The crystal-like transparent strings of the harp played the sound of nature under Alice's nimble fingers. Even the air in the room became a lot lighter. The music was sometimes low and gentle, like a woman's soft mourning; sometimes high, like a swallow riding the wind and breaking the waves. The boy sitting next to her was shaking his head with the music. He didn't understand much, but at least, he was immersed in Alice's harp.
After the song, the boy applauded with all his might. His eyes were shining, and he looked at Alice's little face full of admiration.
"Mom is great. I want to learn to play the harp too." The boy cried.
Alice stood up with a smile. The maid put away the harp. She walked to the boy's side, reached out her hand, and flicked his head lightly, "Naber is a boy, right? He will be a man when he grows up. Men are supposed to protect women. Playing the harp can't protect me. "
The boy thought about it and said with a smile, "Then I'll find Tong Wu to teach me fighting skills."
"That's right. That's my good boy."
The boy ran to the window and asked, "Mom, what's outside the Forgotten Lands?"
Alice looked at the window and said lightly, "There's a vast world. There are mountains, seas, and boundless land. Why? Naber is interested in taking a look. "
The boy nodded at first, then shook his head and said, "I won't go anywhere unless mom goes too."
"What a silly boy. You won't think so when you grow up."
"What will I be like when I grow up?"
"When you grow up, you will find that the original world is not as big as you think, so you can easily put it in your chest."
The boy shook his head and said, "I don't want to. I just want to be with mom forever."
Allen looked at the mother and son. Looking at them now, who would have thought that many years later, they would turn against each other?
Suddenly, the scene in front of him began to blur, and then Alice's voice sounded, "Get out of my memory! Don't look at them, don't look! "
A force came from the void and hit Allen. Immediately, Alice and the boy in front of him quickly went away. A moment later, Allen was already standing on a wasteland. There were no mountains, no plants, let alone animals. It was absolutely lonely and cold here, just like Alice's heart that was locked up by hatred.
The sky in the distance rumbled, and a thick cloud of fire spread over. A woman's face could be vaguely seen in the clouds. It was Alice. Her will rolled over like thick clouds. Allen took a deep breath. Recalling the battle between the two supreme beings on the Eternal Night Star, he immediately felt a surge of vigor. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a hundred-meter-tall fiery giant. Looking at the rolling fire clouds, Allen shouted, "Stop it, Alice. As I said, Spenak is not on Agares, and your vengeance is futile. "
"Shut up!" Alice's face in the cloud of fire sprayed out three or four streams of dark red fire toward Allen.
Allen casually waved his hand, and the streams of fire exploded and spread several kilometers away from him. Allen stretched out his hand and clenched it. Flames appeared out of thin air and surged, forming a giant flame blade in his hand. The appearance of the flame blade was 70% similar to the Destruction Hymn. Allen held the blade with both hands and slashed it from afar.
A wisp of fire lit up between heaven and earth.
The flames traversed the sky, their might blazing, as if they were going to split the sky into two. The flames instantly flew far away and entered the fire clouds. Following that, Alice's scream rang out from the clouds. The fire clouds rumbled and were separated by the majestic flames.
After traveling for an unknown number of kilometers, the fire clouds slowly closed. Although Alice's will did not collapse under this attack, it was still much weaker. After the fire clouds closed, all kinds of flying insects continuously pounced out from the clouds, as if they had summoned the insects from the material world. The vast army formed by the insects pressed towards Allen like a raging tide.
Allen also let out a long roar that shook a thousand miles. Then, he strode forward with the flame saber in hand. The ground beneath his feet quickly retreated, and the swarm of insects swept over like a black cloud. Allen raised the flame saber and flicked it upwards. The flame saber sank into the swarm of insects, tearing a blank space in the black cloud wherever it passed. Insects continuously fell down wrapped in flames, and immediately, the wasteland was filled with a rain of fire.
'I've already seen your memories, Alice. Don't tell me you don't know? You love Naber more than anyone else. You love that child. Even if you hate him now, in your heart, you still love him. Even if you hate him now, you still love him in your heart. "Allen said loudly. He turned around and swept the flame saber horizontally. The raging flames washed away the swarm of insects.
