The members of the game Group of Ten Thousand Worlds are all myself

Chapter 484: My Choice
"Hey, so I got caught."

There was no sadness or anger in Ludos' tone, only open-mindedness and nostalgia.

"I don't have malicious thoughts in wanting to study refining, because the flames of my era have begun to be unstable. I can't spread fire like a hero, but I can make some contributions as a researcher through other methods."

"The flame needs a strong soul as firewood. At that time, I thought that refining it might become a new technology that could help."

"However, I was exiled because it was a taboo technology. Of course, I am not the only one. The companions who studied and refined with me were all exiled."

"At that time, I discovered that because of the long-term refining experiment, my body has also undergone some changes, and it seems to have become... more difficult to kill."

Having said that, Ludos shook his withered palm, and some small fires flickered on and off in the palm lines.

"After that, while I was wandering with my companions, I continued to practice the experiment. Gradually, my body became stronger and stronger."

"Until I was found by the Fire Spreading Sect."

"At that time, the Chuhuo needed to be passed on again, and the Huochuan faction was also looking for candidates for the Salary King."

"Because I also promoted the technology of refining when I was wandering, so people from the Fire Passing School found me, and I also showed them the technology of refining souls."

"However, they are not interested in refining. Instead, they are interested in my body, because during the process of refining, my body has gradually become stronger."

"After that, the people of the Fire Passing School carefully explored the process of my cultivation, and finally, they discovered the relationship between the cultivation and me."

"It turns out that when I was smelting my soul, I also swallowed a part of the power of the soul, and those powers strengthened my body and soul."

"Before me, there was a priesthood that relied on cannibalism to obtain soul power, and that man-eating guy became the king of salary. They thought that my refining technique was similar to that of the man-eating king of salary."

"But after a series of experiments, those people found that it seems that only I can devour the soul through refining, and none of my companions have this ability. Therefore, I became the candidate for the salary king."

"But to my surprise, the people from the Fire School thought that it was too inefficient for me to use small animals as materials for refining, and they forced me to use humans to refine my soul."

"At that time, I thought it was no different from killing people, but those people didn't give me a choice, because I was an outcast, either to be killed or to accept their arrangements."

"In order not to be killed, in the end, with the persuasion of my companions, I accepted this proposal."

"At least in this way...you can survive."

"In the beginning, they would find some death row prisoners for me to refine, but as the flames gradually extinguished and the sky began to darken, my strength still hadn't reached the level where I could transmit fire."

"If this continues, the flame will be extinguished before I become the salary king."

"However, it's not enough to speed up, because the prisoners who I used as the material for refining at that time were almost exhausted."

"So the fire-spreading sect decided to let me use innocent people to refine it."

"At that time, I still refused. The guilty prisoners were fine. They deserved to die, but the innocent people..."

"Until those people tell me that if the flame goes out, everyone will usher in the end, and it is very worthwhile to exchange the death of some innocent people for the continuation of the world."

"And the first batch of innocent people who need me to refine are those companions who have been with me since Courland. Because they cannot devour their souls through refining, they have no value in continuing to survive."

"Under the persecution of those people, I have no choice."

"All I can do is continue to refine the soul, no... To put it bluntly, all I can do is continue to devour the power of the soul until I can become the salary king."

"It's really too much for an old man doing research to kill people and then become a salary king."

"But I have no choice, because they told me that my refining technique was originally intended to make some contributions to the world, and now is the time to make contributions. I will refine myself into a salary king, and then pass on the flames, and the world will get continue."

"Compared to continuing the world, sacrificing some useless people is nothing."

"Haha, I'm really useless. The technology I refined didn't help the world, but the side effects of refining made it possible for me to help the world."

"After that, I practiced it day and night. Most of the people I refined were innocent. I could smell the soul every night, which brought me endless torture."

"But I have no choice. This is my only way. If I don't continue to practice until I become the Salary King, those I killed will die in vain."

"The world will also fall into darkness because of the extinguishment of the first fire. I have to comfort myself with this. This is all for the great mission of inheriting the flame, so I must become a king. Even if the fire is very weak, it can still continue the world. .”

"And at the last moment when the flames were about to go out and the sky was gray, I had the qualification to pass fire, which was based on the lives of countless people."

"I do not have any choice……"

"I have killed countless people. I just want to do something for this world. Those people told me that spreading fire can save the world, so I will spread it. Even if I want to refine the soul of others... ..."

"I won't refuse either, what right do I have to refuse?"

"I'm not a hero, I'm just...an ordinary person."

Having said that, tears welled up in Ludos's already dry eye sockets.

"In the end, I threw myself into the first fire as firewood. Even though the flames made me extremely painful, even though the burning went deep into my bones, I didn't escape, but stayed."

"Even if the world wants to burn my old bones again, I will not refuse."

"This is the story of Rudos the exile, and it's also my story. It's boring."

After Ludos finished speaking, he smiled and looked at his throne.

"Although I am a staunch fire transmission faction, I will not force you to do something. I have no chance to choose in my life, but you have..."

"Choose to inherit the flame? Or choose to extinguish the flame? That's a choice you can make."

