Isaiah was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
"you do not know?"
"Yeah, I don't know," Isaiah said. "Or I'm not sure what he can bring to me. Maybe everything, maybe nothing."
"Just because of this uncertainty, it has become like this?"
"Are you laughing at me?"
"No, I'm just laughing at myself." Rocky said with a smile, "It wasn't until now that I realized that all of this was a joke, me, you, and even my ring finger. We are all paying everything for something unknown. But it is very likely that we will get nothing in the end... Yes, nothing."
Rocky turned his gaze from Isaiah to the sky. This would be the real sky.
He murmured in a low voice: "We are all fighting for the remains of a dead person, just to get a little more so-called power. But what is the end of power? What are we fighting for in the end? Wu Mingzhi died, she died to protect this prison, but the gods who created this prison didn't even look at it. What are they doing? What is the meaning of this prison, and what are we fighting for?"
Rocky asked a series of questions, and Isaiah just listened quietly without interrupting. He only smiled after Rocky finished speaking: "Sure enough, people often have more insights and thoughts after walking on the edge of death."
"I am not walking on the edge of death." Rocky said, "I am truly dead. I was killed by you."
"So you should thank me. It's me who made you change."
Rocky looked at Isaiah again: "Do you think I should thank you?"
"That's your business."
"Then thank you." Rocky said, "As a thank you, I advise you to turn back. There is really no need for us to risk everything for that unknown thing."
"I said, I won't look back."
"Oh... I know that too." Rocky said, "Your sunk costs are too high. Too many people have sacrificed for you. If you turn back now, you will be letting them down."
"That's not the reason."
"Why is that?"
Isaiah did not answer Rocky's question immediately, but said: "You seem to think that you have seen through the truth of the world after experiencing death. But in fact, you have not seen through the truth at all, but death has made you more afraid of death, so you feel that nothing is more important than life. In the final analysis, you used to be an arrogant coward, but now you have become a simple coward."
Rocky's eyes widened little by little: "You..."
"You repeatedly asked me what the point of this was. In the end, you just wanted to see me become like you so that you could comfort yourself." Isaiah said calmly, "But I am different from you. Death will not change me. You asked me why I did this before, and I have already answered you, and the answer is still the same now."
"If the Star Relic God has covered my eyes, then He should get out of the way."
“I came here because of this, and I may die because of this, but I will not change or retreat because of this.”
"And you seem to have misunderstood one thing. I am willing to listen to you here not because I agree with you, but simply because I want to take a break." Isaiah said, "I stopped to move forward, and you stopped to stop moving forward."
After saying that, Isaiah raised his thumb without waiting for Rocky’s response——【Disturbance】!
With the help of [Disturbance], Isaiah's weak body recovered rapidly.
Of course, this is not real recovery. Using rules to heal the wounds of rules is just drinking poison to quench thirst.
But before collapsing completely, it is enough to quench your thirst.
"You don't deserve this finger." Isaiah left the last words, then stood up and moved forward.
Rocky's breathing became heavier and heavier, and his originally pale face turned red, obviously because of anger.
"Who do you think you are?!" he yelled, "Are you God or Visas? You are neither! Everything you do is meaningless! Your fate will be the same as ours.
No... No, you will be worse off than us! You will be punished by the gods, your soul will be annihilated, you will be cursed forever, you, you..."
But no matter how much he cursed, Isaiah did not turn back.
He just walked straight towards the night sky without any hesitation.
And then stop under the brightest starlight.
"It's next." He said calmly.
