"Is our world supposed to be pitch-black?"
"Is our home supposed to be so lonely? This wasteland with nothing at all is our starting point, our home, and where we belong? In that case, what are we, who have our own will and will? "
"Dolls? Mother's dolls? Or are we just a bunch of programs that have been injected with our own will, just like the clouds and oceans that will cycle on their own without doing anything? "
"… Titan's end is the starting point of all other life? Mother … no, Lord Aishi, you're truly cruel. You created us, but you never appeared. Instead, you gave us the cruelest of fates. There are too many unfairness and you can't think things through. It's like … it's like we're nothing more than an experimental field? A half-finished product? A … piece of trash? "
"… Since we're destined to be abandoned … why did you give us … ourselves? Wouldn't a mindless clay doll be more capable of fulfilling your rules? "
"Mother, Gura curses you …"
The Gray-Silver Elder was so ancient that all Titan had forgotten about him. "Elder" was only his honorific title. He also had the simple name of Gura.
For a long period of time, tens of thousands of years, a hundred thousand years, or even a million years, he was a good elder brother in the eyes of his younger brothers. He was a good leader in the eyes of his followers and branch tribes.
He was resolute, just, and never looked askance. He was also humane and tolerant.
"The Fire Lady was too violent. She toyed with her vassal tribes as she pleased. She saw killing and fighting as a form of entertainment. The Sea Emperor was playful and selfish. He once tossed out huge waves to drown the continent. He raised islands and swallowed them as he pleased. Countless intelligent tribes were destroyed by him. As for the Lord of the Skies …"
"Arrogant, far too arrogant. He's never stepped on the ground, and he's never talked to any species other than the Titan Giants. Actually, even when facing his own species, he's always given orders. He doesn't care about any other species at all. Everyone is nothing more than his slaves or materials …"
"… Only the Lord of the Lands was the most benevolent elder brother in this world …"
"Elder" was a title given to him by all the tribes and vassals. He was everyone's elder brother, their senior, their leader, their star of enlightenment, their king, the morning sun that illuminated all things … But who would know that the pain and suffering in his heart had long since driven him insane? The darkness was only a barrier for him to hibernate. Fair treatment? Haha, that's just a mechanical implementation of the rules.
Under the Mother Goddess's Tree of Life, the Titan species were the pinnacle. At the same time, they were also the solid roots and future support. They had a noble mission and were truly immortal. However, they were also destined to fall to the ground one day and become nutrients for the entire world.
Titan wielded the Laws and the mysteries of the world, but at the same time, he also nurtured the power of Order and Laws. When the Laws of the world became clear, they had to fuse with the world and return everything to the world.
This wasn't some incredible secret. It was a power that the Titan species had carved into their bloodlines. They used their bodies and bloodlines to create this world. Their flesh would become mountains, and their bones and blood would become new tribes. The giants and dwarves were their direct descendants.
Such a fate was something that the high-level Titan species had only heard of. The four Titan species had known about it from the moment they were born. However, that fate was destined to be countless tens of thousands of years in the future. Some of them let go of the future, while others ignored it. However, as their elder brother and leader, there was someone who was unable to let go of it.
He was the tribe leader, the leader, and the eldest brother. He had the responsibility to find a way out for his tribe and brothers. Even if it was an illusory path countless eons in the future, for an undying individual, it was still an impending arrival.
Perhaps if he went to Aishi and obtained the method to hibernate the entire tribe into petrification and hide in a half-plane from the Titan King there, waiting for the world to perfect itself, perhaps everything would be different.
However, there were no 'ifs' in this world. His overly stubborn sense of responsibility would become a huge rock weighing down on his heart when he couldn't fulfill his responsibility. It would constantly pressure him, frighten him, and drive him insane.
His overly serious personality would easily go to extremes when he didn't receive any returns from his investment, or even negative returns. Every single moment, he would be thinking about this unsolvable problem …
"I have to betray Mother."
If he wanted to survive, he would have to go against Mother's arrangements. However, how could he, who had a serious personality, be willing to betray his Creator Mother's arrangements? As the God's First Born, he naturally had the responsibility to protect all order and the Creator Mother's dignity … or at least, that was what he felt.
It was normal. It couldn't be any more normal. He went insane.
Part of him wanted to carry out the Creator Mother's arrangements and the responsibility of being the First Born.
Another part of him wanted to carry out his responsibility as the leader of the Titan species. He wanted to open up a path for his tribe, or he wanted to simply leave this world.