Alice's voice came from the cloud of fire, "Shut up. What do you know? Naber threatens the creator, so he must die! "
The fire clouds gradually descended, and something fell from the clouds. It was a meteorite. The meteorite was wrapped in flames as it smashed towards Allen. The giant Allen had transformed into spat out flames from his eyes. He raised his flame saber and a burst of spirit surged out. With a swing of his saber, a passageway appeared in the entire swarm of insects. On the other side of the passageway was the meteorite that was rumbling towards them. The meteorite that was halfway through its journey seemed to have suffered an invisible impact. It suddenly stopped violently, and then a crack appeared. Cracks appeared one after another. After flying for another dozen kilometers, it suddenly exploded in the air, spitting out tens of thousands of streams of fire that shot down. It passed through the swarm of insects and passed by Allen, smashing out large craters on the lonely wasteland.
"Don't you know? You're destroying yourself! " The giant roared, "Your love for Naber and your hatred for Spenak have made you lose your normal judgment. You love him, but you have to destroy him. These two emotions make you conflicted, making it impossible for you to make the right judgment. So you'd rather go crazy. You don't want to kill Spenak at all. You want to die at his hands, at the hands of the child you love. "
"I didn't!"
"Is that so? Then why don't you believe me? Can't you tell if what I said is true or false? No, that's not it. You just don't want to believe it. Because you know that if Spenak is not on this planet, you will lose your courage and choose to sleep. "
"No, I didn't think so."
"Alice!" Allen roared, "Are you still going to escape at this time? Run away from your true feelings. Take a good look. Is this what the Creator wants? "
"Creator?"
"That's right. Since he created you and gave you such a long life, could it be that he wanted to see you destroy yourself?"
The fire clouds surged violently, just like Alice's complicated feelings. She screamed, "What right do you have to say that? You're not the creator!"
'That's right, I'm not. But you said it yourself. The creator and I are both twilight species. Can't I understand his feelings? I bet he must have given you a more important mission. Can't you remember it? '
"In your heart, is the creator's mission more important or killing Naber?"
"Alice."
"Yes, my lord."
In a trance, Alice saw a brilliant golden light. In that light, there was a man with his back to her. He couldn't be said to be a tall figure, but he had an urge to worship him. It was as if he was standing there, trampling the entire world beneath his feet.
Lord Creator …
"I have to go. Some annoying guys have tracked me down. If I stay here any longer, these arrangements won't work. " The man turned around in a golden light, his silver-gray hair dancing in the wind, and his eyes were so gentle. He reached out and held Alice's face. "Alice, can you help me watch this place?"
"I will, my lord. No matter how long it takes, even if it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years, Alice will help you watch the Black Gate. Until Lord returns! "
"Well." The man scratched his face with his hand and apologized. "I'm afraid I can't come back, Alice. But believe me, at a suitable time, my descendants will come to this planet and activate these arrangements. At that time, Alice, you can help him like you help me. But before that, I'm afraid Alice will be very lonely. "
Alice lowered her head. "But didn't Lord say that as long as the 'heart' can still beat, no matter where you are, you will find the way back?"
"I said that if it's just to comfort you, I can also make a promise to return. But Alice, I don't want to give you false hope, do you know? That will only make you more painful. "
"What pain …" Alice shook her head and looked up. "As long as it's what Lord wants, Alice will stick to it. Until the end of my life, I will wait for Lord's descendants to appear. "
"Then I'll leave this place to you." The man faced the brilliant light. "Do you see, Alice? Today is the day when the two suns meet. What a brilliant radiance it is. I hope that this radiance will eventually illuminate the entire universe and bring a glimmer of hope to the already desperate creatures. And you are the one who guards this hope for me. "
"Here, forgive me for selfishly and capriciously entrusting the responsibility to you." The man turned his head and bowed to Alice. "I'll leave it to you, my … 'daughter'."
Alice nodded vigorously.
Who knew how many years had passed.
Day after day, year after year, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, there was only loneliness left after seeing it for too long.
Then, just like Lord created me, create some Alice's children, right?
Then, there were finally other voices beside him.
However, the most satisfied one was still him.
Naber.
My favorite child.
…
No, it's not.
"No!"
In the chest of the Virtuous Queen, Alice screamed, "I hate him. This child actually wants to hit on Lord. Unforgivable, unforgivable. "
Mother, I only hope to be with Mother forever. The boy's face was full of sunny smiles.
No.
I want to protect Mother.
No.
Mother, who is he?
Don't say anymore!
