Chapter 1458 Chapter 108·"OE·The Last Communion (5)"

The golden awn grew bigger and bigger, gradually becoming as dazzling as wheat awns.

People raised their heads involuntarily.

Su Mingan's vision was dark and he fell silently.

"Uh-huh!"

Red-gold flames burned across the sky, like the afterglow of the setting sun, swallowing up every inch of the sky. It fills the sky and is spectacular.

In this vast expanse of red gold, a figure suddenly parted the clouds, and his hair fell like a waterfall in the flames, like a god descending from the sky. Behind him, the red-gold clouds quietly parted, like wings of fire stretching out.

The clouds are clearing and the rain is falling, everything is clear and bright.

People held their breath involuntarily.

The man's waist-length hair was fluttering in the heat and frenzy, and his eyes, which were as dark as a sea of ​​ink, looked calmly at the earth.

A skeletal sickle was held in his palm, shaped like a half-moon, and its cold pointed tip was aimed at Su Ming'an - aiming at the "devouring" power behind Su Ming'an.

In an instant, strong pain and anger surged into their hearts, and the expectations in people's hearts were shattered.

There was no smile on Su Mingan's face.

...when did it start?

From the first time the red blade was raised, the first turning in the opposite direction, the first time helplessly seeing the end of destruction, it has been irreversible.

He began to feel confused. Logic and action-oriented are all in perfect harmony, but why is this the result? Is there something I didn't do well?

"—Noel Akinni."

The person who came was not a rescuer.

It was the straw that broke the camel's back.

As long as Su Ming'an's "swallowing" power is snatched away and prevented from falling into the hands of others, the eighth seat cannot be stopped.

Noel Akini is indeed here.

Not to save the day, but to destroy.

A figure flashed in the air, spreading its bat wings and wearing a crown. Another figure flashed in the air, with brilliant angel wings and black hair tied with a white bow.

Lu Shu and Lin Yin, one on the left and the other on the right, caught the falling Su Ming'an like a falling swallow.

They protected Su Ming'an, who closed his eyes, and backed away extremely defensively, looking at the golden figure floating in the sky.

The best friends of the past have become the bitter enemies of today.

"...President!" A blond girl waved her arms and shouted loudly. It was Angelica from the New World Guild, trying to persuade Noel: "Return from the lost way, President. Do you still remember that we were in the New World? When the guild teaches children music lessons together? ? Do you still remember the fireworks we stayed up late to prepare for Su Ming'an? Those gems were carved one by one by you, and the pattern of the carpet was chosen by us together. Come back, President, let's do it together. Let’s take a ride on the crow, okay?”

"Return from the lost path...?" The blue eyes have turned to black. The blond boy lowered his head and looked at the unconscious Su Mingan behind Lu Shu and Lin Yin:

"I've never been lost."

"Su Ming'an, I don't know if you can still hear me... Do you still remember the group wedding that I saw?"

"In my twenty-six years of life, I have seen too many unreliable emotions in life. In my eyes, most things in the world end in tragedy. Human beings are selfish, greedy, and lustful... Of course, I am the same."

"No matter how eternal things are, they will eventually oxidize and disappear."

"But even so, I am increasingly looking forward to seeing things that are more eternal than the universe, such as fleeting love and ideals blooming like ephemeral flowers, because their existence is only a short moment and cannot be traced back, and it is impossible to judge whether they are have died, so, in a sense, I have witnessed their 'eternity'."

"You, some of you, exist like an epiphyllum. In my eyes, they are also 'eternal'."

"...So you want to kill shining things for the so-called 'eternity'? What's the reason!" Flora couldn't help but ask.

Noel lowered his eyelids, and the corners of his lips seemed to be slightly hooked:

"No. I'm not referring to them..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

A ray of golden light tore between the clouds, and a long sword burning with sharp fire fell suddenly, like lightning splitting the dark night!

The deafening roar accompanied by the impact of the fire tore through the air, causing the world to freeze, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Uh-huh!"

Noel's figure turned into a square card, floated to the ground, and appeared a hundred meters away in a flash. He touched his left shoulder, pain exploding in his mind. The flaming sword passed him by, and a strand of loose blond hair turned into gray and black and fell into the sky.

He hissed, pursed his lips and smiled, putting his right hand on his left shoulder.

As the fire sword fell, the dazzling daylight splashed down unbridled. First, a huge golden dragon head emerged, glaring with piercing eyes, and its sharp dragon horns pierced the clouds. Then, a young man with long, bright red hair standing on his back was revealed. His expression was cold and solemn, his face was expressionless, and with a flick of his wrist, another flaming sword solidified.

