<I love you so I kill you, God is jealous of us! >

Besephone will never forget the first time she met Pu Lutong. Although in the eyes of many people, it is not really a beautiful encounter, it is indeed a memory that she will never forget.

It was at the end of the winter in 2990. There was still heavy snow in the sky, the sun was hiding its brilliance, the black city and the gray sky, the monotonous scene like a black and white photo, was stained with traces of scarlet everywhere.

Under the gloomy gray-white sky, the formerly gorgeous place where the undead lived, the city named "Sigh" has been reduced to scorched black ruins in the fluctuations of the battle between the undead army and the holy court army.The grand battle has come to an end, and the paladins sent by the Holy Court to purify the undead are crushed under the ruins and are suffering painfully. Their blood has dyed this black-and-white photo-like world with new colors, thick and charming. Want to drip.All the priests were killed in the first confrontation of the undead, the staff was broken, and the exquisitely carved light element spar on the top of the staff was shining dimly, scattered like stars in the black ruins.

Hiding in the narrow space made of gravel and rubble, Besephone slowly recovered her strength, and was always paying attention to the movement outside.The surviving paladin squad patrolled the ruins, looking for the undead that had been missed.She was badly wounded and had to dodge them carefully.Although strictly speaking the undead creatures were already dead, Besephone absolutely did not want to be purified.If life belonging to the darkness tries to experience the ultimate light, the end will be to be burnt into coke by the light, right?

How is His Majesty the Lich King doing now?Besephone had no way of knowing.

As one of the four demon generals under the Lich King, "Queen of the Banshees" Besephone has exhausted her strength in the battle with the Cardinal, and now she is as fragile as a newborn baby—no, even more fragile than a newborn baby. The baby is more fragile... At least the baby can accept the light, and the weak undead creatures have only the fate of being wiped out under the blazing sun!In her heyday, Besephone could walk under the warm sunshine like an ordinary human being, but in her current state, it would be tantamount to putting her on the stake again!

The stake... that pain...

"Besephone is a witch! Burn the witch to death!" A childish voice seemed to echo in her ears, and Besephone shivered slowly while hiding in the small shelter.Obviously, as an undead creature, she can no longer feel the cold, but when recalling that past, she still trembles with fear like a human being.That was Besephone's darkest and most desperate childhood memory. The naive and cruel mistake made by the ignorant child, it was with that mistake as the starting point that today's Banshee Queen was created little by little.

The pathetic person who ignorantly rushes to the embrace of God, but is rejected by the gate of heaven...

Besephone struggled to gather the little dark power left, and leaned against the corner of the ruins to recover her strength little by little.The cardinal was very difficult to deal with. Although she was killed in the end, it also destroyed the entire palace complex and trapped her inside. Only a few small holes were not blocked, and dim light flowed in from those small gaps. so that it is not too dark.The City of Sighs is the home ground of the undead. Originally, the undead army should be at home here, but Besephone can feel that the power of darkness is passing away little by little, and the light that frightens her is gradually occupying here—could it be? Say, His Majesty the Lich King was defeated by those humans?

This is impossible!This is absolutely impossible!Besephone trembled violently, and sat up straight in the darkness.

Your Majesty will never fail... This is what she has always believed in!

The scene of being burned on the stake by those ignorant fanatics when I was a child is still vivid. Her mother was yelling, and the wooden cart that sent her to the stake passed the streets and alleys, and everyone stood on the street watching Looking at her, they threw stones on her, chanting vicious curses, cursing that all bad luck and unhappiness were brought by her, a witch, and shouting to kill her, a demon... She prayed helplessly to God Asked for help, but did not get any response until the flame of judgment was ignited, because God was not on her side, she was a child abandoned by God...

Those people said she was a different kind, so she was going to die.

God... are you really looking at this world?Or to put it another way—are you the same existence as those foolish people?

The burning at the stake was really painful. She struggled desperately like a lamb dedicated to God, feeling herself dying bit by bit.The moisture in the hair was burned dry, turning into ashes in the fire, the clothes were burned long ago, and there was no intact skin on the whole body, the moisture was burned dry and charred as black as carbon, and the edges of the charred skin cracked when struggling, The bright red flesh and blood inside was exposed - in the end, it was as painful and hideous as a layer of skin being peeled off alive.But she wasn't dead - she wasn't dead even though she was disfigured, she could even smell herself being cooked, like a well-cooked veal steak smelling... sickly.

At last she was saved, and the Savior came from hell instead of heaven.

The Lich King led his army to level the place, and she was rescued from the burning stake. The skin on her body was as brittle as dead bark, and it would fall off and turn into hot ashes when touched lightly.The flesh and blood without skin protection was directly exposed to the air, gurgling with blood.

The dark-haired Lich King protected her, and then— ordered the entire town to be set on fire.All she wanted was to laugh as she watched those who howled to burn her writhe and writhe in agony in the flames until they were finally charred.

The fool who thought he knew how to exorcise demons eventually became a demon purified in the flames.

Besides her, there was only one living person left in the whole town, her mother.

Besephone didn't know who her father was, her mother never mentioned him, and she never saw the man.But it doesn't matter, as long as she has a mother, it is enough.The mother knelt on the ground and cried in despair, probably because her father, whom she had never met, was also among those who were burned to death?

After accepting such painful torture, she couldn't rely on her own strength to act at all.Holding the unrecognizable child in his arms, the Lich King walked step by step towards the crying young mother on the ground.The undead standing on both sides gave way one after another, the blue soul flames danced in the eye sockets of those skeletons, the supposedly terrifying face was so beautiful in Besephone's eyes.

