Chapter 997: Death of Destiny
(4-in-1 Grand Chapter, next update No. 28)
The royal palace, the mansion on the shore of the warm lake, that is where the two first met.
The princess's bedroom was set up exactly as before, with Chino standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, sorting out his gown, adjusting his tie to just the right amount of elasticity, smoothing out every wrinkle and making sure the details were immaculate.
The jewel-like amber eyes are reflected in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a slight smile, as if welcoming an important moment.
Niko was standing behind Chino at this time, and unlike the smile in her amber eyes, Niko was already crying silently, and tears flowed down her face.
As the only person who has followed Chino to the present day, Niko has already gained all of Chino's trust, and after the reincarnation rules expired, Chino also told her everything about herself.
Niko now knows about the Pride Factor, and it doesn't know that Chino is the one who needs to be completed in the end.
Niko thought that she could follow Chino to the end of her life, and that she could see Chino's never-ending pace at the last moment before she died.
She never imagined that Chino would end up in the way she was.
She knew that this heavenly situation spanned two planes and thousands of years, and it was by no means something she could change, and even a word of dissuasion would seem hypocritical and redundant.
Therefore, the most important thing she should do is to stand behind Chino unconditionally as usual and follow him silently until the last moment.
But no matter how much she tried to calm herself, her tears still flowed uncontrollably, and she stood there crying silently.
"All the past will eventually be drowned in the torrent of time, like tears disappearing in the rain," Chino muttered, speaking the famous dialogue of Blade Runner in this world for the second time.
Only this time, he didn't say it to his enemies.
He looked at himself in the mirror and said his last words:
"The time of death has come."
Ascend the Divine Steps, a building located in the royal city, was once the place where the Sun King ascended to the rank of the gods thousands of years ago and canonized the nine ancient gods.
When Solandelle came to the Ascending Stairs accompanied by Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng, there was already a sea of people around, and the palace guards separated the crowd on both sides and cleared the main road for them to pass.
The new king "Doglander XXVII" has been waiting here, his bloated body in the king's robe, obviously the king of a country, but now he is humble like a servant, and his head is almost down to his waist.
As soon as he saw Solandale in sight, the king hurriedly greeted the royal family behind him, none of whom dared to look directly at him with a promising expression, looking genuinely afraid of the young previous queen.
The king bowed his head, and the heroic man who had won the throne in the war did not even know where to put his hand, and when he was at a loss, he directly took off the crown on his head and handed it to Solandale, and said in the most humble tone:
"Your Majesty, it is an honour to see you again. In the past two years, the contemptible people couldn't bear to see the war continue in the whole territory, gathered the family forces to raise troops to exterminate the rebels, and briefly managed the kingdom for you, just waiting for your return. β
"Everything I do, I do for Her Majesty! Now, it's time for the crown to be returned to its rightful owner! β
The king was undoubtedly clever and clearly recognized his position.
No matter how many millions of troops and transcendents he commanded, how brave he was in the war, and even had the last laugh, he still knew very well that he was not a king.
It is possible that the past two years have been.
But when Chino and Solandel both returned, he was not, at most an ant, an ant stronger than the others.
There's no point in dwelling on things that don't belong to you, and it's not necessarily a good choice to retreat from the rapids.
It's just that, in the face of the crown handed over, Solandale didn't take it, and he didn't look at the "king" from beginning to end, just passing by, as if he was just dust.
Solandale looked out at the long staircase ahead, all made of polished marble, and is said to have taken hundreds of thousands of people to build it in a year.
As far as the eye can see, the long steps of the ascending god are proud, and the fluttering fine snow condenses into frost white on the ladder surface, clean and flawless, it is so high that it seems to be able to reach the sky, forming a road to the heavenly dome.
Under the attention of everyone, Solandale walked up step by step.
More and more people recognized Solandelle, who had spit on her, humiliated her, and gone to great lengths to drive her out of the royal city two years earlier.
Someone smashed her with an egg, someone spat in her face, someone kicked her to the ground and kicked her in the head.
It was such a group of people who once regarded her as garbage, and now their eyes were burning and looking at her with awe.
