"You mean, at that time, your future was already decided?"
Firefly asked.
"Is this the way you see it? Sure enough, I'm not very good at telling stories."
Xu Shenxing shook his head regretfully: "Do you have tea here? I'm a little thirsty."
"Um, if you mean the kind of drink made from plant corpses, I'm sorry." Ying paused, and asked with some hesitation: "Water with a lot of magic essence is okay? I remember when I picked In the world of water, people call this water Tianyizhen Water, it seems to be very precious."
"Is it really okay? Let me tell you first, I don't have money to pay you?"
Xu Shenxing said hesitantly.
"It's okay, I took a lot away from that world." The girl smiled slightly.
"Oh, how much did you take?"
"Looks like five million tons."
"..."
You took away all the Tianyi Zhenshui in that world, right
Xu Shenxing felt as if he could see the appearance of the cultivators crying after losing their treasures in that world.
Ying made a pot of Tianyi Zhenshui for Xu Shenxing, and then served a plate of tea for Jasmine who seemed to be getting impatient.
As for the crystal ball crab that was foaming at the mouth, it was nowhere to be seen, probably taken back by Yingying into her broken leather case.
After doing all this, the girl sat upright again, waiting for Xu Shenxing to speak.
"Actually, it doesn't need to be so formal." Xu Shenxing took a sip of the so-called Tianyi Zhenshui, stuck out his tongue, and felt that it was not as good as Song Yu's tea: "It's getting late, and my story is almost coming to an end gone."
…
When I held the magic sword and saw those prophecies, I probably hesitated for less than a second before pulling it out.
Human beings always have this kind of fluke mentality, and I am not immune: Maybe those predictions are wrong
What's more, at that time, if I didn't use the power of the magic sword, I wouldn't be an opponent of the Fairy King at all, and I might be killed with one blow. There is really no room for choice.
However, the moment I pulled out the magic sword, the world seemed to be distorted in my eyes.
It's hard for me to describe the feeling, it's like smearing the whole world after mixing together rotting flesh, biological internal organs, and turbid red disgusting slime.
After the fear, can I feel that the whole world has deep and thick malice towards me? It is like a stench filling my nasal cavity, like a sticky rotten thing filling my vision, like a pool of stagnant water crawling. auricle.
A feeling of disgust towards the whole world emerged from the bottom of my heart, everything was filthy and filthy, my heart was filled with restlessness, and even my thoughts, which were originally blurred due to heavy injuries, began to change. It became so violent that I couldn't help but want to tear everything I saw and heard.
The first one to suffer was naturally the Fairy King who was closest to me.
Even until now, I don't know how miserable the goblin king's death was. After all, I almost completely lost my mind at that time.
I can only vaguely see a hideous monster screaming and rushing towards me, but at that time, I had already obtained the power from the magic sword, and the monster's movements seemed to me to be sixty-four times slower It's ridiculous.
As the madness settles down, I can see the wriggling shape of every hunk of flesh it throws at me, its slow trajectory in mid-air, even the green slime oozing from his body, everything It's all so clear.
Swinging the sword almost instinctively cut off the opponent's head, but because the opponent is that kind of shapeless flesh monster, I'm not sure if it is still alive after cutting off the head.
So I gouged out every piece of meat on it.
After easily beheading and chopping the "filth" in front of me, I started to move.
Although the madness has stabilized, the "awake madness" state can still be regarded as a certain degree of deliriousness. At that time, I was in a half-dream and half-awake state most of the time, but for this... Maybe it's an obsession, but anyway, this thought still made me move towards the Sirius tree at the fastest speed.
It is worth mentioning that even with the help of riding a dragon, it took me nearly two hours to rush from the Sirius Tree to the Castle of Trees; It only took a very short time.
But the situation did not get better with the passage of time, but got worse.
My body, which was already close to exhaustion, was recovering and getting stronger, but the mental torture brought me to the brink of collapse.
The twisted and terrifying things around me are constantly wearing down my sanity: the sky is a strange dark red, covered with blood-colored holes like eyes, and the soft ground that should have been covered with fragrant grass has become like the internal organs of creatures It was soft and sticky, and the air was filled with a disgusting stench. There was no normal creature in sight, and some were more disgusting than monsters like the butcher.
An unstoppable desire kept biting my heart, making me take out the magic sword and punish the whole world. And the feeling of holding the most powerful force in the world clearly told me that if I really do it, I can definitely do it!
I almost used all my sanity to barely resist the temptation of this manic impulse.
