Chapter 1280: The God-killing Plot
"I've become a frontline inspector. This means I could die at any time... Due to my stupidity, this sudden death could happen on the second day, the third day, or every day thereafter. As long as I complete every mission diligently, this day will come sooner or later.
"There are no inspectors who aren't responsible for handling dangerous matters. If the inspectors don't do it, are ordinary people supposed to handle it themselves? That's impossible. This is the inspectors' duty, and it's our destiny.
"From that moment on, I considered myself a dead person. I was already prepared for death, ready to never come back once I left the dorm."
Haena said, remembering her timidity and determination when she went to Moriarty's mansion.
She recalled her time working alongside Aiwass, who was in a wheelchair, at the Pelican Bar.
At that time, she had no fear at all.
It was for this reason that she chose a defense-oriented advanced class, because she wanted to be a shield for her teammates, protecting them from damage.
...But why did she become timid after that?
The stronger she became, the more cowardly she became.
Could it be that adapting to the path has had an impact on her?
What made her go from a knight who obeyed orders and protected others to an adapter whose first goal was to survive?
...Maybe there is a reason for this, but it is not absolute.
That's probably because Haina has been satisfied.
No one gave her orders anymore, and no one had any expectations of her anymore.
Her parents once hoped that she could make a name for herself, so she tried her best and entered the highest institution of learning in Avalon despite the curse of amber, and became the chief; later, Aiwas hoped that she could protect herself, so when Haina, who had never fought a life-and-death battle, faced an enemy stronger than herself, she did not retreat or run away even with a disabled "burden"; later, in order to realize the hope of her companions to become strong and become the protector of the team, she stepped into the promotion ceremony alone, killed enemies and completed tasks alone, and won victory after victory.
But after that, no one gave her any orders anymore.
She had done well enough and everyone let her go easy on her.
So Haina chose to stop.
She felt that everything in front of her was good enough, and she only hoped to keep it. To this end, she dissuaded her friends from going into danger, tried to save herself when she encountered danger, and felt hesitant and hesitant when facing the challenge of a powerful enemy...
Now, she has a new goal.
There are innocent people who need her protection.
She has another sacred mission to complete.
Compared to that...
"—It's just death, what's the problem?"
Haena said seriously, straightening her back: "No matter whether I can become a pillar god or a king, I have to do the current thing well.
"You need me to be the carrier of Tiansi, right? I—no problem.
"For the sake of justice, I am willing to sacrifice my life for it."
Just like a real knight.
Morgan also widened his eyes slightly.
The determination and boldness in each word are just like Lancelot of the past.
As Haina strengthened her fiery resolve, the shadow of a sword gradually emerged behind her.
Yet, determination was fleeting, like a firework. It burned to its limit only briefly, just as the resonance of the Dao was fleeting. The sword, after nearly consolidating, gradually dissipated...
——But before it completely dissipated, Hui Tiansi grabbed it.
In that instant, the sword took shape.
Haena was startled.
She didn't even realize that there was an inexplicable sword behind her.
"Your mind is too complicated, Haena."
Holding the sword that was constantly taking shape in the chaos, Hui Tiansi slowly said to Haina, "You are not lacking in talent—you have never been an ordinary person. How could an ordinary person easily master so much knowledge? How could an ordinary person have such a talent for the Tao?
"How can an ordinary person become the incarnation of a Heavenly Master? How can an ordinary person be cursed by a Pillar God? You are always unable to stay firm on your path. The reason is simple... It's not because you are too lacking, but because you have too much.
"The former Winged Celestial Being split himself into Great Sage and Supreme Heaven. The former Ring Celestial Being split himself into the Serpent's Head and Tail. The former Eternal Self abandoned himself ten times, leaving only his 'self' before cruelly splitting himself an eleventh time. The former Fallen Celestial Being separated good thoughts from evil thoughts. Aiwass also split himself into the Pope and the Fanatic...
"—How will you divide yourself, Haena? Which parts of yourself will you give up?"
Hui Tiansi, holding the Chaos Sword, asked Haina.
He is like an executioner asking, “Do you know what your crime is?!”
Haena's response was to answer calmly: "I am not guilty."
"Because I don't have the Pillar God I want to be."
“It was like several colleges — I wasn’t happy with any of them,” Haena said. “I could do all those things, and I would have given it my all no matter what. But that wasn’t where I was going.”
But when he heard these words, Hui Tiansi smiled.
"very good."
He said, handing the blade he had shaped to Haena.
"We possess violence, but for the sake of survival; we desire change, but we adhere to order."
Hui Tiansi said slowly: "Don't you think this is just right for you?"
"……I?"
Haina was stunned.
Which pillar god is this? Which source river is this?
How come it’s the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, and the eighth?
Hui Tiansi turned into a beautiful and pure girl.
She extended her hand and placed it affectionately on Haina's shoulder, saying casually, "It's naturally the Thirteenth Source River—I call it 'Justice'. What do you think?"
"...The...Thirteenth?!"
"To be honest, we're next to each other, and I should have ascended to heaven before you. My goal is to become the Pillar God of the Twelfth River Source... It's easier to intertwine with the truth, and that also protects the truth. Do you think lies are better, or fallacies sound better?"
Hui Tiansi said without hesitation.
"Wait, wait..."
Haina's mind was confused. "Aren't there... only nine source rivers? Even if we count the tenth... and even the miracle of Aiwass..."
When she said this, Haina suddenly reacted.
"You understand too."
Hui Tiansi said cheerfully, “That’s it.
"The number of source rivers is constantly increasing, until the unspeakable force binds them and brings about the end.
"—If you truly believe from the bottom of your heart that Aiwass can change everything and save the world... then you should know that after the Holy Eleven, which symbolizes miracles, there will be new possibilities.
"That's the possibility I'm betting on. My friends..."
Gray Tiansi said cheerfully, pointing at Haina, then Hassan and Morgan: "You, and you... We all have the potential to become new Pillar Gods. This world is constantly developing, and the scale of the dream world will continue to expand.
"As long as the apocalypse can be ended, everything will have a good outcome. Everyone will be rewarded according to their merits, and all this will become a great achievement. As long as the apocalypse has not ended, it will only mean dying a little earlier. What is there to fear?"
"...You want us to all perform the Tail Ring?"
Hassan finally understood what Gray Tiansi meant: "Haina and I...both become Tiansi and recreate the battle of the Heaven Punishment?"
It wasn't just about confronting the Abyss—that was just a pretext to draw out the Red of Disaster.
What Gray Sky Master really wants to do is to join forces with all the Sky Masters to kill Red, the Disaster head-on!
Although they are all just celestial officials who have come to the world... they do not have the power of real celestial officials.
——But the Red of Disaster is not the invincible Supreme Heaven!
It seems...it works?
Gray Sky Master said meaningfully, "That's right. Compared to the great achievements I can make in the future, my life is nothing but a worthless bargaining chip. Of course, you can also regard my words as nonsense and lies...
"But even if it's a lie, isn't this possibility worth a try?"
Update completed meow!
Work and rest - begins again - the cycle -
This is the tail ring!
