There is no shame.

There was no resistance or irritation.

The white-haired, white-dressed, pale, emaciated, pale phantom-like boy had no such thing as "self-esteem."

Or rather, when he transformed himself into an undead...... All self-esteem and glory were completely shattered at that time.

"A life full of regret and shame. A meaningless way of living. It's like a joke...... Clown blood. ”

The boy whispered, breathing deeply.

"I-"

He paused slightly, and slowly exhaled a cold breath.

With the Eternal Life Gong as the center, the surrounding wheat fields suddenly dented, as if they were being attacked by air cannons. Immediately after, frost fell on it—and in an instant, the golden wheat fields were covered with dry white frost marks.

It's like talking while puffing out smoke after smoking.

The boy's voice became hoarse, and a chill naturally overflowed between his lips and teeth.

"I ...... It's long since 'dead'. ”

When the object of "eternal life" is transformed into "bones", when the tower of eternal life is transformed into a tombstone...... When he became Him, Midas's heart was utterly dead.

"It doesn't matter if you're beaten to the point of vomiting blood. It doesn't matter if my head is trampled underfoot. Slit open my stomach and take out my guts...... Even if it was poured on me with feces and urine, I would pretend I couldn't see it. I can laugh at you, too. ”

The pale boy said, with a student-like, somewhat shy smile: "Look—that's the kind of smile." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I played my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather...... At the same time, he also played my son, my grandson, my great-grandson, and has been doing this for 200 years.

“…… That's just it. ”

He whispered, "I have sacrificed [honor], [dignity], [dreams], [family], and [peace]...... In the end, all that you get after the sacrifice is sacrificed. In my journey of sacrifice to make an offering to nothingness, the offering of 'dignity' is the least heart-wrenching for me. ”

- His heart is already dead.

Annan was deeply aware of this.

Opposite the Eternal Father, the blonde girl in the white dress looked at him with her hands behind her back, full of pity and quietness.

It was a calm gaze when I looked back after seeing everything clearly. Condescending, as calm as a screenwriter reviewing a script.

"No response, Frost Whisper."

The boy sighed: "I really didn't expect you to enter this nightmare. Of course, maybe I also thought of ...... [Destiny is the Wheel of the Heavenly Wheel], and I also know that sentence. Can...... Scold...... Who knows. ”

He said, pausing.

Then, Yongsheng Gong spoke again: "Actually, when I saw you for the first time, I already had a premonition. So in that moment, I wanted to kill you...... But in the end, I just took the book.

"But you know it all eventually...... Saw everything clearly and came to my eyes. ”

"Other than that, I'm going to stop this."

The blonde girl squinted her eyes and made a pleasant, soft voice in the moonless night.

"Elle...... No, Angelo. I've asked you many times. ”

"Elle" asked word by word, "It's almost midnight, I'll ask you again......

"Y-believe me?"

There was a brief silence.

Three seconds of eternal lag.

Then, Elle gave the answer.

【Yes】

She was firm and resolute, and gave her final answer.

[I believe in you—no matter what difficulties I encounter, no matter what situation I find myself in...... No matter what the situation, no matter what anyone says, no matter what I've been through – I'll trust you alone.

Rebelled against the angels and used honorifics for his own pope.

It was not an attitude towards the Pope, but a reverence for a trusted elder.

"Then let zero come in, Elle."

Annan said word by word: "I swear...... You will be safe. ”

As he spoke.

The clock has already struck zero o'clock.

But—

"Elle's" eyes gradually overflowed with rainbow brilliance.

It was a light that burned like a candle.

- This time, time has not returned.

Beside Elle, the world was scribbled in the blink of an eye with an iridescent glow. The streamers, which seem to be embedded in the "deep" layers of the world, are also raised high like "wings".

And in the face of all this.

The white-haired and white-clothed young man on the other side just sighed deeply.

"It's ridiculous."

He whispered, "God is not like God. People are not like people. A betrayer is not like a betrayer. A secret keeper is not like a secret keeper.

"Angelo, you are my angel, my daughter......

"—You were born of me. With your strength, how can you fight me? ”

He said.

The young man's pale face suddenly shattered.

Like shattered porcelain—in the cracks, there was a gray color that didn't quite match Elle's.

But the amount of light is several times, dozens of times, of Elle's.

Just a crack is exposed, and the light in it is enough to illuminate the "night".

"Each of us is born on the earth, born in old age, sick and dead."

"Elle" took over and replied in a leisurely voice, "But we will leave the earth eventually.

"We're not going to age anymore. We will never get sick again. We're going to ...... No more death.

"We have come from the wilderness of nothingness and are heading out for the land of all...... Humanity has reached the point where we have sacrificed and given up more in the past than you have, and will continue to be more than you are.

"Until the farthest future, we will give up everything we have now. Everything in front of you will be history.

"But that's not a betrayal—"

- It is an immortal bird, reborn in the fire.

Elle's voice gradually echoed heavily.

The next moment, a rainbow-colored angel rose into the air.

She fell to the ground in an instant, like a shooting star.

Eternal Gong simply raised a left hand, and the gray light that overflowed from the shattered skin flew out like a monster, bringing her to a halt in the void.

The same truth of rainbow and rainbow, when they come into contact, they clash and merge—

The whole nightmare collapsed and reconstructed, half colorful fairy tale, half gray mime.

But in the end, it was the light that overflowed from the Eternal Life Gong that was superior.

His voice was tinted with echoes and high-pitched metallic.

[Angelo, I betrayed everyone! 】

He boasted.

Gray, absurd monsters rumbled from top to bottom and crushed a corner of the sky. The whole world is like a broken specimen bottle.

It was like an abstract, half-weeping, half-giggling teenager. The smiling half of his face kept changing the picture, but the weeping half was just quiet tears.

A roaring and screeching sound that covered the whole world like thunder.

[And you, but you were not betrayed by everyone!] 】

We are on the same path, and I have gone further than you—you can't refuse me! 】

"Really...... Is that so? ”

Hearing this, "Elle" suddenly smiled.

She didn't use angelization.

Instead, a sentence was read softly.

- Just, in a word.

That's what she said to Annan......

"Dreams are the poison that confuses the good and the wicked."

At that moment, the gray demon god stopped.

And Annan is still chanting:

"A person who ignores morality for the sake of a dream, a person who transgresses the law for the sake of a dream, a person who betrays a loved one for the sake of a dream......

"—I curse you."
