Ten minutes later.
"Come on, Seti. Thank you, uncles."
The woman finally received the things Li Ke gave her. She even asked her son to bow to Li Ke. Not only did Li Ke give her a bag of rice, he also gave her some old clothes that seemed to have been worn a few times and some cloth that had been bitten by insects. Although these things were not worth much, they were the best for them.
She did not need to worry about Seti's new clothes for the time being. Besides, Seti could eat the candy that he had not eaten for a long time. Therefore, she wanted her son to thank these two great benefactors.
Seti did as he was told. However, Li Ke saw the humiliation and unwillingness hidden in the corners of Seti's eyes as well as his soul that was constantly fluctuating violently. He knew that if possible, this child would never want to see his mother bow down to others because of these things. However, he was sensible enough to know that it was not the time for him to throw a tantrum.
Therefore, what Li Ke sensed was a soul that was constantly holding back its tears and producing hatred.
He held back his tears because he didn't want his mother to worry. His hatred was for his missing father. Unlike his mother, this child despised the so-called balance because of his own experience. To a child, balance was bullshit. His mother wanted to ensure that they could eat their fill and not suffer from the cold. Balance was much more important than anything else.
If they could not even fill their stomachs, how could there be balance? The only thing he knew about balance was to maintain the balance of everyone's posture. Otherwise, it would be easy to be knocked to the ground and then be surrounded by a group of people.
It did not matter if it hurt, but his mother would be angry and sad.
Li Ke saw through the child's naive heart. Especially when Li Ke became interested in him, this child's future was revealed to Li Ke. In the future, this child would no longer be cute, but would become strong and powerful. He was in charge of a huge arena that specialized in fighting and gambling. However, he had never told his mother what he did for a living. He only told his mother that he was running a business so that she would not be worried.
He was notorious for being fierce and cruel. However, when he returned home and his mother wanted to pat his head, he would kneel down without hesitation.
"I really couldn't tell …"
Li Ke retracted his gaze and looked at Sati, who was as cute and delicate as a girl. He couldn't associate Sati with the muscular man he would become in the future. However, Sati's love for his mother and his unwillingness to accept his birth made Li Ke certain that he wasn't mistaken.
Unfortunately, he didn't need his own eyes to know that Sati and his mother wouldn't have a good ending. He could still do this kind of dangerous business when he was young, but once his mother's whereabouts were discovered and his condition deteriorated, it would be the end of him and his mother.
Furthermore, the future Sati wasn't a good person. Killing people was a common occurrence for him, and he had gotten what he wanted. But what Li Ke could see was only a possible future, so the child's fate would not be what he saw in the end.
After watching the mother and son leave, Li Ke looked at the silent Verus and laughed.
"Look, Verus. The pure land of Ionia that you want to preserve is like this. You talk about balance, but what do you get in the end? Slaves. You still have the guts to ask me to maintain Ionia in this state? As expected of the Dark Ones. You're really good at destroying the world. "
Verus shook his head. Li Ke's words were harsh to his ears, and it was also the thing that made him sad.
"I know, I know. The era doesn't need us anymore."
With a heavy sigh, Verus closed his eyes.
The arrow that was shot out would one day land on the ground. Compared to his other companions, being able to die in his homeland was a very good thing. His unfinished ideas would be completed by others. His unfinished business would also be completed by others. The sinners only needed to be judged for their sins. There was no need to worry about anything else.
This world could function normally without anyone. How could the old Gods have the right to control the choice of the new Gods?
"Yatokus received the gift of this land in the form of an exchange. He used your power to transform this land into the original state of Chaos. As a result, he obtained almost endless power. This is also the reason why your power suddenly skyrocketed. It was your power in the first place, not his. He was able to use it because your body became familiar with it during that time. "
Verus slowly said what he had wanted to say for a long time.
"He wasn't an enemy to you. He only wanted to pull down the Gods, those high and mighty Gods who claimed to be righteous. He wanted them to experience the anger and sorrow of us. "
"So he opened the door to the Void World?"
