I, Lord of the End

2022-01-24

Chapter 18, accept the apocalypse and become the eternal choice!

“Traveler~Traveler~” The voice was neither old nor young, a very thick baritone with echoes.

Sid froze.

That was the voice of his father in his previous life!

“Come, come to my side, come~” the voice at the end of the rays of light continued.

Sid twitched the corners of his mouth. He is now dying in a hoodie. No one can save him in the wilderness. All his teammates are dead.

The Grail of Guilty spun to his side: “Touch me.”

Sid’s face twitched as the cold wind of Julian’s mountain range blew across his face. His face penetrated into his bones along the wound on his chest, and it was a sharp pain like a knife.

My body is getting colder, sleepiness rises in the mind.

The white-haired beauty decides to seize the last hope.

Little by little, little by little, Sid’s entire face was all wrinkled, with infinite hope for life, he still touched it, his fingers first touched the Holy Grail of Nightmare, then It was the knuckles, and finally, he held the golden cup completely in his hand.

All pain is gone.

Sid felt that his consciousness returned to the principality of the wolf, to the manor of his adoptive parents, the young children ran across the fields, he reached out and brushed the wheat waves, and the golden ocean was fragrant with soil and grain .

It was home, and Sid was breathing hard, dazed and awake.

“Wake up.”

By the time Sid opened his eyes, the world had changed.

He found that he was in the realm of deep space, the endless and vast universe was around him, and beside him was a bright galactic light, composed of countless stars and nebulae. Star River, which divides the void into two sections.

In front of him was a giant halo that covered nearly all line of sight.

It was a planet-level entity composed of blurred countless threads of light, on top of the threads counted in billions, the text moved around the central halo, between the stars and the firmament. The circle of dreams at the top slowly rotates.

Time and space in this brief moment are created, frozen, circulated, annihilated, reborn.

Beneath the ring, countless and indescribable creatures are sleeping, and the sight of any mortal below Legendary is enough to go into complete madness.

Sid has seen those things in the elder sister’s book, they are called Immemorial entities, they are the ultimate creatures, and the Holy Throne Supreme is unmatched.

Since the Immemorial entity is sleeping here, it is clear that this is…

“Travelers, humans from Earth.” The voice came from the bright spot in the center of the ring: “I am Watching you.”

“You’re watching me, and you’re just watching me.” Sid didn’t know who the other was, he spread his hands and said with a bitter smile: “As you can see, you Summon me at this time, are you helping me to think about the epitaph?”

“Your journey is of great significance, since you were born, I have been watching you.” The ring did not answer Sid Question: “You’ve been through a lot, so I think, it’s about time.”

“When?” Sid indifferent: “summon what’s the point of me coming here? Tell me you can go in peace. ?”

The Star Sea shines, the Milky Way shines, and the ring reflects the original light, the power of creation.

That was the first ray of light in the universe.

Seeing that Sid didn’t cooperate very well, the ring’s attitude changed slightly: “Death is just a metaphysical concept, I can erase this concept, when the universe ushered in heat death, even if everything It’s all coming to an end, it’s just a brief darkness before the next era, and I’m calling you now, because you seek answers, and I offer options.”

“Answer? What answer do you have? I How to choose? None of these matters, what matters is that I must survive.” Sid simply expressed his appeal: “Can you let me survive?”

“Of course.” The ring’s words are short and to the point: “You only need to drink the Grail to continue your life, but until you make a choice, your soul will not leave this space, where the laws of physics, time, and nature are all Pointless concept.”

“I hate that choice.”

“Like it, dislike it, it’s your morals, and for me, that reaction It’s very strange that the decisions I make don’t depend on your moral values, that’s how you feel in biological form.” The ring’s voice was always without any emotion: “As I use your memory Your ethic will tend to be more trustworthy as your father’s voice calls you.”

“You read my memory? You’re a bastard!” Sid felt offended, and he cursed indignantly. , the expression on his face is not much anger, but more unwilling and indifferent.

Before this supreme existence, he was too small.

“From your memory, you know that most of your hobby has no value, you have a lot of thoughts and few actions, you dedicate most of your time to a group, but the other party does not Do you justice in the way you wish, you have a strong reproductive instinct, but it is very suppressed for financial reasons and physical reasons.”

