I am God!

Chapter 336 The Aircraft That Breaks Through the Darkness
A woman holds a candlestick and walks up a narrow, steep staircase.

"Da da da!"

The shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the slate.

The stairs rotate from the inside of the building to the top. Judging from the internal structure, this should be a tower.

Elena took off her armor and put on the priest's robes of the Temple of Truth.

It really looks like a pious apostle guarding the temple.

When she went out, she put on a flax-colored cloak to keep dust out of her robes, and the Ruhe sword still stayed with her, hiding under the cloak with only the hilt exposed.

Elena raised her head and walked up step by step.

The ladder is simply too high.

Halfway there, I couldn't see the top when I looked up, and it was pitch black when I looked down, as if there was no bottom at all.

Elena didn't stop, didn't say any words of exclamation or complaint, and didn't use supernatural power to fly; she just kept going up, towards the top of the tower.

Finally, she reached the top of the tower.

"Crack!"

She put down the candlestick in her hand.

She propped her hands on the stone, and her eyes were a little bright under the reflection of the candlelight; but when a gust of wind blew, the fire was quickly extinguished and turned into wisps of smoke.

Looking down from the top of the city, crystal lights lit up everywhere in the darkness.

There are layers of buildings of different heights. The upper half of these buildings are shining brightly under the light, while the lower half is plunged into darkness; only when you look far, can you see the faint candlelight and the house of demons in the darkness.

Between buildings, chain bridges, corridors, and tunnels run through the city.

This tower is the tallest building in the city. When Saint Tito passed by, he saw that this tower was connected to the bottom of the sea and was higher than the sea.

It used to be called the Tower of Jessel.

It used to be the guiding light and sign of the Jessel Waterway in the Kingdom of Shiinsa, but now few people know the real name of the tower, and the demons call it the Moon Tower.

Because when other crystal lights in the city go out, the lights of this tower will light up.

And when it is bright, it looks like the moon.

Perhaps there is another layer of deep meaning.

Jesser was once called the Prince of the Moon, and his name means moonlight.

Elena looked at the city, the people walking out of the corridor, and the two chatting figures sitting on the chain bridge.

"People here have everything."

"They can also use miracles."

"Everyone here has a role to play, they all know what to do, they all have responsibilities."

"so."

"I came back just to return to my hometown?"

Elena crossed the distance of space and time, and finally returned to her hometown, Demon King City.

But when she came back, she didn't know what to do.

"What is the meaning of my coming back?"

There are no enemies here, no crisis.

Elena looked at her sword, her best weapon; she can integrate with metal, swords, and spears, she can transform into a metal titan, and she is born with the talent for fighting.

If there is an enemy in front of her, no matter how powerful she is, she dares to swing her sword.

No matter how powerful the opponent is, she can still fight to the last moment, even if it turns into flesh and blood, she will cut off an arm of the opponent.

Even the gods in the world, those so-called mythical existences.

In her eyes, there is only one god.

That is Insay.

Ledlich was her ancestor, and she was descended from the eldest son of King Ledlich.

But her sword is not needed here, only a temple is needed; Elena finally found an answer that is not an answer, but at least she can convince herself.

"Maybe there was no meaning in the first place, maybe coming back is a kind of meaning."

"This kind of life seems to be good."

"Tranquility, peace and stability."

"For everyone, this is already very good."

Elena stood at the Giant Tower of Jesser for a while, and was about to go down, but when she was about to leave, she suddenly looked to the other side.

She bypassed the base wall supporting the large crystal lamp, and came to the other end of the tower.

There was a strange monster there.

He was resting against the wall, as if asleep, lying motionless.

Next to the demon stands a strange machine.

That machine has a pair of wings, a chain structure, wheels, and a fan blade at the back.

Following Elena's gaze, the lying metal puppet felt something, moved suddenly, and immediately looked up at Elena.

After discovering who the other party was, he shook his sleepy head with his hands, and said formally to her.

"So it's the apostle Elena!"

Elena looked at the machine and asked the other party.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that Elena was interested in his work, the devil immediately stood up and introduced it to Elena.

"This is a machine I built, but I haven't figured out what to call it yet."

