Lord of Glory

A thousand years ago, shortly after the fall of the holy city of Kasili. ． In the cave under the COM, the stone statue sitting in front of the Kabbalah fallen tree had a pair of empty eyes shining with gold.

"What are you doing here?" Suddenly, there was a low groan from the stone statue. I saw the pure white Paladin suddenly appearing in front of the stone statue, looking at Paladin indifferently with his head lowered. Suddenly he said: "I'm here to see you off." This answer more or less silenced Paladin for a moment, and then asked again: "Send you off, where are you going?" "The end of time, the space outside space. No matter it is Oh, you have to go."

This time, there was a longer silence. Paladin suddenly glanced at his own magic circle, which had collapsed and dissipated to a sad number of less than a thousand, but said with regret in his tone: "I have no power anymore." "Power... Do you remember what I lived?" "I remember, of course I remember." Paladin replied, the golden light in his eyes getting brighter: "I have a human heart."

"So, what do you think of humans?" "Humans?" Obviously, this question made Paladin stunned for a moment, and he thought for a while before answering: "Humans? Get up, I used to look down on humans. I gradually became stronger and reached eternity. Far superior to humans physically and spiritually. At that time, in my opinion, human beings were as small and insignificant as ants. The birth of each human being is a miracle to the entire world. But in my opinion, countless miracles Continuous reproduction is no longer a miracle, but an inevitable destiny. It is a simple and insignificant product."

At this point, Paladin paused for a moment and then stood up: "Human life is too short. They are constrained by their own thoughts and the understanding of their predecessors. They are timid and stubborn. They spend their whole lives pursuing things that they don't need at all. What a sad and pitiful existence this is. However, after I gave up jealousy, I suddenly discovered that for so many years, I had been jealous of human beings and everything about human beings. Jealous of human beings That short and foolish life.”

"Why are you jealous?" White Paladin was still so calm and indifferent. The golden light in Paladin's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Because I was once a human being, and an insignificant existence. I longed for everything that all human beings long for. That's why I chased power. But gradually, I gained power, but I couldn't enjoy it. Everything I longed for. I just wanted to move forward mechanically according to the path set by the power. I didn’t even know if there was an end. In comparison, the short life of human beings seemed beautiful. I But I can’t go back to that time.”

At this point, the white Paladin squatted down, looked into the golden eyes on the stone statue and said: "Now, tell me the answer. What do you think of human beings." "So now I am absolutely convinced that human beings really are. An insignificant and insignificant existence." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a brief silence. Paladin's low, indistinguishable voice came again: "But whether it's noble or not, human or not, great or insignificant, it has nothing to do with me."

"You finally understand." The white Paladin suddenly said, then slowly extended his index finger and said: "I'll wait for you at the door. Paladin." For the first time. For the first time, my white self called my name. But before Paladin could recall what this meant, the white Paladin's outstretched finger gently touched the forehead of the Paladin statue.

In an instant, that familiar suction force struck again! Paladin felt that his consciousness was entering a tunnel. .

In a daze, Paladin opened his eyes and caught sight of him. It is the black Paladin who proudly shows off his almighty eyes and divine wings. Watching Paladin wake up, the black Paladin slowly landed on the ground. He grabbed Paladin, who had only one head left, and shook it jokingly: "Dear friend, there is only one last stop left, do you want to come together? I can't wait to swallow your head in one bite."…,

But beyond the Black Paladin's expectation, there was no emotion in the eyes of Paladin, who had only his head left. He looked at him as calmly and calmly as a stone. "Humph, you have to go even if you don't want to! Everything about you belongs to me!" The ferocious black Paladin said coyly, grabbed Paladin's head and flew up into the sky, towards the Seven Deadly Sins, and finally A circle flew away.

As soon as he landed, the black Paladin kept the Paladin's head in the circle, suspended it in the sky with his hands crossed, and looked down at the head underneath, his face full of pride and pride.

