Sa Xiu still came every day to deliver dark energy to Xie He to maintain his vitality, but Xie He's waking time was still getting less and less, and finally one day he didn't wake up again.
He hugged Xie He, his eyes showing helpless sadness.
He may have the most powerful power in this world, but his power can only bring destruction and destruction...
Compared with his destructive power, the Holy See is better at curing diseases and saving people, and only the God of Light can remove the divine power of light in Xie He's body.
Saxiu kissed Xie He's eyelashes reluctantly, my favorite beautiful elf, I don't want to hand you over to anyone... But if I keep you, I can only watch you die slowly, I can bear all the jealousy and anger pain.
Saxiu hugged Xie He and walked out slowly with heavy steps.

… … … … … … …
In the quiet Pope's Palace, Joshua was lying on the bed, his injury had not fully healed.
Even with the right time, place and people, he still lost to Sashu in that battle, and he still underestimated the evil god who had lived for tens of thousands of years.
Jialan Lord was also snatched away, and his life or death in Sashu's hands is uncertain... Joshua opened his eyes again.
He has been unable to sleep peacefully for a long time, and Jalan Lode risked his life to plot against Sashu. With Sashu's heart, he might not let him go, maybe he is already dead. As soon as he thought of this, Joshua felt shaken about what he had done for the first time in his heart, and... for the first time felt regretful.
From then on, he might never meet another perfect and bright being who touched his heart like Jialan.
Even if he becomes the God of Light, he cannot have real light.
What a pity.
At this moment, Joshua suddenly felt uneasy. He put on his coat and walked out. He quickly felt that the barrier of the Holy See was touched, and the familiar dark aura made his expression change slightly.
Joshua pondered for a moment, then slowly walked out along the corridor, and saw a man in a black robe at the main entrance of the palace.
It's Sashu... And in his arms, he is holding a sleeping beautiful elf.
Joshua's eyes swept across Saxiu, and soon fell on Xie He. He seemed to be sleeping peacefully, but Joshua only looked at it for a moment, and his face changed. He could feel the elf's weakness... His life is passing irreversibly.
He instantly understood Sashu's intention of coming here.
"Save him, the faith in this world belongs to you." Sashu looked at Joshua, and said word by word: "Otherwise, I will kill all the people who believe in you, so that you will never be able to step out of here again."
Joshua's eyes were fixed, and he couldn't believe it. The thing he wanted to obtain by any means, the enemy he wanted to get rid of with all his heart... He actually took the initiative to retreat like this.
Saxiu said: "You don't have to worry that I will lie to you. This time I can swear by my godhead, as long as you can save him, I will give up the fight for faith."
Joshua slowly came back to his senses, he stared at Saxiu, and finally convinced that he said these words very seriously.
For a god, belief is the foundation of existence and the source of their strength... That's why they fight so unscrupulously. Once Saxiu voluntarily gives up his belief, it is tantamount to a kind of slow suicide, and he will change little by little. The weakness of the gods may eventually perish like the gods at the beginning.
But for this elf, he was willing to give up.
He loves him more than his own life.
Joshua felt that he should be happy, because of an elf, his most troublesome enemy, the dark god who was so powerful that he was almost invincible, bowed his head and surrendered, and the victory was within easy reach... All his wishes came true, but at this moment, his There is no joy of victory, only a touch of jealousy, and the anger of being given alms.
This elf was born to be the darling of the God of Light, and should have been pampered by him, but now it is possessed by darkness.
It was as if the treasure that belonged to him was stolen by a despicable thief, but now the thief pretended to be the owner and came to show off his ownership in front of the original owner of the treasure.
At this moment, Joshua didn't want to regard Xie He as just a trade item, he said coldly: "Even if you don't tell me, I will save him."
Saxiu saw Joshua's attachment to Xie He, and he was also attracted by this beautiful elf... If it was not a last resort, how could he be willing to hand Xie He over to another man who had plans for him
It's just that I can't save you.
Saxiu hugged Xie He tightly, his downcast eyes fell on his face, and finally slowly put him on the ground, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
When you are well, I will come and take you away.
Until then, I can bear it.
Joshua watched Saxiu's figure disappear coldly, then walked over and gently hugged Xie He.
