our family is gone

Chapter 747 Hell in the Heart (End)

The ancestor's mechanism in the game is very special, and it will go through three stages in total.

The human form that excels in controlling flesh and blood uses replicas to fight, and the original body has no attack capability.

After being defeated, it enters the Heart of Nurturing form, with only passive counterattack capabilities.

Finally, there comes the Heart of Darkness, which was forcibly hatched from the injured Heart of Nurturing.

It can be simply summarized as: human form - heart of fertility - heart of darkness.

Among these forms, if we really count them, the first two are not the ancestor's real body, only the last one is the real body that was forced to appear.

It is also a general manifestation of the ancestor's ascension to the godhood being stuck, symbolizing the culmination of his ambitions, and represents the embodiment of the mysterious force responsible for the corruption of Hamlet and his surroundings - the Heart of Darkness.

In the game, Heart of Darkness is the final form of the Ancestor, and it has a terrifying skill called "Come to Your Creator".

At a certain blood line, it will activate its ability to kill a hero immediately. This is a plot kill that cannot be avoided.

And as a player you have to choose which hero to die in that situation, which means that players have to be strategic about who should stay and who should die. Unless you can kill the ancestor in one move...

To a certain extent, the existence of this mechanism is to reflect a concept that runs throughout the game, that is, choice and sacrifice.

However, this mechanism will not work once it is put into reality, because the ancestor will not follow his choice at all when releasing this move.

The ancestor has his own ideas, and he will infuse all his power into the most threatening enemy.

The first move fell on the Lame Man who was entangled with the ancestor head-on. If it hadn't used the [Absolute Nothingness] it had picked up to stretch out its tentacles and fight against the space itself, it would have been dragged into the abyss and disappeared in an instant.

And the second move fell on the unlucky Lance...

Lance was also frightened just now. He was originally prepared to give the Lame Walker a hard time and let it go out to continue to take the damage.

He didn't expect that the old ancestor would target him directly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and summoned out black armor to protect his body before being swallowed by the tentacles. However, he had no room to struggle in front of the terrifying force and was sucked in.

Fortunately, the black armor protected him from being crushed by the tentacles, but not a single bone in his body was intact. The intense pain impacted his sanity. The only thing he could be thankful for was that even though he was dragged into the abyss, he did not lose consciousness.

But even Lance didn't want to recall the dangers of the abyss. In addition, his armor was severely damaged at that time, making it difficult for him to exert his strength to escape through the void. What was more troublesome was that Lance had lost his position in that space.

Fortunately, don't forget that the warhammer [Void Annihilation] is a beacon for summoning the Limp Walker. While Lance was holding up the black armor to fight against the abyss, he tried to use it to find the location of the Limp Walker.

At this time, the Limp Man responded to his call and dragged him out of the abyss.

It was he who was almost exiled to the abyss, so Lance attacked desperately just to kill the ancestor.

Now that the heart has been cut off, the ancestor's consciousness has also collapsed under the hammer's blows, and finally...

There was only one reason why Lance stopped attacking, that was the sacrifice was passed and it was time to end it all.

The old ancestor suddenly reacted when he was swallowed by the void. The state he had been struggling to maintain quickly collapsed, and the flesh and blood on his body proliferated wildly without control.

At this moment, it seemed as if I could see countless limbs and organs, and countless faces emerging from the bodies, as if wailing, struggling, and sinking in endless pain. They were the millions of people devoured by the ancestor...

"It seems that I still win."

Lance stood right in front of it, watching the sacrifice being passed, the ancestor being dragged into the void bit by bit, as calm as what he was eating for lunch.

The old ancestor soon realized the futility of struggling. The power made it difficult for him to have the intention of resisting. It seemed that he had let go of his obsession with ascending. No one knew whether the old ancestor was reminiscing about the past or was stimulated by Lance's words. The decadent voice echoed.

"victory.

What a mean and ridiculous statement.

We are born from this thing, we are created from it, and in time, we will return to this thing.

The so-called great human family is nothing more than a mass of rebellious flesh and blood.