“In addition to these, you also have dreams and blueprints , the most valuable part of your memory is the reflection on social relations, civilized exchanges and predecessors and successors, in which you have gained a little, but you have not advanced.”

“I To live, I have to survive.” Sid sneered, pointing to himself: “I need to eat enough and pay off the loan.”

“This is the tragedy of living beings, unable to create and think for a long time. , too much of their time is spent on meaningless repetitive behavior.” The ring affirms Sid’s words: “You always want a longer lifespan, but valuable time does not equal lifespan, and many people don’t really Live a day.”

“The value in your mouth is very different from mine, I don’t think there is any need for us to communicate.” Sid sighed, he spread his hands with a rotten expression on his face, his body Leaning back, his demeanor gradually relaxed.

“Correct.”

“Okay, what choice do I need to make?” Sid doesn’t want to talk about himself anymore, he knows that everything about himself is seen through by the existence in front of him, he has A sense of powerlessness and nakedness.

What is this ring?

In front of this supreme existence, he has no secrets: “This is the reason why I cross?”

“I have many names in many mortals, and mortals fear me but yearn for me Approaching me, most of the time they are willing to call me ‘True God’, many people come to me in various ways and make a humble wish, I only satisfy worthy people, and only you come by accepting summon.” The ring’s voice echoed among the stars, and the stars went on and off with his voice.

“Where are you from?”

“No comment.”

“What is your purpose?”

“ exist, and record valuable information, back it up and save it, connecting different eras.” The ring said: “All matter will eventually die, and information will last forever.”

“Why me?” Sid He asked: “Did you choose me? Let me pass through?”

“No, that was an accident…a very interesting accident, but it doesn’t affect the choice.” The ring’s voice was full of After a little emotion, Sid thinks that this is probably a kind of excitement about new things, but he is not sure, so he can only continue to listen to the ring: “About five thousand years ago, someone came to me and asked for my gift. , and made a promise, and I told him that I could give him the gift, but only at a sufficient price to repay it in the future.”

“He agreed to my terms and benefited from my gift. , he foolishly thought that he could pay this price, or that he could avoid this price in some way.” Ring lightly said: “It is true to his knowledge, but the price is beyond what he can imagine, and he can’t pay it. I can’t escape.”

“So, what’s the price?” Sid had a bad premonition.

“Everything.” The ring’s voice was vague and close to my ears.

“Everything means…” Sid’s ominous foreboding grew stronger.

“The time of your world will end.” The ring told Sid a horrific fact: “The First Seal has been lifted, and the golden cup has been given to him.”

” The Golden Cup, the Holy Grail of Sins?!” Sid’s face turned pale, and he muttered to himself, “God, what have I done? I shouldn’t have taken that mission?”

“This The time of the world is coming to an end, it has nothing to do with you, or your world is lucky, before the reckoning, your unexpected arrival delayed the arrival of the reckoning.” The tone of the ring was unwavering: “You are the only one. The accident, very, very valuable information, the established time line has changed, I like this kind of accident.”

My time-travel was an accident that even surprised the supreme existence in front of me?

Sid said with a bitter smile: “I guessed it, can I ask you a question? Since the time of this world is coming to an end, why is it still summoning me? What else can I do? “

“You now have a possible gift, a precious opportunity.” The Ring God sent a simple message to Sid’s mind.

Massive information, lifelong mission.

Seven Seals, Seven Divine Items, Seven Thrones.

The Holy Grail of Sin is one of seven Void Realm Divine Items that represent the power of the God of the Rings now left in the mortal world.

Starting from the Holy Grail of Sinister Nightmare, collect seven lost Void Realm Divine Items, and for each Divine Item collected, Sid must make a choice that affects the fate of the world.

The God of the Ring awaits his choice.

“Can I say no?” Sid looked odd.

“Of course, you can refuse.” The Ring God’s reaction to Sid was not surprising: “But the chance is only this time, traveler, in your world, countless people are willing to pay all the price for their entire lives. To come before me, only for that insignificant gift and power, only a few succeed, and now you have this chance to be rewarded unimaginable by mortals, strength is the most precious thing to mortals, and I am ready to grant You.”

“Indeed.” Sid nodded silently.

Who can refuse a mighty force?

During the dialogue, the identity of the God of the Ring was already revealed, and he did not intend to hide it at all.