He lowered his head and stared deeply at the elf in his arms, with a gentle look in his eyes, don't worry... I won't let you leave this time, because I know that I care about you so much, so I won't do anything that I regret thing.
You are my favorite treasure.
Your beauty should only be cherished carefully.

… … … … … … …
Xie He felt as if he had had a very long dream, he was in a daze, his body was cold for a while, and hot for a while, the power of darkness and light was tearing in his body, the pain made him wake up faintly, and he faced a pair of faint blue eyes.
Xie He was stunned for a while, as if he didn't understand why he returned to the Holy See. He didn't think Saxiu would let him go.
Joshua looked at him tenderly, and said, "It will hurt a little, bear with it."
Only then did Xie He realize that he was being held in Joshua's arms. When he was feeling confused, he saw those dark blue eyes approaching. Joshua lowered his head and kissed him. His slightly cool lips touched Xie He's. Lips, the next moment... Xie He felt as if there was a kind of suction, which made the power of light in his body ready to move, and the power of light that was constantly burning and eroding his body was forcibly stripped away, and they struggled and clamored unwillingly. Destroy him... but have to leave little by little.
Xie He trembled in pain, and Joshua felt it. He held Xie He's body tightly, held his head in one hand, and kissed him harder, not letting him get out of his control because of the painful struggle.
This process didn't last long, but when Joshua let go, Xie He was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale, as if a layer of skin had been lifted alive.
Joshua's eyes were pity. He knew that this process was uncomfortable, but there was no other way. The previous God of Light lived longer and was stronger than him, and the power of light contained in the sacred artifact he left behind was more solid Pure, and not entirely under his control. He can only suck it out a little bit, but considering Xie He's ability to withstand it, he can only do it slowly in fractions, otherwise his fragile body will disintegrate instantly.
"It's okay, it won't hurt soon." Joshua stroked Xie He's back and comforted him softly.
Xie He's head rested weakly on Joshua's chest, his blond hair stuck to his forehead due to sweat, and his lips were slightly parted. After a while, his eyes gradually regained focus, and he said slowly: "I...why am I here... "
Joshua said, "Sashu asked me to save you, he sent you here."
Xie He closed his eyes in pain, he still does not allow him to die, and living is just a kind of torment for him, his voice is hoarse, "My people... you promised that no matter whether you succeed or fail, you will do your best whoever can save them..."
Joshua pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, they are all fine now, Sashu won't touch them."
Xie He's eyes darkened, of course he knew that Saxiu would not touch them, because he still wanted to threaten him with them.
Joshua looked at him tenderly: "Don't think too much, as long as you are well, I will find a way to save them, huh?"
Xie He fixedly looked at Joshua, then closed his eyes dejectedly.
In order to allow Xie He's body to withstand the stripping of the power of light, Joshua activated the great resurrection technique that the temple gave him.
The resurrection technique of the Holy See of Light is the most powerful healing magic. It can bring any creature back to life. It is effective for humans or other races, as well as the light and dark camps. It can almost bring back human flesh and bones, but the resurrection technique is not something ordinary people can use Yes, only bishops and above can use it, and every time you use it, you will pay a considerable price.
The Great Resurrection Spell is the supreme spell that only the God of Light can use according to legend. It can make death recede and the earth rejuvenate.
In fact, it may not be that exaggerated, but its powerful effect is beyond doubt. If Joshua hadn't become the new God of Light, he wouldn't be able to use it, but even so, using the Great Resurrection would take a toll on him.
But Joshua didn't hesitate at all. He always got what he wanted, and used any means to achieve his goal.
Xie He's life is countless times more important than the loss of using the big resurrection technique, and he will not be stingy about it.
It's just that Xie He's physical condition is worse than Joshua imagined. The great resurrection technique that can almost bring the dead back to life has not completely healed his body. The elf's decaying body is like a funnel, and most of the effects have been lost. For this Joshua has to be used constantly.
Xie He lived in the Holy See, every few days Joshua would suck the power of light remaining in his body, and use the Great Resurrection Technique to heal his damaged body.
The continuous use of the Great Resurrection has already hurt Joshua's origin, making his foundation unstable and his injuries aggravated.