The fire beat wildly around Him, like playing a sharp lament.

His white robe was covered with red-gold patterns, embroidered with flames and auspicious clouds. He stepped on a pair of slightly curved soap boots. With a slight kick, he detached himself from the dragon's back and stabbed forward with a sword!

The strong wind was raging, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Noel's expression remained indifferent, pointing with one hand and speaking in a low and soft voice:

"The earth is broken into boundaries, and the sky is shattered."

"——You will turn into dust for the rest of your life and will never be reborn."

A huge iron-locked door suddenly opened on the path of the flaming sword.

For a moment, Su Lin felt that his ears were extremely quiet, as if he had fallen into a vacuum environment, and he could not hear any sound or take in any breath.

He had merged with the gods of Yunshang City before, and lost his humanity. He only felt that his heart was like an endless wilderness, and nothing could touch his heartstrings.

If it weren't for a golden dragon named Ian who came to ask for help, claiming that the world was about to overturn. Su Lin would not have come.

However, seeing Su Mingan closing his eyes behind Lu Shu and Lin Yin, Su Lin felt a little heavy in his heart, as if he had something extremely important, entrusted to this black-haired young man, and asked this person to complete it. However, thinking about it carefully gave him a splitting headache.

"Swish!"

Su Lin decisively pulled out a field, isolated the influence of the vacuum environment, swung his right arm heavily, and slashed the flaming sword down, falling into the deep iron-locked door.

The door was covered with heavy ripples, as if a stone shot at a high speed fell into a mirror. However, the iron-locked door trembled wildly for a while, and it was on the verge of breaking several times, but it still stood here.

"... Hmm?" Su Lin showed a slight doubt. After he merged with the gods of Yunshang City, he didn't know how strong he was, but at least his combat power was more than 9,000, so he shouldn't be unable to break Noel's defense.

From an angle that no one could see, Noel pinched the card with two fingers, covered his face with the card, spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was pale, and three of the ten rose petals on the back of his hand withered instantly.

"... You are worthy of being the most reliable... God... I thought you wouldn't come..." Noel said to himself and smiled.

As a companion, Su Lin is really reliable. But as an enemy, he is really scary...

Immediately, Noel lowered his hat, closed his eyes, and waved his hands rhythmically like a conductor, chanting something in his mouth.

The blood-red robe fluttered in the wind, and the slender body of the "magician" stood in the huge sun. His face was completely hidden in the shadow of the backlight, and only the corners of his nose were slightly visible, like an actor under the red sun, preparing for the most exciting performance.

Su Lin's thoughts raced: "... At least three more strikes are needed to defeat Noel. There is not enough time... Su Mingan must be saved first."

With a flash, Su Lin appeared beside Su Mingan, and touched Su Mingan's forehead with his palm.

The black-haired young man has already shown a crystal state, his hair is like snow, his body is like glass, and his flesh and blood turned into fluorescent dots and floated out, like fireworks. There was a hole in his chest, and his heart had long disappeared.

The authority of "faith" has been handed over to Lu Shu, and the authority of "devouring" is still behind Su Mingan and has not been sent out.

The black mist of the eighth seat wrapped around him, and only his cheeks were not swallowed up, revealing a peaceful expression.

"Can you hear me? Su...Su Ming'an." At this moment, Su Lin's eyes awakened a bit of humanity again, and he suddenly recalled some memories. He lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Su Ming'an, if I kill you now, will it work? Will it trigger anything?"

The only answer to him was silence.

The dark swallow slept quietly, with its eyelids closed, sinking into a long-lost sleep.

In a flash, Su Lin thought everything out in his mind:

"Killing him should be useless, otherwise he would commit suicide at the beginning... Or, killing him is still useful, but he is willing to accept such an ending, so he would rather be swallowed than choose to commit suicide... So, no matter which of the above possibilities, I don't need to help him die..."

"But now, Noel Ajinni has used a powerful defensive spell to forcibly summon the Lord of the End of All Things... The situation may have been out of Su Ming'an's control... Do I really not need to help Su Ming'an die?"

"Take action" and "Don't take action" are right or wrong?

Su Lin closed his eyes, forcibly invaded his mind, and used the power of "soul" to enter Su Ming'an's dream to ask what was going on.

He stepped into the dream of a dying person.

In the warm, golden sunflower garden, a black-haired young man was holding a white cat and rolling in the garden. The warm sunlight fell on his face, and he looked at Su Lin gently.