The ghost doll was fiddling with the unfinished chain and the pedals.

"Look!"

"As soon as you step on the empty pedal, the chain will turn, driving the wheel behind."

"Immediately, the last fan blade will turn."

Elena: "And then?"

The demon said excitedly: "Then?"

"Then you can fly."

When he said this, he was very relaxed, with a hint of showing off.

As if to say.

Such a simple principle, such an obvious thing.

You can't see it?
In the past, Elena might be able to easily see through the principle of such things, but now she has almost forgotten everything.

According to what he said, Elena looked at this weird machine again. Although she didn't understand the principle, she seemed to understand what the other party wanted to create.

"So you wanted to build a flying tool."

"It's just that this place is so big, walking is enough, what's the use of being able to fly?"

The demon shook his head: "Of course it's not used in the city, but used outside."

"I'm going to fly on it!"

"Fly out of this darkness!"

"Jump out of the boundless sea of ​​sand."

After hearing what the demon said, Elena finally showed interest in her eyes.

She took two steps forward, the demon's figure was a bit short, two heads shorter than Elena's, and could only reach her chest.

In addition, Elena's own aura is so domineering that the devil involuntarily took two steps back.

In this way, the distance becomes the same again.

The other party leaned directly against the wall, as if there was a scourge in front of him.

Elena stopped in her tracks: "It's okay, I'm a little interested in what you said."

"But I have a doubt, how do you cross the storm outside?"

"Neither this machine of yours, nor yourself, can possibly pass through that terrible storm."

The puppet didn't know why he was afraid of the apostle Elena in front of him, it was like instinct; as if the other party was walking towards him aggressively many years ago, and he was at a loss like a child who was caught.

But as soon as Elena asked a question, he immediately stood up straight and answered solemnly like a trained soldier.

"I found out long ago."

"Every time the city floats up, the storm will not appear immediately, there is a short period of time gap."

"And the storm starts on the inside and spreads out, pushing everything outside out."

"so."

"I just need to calculate the time and leave early."

"Rushing out of the city at that moment, as long as I am fast enough, I will definitely be able to rush out; even the pressure of the initial storm will help me push me out."

The demon spoke out his plans and plans, which sounded a little risky, but it also made people feel a little bit excited.

Elena asked him: "If you didn't rush out, wouldn't that be your life?"

He said: "I think the success rate is very high, at least it is worth a try."

Facing Elena, he said with some embarrassment.

"and."

"At present, my aircraft has never flown, and I have never even flown out of this darkness, let alone other things."

"Let it fly first and then talk about it!"

Elena looked at his machine and said something.

"I like your idea."

The demon puppet became excited, and Elena's words seemed to hit the depths of his heart, and he was very eager for the affirmation of others.

Especially, this is Elena.

"Lord Elena!"

"You think we should go out too, don't you?"

"The outside world is so big, why should we stay here!"

"We used to have many cities and many companions, why should we stay here now."

Elena didn't know why he was so excited, he was not so excited when he saw himself, but he danced because he recognized his thoughts.

But what the demon said moved Elena's mind.

She asked the other party: "When will your machine be ready?"

"Do you need me to help you? Or are you missing something?"

All the ghost doll wants is approval, and he's full of energy right now.

"No!"

"I don't lack anything, I've planned for it long ago."

He fiddled with his bag, taking out one tool after another.

"Soon, soon, I can do it soon."

"I've already designed it and made all the parts, and I'm here to assemble it here."

"Because this is the highest place in the city and the most suitable place to take off, I plan to build a platform here and fly down from it."

The demon puppet chattered endlessly: "Ms. Elena!"

"I will show you when the time comes, and watch me fly on it and fly into the sky."

The demon puppet subconsciously called out this name.

Ms. Elena is not called by ordinary people, nor is she qualified to call her like that.

Unless this person had a very familiar relationship with Elena.

It was her former student, or a junior.

For example, Original Sin Cthulhu Xiao.

This former third-generation apprentice of the Temple of Truth, he called her Ms. Elena.

While the puppet was moving, Elena suddenly saw a mark on his hand.

