God's family

When Roger saw Ulysses, he was still shrouded in a holy halo like when he was first given the bracelet in the temple, unable to see a clear appearance.However, the divine power emanating from him could no longer be suppressed, and it weighed heavily on Roger's shoulders, making him have to use the power of faith that he had recently learned under Jeffrey's guidance, but was not very proficient. force to resist.

The door of the temple closed slowly behind him with a heavy sound. Roger raised his head and looked at Ulysses on the altar without being humble. The admiration and admiration he had pretended before was no longer on his face— —He knew that Ulysses had already seen through his disguise, but he couldn't bear it because the demons hadn't completely faded away. Now, his appearance means that the liquidation will really begin.

"It seems that there is no need to say anything more between us." Ulysses spoke slowly, his voice was cold and heartless, and he no longer had the gentleness and love he had when we met last time.

"I did it only as a last resort, please forgive me." Roger bent his lips, his bright red eyes were as clear as ever, "I don't want to be against you, but some people...or some people I can't let go of what I have." After a pause, Roger spoke again, "If I'm willing to hand over half of the divine fire in my body in exchange for Lacent... can this armor stay with me?"

"...No." Ulysses was silent for a while, and then quickly denied, "I need to get back both the armor and the staff. With them, my divine power is the most complete."

"Then, it seems that there is nothing to say." Roger shrugged his shoulders relaxedly, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit bitter.

"Do you really know what you're doing?" Probably surprised that Roger was so unrepentant, Ulysses couldn't understand it at all.

"I know." Roger smiled slightly, "Actually, if I were a member of the human race, I would like to have a god like you. You have righteousness and are willing to swing your sword at the gods you once believed in for the sake of the human race , but I am only narrow-minded, and I only do this for the people I care about. However, speaking of it, our essence is similar, right? We will both blaspheme for the things we value.”

Roger's words were understated, but they pierced Ulysses' heart like a sharp thorn.The long-buried past was abruptly dug up at this moment, bringing him back to that bloody night, Ulysses' pupils shrank, and in the next second, violent power fluctuations swept across the entire temple, just like him That stirring mood.

Roger frowned slightly, and blocked himself with a wave of his staff.Although the flickering brilliance of the staff formed a protective barrier around him, the robe made by mortals on Roger's body was still unable to resist this force, and was quickly torn into pieces, revealing the black armor underneath.

In Ulysses' eyes, the figure wearing black armor and holding a staff suddenly coincided with the god he once served wholeheartedly. Clarence, to Ulysses, the name represented The end of happiness.

Back then, because he was young and energetic, because he was disappointed and thought he was betrayed, he turned his sword against the god who was like a teacher and like a father and brother. Looking back, it was only when the opponent fled in a hurry with half of the divine fire with all his strength, and then completely dissipated in the world, that he suddenly lost his mind.

Ulysses inherited half of the divine fire, and gradually learned about the ancient history, the mistakes of the gods and the covenant between them in the following years. Lance's disappointment and hatred no longer exist, leaving behind the nostalgia and self-blame buried deep in his heart.

However, Ulysses did not regret, did not regret what he had done before, and did not give himself any chance to regret.He wants to prove that the path he is going to take is correct—gods should protect people instead of just watching—because only in this way can he convince himself that the fall of Clarence is necessary and not meaningless, and he also Not a sinner.

I don’t know how many years, Ulysses has been working hard for this, and this has become the only belief he has survived—to protect the human race and prove his will, not only for the race he loves, but also for the clarence.

Maybe it's just self-deception, but Ulysses really thinks so.

Back then, although he snatched half of the divine fire and Clarence fell because of it, Ulysses himself was not in a good condition.After all, the godslayer with the body of a demigod is not allowed by the rules. He struggled to survive, struggled to build up his divine power step by step, and finally obtained the position of god after several near-deaths and was accepted by the rules. At that time, a long, long time had passed since Clarence's death.

Ulysses did not obliterate the existence of Clarence. The people he sheltered never knew the name Ulysses. In their hearts, their god has always been Clarence and has never changed.Ulysses does not need his name to be celebrated, he would rather that the being admired is still the long-gone Clarence.This is Ulysses's way of atonement, clumsily perhaps, indifferently, but sincerely.

