Under the Root

The feeling of muscle tearing was instantly conveyed to my mind.With one punch, half of his face exploded.

A big hole was punched in the head.Tick, tick, bright red blood sprayed out.

"You seem to be distracted." Putting away his fists, Alaya's voice was not excited by gaining the upper hand.

"Yes." Hakoro said.The black mist spread, filling the wounded place of the giant.Soon, an intact giant reappeared.

The great god is immortal, although he doesn't know the reason, but this fact is certain.

"Because of what?" Alaya just asked flatly, ignoring such a desperate resilience.

"Because of remembrance." Hake Oro replied.

"You, don't you hate us?"

"I never hated humans." Hakoro never hated humans, and the curse was only given because the power of the Great God was uncontrollable.Human nature is a chaotic thing with infinite possibilities.Whoever hates all because of one possibility is already insane. "So, I will fight with you until a long time. I hope that one day, when time wears away your hatred, we can have a good talk." A sincere expression appeared on his face, haha Keolo continued.

He had no intention of destroying it from the beginning.

He just accommodated it.Helping it vent its century-old hatred.

but.

"...I don't hate you." Alaya said.

"Huh? How come?" Hakoolo was puzzled.

"I fight with you only because of our hope." His face continued to be flat, but the giant of light raised his left arm.Visible to the naked eye, the fist was reorganized under Alaya's will, forming a two-pronged spear.

Then, without waiting for Hakoro to react.The Giant of Light disappeared instantly.

"The speed of light."

Accompanied by the giant's low murmur, a sharp pain emanated from Hakoro's chest.From the back of the great god, the spear of the reorganized giant passed through his chest.

And the next moment.

"Intrusion."

The two giants fell into a standstill at the same time.

----

"Is this...the place of the soul?"

Falling on the ground, Hakoolo murmured at the scene in front of him.

In the sea of ​​stars spreading across the entire sky, amidst the silence, there are butterflies of light flying by.The impossible scenery on the ground is displayed here.

"Yes, this is the gap, the dividing line with the present world. It is also the place where we talk."

Walking along the sea of ​​stars, the Giant of Light reappeared in human form.

Different from Li Lin's face.Black hair, black eyebrows, facial features that are not delicate but not ugly.It was the face of a fairly ordinary, ordinary human being.

Quite naturally, Alaya sat beside Hakoro.

"Say hello again. Hakoro."

"Well, hello, Alaya."

"We don't hate you. At the moment we were cursed, we were evil, without hatred. Now we are assembled, and there is no hatred." Continuing to get to the point, Alaya said. "But the Great God is an uncontrollable force. If such power continues to be held by you, our lives will undoubtedly be threatened. This is not allowed. Therefore, eliminating the Great God is our top priority."

"... Such a reason. It's really human." At first, he showed a look of incredulity, but then Hakoro smiled wryly.

Power is sin.Now it seems that what I think is too simple.As a group, Alaya's humanity has become extremely simple.

but.

"I am immortal." Hakoro said again.

"I know." He looked at Hakoolo who refused indifferently.Alaya pulled out a metal box from nowhere. "But it's not impossible."

"Let me ask you, Alaya is a collection of human beings, but is ICEMAN human?" Alaya asked.

"You..." As if realizing something, Hakeoro's face finally became serious.And then he sighed. "I do not know either."

"No, only you know." Alaya pressed the button of the box.

The familiar metallic sound echoed in the land of souls.

[The scanning at the quantum level is completed, the user is in the Schrödinger state, and the black box cannot be opened. ]

[Please confirm the physical condition of the user. ]

"Schrödinger?" Hakoolo was stunned.

"The decision is made by the great gods or by humans. It is always only you. Hake Oro," Alaya said.
