The most terrifying power in the world.
The most invincible God. What is it?
Is it death? Is it power? Is it an invincible power?
— No, the most terrifying power is called "love."
No matter if you are humble or honorable.
No matter if you are weak or strong.
No matter what your identity or background is.
As long as you love me, you will be in front of me.
You will fail miserably.
Theta Sagittarii felt the sweat from his forehead seeping into his eyes, but he didn't dare to close his eyes.
He could only hold his Body Blade tightly.
His gaze was slightly unfocused as he looked at the endless void.
There was a voice in his mind that kept echoing, crazily chanting, "Love me, love me, love me, surrender to me, I am your lover, I am your God."
— You are not.
His vision gradually blurred.
His consciousness gradually faded, but his reason was clearer than ever. In the darkness, there was a cold light coming at him. Theta Sagittarii did not hesitate to swing his blade and cut towards that direction.
"Ah-!" The woman's shrill voice was harsh and torturous.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "How can you not love me?! How can you not love me?! "
Theta Sagittarii did not answer.
He just tightened the handle of the blade and pulled the blade back inch by inch. Every time the blade pulled back a little,
The touch of the sharp blade rubbing against flesh would be clearly transmitted to his hand.
Along with the woman's scream.
"Love? I do have love in my heart. "
His eyes were unfocused and blurred.
In order to resist the voice that kept drilling into his mind, he had exhausted all his self-control.
"But-" He pulled out the blade, faced the darkness, and slashed fiercely and decisively, "But it is not you!"
The sharp wind brought by the blade pierced through the turbulence of the void. The woman's shadow flashed by, and in the shrill scream and the sudden cold light of the blade, she was torn into ashes.
The unwilling whimper lingered in his ears like crying and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Theta Sagittarii did not let down his guard. He just clenched the Body Blade in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though his vision was blurry, he still looked around.
He had been trapped in this space for a very long time.
Theta Sagittarii did not feel good about maintaining a tense mental state for a long time, not to mention that the person he loved was not by his side. He really could not concentrate all his attention to resist the enemy's mental erosion.
He was very worried about Hua Yan because before they were locked in this space, they were together. His situation was already so bad. He didn't know what had happened to Hua Yan.
Theta Sagittarii tried to calm himself down and deal with the enemy calmly, but in fact, he couldn't do it at all. If it weren't for his extraordinary mind, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.
In the darkness … something was constantly gestating and being born. It caused people to feel uneasy and terrified.
His mind was forcefully stuffed with mixed information. Those fragmented memories did not belong to him, but they contained a strong love that could steal one's mind and devour one's soul.
"Love me —"
The soft voice whispered in his ear and the soft laughter echoed in his mind. Theta Sagittarii closed his eyes, but blood slowly flowed out from his eyes.
"Is the person you love better than me? Is she prettier than me? "The voice changed its tone, as if crying and complaining, as if in a dream.
Theta Sagittarii opened his mouth slightly and spoke, but his voice was already hoarse. "She is my Mistress."
At the very beginning, she had come to his side with such an identity, with a careless smile on her face and a cynical mischievous look on her face.
For the sword and saber man, she was their Mistress. They shared life and death, honor and disgrace. She might not be the most unforgettable Mistress in the sword and saber man's long life, but she was the one who lived the most carefree life.
"She … is my …"
"Redemption."
— — She was the one who tore open the birdcage again and again, standing in front of the bird in the cage in high spirits, telling him again and again how vast the sky was outside the cage.
"She is mine …"
— — Lover.
She was where the heart belonged, where the love was.
His heart was moved by her beauty, he was affectionate with her, he was shocked by her mind … and he was in love with her persistence.
She was the goddess who guarded love and beauty. She once said that she would protect his love.
— — So this heart would not change until death.
The voice and the power of magic were pulling his heart off the right track, but unconsciously, it made Theta Sagittarii face his heart directly at this abrupt moment.
