But just as Yatoku was about to leave with his new army, a crimson arrow suddenly shot out from behind him, brushed past his neck, and nailed to the ground in front of him. And the person who was able to shoot an arrow that even he couldn't react to was naturally the Dark Spawn, Verus, whom he had released together with Laast.
"Yatoku, I thought you were freeing another of our brothers, but what did you do? It is because of these things that we were distorted and cursed and became what we are now in the Lost War. Aren't they our enemies? But what are you doing now? Releasing the things we once fought against?! "
Verus' voice was full of anger, and his body was like the other Dark Winged Ones freed by Yatoku. Most of the crimson substance on his body had disappeared, leaving behind their once glorious appearance. And this was the great achievement achieved by Li Ke's power. Not only did it allow the Dark Winged Ones to surpass their former strength, but it also allowed their bodies and minds to recover to a certain extent.
"I once fought against the Void, but now I welcome them."
Facing Verus' questioning, Yatoku just turned around calmly and looked at his brother quietly. Then, he tilted his head and asked his own question.
"But is it his power that affected you? Verus? Don't we want to destroy this world? We want to take revenge on all those who betrayed us and schemed against us. And it is precisely because all the lives in this world abandoned and betrayed us that we ended up in this situation. My brother, our revenge is destined to destroy this world, so … why should we care about who destroyed it? "
Verus was speechless because he was also imprisoned in darkness and despair for countless years like Yatoku, so he naturally understood Yatoku's thoughts. That was to die. They didn't hate their failure too much. They only hated those who sealed them and made them live in darkness and despair for thousands of years. They also hated those people for killing and sealing their brothers and sisters, causing their brothers and sisters to suffer the same kind of torture.
That was why he clearly knew that Yatoku wanted to die, and he wanted to die after killing all his enemies. Although Biatokus had one more sister to tie him down, he had one more purpose to liberate his sister. But in essence, there was no difference. He also yearned for the ultimate destruction, which was the same for almost all Dark Ones. Because they had been tortured and treated like that, their hatred could no longer be alleviated by reason, benevolence, and perseverance. They hated everything in this world, and what they hoped for the most was for the entire world to be destroyed.
Therefore, summoning the Void and using the power of the Void was not a big deal. Any Dark Spawn that had been sealed would not hesitate to do so after gaining a certain level of control over the Void. Because they wanted to destroy the world, it did not matter who destroyed it. All they wanted was revenge, to vent the hatred and anger in their hearts. Morality and whatnot had long been thrown away in the civil war between the ascenders. They did not care that it was actually the void that caused all of this.
However …
Li Ke's power broke this inevitability.
At first, Verus and the others could not understand why Yatoku had become so timid and even liked to waste time talking to mortals. But when they shared Li Ke's power from Yatoku and used it to restore a part of their true bodies, their frantic and angry souls were partially restored. Their former morality, nobility, and emotions were restored, and they returned to their normal selves. They were no longer controlled by the power of anger and hatred in their bodies, and could clearly feel their 'sobriety'.
"Yes, everything we had was destroyed a long time ago, wasn't it? The mortals betrayed us because they felt that they no longer needed us. They regarded us as things that should be abandoned and tortured us for almost eternity. Although this allowed us to obtain a true immortal body, I'm afraid that no one would choose to forgive that kind of torture, right? "
Yatoku also spoke at this time. He, who had restored some of his original appearance, was a rather handsome Dark-Kin. Although his temperament was not as good as Yatoku's, it was enough to remind Verus of how gentle and kind this brother of his was in the beginning of Shurima. It must be known that Yatoku used the scythe because he liked it, and also because he wanted to tell the people who respected him that no matter what they were holding in their hands, as long as they were willing to fight and protect their home, the weapon in their hands was the most powerful weapon in the world.
However, such a gentle warrior had become a butcher who loved to burrow into the bodies of mortals and break out of them. His body was covered in blood and minced flesh, and he used his scythe to harvest the lives of mortals like harvesting wheat.
What he said was the truth. It was precisely because the mortals could not resist the crazy slaughter of the 'Dark-Kin' that they joined forces to fight against the people who had once led them and protected them. But they were Dark-Kin, and unless they killed each other, it was almost impossible for them to be killed by mortals. That was why the mortals used their own lives to incite a war between them, and in the end, they used their own lives to seal the Dark-Kin who were almost impossible to kill.
Verus clearly remembered his first host. She was a queen who ruled half of the continent. She didn't let anyone else hold it for her. Instead, she voluntarily picked up the bow that sealed her when she knew that her soul, flesh, and blood would be devoured by him. After defeating several other Dark-Kin, she willingly jumped into the well of seals and used everything she had to seal herself.
Before he obtained Li Ke's power, he only felt that this person was extremely lowly and abominable, a bastard who disobeyed his superiors. But after reconstructing his body, he realized the greatness of this woman. He suddenly recalled that if this woman appeared before the Eagle King Azir, there was a high chance that she would also participate in the ascension ceremony. In other words, there was a high chance that she would become one of his compatriots.
"That's why we deserve to be sealed. We deserve to be punished like this. We deserve to be destroyed."
For the first time in thousands of years, Verus clearly felt this thought. He also vaguely sensed that his other brothers were probably having the same thought. But he didn't have the intention to point it out because no one would admit or acknowledge it. Even he himself wouldn't acknowledge this saying. He wouldn't really stop seeking revenge because the torture and betrayal they received were real. They were indeed betrayed by the entire world, so they would never give up on revenge.