When I ran to the place where the Sirius tree was, there were two distorted monsters who couldn't see their original appearances fighting.
I raised my hand and swung a sword at them.
The larger one was instantly killed by my raising my hand, but the smaller one survived my slash.
I don't know if it was because I hadn't fully grasped the power of the magic sword, or because I had vaguely sensed something at that time, so I didn't really kill the smaller monster.
But even so, the smaller one seems to have suffered considerable damage in the battle just now and has become very weak. I am afraid that even if I leave it alone, it will not survive long.
Just when I wanted to kill the opponent with the idea of letting it end the pain quickly, I found something was wrong—after the opponent saw clearly that it was me, he did not dodge or avoid the long sword I held high. Behind this twisted monster of flesh, a white hair band is tied on the tentacle-like organ.
That's what I personally tied the girl's hair when I was doing Gewei's hair.
So my long sword didn't fall on that monster, but I stabbed my left hand so hard that the whole palm was pierced by the point of the sword. To be honest, it was so painful that I almost burst into tears. .
However, it was this piercing pain that made me sober up a lot, and I was freed from that illusion all at once, and the dark red covering the entire field of vision quickly faded like a tide: Sure enough, in my The one in front of him was not a monster of flesh, but Ge Wei.
At this time, the girl's right arm was broken at the elbow, and the wound seemed to have been scalded by the high temperature, showing a scorched state. I don't know if this was done by herself to stop the bleeding, or if it was simply an injury suffered during the battle.
Her elven dress had also been stained red by her own blood. Apart from her right arm, she also had a few small wounds on her body, and her rosy face was now extremely pale due to excessive blood loss.
And her legs have withered from the toes, and the withering continues to spread upwards. I can feel the girl's life is burning like firewood, and then turned into magic power-this is probably the price she delays the butcher.
Even if I don't know medical skills, I can still understand that the girl seems to be on the verge of death.
I threw away the magic sword and threw her into my arms, trying to use my poor knowledge of first aid on Earth to rescue her.
But unfortunately, I found that I couldn't do it at all.
"Ah, I knew you would come back before the end." She gently stroked my face with her remaining left hand.
I feel her life is passing.
Bit by bit, irreparably.
"Stop talking, I'll take you back to the mercenary regiment's station to find a priest for treatment."
I say.
The girl shook her head.
"Actually, I am very timid. The more battles I have experienced, the more I am afraid of fighting, because every time I see life passing by, I will feel that life is so fragile. So when there are more and more important things in my heart , the more I am afraid of death, afraid of losing those important things."
She took a breath, her weak state prevented her from finishing too many words in one breath.
"However, when something is far more important than those things before, I suddenly find that even if it's just to protect that thing, I will be full of courage to fight."
"Xu, you are my courage."
"Stop talking, don't worry, nothing will happen." I felt my voice was a little choked.
No matter how powerful the magic sword is, it cannot save the girl in my arms.
"Well, I believe in you." Her voice became softer and weaker: "If it were you, you would definitely be able to save the world. Saving is irreplaceable and the most important thing for everyone. Because—"
There is no follow-up.
The girl stopped breathing in my arms.
Those beautiful emerald-colored eyes became cloudy, the cheerful and lively but somewhat charming smile no longer appeared on the delicate face, and the yellow-green gradient long hair also lost its former luster... I even I have never done it once to help her tie her braid properly.
From that moment on, I carried the "first promise": No matter what, I will try my best to save the world.
…
"Do you love her?"
Yingying quietly watched Xu Shenxing's expression.
However, Lao Xu maintained a poker face and drank the treasures of heaven and earth that she did not know where to get, without any sadness or joy.
And Jasmine quietly hid the tea in her storage space, as if planning to eat it later...
"If you asked me at that time, I probably thought I loved her. But if it were me now, I can tell you very clearly that I just like her, but I don't love her." Xu Shenxing put down his teacup , and then slowly said: "Because only after experiencing it, can I truly understand that love is not such a cheap word."
"yes?"
Firefly tilted her head. She was born as a cancer of the world, and she doesn't quite understand the word "love", but what is interesting is that in many worlds that are completely different from the earth, intelligent creatures seem to have similar feelings, even those that do not need to reproduce (For example, the hermaphrodite Lux family) was the same, so I asked curiously.
"Yes." Xu Shenxing replied decisively: "There are not many stories left, so I will keep it short and tell it together."
…
After burying Gewei under the Sirius tree, I took the magic sword to the battlefield.
I don't know if it was because Gewei's death stimulated me too much at that time, but the magic sword's power to confuse my mind has never affected me again.
