At the same time, his breath weakened rapidly.
Diogenes still cannot accept that all his pursuits and plans over the years could have been shattered so easily.
At this moment, there was a small bloody hole in Diogenes' abdomen.
His body tried frantically to repair the wound, but to no avail.
Under the influence of the Ice Rose, the wound has been completely frozen.
"What a powerful weapon! It deserves the title of the most powerful offensive weapon."
Feeling the injuries in his body and the continuous loss of vitality, Diogenes shook his head helplessly.
No wonder an ordinary person without any fighting ability can still threaten the life of the Dark Prince after obtaining the [Ice Rose].
This weapon is too powerful.
So powerful that it was even beyond Diogenes's understanding.
"You're not dead yet? You're really good. After taking the full force of the Ice Rose, you're still able to stand there."
Elina turned the hand holding the [Ice Rose] slightly, and the exquisite bow that looked like an ice sculpture disappeared.
When it disappeared, it even sent an intimate signal to Elina.
"The whole continent is speculating about the whereabouts of the Ice Rose after Margaret left, but I didn't expect it to be in your hands, Elina."
At this moment, Diogenes' body once again recovered from his youthful state to his old age state.
All the strength he had gained before disappeared at this moment.
"When did you start doubting me?"
Just when Elena walked in front of Diogenes, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Elena.
His plan was not perfect, but it was very inconspicuous. If you didn't pay close attention, you would never suspect him.
"I have a student named Andre, who is the test subject of your monster potion."
"That's it."
Elena only said one sentence, and Diogenes understood everything.
He finally understood why Elena suddenly came to him that day.
"That was a really bad move."
Diogenes sighed.
The reason why he used this potion was actually to create chaos himself, that is, the chaos of hybrids attacking the human race.
By then, he can still carry out his plan smoothly.
However, later, the sudden appearance of the Maize ruins disrupted all his plans.
At the beginning, the high priest once reported to him that a person had run away.
At that time, he didn't take it seriously and just issued a wanted order.
However, he never expected that it was this person who actually disrupted his overall deployment.
"why?"
Elina looked at the old man in front of her and suddenly asked.
"I have read all your information and experiences. Since you were young, you have been determined to dedicate yourself to the human race. You did so until you became the Pope."
"Even after becoming the Pope, you still maintained your previous style and did everything yourself. At the same time, because you restrained your subordinates and did not infringe on the interests of civilians, the Theocracy became the faith of many people in a very short period of time. They all called you the Holy Pope."
"Whether you were Diogenes on the battlefield when you were young, or the holy pope who became the leader of theocracy, you were always a hero. Why did you end up like this?"
Elena stared at Diogenes without blinking.
Her eyes, as blue as the sky, seemed to have the power to penetrate the soul.
The more she dug into Diogenes' past, the more incredible it seemed to Elena.
Why did a person who was once upright, bright, gentle and dedicated to humanity become like this today?
This is simply unimaginable.
After all, the history books she came into contact with were not those that had undergone countless revisions and contained only words of praise, but those that truly recorded all events.
"why?"
Hearing Elena's question, Diogenes was slightly startled, then closed his eyes.
All the memories of the past came flooding back.
Countless images of Diogenes appeared in his mind.
That high-spirited young man at Dunbarton College.
The young man who hid in the corner and cried because his beloved left.
The warrior who stood on the battlefield and fought endlessly.
The lonely person who has been left by all his loved ones.
The high priest who was deeply trusted by the Pope.
His Holiness the Pope who sits on the throne and commands the Crusaders.
And now, this old man who committed a heinous crime.
All of this flashed through his mind.
Diogenes was a little confused. He himself didn't know who he was.
He didn't even know when he took that step and became the monster he is today.
"Maybe it's because I'm afraid of death."
Diogenes smiled slightly, but gave Elena an answer that she least believed.
Perhaps Diogenes was indeed afraid of death when he did such a thing.
But this is definitely not the main reason.
If he was simply afraid of death, he would not have stood alone on the fortress, facing hundreds of thousands of dark armies.
It is even more impossible for him to dance on the blade again and again and take the lives of dark nobles one after another.
"It's meaningless to say this now. I have long been prepared to fail, but I didn't expect to lose so completely and so quickly."
Seeing that Elena wanted to ask something, Diogenes suddenly shook his head, indicating that there was no need to say more at this time.
