It was clear that the sun was bright not long ago, but suddenly, dark clouds surged from all directions, covering the sky and covering the sun, shrouding the entire land in darkness.

The calm bay, which had been so clear not so long ago that it almost blended with the blue sky, suddenly became turbulent.

The storm swept across the sea, and the waves became more and more violent every time.

The huge sapphire seemed to be soaked in blood, and was slightly infiltrated into a blood-red hue.

Soon, amidst the raging storm, the raging waves turned crimson.

In the dim sky, it was shockingly red.

It was as if the blood of a certain god was continuously flowing into the sea, dyeing the entire coast in blood.

With a bang, the rain poured down.

The waves churned more and more violently in the violent storm.

The blood rushed to the coast, engulfed the coast, and continued to spread upwards.

The sea of ​​blood swallowed up the yellow sandy shore almost instantly.

Then, the sea water slowly spread towards the green forest in the distance.

Wherever it went, everything was eroded by it into dazzling blood.

【The blood-red water will cover the entire earth...】

…………

Mia was sitting quietly in the room, staring at the silver-white mask in her hand in a daze.

The sudden shaking woke him up from his stupor.

All around, no matter the tables, chairs or wooden cabinets were shaking, or shifted, or had fallen to the ground.

Surprised, Mia immediately rushed to the balcony to look out.

He saw the town outside, and the surrounding forest all shaking.

The entire earth was shaking, as if an invisible giant hand wanted to tear it apart.

what happened?

Suddenly a hurricane whizzed by, so violent that it seemed to hit him in the face substantially, making him barely open his eyes.

The wind carried a strong smell of sea water.

Mia's heart tightened.

There was an indescribable sense of unease in his heart, and there seemed to be some kind of thick and dangerous aura hidden in the fierce wind.

At this moment, someone quickly climbed up to his balcony and jumped into the room.

"Mia, it seems that there was an earthquake." Fanaya said, "The house is not safe, let's go outside."

Mia stared at the strong wind howling from the direction of the bay.

"I don't feel right."

He said, "Go up and see."

Whether it is the shaking of the ground or the hurricane, the giant tree that is as stable as Mount Tai is constantly shaking.

Mia and Fanaya quickly ran up the swaying giant log along the wooden spiral staircase entwined with vines, and it took a lot of effort to reach the place near the top of the giant log.

It was also the highest point of that forest.

From the observation deck here, you can clearly see the bay outside the forest.

Seeing this, Fanaya was stunned.

The originally blue bay turned blood red again.

What's even more frightening is that the blood-red sea has flooded the coast and is rushing toward the forest at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's a tsunami!"

Mia's suddenly raised voice woke up the stunned Fanaya.

"Fanaya, the tsunami is likely to flood the forest! We must move everyone to the mountain over there as soon as possible!"

Miya raised her hand.

On the left at the end of the forest, there is a hill rising from the ground.

This hill may be too inferior compared to other lofty mountains, but at this moment it is the only place near this forest plain that can avoid the tsunami.

After Mia finished speaking, she directly cut off the clothes on her body with a dagger, and wrapped her palms with cloth strips.

Then, he jumped.

In order to hurry, he directly grabbed the vines hanging from the giant tree, and just slid down.

In a very short time, he slid down the thick green vines and fell to the ground.

Fanaya followed closely behind.

At this time, the dark clouds floating from the bay had covered the sky above the forest.

There seemed to be a gap in the sky, and the flood water poured down from the gap.

In the darkness, the dense rain curtain made it almost impossible to see things half a meter away, and even the hoarse roar would be mostly covered by the sound of the rainstorm hitting the ground.

Fortunately, because of the shaking of the ground, the Hitaya people who were worried that an earthquake would cause the trees to collapse had already come out of the tree house.

At this moment, a group of people stood in the only open square in the middle of the town.

Everyone was drenched by the rain, and they were in a state of distress. In order to maintain their body temperature, they could only stick tightly to their relatives and friends.

"The tsunami is coming to the forest!"

Mia said hastily,

"We must leave immediately! Go to that mountain!"

As he spoke, he reached out to support the elder closest to him.