At that time, I stubbornly thought that my heart was dead, so the magic sword could not affect the relationship between dead things.
But if I think about it now, it is probably because my power of the brave had already awakened at that time, and it had already surpassed the power of the magic sword, so its influence was completely wiped out.
When I rushed to the battlefield, the Battle of Dawn had already reached a fever pitch.
The battlefield inevitably expanded.
Because Her Royal Highness turned the feint attack into a real war, the human kingdom also had to put in more power to prevent the army from being defeated, and the demon king's army rushed in, directly destroying the last piece of human territory. devoured.
At that time, human beings will really die out.
I don't know the situation in the early stage of the Battle of Dawn, but I think there must be many heroes who stood up under the leadership of the princess and fought for the future of mankind.
This is the first time that the Demon King's army has been unable to attack the human rebel army for a long time, so they think that this situation is due to the relationship between the princess who led the rebel army.
So they adopted a method similar to encircling a spot to fight for aid, setting up an encirclement circle, and then attacking it must be rescued, allowing the princess to sneak in with the main force of the rebel army.
Even if it is encircled, it would take a lot of troops for the Demon King's army to destroy so much of the human force through battle. Therefore, they chose a simpler and rougher method: a powerful magic circle was arranged near the encirclement. .
That kind of magic circle itself is a one-time item, but the power it erupts is close to the forbidden curse. Even the senior officers of the Demon King Army in Olavia have to shy away from this level of power, let alone human beings.
Therefore, even if the princess who found something wrong wanted to escape the attack with her subordinates, it would still be useless as long as she couldn't break through the encirclement of the Demon King's army in a short time.
... Of course, I only learned about this from the staff officers after the war.
All in all, I rushed to the encircled battlefield when the main force of the human rebel army was about to be wiped out by the magic curse. It caused great damage to the Demon King's army.
Although I am a little bit boastful when I say this, but I, who blocked that blow, probably belong to the majestic feeling of a divine soldier descending from heaven in the eyes of the human rebels, and my morale was immediately boosted to the point of bursting.
Her Royal Highness, who saw the opportunity, immediately led the army to break through again, and successfully escaped from the enemy's encirclement.
After that, after explaining the incident to Her Royal Highness, I joined the human resistance army, and as a vanguard, I caused considerable damage to the Demon King's army in several battles.
In addition, I don’t know if it’s the identity of the brave that Her Royal Highness deliberately advertised, which made me echo among the human survivors. Gradually, some special guys began to surround me, and finally formed a peculiar team. These are things for the future, so let's not press the table for the time being.
In that way, with the Battle of Dawn as a turning point, mankind began to gradually regain lost ground. And the demon king's army, which was originally considered invincible, was defeated again and again, and the myth of invincibility was self-defeating.
As a result, those other races who lost their homes gradually united under the banner of human beings to fight against the army of the Demon King—human beings are still natives of Olavia, and even if they had some unpleasantness with other alien races in the past, it was Ola Via's own matter, that kind of matter is nothing compared to the invasion of the Demon King's army, just like two brothers fighting for a house, they must first call to death the outsiders who want to rob the house...
As for my magic sword, after I hacked thousands of monsters from the Demon King Army to death with it, people selectively forgot its original name and began to call it the holy sword instead.
Shining Holy Sword - Harakti.
At the same time, it is also the first holy sword I own.
Since then, I have vaguely understood.
The nature of prophesying such a thing...
After that, when I went farther and farther on the road of the future, I received many prophecies in various forms more than once, and many of them predicted that I would destroy the world... Well, I admit that I once Had a similar experience. But more than 90% of them will not be fulfilled, because I will not sit and wait for the predicted future to come, but directly use my actions to surpass the so-called prophecy.
…
"That's pretty much what I'm trying to say."
After drinking the water in one gulp, Xu Shenxing put the cup back on the table: "If there are no other questions, I'll leave first. Jasmine, let's leave."
On the other side, Lux who has been on standby for four chapters is almost getting tired of waiting... Maybe he will have mitosis after waiting for a while.
"Mr. Xu, can you also surpass the prophecy this time?... This is a completely different level of situation?"
Firefly asked, still a little worried.
"Is it true that I didn't understand enough?"
Xu Shenxing who came to the exit stopped, causing Jasmine, who was following behind him, to bump her head on his waist.
Then Xu Shenxing turned around, grinned and said, "It's not whether I can surpass the prophecy, but that I will definitely save all the worlds. This is how I, Xu Shenxing, live."
