When the rising sun emitted the first ray of sunlight to shine on this endless sea of desert, Esdeath's face that had changed and struggled countless times finally calmed down, and its endless personality The confrontation seemed to have finally come to an end at this moment.
"Come on, Esdeath."
Le Yuan used his free left hand to brush the blue hair on Esdeath's indifferent face. Using the forced contract on Esdeath was already a gamble. The method in Gambling Sisteryan's hands that can turn a servant into a player again cannot cancel the effect of the forced contract.
To some extent, the coercive ability of the forced contract may affect Yu Jieyan. After all, what she wanted was an independent player body, but the servant and the player lived and died together. Le Yuan could only hope that Yu Jieyan could stay calm and not KO him in person.
"Um-"
Esdeath, who had been silent all this time, let out a soft groan. It was this sound as thin as a mosquito's moan that woke Le Yuan out of his thoughts, and then he looked nervously at Esdeath, who seemed to be about to wake up.
Three minutes later, it seemed like a century had passed. Esdeath finally opened her eyes again, but this time her eyes full of queenly arrogance revealed an incredible sense of vicissitudes, as if she had experienced changes in the world and the mortal world after living for thousands of years. The vicissitudes of life that could only be possessed by thousands of people appeared in Esdeath's eyes at this moment.
"Failed? Esdeath was swallowed up by the remnant soul?"
When he saw Esdeath's eyes that had become very strange, Le Yuan immediately thought of Esdeath who might have disappeared. Then, suppressing a trace of sadness in his heart, he withdrew his right hand that had long since lost its burning sensation. Looking at the disappeared mark of the demon spirit, Le Yuan didn't know whether he was right or wrong in choosing to awaken his remnant soul.
Not wanting to look at the face of Remnant Sister Yan holding Esdeath any more, Le Yuan turned around and looked at the rising red sun in the east and said: "Since your matter has been resolved, how can you let me Do you want to stay in this world for a while longer? I still have some work that I haven’t finished yet, so I won’t limit your freedom. Just use it according to your abilities!”
As if he didn't want to stay in this place any longer, Le Yuan wanted to leave directly after speaking. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, his left hand was held by a slightly cold hand, and then the hand exerted force. An inexplicable force that Le Yuan could not resist suddenly pulled Le Yuan back while he was advancing.
As soon as Le Yuan turned around, he felt Esdeath's fire-like attack on his lips. When Le Yuan wanted to pull away from Esdeath, his eyes couldn't help but meet hers. I saw Esdeath's eyes revealing endless affection, as well as the joy of surviving the disaster.
This is Esdeath! Through those eyes, Le Yuan knew that the person he was kissing passionately now was not some remnant soul wearing the appearance of Esdeath, but the real Esdeath who had fought, lived, and hunted with him. Des, inside and out.
Their lips parted, Le Yuan hugged Esdeath deeply into his arms, and feeling the reality of Esdeath being held in his arms, Le Yuan could no longer hold back the excitement in his heart.
"Welcome back, you did it, Esdeath!"
Le Yuan's words did not have any extra sweet words, but they were extremely real. Even Esdeath, a person who is not very sensitive to understanding of emotions, could feel the most sincere care and love. For Esdeath, all sweet words are false. Le Yuan's feelings are what she really wants.
But even though Esdeath is back, the feeling she had just now after seeing all the vicissitudes of life and seeing through the mortal world still lingers in Le Yuan's mind. If he doesn't understand everything that just happened, I'm afraid Le Yuan will never be able to feel at ease.
"Did you really defeat that remnant soul? There were no other sequelae, or was it just temporary suppression?" Le Yuan asked with concern.
Esdeath watched Kurama keep asking about the details of the battle between their two personalities during the awakening ceremony and smiled without saying a word. It was only when Le Yuan was made a little angry that she revealed everything at that time.
But before saying this, Esdeath asked a question first: "Ayuan, what do you think the competition between me and that remnant soul was? And what did I rely on to win the final victory? "
Esdeath's question stunned Le Yuan. This question was exactly what he had been thinking about. I originally thought Esdeath had failed when they first met, but after learning that Esdeath had won the final victory, I didn't know what was going on.
"Power should not be the main thing. No matter how powerful the remnant soul is, it is just a remnant soul. If there is still power, Esdeath's personality will not be born, but she will always control the sovereignty of the body. So is it will? But she shouldn't lose her will to you, or is it the gap in soul?" Le Yuan guessed.
"It is the number of reincarnations. The remnant soul and I have reincarnated in this world 11,15 times. The first 2048 reincarnations were all carried out as the will of the remnant soul Xueyan, until the 2049th reincarnation was carried out by her A personality or soul belonging to me was born in the soul. A brand new personality without any memory part belonging to her. Most of the subsequent reincarnations are decided by me, except for rare occasions whether she will jump out or not. For once, I am the only one who can truly dominate the identity of Esdeath."
