honor me as god
Chapter 959 Destined Death
Chapter 959 Destined Death
(Four in one big chapter, next update No. 28)
The palace, the mansion by the warm water lake, was the place where the two met for the first time.
The layout of the princess bedroom was exactly the same as before. Kino stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and was arranging the dress he was wearing. He adjusted the tie to the proper tightness, smoothed out every wrinkle, and ensured that the details of the dress were neat and flawless.
The gem-like amber eyes are reflected in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a slight smile, as if welcoming an important moment.
Nicole was standing behind Kino at this time, unlike the smile in those amber eyes, Nicole was already sobbing, with tears streaming down her face.
Nicole, as the only one who has followed Kino from the beginning to today, has already gained all of Kino's trust. After the reincarnation rules expired, Kino also told her everything about himself.
Nicole now knows about the incompleteness of the arrogance factor, and also knows that it is not Kino who will complete it in the end.
Nicole once thought that she could follow Kino to the end of her life, and at the last moment before she died, she could still see Kino's never-stopping pace.
She never thought that Kino would come to an end in this way.
She knew that this situation spanned two planes and spanned thousands of years, and it was definitely not something she could change. Even a word of persuasion seemed hypocritical and superfluous.
Therefore, what she should do most is to stand behind Kino unconditionally as usual, and silently follow him to the last moment.
But no matter how hard she forced herself to calm down, her tears still flowed uncontrollably, standing there crying silently.
"All the past will eventually be drowned in the torrent of time, just like tears disappearing in the rain" Kino murmured, speaking the famous dialogue of "Blade Runner" in this world for the second time.
Only this time, he wasn't talking to his enemies.
He looked at himself in the mirror and said the last words:
"The hour of death has come."
Ascension to the Gods, this is a building located in the royal city. It was once thousands of years ago that the Sun King ascended to be the head of the gods and canonize the ancient nine gods.
When Solandelle, accompanied by Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng, arrived at the God's Steps, there was already a sea of people around her. The palace guards separated the crowd on both sides and cleared the main road for them to pass through.
The new generation of king "Dogulland 27" has long been waiting here. His bloated body is wearing a king's robe. He is obviously the king of a country, but at this moment he is as humble as a servant, with his head almost lowered to his waist.
Seeing Solandelle appearing in sight, the king hurried forward with the members of the royal family behind him. None of them dared to look directly at her, with a submissive demeanor, showing awe and fear towards the young former queen.
The king lowered his head. The hero who won the throne in the war didn't even know where to put his hands. When he was at a loss, he took off the crown on his head and handed it to Solandelle, saying in the most humble tone:
"Your Majesty, it's a great honor to see you again. I couldn't bear to see the flames of war spread throughout the country two years ago, and gathered family forces to fight against the rebels. I took care of this kingdom for you for a short time, just waiting for your return."
"Everything I do is for Her Majesty the Queen! Now, the crown belongs to its original owner!"
The king is undoubtedly smart, and he clearly recognizes his position.
No matter how many millions of troops he has under his command, there are countless extraordinary people, how brave he is in the war, and even have the last laugh, but he still knows very well that he is not the king.
The past two years have probably been.
But after both Kino and Solandelle returned, he was no longer an ant at most, an ant stronger than other ants.
It's meaningless to linger on things that don't belong to you, and retreating bravely may not be a good choice.
However, facing the crown that was handed over, Solandelle did not accept it, nor did she look at the "king" from the beginning to the end, just passing by like this, as if he was just dust.
Solandelle looked at the Long Steps to the Gods in front of her. Its steps were all made of polished marble. It is said that it took nearly 10 manpower and was built within a year.
If you look around, you can see the grand steps of ascending the gods, and the swaying fine snow is condensed into white frost on the steps, clean and flawless. It is so high that it seems to be able to reach the sky directly, forming a road leading to the sky.
Under everyone's attention, Solandelle walked up step by step.
More and more people recognized Solandelle. These people had spurned and humiliated her two years ago, and spared no effort to drive her out of the royal city.
Someone threw an egg at her, someone spat in her face, someone kicked her to the ground and kicked her head hard.
It was such a group of people who once regarded her as trash, now looked at her with hot eyes and full of awe.
This is the people she put everything she wanted to save.
They are manipulated wantonly by powerful authority, just like tamed domestic dogs, whether they laugh or get angry is only at the owner's thought.
"Honor to the Queen!"
The first cry sounded out of nowhere, and the waves of sound began to boil one after another, converging into an ocean under the long steps of ascending the gods.
"Honor to the Queen!"
"Honor to the Queen!"
Solandelle had walked for an unknown amount of time, and when she finally reached the Ascension Platform at the top of the long steps, the shouts continued for a long time, and everyone was chanting "Glory to the Queen" frantically.
Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng were 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 watching the person who was coming.
"He will come soon, and we will complete the arrogance factor here. When you become the arrogance of the new generation, he will no longer be able to accompany you. If you encounter any problems, you can find Luo Qingfeng, and he will help you solve them. "
"Solendelle Van Dörgolande, please take his love for you to the final destination."
Solandelle didn't respond, but silently watched the crowd below one after another.
Nobles, civilians, and slaves, everyone knelt on the ground at this moment, worshiping her, and turned into the most fanatical believers, just like when they faced the great regent and shouted "Glory to me!" Lord".
The kneeling crowd kept shouting "Return to the Queen", tried their best to show their admiration, and kowtowed to Solandelle, hoping that this appearance would be remembered in her heart.
Their piety, they felt, would bring a smile to the queen.
As everyone knows, every worship, every shout turned into knives and pierced into Solandelle's heart fiercely, leaving blood dripping 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, abdicating at the age of 27, and returning to the throne at the age of 29, she has experienced 13 years of ups and downs. During this period, she has made countless enemies and encountered many difficulties and ups and downs.
For the ideals buried in her heart when she was a child, she gritted her teeth and walked forward step by step. During the process, she sacrificed her confidant, lost her friends, and abandoned her lover. In the end, all her efforts turned into clouds and became nothing.
