Yggdrasil, the diseased part of the Heart of Darkness, was in an extremely unstable and impatient state. He had probably been driven close to madness by the corruption and erosion of thousands of years, or his rational part had almost been completely replaced by those corrupted factors. Now this powerful demigod only wanted to die, and his abnormal brain was slow even when he was thinking about this problem.
For example, he only realized that Hao Ren could also help him carry out the death sentence.
But Hao Ren obviously did not intend to agree to his request.
"Maybe it's not that bad," Hao Ren quickly dissuaded Yggdrasil. "You can't do anything, but what if I can?"
At this time, the healthy consciousness in the beam of light, the "executioner's consciousness" created by Yggdrasil himself, also said, "I think it makes sense. We can't solve the corruption problem because we are trapped in this body. But this outsider, he can do what we can't. "
Hao Ren suddenly remembered that he had not greeted the beam of light. He quickly turned around and said, "Oh, I haven't introduced myself. I am —"
"I know," the beam of light said in a soft voice, which was louder than the storm and waves of the Sea of Darkness. "I am also the master of this world. I share all the information here with my other self. I heard you when you introduced yourself just now. In fact, I didn't want to show up because it's troublesome to face my other self every time. But your arrival … gives me a glimmer of hope. "
"Hope, hope, what a fluttering thing," Yggdrasil's Heart of Darkness murmured. "It's a motivation without any basis. I really don't know why you are driven by this thing."
"As you can see, the dark negative energy has seriously interfered with my other self's thoughts," the voice of light said apologetically. "He was originally strong and optimistic, and he remained so for the first 5,000 years of being corrupted. However, his thoughts were gradually replaced by the power of corruption. This subtle influence is almost impossible to resist. In fact, I always think that the appearance of 'me' means that this corruption has the upper hand. When Yggdrasil decided to create a substitute consciousness to end himself, 'he' had already bowed to the dark side of his heart. "
"Stupid! Stupid!" Heart of Darkness' voice was filled with anger. "Don't you realize that the situation is getting out of control? I had even lost control of my own body. I could feel that the diseased organ was eroding the entire body of runes on a physical level. It had also changed the environment of Niebelungen! The corruption has moved from the spiritual world to the material world, but you weren't vigilant enough! "
Hao Ren thought of the deformed dark tentacles that ran through the entire land of Niebelungen. It seemed that those tentacles had occupied the entire kingdom of death and could break through the barrier of Midgard at any time. He could not help but ask, "What is the nature of this corruption?"
The Sea of Darkness stirred up monstrous waves, and the rumbling of thunder reverberated between heaven and earth. The pillar of light that pierced through the heavens and earth immediately released a powerful light, forcibly suppressing the riot of the Sea of Darkness. The Heart of Darkness of Yggdrasil finally stabilized after the violent turbulence. His voice was tired. "Nature … nature, ah, as long as I think about this question, I can feel that my soul is undergoing irreversible changes. But I would be happy to talk to you about this thing, if you have the guts to listen."
Hao Ren was shocked by the dramatic changes on the sea just now. He thought that the spiritual world was about to collapse. "Holy moly! Are you okay? "
"It's a big problem! But this problem has been going on for thousands of years. It's okay to drag it out, "the Heart of Darkness rumbled." You are asking about the nature of corruption? It's hard for me to explain it to you. I don't even know when it lurked in the depths of my soul. But I know that it began to attack when I just passed through the wall, so I'm afraid that thing has been lurking in for a long time. It is a kind of … ah, I guess it's something at the spiritual level. At least when it first attacks, it is limited to the realm of the soul and spirit. "
"Spiritual virus?" Hao Ren suddenly came up with such a word.