In fact, it was not a heart-wrenching love, but when he thought of her, his whole body would feel warm, as if the coldness of the extreme cold and eternal night could not erode him at all.
"The reason why the bird in the cage is sad is because the cage does not belong to him."
His spiritual energy was pushed to the limit, causing a fierce wind to blow in the dark and disorderly space. Theta Sagittarii raised his hand to cover his bleeding eyes. He stood in the air, his clothes fluttering, like a blue bird flapping its wings to fly.
"… You shouldn't have let me feel … this kind of feeling."
He kept reminding himself that before he had a lover, she was still his Lord. So don't ask for more … Don't let the darkness in your heart be exposed.
The bird in the cage fell in love with the cage that imprisoned him, where would the story go?
What was wrong with continuing to be the gentle and understanding bird by her side?
Why did he have a greedy heart like a human when he had a human form?
"My Lord — —"
He muttered in a low voice, like the cry of a Thorn Bird. Tears mixed with blood rolled down his face like colored glass filled with the blood of his heart. It was beautiful, but also mournful.
He pursed his lips into a straight line, as if he wanted to show a smile, but he was powerless, "I really … love you very much."
Darkness crawled onto the cracked lines, making a shattering sound like fragile glass. Her voice broke through the air, and she had lost her usual calmness of holding the pearl of wisdom in her hands.
"Theta Sagittarii — —!"
The shrill cry that almost changed its tone made Theta Sagittarii suddenly come back to his senses.
The blade came in an instant, he broke through the darkness, and suddenly there was light in his blurred vision.
The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air came from behind, and Theta Sagittarii's heart tightened. He put down the blade, reached out in the direction of the sound, and hugged the girl who rushed over into his arms.
Before completely losing consciousness, Theta Sagittarii only heard her crying. He wanted to laugh, wanted to make fun of her, but his consciousness had completely sunk into the deep sea.
— — "I think, I really love you."
She still won, and the caged bird was willing to be trapped in its own cocoon. Even if it was a weak and lovely sparrow, it was still willing to endure.
When Theta Sagittarii woke up again, he did not know how long it had been. His vision was dark, and he felt that his arm was a little heavy. He reached out to touch it, but it was a head of soft black hair.
Hua Yan almost reflexively woke up from a light sleep. She looked at Theta Sagittarii, who had a black satin tie around his eyes, and was slightly confused as he played with a strand of her hair. She suddenly opened her mouth and cried like a child.
"Wah — —! You idiot, why did you block — — Look, you're blind now, see if I despise you — — wah —!!! "
Theta Sagittarii, who was called an "idiot" as soon as he woke up, only felt the veins on his forehead throbbing violently. But when he heard her heart-wrenching cries, he was a little helpless.
Hua Yan did not cry, but once she cried, she could not stop her emotions. Her tears stained Theta Sagittarii's lapel. Only then did she roar angrily.
"Who the hell dares to touch my man?! I'll beat him up until he knows why roses are so red! "
Listening to Hua Yan's cries and curses, Theta Sagittarii felt a subtle softness and warmth in his heart. He did not want to mention to her everything that happened in the endless chaotic void.
He reached out and hugged the crying girl in his arms. For a moment, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.
He did not know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he had stayed in that dark space for a very long time, so long that he could not suppress his longing.
The cause of the matter was like this — —
After Hua Yan and Theta Sagittarii received the letter from Gui Huatong, they traveled thousands of miles to Ghost Flower City, only to find that the city, which was very prosperous not long ago, had now become a dead demon city.
Sensing that the situation was not right, Theta Sagittarii and Hua Yan did not feel that there was a reason to retreat. They knew that there was a tiger in the mountain, but when they stepped into the city, they found that the space in Ghost Flower City had been sealed.
The space in Ghost Flower City was separated from the outside world, and even the time in Ghost Flower City was suspended. This was the reason why Hua Yan received the letter from Gui Huatong after 200 years.
