Chapter 184 The Resolve to Sacrifice + Regret
Chapter 184 The awareness of sacrifice + a trace of regret.
"Since it was able to severely damage the ancient god of destruction once, then the great world will can do so a second time."
"Don't be afraid, I'm not afraid, and you shouldn't be afraid either..."
...
The awakened ones nearby spoke very little at first.
But then, as if they had opened a floodgate, they started talking non-stop.
“That’s right, we still have a savior, we still have a great world will. We still have a chance…” Lergis had to admit that she was encouraged.
Not far away.
“I will kill you. This beautiful world is not a place where monsters like you have the right to run rampant.” Vierlan, the savior, stepped forward.
She had no choice but to step forward.
Because, right now, she's the only one here who's "tall".
At this point, she had to step in.
Only she could step up.
With a "boom," the giant orc lifted its foot and walked over.
His single step traversed hundreds of miles.
That wasn't all; what's even more terrifying is that when His foot landed, the space around Him was easily shattered. It produced a terrifying roar, like a nuclear explosion.
"Die!" Vierlan leaped forward, charging ahead. Midway, she summoned a giant "Demon-Slaying Blade" with all her might.
The demon-slaying blades seemed to cover an area of over 500 miles.
Vierlan pushed upwards forcefully.
The Demon-Slaying Blade charged forward.
"Roar!" The giant orc roared upon seeing this.
A thick plume of gray, foul-smelling gas was emitted.
It clashed with the Demon-Slaying Blade.
With a hissing sound, the stench generated an unprecedented corrosive force upon contact. The Demon-Slaying Blade was actually rotten and became pitted and uneven.
The giant orc raised his hand and slapped the Demon-Slaying Blade.
With a "bang," the Demon-Slaying Blade shattered into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.
"Cough cough." Vierlan couldn't help but cough. She felt an involuntary, sharp pain in her body.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," but suddenly, invisible forces surged in from all directions.
In an instant, Vierlan's pain vanished, and her strength involuntarily increased dramatically.
“Praise be to the great will of the world.” Villan understood that the will of the world was helping her, and she couldn’t help but feel grateful.
Then, she summoned a giant demon-slaying blade again and charged towards the orc.
The behemoth's eyes were actually somewhat cloudy, appearing hazy, making it clear at a glance that it had mental problems. Or perhaps, it lacked a normal mind; it only possessed the instinct to destroy the world.
But precisely because He didn't have many thoughts, Vierland felt she had a chance. Well, just a chance.
Because she could sense that although the world had bestowed upon her a great deal of power, it was still far from being as powerful as the giant orc, an avatar of the Old God.
The stench of decay permeated the area around the giant beastman's body, and wherever he went, the world suffered unprecedented pollution.
Even the monsters couldn't stand the stench; they were dying rapidly.
This place seems to be turning into a show exclusively for Vierlan and the giant orcs.
The purple-blue sword light clashed with the gray, malevolent stench.
The giant beastman raised his enormous hands and kept slapping them at Vierlan.
And this thing doesn't really restrain its power; it's recklessly spreading its destructive force.
Strictly speaking, the behemoths didn't consider Vierlan an opponent, but rather a tiny fly.
His goal has always been destruction, destruction, and more destruction.
Dealing with Vierlan was more like a side effect.
"Boom, boom," in the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of a thousand miles was shaken and collapsed by the magic.
The edge of the continent trembled violently.
"Retreat, retreat quickly! This kind of battle is beyond our ability to intervene in."
"Our opponents should be those monsters."
"Such an enemy can only be entrusted to the savior, and we hope that the savior will be victorious."
"Go, Savior!"
...
The awakened ones who remained here cried out in panic.
"Ahhh." However, some weaker awakened individuals were wiped out by the aftershocks of the battle before they could even take any action.
"Bang." Vierlan finally rushed to the side of the giant orc. She slashed horizontally with her sword, releasing a long purple-blue line.
With a "sizzle," it cut like a blade of light across the giant orc's body.
The enormous, decaying body instantly split open with a large gash.
But Vierlan didn't even have time to be surprised.