Xueyan, this is the name Yu Jieyan has always hidden. Judging from the remnant soul of Xueyan absorbed by Esdeath, the remnant soul of Xueyan, who had just been demoted to become a native of this world, took the body of the strongest woman in the world who is most suitable for her abilities, that is, Esdeath's In this capacity, Xueyan's remnant soul has been the new Esdeath from that time on.
However, despite accepting Esdeath's identity, Xueyan's remnant soul, who was reincarnated for the first time, accepted the life belonging to Esdeath with extraordinary familiarity. He has lived on the northern border since he was a child. Through his rich growth experience, he has developed his own strength. At the age of 12 or 3, he became the strongest person in the clan at that time, except for his father, who was the clan leader.
Everything after that was like a script arranged by fate. When Xueyan's remnant soul went out hunting, the entire family was wiped out. The remnant soul of Xue Yan continued to train herself while hunting foreign ethnic groups in the north to avenge her people, and then gradually climbed to the position of general of the empire.
If the world's script is followed, Xue Yan's remnant soul should have fallen in love with the protagonist Tazmi at first sight after meeting him, and then died holding Tazmi's body together in ice crystals during the final chaos in the imperial capital.
However, Xue Yan's remnant soul obviously does not have such a personality. Her arrogance, self-esteem and knowledge determine that she will never follow the script of this world. Instead of taking Tazmi in, she killed him after finding out he was the victim of the night attack. Everything after that was like the plot going crazy. First, Chitong relied on [Murasame]'s secret skill to burst out and crippled Xue Yan's hands and feet, and then [Susano'o] took her away with a desperate burst. , the first reincarnation ends.
Then came the second time, and this time it was even more extreme. When Xue Yan's remnant soul wanted to finish Tazmi in advance, she found that Tazmi was wearing [Haunted by Evil Ghosts] and was able to triple jump. [Haunted by Evil Ghosts] even evolved twice in a battle. In the tower The two of them died together in the explosion of Zimi's dragon transformation.
The third time, the fourth time... After experimenting hundreds of times, Xueyan's remnant soul finally discovered that she couldn't really live without following the world's script. Then she followed the script in a cowardly manner. This experiment indeed gave her unexpected results. In the final chaotic battle in the imperial capital, she ended Tazmi, the destined protagonist, and Chitong, the heroine, and then ignored them. The mess in the imperial capital was gone, and this was her first real victory.
The thousand reincarnations that followed were all, without exception, the result of Xue Yan's remnant soul breaking out of the situation and not following the routine, experiencing life from all walks of life, but she did not die with the male protagonist Tazmi.
This kind of life until the critical 1025 reincarnations, before the reincarnation, the world seemed to be against it, directly strengthening and sealing the part of Xueyan's remnant soul personality, leaving only the part of the remnant soul to derive a real A personality that fits Esdeath's identity.
However, this plan only has partial meaning for Xueyan's remnant soul. As long as she still exists, she will never fall in love with the natives of this world easily. It was this will that allowed her to input part of her memory into Esdeath's personality again and again, causing the script of the world to fail again and again.
The second change in this world happened to the male protagonist Tazmi. A foreign soul flowed into the body of the protagonist Tazmi. Although it did not invade the protagonist's body, it did transfer part of his consciousness to Tazmi. Rice is fused, and this is the first appearance of the time traveler Tazmi.
However, the appearance of the time traveler Tazmi fulfilled the world's wishes. After all, Esdeath became supernormal after obtaining the memory of Xue Yan's remnant soul. The male protagonist of the original plot was unable to resist without breaking out. What followed was a history of Tazmi's abuse again and again. Some had their heads chopped off with a sword, some died in the execution ground without being saved, and some were trained by Esdeath until they lost their personality...
This is probably the fundamental reason why Tazmi feels unusually scared whenever she sees Esdeath in this life. Even if one's own memory will be purged, the instinctive reaction of the soul caused by continuous training for thousands of lives cannot be concealed.
So probably only Tazmi is the most ignorant. She thinks she is a detached person who has traveled to the world of Zhanmei for the first time, but in fact she is just a poor person who has been instilled with the same memory. Although she has extraordinary power, she has lost her detachment. possibility.
After Esdeath, a personality indirectly created by the world, destroyed the script, the second round of treatment plan was implemented. The memory of Xueyan's remnant soul passed to Esdeath became extremely blurry, as if it was a dream. One section cannot be connected together at all.
This has reduced the influence of Xueyan's remnant soul on Esdeath to the extreme, but perhaps countless reincarnations have engraved the idea of not falling in love with the natives into the soul, bringing together Esdeath and Tazmi. The script has never been successful, and Esdeath has become a veritable Eternal DINK.
