Chapter 983

"Boom!"

When the Sovereign's Spear pierced into Shien's forehead before he could even react, Shien only felt a boom in his head, and his consciousness gradually flew away.

When Shien's consciousness returned, he discovered that he was no longer in the temple.

He arrived in the air above a dazzling sea of flowers, and he seemed to have become an illusory existence, floating lightly in the air, becoming a ghost.

This feeling was very familiar to Shien.

"Dream …"

That's right, Sean once again entered the dream of looking back at the history of the distant past.

The difference was that this time, Shien was not alone.

"You should already know the relationship between the First Hero, the Goddess of Origins, and the Demon King of Terminus, right?"

The Goddess, who wielded the Sovereign's Spear, silently appeared next to Shien. Just like him, she seemed to have become an illusory existence, a light, floating ghost.

"Before this world gave birth to any life other than the Goddess and the Demon King, when there were only three people in this world, you should have some understanding of the complicated relationship between the three, right?"

The Goddess looked at Shien, confirming this.

Shien nodded silently.

The relationship between the First Hero and the Overgod.

The relationship between the First Hero and the Demon King.

The relationship between the Overgod and the Demon King.

Shien did have some understanding of the complicated relationship between the three.

"The Hero, who was originally viewed by the Goddess as a trump card to defeat the Demon King, was summoned to this world. In the end, not only did he become friends with the Goddess, who had never spoken to anyone other than himself, he also became friends with the Demon King, who had never spoken to anyone other than himself. This caused the relationship between the Goddess and the Demon King to become extremely complicated."

The Goddess said calmly.

"At that time, the Goddess had yet to realize her mistake. She was only one-sidedly hostile towards the Demon King, who was like a natural enemy to her. She didn't notice the conflict in her good friend's heart at all. She forced her good friend onto the battlefield, forcing the so-called mission of defeating the Demon King onto her."

All the tragedies could be said to have started from that moment.

"The Demon King, who was supposed to be a dangerous existence, was more meticulous than anyone else, and he desired others more than anyone else. The Goddess didn't notice this."

"The Hero, who was supposed to be the strongest weapon, was more kind than anyone else, and he was more afraid of battle than anyone else."

"Even though she claims to be omnipotent, she doesn't even understand the inner thoughts of others. She doesn't try to understand them, and she doesn't even notice them. In the end, she caused a massacre that should have been mitigated."

"Because of her stubbornness, the Hero, who was her good friend, had no choice but to accept this so-called mission. Meanwhile, the Demon King was completely injured and became suicidal."

The Goddess's voice was strangely calm, making it hard for Shien to breathe.

This was indeed a past that would suffocate people no matter how many times they heard it.

But the real tragedy was about to unfold from this moment onwards.

"What's ironic is that the Demon King clearly had more power than anyone else. But because of this power, she couldn't even kill herself."

"As one of the 'Two Primal Ones', as long as the precious jade in her body isn't destroyed, she's absolutely immortal."

"But the precious jade itself is one of the two 'Points of Mass' that balance all Concepts. It's immortal, indestructible, and won't disappear."

"So, even if the Demon King kills herself, she'll immediately revive in less than 0.01 second."

To a certain extent, this was indeed a state of despair.

Wanting to die but not being able to, living a life worse than death, was the greatest torture in this world.

The Demon King's power made her feel helpless.

"The only person who can bestow the Demon King the gift of death is the Hero and the Holy Sword."

As the Demon King's natural enemy, the Hero's Holy Sword could kill the Demon King.

Once the Holy Sword pierced through the vital point, even the Demon King wouldn't be able to revive using the precious jade.

"If the Demon King wants to revive after being pierced through by the Holy Sword, either the conditions for revival must be met, or a long period of time will be needed."

"And if the precious jade is taken away by the Hero or a Goddess who is on the same level as the Demon King and suppressed by the Holy Sword or the power of another precious jade, then the resurrection of the Demon King will become an extravagant hope."

This was the only way to make the Demon King die.

In the past, the Goddess also wanted to use this method. She wanted the Hero to help her kill the Demon King, then use her own power to suppress the Demon King's precious jade, so that the Demon King would never be able to revive again.

This way, the Goddess' wish would be fulfilled.

Under such circumstances …

"If the Demon King, who had no choice but to die, wanted to die, then there was only one way left."

The Goddess used an indifferent tone and said the cruelest truth.

"She wanted to fulfill the Hero's wish and die under her sword."

