Home of the Elves, the Queen's Palace.
In the corridor leading to the shrine, Shien's figure suddenly appeared without warning. He even staggered a few times as if he was suddenly thrown over, looking rather pathetic.
However, Shien quickly steadied himself. He looked around and was speechless for a long time.
He was speechless and didn't know what to say. He could only remain silent for a long time.
After a long time, Shien rubbed his temples and revealed a fatigued expression.
"Is this the truth of the past?"
Although the mystery of the Demon King's war hadn't been solved, just like what the Goddess said, Shien actually had some guesses in his heart.
But if that was really the case …
"Isn't the so-called Demon King too tragic?"
Shien really didn't want to admit that guess.
Otherwise, he really couldn't help but sympathize with that person.
And he more or less knew why the Goddess asked him to make a choice.
That Goddess wanted to see how he would view that person, right?
After all, Shien was the son of the First Brave, and the First Brave was the Demon King's most valued friend.
However, the First Brave had been killed by the Demon King, and he was killed in such a tragic way that his ending was extremely tragic.
In other words, to a certain extent, the Demon King was definitely Shien's enemy, the kind of enemy that could not live under the same sky as him.
But …
Shien touched his chest and felt the power that the Supreme Goddess had named [Supreme Authority].
A part of this power belonged to the Demon King.
"In order to save her friend, she didn't hesitate to lose half of her power?"
This was no longer something that could be described as generous.
No, considering what happened to the Demon King, perhaps to her, her overly powerful power was just a curse.
Because of this power, she destroyed the world created by the Goddess again and again, and thus became the Goddess's enemy.
Because of this power, she caused her friend to not be allowed to come into contact with her, and there were many conflicts between her and the Goddess who summoned her.
It was because of this power that she had lost control of herself and killed her weaker friends, resulting in the worst possible outcome.
It could be said that everything that had happened was caused by this excessively powerful force.
In this case, if losing half of this power could save an important friend, it should be something that the Demon King wished for, right?
If that was the case, could he still treat that person purely as an enemy, an enemy?
What should he do?
Shien was at a loss, which was rare.
He could only change his thoughts, close his eyes, and think.
"Since the Demon King has lost half of his power a long time ago, that is to say, the invincible King of Demons has only shown half of his power at his peak?"
"Even with only half of his power, it is enough to cut the world into three parts, threaten the entire Omnippertansen, make the Protoss and the human race helpless, and even kill the heroes who have reached transcendence who came to challenge him?"
"The power of the Demon King may be more terrifying than I imagined."
If Sean knew that when Artemis faced the demon king, she was so frightened that she lost her composure and fled in panic, then he would definitely have a deeper understanding of the power of the demon king.
Then …
"Is Danas going to resurrect her like this?"
Shien exhaled.
He was still a little confused.
He didn't know exactly what to do.
But he had a faint wish.
— — "If there is a chance, I really want to see those two again." — —
This sentence became the only voice in Shien's heart at this moment.
Thinking of this, Shien opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Shien found.
Someone was standing in front of him.
"What are you thinking about?"
La Xia had come in front of Shien. She stood in a dignified and graceful posture, staring straight at Shien's face, her ruby-like eyes revealed a look that others could not see.
Looking at this familiar maid, in a trance, Shien seemed to see another person under this face.
The black-haired, red-eyed Demons girl.
Behind this face, who could imagine how many unknown stories were hidden, and how many unknown sorrows were hidden?
Thinking of this, Shien had involuntarily stretched out his hand and touched La Xia's face.
The smooth, elastic, and delicate face of hers immediately pressed against his palm.
"… Master?"
Hua Xia was stunned for a moment.
Presumably, even someone as capable as she did not expect that Shien would suddenly make such a move.
Moreover, Shien's movement was so gentle, and his eyes were full of pity, which made La Xia's heart tremble, and there was a strange emotion that she could not explain.
There was no doubt that no one had ever shown such a look to her.
There was also no doubt that no one had ever been so gentle and tender to her.