This is the people she wants to save with everything she wants.
They are manipulated by powerful authorities, like tamed domestic dogs, laughing or angry, only in the whims of their masters.
"Glory to the Queen!"
The first shout sounded out of nowhere, and the waves began to boil, converging into a sea under the long steps of the gods.
"Glory to the Queen!"
"Glory to the Queen!"
Solandelle walked for an unknown amount of time, and when she finally reached the platform of ascension at the top of the long staircase, the shouting continued for a long time, and everyone was fanatically chanting "Return to the Queen".
Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng were both standing behind Solandelle at this time, Ye Xiaochen looked at the huge wall of the royal city in the distance, his eyes seemed to penetrate the ancient stone wall, and he was looking at the person who was coming.
"He's coming soon, and we're going to complete the arrogance factor here. When you become the arrogance of the new generation, he can no longer accompany you, if you encounter any problems, look for Luo Qingfeng, and he will help you solve them. β
"Solandel Van Dogoland, please take his love for you to the end."
Solandale didn't respond, just silently watched the crowd below.
Nobles, commoners, slaves, and slaves fell to their knees and bowed to her, becoming the most fanatical of believers, just as they had been when they faced the great regent and shouted, "Glory to my lord."
The crowd on their knees chanted "Return to the Queen", doing everything they could to show their admiration, and bowing to Solandelle, hoping that this appearance would be remembered by her.
They felt that their piety would bring a smile to the queen's face.
As everyone knows, every worship and every shout turned into a knife and stabbed into Solandale's heart, stabbing bloody and almost numb.
At this moment, she only felt that fate could be so playful.
From ascending to the throne at the age of 16, to abdicating at the age of 27, and now returning to the throne at the age of 29, she has experienced 13 years of ups and downs, during which she has made countless enemies and encountered many difficulties and ups and downs.
For the ideals buried in her heart as a child, she gritted her teeth and moved forward step by step, during which she sacrificed her confidant, lost her friends, abandoned her lover, and finally all her efforts turned into smoke and became nothing.
Having nothing is not the most ironic.
The most ironic thing is these cries.
From "Glory to the Sun" to "Glory to My Lord", the sun that has been hanging high for thousands of years has fallen in her hands, and the dark shadow of death has risen in the same place.
From "Glory to My Lord" to "Glory to the Queen", the Grim Reaper ended for her, and pushed her to the throne with his backhand.
She had spent half her life destroying the gods, and as a result, she was now revered as a god.
She seemed to get it.
Everything is understood.
It's a reincarnation.
A reincarnation that no matter how hard you try, you can't break free.
"Hehehe, sister, you've come so far." Quietly, a voice left behind her memory sounded behind Solandelle.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the crowd around the long steps of the god became a static picture.
The overwhelming shouts were also like a layer of glass, blurred, and only the voice behind him could be heard clearly.
Solandale turned her head and stared blankly at the person standing not far away.
Originally, there were only three people on the Ascension Platform: her, Luo Qingfeng, and Ye Xiaochen, but at this time, there was a fourth person standing there.
AndrΓ© Dogulander, his half-brother, stood there like a ghost, still as dark as he remembered.
Luo Qingfeng didn't notice it, and neither did Ye Xiaochen.
It's a ghost of memory that only Solandale can see.
Andre looked at Solandelle with a playful gaze, and his voice was deliberately long, full of mockery: "Sister, did I tell you that you can't be this queen." β
"The throne is not for people to sit on, especially for those who will sympathize with others."
AndrΓ© walked over slowly, stood beside Solandale, and looked down with her at the crowd below the Stairs: "Look at these people, are they worth saving?" β
"Ignorant and ignorant, following power like a dog, never remembering the care and mercy you give, it is now, and it will be so in a thousand years."
"It is impossible for humans to change humanity, only gods can lead humanity."
"How sad, what you wanted to do from the beginning, what you spent half your life doing, is impossible."
Andrei's hand stroked Solandale's cheek, with a deathly coldness, but it was really his brother's caress for his sister: "Sister, you are tired, it's time to rest." β
The touch of nothingness shattered in an instant, turning into nothingness, and Andrei's shadow disappeared with his voice,
Instead, two hands rested gently on their shoulders.