"Don't believe anything that humans say about God, rely on your own cognition to define things that you don't know, humans always do such stupid behaviors, and the truth they seek is farther and farther away from them. Human It is said that God is merciful, but God is not only merciful. God also kills, God hates, and God punishes devils." The Lich King gently put Besephone into his mother's arms, and the young Besephone was stunned. Look into those beautiful blue eyes, which reflect her own ghostly reflection. "It's just that human beings always foolishly speculate on God's will. The final result is always wrong."

"Me, Ligeia, and Gloria...the God we've seen has never bothered to convict and condemn. She loves the world and us, just as a mother loves her child...A mother indulges her child, but This does not mean that there will be no punishment. One day, all the evil in this world... will be judged by the hand of God. No one can escape that result... They are punished in the name of love and justice. Mistakes committed will eventually be punished. But you must learn to protect yourself... Fate is never fair, the wicked may be punished in the end, but the good people may not be able to be permanently happy."

The handsome man with black hair and blue eyes gently stroked the young Besephone, and said something she couldn't understand, with such a sad tone.

"Let's go, let's go meet the knight king, and those eagle dogs who are blinded by the holy court's teachings, foolishly working for the devil, and gods do not recognize!" The Lich King turned around and turned to him. Those loyal subordinates ordered.The army of the undead gathered and advanced silently. They flowed through this destroyed small city silently like water, just like the silence when they came, leaving only ruins and countless corpses roaring in the fire.

"The Lich... the king?" A bright light flashed in the eyes of the young Besephone as she watched the army go away.

In the following years, Besephone finally followed in the footsteps of the former savior, transformed herself into an undead banshee, and climbed to the pinnacle of power step by step.The mother had long since died, and she watched her child roll in the fire, turning into a terrifying monster, but she still protected Besephone for so many years without fear, until she died, and her soul returned to eternity Anle.

The days of fleeing are very difficult. Human beings presumptuously set up doctrines for the gods and sent blinded eagles and dogs to hunt down and kill innocent devout believers.After being taken away by her mother for so many years, Besephone finally understood the meaning of the obscure words that the Lich King said to her that day—God loves her children, but he will not take them lightly. Interfere in children's fights.The Holy Court judges heresy, and there are only a few real blasphemers. Most of those who died in the flames were blasphemers of the Holy Court.

God has never cared whether people believe in her or pray to her. These are issues that only narrow-minded human beings care about.

It's ridiculous, those people--doing the thing of chasing demons in the name of serving gods, this is ignorance and ignorance.

Besephone didn't know if God loved her, and she didn't want to know—her mother loved her, until she died.All she needed to know was that she was content.

——Someone in this world once loved me, I am not alone... that is enough.

In this case, even if you die today, you will have no regrets, right?It's just that I don't know how the battle will be... If His Majesty loses, then we, the people of the undead, will never have a peaceful day...

Besephone was thinking in a daze, curled up in the dark corner of the ruins, like a helpless wandering child.

"Hey, is anyone alive?"

A low and deep male voice suddenly sounded, blending into this small space together with a few rays of dim morning light.Besephone raised her head in bewilderment like a disturbed ordinary girl, her dazed and panicked eyes were facing the abyss-like black pupils.

It was a young human with black hair and black eyes... He moved the gravel and slipped in through the gap. Against the light of the morning, his long black hair was plated with gold, and the hazy and psychedelic mist surrounded him. Spread out all over his body, he seems to be carrying golden six wings, sacred and brilliant.Besephone stared blankly at this human being who suddenly broke into her small world. Although the black robe on the other party clearly showed the identity of the necromancer, the Banshee Queen was still shocked by this sudden and unexpected appearance. When they met, they were in a hurry, not knowing what to do.

Besephone knew that there were living necromancers in the City of Sighs besides undead creatures.But she never imagined that at such a moment at the end of the war, there would be a necromancer running to the dangerous place close to the central battlefield.Isn't he afraid of death?The undead may not be afraid of death, but how can living humans not be afraid?

"Survivor? I'm so lucky to be a beautiful girl." The black-haired, black-eyed man blew a slightly frivolous whistle, but in this situation, Besephone found the whistle unexpectedly pleasant, "It's a pleasure to meet you, this beautiful lady. I'm Plutong. As you can see, the mage who belonged to the third legion was lucky to survive in such a ghostly place. I have to say, although the camp is not right , but I still feel that the knight king who can fight with His Majesty is indeed a man in this kind of home of the undead. Well, stop nagging, our troops suffered heavy casualties, and there are paladins patrolling outside, so we don’t want to be burned at the stake Follow me in a low voice."

Pluton extended his hand towards the banshee queen in the corner in a friendly manner. He didn't seem to notice that it was not a weak female mage in front of him, but an extremely tyrannical banshee king who had experienced many battles, and even treated her like a noble woman. I made a salute.

Besephone hesitated and stretched out her hand. The hands of the dead and the living were clasped, and even the cold body was warmed by the body temperature of humans.

"Oh, by the way, what's your name? It's rare to see such a beautiful girl in such a place where there are many dead people and few people. I haven't seen you before."

"Me? My name is Be... my name is Persephone."

The author has something to say:

In the end, I couldn't hold back, and read the outline of the story of the three monarchs in the previous chapter of Hades... However, the hero only appeared at the end of the chapter, and I was also drunk.
