Chapter 166 Extra - Epilogue
-Talk later-
Saint Sindra died on the seventh day.
It can't be called death. His body looked like it was asleep. Apart from being a little pale due to the loss of his holy blood, it was no different from a living person.
It floats in the golden holy pool, with no one approaching and no signs of decay.
The plague was completely driven away on the seventh day.
The Divine Court later called it the "Holy Seven Days".
That was a true miracle that no one could fault. The prestige of the Divine Court even surpassed that of the royal family and the nobility.
But the holy city is closed.
Three days ago,
"Lord Sindra left a will," Jira opened the paper Sindra had given him three months ago, "from now on, the Divine Court will no longer open its doors to the royal family and nobles."
"Believers of the Father should stay away from worldly power. The Father is for everyone and for order."
"The light of the Father will shine upon every believer."
"...Similarly, the Saint has left eternal blessings for the Divine Court."
"For every believer who enters the Divine Court, the faith torture will automatically take effect."
Jira glanced at everyone, "There will be no more saints in the Divine Court."
"Saint Sindra will live here forever."
With tears in his eyes, he looked at the person with closed eyes in the holy pool.
Then a figure appeared in the water.
No one reacted and just when they thought it was someone who was causing trouble, they all saw his face.
It was a face exactly like Sindra's.
There is no difference in hair color or facial features.
But his eyes were bloodshot, and he stood in the holy pool, hugging Sindra's body tightly.
His mouth was open as if he was saying something, and his silent grief shocked everyone.
…
They were Sindra's relatives, or brothers.
Then Sindra's eyes opened a little, then closed again -
Sawyers held him close to his chest.
"We'll see you in the future."
Sawyers heard Sindra tell him this.
But how far into the future is that?
...Why did my dear brother die?
Even in such a tragic way.
It was obviously him that Ansar should hate, so why did his younger brother have to bear all this?
Sawyers carried Sindra and walked out of the holy pool step by step. People around him stopped him as if they wanted to say something, but seeing his expression, they didn't dare to speak.
"Lord Sawyers, this is the Saint's own choice."
Lemonsis stepped out from the crowd.
He was blind in one eye, and Nirgara was with him.
Sawyers looked at them expressionlessly.
"You piece of shit, I didn't give you to him just to watch him die."
Nilgara's expression suddenly turned pale, and he fell to the ground, not knowing what to say.
In just a moment, Remonsis was pushed away by him.
"…Humanity doesn't need to exist at all."
Sawyers held the person in his arms tightly and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone heard what he said.
But no one dared to speak.
A week later, Emperor III died in his bedroom. His body was covered with cuts, and his blood flowed out of the wounds bit by bit. Once the blood coagulated, it would be cut open again. For the whole night, no guards or servants discovered it.
It was not until the next day when the attendants went to wake up the emperor that they discovered the tragic situation.
The emperor's bed was dyed entirely red, and his face was filled with fear.
Then came some nobles, some ministers, and everyone who had anything to do with that unspeakable plague, all of whom died in such a tragic way that their blood was drained out.
The people in the Divine Court know best why.
That was how Saint Sindra died—someone was avenging him.
And that person is probably the saint's brother.
Then the sea began to become violent, and it became difficult for all ships to sail in the sea. Tsunamis began to occur frequently, and it seemed that the crust on the seabed was moving at all times.
Cities one after another were destroyed by the invasion of sea water, and humans did not understand why this sudden natural disaster happened.
But everyone thought of "divine punishment".
The people did not know the source of the plague, but many nobles did.
That was created by His Majesty the Emperor in order to weaken the power of the Divine Court—
So after the saints in the divine court purified the plague, "God" also brought down divine punishment.
Thus began the disaster for mankind.
Three years later, when half of the land had been swallowed by the ocean and the entire world had become islands, Ansar finally appeared before Sawyers.
"...Sawyers, are the changes in the sea related to you?"
Sawyers returned to his mermaid form and sat on an island. Behind him was a crystal coffin with Sindra lying peacefully inside.
He looked at the newcomer with an expression neither sad nor happy.
"Ansar, you finally showed up. I thought you would only show up when the sea had swallowed up all the land."
Ansar doesn't look very good. He is essentially a terrestrial tree. No matter how much he likes water, he can't live in water.
"Why... did you force my brother to death?"
Ansar seemed to want to say something in rebuttal but couldn't.
Until Sawyers grabbed him by the neck.
He didn't look like he wanted to resist at all.
"Although it sounds like my excuse, I was deceived."
He said with some difficulty.
"A [god] found me... He told me that you brothers, especially your younger brother, will destroy the world."
"absurd!"
Sawyers threw him out, and Ansar was embedded in the ground, and then Sawyers' hand pierced his chest.
"He... showed me some images that made me believe this."
Ansar coughed twice.
"But I only now realize that what He showed me was... what happened after Sindra's death."