This is a world of swords and magic, and Sid needs power too much, in every sense, not to mention that he still has a blood vengeance.

“Unfortunately, you have been noticed.” Sid’s moving appearance was shrouded in the light of the ring god: “You made the sofa Tibetan case by your own cleverness, which greatly improved the detection rate.

It’s possible that Hoffman won’t be the last person to spy on you, it’s only a matter of time before you get discovered.”

“I now understand why he’s spying on me.” Sid snickered, He shook his head again and again: “I thought it was my wrongdoing, but now I know that he is wronged. He is a good husband and father, and I’m sorry for him.”

“There is no similar relationship between the two of you. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Who resurrected…or killed Hoffman?”

“No comment.”

“Can my choices affect the end time?” Sid is still most interested in this: “Postpone, advance, or… block?”

“No comment.”

“Even if I didn’t keep my promise with you?”

“It’s up to you, not me.”

“Since you’re so powerful, why not How about collecting seven Divine Items yourself? With your ability, it’s only a matter of a moment.”

“I only record valuable information.”

“Ha, compared to As a human being, I prefer to deal with you.” Sid was amused: “You are pure.”

“And you need to make pure choices.”

“Yes. “Actually, he simply had no other choice. Sid gave up and continued to think. Anyway, he couldn’t think of any other way.

Why does Sid keep saying he’s screwed?

Because the Raven Knights are all dead.

As a mercenary intermediary, Sid will bear the inescapable responsibility for the death of a whole team of Raven Knights and notarized by the Rizlan intermediary.

In serious cases, he will be hanged on the gallows, and in light cases he will bear huge compensation.

Yes, it can be said that Sid encountered an accident and encountered the devil, and it was the devil who killed these Raven Knights.

So, how to prove it? How do you convince the Raven Knight members that it’s the devil’s hand?

If one or two members survived, Sid might still have a chance to explain the truth, but the fact is that everyone died, in this case, the Raven Knight group is absolutely impossible to suffer from this loss, and all responsibility will be On Sid’s head, they don’t care about the “truth”, that doesn’t matter, what matters is that someone has to be responsible and compensated for their losses.

How much does it cost to keep the Raven Knights happy?

For example, the Knight plate armor of Bauer Old Knight is worth 500 gold ecubit, and the sword and shield is at least 50 gold ecubit, which is more than all the commissions for this commission.

The most conservative estimate is that Sid will pay at least 7,000 gold ecubit in compensation.

Can’t get it? Well, go to the church to sign the contract, return it in installments, sign it for 40 years, and pay 10% annual interest rate. We Raven Knight are innocent, don’t have more, don’t have less.

Sid’s second half of his life will only be spent selling hits for the Knight group, and even so, he may not be able to pay off the huge sum of money.

The mortgage in my previous life was enough, really enough.

Run? Run out of Holy Empire’s sphere of influence?

It’s basically impossible, unless Sid goes to the deep mountains, old forests, grasslands and Gobi to be a savage.

Isn’t that also the end of it?

“Before that, can I ask you a few questions?” Sid said to the god of the ring, wanting to know as much as he could before making a decision.

“There are only three things to do.”

“The first question, if I collect all seven powers, can I still go back to Earth?” Sid still wanted to go back, There is his family, his hometown, and his country, and despite the hardships and injustices he has encountered, he still wants to go back.

“A person cannot be resurrected from the dead.”

“…The second question.” Even though he had a hunch, Sid was still sad: “When I collect all seven powers, What will you do with me?”

“What will you do with me?” The words don’t make sense, the collection of lost powers is a task I give to you, it’s up to you to beg me, complete it one by one to get my bounty, or on a journey If you lose everything you have now, you don’t need to pay extra for it.”

“The last question, many people have come to you in history, and only a few have returned successfully. What is the standard?”

“I only record valuable information.” The Ring God repeated his answer: “The question is over, now tell me your choice, accept or reject? “

“Okay, I accept.” There is really no other choice, the white-haired handsome boy nodded accepted.

“Then, good luck to you.” A supernova exploded in the ring, and the brilliant rays of light that lit up the universe completely engulfed Sid: “From now on, the Holy Grail of Sins will return to its original owner. It is the key to fulfilling your mission, and it will give you the reminder you deserve.”

“I have witnessed too many miracles along the way.” Sid stretched out his hands: “I took this mission, not for you, but for myself!”

