Chapter 59 Final Chapter
Chapter 59 Final Chapter
==============
It was getting dark.
The sun went all the way to the west, and it looked like a ripe orange, round and yellow.
Lin Qiao leaned against the window, looking into the distance.
From his perspective, he can see the entire Liberty City in his eyes.
The small city is booming, like a greedy steel giant, constantly devouring the surrounding territories and growing itself.
Lin Qiao was a little absorbed in watching, and didn't notice a shadow approaching behind him.
It wasn't until the cold breath lingered on the tip of his nose that he came back to his senses.
Arthur put his arms around Lin Qiao's shoulders, and the dark red hair gently swept across his cheeks, bringing a burst of itchiness.
Lin Qiao brushed aside her hair, adjusted her posture, and leaned comfortably in Arthur's arms, turning her head and continuing to look at the scenery.
Arthur said slowly, "Is it nice?"
Lin Qiao: "It's okay."
So Arthur followed this gaze and looked over.
It's just that Lin Qiao is really looking at the scenery in the city, and Arthur is purely in a daze.
However, this does not prevent the two from leaning close together, enjoying their spare time at dusk.
The sun gradually sank, and the sky was smeared with red clouds, as if it had been burned by fire.
It's already evening, and the smoke from every house rises. The people walking on the road have smiles on their faces and greet the acquaintances.
Children were playing and playing, running from one end of the street to the other.While running, a door opened, the woman picked up her child, cursed with disgust, and pushed it back home.
Everything is so ordinary.
There are no gods in Liberty City, and even the Lord of the Abyss is just a cover for bluffing and deceiving.
Probably because believing in the Lord of the Abyss cannot gain power, so there are very few people in the city who believe in the Abyss, and even if there are, they are not so pious.
However, Liberty City did not have any clear requirements for belief in gods. The attitude it maintains is - believe in love, believe in it, or believe it if you don't believe it.
In such an environment, the atmosphere of faith is not strong.
Lin Qiao looked at this scene, his eyes flashed, and he said to himself: "I'm thinking about one thing..."
Arthur came closer: "What are you thinking?"
Lin Qiao was about to speak when he felt a hard object hit him.
Lin Qiao: "?"
... something is wrong with you.
He looked back, only to realize that he was thinking wrongly. The hard thing was nothing but the horn on the top of Arthur's head.
For convenience, Arthur put away a pair of wings, leaving only the black goat horns on his forehead, showing his inhuman identity.
As soon as Lin Qiao saw the pair of black goat horns, his hands itched.
He endured it for a while, but couldn't hold it back, and stretched out his hand to stroke it.
The black goat horn has a special touch, which is different from ordinary horns.
The tip of the horn is hard, the lines on it are clear and delicate, and you can feel a chill when you touch it.
Lin Qiao touched all the way from the tip of the horn to the root.
No one had ever touched such an eerie and evil part. Even now, Arthur still couldn't get used to it, and his body tensed up.
He could clearly feel that the fingers resting on the horns were delicate, and the fingertips were gentle and soft, even the hardest iron would melt.
First, the Adam's apple rolled up and down, and then the breathing gradually became short of breath.
Even her voice was low and hoarse, shouting: "Jojo..."
Lin Qiao realized the danger, quickly withdrew his hand, and sat upright: "Ahem—" He said that he didn't do anything.
Arthur looked aggrieved, the streamers in his eyes were bright, and he looked like a wet puppy.
Lin Qiao's eyes fluttered.
It was indeed his fault to run away after flirting.
But... it's all because Arthur looks so easy to touch!
Lin Qiao rubbed the tip of her nose, wanting to change the subject, but was interrupted by such an interruption, she had already forgotten what she was going to say just now.
He had no choice but to mention other things: "Aren't you going to find the God of Light?"
Arthur: "Wait tonight."
conversation room.
The light in the sky was completely dimmed.
The light fades and the darkness returns.
Outside the window, the strong wind was blowing, crackling the branches and bringing an ominous omen.
Arthur said abruptly, "It's time."