The moment this mark appeared, Elena noticed it.

Seal of the Temple of Truth.

When these demon spirits were transformed, they kept a lot of things from the past, as if they were telling themselves that there were some things that could not be forgotten.

This imprint can prove many things.

perhaps.

Long ago, he was also a student of the Temple of Truth, one of the priests.

It is possible that it is still a student taught by Elena herself.

Elena asked the demon: "What's your name?"

The demon replied: "Thunder!"

Thunder refers to the sound of an explosion caused by lightning.

Elena raised her head and looked at the darkness above her head.

"thunder?"

Is he really called this name, or is he saying that he wants to turn into thunder and tear the darkness above his head.

Will this person in front of him become a thunder from the darkness?

-

Elena returned to the Temple of Insai, but she always remembered about Lei.

When cleaning the temple and praying, she sometimes thinks about it.

Is Ray's flying machine ready?

this day.

There was sudden commotion outside, and all the guards in the palace rushed out.

One after another, the demon dolls walked from the building to a high place, looking at the sky.

A strange machine flew down from the tower of Jesser, wobbly at first, but soon steadied itself.

It hovers in the city, sometimes falls, and sometimes flies high.

Turned round and round over the city.

"Look!" The metal dolls pointed to the sky and sighed.

"It's that guy Lei, he's making his machine again." Someone saw the person on the machine and immediately recognized him.

"It's over, he will definitely be punished by the guards again." Someone saw the guards walking out of the palace.

The demon puppet named Lei stepped on the pedals hard to control his aircraft to fly.

The wings swept across the wind, and the fan blades at the back were rotating rapidly, making a humming sound.

This dark world also has air, and there will be a sound like breathing from all directions, and the wind comes from there.

Lei sensed the direction of the wind, adjusted his aircraft, and kept getting familiar with the machine.

He shouted excitedly.

Cheers, jump for joy.

"Ooh!"

"I'm flying~"

"I'm finally flying!"

"I can go out now!"

Finally, he hovered in the center of the city, shouting to the people below.

"Lady Elena!"

"The great lady Elena, the apostle of God Insa."

"I've lived up to your expectations, I've built the machine and I'm going to actually set sail on the last day of the month."

"When the time comes, please come and watch!"

Ray was overjoyed, and overjoyed.

The voice trembled, like a child having fun.

However, when he fell.

A group of guard figures immediately surrounded him and told him that he was arrested for violating the city's prohibition and would be locked up for three days.

He was punished for being too close to the palace and the inverted pyramid.

Fortunately, he didn't fly directly over the inverted pyramid, so it wasn't really a big crime.

He seems to know this too.

When he was captured by the guards, he still had a hippie smile and didn't care.

He knew how long the other party would lock him up, and he also knew that he would be released soon.

When he was arrested, he didn't have the consciousness of being arrested at all, and waved to the people around him like a hero.

"Look!"

"I'll make it, I'll fly."

"I want to live under the sun."

"I'll be back when the time comes, and I'll tell you what it's like outside, and I'll tell you what it's like to live in the sun."

In the temple, Elena's spiritual power was released, and she could see Lei's every move from a distance.

Seeing his outrageous behavior, the corners of his mouth just twitched.

But when she saw Lei really fly, Elena was very happy for him.

The serious she actually smiled, perhaps because she felt a kind of intimacy with this monster doll.

she intends.

Even if Lei is really trapped in the storm in the end, she will rescue him.

A month in this era is much shorter than that in the first era, but the kingdom of demons has its own time calculation method.

On the last day of every month, this city buried at the bottom of the endless sand sea will float up once, which is what Oran saw before.

Soon, that day will come.

On top of the tower of Jessel, Ray inspects his flying machine.

Until the end, he didn't give his machine a name. He seemed to have a serious difficulty in choosing; and the name was not like data or machine. It was hard to say which one was better, and he couldn't choose at all.

It was Elena who said something, and it was called the aircraft.

Although Lei felt that this name was too common, he didn't dare to say the word bad in front of the great Ms. Elena.

So the name of the aircraft was decided.

"There should be some improvement here. It should be thicker here. The original calculation was a bit inaccurate."