"Walk--"

"Do not."

A voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"My lord priest..."

"grown ups."

"grown ups……"

Under everyone's gaze, the white-haired priestess walked slowly in front of them.

She was already drenched all over, and her white hair was sticking wetly to her face.

"We're not going anywhere," she said.

The voice of the priestess was obviously not loud.

The sound of torrential rain was clearly deafening.

But this hoarse female voice passed through the rain curtain of the torrential rain and clearly reached everyone's ears.

She stood still in front of everyone, her eyes swept over her clansmen, her eyes were filled with deep sorrow and unknown sadness.

"Time is up."

"The time for the contract between the Hitayas and the gods has come."

"The sins we humans committed thousands of years ago...now, it's time for atonement."

"Now, my people, let's complete our final mission."

After speaking, the priestess bent down and knelt on the ground.

Letting the heavy rainwater hit her body like gravel, she just knelt on the ground, clasped her hands in front of her, as if praying silently.

The dozens of elders looked at each other for a while, and they all showed grief.

Then, like the priestesses, they knelt down.

Close your eyes and hold your hands.

There was occasional low weeping in the sound of the rain. In the heavy rain, many of the drenched Hitaya people were pale and mournful.

But they knelt on the ground one by one, kneeling and praying with their eyes closed, just like their priestesses and elders.

"What are you talking about? The tsunami is coming soon, why don't you leave—"

Anxiously, Mia stretched out her hand to the priestess and was stopped.

"...Let's go, Mia."

Fanaya, who stopped him, looked at him and said in a low voice, "No one will leave here, so go by yourself."

He let out a soft breath in the rain.

He said: "This is the fate that the Hitaya people were doomed thousands of years ago."

After finishing speaking, he gently pushed Mia away, and then he also bent down and knelt down on the ground, lowered his head, and closed his eyes.

This is a contract with God thousands of years ago.

God's prophecy has already decided everything.

This is the fate of the Hittaya.

destined.

Nothing can be changed.

The torrential rain was still falling like crazy.

Except for the sound of rain, there was only silence on the earth.

Mia stood in the rain, the rain fell down his cheeks, and the dark rain blurred his vision.

He looked at the Hittaya who was kneeling quietly on the ground.

These Hitaya waited for their destiny to come.

Fanaya, who has always been persistent and stubborn, closed his eyes and said nothing, even Shiva, who has always been stubborn, looked ashamed and knelt on the ground with a dejected expression.

The torrential rain drenched the surrounding area, penetrating the chill into everyone's bodies, making this land icy cold to the bone.

Miya's eyes became sharper little by little.

He took a stride and grabbed the left wrist of the priestess who was clasping her eyes closed in prayer.

Then, with a strong yank, the priestess was forcibly pulled up from the ground.

"stand up."

Mia stared at the priestess who opened her eyes and looked at him.

"Go, go to the mountain."

"You won't understand. I have already said that this is the fate of my family and cannot be changed..."

"There has never been any unchangeable destiny!"

Mia shouted sharply.

At that moment, he suddenly felt angry like never before.

"Do nothing! How can it change?!"

What he won't understand.

No one understands fate better than him!

He came to this world just to change that so-called fate!

"Although I still don't quite understand what's going on, but if I'm really the Son of God you're talking about...if your Hitaya clan really exists to wait for me and protect me... ..."

Mia took a deep breath.

"Now, immediately, everyone stand up and follow me!"

His sharp gaze swept across the kneeling crowd.

His loud voice overwhelmed the torrential rain and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"This is my order!"

As if hearing something inconceivable, the priestess' eyes widened suddenly, and she was speechless for a while.

From the day she took over as the former priest, from the day she understood the so-called God's contract and the fate of the Hittaya people, she already knew the fate of their clan.

It's just that she never thought of...

Just when the priestess was stunned, a hand came from behind and supported her.

Fanaya, who didn't know when he stood up, supported the priestess, and said, "My lord priest, this is an order from the Son of God that our people have been waiting for for thousands of years."

"The past priests have told us countless times that our clan exists for him."

