Chapter 39 Chapter 39 The Third Wish
After the main interface opened the channel, System 05 entered the world numbered A47, and Chen Mu followed closely and sneaked into this world.
The host he chooses each time is the person closest to System 05, but this time the host is unusual; it is the Lord of the Avengers summoned by Weber.
When Chen Mu's consciousness entered the consciousness of the Lord of Avengers, what he felt was endless emptiness and darkness. Immediately afterwards, he was immediately attacked by the Lord of Avengers.
The Avenger Lord was completely unwelcome to this stranger within his consciousness. Its own consciousness was equally powerful, and a fierce battle immediately ensued between the two. Having just experienced a new world, Chen Mu found his soul somewhat stronger, but still far from a match for the Avenger Lord. He could only fight, flee, and continue fighting within the endless sea of consciousness.
A person can switch between tens of millions of thoughts in a split second. Though the battles within the sea of consciousness were frequent and intense, and their clashes lasted for a long time, to the outside world, they seemed like mere seconds. After the encounter, Chen Mu understood the nature of his host. The Lord of Avengers had no body; it was hatred incarnate.
After another battle, Chen Mu fled through the sea of consciousness. This was the domain of the Avenger Lord, and it should have been completely under its control. It could appear anywhere, leaving Chen Mu with nowhere to escape. However, this was not the case. The Avenger Lord had never explored this part of his soul, and it was equally unfamiliar to him. This gave Chen Mu a chance to breathe.
He shuttled through darkness, the Avenger Lord relentlessly pursuing him. From the moment he entered the host's sea of consciousness, all he saw was darkness. Suddenly, however, he saw a faint glimmer of light, and Chen Mu entered without hesitation. The Avenger Lord remained in the darkness for a long time, perhaps puzzled as to why, besides darkness, there was also a glimmer of light in his sea of consciousness.
Chen Mu was now in a desolate snowfield. The light reflected from the snow was very dim. The collapsed castle and the abandoned garden were buried under the snow. The howling of the cold wind was echoing, and the pale moonlight soaked in the snow. He heard the sigh of death.
At this time, the Lord of the Avengers also caught up, and the two sides fought again. Every collision was earth-shaking, but not even the snowflakes on the ground trembled a little.
Chen Mu ran away again.
The Avenger Lord's consciousness is tenacious and powerful, and it is impossible for him to defeat or even replace it, but Chen Mu does not intend to give up.
The attack methods of both sides were simple and brutal. The two consciousnesses kept colliding. With every collision, Chen Mu could see fragments of the Lord of Avengers' memories. As they fought more and more times, Chen Mu gradually fought through the Lord of Avengers' life.
Prince Doran for eighteen years, and the Lord of Avengers for two hundred years.
After several battles in the snow, Chen Mu entered the ancient castle. What he saw next was a hell on earth.
People with blurred faces and wearing black armor rushed into the castle. They rode on horses, raised their swords, and killed indiscriminately. Blood splattered everywhere and splashed onto the snow-white marble brick walls. The blood penetrated Chen Mu's consciousness. He could almost smell the strong and suffocating smell of blood. Corpses were piled on the ground. Screams, wails, laughter, and roars echoed in the castle. Even Chen Mu suffered a brief mental shock.
Of course he had seen wars and killings, but he had never seen such a one-sided massacre. People in black armor with blurred faces were chopped up like melons and vegetables. Those who came in their best clothes to attend the banquet had no power to fight back. They chopped off people's heads at will. The heads rolled and piled up on the gorgeous costumes. The white brick walls, the colorful glass paintings, and the children holding flowers were finally covered with layer upon layer of blood, turning into a glaring red.
The Lord of Avengers chased in again, and the two sides continued to fight. The Lord of Avengers began to become angry, and his attacks became more fierce. No matter what the cost, he must kill Chen Mu in the Bloody Castle.
Chen Mu's resistance became reluctant, but he also had reasons not to die at the hands of the Lord of Avengers. With every collision, his soul would become a little more fragile. Chen Mu fled in the bloody castle and saw the massacre and abuse happening in every corner here, until he found a door with light coming through the door. He wanted to go out from there.
The Lord of Avengers roared for the first time.
[You are not allowed to go over there——!]
The bloody castle was shaking violently, and the wailing and screaming penetrated deep into Chen Mu's soul. He was terrified and his soul was trembling. However, at the same time, he felt the deep sadness from the Lord of Avengers.
The Lord of Avengers wanted to stop Chen Mu at all costs. His roar hid heartbreaking despair, but Chen Mu still opened the door.
He walked in.
A rose-like blond boy stood in the garden with a shy smile on his face.