Speaking of this, Li Ke became angry. The Void was very harmful to this world. The current global climate anomaly was caused by him in order to solve the problem of the Void. Until now, there was no good way to fix it. The number of people who died was uncountable. All of this was caused by Yatokus using his power to open the door to the Void World!
Li Ke had always remembered this debt. He was waiting to settle it with Yatokus when he saw him. But at this time, Verus opened his eyes again. His expression became strange, as if he had thought of something incredible.
"No … Li Ke, although it may be unbelievable, what I want to say is that the invasion of the Void … is very likely to be the will of this world."
Verus pursed his lower lip.
"When we received your power, everyone could feel warmth and tolerance. It was this power that awakened our conscience and heart, allowing us to break free from the darkness. But when facing the Void, this feeling remains."
He raised his hand, and a ball of dark purple energy appeared in his hand.
"In the beginning, we were all very curious as to why your power was so effective against the power of the Void, but later on, we all made a bold guess. Your power, the power of the Ascenders, and the power of the Void were all one. Only when the three powers were mixed together would the essence of this power be formed."
At this point, Verus' other hand lit up with the light of the Ascender's power. It was the same as Li Ke's original, colorless magic power.
"When the three powers converged, we seemed to hear a voice. This voice was incomparably grand and vast. It loved this world, whether it was the Void or our world, but it was very troubled and vexed. It wanted the Void to appear in this world and let reality go to the Void. The reason for this is the power we are most proud of …"
Li Ke understood the reason without Verus saying anything.
"The power of the Ascender."
"That's right, the power of the Ascender. We didn't know what it wanted to say. We only knew that it wanted the Void and our world to converge more. At first, I was the same as everyone else. I thought that the strange voice was the voice of the Void, but after being healed by that voice, our thoughts slowly disappeared. Because the Void won't heal your heart, it will only hate and want to devour you."
Verus' eyes became empty and lifeless.
"And that voice also told us that it wanted the stars and the Void to converge, but not converge. Only by doing so could …"
Only by doing so could …
Verus stopped talking and helplessly shook his head.
"The power that came from you in my body can only let me know this much. I don't know the rest, but I'm sure of one thing. Li Ke, you're a man with a mission. I don't know if you know what I'm saying, but I feel that I should tell you this."
"I just think that your brain has been damaged by the power of the Void. What a load of nonsense."
Li Ke shook his head. It wasn't like he didn't have the power of the Dark-Kin and the power of the Void in his body, but he had just tested it and there was no reaction at all. Not to mention any specific information, there wasn't even the slightest sound.
If he really came with a mission, why didn't he, the person with the mission, know anything, but these people who stole his power knew everything?
This was too ridiculous. The person who did this must be a retard.
If there really was such an ambitious existence, the other party definitely wouldn't be such a retard.
"I've told you enough. You should go on your way with peace of mind. But don't worry. Although you're going to die, it's not the time for you to die yet. I need you to do something. I think you'll be very happy."
Li Ke didn't want to say anything more. He extinguished Verus' last hope and punched through Verus' chest. Verus, who didn't have any intention of resisting, grabbed Li Ke's arm and calmly felt Li Ke crush the core that was the source of his life bit by bit. His face finally showed a relieved expression.
"Thank you … But please don't disturb Yatokus. He will … embark on this path of destruction himself."
The moment his heart was crushed, Verus, who relied on the core to survive, disappeared. But Li Ke didn't pull his arm out. Instead, he instilled his power into Verus' body, causing his body to slowly return to the appearance of Verus in his memory. Verus was even more dangerous and crazy.
"The gods shouldn't have discovered my little trick yet. Go, play with them."
Verus stopped talking and shook his head helplessly.
"The power that came from you in my body can only let me know this much. I don't know the rest, but I'm sure of one thing. Li Ke, you're a man with a mission. I don't know if you know everything that I've said, but I think I should tell you this."
"I just think that your brain has been damaged by the power of the Void. What a load of nonsense."

"The gods shouldn't have discovered my little trick yet. Go, play with them."
