Chapter 32: An Unhappy Ending

And at the moment when the man made his decision, the heavens and the earth fell into the darkness of ignorance.

In the darkness of chaos, the crystal wall light film of the Grandia world dimmed in an instant, and the undulating light froze in place like frozen seawater, and the bottomless darkness also infected every corner of the world in an instant, causing the atmosphere, all things, and even time and space to condense and sink into silence.

In the void, the indescribable wave of nothingness is rapidly spreading towards the world of Grandia - the world that has lost fire, lost light, and everything should not exist in the first place, it is a part of it, and the cycle of the multiverse is like this, the death and rebirth of the world will be repeated in order and chaos, and in the cycle of fire and nothingness.

However, there was another layer of light that stopped them all.

Layered upon layers, a huge divine circle composed of countless intricate patterns, gears and runes, enveloped the Grandia world that had been completely extinguished, its existence was so huge that no matter what observation method was used, it could only see a part of it, this huge enough to cover the entire world, silent for thousands of years, the magic circle left by the sages was finally activated because of the silence of a world, it operated in an orderly manner, taking all the worlds below it into its bag, dominating every corner of it.

And now the center of the world.

Joshua, holding the Initial Fire.

In the darkness, everything stopped, except for the sound of breathing in the place where the flames lit it, and it was under this darkness and cold that the warrior made that decision decisively.

The choice between the world of Grandia and the world of Mycrove, Joshua doesn't need time to choose at all, this is not ruthless, it is not ruthless, but everything should be like this, he is here to save the continent of Mycrof, how can he make another decision?

As for the world of Grandia.

It is a civilization born of the descendants of 103,000 sinners, a world of heroes of courage and equally cowardly betrayers, and as in other worlds, there are many kinds of people and things.

It is not because it is the origin of the betrayer that they choose to give up, but the warrior scoffs at the idea that the descendants of sinners are still sinners, and if the descendants of the betrayers are willing to take up the sword and wash away the shame of their ancestors' cowardice for their own blood, then why not give them this opportunity? The reason why Joshua knew all this and still made this choice was only because he knew exactly what his goal was, so he had pity in his heart, but he didn't feel guilty.

Since the rebirth of a world requires the demise of a world, so be it.

Whether arrogant or not, I choose to carry everything and am willing to carry everything.

Let it all end.

Held in Joshua's hand, as if a small fire as heavy as a world, a little spark rose with the warrior's mind, and with the light of this spark, countless light golden lights suddenly lit up in the darkness that filled the whole continent, and this light was dotted, like stars, they flashed with blurry and magnificent colors, and then gathered together, like a tsunami towards the fire in the hands of the warrior.

The souls of all living beings were like a silent tidal wave, surging towards a small flame, and with this endless tide of light, outside the world, four points of light of different colors flew towards Joshua, and sank into his body.

White, which means the light of fire, is the origin of all existence.

Silver, signifies order, the end of judgment on sin and evil.

Colorlessness means nothingness, but also the beginning, holding the key to rebirth and destruction.

Cyan, which means an unburned fire, is the source of possibility, and the hope that has not yet happened.

And finally, it's the blazing, warm glow of the fire.

Surrounded by countless light golden soul lights, the Primordial Fire did not burn or be drowned by them, this indescribable, unobservable, and uncertain fire light took Joshua with it, it broke through the darkness, broke the silence, and then merged with the divine formation that enveloped the entire world.

The next moment.

In the multiverse, the vast majority of civilizations that can observe the void will be shocked to discover a fact.

That is, above the endless sea of stars, there was a golden-red galaxy across the long void, connecting the two dim stars on the other side of the sea of stars.

The McCrove continent, of course, is the same.

Within the Boundless Heavens, the sleeping gods opened their eyes.

On the sacred mountain of the far sea, there was a white-haired pope staring at the starry sky, his heart was stirring, and in the center of the Eternal Lake, two elves touched the seed of the World Tree that seemed to be about to sprout, and then raised his head in confusion.

In the dry and scorching desert, the high priest was teaching children, and the middle-aged man who had just succeeded him pointed to the starry sky and patiently described the meaning of each star, but the red galaxy disrupted his whole steps, and the wandering knight who wandered between the wasteland and various cities also watched this scene thoughtfully, and let out a faint sigh.

In the mountains, under the earth, in the fish-man tribes of the deep sea and the relics of the ancient races living in the depths of the abyss, there are strong people who raise their heads and look up at the sky, and the swordsmen with holy swords on their backs and the mages who live in the tower of the sky are shocked by this scene.

"That's ......"

"That's the tinder, and the soul."

The Temple of Stars, the dragon-winged girl's faint muttering was heard by the Pope, Eagle answered the other party's question, and then looked at the inheritor with pity and fainted, he already knew what choice the warrior on the other side of the time and space made in the end.

A heavy, arrogant choice that carries the lives and souls of billions of people.