Lin Qiao hadn't realized it yet: "When is the time?" He turned his head, and there was no trace of Arthur behind him.
……
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, the Holy Court of Light.
The war broke out outside, and the people were in dire straits, but the Holy Court of Light was like a paradise, and it was not affected at all.
The statue of the God of Light is high above, looking down on the believers.
The veranda bends, and the boys and girls in white robes are hanging down, holding sacrificial supplies and walking slowly. In the garden, the believers are praying... The bright stone inlaid on the wall exudes a lustrous luster. Everything was shrouded in an aura of unreality.
Suddenly, a heavy footstep sounded, breaking the quiet atmosphere.
A figure came from outside the door.
His body exuded a strong smell of blood, and the mithril armor on his body creaked as he walked.
The next person was handsome, with golden hair shining under the helmet.
The believers recognized the person who came, and they all shouted: "Holy Son!"
"My lord, you are back."
"My lord, a sacrificial ceremony is being held now..."
Andy raised his hand slightly, stopping what the others were going to say next.He had driven for a long time, the road was full of dust, and even his voice was tired: "I'll just watch."
As the Holy Son, he still has this privilege, so no one is dissuading him.
Andy really looked at it that way.
The sacrificial ceremony went smoothly.
The pure-hearted boys and girls in white robes knelt in front of the statue, praying devoutly, begging for the mercy of the light.
Andy also raised his head, looking up at the huge statue of the God of Light.
It's just that in the past, he was full of longing and fear, but now, facing the statue again, he actually felt a little ridiculous.
Yes, ridiculous.
Everything that happened in Rye Village is still vivid, which makes his faith shake.
The God of Light, who was in awe of him, was dragged into the darkness in embarrassment, and let out a shrill scream, like, like an animal waiting to be slaughtered.
Gods, like humans, are subject to injury and death.
After realizing this, the filter on the god's body was shattered, and he could never return to the mysterious and holy appearance before.
Andy's vision blurred, and his temples throbbed.
Why is it so.
Andy clenched his teeth tightly, not letting himself make a sound.He endured it, but he still heard an exclamation in his ear.
He opened his eyes suddenly.
The source of the voice was not himself, but... those devout believers.
The believers screamed in panic, their faces twisted, full of fear and panic, as if they saw the end of the world.
"what happened?"
"Quiet, quiet!"
People outside heard the movement and ran in one after another.
Originally, they wanted to stop the screaming person, but when they came in to see what happened, they also became terrified.
scream.
cry...
All kinds of noisy voices mixed together.
Andy took a closer look.
On the statue surrounded by holy light, a long and narrow gap was opened.The gap runs through the entire theme of the statue, extending fine lines like spider webs.
When the number of cracks reached a certain amount, the idol shook and collapsed.
wow-
The fragments of the statue fell down, and the head of the god rolled on the ground and came to Andy.
The head of the god is upward, and a pair of eyes are staring. Unlike the peace and harmony of the past, the eyes of the god are now full of resentment and fear.
But it was useless even if he was not reconciled, the light covering his head receded, and it turned into powder with a "bang".
At this moment, all believers of the God of Light clearly sensed that the god had fallen.
The pious believers knelt down and cried bitterly, while the less pious took the opportunity to take away their belongings and prepare to run away.
Within a short while, the originally sacred and peaceful Guangming Holy Court became noisy, no different from a vegetable market.
In a messy scene, only Andy stood upright.
At the moment the god died, a lot of information suddenly flooded into his mind.
He knew that the future still had an established destiny.
The God of Light will become the only god on the continent, and he will become the Holy Emperor, unifying the power of theocracy and kingship, and leaving a strong mark in the history books.
This is "the future".
But the reality is that the God of Light has fallen, and his identity as the Son of God has also disappeared.
Andy grabbed his hair hard, and at this moment he actually felt the unwillingness of the God of Light with empathy.
It shouldn't be like this...
shouldn't...
In the panic-stricken holy court, an angry cry filled with pain resounded.
……
city of freedom.