With the position of the human gods, Ulysses has the energy to find the other half of the fire that was taken away by Clarence, as well as the armor and staff of Clarence. He must become stronger, Become a god like Clarence who is strong enough to fight against the gods of other races. Only in this way can he have the strength to realize his ideals and not be afraid of the obstruction of other gods.

Now that he has come to this point, Ulysses can no longer turn back, so he has to continue to move forward step by step, even if he is confused whether the road ahead is smooth or a cliff.

"Clarence..." The violent whirlwind tore the entire temple, and also covered the figure in black armor so that he couldn't see it clearly. Ulysses sighed softly, but his subordinates showed no mercy, even though the figure was so Like Clarence in his memory, even though those firm eyes were so much like himself that once raised a sword towards Clarence.

History always seems to be surprisingly similar. Clarence raised him and then died in his hands. Now, he gave a boy named Roger shelter and divine power, and this boy finally stood up. his opposite.

The strong and divinely supported temple finally couldn't bear the conflict between the two demigods, and collapsed with a loud bang. People who had already noticed that the situation was different looked at the scene in horror. The priests who might have happened were prostrate on the ground, muttering prayers in despair, begging the gods for forgiveness.

The sky was cloudy, as if the end of the world was approaching, and with the collapse of the temple, the more unscrupulous divine power seemed to be able to easily crush everyone's internal organs.Wanting to escape, but unable to move, wanting to shout but unable to make a sound, just when everyone thought that there was no escape, a force suddenly appeared, isolating the energy fluctuations sweeping over the temple, Wrapped, eventually devoured.

In an instant, everything disappeared, and the clear sky shrouded the heads of everyone as before. If the ruins of the temple and the chaos of the place did not prove that the thrill just now had indeed existed, everyone would probably think it was just a dream.

Leon and Theodore, who were alarmed at the first moment, got up and quickly ran to the ruins of the temple. Raphael, Virgil, and Fei also stepped forward hesitantly, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find it. Find any trace of Roger.

"It's God's punishment..." The old high priest tried his best to restrain his trembling hands, and helped his disciple not to raise his head. His voice was very soft, but it was clearly audible in the silence. In an instant, everyone was in commotion. Get up, anxious and at a loss.

Seeing the panic among the people, Leon turned his head to look at Raphael, saw him firmly pursed his lips, nodded and then let out a loud drink, temporarily stopping everyone's panic.

Roger and Lacente don't know where they are going, and they don't know if they can return. Now they must rely on their own strength to stop this turmoil—and this is exactly the meaning of his standing here.Raphael clenched his fists and stepped onto the top of the ruins. Even though he was thinner than Laicent, he had the power to calm people's hearts at this time.

On the mountain peak in the distance, six figures looked at the direction where the temple collapsed, silently.

"I knew that this day would definitely come, but I didn't expect it to come so suddenly." The purple-eyed demon god with long black hair smiled mockingly, gloating a bit.

The mortal blond woman who used her divine power to take the two competing demigods away cast him an indifferent glance, her thin ears trembling slightly.

"Emerald Sinar, who do you think will win?" The short man with a big beard asked the blue-haired woman with a gentle face beside him.The flexible eyes rolled around.

The woman lowered her head, blinked her long eyelashes, and sighed: "Although I think Ulysses has a better chance of winning, I still hope he will lose."

"The human race is always so troublesome. They are obviously the weakest, but they are full of moths!" The strong man scratched his somewhat messy hair and curled his lips impatiently.

"Anyway, this is the human race's own business. All we have to do is wait for the result quietly." The young man with wings shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, yawned lazily, and turned around gracefully.

After a long silence, Emerald Sinar, the goddess of the Sea Clan, took a deep breath and said softly, "Regardless of whether Ulysses wins or not, we can't continue to turn a blind eye to what he has done, otherwise it may cause big trouble."

The rest silently acquiesced to her suggestion.

Although there are constant conflicts among the various races, they are all an indispensable part of building the entire world, and they affect the whole body.Although the covenant was taken into account before, it should be done now.