This choice was not made by Akhar Aliyev, the founding emperor of the Central Empire, Cynthia Morningstar, the sage of the stars, and even the sage, the sage who made all this, did not decisively decide the final outcome without authorization, but left everything to future generations with great irresponsibility.

They all hesitated.

And Joshua didn't.

The galaxy sped through the void at the speed of thought, and the red firelight dragged a long band of light across the multiverse, allowing countless worlds to enjoy this magnificent scene, even the light mist brought by the Great Demon Tide could not be compared.

In the midst of this firelight, the man who controlled the galaxy saw the past and future that he should have been destined for.

Joshua Van Radcliffe, the man's turning point of fortune was that in the cold winter of Starfall 831, his father who had the inheritance died in the Sealed Land, and he had no idea that he could only drag his body seriously injured by the war and return to Moldavia alone, this man was burning with rage, withstanding the invasion of the Black Tide and the attacks of betrayers, and finally regained his territory with the remaining family knights.

The originally cheerful man became cold and silent because of the death of his father and the old butler, and the betrayal of his uncle aggravated his vigilance, and in the summer of a year later, the fate of Joshua finally got a vague inheritance in the family cemetery and broke through the golden realm.

Then, armed with a black giant axe, the man who slew several golden demonic beasts and destroyed even the mountains they inhabited became famous. The name of 'Joshua the Mountain Destroyer' spread in the surrounding territories, and the Moldavian Territory began to grow rapidly, but what followed was the Plague of the Dragon.

This is another difficult battle, in the face of a whole white dragon lair led by the dragon army, even if the four northern leaders join forces to resist, there is almost no power to resist, the only way is to forcibly break through the dragon's nest, kill the two leaders led by the white dragon, the man who has been tempered by countless desolate gods naturally does not let the leader of this raid team, and after a bitter battle that can almost be said to be paved with flesh and blood, they finally defeated the enemy and pacified this dragon disaster.

But most of the territory has been destroyed, and the family's centuries-old business has almost been knocked back to its original shape.

The man who was covered in scars, confused and at a loss, ushered in a great tide of demons in the ruins that were gradually repaired.

His own breakthrough of extreme intentions, the abdication of the pope, the era of great exploration, the turmoil in the Central Black Forest, the death of the emperor, the civil war of the empire, as if it was fate, every time the times change, men will usher in a cruel fight and battle, and the cultists, and the extreme will of the monster, and the rebels and the Central Army, and he has defeated strong enemies again and again, bloody victory.

The battle did not destroy him, but the continuous suffering and the gradually expanding dark wounds finally broke him, and the life of this warrior was shortened by exhausting his life and soul again and again.

Before dying, he stared at the Inheritance Orb in his hand, which only lit up slightly, but did not react, and then showed a complicated smile to his Divine Skill Butler.

"The Radcliffe family has burned to the ground."

In a hoarse voice, he said softly, "Let's find the next successor." ”

A few days later, in the northern part of the empire, in the Moldavian territory, the news that the current head of the Radcliffe family, Joshua the Firebather, was looking for someone to inherit the 'inheritance', spread throughout the empire.

That's how it's supposed to be.

Clenching the dragon hunting sword and spear in his hand, the warrior closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was another illusion.

The dragon-winged girl who fled everywhere in the last days finally reached the point where there was no way to escape, and in the face of the endless army of undead, she finally rose a trace of enlightenment in her heart.

What's the use of continuing like this? Death is inescapable, even if you continue to rely on the robe to escape this time, waiting for the life to run out, you will also turn into an undead.

But what is the meaning of that life? Nothing has changed, nothing has been done, and the simple escape is just to kill the time that fate has left for you.

Therefore, the enlightened girl took out all the holy stone seeds on her body and released the largest 'fireworks' in the world, and the price was that a radius of several kilometers was razed to the ground, and the ground collapsed dozens of meters, and the girl herself was thrown away by the aftermath of the explosion, although she was protected by the robe, she was also unconscious.

People from the Four Holy Cities found the unconscious girl, who was hunted by the dead and very well-known among the survivors, the girl was received by the city lord, an old man who was transformed by machines and magic devices, and from his mouth, the girl learned about the current difficulties of the Four Holy Cities.

The Sage's Tomb is home to countless Heroic Spirits, and with the help of these unhatched Heroes, even an endless army of the Dead can withstand it for a long time, and in that time, they can send an elite team to the Gettar Plateau to destroy the Origins of the Dead.

"It's just that it takes too much energy to awaken these sleeping heroes."

The old man sighed, the terrifying energy demand would not be enough to squeeze his own old bone dry, it was enough to make the survivors desperate.

"Energy?" And the girl with a strange expression touched the strange robe that she never seemed to worry about because of energy, and whispered to herself, "I have something here." ”

So, a few days later, the army of the Heroic Spirit and the army of the Dead launched the first frontal war in twenty-seven years in the wasteland under the Gatar Plateau, and the Dragonwing Maiden unexpectedly met the emperor a thousand years ago.