At the deepest moment of the night, Lin Qiao also felt the fall of the God of Light.
He thought that the fall of the God of Light would affect the world, such as the sun no longer rising, or the disappearance of light.
Unexpectedly, nothing happened.
When the time came, the sun still rose without any change.
Lin Qiao didn't sleep all night, but she was still in high spirits.He looked at the rising sun, and that question arose again.
What did the existence of gods bring to this world?
Perhaps the people on this continent have been educated in faith since childhood, and they naturally accept that they must believe in gods in the future. They don't think there is anything wrong with it, and they don't realize that they can live well without gods.
Lin Qiao was originally an atheist from another world, and the development of Liberty City made him realize this clearly.
Maybe this continent doesn't need gods at all.
Thinking of this, the light outside became even brighter.
Lin Qiao stood up.
Now that the God of Light has been dealt with, the next thing to do is...wait.
Waiting for the goddess of the moon and the goddess of abundance to come to your door.
……
Lin Qiao was planning the Goddess of Plenty and the Moon here, and the two gods were also planning how to deal with the abyss.
The Goddess of Plenty touched the emerald green shoots wrapped around her palm, and said, "Shouldn't we swallow the territory of the God of Light first?"
The goddess of the moon sat on the moon and smiled slightly: "Others think so too."
The goddess of abundance paused and suddenly realized.
That's right, at this time everyone thought that they would first carve up the territory and believers of the God of Light, but they did the opposite and chose to attack the abyss, wouldn't they just be caught off guard?
Goddess of Plenty: "It's a good idea, but... the Lord of the Abyss is not so easy to deal with."
The goddess of the moon heard the implication of Feng Rao's words.
If the Lord of the Abyss dies, only him and the moon are the only gods left in the world. At this time, whoever is stronger will be the final winner and the only god on the mainland.
Under such circumstances, Feng Rao definitely didn't want to deal with the Lord of the Abyss so aggressively, lest he be picked up.
Coincidentally, the goddess of the moon also thought so.
The Moon Goddess didn't intend to expose Feng Rao, her words were still gentle: "We don't have to face the abyss head-on."
The goddess of abundance's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
The goddess of the moon raised her hand, and the moonlight passed through her fingertips: "The lord of the abyss has dealt with the god of light, and he must have been seriously injured. At this time, we can just go to Joe Flynn."
The Goddess of Plenty couldn't remember who "Joe Flynn" was. After searching her memory for a while, she found a vague impression: "You mean... that black-haired boy?"
The goddess of the moon nodded: "The trajectories of the stars all come from the black-haired boy. Let's take him away and wait for the Lord of the Abyss to throw himself into the trap, isn't it good?"
A sentence sounded, full of strange temptation.
The goddess of abundance seemed to be confused: "Just do as you say..."
The two gods reached a consensus for the time being.
They followed the moonlight and came to the territory of Liberty City.
The goddess of abundance was surprised: "When did such a big city be built here?"
The Moon Goddess's voice sank: "I don't know."
The Goddess of Plenty knowingly asked: "Moon, isn't this your territory? Why don't you know anything? It will be bad if you are invaded by other gods."
The goddess of the moon's face became more and more ugly.
Now the two parties are still in a cooperative relationship, and the Goddess of Abundance accepts as soon as she sees a deal, and she doesn't really want to anger her teammates.
He changed the subject: "The black-haired boy... is here."
The green plants rustled, pointing out a direction.
Ahead, it was a dark castle.
The castle is hidden in the darkness, as if hiding a man-eating beast.
The Goddess of Plenty was fearful, and asked vigilantly, "Are you sure the Lord of the Abyss is not here?"
The Moon Goddess snorted coldly: "The Lord of the Abyss is injured, and only his breath remains here. Why, you started to be afraid without even seeing a shadow?"
As we all know, gods are more concerned about face. Even if the goddess of abundance really loves the Lord of the Abyss, it is impossible for her to admit it in front of another god.
Of course, he chose to be stubborn: "There is no such thing!"
