The Destiny (I)

At first, no one paid attention to this wave of alienation, thinking it was just an ordinary battle in the cycle.

The king of this generation was of ordinary talent, arrogant, and sensitive. He admired and employed capable people, but was more jealous and suspicious.

"He is the king after all." This is what Ye Jian, the strongest human being, said.

"...In some ways, he is just an ordinary person." This is what a noble said.

When the king was young, he at least had some determination to govern the country. But when he was in his forties or fifties, he had indulged in pleasure and gradually became incompetent.

This is a world that worships personal power. The inheritance of supernatural powers is not entirely related to genes, and there are many civilians with outstanding talents. He turned a blind eye to the increasingly fierce conflicts between nobles and civilians, so many talented children were taken away and became members of the "Azure" cult.

In this alienation wave, many messages were hidden and did not reach the emperor. But in the face of the few words that finally reached him after passing through many levels, he did not take any action.

In response to the alienation disease spreading in the imperial capital, he adopted the incineration measure despite opposition, causing the "Black Snow" incident that spread throughout the imperial capital.

This "stage" plan will strike the last note on his particularly fragile and sensitive nerves.

In front of everyone, taking part in the grand performance at the academy's highest competition stage... would probably make him feel unprecedented fear and uneasiness.

But compared to the safety of the people, he will be more worried about the shaking of royal power.

"Do you hate the king?" At this point, Li Jianxue interrupted him and said, "The king of your year surrounded you with his army, gouged out your eyes, cut off your tongue, and imprisoned you in a deep sea prison. So you have endless malice towards the kings of all generations?"

"If you put it that way... it's true, I do have some negative feelings towards the king." He admitted frankly with a smile on his face despite being touched on the sore spot: "I have a talent for illusion, but I couldn't get into the academy. No one led me on the right path, so I had to grow up quickly and freely... But after being imprisoned in the deep sea, I suddenly sensed God's will. It was He who guided me and brought me to where I am today."

"I will be a lifelong believer in God. Even if I burn myself out, I will let God's light illuminate the blue continent."

“Your faith in Him is based on your own experience?”

"No, everything is arranged by fate. It is the training given to me by God, which allows me to transcend myself and receive true enlightenment."

"..." In fact, Li Jianxue did not feel much loyalty from his words. But the same was true for himself.

"I have a request."

"You say." The leader of the pagans who possessed the believers looked over. His dark pupils were like two eye sockets of a skull, occasionally flashing a hint of green.

He will never forget that day.

That "stage" is filled with humans who have been deformed due to mutations.

No, maybe I can no longer be called a human being...

He was clearly excited about the league in the last second, but saw such a horrifying image in the next second.

He hoped that someone would come out to rescue him, but it was no use. The scene was so chaotic that no one could hear his cries.

As he looked at this in bewilderment, fish scales began to grow on his friend's body very quickly.

In just a few seconds, he became "him".

Under the forced resistance and the military's orders, he stabbed him with a knife.

"Fool……"

Warm blood splattered all over him.

They made an appointment to have barbecue after watching the league.

When the monster's eyes lost their luster, he tried to find a little bit of friend's spirit in them.

He cried bitterly on the spot and heard many other cries of despair and helplessness, just like his.

The oldest family of the empire betrayed the empire. At the same time, countless humans were alienated and their bodies and souls were controlled.

Ah, now that things have come to this, this is no longer an ordinary wave of alienation.

This may be the beginning of human extinction.

“The sea level is rising.”

“Some nearby villages have been swallowed up.”

“Alienation spreads very quickly.”

"Can you figure out how their rituals work?"

*

With railings made of gold and tiles made of glazed tiles, it seems like a dream, a life of extravagance and extravagance.

Li Yuebai woke up every day in his several-meter-long bed, and then got dressed and washed with the help of servants.

They treated him with great respect and called him "Master of the House."

"Yeah, yeah." He held out his hands and let them dress him.

It’s fallen, it’s fallen, it’s fallen!

When he wakes up, there will be someone dedicated to him to read, play, or stroll around with him, etc., to spend an ordinary day. When the outside world is already in war, he indulges in the gentle land and does not notice the passage of time.

"Brother?" He raised his eyes.

When his brother entered his bedroom, he always took off all his protective gear and wore only snow-white underwear.

"I'm going to go out in a while, take care of yourself at home."

"Can I go out?"

"Let's not do it." He lowered his gentle eyes: "It's very chaotic outside, and alienation spreads very quickly. I'm afraid you will get hurt."