Nothing is the most ironic.
The most ironic thing is these cries.
From "Glory to the Sun" to "Glory to My Lord", the sun that hung high for a thousand years fell in her hands, and the shadow of death rose again in the same place.
From "Return to the Lord" to "Return to the Queen", the god of death closed the curtain for her, and pushed her back to the throne.
She spent half her life trying to destroy the gods, and as a result she is now worshiped as a god.
She seemed to understand.
Everything is understood.
This is a cycle.
A reincarnation that no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to break free.
"Hehehe sister, you've still come to this day." Quietly, a voice left in memory sounded behind Solandelle.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the crowd surrounding the god-ranking rank turned into a still picture scroll.
The overwhelming shouts also seemed to be separated by a layer of glass, becoming blurred, only the voice behind him was clearly audible.
Solandelle turned her head and stared blankly at the person standing not far away.
Originally, there were only her, Luo Qingfeng, and Ye Xiaochen on the platform of ascension, but now there was a fourth person standing there.
Andre Dogorand, his half-brother, stood there like a ghost, still as dark as he remembered.
Luo Qingfeng didn't notice, neither did Ye Xiaochen.
This is the ghost of memory that only Solandelle can see.
Andre looked at Solandelle with mocking eyes, and his voice was deliberately long, full of mockery: "Sister, did I tell you that you can't be the queen."
"The throne is not for people, especially for people who sympathize with others."
Andre walked over slowly, stood next to Solandelle, and together with her overlooked the crowd below the God's steps: "Look at these people, are they worth saving?"
"Follow the crowd ignorantly, follow the power like a dog, and never remember the care and compassion you gave. This is the case now, and it will still be the same in a thousand years."
"It is impossible for human beings to change human beings, only gods can lead human beings."
"How sad that what you've been trying to do since the beginning, and what you've spent half your life doing, is an impossible thing."
Andre's hand caressed Solandelle's cheek, which was as cold as death, but it was really his brother's caress for his sister: "Sister, you are tired, it's time to rest."
If there is a seemingly invisible touch that shatters in an instant and turns into nothingness, Andre's shadow and voice disappear together,
Instead, there were two hands resting lightly on both shoulders.
Solandelle looked back, Perseus and Catherine were standing behind, looking at her kindly.
Her eyes were empty and she said softly, "Dad, Mom, I can't seem to do anything."
Perseus and Catherine showed gentle smiles, they walked over and opened their arms, holding Solandelle in their arms.
"Daughter, you have worked hard."
In the arms of her parents, unprecedented sorrow spread in Solandelle's heart. She hugged tightly in the arms of the two of them, trying to suppress the overwhelming sadness, but still shed tears.
Hey, why are you crying again.
Obviously 29 years old, still a crybaby
When Solandelle hugged her parents tightly, suddenly there was applause, deserted but continuous.
She raised her head and looked forward, where Ma Ban and Aurora were standing.
The two confidantes who have committed themselves to the law are leaning against each other, with happy smiles on their faces, and are applauding for Solandelle.
With tears in her eyes, Solandelle murmured, "Maban, Aurora, I'm sorry, I failed your sacrifice."
Both Maban and Aurora showed open-minded smiles, they walked up side by side, and gently put their hands on Solandelle's shoulder.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard."
At this time, silver bell-like laughter sounded, followed by the cheerful barking of dogs.
Solandelle looked in the direction of the voice, and there was a little girl standing there, raising her small hand to greet her enthusiastically, and the big yellow dog beside her also stuck out her tongue and wagged its tail cheerfully at her.
Looking at the little girl not far away, Solandelle touched the rags tied around her wrist.
Since she was 12 years old, this rag has been tied to her wrist, and she never leaves her body no matter where 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 rags have faded, and now they are still tied to Solandelle's wrist, fluttering in the wind, which is the trace of 17 years of ups and downs.
Solandelle looked at the little girl and whispered softly: "It's been 17 years, and I still don't know your name."
The little girl grinned with a clear smile, and ran up with the big yellow dog to hold Solandelle, her hands were as soft as cotton candy.
"Sister, you have worked hard." The little girl said sweetly.
The warm wind brushed Solandelle's cheeks, and the dragon's chant resounded across the sky.
She raised her head and saw a crimson dragon hovering, and the knight on the dragon's back had the same hair color as the dragon, washing away in the air like a flame.
That is the giant dragon Fei Ye, and the knight who never abandons it, Lorna.
Looking at the old friend she met in childhood, tears blurred Solandelle's vision again. She sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Nana, I'm sorry. In my life, the person I'm most sorry for is you."
Fei Ye hovered in the air for a long time, rising higher and higher several times, as if it was about to leave, but in the end, it landed in front of Solandelle.
Lorna jumped off the dragon's back, and the running figure was like running towards her countless times when she was a child, holding her tightly in her arms.
Lorna helped Solandelle wipe away her tears, and put her cheek against her forehead tenderly.
"Solan, you've worked hard."
Surrounded by so many people, Solandelle slowly closed her eyes, her vision gradually darkened, and her consciousness seemed to be jumping in the past life.
Sometimes I feel like I have become a newborn baby, being held in the arms of my parents, listening to the gentle lullaby, and falling asleep with a strong sense of security.
Sometimes it will be several years, she is sitting on the throne, and Ma Ban is giving a speech to His Royal Highness. At this time, Miss Aurora is still far away, a stranger to him, waiting alone for the person who is destined to appear.
For a moment, she seemed to be back in Twilight City, and the little girl led the cute big yellow dog behind her. They ate cakes and drank sugar water together, and ran hand in hand through the streets and alleys.
Immediately afterwards, it was back to childhood, the evening wind echoed the bell for the end of class, and the students after school were bustling. Lorna took the lead and ran out of the college. The red school gate, smiling and beckoning to her.
The short time stretches infinitely, and the scenes of the past life are like a scroll, mottled and unfolded in Solandelle's consciousness.