After finishing speaking, amidst the priestess' exclamation, Fanaya directly picked her up and walked forward quickly in the heavy rain.

The Hittayas looked at that scene blankly, and the patriarch, who had been bedridden and was supported and kneeling on the ground at the moment, stared blankly at Fanaya's back.

A hand was stretched out in front of his face.

In the dim and heavy rain, the bright blue eyes of the young man who reached out to him were like the only light in the darkness.

The boy said: "Which is more important, 'fate' or the lives of all the people you care about."

The patriarch looked at the young man with an old face, and the rain ran across his wrinkled face.

His eyes were full of struggle.

But his hand stretched out uncontrollably and grabbed the boy's hand.

He understood the fate of their family, but——

Seeing this scene, the eyes of the Hittaya who had been resignedly waiting for the arrival of fate lit up again.

Shiva stood up abruptly, reaching out to support the old patriarch.

He said happily: "Patriarch, I will carry you!"

The patriarch looked at Shiva, looked at the young people in the clan whose eyes had regained brilliance, and gently patted Shiva's hand that was supporting him.

He said, "Let's go."

If God wants to punish him, he alone will bear it.

The storm is still howling.

The torrential rain is still pouring.

Supporting each other, the Hitaya braved the storm and ran towards the mountain on the left side of the forest.

Parents cling to their children, young people carry old people on their backs.

The soldiers roared loudly in the rainstorm, protecting the clansmen to move forward in the rain.

The blood-colored sea water spreading from the bay has come to the edge of the forest.

The huge flood knocked down trees one by one and spread over the black soil, like a giant blood-red monster rampaging, devouring all the creatures that could not escape or had no time to escape into its bloody maw .

The turbulence of the flood and the falling of giant trees shook the earth one after another, making the ground tremble again and again.

People are running in a hurry in the jungle.

But a lot of time has been delayed just now, and no one can guarantee that they can escape from the flood.

The dense rain and dim vision made it more difficult for everyone to escape.

In particular, more than half of them were old and weak women and children, which greatly slowed down their escape speed.

Everyone was running around in a panic, and the flood was chasing after them, and the roar of the giant tree collapsing behind them could be faintly heard.

Just when everyone was burning with anxiety, suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across the sky.

The earth was as bright as day for a moment.

Under that bright light, the Hittayas were surprised to find that countless people suddenly appeared in front of them.

The young emperor rode at the forefront, his wet blond hair shining bright golden under the lightning.

His strange-colored eyes, which were still as sharp as lightning in the dark, swept across the group of embarrassed Xita Ya people.

What appeared in front of their eyes was the Portoyas people they thought had left.

When the Hittaya was dazed, Sardis raised his hand.

The soldiers behind him quickly came to the already distraught Hittayas and helped the old, weak, women and children in the crowd onto the horses they had brought.

Their movements were very neat, and they completed the task in less than 10 minutes. Then, without saying a word, they led the horse and quickly turned around and ran in the direction they came and went.

The Hitayas looked at the Portoyas soldiers who helped them retreat, and many of them showed gratitude in their eyes.

The Portoyas had already left early, but they happened to be heading towards the mountain.

They could have gone to the safe place on the top of the mountain as soon as possible by themselves, but they went back and forth just to help them.

Especially that Emperor Sardis, who was obviously extremely noble, returned to the forest in person regardless of the danger.

"His Majesty……"

The old patriarch stood in front of Sardis, his lips trembled, and he opened and closed several times. He didn't know how to express his gratitude to the young emperor who had made the Hittaya people fearful not long ago. Affection.

After several seconds, he choked out a word.

"How dare you come here in person..."

Sardis looked down at the old patriarch with a calm and calm posture.

"You have become my people."

He said, an understatement.

In a natural tone.

"My people are all under my protection."

The blond emperor stood on a horse in the darkness, his long hair wetly sticking to his neck.

Like everyone else, he was completely drenched, but all of that didn't damage his majesty at all, or it should be said that his figure at this moment made people look up to him even more.

Looking up at the young emperor, the old patriarch suddenly understood why the Great Sardis was able to conquer such a large territory in just five years.

Not only because of the great emperor's strength, but also because of the great emperor's convincing broad mind.