From within the wound, even more stench erupted, mixed with rotten, foul-smelling flesh.
Vierlan was caught off guard and was confronted directly.
The impact was more violent than ever before. Vierlan's body flew out, and with a "crack, crack," all the bones in her body groaned as if they were about to be shattered.
That's not all; when she came into close contact with the giant orc's strange attacks, her flesh and blood began to rot and decay.
Vierlan's vitality declined uncontrollably.
"Cough cough cough, that's incredibly powerful." Vierlan struggled in mid-air, trying to stop.
But she simply couldn't hold on.
About five seconds later, she flew hundreds of miles and landed on a distant beach.
With a "bang," the beach exploded instantly, turning into a crater 300 meters deep and 1,000 meters in diameter.
"Cough cough cough, this is truly powerful. Great world will, I need power." Vierlan's body was clearly not well.
But Villan's will remained strong.
She forcefully emitted light, transforming into a purple-blue radiant being. She struggled to stand up from the ground and soared into the air.
"I need more power."
"World, I don't want to lose."
Vierlan prayed.
Perhaps sensing Villan's determination, or perhaps feeling seriously threatened by the giant beastmen, power indeed appeared from all directions and surged into Villan's body.
With a "whoosh," the luster of Vierland became even brighter.
And now, she is like a little sun. And the light she emits has an extraordinary purifying ability on the power of the giant beastmen.
Even the fragmented world became gentle and beautiful under this light.
"Crackling and popping," however, Villan became very magical.
However, the environment above the sea of clouds was changing, with dark clouds gathering and lightning flashing.
Even more strange pressure, filled with decay yet mixed with a rich sacred aura, descended through the dark clouds.
A shadow, dilapidated yet possessing boundless terror, looms in and out of the clouds.
The shadow was large, but upon closer inspection, it resembled that of a giant orc.
"What is this?" Vierlan looked up in confusion.
"Click, click," but when she looked at the other person, even before she could see him clearly, an indescribable forbidden power leaked out.
Many of the blood vessels in her eyes burst, and a large amount of blood flowed out.
Vierlan quickly lowered her head.
"The ancient gods of destruction?" Vierlan said with difficulty.
"Vierlan, you must not continue to acquire the world's power, otherwise the world will be unable to resist the ancient gods of destruction from beyond the heavens. The ancient gods of destruction will descend upon this world in their true forms and destroy it." Suddenly, Lyrgis's voice came from afar.
Lergis was very anxious and fearful.
Having seen a lot, she was able to make some calculations after seeing the current scene.
This thing gave her the creeps.
"How could this be?" Vierlan was stunned.
"There's one last way." Lyrgis flew to Vierlan's side.
At the same time, when the giant beastman realized that Villan hadn't approached, it slowly made its way towards the continent of Fingerg, without pursuing Villan.
His goal is to destroy the world.
"What method?" Vierlan's tone was full of urgency.
There's nothing we can do; her time is running out.
When the moment came, Lergis hesitated. She looked at Villan with a mixture of desire and unease, which made Villan increasingly anxious, even to the point of becoming impatient.
"Speak up!" Vierlan's tone became very aggressive.
“Sigh.” Lergis sighed, “Well, there’s nothing I can’t say…”
Lergis began his narration.
Five seconds later, Lergis finished speaking.
Vierlan, however, gave a nonchalant smile. "For the sake of this world, let me be the sacrifice, let me be the offering. What does it matter?"
"Throughout history, there have been far too many awakened individuals who have sacrificed themselves. It doesn't matter if there is one more like me now."
"I'm just like them, nothing special."
...
After speaking, Vierlan dashed towards the giant orc.
“Without any attachments, you would indeed act without hesitation at this moment.” Lyrgis looked at this scene with a sorrowful expression: “But perhaps even if you had attachments, you would still make the same choice, simply because you are the savior.”
"Perhaps my Salvation Organization made a mistake."
"If you hadn't done that, you might have been happier and had fewer regrets."
...
Lergis suddenly felt quite regretful.