Reproducing, gathering, growing, and dying.

Until the stars are once again arranged in their eternal array, the sleeping ones will wake up again.

Breaking out of this fragile shell of earth and rock brings us to our destined end.

So, find some comfort that is more or less appropriate to your bloodline and position, and take on the meaningless responsibility of being a caretaker.

Let eternity be disturbed by the monotonous, disgusting rhythmic sound that echoes in the endless dark space and time.

Our family has fallen."

The meaning of the ancestor's words is very clear, which is to reveal the essence of this world and where these lives come from.

Also, the ancient god will eventually wake up and destroy the world.

When the stars are arranged into a specific array, it is like an alarm clock ringing, and destroying the planet is like getting up and throwing off the quilt. This is an inevitable result.

In other words, it was futile for Lance to kill himself, and the so-called great family was even more of a joke.

Mocking Lance, he said that even though he had taken on the responsibility of guarding, he could now enjoy something quickly, because he would be affected by this incident for the rest of his life, and would never be able to rest in peace because of the noise coming from the darkness.

The decline of his family he mentioned was not only a lament for his own experience, but also a statement that no matter how hard humans struggle, they will eventually decline...

I say so much just to explain that everything Lance did was meaningless, and no matter what he did, he could not escape the destined ending.

"I did what I had to do, and that's enough."

Lance had no intention of mocking the ancestor or adding insult to injury to a dead man at this time. No matter what he did, it was meaningless at this time.

As for the nihilistic capitulationist Old Ancestor, there is no way he can influence a pragmatist like Lance who focuses on the present.

Let the ancient god do whatever he wants and wait and see when he wakes up. The rest has nothing to do with him. He should believe in the wisdom of future generations.

This kind of medieval life should have been destroyed long ago for modern people like Lance. What's the point of keeping an ordinary person living in a world that is more painful than hell?

The ancestor didn't say anything after hearing Lance's words. After a moment of silence, he seemed to have given up struggling and was swallowed by the void. Finally, the deepest darkness of Hamlet... disappeared.

Lance thought he would be very excited and thrilled, as he had worked so hard for so long and finally killed the old ancestor.

But when this moment finally came, Lance was very calm and not surprised at all, because the suffering he had endured was worth such an outcome.

During the whole process, Lance did not use any shortcuts. It is all thanks to my hard work and my amazing talent that I have come this far!

He just stood there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

But for Leonard and Disma, killing the evil god is a relief and a redemption.

It was the words of the lord on the old road that supported them to where they are now. Whether you believe it or not is not the question for now, but it was enough for the two confused people to find the direction to move forward and keep fighting for it.

What redeemed them was not killing their ancestor, but the experience in the process. They and Hamlet redeemed each other.

Perhaps we have already found salvation on the old road...

As one of the insiders, Barristan also knew about the Ascended Sect and the evil god. Now he has finally fulfilled his promise to the lord and repaid the blood debt...

Everyone on the field fell into a kind of silence. Only they themselves knew the surging emotions, but to the Limper, the question was, why don’t you react?
An impatient roar woke Lance up. He did not immerse himself in the moment, but went back and raised his hand to heal the Limp Man, completely eliminating the damage from this battle.

"It wouldn't have been so easy to succeed without you this time. Now that the guy who tortured you is dead, the agreement between us is fulfilled."

As he spoke, Lance raised the [Void Annihilation] and handed it over. The meaning was self-evident. The covenant on the panel also disappeared.

That’s right, Lance used its anger at being imprisoned to reach an agreement, and the key was the common enemy, the ancestor.

The relationship between the two sides can be simplified as Lance needs the Limp Wanderer to attract firepower and deal damage, and the Limp Wanderer needs Lance's constant healing to support its revenge.

It can be said that before the ancestor died, they had a very firm community of interests. Otherwise, why would Lance give up the flaw revealed by the ancestor to save the Limp Walker, and why would the Limp Walker take the risk to save Lance.