But Xie He's body finally got better day by day.
Xie He didn't know how much Joshua had paid for him. He neither resisted nor fled. He lived quietly in the Holy See, and occasionally went out of the palace to participate in the rescue of refugees, or to help others.
The elves are kind and love nature and peace. Although what Joshua did was not fair, the saved people living in peace here are real.
The kindness and bright side in those people's eyes made Xie He feel nostalgic and kind.
Whether darkness comes or not, light will never be destroyed, and human beings are not all ugly. It's a pity that they should have had a better life, but they were destroyed by two selfish gods.
Xie He returned to the Pope's palace at night, Joshua was waiting for him in his room, Joshua reached out and pulled Xie He over, bowed his head and kissed his lips.
Although Xie He was still unable to get used to this kind of behavior, he knew that Joshua was just healing his wounds, so he didn't resist. He held on to his sleeves tightly, waiting for the pain to come, but this time... as expected... There was no such pain, only a soft and cool lingering kiss.
Xie He looked at Joshua suspiciously, and before he could react, he was pushed down on the bed.
Joshua kissed him tenderly and said, "You're done."
Xie He stared blankly, since he was healed, why did he still kiss him? He felt Joshua's hand penetrate into his clothes, caressing his body affectionately, and suddenly realized Joshua's attempt... Xie He suddenly stretched out his hand to push Joshua away, and looked at him warily, with emerald eyes Only alienation and indifference.
Joshua was pushed away by Xie He, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. He was afraid of hurting Xie He, and he has been patient until now, but Xie He obviously didn't want him.
"Saxiu has given you to me. You can choose to return to the light. I will love and protect you in the future... Do you like the peace and tranquility here?" Joshua said slowly, "You can stay forever."
Xie He said without the slightest hesitation: "Saxiu will not give me to you, he will come back to pick me up."
Joshua's eyes froze, Xie He didn't think that Saxiu would abandon him at all, his trust in Saxiu was already an instinct, it was not just compulsion that could be explained... Joshua looked deeply into Xie He's eyes , suddenly said: "You fell in love with him, didn't you?"
Xie He turned pale, he wouldn't love him, he just...
There is no doubt about Sashu's love and dedication to him.
Xie He said: "I don't love him."
Joshua stroked Xie He's neck and said softly: "If he really won't abandon you, why did he give you to me? I won't return you to him, you should understand this."
Xie He looked at him and said, "He just wants you to save me."
Joshua looked into Xie He's eyes, those beautiful emerald eyes were clear and clear, he believed in Sashu like that, just like he once devoutly believed in the God of Light he believed in.
In fact, his god abandoned him, and Sashu didn't.
Joshua suddenly regretted it. He regretted his act of releasing the Dark God. If he hadn't released the demon, he was still struggling under the seal. How could he have the opportunity to snatch his elf
But he didn't realize his own intentions early on. He was so obsessed with power. As the spokesperson of the light, he scoffed at the light in his heart, and regarded the light as a commodity that could be sold, and didn't cherish this beautiful side.
Now that he has become the new God of Light, he finally understands the mood of the gods when they created the elves, because when they finally got everything, they missed the things they abandoned and indulged in the absolute beauty, so they created this kind of beautiful creatures , to entrust all my love.
Only love can make his heart no longer empty, and he can find a new sustenance in his long life, instead of becoming crazy because of loneliness.
He's like the missing piece of his heart, and he's only complete if he owns it.
If he could understand this early on, he would definitely not be willing to hurt and betray him.
[Ding, Joshua's favorability degree is 4, and the current favorability degree is 98]
Joshua looked at Xie He, bowed his head and kissed him again.
Xie He wanted to struggle, but when he looked into Joshua's eyes, he suddenly found that he had lost control of his body, unable to move, and could only let Joshua kiss him, which made him feel disgusted and angry.
Joshua looked at the anger in Xie He's emerald eyes, and sighed faintly, he couldn't bear to force him after all.
With a soft sigh, Xie He went out.
Joshua had walked a long way before he covered his mouth and coughed. He lowered his head and stared at the blood coughed up from his palm, his eyes finally showed pain. Jealousy filled his chest.