Solandelle 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 scroll, she returned to the present, and the old people were still hugging her around, and the person who left the deepest trace in her life came before her at some unknown time.
"See you again, little princess."
Seventeen years ago, she was just a young child, and he appeared in her life so suddenly.
She remembered that it was a sunny morning, with a gentle breeze blowing outside the window, dappled sunlight falling on his body, and the surroundings were full of the scent of laurel blossoms in full bloom.
At that time, everything was so peaceful, there was no hustle and bustle, no disputes, only the throbbing when we first met, and the longing for the future.
Kino's figure was reflected in Solandelle's pupils, and she asked faintly, "Nuo, do you want to become a god that much?"
Back in time, the moonlight slanted down from the blue night sky, fell on the warm lake in the evening breeze, and also illuminated the two lovers who had a long talk by the lake.
Kino raised his head and looked at the stars shining in the night for billions of years, as if he was watching the supreme existence behind time and space.
"I just want to go to the end and witness the answer."
Quietly, countless voices poured into Solandelle's mind at this moment, echoing in her consciousness.
"Your confusion and entanglement, your long life, may be just a string of data and a symbol fabricated by the Supreme Being. Everything is illusory."
"What is our own existence. Before eternity, we are nothing."
"There is only another eternal existence that can face eternity across time, and that is the rejecter."
"As an eternal life, he is willing to stop before the end for you. This is love, silly girl, this is love."
"In his heart, no matter the past, present, or future, on every time scale, he loves you deeply"
"As long as you are still alive, he will never be able to reach the end."
"As long as you are still alive, he will never be able to reach the end."
"As long as you are still alive, he will never be able to reach the end."
Amidst the numerous echoes, Solandelle felt a familiar embrace. It was Kino hugging her, leaning over to kiss her lips lightly.
"Today is Huixue's 30th day. It's your birthday. Make a wish, little princess."
Solandelle's eyes became more and more clear, and all the memories of being together blended together at this moment, and the past years melted in her heart like fireworks.
She smiled, a smile of relief and relief.
"May you get the answer you want."
"Pfft!!!"
Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng stood behind Solandelle, waiting for Kino's arrival, but they heard the sound of foam gushing without warning.
A scarlet blood bud burst out from Solandelle's heart, and the mysterious and supreme power surged like a tsunami, and finally turned into a black brand, which was forever branded in her body.
The Sun King, once the leader of the gods, and now the chief powerhouse in the world of reincarnation, two strong men who have gone through countless life and death ups and downs, and will not change their colors in the face of apocalypse, their eyes are wide open at this time, and their liver and gallbladder are almost broken.
They recognized the black brand, and also recognized the terrifying power.
Doomed to die!
"No!!!!" Ye Xiaochen's eyes were shattered, he almost screamed, and rushed towards Solandelle like crazy.
At the same time, Luo Qingfeng stretched his sleeves violently, and a glass bottle flew out of it, hanging in his palm.
This magical instrument is called "Yuanying Bottle", which can seal up a ray of soul, even if the body is destroyed, as long as the soul is still there, it can reshape the body and live forever.
The Nascent Soul bottle originally sealed Luo Qingfeng's cultivation and condensed Nascent Soul, which is his second life in the true sense, and it is also a hole card that can change his life against the sky at a critical moment.
But at this time, he was so decisive that he was almost crazy, without even the slightest hesitation, he directly killed the Nascent Soul, emptying the Nascent Soul bottle.
Luo Qingfeng poured Dao power into the Nascent Soul bottle, and the true energy instantly wrapped Solandelle's fallen body, trying to draw a wisp of Nascent Spirit from her body and seal it into the bottle.
However, Luo Qingfeng's heart soon became cold, because the Nascent Soul Bottle did not respond to Solandelle.
There is only one possibility.
"No no no no no! No!! You can't die!!! You can't die!!!" Ye Xiaochen screamed heart-piercingly, he grabbed Solandelle's lapel and shook the body frantically Unresponsive body.
Solandelle's pupils reflected Ye Xiaochen's distorted face, as well as the more distant sky, but there was no look of life, only the blood was continuously flowing from the heart, gathering into a scarlet pool of blood below her body.
Doomed Death, like the Devil's Eye of Immediate Death, is the cruelest force in the world.
Once affected by the doomed death, no matter how glorious the past is, no matter how noble the status is, no matter how powerful the power is, no matter what method is used to rescue, the life will enter the doomed death.
The game that had been waiting for thousands of years just shattered in front of his eyes without any warning, Ye Xiaochen screamed heart-piercingly, with foam overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
Even Luo Qingfeng, who did not change his face when the sky collapsed in front of him, had dilated pupils and stood there numbly.
"There is still a chance. Complete it first. Eat her! Complete it first! Eat her!!!" Ye Xiaochen roared, no longer suppressing the gluttony cells in his body, and released them all, scarlet tentacles burst out of his body , intertwined and twisted in front of him to form a huge mouth.
However, before Ye Xiaochen had time to swallow Solandelle's body, something that made him desperate happened.
There was a faint light between Solandelle's eyebrows, which kept getting brighter, and condensed into a dazzling spot, like a sleeping firefly being awakened, and flew out of its body to the snowy sky.
The spot of light kept getting brighter during the ascension, and it shone with blazing brilliance. Everyone stared blankly at it, with this dreamlike brilliance reflected in their eyes.
"Arrogance factor." Luo Qingfeng murmured the name of the spot.
At first, everyone was still terrified by the death of the Queen, but the spot of light hanging high in the sky was so bright that it seemed to have an irresistible magic power, which made people sink and brought people's attention to it.
Among the silent crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "That's "Divinity"! "
Divinity, what a beautiful word.
People quickly remembered the legends in ancient myths, the reason why gods are different from ordinary people is because they have unparalleled divinity.
Before that, no one knew what divinity was, because it was beyond the reach of mortals.
But at this moment, before this vicissitudes of life, at the moment when the queen who was regarded as the future god fell down, everyone seemed to have the answer in their hearts.
