her words seem so believable.

"Just now, I have made up my mind that the rest of my life will be a life of atonement."

"What sin have you atoned for? What are your sins? ”

"I will atone for your sins."

Elle whispered, "My ...... Father. ”

The sound of the father made the white-haired boy stunned in place.

But Elle, or Angelo, was emboldened.

The more she spoke, the more daring she became, and the more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became:

"You're my father anyway...... It's Angelo's father. Even if you don't want to admit me, even if you just want my body...... But you are also my father. You gave me life.

"My mother is Elle, and my life and memories are passed down to 'Elle'. I am another flower that blooms on a branch called Elle. Of course I remember Elle's hatred for you...... I also knew that my birth was just the beginning of a tragedy, just a complete mistake.

"But I guess, since I was born wrong...... I can't go wrong in my life.

"I also thought about the point of dedicating my body to you. But Annan said...... I am not the inheritor of someone's dreams, nor am I the agent of someone else's will. The child named Elle is dead...... I'm not a kid and I have to pay for my choices.

"That's when I realized ...... After you become the god of betrayal, you will be wrong again and again. I am the beginning of tragedy, but not the end of tragedy, and you will recreate all the curses, pains, hatreds, and nightmares you have experienced in others......

"If I give up resistance. That's my retribution—the price I paid for my wrong choices. ”

For the first time, Elle's voice became powerful.

It was a very different voice from Annan...... Her right hand clenched in front of her chest, and her pupils sparkled.

And the expression of the young Midas became extremely complicated.

He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.

Eventually, he kept his mouth shut and waited for Elle to continue.

"The Father pays the debt of the Son—yes, no one compels me, no one commands me. This is a debt that I voluntarily took on my part. I just want to...... The tragedy that happened to me cannot be repeated in someone else.

"I will inherit the truth of 'betrayal' and atone for all the sins you have done, Father. I will watch over the world, and may the tragedy that happened to you and to me never happen again. ”

Elle looked directly at Midas and said steadfastly, "I will cut the chain of all this tragedy. ”

Annan, who watched this scene through the eyes of Longjing Tea, also sighed deeply.

There are people who have suffered their own sins and want to see others suffer the same sins as themselves...... This is understandable.

But there are still those who, after suffering their own sin, hope that others will no longer suffer.

This may be Midas and Elle Angelo...... The biggest difference.

Under the gaze of Midas, under the gaze of all.

Elle Angelo uttered a new vow, word by word:

"I will have compassion on all beings and care for the weak;

"I will be impartial and law-abiding;

"I will always have justice and love in my heart;

"I will be the one who will eliminate the most pain, and I will be the one who will make the greatest happiness......"

It was only Midas, who had just a complicated expression, that his pupils suddenly tightened.

The expression on his face changed to stunned, shocked, and sad.

— that was the oath he had made and renounced.

This oath had long since turned into a curse, deeply entangled in his veins. It wasn't until he became a god that he covered it with the power of the Holy Covenant.

And now...... Elle Angelo retrieved the curse from her bloodline and turned it into a holy pact.

- What you didn't do back then, I'll do it.

In her pupils, she said this sentence very clearly.

That strong will even shook Midas.

She will receive the body of a god, like an eternal fire, no longer burning. This may be the biggest difference between her and the former Eternal Father.

Elleson said.

Convey this harsh covenant to everyone present.

It was only then that Midas sighed deeply.

He rests in peace...... Slowly closed his eyes.

- Actually, he also had a final backstab.

The curse of killing all his offspring with his own hands has long been haunted in the depths of his soul...... If they give up reincarnation, they can also use this curse and use the kinship of their souls to forcibly kill Elle here.

At that time, he will be reborn somewhere in the world at the same time as Elle. The twins of good and evil will once again compete together for the title of the Book of Atonement......

But he eventually gave up.

Maybe it was because I remembered the weight of my father's sword.

Maybe I felt that the temperature of the sunset should not be so cold that day.

Or maybe it's just nearly 500 years late...... The inheritance of the former "Eternal Life Gong" again.

“…… In order to ensure that something is remembered, one can always die a little more. ”

He thought to himself and closed his eyes.

The moment he renounced his qualifications, the world shattered.

And the last sentence of Angelo's Holy Deed is still echoing in the air:

"I'm going to do my best—"

- Death to it.