The goddess of the moon provoked: "Then go?"
The Goddess of Plenty flicked the green vine in her hand, and walked quickly towards the castle.
However, he looked reckless, but he was actually vigilant.When they reached the gate of the castle, they didn't rush in, but sent a green vine to explore the way first.
Only after confirming that the Lord of the Abyss was indeed gone, did he dare to go in swaggeringly.
Goddess of Plenty: "That person is upstairs."
The Moon Goddess nodded.
Side by side, the two gods stepped into the deep darkness together.
They came to the top floor.
The black-haired boy was sitting by the windowsill reading a book.
He might have just woken up, and his black hair was disheveled, with one sticking up in disobedience.Holding a book in his hand, he was slowly flipping through it. He read it very seriously, even if a god was right in front of him, he would not be moved.
Goddess of Plenty: "Joe Flynn—"
Lin Qiao lowered her head, as if she didn't hear the shout.
The goddess of abundance was angry.
It's okay for the gods to look down on him usually, but now a mere human dares to look down on him.
As soon as the anger came up, he lost his reason.
Maybe there is only a human being in front of him, and there is no need to treat it so cautiously. He stretched out his hand, and countless vines rushed out.
A gust of wind blows.
The boy's forehead hair was slightly messy.
Just when the vines were about to arrive in front of him, the boy turned over a page of the book in a calm manner.At the same time, a clear voice sounded: "I have always had a question."
"Why can the gods gain power from faith."
The vines condensed in mid-air.
The boy raised his eyelids, his eyes were black and white.
"I now have the answer."
"Do you want to know?"
After the words fell, the Goddess of Plenty felt the danger approaching, and all the plants seemed to be blown out, and the leaves trembled crazily.
The goddess of the moon also had an ominous premonition.
The two gods said in unison: "I don't want to know."
Lin Qiao tilted his head: "But I want to tell you, what should I do?"
The reaction of the two gods was to turn around and run away.
Lin Qiao turned another page of the book, and instead of getting up to chase after him, he said flatly, "Isn't it impolite to come without warning and leave without saying goodbye?"
The goddess of abundance said subconsciously: "We are gods, but you are just a human being, how dare you say 'polite' to us?"
Lin Qiao was not angry, but smiled slightly: "Wrong."
"You are not gods, and I... am not human either."
At this moment, the hair of the goddess of abundance stood on end: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lin Qiao raised a finger: "Hush, listen to me."
His words seemed to have a kind of magical power, so that the two gods could not move, they could only stand firmly in place, forced to listen.
"This continent was created by the Creator God."
"So I've been thinking, everyone is the child of the Creator God, why some are high gods and some are ordinary people?"
"I flipped through the books of the God of Knowledge for the answer, and finally... I found it."
"You—gods—are all fake."
"It's not that people believe in gods, but...you become gods after you get the belief of human beings."
Those little gods are just stronger human beings who became "false gods" because they gained faith.
So in retrospect, the God of Light, the God of Knowledge, the Goddess of Fertility and the Goddess of the Moon are just more powerful false gods?
Therefore, they need to use people's beliefs to maintain their godheads, so that they do not hesitate to set off a battle of beliefs in an attempt to unify the beliefs of the mainland and become the only gods.
Both the Moon Goddess and the Harvest Goddess were pale, and they wanted to overthrow this guess, but they were powerless to refute it.
Because... this is indeed the truth of the gods.
Lin Qiao raised another finger: "I have another question. People believe in gods, so... what kind of existence is believed in by gods?"
Goddess of Plenty: "Impossible! It is impossible for a god to believe in other gods!"
Lin Qiao sighed lightly, and said regretfully, "I'm sorry, but now I have become an existence of belief in gods."
……
Everything goes back to where it started.
The black-haired boy said seriously: "We can be gods to each other."
"You believe in me, and I can believe in you."
……
When Arthur appears.
It's all over.
In front of Lin Qiao's table were two fragments of the godhead, plus the fragment of the god of knowledge, one piece was missing to form a complete godhead.