Yes, that spot of light is divinity!It is the most shining thing under the sky, and it is also the greatest existence in this mortal world!
It is not because the gods are gods first that they have divinity.
But mortals possess divinity, which makes them gods.
The divinity that emerges from the queen after her death is the best proof!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the shining arrogance factor began to split, turning into countless soul-stirring light traces that leaped in the air, rushing to the ends of the world, 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. Its destination is to split into thousands of pieces, randomly enter the human body of this world, and wait for completion.
People soon discovered this shocking phenomenon, countless traces of light descended from the sky, and the dreamlike colors were so mysterious and magnificent, like a treasure bestowed by the gods to this world.
The shattered arrogance factor sprinkled into the world along with the snow all over the sky, and entered the body of the new host. The whole body of those "chosen ones" became bright, and the dazzling light ran around along the blood.
They looked at their bodies intoxicated, as if they were reborn from the ashes, the tiny mortal bodies became the past, and their souls seemed to be able to fly into the air, turning into gods who created the world.
Frenzied restlessness spread through the crowd like a tsunami, and everyone fell into hysterical madness.
"Divinity. Divinity is coming! Grab it!!!"
"That divinity is coming for me! Go away! Go away, all of you!"
"Ahahahaha!! I have gained divinity!! I am a god!! I will be a god from now on!!!"
"Glory to you, my lord, glory to you. Please allow me to be your first believer!"
Nobles, civilians, slaves, crazy, everyone is crazy.
The crowd below the gods' ranks is like a black cloud. Everyone pushes each other and bumps into each other. They all stretch their arms and raise them into the air, wanting to touch the arrogance factor that descended from the sky.
Any bit of rationality vanishes at this moment, and what fills people's minds is only the endless desire to acquire divinity and become a god.
A slave was originally held by a nobleman with a rope. Suddenly, the arrogance factor that fell from the sky entered his body, and the light shone wantonly in his blood.
After the initial sluggishness, the slave laughed hysterically. He ran back and forth dancing, knocked down his noble master, grabbed the rope and beat him: "I have become a god! Mortals, fear me, fear me !!!”
This nobleman is an extraordinary person, with his strength, he can kill slaves like trampling ants to death.
Usually, he is also very irritable towards his slaves, and he will beat and scold them if something goes wrong, but if the other party dares to offend him even a little bit, he will cut off a part of his body as punishment.
However, at this time, facing the slave who whipped him, the nobleman was so frightened that he folded his hands on his chest and shivered, begging for mercy.
The reason for his fear is simple, because he is not favored by the gods, but just a mortal.
Mortals cannot disobey the gods.
Of course, not every noble is so unlucky.
The arrogance factor is equal to the world, and there will be no difference due to social status. There are also many nobles who have obtained the favor of the arrogance factor.
A precarious factor of arrogance entered the body of a nobleman. He was the focus of many people's attention because of his gorgeous clothes, but now he became even more eye-catching.
The moment the nobleman was favored by the arrogance factor, the surrounding crowd flocked to this side like crazy, and those who did not "become gods" either knelt or crawled, and prostrated themselves in front of this "new god" one after another.
"Gods above, please allow me to be your servant!"
"Master 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 be in awe of you forever and ever! God! My supreme god!"
At first, the nobleman was extremely confused about being favored by the gods, and he couldn't believe that he was so lucky.
But the human heart is so strange. After the earth-shaking changes, from being a mortal to a self-proclaimed god, the change of mentality is only a flick of a finger.
The nobleman was silent for a moment, showing a bright smile. He opened his arms to the crowd who were shouting towards him, attracting more enthusiastic cheers, as if the supreme Lord was embracing the believers.
There are many nobles favored by the arrogance factor.
Unfortunately, the current king is not among them.
The arrogance factor dragged the trace of light and rushed past the king. He stretched out his hand to catch it, but the trace of light 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 a clear liquid flowed out of his eyes unconsciously, which were tears of joy.
He knows that his life has ushered in a transformation, and from now on he will no longer be inferior to others, and the supreme life begins ahead.
He looked at the king, his reverent gaze disappeared, replaced by a falcon-like shadow of prey.
As the king who came out of the flames of war, the king was not as crazy as others.
He looked at the minister with dark eyes, and drew out his sword directly, with an angry expression on his beard and hair: "I know! I knew you were rebellious! Have you been coveting my throne for a long time? Come, take him down!"
However, the imperial guards who were originally 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 imperial guards left the king one after another, stood behind the minister one after another, and looked at the king with the same sinister eyes.
The minister showed his gloomy white teeth, and said with a sneer: "It seems that you should abdicate, Your Majesty, I promise to give you a good old age."
The king held the sword in front of him, bared his teeth and cursed: "I am the king! I am your king! I am... ah!!!"
The king suddenly screamed, and two bloody blades pierced his forehead.
He looked back with all his strength, and saw that the left and right hands of his canonized king were standing behind him, holding a sword in each hand, which had already pierced into his body.
"Only the gods can lead us." The king's left and right hands drew out the sharp sword, brought blood spurts, and stabbed at the king again, again and again.
The imperial guards also drew their swords and did the same thing, chopping the king to the ground in groups of three and four, and the blood flying like scarlet flowers bloomed, which was proof of their allegiance to the new king.
The entire royal city has fallen into turmoil, and this turmoil is spreading to all parts of the world, because the arrogance factor that falls in the royal city is only a small part, and more flock to the north and south, looking for the "favored" host.
In this ancient capital, everyone was immersed in the sea of frenzy, and no one looked at the Queen's steps to ascend to the gods, and no one cared about the figure falling in the snow.
The snow fell more and more heavily, obscuring the already hazy vision. White snowflakes covered Solandelle's body, like a warm velvet quilt, accompanying her to an eternal sleep.
People who are chasing "divinity" will not notice that Ye Xiaochen is kneeling beside Solandelle, hissing to the sky and crying loudly.
"It's over. Everyone in this world is over."