For a moment, Su Lin hesitated whether to break the dream, but he immediately cleared away unnecessary thoughts: "Do you need my help?"

Su Ming'an shook his head.

Should it be comforting?

Please...collect_6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//Bar)

Su Lin finally realized that the death rollback was not before he died... No, it was actually considered as such.

"After Noel Ajinni summoned the Lord of the End of All Things, he would immediately snatch your "devouring" power, and I couldn't stop it. Only by helping you roll back now... can we have a new chance." Su Lin said.

Su Ming'an still shook his head.

Su Lin frowned and said softly: "...Is it useless?"

Su Ming'an smiled silently, raised a finger and put it on his lips:

"Believe me, Engineer Su."

"I heard a voice, he told me that nothing will happen."

"I will do my best to get you home safely."

The dream lasted only a moment, he didn't have to worry that such a blessing would delay Su Lin's time.

The cat hair stuck on his fingers flew, Su Ming'an choked and coughed, shook his hand, and gave up the cool gesture of putting it on his lips.

Su Lin frowned. He was in the same posture before boarding the airship, he couldn't protect himself, but he was thinking about what others would do.

But he still wouldn't stop Su Ming'an.

Just like the ninth world and the tenth world, when faced with this kind of choice, he would never stop Su Mingan. Because he knows better than anyone else that the realization of ideals is far more useful than any relief and happiness.

"...What if I fail to go back? You are no longer here, how can you repay our grievances?" Su Lin stood with his arms crossed, his expression fluctuating, but soon turned indifferent.

When the time comes, when Su Mingan is gone, who should he look to to "account" for?

Then, the most unexpected response from Su Lin appeared.

A ticket-like thing was handed to Su Lin.

The ticket has an image of an angel on the front and some playa text on the back. When the note is turned over, it will glow slightly in the sun.

Su Lin looked at the ticket blankly, and then quickly realized what it was.

His pupils widened instantly and his fingers trembled slightly.

"At that time, please invite the gods from Yunshang City." Su Mingan put one hand on his chest, handed the ticket with one hand, and said with a slight smile:

"...I would like to use this 'indulgence' and your magnanimous and sacred attitude to forgive my mistakes."

…

[Pray to the gods in Yunshang City, and God will forgive your mistakes. 】

[When you kneel in the church and pray devoutly, the angels of pleasure in the city of Yunshang will listen to your confusion. Your voice will reach the gods through the burning stone. The enjoying residents of Yunshang City will also hear from you, and you will emerge from the flames of purgatory. 】

【……】

[This is... a redemption ticket. This thing can only be issued by the Church of Light, and these pictures should have been made by Su Lin himself. 】

[...Why did Su Lin give him something like this? Atonement to whom? 】

[Su Mingan collected the red envelope. 】

…

During the Chinese New Year, Su Lin gave him an indulgence note. Su Lin probably expected that he might not be able to return home, so that Su Ming'an would not have to bear too much psychological burden in advance.

But Su Lin didn't expect that this indulgence note,

It will be in this way,

At this time point,

With this background,

Interact with him like this.

No one would have thought of it.

"You...!" Su Lin uttered a short word, aware that the dream was leaving her.

This is a sign that the dreamer's life force has been exhausted. When the dream collapses, the dreamer will also leave completely.

Su Lin clutched the indulgence note, with a splitting headache in her head. She spread her hands to try to maintain the dream, but there was nothing she could do.

At the end of the field of vision, in the gradually shattering dream, the black-haired young man was still rolling in the flower garden. With a warm and excited expression, he rolled on the lawn, covered in grass leaves and sunshine, like a naive child.

Only at this moment will he show some pure happiness.

Then, he patted the white cat and motioned for it to go away.

The dream was about to collapse, and it was enough to leave him alone here.

The cat took steps and ran towards the distance. After a while, it disappeared.

Finally, on the gradually collapsing lawn, Su Mingan, covered with grass leaves, looked at Su Lin, raised his eyebrows, and waved gently.

His face was as pure and pure as a piece of paper.

The lips opened and closed silently, a piece of Praia vocabulary with a young accent, which should be the product of his practice.

…

"Thank you for helping me along the way, Engineer Su."

"goodbye."

"Getting to know you has been a very pleasant experience in my life."

"I'm lucky, really."

…

"...I would like to honor the arrival of Rotanis with this body."

“Magician” ends the chant.

As the spell falls, the heaven and earth seem to shake, and everything becomes still. Time seemed to stop flowing at this moment, and darkness spread.

Flu, rest for a few days