Solandel looked back and Perseus and Catherine were standing behind her, looking kindly at her.
Her eyes were blank, and she whispered, "Dad, Mom, I can't seem to do anything."
Perseus and Catherine smiled softly, and they walked over and embraced Solandelle in their arms, with open arms.
"Daughter, it's been a hard work."
In the arms of her parents, the unprecedented pathos spread in Solandale's heart, and she huddled tightly in their arms, trying to suppress the sadness that came to her face, but she still shed tears.
Hey, why are you crying again.
Obviously 29 years old, he is still a crybaby
As Solandale hugged her parents tightly, there was a sudden burst of applause, cold and cold, but continuous.
She looked up ahead, where Madara and Aurora were standing.
These two righteous confidants snuggled up to each other, with happy smiles on their faces, and were applauding Solandale.
With tears in her eyes, Solandelle murmured, "Maddle, Aurora, I'm sorry I failed your sacrifice."
Madara and Aurora both smiled openly, and they walked up side by side, gently placing their hands on Solandelle's shoulders.
"Your Majesty, it's been a hard work."
At this moment, the laughter of silver bells rang out, followed by the cheerful barking of dogs.
Solandelle looked in the direction of the voice, and a little girl stood there, greeting her warmly with her little hands raised, and the big yellow dog beside her stuck out his tongue and wagged his tail happily at her.
Looking at the little girl not far away, Solandale felt for the rag tied around her wrist.
Since the age of 12, this rag has been tied around her wrists, and she never leaves her wherever she goes, just to remind herself not to forget her original intention and why she set foot on this road in the first place.
Because of repeated washing, the strip of rag has faded, and now it is still tied to Solandelle's wrist and fluttering in the wind, which is the trace of 17 years of ups and downs.
Solandale looked at the little girl and whispered, "It's been 17 years, and I still don't know your name."
The little girl grinned and smiled, and ran up with the big yellow dog to hold Solandelle, her hands as soft as marshmallows.
"Sister, it's been a hard work." The little girl said sweetly.
The warm wind swept across Solandale's cheeks, and a loud dragon chant resounded through the sky.
She looked up and saw a crimson dragon hovering, the knight on its back with the same hair color as the dragon, sweeping through the air like flames.
It was the dragon's night, and the knight who would never abandon it, Lona.
Looking at her childhood acquaintance, tears blurred Solandelle's vision again, and she whimpered, "I'm sorry, Nana, I'm sorry. The most sorry person in my life is you."
Scarlet Night hovered in the air for a long time, rising higher and higher several times, and seemed to be about to leave, but in the end, it still landed in front of Solandale.
Lorna jumped off the dragon's back, and the running figure ran towards her countless times as a child, holding her tightly in her arms.
Lorna helped Solandelle wipe away her tears and pressed her cheek gently against her forehead.
"Solan, it's been a great job."
Surrounded by so many people, Solandale slowly closed her eyes, her gaze gradually darkened, and her consciousness seemed to jump in a past life.
Sometimes I feel like I have become a newborn baby, held in the arms of my parents, listening to a gentle lullaby, and falling asleep with a strong sense of security.
Sometimes in the years, she sat upright on the throne, Mamada spoke generously to His Highness, and Miss Aurora was still far away, and she did not know him, waiting alone for the person who was destined to appear.
For a moment, she seemed to be back in Twilight, where the little girl was following her with the cute big yellow dog, eating cake and drinking sugar water together, and running down the streets holding hands.
Then I went back to my childhood, the evening breeze echoed the bell of the end of class, the students after school were bustling, Lorna took the lead and ran out of the college, the evening breeze blew the long red hair, and the childhood friend stood at the school gate dyed red by the sunset, smiling and waving to her.
The short time is stretching infinitely, and the scenes of past lives are like picture scrolls, mottled and unfolded in Solandelle's consciousness.
Solandale suddenly discovered that her life was not only the pain and confusion of the past few years, but also so many happy things.
At the end of the picture, she returned to the present, so people were still hugging her around, and the person who left the deepest traces in her life did not know when she came to the front.