The demon aura in Ghost Flower City was very strong, but what really made Hua Yan and Theta Sagittarii vigilant was the suspended space.
How to put it? To put it simply, Ghost Flower City had been turned into a "Honmaru".
The timeline of the Government of Time's Honmaru was in the hands of the Divine Inquisitor. As long as the Divine Inquisitor was willing, the Honmaru could appear in the four seasons at any time, and the Honmaru could also land in different eras and regions, which was equivalent to a large space-time shuttle. Maintaining the operation of the Honmaru required a lot of spiritual power, and it also required the human and material resources to build the Honmaru's spiritual power barrier. In essence, it could be said that it needed to control the law of "time" and "space".
It was true that the demon aura in Ghost Flower City was very strong, but what was really worrying was the method of making the "Honmaru".
The only one who could control this technology, other than the Government of Time, was the one who had a bad debt with the Government of Time — — the Time Reversal Army.
The Time Reversal Army called themselves "Historical Revisionists". Hua Yan couldn't guarantee what kind of changes they would cause to the future after they arrived in this space-time, but this world was the foundation of Sakura Ogami, so she couldn't just stand by and watch.
But when Hua Yan and Theta Sagittarii entered the Ghost Flower City's City Lord's Mansion, Hua Yan and Theta Sagittarii were separated. Hua Yan saw the Ghost Flower Eyes, but Theta Sagittarii fell into the space-time turbulence.
After Hua Yan dealt with the Ghost Flower of Chaos, she hurriedly cheated Theta Sagittarii out of the space-time coordinates, but the space-time coordinates formed a barrier, and she couldn't break the barrier with her strength.
Fortunately, Theta Sagittarii broke through from the inside and hit the weakness of the space, so he cooperated with Hua Yan and broke the barrier.
Countless Time Reversal Army surged out of the barrier.
A large number of Time Reversal Army appeared in this era, directly causing the time and space of the Ghost Flower City to be distorted. In order to prevent the situation from worsening, Hua Yan could only seal the entire Ghost Flower City that had turned into "Honmaru" and leave the original timeline. Because she took away "Ghost Flower City" and her own "Honmaru" at the same time, there was a great distortion and fluctuation in the space, and they were thrown into the space-time turbulence.
After Theta Sagittarii was injured and fell, Hua Yan was so angry that she felt dizzy. She wanted to kill the Time Reversal Army in the Ghost Flower City, but she couldn't do it because of Theta Sagittarii's injury, so she could only hand over the matter to Ghost Flower.
Ghost Flower was a new plant, so Hua Yan should bring him back to the plant clan and let the plant clan arrange a guide for him, but Hua Yan couldn't even take care of herself, let alone meddle in his business.
Ghost Flower was also very obedient. He parasitized the body of Ghost Flower Eyes, so he continued to use Ghost Flower Eyes' skin to do things. Now, he had sent all the Time Reversal Army to the operating table, and no one knew what kind of biochemical experiment they were doing.
Hua Yan brought Theta Sagittarii back to Honmaru and explained the current situation to her Knife Spirits. Then, she began to treat Theta Sagittarii's injuries.
Theta Sagittarii was seriously injured this time. He had suffered a very strong mental attack, and the injury was on his Primordial Spirit and not his physical body. It was not something that could be healed with a simple touch of the Honmaru. In order to heal his soul that was almost torn apart, Hua Yan could only plant a seed in him and use the vines of the White Bone Rose to carefully connect them together. The process was delicate and without any mistakes, and even Hua Yan was exhausted.
But the current situation … was not much better.
Hua Yan did not know what happened to Theta Sagittarii in the Void Turbulence, but in order to resist the impact and the erosion of the darkness, he had lost his vision.
Perhaps the person who attacked him wanted to confuse his mind, so he chose to severely injure his "eyes". But in the face of such a tricky injury, Hua Yan was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
The injury to the soul could be carefully treated, but the destroyed 'Spirit Eyes' could not heal by itself, so they could only choose a replacement.