"It's too late, it's the only way."

"Should be enough."

Lei checked his machine while constantly expressing his thoughts; he and Elena, who said nothing most of the time and always had a serious face, had completely different styles.

Elena seemed to feel that he was noisy and talkative, so she took the initiative to ask him a question.

"Why do you want to go out?"

"Did you want to get out from the beginning, or was it because of something that happened?"

Lei stopped what he was doing and scratched his iron skull.

"why?"

"It seems that such an idea came out of nowhere!"

Lei turned his head and saw Elena grinning, he seemed to be smiling.

"But once it appeared, I couldn't restrain it at all.

"One day I was walking on the covered bridge, and the light was shining on me, and I suddenly had this idea."

The metal puppet stood up, grabbed the tool and reached out to the sky.

He seemed to have returned to that day again, and said excitedly.

"Look at it!"

"It's light."

"The light overwhelmed me. The light was really bright and warm. It was so bright."

"Under the power of light, the darkness is so vulnerable that it is instantly torn apart."

"I was like, why am I living in the dark?"

"I'm going outside, I'm going to live in the sun."

Female knight: "Is it not good here?"

"Although it's a bit dark here, it's hard to see the sun."

"But there's everything here. It's a paradise with no troubles and no crises."

Lei shook his head: "I can bear the darkness here, if..."

"I've never seen the sun."

"But when that beam of light shines on me, it's different."

"I can no longer live in the dark."

Lei put away the tools and packed them into the package he was carrying.

At this time, an exception appeared.

The whole city seemed to be trembling slightly, as if it was moving.

Ray knew immediately what was going to happen, the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived, and he had spent so long for this day.

He boarded his aircraft, tied himself to it, and said to Elena.

"Lady Elena!"

"I'm leaving."

Elena seemed to be still thinking about what he just said, and only now raised her head and said something to him.

"What you said makes sense, but not everyone thinks so."

Ray: "So now, I'm the only one on the aircraft."

"But when I come back, there will be more people."

"They don't want to leave just because they don't know what it's like out there."

"What's wrong with wanting a better life, wanting to pursue the sunshine, wanting a better future?"

At this time, Lei didn't look like an out-of-the-box teenager at all, but he really became a priest of the Temple of Truth.

"Don't do it, just because you don't dare to think about it."

Lei sat on the aircraft and patted his chest hard: "Now, I'm telling them that they should think about it this way."

The aircraft slid down from the giant tower of Jesser along the built platform.

The aircraft circled over the city, and Lei sat on the aircraft and waved to Elena on the giant tower of Jesser.

Elena stood on the tower and looked at him, that gaze gave him great encouragement.

He flew around the giant tower and turned to a node.

then.

The aircraft began to climb towards the sky.

Lei stepped on the pedal hard, and his body began to lean forward.

"Hurry up... hurry up..."

His eyes were full of anticipation, looking towards the darkness high above.

Although the whole world is still shrouded in darkness, he knows it.

soon.

The light is coming.

He wants to break through the darkness and go to a world of light.

"quick!"

"The door is about to open."

Ray yelled directly, that he would hit the high barrier soon, if the exit was not opened; but he seemed to have calculated when the door would open, without any fear.

at last.

A door opened high above, and it kept expanding.

The first ray of light shone down from above, tearing through the boundless darkness.

The light shone on Ray and his craft.

At this time, he is the only protagonist in the darkness, and all eyes are on him.

He broke through the door and emerged into the outside world.

Lei raised his head, bathed in the dazzling light.

He jumped out of the horizon, looking at the world under the sun, looking at the boundless golden desert.

The clouds in the sky are white, and the earth has no boundaries.

This world has no boundaries, you can go in one direction and move forward infinitely.

He opened his mouth wide.

"outside world."

"I `m coming out."

He didn't stop, but speeded up and rushed forward. He wanted to rush to the outer layer before the storm became stronger.

He is full of expectations, and he believes that he will succeed.

He imagined the picture of the outside world, imagined the scene of returning to the kingdom of demons again.

just.

When he got away from the edge of Demon Abyss King City, he suddenly stopped moving.

He found himself unable to move.