Yes, all along, the Salvation Organization has been subtly guiding and even manipulating Vierlan's fate, making her follow the path planned by the Salvation Organization as much as possible.
The death of the original owner of Loya's body was orchestrated by their Salvation Organization.
Unfortunately, the arrival of Loya, the messenger of chaos, caused their first assassination attempt to fail.
The second time, it attracted a monster that wanted to destroy Loya. But it failed again.
The third time, before she could even do it, Vierlan encountered danger in Kane Town. Fortunately, Lergis was secretly following her, so Vierlan was not killed.
At this point, Lergis wanted to take advantage of the situation and eliminate Loya, but this time, he was even more unlucky. Loya was not dead; instead, he had transformed into a terrifying monster.
Fortunately, thanks to the guidance she received in the past, coupled with her own moral compass, Vierlan did not go astray because of this mistake.
On the contrary, Vierlan grew up smoothly and became very outstanding.
Previously, Lergis didn't think the Salvation Organization was wrong to control Vierlan's fate.
Because all of this is for the world, for humanity.
Therefore, they are willing to do anything bad or act inappropriately.
Because for the two noble goals of the world and all mankind, all sacrifices are worthwhile.
However, when the time came, Lergis felt that the Salvation Organization's actions were superfluous.
But it's too late for regrets now.
May you be happy in the afterlife.
"May you live a normal life in your next life, without having to live for others or for the world."
"May you live for yourself."
...
Leergis watched helplessly as Vierlan drove away, muttering to himself incessantly.
Actually, she didn't want Vierlan to die at this time.
Because it was Vierlan's death that merely bought time, delaying the world's demise by a little bit.
Their original plan for the salvation organization relied heavily on Vierlan as their savior. If Vierlan were gone, their plan would fail.
But things have come to this point, and if we don't sacrifice Vierlan to save the world, then the world will be destroyed right now.
Helpless, she could only suppress her grief and disrupt her plans. After all, surviving the imminent crisis was the most important thing.
The closer Vierlan got to the enemy, the dimmer her light became.
"Dad, I'm leaving."
"Waaaaah, why did this happen..."
"If there is an afterlife, I hope we can live a peaceful and safe life."
Although Villan had decided to sacrifice herself, tears still welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face when the moment came.
At this moment, memories of the wonderful times she had spent with her father, "Loya," flashed through her mind.
A deep sense of regret welled up inside her.
But now that things have come to this, there's no time for regrets, and no need to think about it anymore.
In the next instant, Vierlan's light completely dissipated.
Strangely, her body also disappeared.
In the distance, only a tiny tear was sliding down to the ground.
The giant beastman glanced at them suspiciously.
Just now, He instinctively sensed danger and wanted to come over and have a good fight with this ungrateful fellow.
However, just as He was about to take action, Vierlan was gone.
He had a kind of illusion of being manipulated (in a limbo).
However, business is more important.
The giant beastman's eyes widened, and two torrents of water shot out like long rivers.
This is too big, and the direction we're flying towards is deep within the continent of Fingerg.
"How terrifying! If this thing were to crash onto the mainland, wouldn't it destroy a city, or even several cities?"
"Who can stop it?"
"Savior, can't you even protect this world?"
...
Human awakened beings in many regions watched this scene with despair.
They were powerless to stop it.
"Even if I have to die, I want to die in battle."
Suddenly, a strong figure shot out from beneath the stream of light, recklessly crashing headfirst into it.
This was a national-level awakened being. He was very powerful. However, he was not very effective against the attacks of this behemoth.
The moment he came into contact with the light, his entire body began to decay rapidly.
The optical flow fluctuates slightly before it continues to emit.
Clearly, even a national-level awakened being couldn't stop this attack.
But, at that very moment...
Where Vierlan disappeared, a glimmer of white light appeared.
The white light was very small when it first appeared, but in the next instant, it began to increase rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a thick pillar of light. It continued to extend and lengthen.
With a "bang," one end of it struck the giant orc.
With a "thud," the giant orc's seemingly indestructible body was pierced through.
That's not all; the white pillar of light also contains extraordinary purifying power.