"Right now."
"You are the one who destroyed the world."
He smiled bitterly.
"...Sindras died, so you became like this."
"Is that all you wanted to say?"
Sawyers looked down at him, his hand buried in his chest already squeezing his core.
“No, He revealed some of it to me.”
"...That means Syndra doesn't exist in this world."
"That's why I believe in Him. Sindra came for you. He told me that Sindra comes from another, higher-dimensional world, which is His world."
"Our world is nothing but their toy."
"Sindra is a sinner from that world. He committed unforgivable sins... and He is here to hunt him down and protect our world."
"Sindra's death wasn't a true death, so in order to make her truly dead, He asked me to cooperate with Him in designing a series of coincidences, including the black-clad man beside Sindra, Sindra's energy, and Sindra's death..."
Ansar felt his life slowly slipping away in Sawyers' hands. It was as if there was an erupting volcano inside Sawyers' body. He was angry, and this anger could burn the whole world to ashes.
"But now it seems that He just wants to kill Sindra. Even the things He told me about Sindra might not be true. He... [God] doesn't care about this world at all."
He covered his face.
"I'm just a businessman, and I don't want to be the culprit who destroys the world - so I came to you to admit that I was deceived."
He looked at Sawyers.
"If there's one person who can save Sindra, it's you."
"Sawyers, my dear nephew, I don't know if you have any attachment to this world, but if it were your brother... he would definitely not want you to become like this."
Through Ansar's eyes, Sawyers saw himself in his current state.
His eyes had turned completely red.
It was the color of blood and fire, burning in his eyes.
He then pulled his hand out of Ansar's chest.
"...Then give me your gem."
He said to Ansar, and then Ansar's eyes became dull.
Sawyers saw everything from his memory.
...Including the [Eyes] that Syndra once mentioned briefly.
It turns out that his younger brother was discovered from that time.
If he could care more about his younger brother, wouldn't his younger brother have stepped into the trap of God step by step?
Sindra said she came from five thousand years later——
This means that after five thousand years, I may have finally found a way to wake him up.
Also found a way to escape from this world and go to a higher dimension - to my brother's world?
=====================
Overlapping space,
“…The space began to collapse.”
Shi Qing looked at the sky and said,
"Sangsang died according to her predetermined fate—"
The vines of the rose head began to wave, and the cracks in the surrounding space became larger and larger, until a vast ocean of nothingness and a tree so large that its boundaries could not be seen appeared in front of the two people.
There is a hollow hole in the middle of the tree, and a crystal coffin is placed inside.
A pale mermaid sat next to the crystal coffin.
That was the adult Sawyers, he looked to be in his twenties now, his eyes were blood red, his tail was about three meters long, he was sitting beside the crystal coffin with a blank expression.
Sawyers looked at Shi Qing and Rosehead.
"...My brother still hasn't come back. He died again."
"He never had a desire to stay."
"...Our bet with Order has failed." Shi Qing hovered in front of him, "Then being number one in the overlapping space is meaningless."
"As long as Sangsang can come out alive this time, he can get the 'wish' for first place." The petals of the rose head floated in the water, and his tone was full of unwillingness.
"What's the problem?"
Sawyers placed his hand on the trunk.
Suddenly he became furious, the entire sea began to surge, and invisible energy began to spread.
"My memory has been altered—my brother was forced to death."
"This time, he didn't die for 'me', nor did he pull out his spine—"
Sawyers looked at Shi Qing and Rosehead.
"It's a god from another world."
"...In our past, nothing like this has ever happened."
His hair entangled Rose Head and Shi Qing.
"Sangsang is still alive. We have to go save him."
The two people merged into his body, and the entire sea began to shake violently. Sawyers swam back to the tree hole. He put the crystal coffin into his own space and then looked at the huge tree.
This is the true body of Ansar. Thousands of years after Sindra's death, Sawyers combined Ansar's true body with Asu Yue's immortality and used it as a base to construct a huge overlapping space.
In their former world, there was no interference from foreign gods. Sindra was forced to commit suicide by the royal family and was cut into several pieces by refugees. His flesh and blood were eaten and his spine was made into a holy vessel.
Then Sawyers sank the entire continent to the bottom of the ocean.
Nirgara cursed himself and turned black, then entered an endless cycle of reincarnation, waiting for the return of the Son of God.
In that world, everything would be different—
Sindra could have survived safely.
Even his "heartthrob" physique was reversed by Sawyers.
As long as he survives that constructed world, his points will be first.
He can also gain the wish for overlapping spaces.
He could then be truly resurrected and stay with Sawyers forever.
This is the resurrection Sawyers has been planning for five thousand years.
…but everything has changed.
He tore the world apart.
His bet with [Order] no longer mattered.
——He wants to save his brother, no matter who he is or where he comes from.
The space was torn apart and he disappeared into the sea.
And then... silence.