Lying on the floor, looking at the circle of the last crime, there were two big words floating on it: "Greed."

The apocalypse below emerged without any surprise: "The pursuit is broken, the life is destroyed. The years become shackles, live for the sake of living, live greedily. Death begins the final test. Defeat yourself, defeat death."

"Defeat yourself, defeat death..." Paladin's eyes began to brighten as he murmured to himself. But at this time, the black Paladin floated down, picked up Paladin's head, moved it in front of him, laughed wildly and said: "Everything about you is mine! Everything!" After that, he opened his huge head. When his mouth swallowed Paladin in one gulp. Paladin, who had a calm expression, suddenly said: "You, can't eat me." "Huh? What? I can't eat you? Are you scared?" The black Paladin laughed evilly, but Paladin looked sideways and grabbed him. The hand in his hair suddenly said: "Your hand is not holding me."

As soon as he finished speaking, something magical happened! The hand holding the black Paladin's head suddenly disappeared, replaced by a chaotic hand growing out from under the Paladin's head floating in mid-air, gripping his hair. "You, what did you do!" The black Paladin with a frightened face saw that he was missing an arm, and the missing area was in chaos. He immediately pointed at Paladin in fear and asked.

But Paladin still calmly turned his head, looked at his black self, and said slowly again: "I can't be suspended in the air, so I have legs and a body." This blank space was just a blur, and that The hands, feet, belly and body of the black Paladin disappeared instantly! But Paladin stood on the ground intact as if he was reborn.

"Sure enough, sure enough." Looking at his recovered hands and body, Paladin murmured to himself with a calm expression. But in front of him, there was only the black Paladin head falling to the ground, filled with fear and despair! "You didn't get my Almighty Eye and God's Wings at all." Paladin said as he took a step forward. The Almighty Eye on the black Paladin's forehead and the God's Wings floating behind his back disappeared immediately. Reappearing on Paladin's body!

"No, don't do this! No, please!" The black head begged desperately. The long-lost golden Almighty Eye appeared on his forehead, and with the wings of God spread out behind his back, Paladin crouched down, looked down at the black head and said: "Anger, greed, pride, gluttony, lust, jealousy, and laziness. The seven deadly sins. They can all be found in you. And why are you eating me instead? I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it a long time ago."

Paladin, who was so stunned, looked back, and with the power of the Almighty Eye, he could clearly see the seven circles walking along the way. At this moment, in the seven circles, except for the greedy one who was currently stepping on, there were six There is a black limb left in each circle. And when these limbs are put together, they are exactly the whole body of the black Paladin.

"It turns out that from beginning to end, it wasn't you eating me step by step, but me abandoning you step by step. Really? My emotions." Paladin looked at the black head with eyes full of coldness and ruthlessness. Such breaking news! It turns out that this black Paladin is the seven deadly sins of Paladin, the humanity and emotions of Paladin! Every time Paladin takes a step forward, he will naturally have to give up the next sin. Naturally, the black Paladin will also be deprived of part of it.

"I can see the old me in you. Yes, you are the emotion I abandoned along the way. And you are not willing to be abandoned like this, so you are revolting?" "Hehehe..." The black head gave a bitter smile and looked at it. Paladin, who was still cold and emotionless, actually shed tears and said: "I lost, completely lost to you. If you hadn't realized just now and realized that it was me who was actually being weakened step by step, I would have defeated you. I would have defeated you." I will replace you and take charge of everything in reality! I will avoid the fate of being killed. I will...will..."

"It's over, it's all over."

Paladin stood up, looked down at the crying black head and said, "Just stay here. I'm leaving." But when he was about to turn around and leave the circle, heading towards the next circle, the black head suddenly choked with sobs. He shouted in a tone of voice: "Don't go! Do you know what's waiting for you ahead?" As soon as he finished speaking, Paladin stopped immediately, but said without looking back: "It doesn't matter anymore." (To be continued.
