Chapter 829 The meaning of life cycle

Lauren doesn't quite understand why humans can be with the end.

But he vaguely felt that his thinking seemed to be drifting in a certain direction.Theoretically speaking, the fate of mankind does not have much to do with him, and he should not have the idea of ​​"how to correct mankind."

Is this some unknown "bug"?Or is it that I am still missing something important?

"...What exactly does Ophelia know?"

Before I came to the Golden City, I had obviously merged with the separated parts - but why couldn't I get rid of that inexplicable feeling of lack?And why were the corpses of the "World-Destroying One" closely connected to him from the beginning?
The answers to these questions are probably not far away from me.

Although the final power that envelopes the city is very thin, it is indeed constantly eroding everything it touches.The weathering on the exterior of the building is obviously unnatural, and fresh trade goods are spoiling faster than usual.While the humans here don't seem to notice this, everything around them is certainly affected.

Is this the power emanating from the "horn"?Lauren didn't know what kind of abilities each part of the "World Destroyer" had, but just a false body made of three pieces of dead bones could instantly destroy the false god born in stagnant eternity.If all the dead bodies were gathered together, what kind of terrifying power would be unleashed?
The biggest question is, why did the origin of the world create such a monster this time?
"Is it...this way?"

As Lauren was casually walking through a certain block, he suddenly felt his heart beating a little more violently.That seemed to be the resonance between the dead bodies, and a certain familiar feeling flowed into his body at the same time.

——That was Claire calling him.

"I really hope we don't start fighting as soon as we meet."

Although strictly speaking, the current Claire is just a "recorded reproduction with the same personality, words and deeds", but for Lauren, it is extremely lucky that she can still exist in this way.

As long as the Golden City still retains their information, perhaps one day they will be given a new life.But now, they can only test themselves according to the instructions of the Golden Capital, and have no other choice.

"...In the end, it turned out to be a place like this."

The pulsation of his heart core finally guided Laurent to a dilapidated hut. The door was ajar due to decay and could not provide any protection at all. The air with a heavy and earthy smell continued to flow out of the room. It seemed as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

But this scene seemed like I had seen it somewhere.

"Since the door is open, I'll come in."

Too lazy to continue thinking, Lauren opened the door and walked in, but to his surprise, no one was in the room.Except for a few old tables and chairs that were covered with dust, nothing else existed.

Maybe if you take a few more steps, you will suddenly step into a different place?With such wild thoughts, Lauren walked slowly into the house, but did not encounter any abnormal situation, and did not even find any useful clues.

Obviously the core of the heart has sensed the location of the dead body, but Claire has no idea where it went.Just when Lauren was starting to feel a little bored, a tiny rustling sound suddenly came from above his head.

"It turns out that..."

Lauren, who finally found the abnormality, suddenly raised his head and looked upward, only to find that his vision suddenly became dark.Before he could start to think about what happened, he felt his face suddenly being hugged tightly by something strange.

Then a sharp pain came from the top of Lauren's head, as if something had penetrated, causing him to lose consciousness in an instant.

But before he passed out, he still guessed what the thing that captured him was.

……

"Tsk, it's just a meeting, can't we choose a more normal way?"

After his consciousness finally returned to normal, Lauren found that he seemed to be in a completely different place than before.However, because the surrounding scene was too unreal, he immediately guessed that he might have been forced into some spiritual illusion.

Because very close in front of him, a giant dragon covered with white-gold scales was lying there, looking at him with its huge dragon head.

"Long time no see, 'Hero'."

"...Have you ever seen me in the past?"

The dragon opened its mouth slightly and spat out human words, but Laurent was not moved by it.He calmly looked at the giant dragon that looked noble and holy, but actually always exuded the aura of death, and expressed his doubts.

"No, actually I've almost guessed it a long time ago...the so-called three legendary warriors are actually just monsters that Ophelia deliberately found."

This is not the first time that such speculation has appeared in Lauren's mind. He has known for a long time that the three legends are not human in nature. Although they have human appearances, they can also perform in human postures. Legendary power, but the nature of their power is very different from humans.

"We have never met the 'Hero', but Ophelia and I once made an agreement."

The huge dragon body began to decay and fester rapidly, and the white-gold scales instantly lost their brilliance.And among the collapsed and melted dragon body, a young-looking blond girl suddenly appeared.

"If the 'Hero' appears in the world again, we will guide him to witness the destruction of the world with his own eyes."

"In that case, wouldn't the 'hero' stop the destruction? Even if he lacked important memories at the time, his 'mission' would not disappear, right?"

"It is precisely because he will be bound by the 'mission' no matter what, so we must work hard to correct his prejudices."

The beautiful yet fragile girl who looked like a doll walked slowly toward Lauren. Black rotten air kept coming out of her body, as if her body might break and shatter at any time.However, Laurent didn't have any emotional changes, he just watched the end coming towards him like a cold machine.

"Even a prosperous world will actively long for 'death'. Because without an end, there will be no new beginning. Human beings cannot escape the constraints of lifespan precisely because human beings still have a 'future'."

A hero is a being who saves the world from ending.

But if the world itself is looking forward to destruction, then why should heroes be born, and why should they "save" the world?

Or... does the "hero" have another opposite responsibility?
