Final Trial of Mankind

"It was really dangerous just now. Thanks to entering Huangquan Hirazaka, I was able to avoid your perception." Saiqi walked out from the hole that hadn't been closed, "When I entered Huangquan Hirazaka, I collected souls to form my The way you look—let yourself crash into the web of the soul and be firmly bound."

"So that's it. It seems that the moves really depend on how they are used." Mu Chen, who was surrounded by layers of corpse energy underworld waves, showed a smile that Saiqi couldn't understand, "Thank you for your explanation."

Then, the next moment, Mu Chen's soul also turned into countless aura light clusters and dissipated.

"Do you think I won't use this trick? You did avoid Lao Tzu's perception when you entered Huangquan Biliangsaka, but at the same time you were also blocked from your sight."

Duang!

The destructive aurora tore through the entrance of Huangquan Biliangsaka, hit Saiqi on the back, and sent him flying.

"Boom!" The ground was smashed into a big hole by Sage who fell from the sky, with green smoke rising from his back, he fell to the ground and could not move.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The sound of the golden holy cloth colliding with the ground reached Sage's ears, and it kept getting louder. Then, he felt his neck being grabbed and his whole body being lifted up. .

"If the target is someone who can use the same moves as me, then it is common sense in combat that your sharp blade will become the opponent's sharp blade, understand? But it's not sour, this is not the point, do you know why your moves are ineffective against me? "Looking directly at the Pope who was strangled by himself, Mu Chen said indifferently, "Although there are elements of this trick that I have seen countless times in it, and I still have the blessing of the golden holy cloth, but...my The output attack rate of the small universe is more than twelve times that of yours!"

The value of despair, in other words, the level of effort between Mu Chen and Sai Qi can be said to be worlds apart, no matter how hard Sai Qi struggles, as long as he can't come up with a strange move, then Mu Chen, who knows his moves like the back of his hand, can't Lost to him in strength.

"!!" Suddenly, a small universe appeared on the side, Mu Chen turned his head to look, it was his younger brother - Deftolos who came, but Ashmita was not there, he couldn't even feel the small universe.

"Have you dealt with him yet? Second (Deftelos)."

"..." Pope Sage also turned his gaze wordlessly to Deftolos.

"Then let's take the final step, kill the pope." Mu Chen stretched out his hand to Deftolos, "Come on."

"Crack!" Deftolos moved his right hand back like pulling a string, and his fist with the power to smash the stars of the galaxy attacked the Pope. If he was hit, even if it was Sage, his head would be like Like a smashed watermelon.

Mu Chen just watched this scene with a smile, a glint of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes.

At the moment when Deftolos' fist was about to hit Sage, the trajectory changed suddenly. Not only did the strength of Deftolos' fist not weaken due to the distortion of the trajectory, on the contrary, it was as if the power of the centrifugal force was strengthened. It hit Mu Chen's chest hard.

The golden holy cloth couldn't block Deftolos' fist at all, it was broken easily, and the fist trained by Muchen himself that surpassed the power of the original work directly gave him a knowing blow, the fierce fist pierced through the heart, The heart was blown whole.

Because of the power that erupted from this blow, the mask on Deftolos' face fell off, and the tears left in his eyes could be clearly seen.

Those were the tears of grief for the brother who had to kill himself. Although, taking this as an opportunity, Deftolos will be superior to anyone at this moment by killing his own brother with his own hands. A firm will that will not be shaken by anything.

Of course, it's just a prototype now, and if he wants to truly become unshakable, he still needs to temper himself.

Blood gushed out of his mouth, Mu Chen let go of the left hand that was holding the Pope's neck, and looked at Deftolos carefully, as if he wanted to imprint his brother's face in his heart.

【Well, that's what I planned, but there's really no other way...】

As if helpless, the corners of Mu Chen's mouth curled into an undetectable arc, and the only one who could notice this was Ashmita standing behind Deftolos, because he didn't see it with his eyes, but He felt it with his heart's eye, and because of this, he was able to feel Mu Chen's mood now.

"I didn't expect you to attack me. You obviously hit my Illusory Demon Emperor Fist. Then, in other words, that guy is the one who deserves the credit for this..." Mu Chen shifted his gaze to Deftolos Behind him, Ashmita who did not know when he appeared there said, "I really lost to you, your brainwashing ability is really amazing..."

The next moment, Deftolos' hand piercing through Mu Chen's chest exerted force again, piercing through the golden holy garment behind him, and Mu Chen was also pushed back by that force, hitting the wall heavily.

In order to support his body, whose strength was gradually fading, and prevent himself from falling to the ground, Mu Chen grabbed the piece of cloth behind him.