You're lying. The trickster had already told him these past few nights that his blood contained the power of God and he wouldn't be infected with the alienation disease at all.

That’s right. After the night of the rebellion, he, who was nominally the head of the family, was taken back to the Li family by his brother to eat, drink and have fun, but in fact—

"Brother, you are completely restricting my personal freedom. I am starting to feel bored staying at home every day."

"Sorry," he apologized quickly, but didn't change his tone: "I'll spend more time with you when I get back, okay?"

He looked tired, with dark circles under his eyes, and seemed to be very busy recently, but when he was at Li's house, he would still take the time to chat with him.

"No, it's boring to talk to you."

"...I will improve it." He seemed serious: "When I go out, I will collect some strange stories. Do you want to hear them?"

"These are useless... Don't you think that doing those things is cruel?" Li Yuebai suddenly asked him: "Why did the Li family rebel?"

He himself has no stance and has no idea about the beginning of the mass extinction. Moreover, because there is a system countdown, he can accept the arrival of the mass extinction plan more than ordinary people.

However, he really didn't expect that his brother, the NPC with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually in the anti-human camp.

"Maybe it's a bit cruel...Once things are settled outside, Yuebai can go out and play. Just wait for brother to try harder, it won't be far away." Li Jianxue didn't explain anything, just said simply.

"Go away and don't bother me." He suddenly treated him badly: "Wait until you die outside, then you can let me out."

The black-haired young man looked at him and said, "Well, if I were to die, I would contact Ye Jian. It would make me feel more at ease if you were with him. He is a good man."

"Huh?" Why did his brother NPC give cards to his current number one enemy? He heard that they were having a hard time fighting.

Li Yuebai laughed, feeling ridiculous.

Li Jianxue stared at his face and smiled: "I'm leaving first, Yuebai."

Not long after he left, Li Yuebai fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, he felt the veil beside his bed fluttering, but because he was so sleepy, he was unable to wake up completely.

The man found the young man's drowsy appearance quite interesting.

He tried to touch his eyes, his face, and slide across his lips.

The young man may have felt itchy, but his eyelashes just moved.

Not awake yet.

He smiled, pointed his finger downwards, and whispered maliciously into his ear, "Master, why don't you get up yet?"

"You?! Ugh..."

"Shhh..." The man smiled and covered his mouth: "Why did you fall asleep? Did you fall asleep while waiting for me?"

"I didn't know you would come today."

"Sorry, I'm late. How have you been recently?" He pinched his face frivolously.

I don't know when they became so close.

"I'm in my own home, what can go wrong?"

The visitor then pretended to sigh: "I know, you look rosy and radiant, and you look a little fatter."

"You are fat."

"To be honest, I think it's pretty good for you to be here. Why did you trigger the mark and call me over? It's still a little difficult to pass through the Li family's barrier." He said lightly.

"It's a good life like this, but I'm being held in soft captivity."

"The head of the family must stay in the family to protect the family." Ye Jian said with a smile: "However, I must strongly condemn this behavior."

Li Yuebai looked at him suspiciously: "...Why do you say the same thing as my brother said before?"

"Your brother?" Ye Jian's expression suddenly turned a little cold: "That guy..."

Is there no cure? He swallowed the last half of the sentence.

Can he really afford the price of recklessly using the power of gods?

Li Yuebai said: "Anyway, is there any way for you to let me go out for a while? I have something I must do."

"It's okay for me to go in and out once by myself, but it's difficult to take you out... What's the matter? Tell me." He held his breath.

His thoughts were turning around at this moment, and for a moment he imagined the scene where his poor sweetheart was imprisoned by the bully brother, and he fought his way in and out of the heavily guarded castle and finally rescued her as a hero.

"Anyway, I have to go out. I've been stuck here for a month and I'm bored to death." Li Yuebai didn't tell the real reason.

“…”

In fact, under the current circumstances, it is safest and most comfortable for him to stay here.

But seeing his irritated face, Ye Jian did not say anything against it. He smiled softly and said, "Since this is your wish, I will try my best to make it come true. But after you get out, you must not regret it, okay?"

"I won't regret it." Li Yuebai immediately vowed.

Of course, he had his reasons for having to get rid of his brother, and it wasn't just because his freedom was restricted or he was bored.

Because after he won the first place in the league that day, he was taken away by his brother just after he finished speaking and had no contact with anyone. A month later, the new card he drew that day has not been activated yet.