The sun fell on the garden, and every flower bloomed brilliantly and proudly. The rich fragrance and golden sunlight surrounded him. He stroked the soft petals. Someone called him softly in the distance, so he ran away with a smile.
The Lord of Avengers did not follow.
Chen Mu turned around and saw that the Lord of Avengers was still in the bloody castle. It was watching everything from that corner mixed with blood and darkness, but it didn't dare to come in.
【Who are you? 】
It asked. This was the first conversation between the Lord of Avengers and Chen Mu.
During the collision, the Lord of Avengers also accepted Chen Mu's memory.
They are of the same kind, both born for revenge, but now, Chen Mu has a new goal.
They reached an agreement: the Avenger Lord would lend Chen Mu some of his power, and Chen Mu would plan revenge. Chen Mu promised he could do better, and indeed, he did. He used some of his power to control Federer, who had been influenced by the Avenger's spirit, to contact System 05, and the rest quietly influenced the City Lord's decision.
He wanted the city lord to put everything on the line and destroy the holy city with his own hands.
…
The horse is running.
The silver steed galloped across the water, leaving behind tiny specks of golden light before vanishing into the wind. Its speed was extraordinary; in the blink of an eye, it had left the Holy City, carrying System 05.
System 05 wrapped himself in his robe, the wind rustling the hems of his robe, his hair swirling in the air, the wind like sharp blades slicing his cheeks and ears. The night had not yet passed, following him like a shadow. System 05 leaned forward, not needing to discern the direction; he only needed to give the steed a destination, and it would naturally take him there.
Where is he going? The Avenger asked.
Chen Mu couldn't answer. He thought everything was over. The city lord was dead, everyone in the holy city was dead, and the Avengers were dead. As long as the Lord of Avengers killed Weber, its hatred would naturally disappear, and the Lord of Avengers would no longer exist.
So what did System 05 want to do? Why did he spend so many points to summon a horse? Where did he want to go? Before this, destroying the statue, opening the water source, and injecting the purification potion were all within Chen Mu's expectations, but this time, he really didn't understand what System 05 wanted to do.
[Where are you going?] The Avenger Lord asked, and Shadow climbed onto System 05's back.
The silver horse was still galloping, the forest grew long twisted branches trying to stop him, the river surged with waves trying to stop him, the smoke formed a dense net trying to stop him, the darkness was whispering, watching him, tearing at the corners of his clothes, the wind was getting stronger, blowing his long hair wildly, and the Lord of Avengers followed closely behind.
Ta-da, ta-da, only the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the darkness. Wherever the Lord of Avengers went, the night became darker and the silence became quieter, as if everything in the world was swallowed up.
"Where are you going?" the Avenger asked, and Shadow grabbed his neck and held him tightly in his arms.
System 05 stared at the front closely. He could not see anything. The darkness blinded his eyes, covered his ears, and even strangled his throat. But it didn't matter. The horse would take him to his destination. System 05 still kept his eyes open, holding the seed in his hand. The seed contained the water source of the holy city.
"Where are you going?" the Avenger asked, shadows digging into his flesh and tearing at his insides.
The city lord died, the people of the holy city died, and the avengers died too, but all this was far from over. The original Red Xi□□ lived on a peaceful and prosperous plain. God blessed them with favorable weather, abundant water resources and a pleasant climate. Just sow a seed and you will reap a bountiful harvest.
The Lord of Avengers did not ask any more questions, because System 05 stopped, and the horse neighed loudly before turning into a golden light and disappearing.
At this time, he returned to the location of the castle. System 05 took out the seed, knelt down, dug a small hole with his hands, and buried the seed under the snow.
A faint dawn light appeared on the horizon.
"Next year, the seeds will sprout, and water will return to this land." System 05 was finally able to see some light. He opened his eyes wide, and the edges of his amber pupils were shining with golden light.
At this moment, he was brighter and warmer than the morning light in the sky.
“New life will be born here.”
"After death, there is rebirth."
The Lord of Avengers pounced on him, and the dark and cold shadow wrapped around his limbs, penetrating into his body inch by inch, grasping his bones, sucking his flesh and blood, and holding him tightly in his arms.
Just like the first time.
He opened his arms, calmly welcomed death, and took the initiative to put an end to it all.
"Honey, you win." Before losing consciousness, System 05 vaguely heard Chen Mu's voice.
He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and then he suddenly found that his body became lighter, and a black shadow was hovering above him. Weber was dead. System 05 was about to leave this body when he suddenly felt a cold touch on his face.
The huge black shadow gradually shrank and turned into a rosy-blonde boy, who gently kissed the corpse's cheek and disappeared into the morning light with him.