(Four in one big chapter, next update No. 28)
The palace, the mansion by the warm water lake, was the place where the two met for the first time.
The layout of the princess bedroom was exactly the same as before. Kino stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and was arranging the dress he was wearing. He adjusted the tie to the proper tightness, smoothed out every wrinkle, and ensured that the details of the dress were neat and flawless.
The gem-like amber eyes are reflected in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, with a slight smile, as if welcoming an important moment.
Nicole was standing behind Kino at this time, unlike the smile in those amber eyes, Nicole was already sobbing, with tears streaming down her face.
Nicole, as the only one who has followed Kino from the beginning to today, has already gained all of Kino's trust. After the reincarnation rules expired, Kino also told her everything about himself.
Nicole now knows about the incompleteness of the arrogance factor, and also knows that it is not Kino who will complete it in the end.
Nicole once thought that she could follow Kino to the end of her life, and at the last moment before she died, she could still see Kino's never-stopping pace.
She never thought that Kino would come to an end in this way.
She knew that this situation spanned two planes and spanned thousands of years, and it was definitely not something she could change. Even a word of persuasion seemed hypocritical and superfluous.
Therefore, what she should do most is to stand behind Kino unconditionally as usual, and silently follow him to the last moment.
But no matter how hard she forced herself to calm down, her tears still flowed uncontrollably, standing there crying silently.
"All the past will eventually be drowned in the torrent of time, just like tears disappearing in the rain" Kino murmured, speaking the famous dialogue of "Blade Runner" in this world for the second time.
Only this time, he wasn't talking to his enemies.
He looked at himself in the mirror and said the last words:
"The hour of death has come."
Ascension to the Gods, this is a building located in the royal city. It was once thousands of years ago that the Sun King ascended to be the head of the gods and canonize the ancient nine gods.
When Solandelle, accompanied by Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng, arrived at the God's Steps, there was already a sea of people around her. The palace guards separated the crowd on both sides and cleared the main road for them to pass through.
The new generation of king "Dogulland 27" has long been waiting here. His bloated body is wearing a king's robe. He is obviously the king of a country, but at this moment he is as humble as a servant, with his head almost lowered to his waist.
Seeing Solandelle appearing in sight, the king hurried forward with the members of the royal family behind him. None of them dared to look directly at her, with a submissive demeanor, showing awe and fear towards the young former queen.
The king lowered his head. The hero who won the throne in the war didn't even know where to put his hands. When he was at a loss, he took off the crown on his head and handed it to Solandelle, saying in the most humble tone:
"Your Majesty, it's a great honor to see you again. I couldn't bear to see the flames of war spread throughout the country two years ago, and gathered family forces to fight against the rebels. I took care of this kingdom for you for a short time, just waiting for your return."
"Everything I do is for Her Majesty the Queen! Now, the crown belongs to its original owner!"
The king is undoubtedly smart, and he clearly recognizes his position.
No matter how many millions of troops he has under his command, there are countless extraordinary people, how brave he is in the war, and even have the last laugh, but he still knows very well that he is not the king.
The past two years have probably been.
But after both Kino and Solandelle returned, he was no longer an ant at most, an ant stronger than other ants.
It's meaningless to linger on things that don't belong to you, and retreating bravely may not be a good choice.
However, facing the crown that was handed over, Solandelle did not accept it, nor did she look at the "king" from the beginning to the end, just passing by like this, as if he was just dust.
Solandelle looked at the Long Steps to the Gods in front of her. Its steps were all made of polished marble. It is said that it took nearly 10 manpower and was built within a year.
If you look around, you can see the grand steps of ascending the gods, and the swaying fine snow is condensed into white frost on the steps, clean and flawless. It is so high that it seems to be able to reach the sky directly, forming a road leading to the sky.
Under everyone's attention, Solandelle walked up step by step.
More and more people recognized Solandelle. These people had spurned and humiliated her two years ago, and spared no effort to drive her out of the royal city.
Someone threw an egg at her, someone spat in her face, someone kicked her to the ground and kicked her head hard.
It was such a group of people who once regarded her as trash, now looked at her with hot eyes and full of awe.
This is the people she put everything she wanted to save.
They are manipulated wantonly by powerful authority, just like tamed domestic dogs, whether they laugh or get angry is only at the owner's thought.
"Honor to the Queen!"
The first cry sounded out of nowhere, and the waves of sound began to boil one after another, converging into an ocean under the long steps of ascending the gods.
"Honor to the Queen!"
"Honor to the Queen!"
Solandelle had walked for an unknown amount of time, and when she finally reached the Ascension Platform at the top of the long steps, the shouts continued for a long time, and everyone was chanting "Glory to the Queen" frantically.
Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng were 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 watching the person who was coming.
"He will come soon, and we will complete the arrogance factor here. When you become the arrogance of the new generation, he will no longer be able to accompany you. If you encounter any problems, you can find Luo Qingfeng, and he will help you solve them. "
"Solendelle Van Dörgolande, please take his love for you to the final destination."
Solandelle didn't respond, but silently watched the crowd below one after another.
Nobles, civilians, and slaves, everyone knelt on the ground at this moment, worshiping her, and turned into the most fanatical believers, just like when they faced the great regent and shouted "Glory to me!" Lord".
The kneeling crowd kept shouting "Return to the Queen", tried their best to show their admiration, and kowtowed to Solandelle, hoping that this appearance would be remembered in her heart.
Their piety, they felt, would bring a smile to the queen.
As everyone knows, every worship, every shout turned into knives and pierced into Solandelle's heart fiercely, leaving blood dripping 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, abdicating at the age of 27, and returning to the throne at the age of 29, she has experienced 13 years of ups and downs. During this period, she has made countless enemies and encountered many difficulties and ups and downs.
For the ideals buried in her heart when she was a child, she gritted her teeth and walked forward step by step. During the process, she sacrificed her confidant, lost her friends, and abandoned her lover. In the end, all her efforts turned into clouds and became nothing.
Nothing is the most ironic.
