Huai Shi was a man of his word.
He said it very happily, and it was indeed very happily.
To put it bluntly, it was painful and fast.
By the time he swung his greatsword V4.0, the spiked club version, from the top of the city to the bottom of the city, all the giant beasts that dared to invade the city were finished off amidst a sea of blood.
As the MVP, Huai Shi's dog contributed about 40% of the damage. In other words, almost 30 giant beasts were killed by him with his mace or metal breath.
The battle was over.
They won.
After losing the country and people he protected, the lonely king won, even if this victory was meaningless in Huai Shi's eyes.
It was completely putting the cart before the horse!
When the giant beasts gathered in front of the palace again, they saw His Majesty the King on the throne in the open hall.
He seemed to have regained his former glory.
He had regained his youth.
Layers of distortion covered his body, and it became inconceivably coordinated, as if negative and negative were positive.
Even Huai Shi, who was face blind, felt that among the lizardmen, the king's appearance belonged to the handsome and dignified type.
Now, the last king held a scepter in his hand and sat on his throne.
Wise and mighty.
He seemed to be in high spirits, but it could not hide the deep lethargy and exhaustion in his eyes.
Facing the giant beasts waiting for orders, the distorted limbs slowly raised the scepter in his hand, pointing at the collapsed city wall and the empty countries on the other side.
"Counterattack. Let's offer a final sacrifice to this dying country." He said softly, "Great Spirits, throw yourself into your war. You can get everything you want there."
Accompanied by his words, the last blood light rose from his scepter and enveloped the bodies of the giant beasts, catalyzing their transformation, causing countless fierce auras to soar into the sky.
The explorers left without saying a word.
Only the king, who was swallowed by distortion, was left on the throne, and Huai Shi was left in the hall.
He stood in the middle of countless flowers of flesh and blood that were twitching in pain.
He tilted his head and looked at the king.
Jonathan carefully poked his head out from afar and watched this scene. He excitedly recorded all kinds of data to witness the arrival of the end.
"Why did you stay behind, Great Spirit?"
Amidst the layers of distortion, the king struggled to raise his slender neck. His twisted face scrutinized Huai Shi. "Why do you insist on … coming to see my unbearable ugliness?"
"Although I've always suspected that you had ulterior motives, you've never harmed me. On the contrary, I've benefited a lot from you."
Huai Shi raised his sharp claws and tore apart the flower of flesh wrapped around his wrist. He flicked it away and looked up at him. "But whether it's a human or a dog, there has to be a beginning and an end, right?"
The king did not say anything. Amidst the wails that gradually sounded, faces of pain emerged from the flowers of flesh and blood.
They were the people who were immersed in the abyssal distortion, the lizardmen who were infected with plague and erosion … Whether it was the ascetic monks or the high priest, almost all the lizardmen had been integrated into the king's body at this moment.
The distorted limbs could not hide the wails of the countless souls. They opened their eyes in the eternal darkness and suffocation, shed tears of blood, and looked up at the dark sky.
But they still prayed fervently.
They prayed that this endless suffering could end.
To end this eternal pain.
Behind the king, the Eye of the Divine Remains shattered without a sound. The last bit of blood fused into his body, causing his aberration to completely cross the boundary of the taboo. He violently drew out endless Abyss sediment and plunged deeper into the abyss.
"This is your plan?"
Huai Shi sighed softly. "Completely integrate yourself with the Divine Remains, become a monster, and seal the consciousness of all the people in your body? In this way, can you survive the arrival of the end of the world? "
"This is … the king's … duty … isn't it?"
A hoarse and indistinct voice sounded from the king's body that was gradually transforming. It sounded so weak. "This is … the price … we … have to pay …"
In order to survive, in order to continue living, in order to protect the kingdom.
In order to complete his mission and duty.
The price he had to pay.
If it was just to endure the torment of pain, this price could be said to be frivolous and cheap.
It was too worth it.
At this moment, with the hoarse wails, he finally truly integrated with his kingdom!
"This will only drag the entire kingdom down into the abyss, right?"
Huai Shi looked down at his ugly appearance with pity and slowly shook his head. "This is not a problem that can be solved with determination. Their weight is too heavy. You can't hold it."
Hundreds of thousands of patients infected by the abyssal plague had terrifying erosive power. In an instant, the king would be assimilated into a monster in the abyss.
Even if it relied on the Godly Remains, it could not bear such a terrifying weight.
