Two similar yet completely conflicting forces constantly erupted from Yatoku's body. The dark red sword in his chest suddenly turned into a pile of powder under the impact of this violent force, and then dissipated into nothingness.
His curse was over.
Yatoku closed his eyes and felt the familiar feeling of his body returning bit by bit. But what surprised him was that the power of the ascenders, which he thought was contaminated, still existed under Li Ke's magic. Not only that, but it was also faintly harmonizing with his new ascender power, waiting for his command.
The two forces that should have been incompatible existed in his body at the same time. Not only did he not become weaker, but he also became stronger. Now, he was equivalent to the combination of two ascenders, but it wasn't as simple as one plus one. It was a more terrifying superposition. He reached a realm that he had never reached before and sensed things that he couldn't before.
Now, even if Li Ke stopped reconstructing his body, he could still reconstruct his body and break free from the seal of this sword.
"This is really …"
Amazing magic.
Yatoku didn't feel the slightest bit of joy as he sensed the return of his ascender body that he had been separated from for a long time. The empire that he was loyal to, the glory that he insisted on, the people that he loved, and everything that he cherished had all disappeared. He and his other compatriots were living in the disdain and fear of mortals in this world that no longer needed them, and even hated them.
Why was that?
Was it because the Dark Ones drove mortals to kill each other, or was it because of the arrogance of the Dark Ones that didn't treat mortals as humans, or was it because of the deception of the Star Elves that made humans betray their great selves?
None of them.
It was because of greed, desire, arrogance, and the nature of fighting.
He was well aware of the destruction of the Empire. If he had clearly stood on the side of the Empire, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to rebuild it. But when he knew that the destruction of the Empire was due to the arrogance of an Emperor, he couldn't help but sneer. He felt that even if Azir didn't die in the hands of his good friend, he would still be deserted by everyone and cause the Empire to collapse.
And since he didn't want to save the Empire and didn't care about slaughtering mortals, why did he try so hard to revive himself and recreate the body of an Ascender?
"Lonely."
When Sertakar died, Yatokus felt his loneliness. His strength gave him a high status, but it also made him a lonely person. The remaining Shurima Monarch did not have Sertakar's heart and mind. Even if the empire was Sertakar's blood, sweat, and tears, he had lost most of his motivation. He had wanted to die a long time ago, not only because of the boundless darkness and imprisonment, but also because this world could no longer accommodate him. He had nowhere to go. There was no place that belonged to him or had him.
And in this world, after Sertakar, no one else was worthy of being his friend, someone who could fill the gap in his life. Therefore, regardless of whether it was killing or anything else, he only wanted to die so that he could be free from the boundless imprisonment and pain.
"Am I crying?"
He touched his face with his hand and felt the bone-deep tear stains. A long time ago, he wasn't like this, but every time he shed tears, he would remember it in his heart. Then, no matter which body he was in, his face would be engraved by the scorching tears. And this time, why did he cry? Last time, why did he cry?
Yatoku couldn't remember clearly. He remembered that he hadn't shed any tears, but the tear stains on his face and the wet substance that kept burning his fingers constantly reminded him of the past that he didn't want to recall. It reminded him of the past that he didn't want to remember.
But at this moment, a gorgeous meteor suddenly appeared in the blue sky. A burning flame kept rushing towards Yatokus, but it didn't. When the meteor fell, a strong earthquake occurred in the nearby desert. Countless smoke and dust rose into the air, blocking Sarah's vision. She was still unwilling to escape, so she finally fell silent. She no longer struggled to run towards Li Ke.
Seeing this falling object, Yatokus couldn't help but smile. He slowly stood up. The two light beams on his body converged slightly, but they didn't disappear completely. This meant that his fusion wasn't complete yet. Li Ke was still molding his body into an ascender. Although he still looked like a Dark-Kin on the outside, the innermost part of his body had undergone unprecedented changes because of this person's magic.
When the Sword Demon stood up, the sand and dust in the sky began to dissipate. In front of Yatokus stood a man wearing a helmet surrounded by sparks. He held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. He had strong muscles and a strong body, but in terms of body size, he was much shorter than Yatokus. However, the words that came out of his mouth were quite rude.
"How many times do I have to kill you before I can clean up you and your Dark-Kin compatriots?!"
The deep male voice made Yatoku laugh heartily. His wild laughter made the warrior realize that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but frown. He couldn't understand what Yatoku was trying to do.
"Are you crazy? Yatokus! "
However, what greeted him was Yatoku's signature laughter. When the newcomer was about to make a move, Yatoku pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes.
"Of course, of course I'm crazy."
He didn't hesitate to admit Hanson's sarcasm, then picked up his body and got into a fighting posture.
"Otherwise, why would I want to destroy the world? Hanson … Oh, I forgot, Hanson has been killed by me. How about it? Do you want me to call you the great Hanson? "
He wasn't stingy with his sarcasm, but the former Hanson, who was now Atris, didn't care about such a little bit of sarcasm. He only knew one thing now.
"Are you done with your nonsense?!"
He lifted his shield and rushed towards Yatokus.
"Die!"