He didn't say anything else, but bowed deeply to Sardis from the bottom of his heart and bowed his head to salute. Then he got on his horse with the help of the young people beside him, and quickly left with the people.

With the help of the Podoyas, the Hitayas fled the forest as quickly as possible.

The sky has completely darkened.

After walking out of the forest and looking up, everyone was amazed.

It was clearly still daytime, but the sun in the sky was blocked by the impenetrable dark clouds, unable to leak a ray of light.

And in the west of the pitch-black sky, there was actually a blood-red meniscus slowly rising there.

If you look from the sky, you can see the blood-red crescent moon in the sky and the blood-red sea on the earth complement each other.

The scenery was eerie to the extreme.

But now everyone didn't have time to be surprised. When they left the forest, the short mountain was right in front of them.

The roar of the flood in the distance was like a reminder, forcing everyone to hold their breath and rush towards the top of the mountain without stopping.

Sardis was the last to leave the forest.

After looking around to make sure that no one was left behind, he flicked the reins and was about to ride his horse to catch up with the people not far ahead when suddenly, a hurricane blew, so violent that people couldn't open their eyes.

Just when Sardis closed his eyes, the blood-red moonlight in the sky fell on him.

A sudden severe dizziness came from his head, making him in a trance for a moment.

The sudden dizziness was only for a moment, and he quickly came back to his senses, and was about to urge the horse to move forward.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind in my ears.

His heart moved inexplicably.

Turning back suddenly, with the extremely weak light, he saw a figure walking towards the depths of the forest.

The pale golden hair shimmered in the dark, but quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.

Sardis's heart beat violently!

That back——

That is--

At this moment, he couldn't think of anything, couldn't think about anything.

He fixed his eyes on the figure that was about to disappear as he walked into the forest, and almost instinctively turned his horse's head and chased after that figure.

But the space in the forest is too narrow, and it is impossible to run fast on horseback.

Seeing that figure walking deeper and deeper in the forest, he was about to leave him.

Sardis was flustered, he couldn't care about anything else, got off his horse, and continued to chase into the depths of the forest.

He ran eagerly in the forest, reaching out his hand to the familiar figure who seemed to disappear at any moment.

But no matter how hard he chased, he couldn't catch up with that figure.

Everything in front of him... was like the nightmare he often had.

People can no longer tell whether he is in illusion or reality at this moment.

Just as he was chasing after that figure, suddenly, that figure stopped.

He finally caught up behind the figure.

Looking at that extremely familiar figure from behind, Sardis' heart was beating crazily, almost breaking his chest.

His hands were almost trembling, and he desperately grabbed the familiar figure in front——

But he missed it.

In his dazed and desperate eyes, the figure he had been chasing for a long time disappeared before his eyes as if melting.

disappeared without a trace.

The earth shook violently, and the roar of huge waves came from far to near——

The figure he was looking for disappeared from his eyes.

Instead, there was a huge blood-colored wave as tall as a giant tower.

The flood in the sky roared and screamed like a monster, sweeping everything and rushing forward.

Sardis stood without moving.

There was a dull, dead silence in his eyes.

He watched the blood-red flood come towards him.

Covering the sky and the sun, covering the sky and the earth.

Taking one last look at his empty hand, he closed his eyes.

In the next second, the blood-red flood engulfed him.

…………

Mia has been among the crowd.

When the Hittayas were fleeing, he and Shiva were always at the end of the team in order to prevent anyone from falling behind.

Seeing that the flood was about to catch up and he was in a panic, Sardis appeared.

Miya breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he quietly hid in the crowd.

Because the sky was too dark, the vision was messed up, and the scene was in chaos. Everyone was splashed with muddy water while running. His face was also black and white, and it was extremely uncomfortable to hide in the crowd. conspicuous.

At this moment, everyone had already left the forest and was running quickly to the top of the mountain.

Because there were horses carrying the old and weak, women and children, the speed of the crowd was much faster than expected.

Listening to the roar of the approaching flood behind them, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They almost escaped at the last critical moment. If it wasn't for the fact that they were still rushing to the top of the mountain, many people would almost cry with joy at this moment.