"See you again, little princess."
17 years ago, she was just a young child, and he appeared in his life so suddenly.
She remembered that it was a sunny morning, and the breeze was blowing outside the window, dappled sunlight shining on his body, and the smell of laurel blossoms was everywhere.
At that time, everything was so peaceful, there was no hustle, no strife, only the throbbing of the first encounter, and the hope for the future.
With Chino's figure reflected in Solandelle's pupils, she asked faintly, "No, is that how you want to be a god?" β
Back in time, the moonlight slanted down from the pale blue night sky, and the warm water falling on the shore of the lake in the evening breeze also illuminated the two lovers who were chatting for a long time by the lakeside.
Chino raised his head and looked at the stars that had been shining in the night for hundreds of millions of years, as if he was looking at the supreme existence behind the time and space.
"I just want to go to the end and witness that answer."
Quietly, countless voices poured into Solandelle's mind at this time, echoing in her consciousness.
"Your confusion and entanglement, your long life, may just be a string of data, a symbol, fabricated by the Supreme Being, and all of them are illusory."
"Our own existence is nothing. We are nothing before eternity. β
"There is only one other eternal existence that can face eternity across time, and that is the denier."
"As an eternal being, He willingly stops for you before the end. It's love, silly girl, it's love. β
"In his heart, he loves you dearly, in the past, now, and in the future, on every scale of time"
"As long as you're alive, he'll never reach the end."
"As long as you're alive, he'll never reach the end."
"As long as you're alive, he'll never reach the end."
In the midst of the echoes, Solandale felt a familiar hug, which was Chino hugging her and leaning over to kiss her on the lips.
"Today is the 30th day of the snow, it's your birthday, make a wish, little princess."
Solandelle's eyes became clearer and clearer, and all the memories of getting along with each other blended at this moment, and the past years were like fireworks, dissolving in her heart.
She smiled, a laugh of relief, relief.
"May you get the answers you want."
"Puff !!"
Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng were standing behind Solandelle, waiting for Chino's arrival, but they heard the sound of blood foaming without warning.
A scarlet blood bud burst out from Solandelle's heart, and the treacherous supreme power surged like a tsunami, and finally turned into a black brand, forever seared into her body.
The Sun King, the former chief of the gods, is now the chief powerhouse of the reincarnation world, two strong men who have gone through countless ups and downs of life and death, and will not change their colors in the face of the collapse of the sky, at this time, their eyes are wide open, and they are almost broken.
They recognized the black brand, and they recognized the shuddering power.
Death of Destiny!
"No !!!!" Ye Xiaochen's eyes were cracked, he almost screamed, and rushed towards Solandelle like crazy.
At the same time, Luo Qingfeng opened his sleeves violently, and a glass bottle flew out of it and hung in the palm of his hand.
This kind of magic weapon is called "Yuan Infant Bottle", which can seal a wisp of human primordial spirit, even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the primordial spirit is still there, it can reshape the physical body immortal and immortal.
The Yuan Infant in the Yuan Infant Bottle was originally sealed with Luo Qingfeng's cultivation condensation, which was his second life in the true sense, and it was also a hole card that was enough to change his life against the sky at a critical moment.
But he was so resolute at this time that he was almost crazy, and without even the slightest hesitation, he directly killed Yuan Ying and made the Yuan Ying bottle empty.
Luo Qingfeng poured Dao power into the Yuan Infant Bottle, and the True Qi instantly wrapped Solandelle's fallen body, trying to pull out a wisp of Yuan Shen from her body and seal it into the bottle.
However, Luo Qingfeng's heart soon became cold, because the Yuan Baby Bottle had no reaction to Solander.
There is only one possibility.
"No, no, no, no! No!! You can't die!! You can't die!!! Ye Xiaochen screamed heartbreakingly, he grabbed the placket of Solandelle's coat and shook the unresponsive body wildly.
Solandelle's pupils reflected Ye Xiaochen's distorted face, and also reflected the more distant sky, but there was no lifeless look, only blood continued to flow from his heart, converging into a pool of scarlet blood under his body.
