Chapter 133 Yongxin and Yian
I remember.
I remember everything...
The memories that Gerard had been chasing for ten years all came back to him at this moment.
"Why..." he whispered, "is this happening?"
"It seems that you finally remembered, father." Yongxin pointed at his own mutilated face and smiled. "As for why you asked... do you really not know? This is... the price."
Jellal's pupils narrowed slightly: "Price?"
"Now that you have that eye, you should know clearly what the 'price' is, right?" Yong Xin said softly, "Outsiders can indeed use Visas' power, but it's not for nothing. If you want to get something, you must pay for it first. You asked me not to die, and I really wouldn't die, but you said you would come back to save me. Your obsession, your memory..."
He paused.
"It can only be taken away as a price, and then you will be trapped forever in the place you always wanted to return to."
Hearing Yongxin say this, Gerard clenched his fist tighter and tighter, and the veins on the back of his fist popped out.
He is angry.
But the point of anger lies with himself.
How could he forget?
How could he forget?!
How could he forget his mission, how could he forget that his son was still waiting for him!
Gerard's huge psychological fluctuations were naturally felt by Bai Wei.
To be honest, Bai Wei didn't expect the truth to be like this.
The [Domination] on Yongxin was actually given to him by Jellal, and Jellal lost part of his memory because of the price of domination... To be precise, it was not the memory, but the soul, but those memories were stored in the soul.
Bai Wei naturally also saw the spirit that suddenly walked towards Gerard.
That part of Jellal's soul has been wandering in the polluted land all the time and has not been able to get out for all these years, just like Jellal outside has never been able to find the truth of that year.
But now, this lost part of the soul has returned.
If Bai Wei guessed correctly, it should be related to his "summoning of spirits" the day before yesterday. He made the entire abyss much closer to Tianqin, and perhaps it was at that time that the impact occurred.
Jellal's memories and obsession finally caught up with him.
Although Bai Wei didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Because he found that Gerard's hand holding the sword was already shaking. Just now, when he swung the sword towards Yongxin, he did not hesitate.
But Bai Wei didn't say anything, just watched.
After taking a few deep breaths, Jellal gradually calmed down. He looked up at Yongxin and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "So what happened next?"
"And then I survived." Yong Xin was still smiling, "Father, do you know how powerful the power of Domination is?"
He picked up a piece of his own meat from the ground and showed it to Gerard.
"You should know what will happen if you stay in the polluted land for a long time." Yong Xin said, "My flesh, bones, and even my brain are rotting. I should have been like those pioneers who sleep forever in the polluted land, with my whole body disintegrating and rotting, and then becoming part of the polluted land, but you won't let me die, or rather, [Domination] won't let me die. So it keeps forcing various parts of my body to return to normal, and then... work normally."
He loosened his hand, and the flesh and blood immediately flew back to the broken cheek, making the whole face complete again.
"This is [Domination]." Yong Xin said softly, "It won't let me die. Nothing in this world can kill me, not even the polluted land. So I survived and... eventually returned to Tianqin."
Jellal looked Young-shin in the eye, “Then why don’t you come to me.”
Yongxin laughed again: "Father, have you forgotten that in a polluted land, it's not just the body that rots. For every person who gets lost in a polluted land, isn't it the spirit that rots first?"
Gerald's heart trembled.
"My body couldn't die, but my spirit..." Yongxin tapped his temple with his fingers, "was always being attacked and tortured. I was almost going crazy at that time, and even wanted to commit suicide immediately, but..."
Yongxin paused, then looked at Jellal again.
"As I said before, if you don't let me die, then I can't even kill myself."
The moment Yongxin finished speaking, he suddenly became furious and inserted his finger into his temple with a "puff".
The pure white "blood" just overflowed, but Yongxin still kept smiling.
“Just like now.”
This picture is a bit weird and scary.
But in Gerard's eyes, there was only... heartache.
Because he knew too well the feeling Yongxin described.
But he did not lose his mind because of this, and still looked at Yongxin coldly: "What does this have to do with you not coming to see me?"
Yongxin sighed softly: "Don't you understand yet? Father, after suffering day after day, I finally understood what I wanted."
"What do you want?" Gerald asked subconsciously.
Yong Xin did not answer immediately, but slowly stood up, spread his hands towards Gerard, and then said word by word: "New student."
"newborn?"
"Yes, I don't want to live like this anymore. Living like this can only bring me endless pain." Yongxin said lightly, "So I long for a new life. I want to abandon this body that should have rotted long ago. I want to be reborn. I want to be truly...reborn. Tianqin can't help me with these. Only Zhuxinhui can help me. That's why I changed my name to... Yongxin. I just want to live again and end my current pain."
He paused.
"So father, are you going to stop me?"
"You made me what I am now."
"And now, are you going to watch me and let me live like this forever?"
Gerard said nothing.
But even Bai Wei could feel that his body was trembling slightly.
It's really a knife that doesn't shed blood.
Bai Wei thought.
Then, he heard Gerard say softly: "No, I won't just watch. Since all this is caused by me, I will take the responsibility."
Hearing this, a smile gradually appeared on Yongxin's face again.
But the next second, the roar of the chainsaw sword rang out.
Yongxin's body was split into two again.
"I will send you to hell with my own hands." Gerard said coldly, "And don't call me father. I am sure... you are not Ian."
A heavy sigh.
"You finally figured it out."
This time, Yongxin did not rush to put the body together, but just separated it like this, and then pulled out several pieces of bones from the body.
Those bones were inlaid with metal.