He could have become a god of light that Xie He was willing to believe in, and he could have gained the wholehearted belief and love of the elves, but he was destroyed by himself.
Because of his vile, selfish, dark heart.
While gaining strength, he also lost the qualification to obtain love.
He thought he didn't care about it, but he didn't, the pain that was eating into him like a slow poison kept him awake at night.
Xie He saw Joshua walking away before slowly sitting up from the bed.
[Xie He: I really love and hate our Holy Son.]
[444: (⊙v⊙) Huh?]
[Xie He: He didn't cultivate the bad habit of peeping, so that I can enjoy the food to my heart's content, but he is a bit too hypocritical. He obviously wants it in his heart but pretends to be instinctive, so we won't have sex. Yes, hehe.]
[444:...]
[444: Well, host, what would you like to eat today?]
[Xie He: Here is a grilled steak, I suddenly miss modern food:)]
[444: Well o(n_n)o~]
…………………………
Xie He began to avoid Joshua because there was no need to continue to treat the wound.
The war outside still hasn't stopped. A steady stream of refugees are pouring in here, and the scope of the Holy See's accommodation is constantly expanding. Because of the lack of manpower to help, there are always many people who take the initiative to do volunteer work.
Xie He wore a hood and shuttled through the crowd. Because the scene was chaotic and no one took care of him, he randomly arranged a job for him.
He was still there to help that day. A child he helped a few days ago came to him. At that time, the child was almost trampled because of the crowd. His family worked hard to find him, thanked him sincerely, and invited him to have dinner at home.
Xie He refused, because his identity is inconvenient to have too deep contact with human beings, but this still warms his heart.
This is... the human beings he wants to protect, and they are also the friends of the elves.
It was not until it was getting late that Xie He returned to the palace. Joshua was waiting for him at the gate of the palace, making him unable to escape. He looked at Xie He and said, "You like this place very much, don't you?"
Xie He looked at Joshua, he knew that he might not be able to convince this person, but finally couldn't help but said: "You only saw the belief you want to obtain, so have you seen the pain of those displaced people? They didn't have to be refugees, they could have lived in their own warm home, but you deprived them of their peaceful and stable life, made them lose their homes, and then gave them a little bit of poor charity, deceived and fooled them, and enjoyed their gratitude and belief with peace of mind... "
"What I like is not here, what I like is those who can still maintain a kind and bright heart even after suffering and setbacks, and this place only makes me suffer, and reminds me of what you have done all the time, and think of this so-called beauty the ugly side beneath."
Xie He looked at Joshua coldly, "If this is what God expects, I would rather—there is no God in this world."
"Everyone has the right to choose, and should not be a doll in your hands, and should not be sacrificed for your selfishness... Light never needs darkness to set off! Your theory is just an excuse for your despicable behavior , what you care about is never the light, but your own strength."
Xie He said: "Even if there is no Saxiu, I will not love you, and I will not stay."
Joshua's face paled slightly. He has always been eloquent, but looking into Xie He's eyes at this moment, he suddenly couldn't refute.
Because that's what it is.
And Xie He's words finally made him no longer have the slightest luck.
Even if he traps this elf, he will never get his heart, and it has nothing to do with anyone, only his selfishness and cold blood.
Joshua's voice was low and astringent, and he stared at Xie He: "If I am the God of Light you imagined, if that is the case, will you love me?"
Xie He's eyes showed a longing look: "If that's the case, I will love you."
Joshua's eyes were in a trance for a while, and his lips moved: "Stay here, I can become the kind of god you want... okay?"
Xie He's expression changed slightly, but in the end he shook his head firmly: "You are not."
No matter how pretending it is, it is not.
Joshua's hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists. He suddenly wanted to be desperate, imprison this elf, force him, and possess him, just like the God of Darkness... He doesn't care about all the plundering, but as soon as he thinks about it, It will make Xie He hate him even more, and he will not be able to do such a behavior.
Because he loves him, I can't bear to see him suffer.
And for the mistakes he made, he can only bear the consequences.
The sun became silent little by little, and suddenly the place became pitch black, only the space where the two of them were was seemed to be cut apart.
Saxiu slowly appeared there, and he walked up to the two of them step by step, and said, "I'll take my elf away."