The most ironic thing is these cries.
From "Glory to the Sun" to "Glory to My Lord", the sun that hung high for a thousand years fell in her hands, and the shadow of death rose again in the same place.
From "Return to the Lord" to "Return to the Queen", the god of death closed the curtain for her, and pushed her back to the throne.
She spent half her life trying to destroy the gods, and as a result she is now worshiped as a god.
She seemed to understand.
Everything is understood.
This is a cycle.
A reincarnation that no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to break free.
"Hehehe sister, you've still come to this day." Quietly, a voice left in memory sounded behind Solandelle.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the crowd surrounding the god-ranking rank turned into a still picture scroll.
The overwhelming shouts also seemed to be separated by a layer of glass, becoming blurred, only the voice behind him was clearly audible.
Solandelle turned her head and stared blankly at the person standing not far away.
Originally, there were only her, Luo Qingfeng, and Ye Xiaochen on the platform of ascension, but now there was a fourth person standing there.
Andre Dogorand, his half-brother, stood there like a ghost, still as dark as he remembered.
Luo Qingfeng didn't notice, neither did Ye Xiaochen.
This is the ghost of memory that only Solandelle can see.
Andre looked at Solandelle with mocking eyes, and his voice was deliberately long, full of mockery: "Sister, did I tell you that you can't be the queen."
"The throne is not for people, especially for people who sympathize with others."
Andre walked over slowly, stood next to Solandelle, and together with her overlooked the crowd below the God's steps: "Look at these people, are they worth saving?"
"Follow the crowd ignorantly, follow the power like a dog, and never remember the care and compassion you gave. This is the case now, and it will still be the same in a thousand years."
"It is impossible for human beings to change human beings, only gods can lead human beings."
"How sad that what you've been trying to do since the beginning, and what you've spent half your life doing, is an impossible thing."
Andre's hand caressed Solandelle's cheek, which was as cold as death, but it was really his brother's caress for his sister: "Sister, you are tired, it's time to rest."
If there is a seemingly invisible touch that shatters in an instant and turns into nothingness, Andre's shadow and voice disappear together,
Instead, there were two hands resting lightly on both shoulders.
Solandelle looked back, Perseus and Catherine were standing behind, looking at her kindly.
Her eyes were empty and she said softly, "Dad, Mom, I can't seem to do anything."
Perseus and Catherine showed gentle smiles, they walked over and opened their arms, holding Solandelle in their arms.
"Daughter, you have worked hard."
In the arms of her parents, unprecedented sorrow spread in Solandelle's heart. She hugged tightly in the arms of the two of them, trying to suppress the overwhelming sadness, but still shed tears.
Hey, why are you crying again.
Obviously 29 years old, still a crybaby
When Solandelle hugged her parents tightly, suddenly there was applause, deserted but continuous.
She raised her head and looked forward, where Ma Ban and Aurora were standing.
The two confidantes who have committed themselves to the law are leaning against each other, with happy smiles on their faces, and are applauding for Solandelle.
With tears in her eyes, Solandelle murmured, "Maban, Aurora, I'm sorry, I failed your sacrifice."
Both Maban and Aurora showed open-minded smiles, they walked up side by side, and gently put their hands on Solandelle's shoulder.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard."
At this time, silver bell-like laughter sounded, followed by the cheerful barking of dogs.
Solandelle looked in the direction of the voice, and there was a little girl standing there, raising her small hand to greet her enthusiastically, and the big yellow dog beside her also stuck out her tongue and wagged its tail cheerfully at her.
Looking at the little girl not far away, Solandelle touched the rags tied around her wrist.
Since she was 12 years old, this rag has been tied to her wrist, and she never leaves her body no matter where 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 rags have faded, and now they are still tied to Solandelle's wrist, fluttering in the wind, which is the trace of 17 years of ups and downs.
Solandelle looked at the little girl and whispered softly: "It's been 17 years, and I still don't know your name."
The little girl grinned with a clear smile, and ran up with the big yellow dog to hold Solandelle, her hands were as soft as cotton candy.
"Sister, you have worked hard." The little girl said sweetly.
The warm wind brushed Solandelle's cheeks, and the dragon's chant resounded across the sky.
She raised her head and saw a crimson dragon hovering, and the knight on the dragon's back had the same hair color as the dragon, washing away in the air like a flame.
That is the giant dragon Fei Ye, and the knight who never abandons it, Lorna.
Looking at the old friend she met in childhood, tears blurred Solandelle's vision again. She sobbed and said, "I'm sorry, Nana, I'm sorry. In my life, the person I'm most sorry for is you."
Fei Ye hovered in the air for a long time, rising higher and higher several times, as if it was about to leave, but in the end, it landed in front of Solandelle.
Lorna jumped off the dragon's back, and the running figure was like running towards her countless times when she was a child, holding her tightly in her arms.
Lorna helped Solandelle wipe away her tears, and put her cheek against her forehead tenderly.
"Solan, you've worked hard."
Surrounded by so many people, Solandelle slowly closed her eyes, her vision gradually darkened, and her consciousness seemed to be jumping in the past life.
Sometimes I feel like I have become a newborn baby, being held in the arms of my parents, listening to the gentle lullaby, and falling asleep with a strong sense of security.
Sometimes it will be several years, she is sitting on the throne, and Ma Ban is giving a speech to His Royal Highness. At this time, Miss Aurora is still far away, a stranger to him, waiting alone for the person who is destined to appear.
For a moment, she seemed to be back in Twilight City, and the little girl led the cute big yellow dog behind her. They ate cakes and drank sugar water together, and ran hand in hand through the streets and alleys.
Immediately afterwards, it was back to childhood, the evening wind echoed the bell for the end of class, and the students after school were bustling. Lorna took the lead and ran out of the college. The red school gate, smiling and beckoning to her.
The short time stretches infinitely, and the scenes of the past life are like a scroll, mottled and unfolded in Solandelle's consciousness.