But at this moment, Mia suddenly felt extremely uneasy in her heart.

A feeling of trepidation welled up from the bottom of my heart.

He stopped abruptly and looked back.

The sky was dark, and he couldn't see too far in the rainstorm, but no matter how much he looked around, he didn't see that familiar figure.

He panicked inexplicably.

At this moment, Shiva, who had been in the rear, caught up and said nervously, "When I walked out of the forest just now, I looked back and found that His Majesty turned his horse and ran back to the forest."

"I thought His Majesty would catch up soon, but up until now, he didn't seem to catch up. This..."

Before Shiva could finish speaking, a loud roar interrupted his voice.

The mountain under their feet shook violently.

They watched helplessly as the blood-colored flood slammed into the mountain fiercely from afar.

Almost at the same time, a snow-white horse that was particularly conspicuous in the dark rushed towards the mountain almost like racing against the raging flood.

"The water is coming up! Go!"

Shiva shouted eagerly, turned around and ran up.

But Mia stood still.

He blankly galloped towards the white steed coming in his direction.

It was Sardis' horse.

But the white horse's back was empty at the moment.

At this moment, his mind buzzed.

An extremely clear scene flashed in his mind.

dark forest...

Roaring red waves...

Also, swallowed by huge waves... swallowed——

The flood is surging up and rushing towards the mountainside.

The white steed was like an arrow leaving the string, galloping past the young man who was standing there blankly.

The huge blood-colored waves are churning.

Reflected in the boy's blue pupils, it seemed that the blueness was also stained with blood.

The boy looked at the roaring waves.

He moved.

He ran forward to meet the raging waves.

At the moment when the huge waves were churning to swallow him, he jumped into the flood on his own initiative.

Surrounded by water.

Mia opened her eyes, and wherever she looked, there was blood.

He swam to the bottom of the water.

There was red water all over the top, bottom, left, and right, and he couldn't tell the direction, but at this moment, it seemed that something invisible and intangible was leading him to swim deep into the bottom of the water.

It was dim under the light, only a little light from the top of the head refracted into the water.

He didn't know how long he had been swimming.

At this moment, he felt like returning to a long time ago in a trance.

A long time ago, when he first came to that world.

He also dived into the deep water, looking for that figure.

Everything... seems to be back to the past.

Suddenly, Mia's heart beat violently.

found it!

He sees below him.

In the depths of the dark blood-red water, the young emperor closed his eyes and was sinking slowly.

Mia hurried downstream.

He caught up with Sardis, which was slowly sinking.

He reached out and grabbed Sardis' hand.

Sardis closed his eyes.

A head of long golden hair spread out in the blood-red water waves, reflecting the shimmer in the water, undulating like seaweed.

He closed his eyes and was silent.

Even if he was grabbed by the wrist, he didn't move at all, as quiet as if he had died.

Mia was trembling while clutching Sardis' fingers.

No.

He leaned down.

You can't die.

He leaned over and approached Sardis, who had his eyes closed.

He held Sardis's face in both hands, and his trembling fingertips penetrated into the wet long golden hair.

I--

The boy lowered his head and leaned close to the opponent's body.

He pressed his lips firmly against the other's cold lips, and poured the air in his mouth into the other's mouth.

I won't let you die—!

The red moonlight refracted in from the water and fell on the entangled two people.

The water swayed, and the two figures, one big and one small, seemed to merge into one.

The long blond hair spread out in the water and floated upwards, slowly and gently wrapping around the boy above.

The blood-red water swayed like molten ruby.

The depths of the water are silent.

The glimmer of light refracted into the water fell on the corner of the young emperor's eyes.

The eyelashes moved slightly.

He opened his eyes slightly.

In his blurred vision, he saw water like a ruby ​​solution, and he saw the light golden hair floating in the red liquid in front of him.

meal.

He opened his lips and bit down hard.

The taste of blood seeped into his lips.

He bit it firmly and stubbornly.

A trace of water seeped out from the corner of his slightly opened slender eyes, and silently merged with the surrounding water without leaving any trace.
