I became the old one

Chapter 32 The Return of the Color of the Stars, the Fallen Crazy City

Watching his two children leave the city, gradually drifting away, until the figure was swallowed by the deep darkness in the wilderness and disappeared from his vision.

Only then did Adam reluctantly withdraw his gaze from his heirs.

The entire palace was empty.

I don't know if it was Adam's illusion, but he always felt as if he could hear the sound of walking footsteps from the palace, the sticky sound of wet worms crawling, and the sound of murderous flesh being torn apart.

He walked down the wide corridors of the palace.

Return to your throne.

The fire is still burning vigorously on the candlestick, and the fat collected from the whale can keep the flame burning all night.

It's just that the flames ignited by whale oil are faintly white. Normally, Adam didn't think there was anything wrong with such flames, but now seeing the pale flames on the candlesticks, Adam would always think of those wandering outside the palace. Dragonborn, and the high priest who fell in front of him before.

call!
Adam blew hard on the candlestick.

The flame is out.

The palace was plunged into darkness, only the pervasive starlight spilled from the cracks in the windows, and the whispers in the darkness seemed to become more intensive.

"My perception was blinded by that monster. What I saw was not necessarily what really happened."

Adam thought, "Since perception is blinded, my thoughts may also be disturbed by monsters... This is absolutely not allowed. As a sacrifice, I cannot betray my people, and as a king, I cannot betray my people."

"I should record what is happening... use stones and fire to fight against the evil god hidden in the darkness and starry sky."

Adam took a deep breath, and his expression gradually became firm.

"This is the first day of the disaster. The light from the stars sprinkled from the night, but what brought the dragonborn was not a blessing but a disaster. A terrible plague spread in the city, and the servants of the original fire were killed by the plague. The evil power carried in the body is distorted into a monster, and as the king of the dragonborn, I am determined to fight this terrible plague and block the city until the evil god is completely driven out from this land."

"This is the third day of the catastrophe. I hunt in the dark those children who have fallen into madness. Those children infected by the plague have become crazy and terrible, and even I have to face them. Be careful, fortunately I sent my children out of this city, I hope they can arrive in Gatan City safely, I hope Koswo can teach them well... I am not a qualified father, maybe I am not a qualified king either .”

"This is the seventh day of the disaster. I was wounded in the battle with the monster. Terrible things happened. I saw clusters of tentacles and teeth growing from the wound, and I even saw a star deep in the flesh. The eyes are constantly twisting, looking at me with joyful eyes... I tried to dig out that eye, but more mutations appeared in the wound, I could only choose to give up... Fortunately, the flame bestowed by the gods remained Burn on me."

"Thank you for the blessings of the gods. You are so generous and merciful. Even though my body has fallen, you still haven't given up the gift to me."

……

"Three months, maybe even longer time has passed... I have never felt the passage of time so tormented. There are more and more mutations in my body, the starry sky has become brighter, and sometimes I can be in the sky during the day. I saw the brilliant starry sky in the sky, and the eyes hidden in the starry sky. What happened in the city became more and more incomprehensible. My poor sons were holding a profane ceremony in the square, praising the evil god... I rushed to the altar angrily. Destroy it, but those heirs knelt down and prayed to me instead... What happened?"

"Brilliant starry sky appeared in the sky regardless of day and night. I can no longer feel the passage of time. I woke up from the nightmare and saw the deformed people under the throne praying to me. Our gods are only the original God of Fire, that is the original and only god, but when I drew my sword angrily and slashed at them, the blade passed through the monster like a phantom... I realized sadly that I saw It's not believable anymore, that monster has completely distorted my perception.

Fortunately, I still have a clear mind... I am an embryo born from among the stars, and I am the gospel of the colors of the stars. "

……

"It is loneliness that breaks me down faster than evil gods. I don't remember how long I haven't had a real rest. I don't remember the last time I had a sincere conversation with someone... I started to try sculpture, then It was a craft I learned from a tribal leader when I was young, but fortunately I still remember some of it now, I used the stones in the palace to sculpt the appearance of God, God opened his eyes in the starry sky, and watched me silently."

"It took me a few days to complete the sculptures of my father, my wife, my two children...they are standing next to my throne, so nice, I still have my family by my side in the dark."

……

"Flame...starry sky...primordial chaos..."

"Once more the wine of the night flows in the sky

Xingkong's eyes opened again in a deep sleep.

Golden flames dance in the air,

Make an effort to put a smile on people's faces.

O ignorant people;

Please don't panic,
Follow the colors of the stars and join the grand show. "

……

"Ah! I have done unforgivable blasphemy, that terrible existence is about to descend from the stars... I saw the land desolate, the city collapsed... millions of dragonborn twisted into terrible monsters under the starlight... I had to find a way to stop this from happening."

"Only the gods can defeat the gods...Although the primordial fire god has left for a thousand years, there is still power left by him in this city... If we can do that...maybe..."

"What is this... why did I write on these slates?"

"...Who the hell am I?"