“Sid-Boren, Chosen One, from this moment on, you will be the enemy of the world !” Seven rays of light poured into Sid’s body, and at the last second he clenched his hands tightly, and then the light enveloped him through time and space.

“Ouch!” A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Sid found him back at the door of St. Regis Outpost.

The cold wind whistled, Heaven and Earth were vast, and all things were lonely on Julian’s high mountain, the white-haired beautiful boy felt his body state.

He’s cold.

No kidding, it’s really cold.

His body was already cold, the hypothermia made his consciousness blurred, and the wound was still painful.

Yes, Apocalypse, Apocalypse!

The Holy Grail of Sinister Nightmare is at hand, and the filthy liquid in it is rippling back and forth. Even if the Holy Grail of Sinister Nightmare is upside down, the slurry inside does not flow out.

The reflection of Grote’s soul is faintly visible in the cup, and the soul of the mighty Ghost Spirit has melted for the most part. When he sees Sid, he can only beg, beg Sid to let him out, and beg Sid to forgive him: “I beg you. Now, my lord, I am willing to sign a slave contract with you and become your familiar!”

“Tell me what the Holy Grail of Sins is?” Sid said coldly.

“Listen to me, my lord, the Void Realm Divine Grail is a Void Realm Divine Item, which produces a special slurry that can instantly restore about one third to 1/The injury, physical strength and magic power of 4/2022, no one has yet been able to figure out how the slurry is produced.” Grote’s soul was about to melt, and the devil immediately summed it up in the simplest language: “And the most powerful thing is , the user can store the collected soul energy and experience in it, and then can absorb the upgrade! Sir, think about it, with it, you don’t need to accumulate it for a long time!”

“Then Why are you leaving?” Sid asked immediately.

“The Holy Grail of Guilty Nightmare does not last long in one’s hands, and few wielders can hold it for long, because its power is so tempting that the wielder will endure it. The maharaja said it was always looking for its true master.” Grote pleaded, “That’s all I know, the great A-Hima maharaja is always looking for it, and I don’t know anything else. Now! Please, let me out!”

At this point, the devil’s soul had melted over 90%.

“Okay, you’re honest, I’ll keep my promise.” Sid smiled, and he said contentedly, “It’s a pity I don’t know how to let you out, so goodbye, never again. No!”

“You devil!!!” Grote screamed.

“I’ve always wanted to be more devilish than the devil.” Sid taunted: “Thank you for making my wish come true, thank you devil.”

“Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh!”

After more than ten seconds, Grote’s expression gradually became stupid, its last memory disappeared, it forgot everything, until it forgot who it was, and the devil’s soul melted in the cup.

This time the cup is completely full.

“Apocalypse?” Sid played with the cup a few times, knowing that his body was reaching its limit.

The black red turbid slurries in the cup are rippling back and forth, bubbling white smoke, the shapes of countless devils in the steaming smoke are quite discernible, but Sid’s sense of smell, vision, and taste are telling him this. Things are not only delicious, but also life-saving.

No hesitation, drink it, transmigrator.

It is your destiny to fight against the whole world!

Take the Grail of Sinister Nightmare, and Sid drank the slurry.

Well, very fresh and delicious.

At the entrance of the slurry, an unremarkable message crossed the fourth layer God World.

To heaven, the kingdom of Hades.

The god of heaven, the god of the underworld, Osiris, sensed the changes in the world, and he looked to the other side of deep space without speaking for a long time.

The First Seal has been lifted.

“Justice delayed, is it still justice?” Underworld God whispered.

Then the Underworld God once again focused his attention on the souls of the dead. He was obliged to let all souls rest in peace until the moment when everything came to an end.

God World battlefield composed of blood lava.

To God, War God Temple.

The War God Serapis, who is several hundred meters tall, sat on his divine throne and slapped the divine throne hard: “It’s finally started? Good! It’s been more than five thousand years! It’s time to come. .”

Up to the sky, Mount Paradise.

“The First Seal has been unveiled.” Among the infinite rays of light, Jupiter, the Lord of Heaven, stared at a huge white jade monument: “Have you not determined who Chosen One is?”

“My lord, it seems that there are too many targets.” An envoy replied.

“Tell me about Oracle, be sure to find him before the 4th Seal is revealed!”