Now that the ancestor is dead, the conflict between Lance and the Lame Man will become more prominent, because no matter what, one is a human being and the other is a void demon, and the two sides have different positions.

Lance couldn't learn from his ancestors to control or even imprison this powerful limp man, so he had only two choices, either kill it or part ways amicably...

Although Lance has no morals, he generally will not take the initiative to break what he has promised.

To be honest, even it felt the horror of the battle with the Limp Walker. If Lance hadn't saved it several times, it would have been killed by the ancestor long ago.

That is why it must ensure Lance's safety before the ancestor dies, and it dares to send out a tentacle into the abyss to rescue him.

Now it seems to feel the problems equally on both sides.

However, the Limp Walker did not take the uniquely shaped hammer to completely end the agreement between the two parties, but changed the agreement.

It indicates that the next time you want to summon it, you need to give a sacrifice, or it will come and get it in person.

As soon as this was said, the Void Demon's greed for reality was fully revealed. Don't forget that when it faced the vitality escaping from the Heart of Nurturing, it went crazy and didn't listen to any orders at all.

Lance knew very well that if he hadn't been able to subdue this guy, it would definitely not be so easy to talk to now. It might even attack the team once the ancestor died.

In other words, this thing is limited to his use. Allowing others to summon it would be like inviting a wolf into the house. It would be too difficult to kill or expel it at that time.

But Lance really had no way to refuse, because only by holding it in his own hands could he prevent the Lame Walker from sneaking into reality. Otherwise, as long as it threw this thing into any corner of reality, there would definitely be an ambitious person like the ancestor who would find it.

Thinking of this, Lance slowly put away the warhammer, then swung it to create a crack in space, allowing the Limp Walker to return to the void.

"You guys go out first, I'll take care of the rest."

After the Limp Man left, Lance signaled Leonard and the others to leave this space first. The three of them turned around and left without hesitation.

After all the people were cleared out, the black armor turned into a ball of black flame and dissipated, revealing Lance's burnt skin, but it recovered in an instant. This kind of injury was as simple as non-existence to him.

After changing his clothes, Lance did not leave in a hurry, but waited for the gift from the sacrifice to the ancestor.

And at this moment, there was finally movement in the void, but the gift made him feel a little strange.

It was not spirituality, but divinity, and it was not the single digits as before. Looking at the numbers on the panel jumping, they finally stopped at fifty.

Lance thought about the source of his divinity:

Bay Statue +1, Pig God +3, Dungeon Saint +5.

In other words, the ancestor just happened to provide 41 divinities. Is this the result of his planning for half his life, and even sacrificing Hamlet for it?
It's really ridiculous...

But none of this matters. Lance hadn’t understood what divinity was for before. It was just a string of numbers on the panel.

But when his divinity reached double digits, he understood something and activated the blessing very decisively, except that this time it was not his spirituality that was consumed, but his divinity.

With all my insights, my profound wisdom, my lifelong martial arts, and my invincible qualifications, I will strengthen you!
The divinity he had just obtained began to decrease, and the bottleneck that restricted his strength improvement was finally shaken, and an unprecedented feeling sprouted from his body.

That power is beyond the limits of human beings, and Lance will turn to an even more powerful being.

To be honest, Lance didn't go through any intense pain or anything, but he entered another level naturally.

The [Legend] on the panel disappeared, and a [Demigod] appeared instead.

Lance looked at the panel and found that this upgrade had consumed ten divinities, leaving only forty.
what is this concept?

If humans want to become champions, they need to rely on extraordinary powers, that is, to become extraordinary people.

If you want to break through the legend, you have to rely on divinity to enter a completely new path and touch the taboo of mankind - God!

In fact, this concept is very broad, because they are not gods yet. One point of divinity is a demigod, and ten points of divinity is also a demigod. People like the Pig God and the saints of the church can all be called demigods.

The ten points of divinity required to be a demigod is probably a criterion of the panel, and it has always been stricter than those.

As for the higher levels, Lance did not fall into them like the old ancestor did, pouring all his remaining divinity into them. Instead, he stopped there and started researching instead.