"... Aspros." Sai Qi, whose face was half red with blood, came to Mu Chen, "The seat of the next pope has already been decided to be yours."

This sentence shocked Deftolos, who was sober after killing his brother.

"Sisyphus has already dismissed the Pope candidate. If everything goes well, I also think that such a decision is a matter of course. As long as you confirm that your heart is not wrong, Mu Chen...why..." Speaking of this, Sai Qi had a sad and indignant expression on his face, "You are going to fall into my trap!!"

"Hey, this kind of thing has been known for a long time, do you think I will be deceived by this level of tricks?" Mu Chen's face showed no grief, no resentment, just expounding the facts.

However, his words shocked the three people including Ashmita.

"It's just, no..." Mu Chen seemed to have let go of all the shackles, and felt his whole body relaxed. Even though his consciousness gradually became thinner, he still did not change his smile, "In short, I will return the Gemini to you. Just a simple betrayer, that's all, but..."

As soon as the voice changed, Mu Chen showed a ferocious expression like a ghost.

"Deftolos, the second child who took my life, become stronger for me, if you can't be yourself, then, even if you are buried in the deepest part of hell, I will destroy it and rush out I'm looking for you to settle accounts... Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh..."

The long blue hair began to change with this free and easy smile. Starting from the end of the hair, it was soaked in white. What changed was not only the appearance of Aspros in the eyes of Ashmida and others, but even his appearance as a The main body Mu Chen's hair color also changed.

In just a short moment, his long azure hair was completely dyed white like snow, and his eyes were also gradually changed, soaked in darkness and turned into jet-black eyes.

After leaving the last words, Mu Chen, who laughed so wildly for the first time since becoming a player, showed a reassuring smile, and then everything came to an abrupt end.

The loss of strength and the disappearance of consciousness caused his body to completely lose the strength to support him. He slowly slipped and fell with his back against the wall, and finally died in a sitting position with his back against the wall, losing his breath of life.

[Is it still free and easy even if you die?Or die without regret, Aspros...]

Because of the blindness of both eyes, the mind eye that can feel everything in the world was accidentally opened, because he has the ability to feel everything in the world and not be blinded by the things he sees with his eyes, therefore, as one of the few people who can understand part of Mu Chen's true thoughts Da thought to himself.

"What is the last thing he wants to say?" Sage watched the death of a soldier sadly, and then said to Deftolos who squatted in front of Mu Chen, "I'm sorry... Deftolos."

"You don't have any reason to apologize to me at all." Hugging Mu Chen, who was also covered in blood gushing out from his heart, he couldn't see his expression clearly because of his bangs, "It's just my heart The result of a hidden inferiority complex."

【A sense of inferiority towards my brother who aims at heights...】

"……where do you want to go?"

"Karon Island. Prepare for the battle that will come one day, I want to make my image stronger... stronger!!" Turning his head, Deftolos showed a hideous expression, "Like a [ghost]! !"

"...Then, you can take away the Holy Cloth of the Gemini. Maybe you haven't thought about wearing it on your body now... But, that moment will definitely come, in your own battle."

042 Resurrection of the Dead

"Haven't seen this place in a long time."

In the inner world, Mu Chen's current consciousness is in this place.

Mu Chen had appeared in this place several times during his cultivation, but this time, there was another person here besides himself.

He knew the figure in front of him, it was Aspulos when he was a child.

"You are……"

"Have you forgotten me?" The boy said with a refreshing smile, "My name is Aspoulos, the one who was replaced by you."

"I see, you are obsessed, Aspoulos's..."

"Ah, that's me."

"I'm sorry, I took over your existence."

"No, it's nothing. I already know what I will do in the future from your memory. You are doing better than me now, and you have paid a great price for my brother Deftolos. Now my younger brother has also stepped onto the surface stage, and even though I myself died, my wish has been fulfilled."

"Why don't you fight with me? If you fight with me, you should still have a chance."

"After all, I'm just an obsession, not the real Aspoulus. Moreover, you are not as bad as you imagined. You are very strong. Even in my heyday, I may not be able to erase your soul. Don't You underestimate yourself too much, you are too deeply bound by yourself, you suppress yourself too much, let go of some useless things."

"...If I could really let go so easily, I wouldn't be so distressed."

"That's right. After all, everyone is different. You are you and I am me. By the way, before I disappear, I want to say thank you to you. I will leave the younger brother to you."

After speaking, Aspulos' body turned into a fluorescent light spot and disappeared into the spiritual space.

"From now on, there will be nothing that binds you in this body. Work hard, inherit my existence, and live with my share!"

