Chapter 315 The End of Everything, Like a Dream
The only words left by the first demon king were: "The stone that covers us like the night is our suffering, but also a hope."
In a dessert shop on Tremont Street, two Sakotas with halos on their heads walked into the shop, chatting and laughing, and ordered two cups of super sweet ice cream.
"At present, the abnormal Originium activity in the Skeleton Wasteland in southern Colombia is still continuing, and there is no sign of expansion. Residents in the surrounding areas have all been evacuated. The military and scientists from all walks of life are working hard to analyze the cause of the abnormal phenomenon..."
The electronic screen in the store showed the ominous blood-red sky of the Skeleton Wasteland. The branches of the giant Originium crystal tree stretched into the hovering disaster clouds, supplying energy for the coming storm.
Tremont is some distance away from the Wasteland of Bones, but the two optimistic Sakotas are not worried and continue to enjoy the ice cream in their hands happily.
"Hey? Why is your halo flickering?" The older Sakota looked up and noticed the abnormality of the halo above his companion's head, so he pointed at him and asked.
"I don't know, maybe there's a short circuit." Young Sakta patted his head, as if hoping to repair the short-circuited halo.
"...Haha, maybe, who knows? If the halo can control the brightness and darkness autonomously, I can fall asleep faster at night." The older Sakota smiled and didn't care.
......
The halos on the heads of many Sacotas in Colombia were affected by the Originium and fell into an unstable state.
In a non-war state, a large number of terminal individuals lost connection at the same time, which instantly attracted the attention of the host.
"The terminal individual is under unknown influence. The source is being analyzed. The location of the occurrence is Colombia."
"Analysis and evaluation in progress... The Originium reaction is abnormal..."
"Assessment results confirmed. Highest level of crisis."
......
Under the towering crystalline tree, Roy had a solemn expression on his face. He materialized his magic into arm armor and reached out to catch the falling blood-red crystal - "Anana".
In the memories of the Far Drifters, "Anana" is always calm, safe, stable, and can be easily held in the hands.
But the blood-colored crystal in front of him, just the fetal movement produced during its descent, reshaped the terrain of the entire wasteland of bones.
Even so, it is currently in a dormant state, and it is hard to imagine what kind of disaster a fully activated "Anana" will bring to the earth.
"Anana" fell into his hands. Roy held his breath, tensed his muscles, and slowly closed his five fingers until his knuckles touched the hard crystal.
"Haha...nothing happened..."
Feeling that the restless "Anana" had calmed down, Roy let out a long breath. This terrifying weapon that could explode at any time and destroy Terra was temporarily safe.
Before Roy could relax for a few seconds, the crisp sound of crystal growth and shattering suddenly rang out, and the intricate source stone roots of the giant crystal tree surged towards Roy at lightning speed.
Roy immediately activated "Originium Control" and ordered the Originium to stop moving forward.
"Ziziziz..." The invisible hand pressed the pause button of the world, and the noisy sound of electricity rang in the ears, as if an error occurred when playing the tape.
"Buzz!" The stagnant time returned to normal, and the Originium roots turned into giant dragons and bit Roy. They disobeyed Roy's orders.
It's like the programming language that keeps the world running has changed from Python to machine assembly language, which is more efficient and direct. Roy is just a user with some special permissions and can't beat the cyber ghost with administrator rights.
"Fuck! What's going on?" Roy was surprised that his "Originium Control" ability had failed, but he was still calm. But when he glanced at it unintentionally, he was frightened and his hair stood on end.
The right hand that originally held the original source stone "Anana" was swallowed up by the pure crystal without knowing when, but he did not notice it at all. There was no pain, no sense of touch, and the whole right arm was empty.
The strong wind brought by the Originium dragon blew up the black hair on his forehead. Roy clenched his left fist, covered with magic arm armor, and easily blew up the dragon with one punch.
Originium fragments rained down from the gloomy blood-red sky. Roy stood quietly in place, and transparent Originium crystals climbed up his arms to his neck, cheeks, forehead, and finally to the pitch-black crown.
"Pureseth...I won't give up easily..."
The world fell into darkness. Time, space, life and death, present, past, future...all ended here.
A diamond-shaped, eye in the dark, hanging overhead.
It seems like the only source of light in the darkness, but also like the culprit that swallows up the brilliance of all things.
A huge amount of chaotic information flow rushed in, drowning Roy in the darkness.
......
Roy regained consciousness and looked around, only to find that he had returned to Rhodes Island without knowing when.
Theresa, wearing a white dress, walked slowly towards them, holding the hand of a cute little Sarkaz girl.
"Dad, my sister's entrance ceremony is about to begin, let's go..." The little girl took Roy's right hand. Her face was pink and rosy, and her eyebrows and eyes had the characteristics of both Roy and Theresa.
"...Theresa, is this our daughter?" Roy touched the little girl's soft hair, the touch of his fingertips was so real.
"Yeah, you don't look good. Did you have a nightmare?" Theresa walked up and touched Roy's face. Her gentle face was full of worry, and the warmth of her palm was real.
"...I'm fine, let's go." Roy shook his head, took his daughter and Theresa's hands, and walked to the end of the corridor.
Leaving the Rhodes Island Landship, the old Kazdel City has changed a lot. There are brand new high-rise buildings, busy streets, and logistics drones flying overhead.
The three of them took the rail transit to the school. Roy originally thought that the sister his daughter mentioned was his other daughter with Theresa. But when Roy saw the pair of bone-white horns, he knew he was wrong.
This is the daughter of himself and Shining. Her little face looks so much like her mother.
The little girl was so happy to see her father coming that she ran over with her arms and legs wide open. Roy squatted down, picked up his daughter and kissed her chubby face.
"Dad, I miss you..."
"Yeah, me too." Roy's subconscious mind told him that the world he lived in was fictional, but it contained what he wanted.
After the entrance ceremony, Roy and Theresa took their daughters home for dinner. When they opened the door, Shining, Nightingale, Mudrock, Muir Seth, Arturo... everyone was there, sitting around the long table, welcoming Roy home.
"I will come back, but not now and not in this way. Precious, let's talk face to face..." Roy hugged and kissed everyone one by one, closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank into darkness.
When he woke up again, Roy found himself lying in a golden ocean, with the diamond shapes in the sky reflected in his eyes.