"What a wonderful word," the Heart of Darkness praised. "I'm afraid that it is really a virus, lurking in the depths of my soul. It absorbs my strength to grow and wreaks havoc in my spiritual world. But this is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that this thing has spread through my dreams. Can you imagine? This monster lurking in the spiritual world gradually overflowed from my dreams and crawled into the real world! At first, I found that some of my limbs had shrunk, so I cut them off, but these limbs soon became a monster that ravaged the world. Later, I found that I began to secrete poisonous liquid in the Niebelungen area. This liquid was completely condensed hatred and madness. A poor black dragon bumped into my diseased organ and went crazy the next day. So I knew that the corruption had begun to move from the spiritual world to the material world. "
Hao Ren went over the "corruption" of Yggdrasil several times in his mind, but he could not find any scientific and reasonable explanation. But he vaguely guessed that there was a mastermind behind it. "Do you know who planted the seed of corruption in you?"
The Heart of Darkness was silent for a few seconds before it spoke again. "You must have investigated a lot of things. Otherwise, you would not have asked this question. Yes, the corruption could not have appeared out of thin air, and it could not have been a hidden danger when Mother created me. So it must have come from the enemy. All the suffering came from the force that was against Mother. I have been investigating the source of the corruption. Although I have not made a breakthrough, I believe that it came from Mother's enemy. "
"I know about the war 10,000 years ago," Hao Ren said. "The rebels who plotted to kill the goddess created the corruption factor? To stop the plan of the goddess of creation? "
"Ha! The things you've investigated are much more than I imagined! " The voice of the Heart of Darkness was filled with irrepressible excitement. "I believe in you more and more, and of course, suspect you more and more! It seems that you are either really a friend of Mother, or another villain. But this is not important, I have nothing else to do. Those treacherous children? You have overestimated them. How could those deranged fools subvert Mother's great plan? Well, they did subvert a little, but they could never subvert Mother's greatest plan! They did not have the ability to plant the corruption factor in my body, but behind them … there is a force, and that force is the culprit. It has been fighting with Mother for many eras, and I believe that only that force could have caused what I am now. "
Hao Ren's guess was confirmed. "The 'voice' that instigated the treacherous children to kill the goddess, the one that calls itself the Cosmic Progenitor?"
"… You even know this."
"I have been investigating this for a long time." Hao Ren exhaled. "I even found the wreckage of the Gate of Solenne, but I could not find any more fragments of the divine realm. I also found parts of the Creation's Engine, and my team and I are even trying to assemble that thing. If you are willing to give me more credit, I can tell you more, and show you something that you might be interested in. "
"The Gate of Solenne … the Creation's Engine …" This time, it was the light that spoke. "I think this person is trustworthy."
"I think so too," the Heart of Darkness agreed with the Voice of Light in a rare moment of calmness. "Alright, strange demigod. You are a fellow who has piqued my interest, and you know many things. What are you going to show me?"
"I do not know the cause of your corruption, but I have successfully controlled a fellow that is of the same origin as your corruption." Hao Ren weighed his words. "Do you know the process of … the fall of the goddess of creation?"
The sea of darkness suddenly surged, and endless waves almost covered the sky. The entire sea seemed to be hanging upside down. After a long while, everything slowly returned to normal.
"Of course, I will never forget," the two consciousnesses of Yggdrasil said at the same time.
"The black sword that killed the god, if I am not wrong, it is something that the Cosmic Progenitor created." Hao Ren calmed himself down. "Now it is in my hands, and I have control over it."
The whole world was turned upside down.
But in the end, Hao Ren was not ejected from the connection, and the spiritual world did not collapse. Yggdrasil was just greatly affected, but like the other guardians, his calm and wise side was still there, and he did not vent his anger on a weapon.
The Godslayer was taken out by Hao Ren, in spiritual form.
In the pure spiritual world, the Godslayer turned into another black peak. This peak appeared out of thin air beside the thorny mountain of the Heart of Darkness, and easily occupied a spot in the sea of darkness. It curiously looked around, and immediately began to introduce itself. "Oh, hello everyone, I am the Godslayer, alias Echo Wall, nickname Small Sword. You can call me Householder Stabber … Oh, why is it so noisy here?"