"Of course, you can also choose something else, such as elope with the fire prevention girl."

Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile, it seems that Rudos is more open-minded than he imagined, and he can still make a joke at this time.

But if he really wanted to, even if he wanted to elope, he and the Fireproof Girl would have nowhere to go.

After all, the world is about to be destroyed.

"I understand."

After listening to Ludos' story, Xia Yu stood up and looked at the beautiful figure in a black dress beside the campfire.

"My choice, I have already decided."

Hearing this, Ludos raised his withered head, looked at Xia Yu's face facing the flames, and murmured unconsciously: "Is it my choice? I really envy you."

……

On the last unoccupied throne, after all, he ushered in his own master.

Xia Yu stared blankly at the five thrones above, silent.

Sensing Xia Yu's emotions, the Fireproof Girl slowly came to Xia Yu's side and took his hand: "Master Xia Yu..."

Xia Yu shook the fireproof girl's hand and shook his head: "I'm fine, it's just... a little emotional."

After finishing speaking, he felt the soul of the salary king stored in his body, the soul of wolf blood, the soul of Aldrich, the soul of the twin princes, the soul of the giant Youmu, and finally, the soul of Rudos.

Except for the soul of the cub Eldrich, he stored the souls of every salary king well.

When the world tree grows the first new world, these souls will also become the first batch of new lives.

The misery of the Age of Fire will be washed away by a brand new world.

Soon, everyone in Chuanhuo Sacrificial Field arrived at the scene, because Xia Yu was about to inherit the flames of all the kings of salary, and went to the starting point of everything, the initial furnace.

"Are you going to fulfill your ultimate mission?"

The leader of the Dark Moon Knights, Youer Shika, suddenly stepped up to Xia Yu's side, and then looked down at him.

Yuer Xika has stayed here since Xia Yu forcibly threw Yuer Xika into the fire-spreading sacrificial field last time.

"Although you are the sword of the dark moon, you are also a hero who inherits the fire. You know that the mission of spreading fire is more important than the duty of the dark moon."

"Therefore, please accept this."

Yuer Shika, who spoke, suddenly took out a small object from his bosom. It was a rattle with a pure gold handle and a pure white body, like a blooming flower.

Seeing this, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew this rattle, and it was the best catalyst for miracles in the game—Youer Shika Holy Bell.

But at the same time, he also knew how important this holy bell was to Yuer Shika.

No matter how many ears you brush in the game, you can't get this weapon. You can only get this holy bell by killing Yuershika. This also shows the importance of the holy bell to Yuershika.

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't take it, Youer Xika said again: "It is true that this is the last thought my elder brother bestowed on me, but instead of leaving it here to collect ashes, it is better to give it to someone who can use this item."

"Furthermore, you are a hero who transmits fire. I believe my brother knows it and will agree with my approach, so please accept it."

"I see." Xia Yu nodded, and reached out to take the holy bell of Youer Xika.

Although he would not choose to spread the fire, since Youerxika wanted to give it to him, he naturally had no reason to refuse it.

Besides, although Yuer Shika didn't know it, he killed Aldrich and corrupted Sullivan, which is equivalent to revenge for Gwyndolin.

Therefore, there is nothing embarrassing about accepting the Holy Bell of Youer Shika.

Seeing that Xia Yu accepted what he gave, Youer Xika breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew you would not reject me, and may you have the grace of the dark moon to follow you."

After finishing speaking, Youer Shika smiled slightly, turned and left Xia Yu's side.

Xia Yu watched Youer Xika leave, turned his head and looked around, his teachers and friends were all here.

Although these people didn't give him any parting gifts like Yuershika did, the sight they cast had already contained all the words.

Except for one person.

Xia Yu looked at that dog Patch squatting in the corner, as if thinking of something funny, an unstoppable smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Hard, fist hard.

When he first saw Patch, he was still very pleasantly surprised, after all, this is an old friend who has accompanied several games.

But when he really communicated with Patch, he realized that he was too happy.

If it weren't for his strong restraint, he would have hacked Patch to death with the Manyan super sword.

Every time he talks to this dog, he always thinks how this dog has survived for so long without being hacked to death.

With a soft tut, Xia Yu forced himself to ignore Patch. After all, he was about to reach the beginning and end of everything, so don't let this dog spoil his mood.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu withdrew his thoughts, shook his head and knelt down on one knee at the bonfire in the middle of Chuanhuo Sacrifice.

The Fireproof Girl also stepped up to his side and looked at the Salary King Throne above.

　After Ludos was killed and revived, he could hear two sentences, namely "Ah, it's so hot, my bones are burning, it's so painful... Help me, kill me... Don't, don't, this is too painful It's burning...it's hot, save me." and "Look, everyone, I've become a king...even if the fire is weak, I can still continue the world...so forgive me, forgive me...don't keep blaming me gone."

　　Therefore, I think there should be no problem with the story of Ludos in this chapter. The source of the story is this comic. As for the name of the comic, I said it in the previous chapter of Soul [-], so I won’t repeat it.