"Your human form is actually a type of 'spirit'. Strictly speaking, it is different from human flesh and blood. You are a construct of spiritual energy, while humans are carbohydrates."
Hua Yan hugged Theta Sagittarii's arm and was still a little shocked. "Destroying the 'Spirit Eyes' means destroying your ability to see. Even if I can restore your eyes, you will not be able to see anything."
"Unless I can find a replacement."
That being said, things were not that easy.
Strictly speaking, Funerary Deities were the amalgamation of human beliefs and legends, and to find a replacement for the existence of "Zong San Zuo Language", it was necessary to have something to do with beliefs.
But … beliefs were fickle, and even if they transformed, they were still a whole. Hua Yan could not just dig out the 'Spirit Eyes' of other Funerary Deities and put it on Theta Sagittarii. Even if she could do it, Theta Sagittarii would not like it.
"Don't be too discouraged. Maybe it's a good thing."
Compared to Hua Yan, Theta Sagittarii was more indifferent. He had been reforged twice, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his body was smashed to pieces. Losing a pair of eyes was not a big deal to him.
But when he thought of Hua Yan's wailing when he woke up, there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. He couldn't help but tease her, "If I can't see, will you really despise me?"
Hua Yan's eyes were red. She did not know what Theta Sagittarii had experienced in the void turbulence, but his soul was so damaged that it must be very sad.
"Yes, yes, yes, I despise you. If you really can't and become ugly, I will find a small dark room and lock you up. You will really be a caged bird."
She angrily and hatefully wrapped her arms around his slender shoulders, gnawing on his thin lips to vent her dissatisfaction.
After fooling around and laughing for a while, Hua Yan cautiously looked at Theta Sagittarii's face. Seeing that the gloom between his brows had dissipated like smoke, she softly asked.
"In the space-time turbulence … what did you see?"
Theta Sagittarii paused for a moment.
He was silent for a long time, as if he was considering his words, but no matter how he tried to explain, he could not express his meaning very well.
"The one who attacked me should be a woman."
Zong San slightly frowned, as if he had thought of something that made him unhappy. After a while, he slowly put his hand into his bosom, placed it over his heart, and said:
"I killed her with my sword, but because I am not sure what she is, I cannot be sure if she is dead or alive."
"But for a moment, my heart … seemed to have something extra."
"Something?"
Hua Yan was a little confused. She raised her hand to push aside Theta Sagittarii's loose hair, pulled open his loose kasaya, and stared at his heart that was engraved with the Demon King's brand.
Hua Yan raised her hand and gently pressed on the brand. She raised her head and asked, "Is it here?"
Theta Sagittarii nodded. His eyes were covered with herbal medicine. It was cool and did not feel uncomfortable, but his body felt as if it had been broken into seven or eight pieces. There was no place that did not hurt.
Hua Yan covered Theta Sagittarii's heart and carefully probed inside with her spiritual energy.
Theta Sagittarii only felt his heart heat up, and an inexplicable emotion surged up. This feeling of loss of control made Theta Sagittarii subconsciously raise his hand to press on the back of Hua Yan's hand, but he only heard Hua Yan gasp.
Hua Yan slowly raised her hand with a dignified expression. Theta Sagittarii's heart glowed with a soft rosy light, and a pigeon egg-sized ruby followed the guidance of Hua Yan's spiritual energy and slowly floated to the surface of Theta Sagittarii's body.
Theta Sagittarii only felt that inexplicable emotion came and went quickly. He felt Hua Yan's shock and could not help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Hua Yan stared coldly at the rose-red gem floating in her palm and asked in bewilderment, "Why is this thing here?"
"What is it?" Zong San held her hand. He could only feel the soft and sweet fragrance coming from her palm and the warmth that made him blush and his heart beat faster.
"Godhead." Hua Yan's face darkened, and she said word by word, "A broken godhead."