His thoughts on both sides tore at each other. In the end … the insane Titan species tore himself in half.
That half of the Titan species that was still obsessed with order had a new name, Finnstrand.
Yes, that's right. Rorschach was tricked again … The one that was hidden under the volcano wasn't some Titan prince. Graysilver had been single all his life and had no descendants. However, he wasn't lying either.
"I am Graysilver's First Born, the prince of the mountain herders. He was the one who created me. As his assistant and successor, I am also the current Earth Sovereign. 5000 years ago, Graysilver hoped to corrupt me and lead me to his side through his bloodline. The Lady of Flames sealed me and helped me. The Sky Sovereign sent his most trusted guards to protect me. Please don't undo my seal … or else, everything will end. "
Un, you were indeed created by Graysilver. You were also his child. You were even his assistant and successor. Not only are you the current Earth Sovereign, you were also the previous Earth Sovereign … Facing such an old fox who had lived for more than ten thousand years, Rorschach was still too young. His natural talent was simply counterproductive.
However, it was precisely because Finn shouldered the responsibility of being the Earth Sovereign that Gura, who was freed from the restraints of the world's laws, finally left this world.
Nobody knew what happened to the gray-silver elder after he left Ansolon. However, after more than five thousand years, his will returned for a single instant … In just a single instant, Finn was almost infused with Gura's will and instantly became Gura's incarnation and puppet.
The difference between the two of them was as big as the difference between a firefly and a bonfire. Just by getting close, the firefly couldn't maintain itself.
Helplessly, Finn could only seal himself and borrow the power of the Lady of Flames. By infusing himself with the fire element, he was able to avoid being assimilated by his bloodline and soul. However, even so, he was still unable to leave the seal. He wasn't confident that he could still maintain his original self after leaving the seal.
Rorschach's initial thoughts weren't wrong. Just a Titan who was a mixture of earth and fire had already violated the most basic laws. There was something fishy going on behind this and it wasn't something that mortals could come into contact with.
Unfortunately, even though the seal was effective, Finn could feel that "he" was getting stronger and stronger. One day, he would still turn into a clone.
A puppet … How could it have the right to wield a God Equipment?
On that day, the God Equipment of Life and Earth no longer listened to his orders. Instead, it was faintly being summoned by its original owner.
What he feared the most was probably the Graysilver elder's true return. Seven years ago, the elder's incarnation descended to search for him.
The volcano Titan who was filled with fear instantly saw Rorschach. Sensing the difference in his life potential, he didn't hesitate to "throw the blame" away … However, he was still worried about an outsider like Rorschach. He planned to observe him for a few thousand years and also watch this child grow up … He really felt that Rorschach would need a few thousand years to grow up.
Er, the long-lived species' concept of time had been criticized by humans countless times. The concept of time of a true undying being could probably be criticized by the long-eared species.
However, it was obvious that he didn't have the time to observe anymore. The arrival of the Aishi People greatly pushed forward the self-evolution and perfection of the plane … He was hungry. He wanted to break out of his shell. He wanted to enjoy the final … "nourishment".
"Fate, it's here. It's unavoidable, unavoidable. It's here, it's here."
A panicked roar echoed throughout the entire world. The Titan who was filled with fear and sorrow spoke in the Graysilver elder who was holding Gloria and beating her up fiercely.
He had two faces. One was cold while the other was filled with fear. He was crying and sorrowful. He acted like a child who had done something bad and was about to be punished.
Obviously, Gura's insanity wasn't cured after leaving his hometown. The conflict between responsibility and emotions, emotions and rationality caused him to split again. Perhaps, he would give birth to another "Finn" soon.
On his neck and cheeks, there were human-shaped scars. The scariest thing was that half of his neck was chopped off … Perhaps, he had undergone such splitting countless times.
Was it because he didn't want to spend energy to maintain his appearance after leaving his hometown, or was it because he lost control and revealed his true appearance as an Evil God? Graysilver Gura probably wasn't Titan anymore … He was a Universe Evil God who was far scarier than Titan!
Gloria's "Kiting Strategy" was destined to fail. As time passed, Graysilver became stronger and uglier. He also became more and more … insane.
One by one, ferocious faces fell from the monster's body like mud falling off a pair of boots. When they landed on the ground, they quickly twisted and enlarged. They either roared and charged towards the main body or destroyed everything around them in a frenzy.
"The herder of life?"