Like a machine that has lost its power.

His body was extremely stiff, as if he had been frozen.

He looked at his body with a stiff head, and rust marks appeared on the originally smooth and shiny metal doll's body.

The rust condensed layer by layer, and his consciousness became more and more blurred.

"Eh? What's the matter?"

"my body……"

"Why did it become like this?"

Lei didn't understand, he had never expected this situation before.

But he probably understood.

Failed myself.

Lei turned his head to look at the city in the darkness, as if he wanted to see the figure on the giant tower.

He cared very much whether the other party showed a disappointed expression to him.

But the distance was too far, and he couldn't see anything.

He was a little sad, feeling that he was really ashamed.

"Great Lady Eleanor!"

"I showed you a farce."

After the voice fell, Lei fell into darkness.

Before the aircraft had time to rush into the storm, it began to fall from the sky.

Lei successfully rushed into the sky and successfully sent his own voice to the city.

Like a thunderstorm.

However, it was just thunder.

Not even an electric light that illuminates the world for an instant.

-

The aircraft slipped from a height.

It fell on the edge of the floating city.

The terrifying storm raged outside, the black hurricane devoured everything, and terrifying shadows wandered in the dark hurricane.

The moment the aircraft fell, Elena's figure appeared on the edge of the city.

She walked up to the crashed craft.

The aircraft has been broken into several pieces, and the rusty metal doll is buried shallowly in the yellow sand.

Elena dug out the metal doll from the yellow sand, and hugged Lei who was a bit petite.

It's like holding a sleeping baby.

Elena patted the sand off his body: "Storm and darkness can't stop you, it's other things that stop you."

"thunder!"

Elena was ready to rescue Ray from the storm when he was caught in it.

But she, like Ray, hadn't thought of it.

What really prevented them from leaving here was not the black storm.

She put Ray in front of his beloved aircraft, leaning against the wing of the aircraft, and then went to find his tool bag.

But when looking for the tool bag, Elena suddenly kicked something over.

"Clap!"

Elena looked over, only to find that it was the wreckage of a dilapidated aircraft.

She just hit it.

It's the left wing of the aircraft.

It wasn't the one that fell just now, but the one that fell on the edge of the city a long, long time ago.

Most of it was buried and decayed, with only one wing exposed.

This is the edge of the city, a very dangerous place, and few people usually want to come here.

Elena's consciousness swept further away.

Then I saw the wreckage of several aircraft buried under the yellow sand.

Elena suddenly understood.

It is not the first time that Ray has left the city in an aircraft.

But he has never really left the darkness once.

Elena looked deep into the kingdom of demons, and looked at the inverted pyramid.

"pyramid!"

-

After a moment of light, the Kingdom of Demon Spirits fell into the depths of darkness again.

in the dark.

Circles of light emanated from the inverted pyramid, and the light passed over the doll lying on the giant tower of Jesser.

The rust on the puppet's body faded away, and in the depths of the dead mind, the fire of consciousness shone again.

After a long time, the puppet moved a little bit.

"what!"

"what!"

"Yeah!"

He opened his mouth and made a creaking sound like a child.

It took a long time before he had a general consciousness. When he moved around, he saw the mark of the Temple of Truth on his arm.

"I... I... am"

"I'm Ray."

But except for this sentence.

He couldn't even say anything else.

The metal doll stood up and walked down from the top of the tower.

He felt it.

In the distance, in the center of the city.

There is something that attracts me.

He will return to the temple again and learn writing from the writing tablet again.

Then go back to your own workshop and relearn the magic spells engraved deep in the demon spirit's body.

He will make friends again, get to know this kingdom of demons again, hear those ancient myths and legends again, and listen to other people's stories about the knights of the golden helmet and the apostles of the gods.

Maybe someday.

The light from the top of his head sprinkled on his body, refracting a dazzling light.

He will make a shocking sound, dancing and shouting.

"Look at it!"

"There's a light out there, a bright light."

"The light is so beautiful, warm and bright and sparkling, I'm going to see where it's coming from."

This is the life of the demon doll named Lei.

　It's the end of the month, please cast your vote, there will be double this month.