Death of destiny, like the Eye of Death, is the most cruel force in the world.
Once it is affected by the fate of death, no matter how glorious the past, no matter how noble the status, no matter how powerful the power is, no matter what method is used to rescue, life will enter the doomed death.
The bureau that had been waiting for thousands of years was shattered in front of his eyes without warning, Ye Xiaochen screamed heartbreakingly, and white foam kept overflowing from the corners of his mouth.
Even Luo Qingfeng, who did not change his color when the sky collapsed in front of him, also had dilated pupils at this time, and stood there blankly.
"There's still a chance. Complete first. Eat her! Complete first! Ate her!! Ye Xiaochen roared, no longer suppressing the gluttonous cells in his body, releasing them all, and the scarlet tentacles burst out of his body, intertwining and intertwining in front of him into a huge mouth.
However, before Ye Xiaochen could swallow Solandelle's body, something that made him desperate happened.
A faint light appeared on Solandelle's eyebrows, constantly brightening, condensing into a dazzling spot of light, like a sleeping firefly being awakened and flying out of the snowy sky.
The spot of light kept brightening and shimmering with blazing brilliance as it ascended, and everyone stared at it blankly, their eyes reflecting this dreamlike glow.
"The Pride Factor." Luo Qingfeng muttered the name of the light spot.
At first, everyone was still terrified of the Queen's death, but the light spots hanging in the sky were so brilliant that they seemed to have an irresistible magic that made people sink and draw people's attention to it.
In the silence of the crowd, someone suddenly shouted, "That's 'divinity'!" β
Divinity, what a wonderful word.
People quickly remembered the legend of ancient mythology that the gods were different from mortals because of their unparalleled divinity.
Before that, no one knew what divinity really was, because it was something that mortals simply could not reach.
But at this moment, before this vicissitudes of life, at the moment when the queen, who was regarded as the future god, fell, everyone seemed to have an answer in their hearts.
Yes, that spot of light is divinity! It is the brightest thing under the firmament, and the greatest being in this mortal world!
It's not because the gods are gods first that they have divinity.
It's that mortals have divinity, and that's what makes them gods.
The divinity that emerged from the queen's body after her death is the best proof of this!
Under the gaze of everyone, the shining arrogance factor began to split, turning into countless soul-stirring traces of light that jumped in the air, rushing to the ends of the world, and the surging traces seemed to build a world of light in the sky.
Without a host, without a vessel, the arrogance factor will not disappear out of thin air, and its destination is to split into thousands of pieces, randomly enter the human body of this world, and wait for it to be filled.
People soon discovered this shocking phenomenon, countless traces of light falling from the sky, and the dreamlike colors were so mysterious and magnificent, like a treasure given to this world by the gods.
The shattered arrogance factor sprinkled down with the snow, entering the new host, and the "chosen ones" all became bright, and the dazzling light ran along the veins.
They looked at their bodies in fascination, as if they had been reborn in the fire, the tiny mortal bodies were a thing of the past, and the souls seemed to be able to fly into the air and become god-shattering gods.
The frenzied agitation spread through the crowd like a tsunami, and everyone fell into hysterical madness.
"Divinity. Divinity is coming! Grab it!! β
"That divinity is coming at me! Go away! You all go away! β
"Ahahahaha!! I got divinity!! I'm a god!! From now on, I will be a god!! β
"Glory to you, sir, glory to you. Allow me to be your first believer! β
Nobles, commoners, slaves, crazy, everybody.
The crowd under the long steps of ascending to the gods was like a dark cloud of black oppression, everyone pushed me to rush, bumped into each other's heads and broke blood, and they all stretched out their arms and raised them into the air, wanting to touch the arrogant factor that fell from the sky.
Every ounce of reason is in tatters at this time, and all that fills people's minds is the endless desire to attain divinity and become a god.
A slave who had been held by a nobleman with a rope in his hand suddenly entered his body with a factor of arrogance descending from the sky, and the light shone wantonly in his veins.
The slave laughed hysterically after the initial stupe, and he ran back and forth, dancing and slamming his noble master hard, snatching the rope and striking him: "I have become a god!" Mortals, fear me, fear me!! β
This nobleman is a transcendent being, and with his strength, he can kill slaves like ants.