"Ian was the same back then. He wanted to kill me at all costs, and even inserted these blades into my bones, hoping to prevent rebirth." Yongxin smiled faintly, "But he failed, just like you today. I killed him, and today I will... kill you."
After saying that, Yongxin rushed towards Gerard with a roar.
To be precise, it was various parts of Yongxin that rushed towards Jellal with a roar, like a killing puppet with its body separated into pieces, using each part to attack Jellal in different directions.
And Gerard certainly wouldn't just watch.
He directly activated [Overload]. Although the prosthetic limbs perfected by Ju could not fully exert the effect of [Overload] and were at most just a youth version, it was enough to deal with the current attack.
Jellal swung the seemingly heavy chainsword as deftly as a branch. He swung the sword continuously, and the chainsword made a whistling sound as it cut through the air.
Then there were several crisp sounds and sparks, and the bones were shattered and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
But it didn't have much effect, as they soon recovered and attacked Gerald again.
Just as Yongxin said.
The separated flesh and blood will reunite, and the broken bones will reconnect.
He is immortal and no one can kill him.
"What should I do?"
Gerald asked Bai Wei in his heart.
"There are two ways." Bai Wei said calmly, "The first one is my eyes."
"With your eyes?"
"Yes." Bai Wei said, "You should not have forgotten the rules of my eyes, right?"
Gerard certainly didn't forget.
When facing the assistant named Trel in the fourth district tower, Jellal had seen the true power of Bai Wei's eye.
If something cannot be killed, should we just wipe it out?
This is indeed a very good idea.
The only thing that can fight against rules is rules.
"But I don't recommend using this method." Bai Wei's voice sounded again, "Because this guy is not an ordinary person. He will die if certain body parts are erased. According to my observation, even if this thing only has one finger left, it will not die completely. It may become a jumping and depraved monster."
...A weird thing that jumps around and tempts people to depravity?
Gerard felt that this sentence sounded a little strange, but he had no way of thinking about it because Yongxin's attack on him was becoming more and more difficult.
Although the chainsaw sword in his hand was enough to cut off all parts of Yongxin, the severed parts would either be glued together again or split into two parts and attack Jellal again, so he could not finish it.
With this going on, even if Jellal had the blessing of [Overload], he wouldn't be able to hold on forever.
"So if you want to use your eyes, you can only erase all his parts, which is very troublesome, and your body will have a hard time holding up." Bai Wei said slowly, "So, I suggest using another method."
Gerard was a little annoyed. He didn't know why Bai Wei spoke so slowly, as if he was worried about something.
And at this moment, a rib had already moved around the blind spot of Jellal's vision, and then stabbed towards Jellal's head with a whistling sound that cut through the air.
By the time Gerard noticed it, it was almost right in front of him.
But at this moment, a fast black shadow passed by and knocked the rib away before Jellal could react.
Gerard was stunned. He turned around and saw that the shadow that resolved the attack was actually...
Yongxin’s right hand.
...What's going on?
Yongxin's body is blocking another part of the body?
After a trance, Gerald thought of something.
His eyes widened in disbelief, but he still yelled at the arm: "Ian!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more flesh and blood rushed to the arm, quickly submerging it, and then reassembled into Yongxin's appearance.
"Ah, you finally found out." Yong Xin said with a faint smile, "Yes, your son is still alive."
At this moment, Jellal finally couldn't stay calm like before. His eyes widened, his eyeballs were full of bloodshot, and his intense breathing even drowned out the roar of the [Overload] state!
"What did you do to him?!"
"Huh? What do you mean I did something to him?" Yong Xin tilted his head, and then slowly raised his right hand. Gerald saw that his right hand was trembling constantly. "I didn't do anything. He just wanted to kill me, but failed."
He paused, and then a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
"You know what? He and I should have been the closest people. After you left him alone in that place, he had no one to rely on, and suffered the pain brought by the pollution every day, and the burden of his body being decomposed and reassembled. But even so, he was unwilling to go back and see you, precisely because... he was aware of my existence."
"Yeah, he knew that he was... well, according to your words, contaminated. He thought I was dangerous, so he didn't want me to go back no matter what."
"During that time, he tried various methods to stop me, such as killing me directly at the soul level. But how is that possible? The Contaminated Land is my home ground. I have endless power, while he has nothing."
"He also tried to kill himself, but as I said before, [Domination]... or in other words, you didn't let him die. So, even if he dug out his heart, chopped off his head, and chopped off his limbs, it would be useless. His body would just reassemble itself again and again. Even if he filled his body with steel, it would be useless."
"So in the end, I won, and he...lost."
Gerard clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were about to pierce his flesh.
"Finally, I returned here as 'Yongxin'." Yongxin spread out his right hand to block his eyes, "And this is all that's left of him... To be honest, I'm not sure whether he's still alive or just a trace of regret, but I'm more inclined to believe that he's still alive."
"And the person who brought him to this end..."
In Jellal's trembling pupils, Yongxin's smile was growing bigger and bigger.
"That's you, Gerald."
At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed outside the house, illuminating the entire lobby in a pale white.
After a few seconds, the rumbling thunder came slowly, but it seemed to explode in Jellal's heart, causing Jellal's body to shake constantly, as if he was about to fall down in the next second.
But he used his sword to support his body and did not fall down.
Then, he spoke slowly, as if he was talking to Yongxin, or as if he was talking to another person: "What is the other method?"
Bai Wei's voice slowly echoed in his heart.
"I'll take the [Domination] from him and let you use it once more... but you can only use it once."
"You should understand what I mean."