His purpose and his pursuit were all pierced through by that arrow. From then on, Diogenes would be recorded in human history as the most evil devil.
However, he didn't care about these, as he had already made up his mind before taking action.
Diogenes slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for death to come.
I don’t know why, but he, who had always been pursuing immortality, completely let it go at the last moment.
All obsessions and unwillingness disappeared at this moment, leaving only the infinite peace in the heart.
"Yes, there is no point in saying this now."
After hearing Diogenes' words, Elena paused slightly, then nodded, turned her back, and prepared to leave.
She did not launch any additional attacks, because the arrow from the Ice Rose was enough to kill Diogenes.
On this continent, the only one who can block this arrow, besides Nevin, is probably Bahamut.
Or there may be other strong ones.
But, in any case, Diogenes would certainly not be among them.
In less than a minute, Diogenes' vitality would be completely lost, and by then, he would be dead for sure.
"Alina, you are very talented, but even so, you have time. One thousand years, you only have one thousand years. If you don't accomplish what you want to do within this thousand years, then this world will once again become that bloody and cruel world. You must hurry up and hurry up to complete all the things you want to accomplish, because time always stands on the side of Eternal Night."
Just when Elena thought Diogenes' breath was about to end, he suddenly opened his eyes and gave Elena a final warning.
Over the years, as the deadline drew closer, Diogenes became increasingly aware of the horror of the dark race.
No matter how brilliant the genius or how powerful the human being is, in the end they can only be like shooting stars, bringing brief light to the night.
But there is only eternal night. Eternal night is like a dark night. No matter how twinkling the stars are or how brilliant the meteors are, they are all there without the slightest change.
All powerful things are nothing but a pile of dust in the face of time.
"A thousand years? No, I have never thought about this question. I want to step into a field that has never been set foot on before. I want to completely change this whole world."
"Also, I have already found the preliminary path to that realm."
Elena, with her back to Diogenes, turned her head slightly. Her exquisite and perfect profile seemed somewhat sacred under the reflection of the bright moonlight.
"You mean..."
After hearing what Elena said, Diogenes' pupils shrank slightly, and then he actually laughed.
"Hahaha, I see. So that's how it is."
Diogenes laughed madly and wantonly, tears flowed from his eyes, and it was unclear whether he was crying or laughing.
"Elina, I have one last favor to ask of you. Do not harm Lobias. The evil deeds committed by the Theocracy have nothing to do with her. Let her live a peaceful life."
After laughing wildly, Diogenes whispered these last words and fell silent.
After noticing that there was no movement behind her, Elina turned around.
Looking at the old man in front of him who had lost all signs of life.
Elina's expression was complicated.
Until Diogenes died, Erina never figured out what kind of person he was.
Finally, Elena bowed to Diogenes.
This gift is not for His Holiness the Pope who has done so many evil things.
Instead, it was given to Diogenes, who once contributed everything to humankind.
At this point, the story of Diogenes Lepage, the powerful man who stood at the top of the continent, came to an end.
(I'd like to ask for some monthly tickets during the weekend, thank you everyone.)
Chapter 78 The Biggest Fool
Elena stood in front of Diogenes' body in silence for a long time. Finally, she snapped her fingers, and a ball of fire fell from the sky and landed on Diogenes.
The temperature of this flame was extremely high. In just a few minutes, Diogenes' body was reduced to ashes.
After all, he was one of the demigods of the human race, and Elina didn't want this guy to be insulted after his death.
As for those priests who had already stopped breathing, Elina let them return to dust.
For those who were still alive, Elina cast a few healing spells.
Whether they can survive depends on their luck.
To be honest, with what these guys have done, even if they survive now, they will definitely be held accountable in the future.
Even if Elina saves them now, they will most likely die later.
A theocratic church without the Pope is like a pile of loose sand and has no deterrent power at all.
And, after this incident, the royal power alone will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.
"Squeak."
Elina slowly opened the door of the temple. At this moment, the entire temple was empty, like a ghost cave.
Elena walked to the throne. At this moment, the throne no longer had the golden and magnificent feeling it once had, and it looked a little dim.
She walked around the entire temple and found nothing. It seemed that there were no other victims imprisoned here.
"Hmm? This is the study?"
Just as Elina was about to leave the temple, a room full of books caught her attention.
She walked into the room and found that there was only a skylight in the room. The bright moonlight shone through the skylight, bringing some light to the room.
"Snapped."
