I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

Akshia stood up gently and looked directly into Lust's eyes.

The wind blows in from the other side of the sea, blowing across tens of thousands of hectares of mountains and the forests covering them. Thousands of treetops and branches sway in the wind, converging into waves that rise and fall one after another.

The layers of waves seemed to be a sea, a sea of ​​crimson trees.

"I know that everything we experienced back then, including the identities and relationship between the Queen and the waiter, was a coincidence caused by the influence of the night world and should not be taken seriously."

"It's like a performance with a script arranged by fate. When the performance ends, the actors will naturally disperse and return to their original lives."

"But, I think there should still be something left between us—"

Akshia took Rast's hand and began to write gently on his palm with her white fingers. She wrote quickly but seriously.

The way he wrote furiously seemed as if he was anxiously and hopefully waiting for someone's response.

"I don't want to be like Luster and I in the real world, just acquaintances and ordinary classmates like before."

"I want to be friends with Rust."

"Not just friends who only drink and eat, but good friends who can truly understand each other and connect with each other's hearts..."

She raised her head slightly and looked up at Luster's face: "So, Luster——"

"Can you answer a question for me?"

When writing to this point, Akshia's handwriting became a little hesitant, but in the end, she wrote the line of questions on the palm of Rast's hand.

"If, that trip could happen again..."

"Laster, will you do the same as before, snatch my Star Cup and push me into the abyss?"

……

Feeling the slightly agitated touch coming from the palm of your hand.

Looking at Axia, who was like a kitten in front of him, looking up at him cautiously and vigilantly trying to figure out his expression, Rast's heart couldn't help but move slightly.

He knew that the girl in front of him, with eager hope in her eyes, was waiting for his answer.

And Rast also knew that as long as he gave a negative answer at this moment, the Death Girl in front of him would completely fall in love with him.

She is a miraculous creature of mixed blood of human and god, the most perfect offspring of the gods in this era.

After the remaining soul of the old God of Death was completely annihilated and disappeared into the abyss... Akxia became the sole successor to the "God of Death" sequence. There would be no further obstacles to her breaking through the legend and even ascending to the throne of God.

A powerful man who is destined to become a legend and even ascend to the throne of God is completely devoted to him... It is conceivable how much help this can bring to Last.

only--

Luster gently closed his eyes.

"If I had to do it again, I would still do it—"

"I betrayed you again and pushed you off the cliff."

Inherit the will of the shore guardians and become a partner of justice...

This was the source of power in the past life, in the desperate cycle of hundreds of years in Deep Blue Harbor, like a steam furnace core, supporting the empty and dilapidated body to keep moving forward.

It is this belief that has driven the creature named "Last" to survive to this day, and he will not betray this belief.

Hearing this, the glitter in Akshia's beautiful dark purple eyes dimmed a bit, and a hint of loss flashed across her face.

But the next moment, her eyes brightened again.

"but--"

Luster said softly, "Even if I have to face the remnant of the old god of death again and get hurt all over again, it doesn't matter."

"No matter how many times this happens, I will definitely break that ice coffin once again and pull you out of the abyss."

This seems like a somewhat twisted and meaningless choice.

After all, if the sole goal is to pursue "justice for the shore guardians," then simply taking Axia's Star Cup and then leaving it alone would be the optimal option with the least consumption and the most energy efficiency.

If it was for the pursuit of love, the pursuit of what Noah called "the primitive reproductive impulse between male and female creatures caused by the glands secreting stimulating hormones", then he should give Axia a direct negative answer now.

However, for Rast at this moment, this is the truest thought in his heart.

After choosing to embrace humanity, no longer being a machine, but living as a human being again - while basking in the glory of humanity, it also means that Rast must face the weakness of human nature.

Not willing to give up the ideal of being a "shore guard", but also wanting to embrace "humanity"... Such a road of "I want it all" will inevitably be more rugged and bumpy than an ordinary road.

But this is the path that Rast chose himself, so he will not regret it and will complete it no matter how ridiculous it is.

……

The last rays of sunset burned the entire sky into the color of flames.

In the increasingly dark night, listening to Last's answer, Akshia's beautiful dark purple eyes were brighter than ever.

But soon a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes: "Could it be that what you just said was also made up by you, Last, to fool me?"

Luster shook his head.

No longer using words or text, but rather whispering under the moonlight, he conveyed his inner voice directly to Axia in the spiritual world: "No."

"Are you really not lying to me?"

"really not."

"Are you really not lying to me?"

"Really, really not."

……

The voice of the heart, which is conveyed directly between two hearts without the aid of words or text, is so childish, like the dialogue between children in a sullen state.

And after such a childish dialogue lasted for a while——

Rast felt that in the spiritual world of Moon Whispering, the voice of Axia quietly paused, and everything returned to silence again.

The next moment.

He saw the girl in front of him close her eyes, gently stand on tiptoes, and hug his neck.

Followed by.

A cold and wet touch.

It spread out little by little on one side of Rast's cheek.

At this moment, the sun sets and endless darkness engulfs the entire world.

Akshia's lips were cold and soft to the touch, but the girl in her arms was so warm and trembling slightly.

Your bond with Axia deepens, and the Fool's Library gains new power.