"Isn't this a matter of course? How can you give up so easily a wonderful life that you have finally obtained."

--------------------------------

Sanctuary Cemetery.

After Mu Chen's body was taken away by Deftolos, it was buried in the cemetery where saints were buried in the sanctuary.

The tombstone is a simple stone with [ASPROSGOLDGEMINI] engraved on it.

No matter how exciting and brilliant the battles were before... when he died, he was in a state of disarray, worthless, and what was left was just a rotting corpse.

This point, whether it is the world of Godslayer, or this world, will not change.

At this moment, Deftolos was standing in front of Mu Chen's tombstone with a box containing the Gemini golden holy garment. There were petals floating in the sky, but this made the scene even more sad.

"!!" Suddenly, feeling a familiar small universe appearing behind him, Deftolos didn't even think about it, turned around and punched it.

However, his fist was blocked by the extremely powerful Sisyphus who was wearing the golden holy garment.

Having said that, both Sisyphus and Deftolos were wounded, but one was beaten by Mu Chen, the other was beaten by Ashmita, both of them are the strongest in the sanctuary character of.

"Sisyphus...!" For Sisyphus, Deftolos had a kind of hatred, which was also the reason that prompted him to do it.

"It's unexpected..." Sisyphus looked at the familiar but different face in front of him in surprise, and at the same time, the two sides pulled apart a distance, "You really look exactly like Asporus... ..."

"........."

"I heard that you resigned from the Pope...why!?"

"........."

The angry question from Deftolos made Sisyphus fall silent.

"I can't become the Pope, I will be swallowed up by the darkness, and I must make amends for this...and... more suitable talents are emerging." Sisyphus's mind emerged a person who could communicate with the holy cloth. The young saint——Shion of Aries, "I will just finish my duty of protecting them and pass away."

By the way, Shi Ang, who was thrown into another dimension, finally came back by his own strength, and the other one was found by Ashmita.

Well, they are all seriously injured. This is probably the biggest incident in the history of the sanctuary. The Zodiac was used as a dungeon by a mere golden saint. Although the golden saint was killed in the end, but This is not something they solve with strength.

"... Finished..." After hearing this sentence, Deftolos didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly calmed down, then turned his head to look at Mu Chen's tombstone, "Brother said, if I can't be In my own words, even after death, I will come back to look for me. I suddenly felt that the change of my brother may be due to my fault, because I chose to be the shadow of my brother, and because of my inferiority complex towards the brother who has a bright side. In this situation, perhaps, this matter should be my fault from the beginning to the end, am I really the real evil star?"

"Deftelos..."

"However, since my brother said so, then no matter what, I will become stronger, and I must become myself." Carrying the box of the golden holy cloth, Deftolos looked at the distant shore with firm eyes, "I want to draw the outline of myself more strongly, no matter what is in front of me, my self will not be shaken, and I want everything to succumb to my self!!!"

Since then, Deftolos left the sanctuary and went to Caron Island to conduct self-training.

As for Sisyphus, after seeing Deftolos leave, he stayed in front of Mu Chen's tombstone for a while.

"Hey, Aspros, did you already know your own death?"

Sisyphus suddenly thought of going to Delphi to go to the oracle before Mu Chen's temperament changed drastically. After all, he was also experienced. Seeing that kind of shocking future, he almost collapsed.

As Mu Chen's good friend during the same period, he also has a little understanding of Mu Chen's approach. He does many things with his own strong purpose, and this time it doesn't seem like he did it out of pure interest. , Moreover, although he kept saying that he wanted to take down the heads of the Pope and Athena, he didn't kill anyone in the end, at most he was seriously injured, and those injuries were not considered irreversible injuries.

What he did also gave Sanctuary a resounding slap in the face, telling them, these golden saints, to stop watching the sky, the world is still very big, and Mu Chen alone can wipe them all out, so what can be done There must be more people, not to mention, their final opponent is not just the underworld fighter, but the final boss he faces is Hades, the underworld king.

He wondered if what Mu Chen did was deliberately playing the bad guy, simply using the oracle for his younger brother to get out of his shadow.

"However, everything has disappeared with your death, why did you choose this way!! There are obviously many ways!!"

Regarding the death of his friend, Sisyphus said it was impossible not to feel sad, but he controlled it better and did not show it in front of others.

"I have never been able to understand your thoughts. Is this friend of mine unqualified? He clearly said that he wants to create the future together!"

Unknowingly, time passed, Sisyphus kept talking to himself in front of Mu Chen's tombstone, and he didn't leave until another golden saint came.