They would only fall into hell along with their kingdom.
"At least … we're still alive, aren't we?"
From the warts and messy limbs, the king raised his head. With tears of blood, he smiled at Sui Xiong with difficulty. "At least … we can still … exist …"
"God … Almighty God … You are so merciful …"
"You have never … bestowed complete annihilation …"
"If this is our fate … our … original sin … then I … will also … gladly endure it …"
In the roars and wails of countless people, the king's face gradually melted. He spread his arms and was entangled by countless flowers of flesh and blood. He completely lost his outline.
Only countless hideous mouthparts covered with sharp teeth were left on countless faces. They cried out hungrily at the sky.
The earth trembled.
The palace shattered. From the loud noise, dozens of huge tentacles rose from the ground. They pulled the king's bloated and burdensome body and propped up his deformed body.
It was a terrifying shadow that covered the sky like a spider.
It was bathed in painful flames. The red color covered the distorted faces. It was as if it was born from the womb of the abyss and was born in this painful world.
The king's wish was fulfilled.
His great cause was a success.
At the same time, it could also be called a failure. It finally lost its nature under the erosion of the abyss and was immersed in endless appetite and madness.
This kind of aberrant evolution could not be considered survival at all. At best, it was just struggling at death's door in the end of the world.
It might not even be long before it collapsed, fragmented, and turned into other messy things. It might even rot completely.
Until the true evil consciousness transformed from the pain of hundreds of thousands of souls and turned into a brand new existence. Like a parasite in a cicada's body, it broke out of its shell …
When the countless hungry cries soared into the sky, Fu Yi finally could not help but speak.
"Should we go?"
"We can go, but it's not necessary."
Huai Shi shook his head and suddenly said, "Do you want to know what I do on a daily basis?"
"Hmm?" Fu Yi was puzzled.
"Although I really want to say that I'm protecting the peace of the present realm or fighting against evil forces, in fact, after thinking about it for a long time, I realized that in the end, I'm just doing whatever I want according to my own temperament."
Huai Shi sighed, "Even if I occasionally do something good, it's just a coincidence. It's not worth writing about or being thanked. Sometimes, I accidentally make a mess and have to rely on others to clean up the mess for me. It's so embarrassing, it's not good at all. "
He paused, tilted his head and thought, and then said seriously, "But I have to say, it's really cool to do whatever you want."
It's as cool as playing an idiom.
Although to a certain extent, it could be equivalent to seeking death.
Even Huai Shi herself found it hard to believe that after experiencing so much, he hadn't changed in the slightest.
As always, he was stubborn.
Crow was actually right. After gaining power, most people would do whatever they wanted … Huai Shi was no different from others. If there was a difference, it was just that what he wanted was more extravagant than what others pursued.
"So what do you want to say?" Fu Yi sighed, "You don't want to be a human anymore?"
"Now that I've become a dog, how can I be a human?"
Huai Shi shook his head, "I'm just informing you in advance that there's a high probability that I won't be able to carry you anymore. You still remember what you promised me, right?"
He took a step back and kicked the Crystal Lizard that was intoxicated in research and records, indicating that it was time for him to work.
"You should go," Huai Shi said, "If things don't go well, I'll leave soon."
"…"
Fu Yi clicked her tongue and reluctantly got out of the bell, pursing her lips.
She glared at Huai Shi one last time, then turned and walked into the light door opened by Jonathan.
In the brief silence, Huai Shi frowned, "Fu Yi, don't make trouble!"
No one responded.
"She really left?" Huai Shi asked.
Jonathan nodded like he was pounding garlic.
After confirming that Fu Yi had left through the records of the astronomy meeting, Huai Shi was relieved and wagged his tail, indicating that this guy should stay away.
Finally, he looked at the monster that was hissing and preparing to leave.
"Hey!"
In comparison, Huai Shi, who could only reach the first joint of the monster's leg, raised his head and said, "Do you want to fight?"
In order to make his presence felt, Huai Shi opened his mouth and spat on the king's shoes.
If it still had shoes.
In short, the effect was outstanding. As the scorching molten iron churned, the spider-like monster of flesh and blood roared angrily. It suddenly raised one of its huge legs and stomped down on Huai Shi.
In the roar, the air burst out and swept in all directions.
In the flying dust, the outline of the Dragon Wolf gradually appeared.
"I'll take it that you agree …"