Solandelle 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 scroll, she returned to the present, and the old people were still hugging her around, and the person who left the deepest trace in her life came before her at some unknown time.
"See you again, little princess."
Seventeen years ago, she was just a young child, and he appeared in her life so suddenly.
She remembered that it was a sunny morning, with a gentle breeze blowing outside the window, dappled sunlight falling on his body, and the surroundings were full of the scent of laurel blossoms in full bloom.
At that time, everything was so peaceful, there was no hustle and bustle, no disputes, only the throbbing when we first met, and the longing for the future.
Kino's figure was reflected in Solandelle's pupils, and she asked faintly, "Nuo, do you want to become a god that much?"
Back in time, the moonlight slanted down from the blue night sky, fell on the warm lake in the evening breeze, and also illuminated the two lovers who had a long talk by the lake.
Kino raised his head and looked at the stars shining in the night for billions of years, as if he was watching the supreme existence behind time and space.
"I just want to go to the end and witness the answer."
Quietly, countless voices poured into Solandelle's mind at this moment, echoing in her consciousness.
"Your confusion and entanglement, your long life, may be just a string of data and a symbol fabricated by the Supreme Being. Everything is illusory."
"What is our own existence. Before eternity, we are nothing."
"There is only another eternal existence that can face eternity across time, and that is the rejecter."
"As an eternal life, he is willing to stop before the end for you. This is love, silly girl, this is love."
"In his heart, no matter the past, present, or future, on every time scale, he loves you deeply"
"As long as you are still alive, he will never be able to reach the end."
"As long as you are still alive, he will never be able to reach the end."
"As long as you are still alive, he will never be able to reach the end."
Amidst the numerous echoes, Solandelle felt a familiar embrace. It was Kino hugging her, leaning over to kiss her lips lightly.
"Today is Huixue's 30th day. It's your birthday. Make a wish, little princess."
Solandelle's eyes became more and more clear, and all the memories of being together blended together at this moment, and the past years melted in her heart like fireworks.
She smiled, a smile of relief and relief.
"May you get the answer you want."
"Pfft!!!"
Ye Xiaochen and Luo Qingfeng stood behind Solandelle, waiting for Kino's arrival, but they heard the sound of foam gushing without warning.
A scarlet blood bud burst out from Solandelle's heart, and the mysterious and supreme power surged like a tsunami, and finally turned into a black brand, which was forever branded in her body.
The Sun King, once the leader of the gods, and now the chief powerhouse in the world of reincarnation, two strong men who have gone through countless life and death ups and downs, and will not change their colors in the face of apocalypse, their eyes are wide open at this time, and their liver and gallbladder are almost broken.
They recognized the black brand, and also recognized the terrifying power.
Doomed to die!
"No!!!!" Ye Xiaochen's eyes were shattered, he almost screamed, and rushed towards Solandelle like crazy.
At the same time, Luo Qingfeng stretched his sleeves violently, and a glass bottle flew out of it, hanging in his palm.
This magical instrument is called "Yuanying Bottle", which can seal up a ray of soul, even if the body is destroyed, as long as the soul is still there, it can reshape the body and live forever.
The Nascent Soul bottle originally sealed Luo Qingfeng's cultivation and condensed Nascent Soul, which is his second life in the true sense, and it is also a hole card that can change his life against the sky at a critical moment.
But at this time, he was so decisive that he was almost crazy, without even the slightest hesitation, he directly killed the Nascent Soul, emptying the Nascent Soul bottle.
Luo Qingfeng poured Dao power into the Nascent Soul bottle, and the true energy instantly wrapped Solandelle's fallen body, trying to draw a wisp of Nascent Spirit from her body and seal it into the bottle.
However, Luo Qingfeng's heart soon became cold, because the Nascent Soul Bottle did not respond to Solandelle.
There is only one possibility.
"No no no no no! No!! You can't die!!! You can't die!!!" Ye Xiaochen screamed heart-piercingly, he grabbed Solandelle's lapel and shook the body frantically Unresponsive body.
Solandelle's pupils reflected Ye Xiaochen's distorted face, as well as the more distant sky, but there was no look of life, only the blood was continuously flowing from the heart, gathering into a scarlet pool of blood below her body.
Doomed Death, like the Devil's Eye of Immediate Death, is the cruelest force in the world.
Once affected by the doomed death, no matter how glorious the past is, no matter how noble the status is, no matter how powerful the power is, no matter what method is used to rescue, the life will enter the doomed death.
The game that had been waiting for thousands of years just shattered in front of his eyes without any warning, Ye Xiaochen screamed heart-piercingly, with foam overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
Even Luo Qingfeng, who did not change his face when the sky collapsed in front of him, had dilated pupils and stood there numbly.
"There is still a chance. Complete it first. Eat her! Complete it first! Eat her!!!" Ye Xiaochen roared, no longer suppressing the gluttony cells in his body, and released them all, scarlet tentacles burst out of his body , intertwined and twisted in front of him to form a huge mouth.
However, before Ye Xiaochen had time to swallow Solandelle's body, something that made him desperate happened.
There was a faint light between Solandelle's eyebrows, which kept getting brighter, and condensed into a dazzling spot, like a sleeping firefly being awakened, and flew out of its body to the snowy sky.
The spot of light kept getting brighter during the ascension, and it shone with blazing brilliance. Everyone stared blankly at it, with this dreamlike brilliance reflected in their eyes.
"Arrogance factor." Luo Qingfeng murmured the name of the spot.
At first, everyone was still terrified by the death of the Queen, but the spot of light hanging high in the sky was so bright that it seemed to have an irresistible magic power, which made people sink and brought people's attention to it.
Among the silent crowd, someone suddenly shouted: "That's "Divinity"! "
Divinity, what a beautiful word.
People quickly remembered the legends in ancient myths, the reason why gods are different from ordinary people is because they have unparalleled divinity.
Before that, no one knew what divinity was, because it was beyond the reach of mortals.
But at this moment, before this vicissitudes of life, at the moment when the queen who was regarded as the future god fell down, everyone seemed to have the answer in their hearts.
