Chapter 528 The Enemy of Twilight
Probably Jeffreyla or Nest was slaughtered by "Roland", and the projection of Higgs disappeared like a bubble.

However, just looking at each other for a moment, a strange rhythm was directly embedded in Roland's heart.Along with these strange whispers that kept ringing out, Roland felt an abyss-like tranquility.

That is the power of the flipped [Eternal Sleep] field.For the first time, Roland realized how terrifying this complete mental silence was.

Roland felt his soul becoming heavy.Then he felt himself floating into an unfathomable abyss, and a scented warmth kept patting his face gently.It was as if he were floating in a sea of ​​heat that smelled of roses—a sea of ​​scorching potions whose warm waves broke into foam on shores of brassy fire.

After waking up again, Roland found himself in a strange place.

It was a very huge room, the roof alone was tens of meters high, and it was definitely not inhabited by humans.

Beneath him was a dark brown floor carved with intricate patterns, and the dome that was as high as a church was scattered with colorful colored glazes, which were randomly and messily combined, exuding a strange and wild beauty.

And around him, there are seven or eight funny and irregular tetrahedral bookshelves like inferior pyramids randomly placed. Countless books, large and small, hang on the bookshelves, maintaining a dangerous position at a strange angle. balanced.

Tick.

Tick.

Before he had a better understanding of the surrounding environment, Roland suddenly became aware of the familiar voice constantly echoing in his ears in the extremely silent environment.

—I have been here.

A vague impression made Roland aware of this.

Following the cues of his magnified instinct, Roland immediately raised his head, and successfully found a huge coffin-like clock.

That's right, it appeared suddenly—the coffin-like clock penetrates from the ground to the roof, and even the top has opened the roof and stretched out to the outside world.But when Roland looked up at the cathedral-like dome, he didn't notice that there was anything like a pillar connected to the roof, and the roof with a beautiful curvature was also intact.

The three hands of the wall clock with exactly the same length vibrated at the same frequency and at different paces.It's not like timing, but more like constantly reminding something, sending some kind of signal to the outside world.

[I want to open it——]

After Roland had such thoughts in his mind, a gap naturally appeared on the clock.It seems that Roland can open it directly with a slight lift.

But at this moment, an inexplicable fear hit Roland's mind, and the flowing icy breath gently bit the back of his neck, making everything in front of him extremely clear, but it kept changing as if he was drunk. Far.It kept warning Roland not to open the coffin.

【That is my mission——】

Roland was enraged by a sudden anger without any warning or reason.He let out a horrible scream filled with hatred, and the whole space shook.

First the walls, then the ground, and then those bookshelves and books—instinctively let Roland drive some kind of power to distort everything in front of him, making them melt like cream, flow into one, and then turn into silver Flame, turning the whole world into a sea of ​​flames.The clock was also burned, and the disguise was removed, revealing the coffin below, but the ticking sound did not disappear, but resounded more clearly and loudly in Roland's heart.

Roland stared blankly at the coffin, two lines of tears welling up inexplicably.

There was the sound of cloth strips being ripped.Roland forcefully separated the nailed palms, and the ticking silver-gray blood was flowing, soaking the dim yellow cloth strips.

He roughly tore off the cloth strips wrapped around his eyes, and lifted the coffin with trembling hands.

——Lying in the coffin were two corpses that had been burned by silver flames and changed beyond recognition.

However, Roland could recognize who it was.

"……elder sister."

It was himself and his sister's corpse.

He touched the cheeks of the two corpses with trembling hands and recognized a fact that he had ignored all this time.

That's right, he had already remembered that he and his sister were originally alone.

When she was eight years old, after her mother was killed with an iron pick by the thief in a panic on that rainy day, Roman had gone mad.

Brother, thief, man in black, host, doctor, puppet... In response to her needs, many personalities appeared in her mind to share the pain and excitement she could not bear.At the most, Roman even had seventeen personalities.

Later, after the mental stabilization, after treatment by a psychiatrist and Roman's own efforts to recover, all personalities except Roland have sunk.As her "brother", Roland became Roman's mentor and guide.Even the name was given to him by Roman.

"what……"

Roland opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

——It should have been thought of earlier.Why did my sister disappear out of thin air that night, why did my sister and myself come to Farnes...

Thinking back now... my sister had already come to Farnes back then.Her mission is about the same as her own, both to save Farnes.

However, she failed.

Roland was her and Farnes' second and last chance.

There was nothing in the body named "Roman".If Roland died, it would mean that Roman and the entire Farnese would disappear into the dusk forever.

The fact is that Roland and his sister are one, and their talents should be the same.

From the time he first came into contact with Higgs, Roland's fluid origin had been awakened.But the Eye of Orm thought that this was harmful to Roland, and did not make Roland aware of it, making Roland forget his origin again.

In addition to the mentor, the Eye of Orm is also a saint who has been paying attention to Roland from the beginning.

Just like the settings in the game, the system panel is the gift of the Eye of Aum, the law itself that is sorted out and authorized.Like his mentor, he is Roland's guardian.

Why the Three Saints took good care of Roland from the beginning, why Roland became the elect and the Pope, and what the Three Saints were expecting—at this moment, Roland understood everything.

Contacting Dusk will indeed bring special abilities, but the means of obtaining this ability is to rebirth once with the power of Dusk.

——The hope of the Three Sanctuaries is that Roland can revive Roman, so that the two broken souls can be reunited into a complete one, and the two origins of "fit" and "flow" can be integrated into one.

After obtaining the double authority, Roland can embed himself in the entire Farnese, using the planet as a boat, so that Farnese has the ability to wander freely in the universe, so as to avoid the perception of the twilight species.

"—But, I refuse."

Roland's hand paused slightly, and after a moment of choice between the two corpses, he put his hand on the chest of his own corpse very naturally.

The next moment, Roland's own corpse turned into dust, and under his dim yellow bandage, new flesh and blood grew rapidly.

After he made a choice, the illusion quickly collapsed. The "Blind Prayer" vanished into thin air again.

But this time is different from before, Roland already has the ability to control his Twilight Avatar.He can summon it at any time, and use it to severely injure any twilight species that descends on Farnes with projection.

When Roland opened his eyes again, he returned to Frankfurt.

"Why are you bothering, Roland..."

The avatar of the Eternal Sleeping Mentor appeared behind him at some point, and sighed deeply: "I know your limits. Only your own strength cannot protect the entire Farnese."

"Of course I know."

However, Roland was unmoved at all.

With his back turned to his mentor, he said in a deep voice, "You are right. My words alone cannot save Farnes' fate...but this is an era of mortals."

"I may not be able to change the fate of this world. But I can try to change the fate of all humans in this world. If you regard dusk as the end, all you can think about is how to delay its arrival. But if you regard it as If there is an enemy, I will consider how to defeat it... I will become the enemy of the dusk."

"That's right, we can't defeat the twilight species. But that's only our world, our universe... When Farnes jumps out of this dead zone, we will be able to see more people and more living forces. If If they are also willing to serve me as their master, an infinite number of people can gather around me. Since Dusk has an infinite number, then we will attack them with an infinite number. In tens of thousands of years, tens of millions Years later, there is always hope of winning."

"...Are you going to be immortal, Roland?"

At this time, the Eternal Sleep Instructor seemed to be meeting Roland for the first time: "This means that you will never see your sister—"

"I'll see you there. She'll be waiting for me."

Roland murmured, turned around and knelt down deeply towards the mentor.

"Mentor, please show me the way."

"I want to be the savior, I want to be the spiritual leader of all those who are willing to fight against the dusk...I want to be the emperor."

"I am, the Enemy of the Dusk—"
