Close your eyes and become the strongest adventurer

Facing Audax's fatal palm.

Although Xuanyuan's eyes were open, he had no time to react, nor did he have the opportunity to react.

In the slow world, Audax's giant palm slapped Xuanyuan's head at a speed faster than the speed of sound.

Just before Audax was about to smash Xuanyuan's head with a palm.

Audax suddenly realized.

The Xuanyuan in front of him, at some point, had turned into Bella, who was smiling and waving at him.

The moment he saw Bella, scenes from Audax's human period began to emerge in his mind uncontrollably.

At this moment.

It was as if a nerve in his mind suddenly broke.

It was like an active volcano that had been suppressed for hundreds of years, and finally found a breakthrough outlet.

The emotions in Audax's heart that originally belonged to humans were like tender green grasses that broke out of the ground one after another on the dark plain burned by wildfires.

Waves of amplified emotions erupted violently like a volcanic eruption.

The introversion and inferiority in childhood, the longing to become the strongest in the world, the high spirits after obtaining the talent of [Wish], the setbacks, difficulties and growth following the "guidance of fate", the pursuit, debate and persistence after meeting Xuanyuan, the regret of stepping into the darkness after making the wrong choice, and the endless despair of being tortured by physical pain to the point of mental collapse.

In all the moments, only Bella was always with him.

In the previous life, Odax never understood.

Or, he was confused by the visible goal of "the strongest in the world" and ignored the true feelings from the bottom of his heart.

Until that day, when he faced the invincible despair, Bella still chose to stay with him and bear the huge price of this mistake with him.

Odax realized the truth in his heart for the first time.

Under the terrible torture and obstruction of the orc prime minister, Bella, who had not touched Odax within ten minutes, could not take the initiative to remove the talent.

Bella could not bear to continue to watch the orc prime minister continue to torture Odax with all kinds of cruel and terrifying means.

She could only cry and beg Audax not to continue insisting. She was willing to accept the revenge and torture of the orc prime minister, and just wanted to die with Audax.

Audax was unwilling to give up.

Instead, he surpassed the unimaginable limit of human willpower again and again, and only wanted to persist until the moment Bella was rescued.

Because, until then, Audax finally realized it belatedly.

What he really wanted in his heart was never "the strongest in the world", but Bella's recognition of him from the bottom of his heart.

The strongest in the world that he always wanted was not his real wish at all.

He was actually just inferior in his heart, and he always wanted to be recognized and tried to prove that he was worthy of Bella. What he really wanted in his heart was actually a happy and happy life with Bella.

It turned out that he didn't need the so-called strongest power in the world at all, and he didn't really want to be the strongest in the world.

At this moment, Audax was completely overwhelmed by all kinds of human emotions.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the words that Xuanyuan had said to him when he was still a human being at this moment.

"Audax, I want to ask you."

"Why do you want to be the strongest in the world?"

--

"Don't pursue this goal just for the sake of being the strongest in the world."

"The result is always short-lived, only the process is the key to life experience and growth."

--

"If, you can only have room for desire."

"At the end of this desire, you may have reached the destination by chance."

"But you will also lose forever the most precious thing you have always had."

"Until the moment you really lose it, you don't even realize that you have always had it."

Audax felt very strange.

I obviously didn't remember it deliberately, and I was even quite impatient when I heard it at that time, so I felt very disgusted.

But at this moment.

These words suddenly echoed in my mind.

Every sentence is so clear, and every word seems to have been deeply imprinted in my heart.

Unconsciously, Audax was already in tears.

It turns out that the words that Teacher Xuanyuan used to nag at me in the past were not useless as I thought.

Teacher Xuanyuan is right.

Just as the prophecy said, he will point out the path to both light and darkness for me.

In fact, Teacher Xuanyuan has repeatedly warned me and has been reminding me tirelessly, trying to make me wake up on the spot and realize my own intentions.

He has repeatedly given me opportunities for my stubbornness.

But I have always been immersed in the arrogance of self-righteousness and ignorance, living in a fantasy world of self-imagination, and thus turned a blind eye to Teacher Xuanyuan's advice.

In an instant.

Odax felt a huge grief sweeping over his soul.

It has become the strongest in the world and finally realized its past dream.

However, it was at this moment.

Odax finally realized.

Even if he became the strongest in the world, it would not mean anything to him.

When he stood at the end of the strongest in the world, he could no longer find her existence.

In a world without you, what is the point of becoming the strongest in the world?

Wrong, I was wrong from beginning to end.

Ridiculous, I once thought that it would be good to be the strongest in the world if I could walk on the dark path.

I didn't understand until now.

Even if he is reincarnated as the king of the dungeon, he cannot deceive his heart.

It turns out that I have always had the precious thing I longed for, but I have always turned a blind eye to it.