Yes, that spot of light is divinity!It is the most shining thing under the sky, and it is also the greatest existence in this mortal world!
It is not because the gods are gods first that they have divinity.
But mortals possess divinity, which makes them gods.
The divinity that emerges from the queen after her death is the best proof!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the shining arrogance factor began to split, turning into countless soul-stirring light traces that leaped in the air, rushing to the ends of the world, 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. Its destination is to split into thousands of pieces, randomly enter the human body of this world, and wait for completion.
People soon discovered this shocking phenomenon, countless traces of light descended from the sky, and the dreamlike colors were so mysterious and magnificent, like a treasure bestowed by the gods to this world.
The shattered arrogance factor sprinkled into the world along with the snow all over the sky, and entered the body of the new host. The whole body of those "chosen ones" became bright, and the dazzling light ran around along the blood.
They looked at their bodies intoxicated, as if they were reborn from the ashes, the tiny mortal bodies became the past, and their souls seemed to be able to fly into the air, turning into gods who created the world.
Frenzied restlessness spread through the crowd like a tsunami, and everyone fell into hysterical madness.
"Divinity. Divinity is coming! Grab it!!!"
"That divinity is coming for me! Go away! Go away, all of you!"
"Ahahahaha!! I have gained divinity!! I am a god!! I will be a god from now on!!!"
"Glory to you, my lord, glory to you. Please allow me to be your first believer!"
Nobles, civilians, slaves, crazy, everyone is crazy.
The crowd below the gods' ranks is like a black cloud. Everyone pushes each other and bumps into each other. They all stretch their arms and raise them into the air, wanting to touch the arrogance factor that descended from the sky.
Any bit of rationality vanishes at this moment, and what fills people's minds is only the endless desire to acquire divinity and become a god.
A slave was originally held by a nobleman with a rope. Suddenly, the arrogance factor that fell from the sky entered his body, and the light shone wantonly in his blood.
After the initial sluggishness, the slave laughed hysterically. He ran back and forth dancing, knocked down his noble master, grabbed the rope and beat him: "I have become a god! Mortals, fear me, fear me !!!”
This nobleman is an extraordinary person, with his strength, he can kill slaves like trampling ants to death.
Usually, he is also very irritable towards his slaves, and he will beat and scold them if something goes wrong, but if the other party dares to offend him even a little bit, he will cut off a part of his body as punishment.
However, at this time, facing the slave who whipped him, the nobleman was so frightened that he folded his hands on his chest and shivered, begging for mercy.
The reason for his fear is simple, because he is not favored by the gods, but just a mortal.
Mortals cannot disobey the gods.
Of course, not every noble is so unlucky.
The arrogance factor is equal to the world, and there will be no difference due to social status. There are also many nobles who have obtained the favor of the arrogance factor.
A precarious factor of arrogance entered the body of a nobleman. He was the focus of many people's attention because of his gorgeous clothes, but now he became even more eye-catching.
The moment the nobleman was favored by the arrogance factor, the surrounding crowd flocked to this side like crazy, and those who did not "become gods" either knelt or crawled, and prostrated themselves in front of this "new god" one after another.
"Gods above, please allow me to be your servant!"
"Master 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 be in awe of you forever and ever! God! My supreme god!"
At first, the nobleman was extremely confused about being favored by the gods, and he couldn't believe that he was so lucky.
But the human heart is so strange. After the earth-shaking changes, from being a mortal to a self-proclaimed god, the change of mentality is only a flick of a finger.
The nobleman was silent for a moment, showing a bright smile. He opened his arms to the crowd who were shouting towards him, attracting more enthusiastic cheers, as if the supreme Lord was embracing the believers.
There are many nobles favored by the arrogance factor.
Unfortunately, the current king is not among them.
The arrogance factor dragged the trace of light and rushed past the king. He stretched out his hand to catch it, but the trace of light 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 a clear liquid flowed out of his eyes unconsciously, which were tears of joy.
He knows that his life has ushered in a transformation, and from now on he will no longer be inferior to others, and the supreme life begins ahead.
He looked at the king, his reverent gaze disappeared, replaced by a falcon-like shadow of prey.
As the king who came out of the flames of war, the king was not as crazy as others.
He looked at the minister with dark eyes, and drew out his sword directly, with an angry expression on his beard and hair: "I know! I knew you were rebellious! Have you been coveting my throne for a long time? Come, take him down!"
However, the imperial guards who were originally 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 imperial guards left the king one after another, stood behind the minister one after another, and looked at the king with the same sinister eyes.
The minister showed his gloomy white teeth, and said with a sneer: "It seems that you should abdicate, Your Majesty, I promise to give you a good old age."
The king held the sword in front of him, bared his teeth and cursed: "I am the king! I am your king! I am... ah!!!"
The king suddenly screamed, and two bloody blades pierced his forehead.
He looked back with all his strength, and saw that the left and right hands of his canonized king were standing behind him, holding a sword in each hand, which had already pierced into his body.
"Only the gods can lead us." The king's left and right hands drew out the sharp sword, brought blood spurts, and stabbed at the king again, again and again.
The imperial guards also drew their swords and did the same thing, chopping the king to the ground in groups of three and four, and the blood flying like scarlet flowers bloomed, which was proof of their allegiance to the new king.
The entire royal city has fallen into turmoil, and this turmoil is spreading to all parts of the world, because the arrogance factor that falls in the royal city is only a small part, and more flock to the north and south, looking for the "favored" host.
In this ancient capital, everyone was immersed in the sea of frenzy, and no one looked at the Queen's steps to ascend to the gods, and no one cared about the figure falling in the snow.
The snow fell more and more heavily, obscuring the already hazy vision. White snowflakes covered Solandelle's body, like a warm velvet quilt, accompanying her to an eternal sleep.
People who are chasing "divinity" will not notice that Ye Xiaochen is kneeling beside Solandelle, hissing to the sky and crying loudly.
"It's over. Everyone in this world is over."