Usually he is also very irritable with his slaves, and will beat and scold them if they have the slightest disobedience, but if the other party dares to take the slightest sign of offense, he will cut off a part of his body as punishment.
However, at this time, in the face of the whipping of his slaves, the nobles were so frightened that they crossed their hands in front of their chests and trembled, and kept begging for mercy.
The reason for his fear is simple, because he is not favored by the Divine, but only a mortal.
Mortals cannot disobey the gods.
Of course, not every nobleman is so unlucky.
The arrogance factor is equal to the world, and there is no difference in social status, and there are many nobles who have received the favor of the arrogance factor.
A frilling arrogant factor entered the body of a nobleman, and he was already the focus of many people's attention in his gorgeous clothes, and his eyes became even more scorching at this time.
The moment the nobles were favored by the arrogant factor, the crowd around them rushed to this side like crazy, and those who had not "become gods" knelt or crawled, and fell down in front of this "new god" one after another.
"God, please allow me to be your servant!"
"Lord God, I don't want any reward, I just ask you to use your divine power to favor me in the future!"
"I will be in awe of you! I will fear you forever and ever! O gods! O my supreme god! β
At first, the nobleman was so confused about being favored by the gods that he could not believe that he could be so lucky.
But the human heart is so strange, after the earth-shaking change, from being a mortal to calling himself a god, the change of mentality is only a flick of a finger.
The nobleman was silent for a moment, then smiled brightly, and he opened his arms to the crowd shouting at him, eliciting even more enthusiastic cheers, as if the Supreme Lord was embracing the faithful.
There are many nobles who are favored by the arrogant factor.
Unfortunately, the current king is not among them.
The Pride Factor dragged the light trail past the king, and he reached out to catch it, but the light trail passed through his palm like a phantom and entered the body of a minister not far away.
The minister looked at his shining golden blood, and his eyes unconsciously flowed clear liquid, which was tears of joy and tears.
He knows that his life has ushered in a transformation, and from now on, he will no longer be subservient to others, and the supreme life has opened up ahead.
He looked at the king, and his reverent gaze vanished, replaced by a falcon-like undertone.
As the king who came out of the war, the king was not so fanatical as the others that he lost his mind.
He looked at the minister with gloomy eyes, and directly drew his sword, his expression was angry: "I know! I knew you were against it! Coveted my throne for a long time, right? Come on, take him down! β
However, the royal guards who had been loyal to the king did not move, and their erratic eyes wandered back and forth between the two.
Soon, someone took the first step.
The royal guards broke away from the king's side, and one after another stood behind the minister, looking at the king with the same gloomy gaze.
The minister showed his gloomy white teeth and sneered, "It seems that it is time for you to abdicate, Your Majesty, I promise to give you a good old age." β
The king held his sword in front of him, bared his teeth and cursed, "I am the king!" I am your king! I am. Yes!!! β
The king screamed suddenly, and his front blades pierced through two bloody blades.
He looked behind him with all his might, and saw his canonized king standing behind him with his left and right hands, each holding a sword in his hand, which had already pierced into his body at this time.
"Only the gods can lead us." The king drew his sword in his left and right hands, brought up the burst of blood, and stabbed at the king again, again and again.
The royal guards did the same with their swords drawn, and the king was slashed to the ground in groups, and the blood bloomed like scarlet flowers, as a sign of their allegiance to the new king.
The entire royal city has fallen into a restlessness, and this restlessness is spreading to all parts of the world, because the arrogance factor that has fallen on the royal city is only a small part, and more are flocking to the north and south, looking for a host to be "favored".
In this ancient capital, everyone was immersed in a sea of frenzy, and no one looked at the long steps of the queen anymore, and no one cared about the figure lying in the snow.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, obscuring her already hazy vision, and white snowflakes covered Solandelle's body like a warm velvet quilt, accompanying her towards eternal sleep.
People chasing "divinity" won't notice that Ye Xiaochen is kneeling beside Solandale, looking up to the sky and crying.
"It's over. All the people in this world are finished."