The huge guilt he felt towards Bella caused Audax's fatal palm, which was originally aimed straight at Xuan Yuan's head, to fall in the air involuntarily.

The palm wind that split the sky shattered the entire white clouds and thick fog in the sky in an instant.

Suspended in mid-air, Audax covered his head in pain.

As if schizophrenic, he kept switching between a deep voice and a normal voice, talking to himself crazily:

"Ahhhh~~!!!"

"I am the supreme king of the end, and I have tasks that I must complete!"

"But, in this world without her, what's the point of completing the mission?"

"No, you weak-minded fool, we have to complete the mission! Why don't you think about it from another perspective."

"What's the point of continuing to exist in this world without her?"

"The reason why life has forced you into the situation you are in today, and the source of all the tragedies and pains in your life, is not all because of other people, because of the environment, because the world has its own problems, and so do you. It’s forced, isn’t it?”

"It's not your fault, it's other people's fault, it's the society that's wrong, it's the world that's wrong, it's the fault that it didn't give you the right to choose!"

"We might as well destroy this world full of filth, pain and despair with our own hands, and let the whole world bury Bella with her."

"You don't want to live anyway, so you might as well bring the whole world with you to be buried with you. At least you can vent the pain in your heart, right?"

Talking to myself here.

Under the sudden impact of human emotions, Audax's mind almost collapsed, as if he found a life-saving straw and a backbone.

"Yes, yes."

"I should let this wrong world bury her with her."

"I want to completely destroy this world. It's all this world's fault!"

"Yes, I had no choice. I was forced. I was helpless. I never did anything wrong!"

Audax had just made up his mind.

He didn't notice that Xuan Yuan in front of him had already received extremely precious reaction time.

Xuan Yuan didn't know why Audax was so close to him.

Why was he still alive at this time and not killed on the spot?

However, Xuan Yuan had no time to doubt, no time to be surprised, or even time to think.

He did not waste this rare 0.1 second.

Subconsciously activated the second talent - [Fight to the Death]!

The moment when he tried to start a [death battle].

Time stands still.

Audax's movements and words stopped, the wind in mid-air stopped, and even his movement in the high altitude stopped.

The whole world can no longer hear any sound.

Suddenly, in this silent world, a heartbeat gradually sounded from weak to strong.

The sound of his heartbeat finally became extremely loud, as if it was going to shatter his whole body and soul on the spot.

This voice bursts out from the deep inside one after another.

At this moment, Xuan Yuan even had time to realize it.

It is completely different from the feeling of [Automatic Guide], which is like giving instructions to something in the void, and then getting some kind of uncontrollable reaction.

[Death Battle] is more like something inside yourself, trying to break out of its shell at this moment.

Amidst the extremely violent heartbeat.

Xuan Yuan felt like his heart was being pressed by the terrifying weight of the entire world. The world was full of infinite restraints and extreme malice directed at him from all directions.

The discomfort became more and more intense, so much so that even my heart began to throb.

In a daze, Xuan Yuan seemed to have accidentally broken a layer of glass, or as if he had accidentally broken some restraints.

That thing jumped out suddenly.

Under layers of restraints, under almost the entire world's horror and oppression.

It jumped out!

Xuan Yuan slowly closed his eyes.

Noticed Xuan Yuan's movements.

Audax was stunned for a moment when he came back to his senses, and then his face was full of disbelief:

"What's going on?"

"Why can you activate your talent even though you are still under the effect of [Absolute Ban]?"

"Why can't [King of the End] read any of your talents now?"

"No! No!"

"There's absolutely no way this is a talent!?"

"What is this!? What the hell is this!?"

Xuanyuan closed his eyes and did not answer Audax's words.

Countless terrifying dark auras suddenly appeared in the void beneath their feet. These auras came from nowhere and seemed to carry the huge malice of the entire world.

They climbed up viciously along Xuan Yuan's legs, advancing crazily.

Don't know why.

Audax felt an indescribable sense of horror from these dark auras, so much so that it didn't even want to touch the dark auras crawling all over Xuanyuan's body, as if trying to find something.

A dark aura that is extremely terrifying.

Layer after layer, Xuan Yuan's entire body was entangled from the inside out.

These auras that exuded endless malice eventually materialized on Xuanyuan's body as dense chains, passing through Xuanyuan's flesh and blood, locking his hands, feet, eyes, arms, legs and even all the joints of his body.

Then, they slowly faded and disappeared, leaving no wounds on Xuanyuan.

Instead, they turned into stripes filled with mysterious symbols, covering Xuanyuan's entire body.

Layers of dark lines made Xuanyuan's entire body dark, and his face was also covered with irregular layers of dark lines.

Xuanyuan was entangled by dark lines.

His eyes were closed, suspended in the air.

He gently waved his palm towards Audax in front of him.