This was the sad and lamentable choice made by the Demon King. At the same time, it was also the last record that Shien saw from the stone slab.

"'So be it. Let them kill me. This is good for everyone.'"

The last record left by the Demon King on the slate reappeared in front of Sean's eyes as if it was still vivid in his mind.

In a sense, he could already guess what would happen next.

"The Demon King, who had the will to die, found the Goddess and the Hero and started a battle with them."

As the Goddess spoke, she raised the God's Spear and pointed at the space before her.

Thus, the familiar dream before Shien's eyes finally continued.

Shien only felt his vision blur for a moment before he felt a terrifying pressure that blotted out the sky and covered the earth pressing down on him.

Before his eyes, the originally bright and beautiful sea of flowers was shattering without knowing when.

The sky seemed to be covered, dark and gloomy.

The ground was collapsing, shattering and collapsing.

The beautiful sea of flowers disintegrated on the spot. Not only was it collapsing and exploding, but there were also all sorts of natural disasters ravaging the surroundings.

The volcano was erupting.

The storm was sweeping.

Lightning bolts struck down from the sky, bombarding the ground.

The whole world seemed like it was welcoming the end of the world. It became extremely oppressive, violent and terrifying.

And the ones who caused all of this were two young girls.

The pure white Goddess.

The pitch-black Demon King.

The two most powerful existences in the world began to battle in this world. They transformed into two incomparably dazzling streaks of light, one white and one black, clashing nonstop in mid-air.

The collision was so terrifying that it seemed as though each collision could cause the heavens to collapse and the earth to shatter.

That collision and the sound it stirred up could cause forests to crumble and mountains to collapse.

The battle between the Goddess of Origin and the Demon King of Terminus brought incomparably terrifying destruction to this world.

In this apocalyptic scene, even Shien felt as though he could be crushed at any moment, like an ant being crushed to death. He couldn't breathe at all.

In the future, some of the major changes that remained in various parts of the world were probably caused by this battle as well.

For example, it was said that the birth of Demon Spirits and Demons was due to the Demon King's demonic powers. The Deathlands that were sealed and purified by the Elven Queen Sophie began to sprout from this battle.

The same was true for the World Aperture in Kosmos.

It was all because of the power that leaked out from the battle between the Demon King and the Goddess that these phenomena appeared in this world and had been affecting this world ever since.

This was the horror of the Demon King and the Goddess.

But Shien also saw it.

In the center of this apocalyptic scene, below the Goddess and the Demon King who were constantly clashing, a young girl holding a dazzling holy sword was desperately persevering in all kinds of natural disasters. As she trembled, she shouted something towards the sky.

Shien couldn't hear her voice.

But he knew that the Hero girl was definitely thinking of ways to stop the battle between the two of them.

The Goddess's voice also came from the side.

"It's very sad that both sides clearly regard the child as a special and important existence, but in this battle, neither of them heard the child's shout."

"Of course, they also didn't notice the child's fear, the child's trembling, and even subconsciously forgot that their battle would affect the child at any time and hurt her."

"No, they might have noticed it, otherwise, the child wouldn't have been able to persevere until now without being involved in the aftermath of the battle and surviving until now. This world wouldn't still be in perfect shape either. This is the result of them deliberately restraining part of their power, right?"

"But that's precisely why it's sad."

Because they clearly noticed this, but ignored it. In their eyes, all that was left was their long-cherished wish, and in order to accomplish it, they disregarded everything else.

In the end, the Goddess was gradually suppressed by the Demon King and couldn't keep up.

In the end, the Demon King was still the true strongest person in this world. In terms of power, the Goddess, who was proficient in everything, couldn't compare to him.

"At this time, the Goddess can only let her own Hero fight."

"Only by helping the Hero and piercing the Demon King's heart with the holy sword can we win this battle."

Exactly.

The Goddess, who had transformed into a dazzling meteor, returned to the Hero girl's side and shouted something at her.

The Hero girl shook her head desperately, her face full of fear, obviously rejecting all of this.

At this time, the Demon King also appeared in front of the Hero girl.

Her eyes were cold and lifeless, dim and devoid of light, causing the brave girl standing in front of her to tremble uncontrollably, unable to suppress the fear.

The Goddess stood in front of the Hero girl, but was sent flying by a punch from the Demon King that seemed to teleport.

It was an ordinary punch, but it instantly blasted the goddess to the end of the world and sent her flying to the other side of the world.

Then, the Demon King turned to the Hero girl.

The tragedy unfolded.