Arthur silently took out the Godhead of the God of Light.
jingle-
The shard of godhead fell on the table and rolled around.
The four godhead fragments are attracted to each other, without using hands, they spontaneously condensed together, suspended in mid-air, forming a rhombus-shaped stone.
There are mysterious patterns all over the stone, and there is a piece in the center, which seems to be missing.
Lin Qiao looked at Arthur and thought, the missing piece could be Arthur's godhead fragment, right?
Arthur saw what Lin Qiao was thinking, and shook his head: "It's not mine."
He raised his hand.
The light and shadow changed, and another fragment spit out from the darkness.
"This is the Godhead of the Creator God," Arthur said.
Lin Qiao picked up the fragment and put it into the diamond-shaped stone.
There was a "ding".
The fragments were fitted in tightly, and the rhombus-shaped stones finally formed a whole, slowly turning in mid-air, emitting invisible ripples.
The surrounding elements became active, approaching here, forming elemental elves one by one.
They sing and dance around the complete Godhead.
Lin Qiao seemed to have a feeling that as long as he touched this godhead, he could become the new god.
Be the only god on the road.
Lin Qiao's pupils narrowed slightly, staring at the diamond-shaped godhead, the desire in his heart rippled, and he could hardly restrain himself, and stretched out his hand towards the godhead.
Arthur didn't stop, but watched quietly.
Just when his fingers were about to touch the godhead, Lin Qiao struggled to stop.
His face was pale and he kept sweating: "No, I don't want to..."
Lin Qiao woke up, took two steps back, panting heavily.
Arthur was puzzled: "Jojo, don't you want it?"
Lin Qiao said with difficulty: "No."
Arthur: "Why?"
Lin Qiao couldn't tell either.
He could foresee that if he accepted the godhead, he would do the same thing as the previous gods, gain people's beliefs, and fulfill people's wishes.
But this is not what he wants to do.
Lin Qiao's heart gradually calmed down: "I don't think there is a need for gods in this world."
This sentence blurted out.
The godhead trembled with a "hum", and a dense mist came out and penetrated into Lin Qiao's body.
With the disappearance of the fog, the godhead also lost its luster, and fell directly to the ground, just like ordinary stones, torn apart.
Lin Qiao was stunned: "What's the matter?"
Arthur flicked the fragments with his tail: "Oh, this is the idea of the Creator God, fulfilling Jojo's wish."
Lin Qiao: "?"
Arthur: "In this world, there will be no gods."
Lin Qiao: "What about you?"
Arthur's feathers fell off one by one, his tail disappeared, his red hair swayed slightly, only his golden eyes remained the same.
He said, "I'm the same as Jojo."
Lin Qiao touched it immediately.
The tail, the wings, the horns of the black goat...all gone.
Arthur has become an ordinary young man, the only unusual thing is that he looks extraordinarily good-looking.
Lin Qiao didn't know that things would turn out like this, and stared blankly: "...I'm sorry."
Arthur tilted his head: "Why are you sorry?"
Lin Qiao: "I didn't know that you would also lose the power of a god..."
Arthur said honestly: "Those powers... are hard, I don't like it."
His strength comes from pain and despair, which means that he is tormented by negative emotions every moment. Now that the power of the abyss is gone, he also feels unprecedented ease.
and……
Arthur held Lin Qiao's hand: "I want to be the same as Qiao Qiao." There was no strange part on his body anymore, "Now, it's the same."
Lin Qiao's eyelashes flickered, she didn't know what to say, she just felt a surge of complicated emotions, and even her eye sockets became moist.
"Arthur..."
Arthur: "I'm here."
There is nothing to say next.
The two figures gradually moved closer together, and finally cuddled tightly.
Sporadic voices came out.
"Jojo..."
"Ok?"
"Can you teach me one more time?"
"what?"
"Just last time."
"..."
"is it okay?"
"..."
"I'm not a god anymore, can Jojo kiss me?"
"Are the two related?"
"is it okay?"
"...Yes, anything!"
