Ivan let go, Yulia fell to the ground and lost her breath.
The last part in her body also returned to Ivan's body and returned to its original owner.
Ivan stood on the spot, holding two eyeballs in his hand. He carefully put the two eyeballs away and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a burst of applause.
Ivan looked around, I don't know when, next to the ruins he was standing on, a large dark river came across, swallowing all the ruins on the way, and then a boat swayed, driving out of the darkness, leaning against him. on the shore.
"marvelous."
The boatman on the boat stood up, applauded Ivan, and laughed:
"I know what you can do, knight. You created this era at the beginning, and now you have destroyed this era. I am really happy. You really are the best."
Ivan looked at him and suddenly said:
"Sure enough, you are the black hand behind the scenes. When I was fighting with other powerful enemies, I used magic to block the entrance and exit, preventing me from escaping. I used a boat to transport me to the vicinity of the existences you want to kill, and guide me to find them. , and tell me such and such things, it is you who want me to take revenge, right?"
"It's me, but it's not me."
The boatman laughed softly.
"I said goodbye on your journey, knight, now your journey is over."
"… what is your purpose?"
Ivan simply didn't talk nonsense with him, and asked straight to the point.
"My purpose?"
The boatman sat on the boat and looked sideways at him.
"My purpose has been achieved, knight."
He opened his hands and said:
"Look around you, this era, this world, is about to be destroyed."
Hearing the words, Ivan looked in all directions, and sure enough, at the end of his eyes, he could already see the border of the capital of Wright, which was impossible when the palace in the sky collapsed.
This city is the capital of the largest human kingdom in the mortal world. Even if it is smashed into ruins, it is impossible to see it at a glance.
But now, in Ivan's line of sight, the boundary of this ruin is becoming clearer and closer.
This place is collapsing.
He quickly came to his senses.
"In an era of the world, when an era comes to an end, everything should be returned to the darkness, and re-created in the darkness, but those four people rely on the power plundered from you, each Maintain a place so they don't dissipate, and now you kill them all, these countries naturally begin to decline normally."
The boatman smiled at him:
"My purpose is to make the eras of this world alternate and reciprocate. You have helped me achieve my goal. After these countries completely disappear, the power of annihilation will come, even if you are asleep. A cemetery is not spared either.”
"who are you?"
Ivan lowered his face and asked.
"Well, I'm just an apostle of reincarnation."
The boatman stood up and said to Ivan on the boat:
"The only true god in this world, the fulfiller of the will of the great holy tree."
"Holy tree?"
Ivan remembered that the room when he woke up, the throne, and the ceiling were indeed covered with some kind of tree roots.
"Yes, all creatures in this world cannot escape the cycle of fate. Only the holy tree can take root in chaos and stand firm in thousands of cycles."
The boatman's face was a little frantic, but he quickly calmed down and began to persuade Ivan.
"However, there are more variables in the current situation, knight, with your words, you may be able to survive this annihilation with the strength in your body, cross the reincarnation of the era, and live in the next era of light."
"What's the point of that?"
Ivan lowered his face and said:
"The people I love and those who love me will die with this annihilation. If you leave me alone in the next era, I might as well die."
"Then there is another option here."
The boatman snapped his fingers, and suddenly a huge sacred tree floated over the dark river.
Below the holy tree, there is a space connected, and in a corner of that space, the throne of human sacrifice that Ivan once sat on is there.
"You sit up, do the human sacrifice that you once did, sacrifice your strength, and you may be able to maintain this era for another era."
The boatman smiled at Ivan and said:
"Destroy the world, then live alone, sacrifice yourself, and maintain the world, how? Which one do you want to choose?"
"Choose none of them."
Ivan looked at the boatman for a while, then suddenly raised his big sword and slashed towards the huge sacred tree.
A half-moon-shaped flame slashed out of the sword and hit the trunk of the holy tree. The thick holy tree could not be knocked down with such a casual blow, but Ivan's blow was also on the trunk. A scar was left, and flames adhered to the bark, burning continuously.
"you!"
Seeing Ivan's actions, the boatman was furious.
"what do you mean?"
The light on the holy tree flashed, and some mysterious power annihilated Ivan's flame, but Ivan raised his sword again.
"What? I want a ship like yours that can sail on Oblivion."
Ivan slashed again at the holy tree.
"In this way, I can take the people I know well to spend the apocalypse together and live to the next era, and this tree happens to be a wonderful material for the hull, isn't it?"
The boatman fell silent, and his entire face was covered in shadows, but Ivan's slash this time was blocked by a barrier.
"I underestimated your stupidity."
After Ivan's attack was blocked, the boatman stood up from the boat and picked up his oars.
A mysterious force of the same origin as the holy tree was transmitted over, the boatman's body swelled and rose steadily, his body swelled, and his breath surpassed the King of Dawn and others all the way, Ivan felt that he was even in the past. Above the Demon King.
His oars were also twisted and deformed by this force, gradually turning into a huge sickle.
The boatman raised his head, revealing an old face with a penetrating smile, and there was some inexplicable brilliance in his eyes.
"You have chosen the most wrong path, knight."
The boatman's consciousness was taken over by a mysterious will, and his words began to vibrate.
"You are a good card, but it is also the most difficult card to control. When I instructed you to kill the Demon King and open up the Era of Light, I laid the lead so that the power of the Demon King could erode your followers. Apostle, let them betray and seal you, now that I think about it, I should have let this apostle kill you when he first met you."
"Sure enough, behind what happened to me, it was you who made trouble."
Ivan raised his head and glanced at the tall tree.
"Have you made up your mind? Dryad, I'm going to make you my new ship!"
