Cthulhu Corrosion: Another World Rescue Plan

Ialien blinked.

He seemed to have fallen into a strange dream, watching his life from the perspective of a silver dragon.

This illusion seemed different from all the illusions he had experienced and heard about.

He was like a complete bystander, watching the whole process from a first-person perspective.

At this moment, he was standing in a dark place. Under his feet was dark scorched earth, as if it had been burned by fire all year round. The sky here is also pitch black, as if it is a land abandoned by light.

But in this darkness, there is the only source of light.

That was the silver giant dragon that appeared as the protagonist of the fantasy story. He was covered in wounds and lying weakly on the ground, with a huge bloody hole in his chest.

Ialien, who had just watched the miniature of the silver dragon's long life, felt an inexplicable closeness. He walked up involuntarily and reached out to touch the silver scales of the giant dragon, trying to alleviate some of its pain.

"Knight," the dragon's dragon language sounded in Ialien's mind. Even though he didn't know this mysterious and ancient language, he strangely understood what the dragon meant. "You have just watched my whole life." , now answer me if I made the right choice.”

Ialien pondered for a moment and said, "If it were me in the past, I might have made the same decision."

The obsession that troubles Yinlong may come from the choices made by Yinlong, but is it just that?

Faced with a powerful enemy that he knew he could not defeat, he chose to fight it alone, using the minimum sacrifice to preserve the greatest chance of survival. This choice itself was extremely rational and there was nothing wrong with it.

The Silver Dragon, who has space authority, used his authority the moment Naiya made the threat, and teleported all enemies and himself who would threaten the life of his lover to the darkness of the planet.

And He Himself, as the most direct target of the evil god, chose to fight until the last moment.

However, this choice became the dragon's obsession, and even built an illusion core.

This kind of core that has not formed a complete illusion is extremely rare. I am afraid that Nyarlathotep used some special means to preserve it when the core was just formed and before it was combined with pollution to form a real illusion. But even if it is With the help of the evil god, it is enough to see the resentment in Yinlong's heart.

Ialion could understand the resentment of the silver dragon. He suddenly suffered this disaster while getting along with his beloved, and in order to let his lover survive, he had to face death alone.

Perhaps in addition to resentment, there is also deep regret.

"You in the past? How would you make a choice now?" asked the dragon.

"I promised my lord that without his permission, I cannot do anything that would sacrifice myself or that might harm my own body." Ialion recalled his promise, "Then, my choice Yes, fight with him to the end.”

The silver dragon suddenly laughed. It was an indescribable, twisted smile mixed with pain. The huge dragon head looked particularly twisted and ferocious for an instant.

"Half-elf! Dragons are aloof and powerful creatures. In our extremely long lives, few creatures can accompany us to the end. Countless dragons have to face the situation after choosing a partner they like. To a cruel fact:

Our partner is always the one who leaves the world first, and the dragon family has to face the final withering in the long loneliness and loneliness, in the endless painful and sweet memories.

I was once afraid of such an ending, and even lived alone on the island for a time, not interacting with any living creatures... But when I saw that bright soul in that tavern, I knew that I would ultimately be unable to resist this kind of soul coming from me. The lure of resonance.

I refused his request and refused to become a god because I had already decided that if I had a lover, I would choose to die with him and sleep together in the sea of ​​world consciousness.

But I never expected that I would be the one who left my partner behind and faced death first. "

"Your choice is not wrong." Ialien said seriously, "In that situation, there are only two outcomes: living alone or dying together, and it is precisely because of the sacrifice you made that Lord Moiwu can start the salvation plan. , summoned Mo Yu from another world... and thus saved me."

"But I still left him alone." Silver Dragon closed his eyes in pain and said, "I couldn't protect him until the end, and even became the source of his pain.

I regret that I selfishly made a choice regardless of his wishes. I also regret that I did not have enough strength to protect him and survive.

What’s ridiculous is that the evil god was interested in my dragon bone, which was born to be the cornerstone of God, but I prematurely rejected the possibility of becoming a god... The reason why I didn’t have enough strength to protect my beloved was myself. . "

Ialien silently patted the huge and smooth scales of the silver dragon. He didn't know how to comfort a giant dragon, and maybe this giant dragon didn't need his comfort.

"What caused all this is the evil god who corroded and destroyed this world." Iialien finally said, "And your choice was not wrong... all the pain is just the impermanence of fate...