"That's the teacher's robe......"

Looking at the girl in front of him who was seven or eight points similar to the Star Sage, I don't know if this is fate or accident, the old knight put down the spear in his hand, and no longer had the desire to fight, the old man with a touch of loneliness, told the girl a warm story from a thousand years ago, and the cruel truth behind all the facts.

And maybe something went wrong, such as everything that was too heavy to be believed, and it was impossible to choose, in short, at the end of the story, the world was still not redeemed in the end.

The 103,000 survivors live in the dim light of the initial fire, patiently waiting for the future for the 'some' of fate to come and give them the salvation they have been waiting for for a thousand years.

That's how it's supposed to be.

Joshua opened his eyes.

He's come to the world of McCrove.

The flames, carrying endless golden streams of light, poured into this world, the divine circle spread, blending into the surface of the world that released a faint light, the warrior knew that all this was over, all the souls of a world for thousands of years would be completely integrated into the Mycrof continent that had gradually died, and become a part of its life cycle, and the original 103,000 souls of sinners would be burned into the deepest part of the continent together with the flames of a world, submerging into the deepest melt core of the continent, extending its life.

It can be seen that Microf's light film gradually turned from dim to bright, and he can see that the surface of the world, which was originally full of cracks, began to heal every wound rapidly.

As one star goes out, another dim star regains its former glory.

In this silence, the world, which was on the verge of death, was restored to life and could last for thousands of years.

Joshua watched all this, calm in his heart, without the slightest wave.

At that moment, a voice whispered something to the man who had changed everything.

And the warrior replied indifferently: "Enough." ”

As if he was talking to himself, as if he was communicating with some being, he shook his head and said, "It's all over." ”

"The number of 103,000 is originally an imaginary number, and those who are still alive now, there is not a single coward, and the betrayer has already paid the price, so those who are still alive should continue to live."

"I kept my promise, and now it's time to fulfill another one."

In Joshua's hand, there was still a faint remnant of flame that seemed to be extinguished immediately, and it seemed that thousands of people were sleeping inside, and he said softly, "I said that I can't sit idly by, I can't help but help...... This is my promise. ”

He suddenly laughed: "And you're going to help me, right?" Sages? ”

"Of course."

An being fused together by four colors of light said calmly in a voice that only Joshua could hear, "Since, this is your choice. ”

"Then of course I will help you, my heir."

As a result, the powerhouses on the Mycrove continent saw another scene.

Soon after the Flame Galaxy vanished, another red light lit up above the celestial dome.

And in the void, the warrior stood above the light film of the world, and he searched the worlds and found his goal.

It was a world full of ashes and devoured by famine, where cold winds swirled the seas and condensed the seas, and where sand and dust filled the heavens and suffocated everything.

With the flame in his hand, Joshua stretched out his hand to a world that had been on the verge of death for a long time, with only the last embers left.

"I, will fight all Chaos."

Swollen arms.

"I will save all innocent and punish all evil."

A metallic glow is released.

"My mind will never forgive in the face of my enemies, and my anger will never be quenched."

The six-armed giant, thousands of miles tall, unimaginably large, standing in the void, the strongest and most determined will that gushed out from the depths of the soul gathered, constituting the flesh and bones of the giant, and the legendary power beyond the limit surged around the giant.

"I'm Joshua van Radcliffe."

The glow of the flame gradually ignited.

"I will carry everything, save everything, and punish everything."

Ceramic-like cracks spread across the giant's body.

"This is my vow."

The ash giant, covered in sparks, moved.

The King of Souls opened his eyes like lava.

Four cities, countless remnant gathering places, and thousands of survivors flashed within the flames of the Ash Giant's hands, then expanded as the warrior's body swelled, and the flames finally turned into a light-shrouded entity, like a small continent, embraced by the warrior.

The giant's six arms carried this almost impossible burden, and little by little, without trembling, he 'walked' towards the ash-covered world, the four-colored light illuminating his path and turning into the strength that sustained him.

Finally, he came to this world, and before the world called Karlis, he raised the last remnants of the world, and the last survivors of it, and gently 'placed' them in.

A fragment of a continent, accompanied by the power of fire, descended on this ash world.

The gentle light pierced the haze of the sky and dispelled all shadows and darkness.

Under the light of this light, there are grass spreading, and on the old trees that have dried for a long time, there are new shoots blooming, and the red sparks flying in the sky have swept the whole world, covering the whole world, whether it is plains, valleys, rotten swamps and frozen oceans, nothing is missing.

Flames, burning chaos, bringing the world back to order, and reviving the barren world, this is the power of the guardian of the world, the king of the burning soul.

This time, though, the flame is enough, even if it only burns for a few decades, but the future is a matter of the future.

Everything now has ushered in a not too perfect ending.