Although Lésia also cherished La Xia, it was just cherishing. She would not pity La Xia for no reason and treat La Xia so gently and softly.
Naturally, La Xia had never had deep contact with others. Even because of her background, she had always been treated as a wanted criminal like Lésia for the past 10 years, and people kept a respectful distance from her.
Therefore, this was the first time in La Xia's life that she had experienced such an experience.
Moreover, the object was Shien. La Xia was silent for a long time, and finally reached out her hand and touched Shien's cheek.
Feeling the slightly cold and soft jade hand on his cheek, Shien was a little sober.
"Sorry, I lost my composure."
Shien retracted his hand and apologized to La Xia.
La Xia shook her head and retracted her hand as well. Her expression returned to its usual calmness.
Of course, whether or not her heart had calmed down, only she herself would know.
"What were you thinking about just now?"
La Xia asked again.
"… Yes." Shien was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I was thinking about something that doesn't seem like something I would do, and it doesn't quite fit my style."
"… Is that so?" La Xia was silent for a while, then looked straight at Shien and said, "Then, master, have you figured it out?"
"Not yet." Shien replied honestly, "Although this matter has a lot to do with me, I am after all not the person involved. Until now, I still haven't sorted out the situation, and I don't know what role I should play in this chaotic dispute."
This was Shien's current true thoughts and feelings.
Even though he had always been pursuing the truth, and now that half of the mystery had been solved, Shien was still disturbed by this sudden shocking truth.
Especially his own background, it made Shien even more unsure of how to deal with it.
He hadn't completely recovered his past memories yet. He could only remember some extremely deep impressions of the past.
Therefore, what Sean was feeling right now was that it didn't feel real.
Originally, he thought that he was just an ordinary person from another world, and because he was lucky enough to become a hero, he was summoned to this world by Nyon, and obtained a second life, a chance to live again as a hero in this unfamiliar world.
Therefore, apart from not wanting to expose his identity in the beginning, which would cause the collapse of peace, and not wanting to cause any trouble, Sean basically lived his life however he wanted without being noticed by anyone, and never insisted on anything.
He did as he pleased, was free, and enjoyed when he wanted to.
This was the truest portrayal of Shien's mentality after he came to this world.
That was how he did it. In the short span of less than a year, he had experienced a lot of things that were worth recalling.
Who would have thought that there would be such a secret about his birth?
He was not lucky enough to have the qualities to become a hero, nor was he lucky enough to obtain the chance to live again. Instead, he was born a hero, and inherited the name and power of a hero.
The fact that he was summoned to this world was obviously an inevitable result, and not some random good luck.
From the moment he was born, he already had an inseparable connection with this world. In fact, he even had an inseparable connection with the two highest existences in this world.
In addition, he had a mother who was a first-generation hero, and even the Goddess and the Demon King regarded her as the only important person …
This truth had completely rejected Shien's attitude towards life in this world.
Of course, with such a large amount of information, even if Shien was bombarded by all kinds of information from his previous life, it would not be easy for him to sort it out in a short period of time.
In this case, how could Shien clearly know what he should do?
But …
"Although I don't know what kind of role I should play, there is one thing that I really want to try."
Shien muttered as if he was talking to himself.
"No, it is necessary to try."
This was Sean's only state of mind and his only thought at the moment.
La Xia did not respond to this. She only looked straight at Shien, as if she wanted to see through Shien's mind at this moment. Her ruby eyes were filled with indescribable depth.
Then, La Xia said something.
"Perhaps, this is fate."
La Xia said so.
Shien shook his head.
"This is just an ill-fated relationship that even fate can't control."
That was what happened.
At least, the concept of fate could be controlled by Lidas, the Goddess of Fate, and even Rosie could interfere with it.
But that sorrowful past was something that even existences higher and stronger than the Goddess of Destiny could only bow their heads in submission.
That was indeed an ill-fated relationship that even fate couldn't control.
And Shien would challenge this ill-fated relationship.
Or rather, he would intervene in this ill-fated relationship.