[[Death God] Axia's current bond level increased from 6 to 7]

[You have unlocked the new Night Blade Tome - "Angel of Death"]

In the suddenly flashing and constantly rhythmic azure light and shadow before my eyes.

In a trance, Last seemed to see the lively paradise city at the foot of the mountain again.

Anna, the head maid of the royal palace, who has served Her Majesty the Queen for many years...

The vice-captain of the Shore Guard team, and also the assistant director of their date...

A member of the team, the ponytailed girl Janice...

People who had passed away in the old era appeared beside them again at this moment, smiling as they watched the two people hugging on the cliff.

It seems like a celebration, but more like a blessing.

Chapter 181 I am a vengeful person

When Rast and Akshia left the top of the cliff together, it was already night.

The sun had already set, but the moon had not yet risen. Only the faint lights from the fishing boats dotted the dark sea, like lanterns floating on the sea, illuminating the way forward for the two.

As soon as he walked down the peak, Rast saw a ferret hiding under the trail, peeking out stealthily.

Apparently, after discovering that his "prophecy" ability was banned and entering the small dark room, he struggled for a long time... In the end, he could no longer bear the desire to break the chapters, and decided to take the risk of being discovered by Last and do it himself.

The moment he saw Rast and Akshia, Dean Yin's big tail, which was hanging loosely behind him, suddenly tensed up and stood up as if frightened.

Obviously, he didn't expect that the situation with Rast and Akshia would end so quickly. He was already a step too late just after he made up his mind.

The twisted space ripples slowly spread out beside it, and Dean Yin was about to directly drill into the secondary dimension and escape from the crime scene without leaving any handle for Last.

Although he was pulled out of the secondary dimension by Last once before, after suffering a setback, Dean Yin also discovered some limitations of Last's ability.

His "Copy Eye," or as it was called on the live broadcast screen, the so-called "Fool's Library," was able to replicate and use the Sequence Abilities or Night Blades that others already possessed.

The reason that Rast was able to pull himself out earlier was because of the Night Blade "Silent Disqualification: Withering Stone" that he copied from Barbarossa.

The effect of this Night Blade is to make one's body immune to "supernormal", or in other words, to invalidate all "supernormal" that one's body comes into contact with.

Although this ability is powerful, in order to break the extraordinary, one must use one's own body to personally come into contact with it. This is the biggest limitation of Night Blade's "Silent Disqualification".

In other words, as long as he could run away fast enough, Rast wouldn't be able to catch him.

Such a thought flashed through Dean Yin's mind.

It looked at the spatial crack that was gradually swallowing its body, and had already made up its mind. After returning to the academy, it would never admit that it had followed and spied on them.

What? You're saying a ferret that looks just like me and can use the "Moon" sequence was spying on you? How could that be possible? That must be a conspiracy by the enemy. Yes, the remnants of the Gravekeepers from the Sixth Epoch.

I have been staying on the sofa in my dormitory at Fanxing University, watching TV series. How could I possibly follow my own students? Slander, all slander!

In Rast's own words, a dead mink is not afraid of boiling water.

But, the next moment.

There is an ancient syllable that echoes throughout the mountain forest shrouded in darkness.

It was a language from the distant Age of Gods, countless epochs ago... but the two people and one beast present could clearly understand the true meaning of the words corresponding to those syllables—

This word means "death".

boom--

The spatial crack that was originally rippling quietly and was slowly shrinking and was about to disappear in the material plane suddenly solidified in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, the void shattered.

It turned into countless crystal-clear black fragments, floating between heaven and earth.

Dean Yin, who had originally hidden in the secondary dimension and was planning to use the secondary dimension as a springboard to utilize the ability of "dimensional walking" to enter the astral realm and escape directly back to Star University, fell out of the space rift with a confused look on his face.

Then, he fell directly into the arms of the girl with ice-blue hair and was picked up by Axia.

"Xia, you've changed too. You're even helping that guy bully me..."

"Have you forgotten our deep friendship? Have you forgotten the wonderful time we had eating grilled fish cakes together?"

"Is the friendship between us, as best friends, not as strong as a few sweet words from this kid Rust?"

Dean Yin raised his head from Akshia's arms in a daze and cried to her.

But then, its voice paused slightly.

As Akshia's close friend, Dean Yin had once seen Akshia release the "Angel of Death"... and although the words just now were the same characters, the tone was not what Dean Yin was familiar with.

That is to say-

Dean Yin widened his ruby-like eyes and looked at Last who had arrived late.

"Did you release the Word Spirit just now?"

"Did you really steal the Death Angel?"

At the side, a hint of surprise also flashed in Akxia's beautiful dark purple eyes. Obviously, she did not expect that after leaving the night world and losing the Star Cup of Death and the blessing of the Abyss, Last could still use his own words.

But soon, the ripples in her eyes slowly faded away, and she returned to calmness.

For this girl who has survived since the Sixth Epoch, the sole heir to the God of Death, there are not many things in this world that she can care about.

The obelisk's ranking, rank, and social status in the human world... even the power over life and death was something Akxia was born with and did naturally.

She is not like many students of Fanxing University who choose to become extraordinary people in order to stand out or for some obsession. She has an unimaginable desire and obsession for power.

For Akshia, no matter what kind of power Rast gained or what he became... as long as he was still willing to accept her as a friend, she would be satisfied enough.
