Brilliant light filled the air, and the painful howls of eight million gods could be heard all around Izumo. The curse of the beast's blood that had seeped into every inch of the land was rapidly evaporating.
Huang Quan closed his eyes and said nothing.
Time changed again, the process in between was erased, and all Alex's actions became meaningless again.
[Then the netherworld was swept away, the battle ended with the sound of the gong, and the twelve cold lights were completely cut off; only the wild souls were left clamoring, the black sun was shining, and finally the two swords that would destroy the world were forged]
In flashbacks, Alex and Mei meet again and again without knowing each other. Even if she wants to save her, it is all in vain. At the beginning of each scene, Mei asks Alex's name and chooses to believe it, but it doesn't take long before she forgets it again in the next memory.
The death of eight million gods brought irreversible impact to the entire planet. Their blood did not dissipate, but merged into every inch of land on the planet, cursing the last living beings here all the time. Humans could not escape this curse, and there was nowhere to escape. Many people were cursed by the blood of the beasts and turned into monsters that were neither human nor beast.
【ghost】.
It was a demon of evil, a demon of the devil, just like the demons of Tianyi Wu who had lost their humanity. The people here were unable to resist the whispers of the ancient beasts and had lost all their humanity. After the fall of the Twelve Heroes, the only thing Izumo could do was to fuse the remains of 745 swords together to forge the last two swords.
The first is the "beginning", the second is the "end"; it begins with humans and ends with ghosts.
The Izumo city in front of Alex had turned into scorched earth, filled with a strong sense of malice.
"Is there anyone still alive?" Mei, holding a long knife, walked up from behind Alex expressionlessly and said, "I thought there was nothing left here."
【beginning】.
Mei, who was born with demon horns, is the only holder of the Blade of the Beginning. Alex witnessed her traveling to every corner of Izumo Star and killing the last eight million remaining gods, but she didn't see a single living person along the way.
The original survivor has become a demon. She kills gods and demons. The blade of her sword is already a sea of blood. Although Mei is still wearing a white kimono, she is not much different from Huang Quan later.
Alex watched her step by step and became her.
"Alex Rand." Before Mei asked, Alex had already said, "My name."
"Let's go."
Mei looked up at the sky and said, "Although I don't know where to go, let's leave. One step further will lead us to hell."
The black sun was already in sight. Just by looking up at it, she could feel her soul being pulled out. Mei knew that the world was doomed. The real enemy was not the eight million gods, nor the demons that were born afterwards. The moment they saw the black sun, the end of the entire world was already determined.
But even if I knew the ending...
Mei still chose to step into the final city, and Alex followed.
The sword tomb mountain that was originally the shrine has now turned into a giant sword emitting an evil aura, which is another sword - [End].
"You dare to name the sword "End". What would End think if he knew?"
Alex made a joke casually, and Mei looked at the man who followed her with confusion, but now was obviously not the time to chat. The darkness had condensed into one evil spirit after another. They pulled out all kinds of broken blades from the sword tomb and charged towards Mei like an army of undead!
Mei's expression didn't change at all. She raised the knife in her hand, ready to kill the evil ghost's army by herself!
Just like she had always done in the past, swinging the sword, slashing, swinging the sword, swinging the sword! She had already transformed into a ruthless killing machine, mercilessly slashing everything in front of her!
"Leave this to me."
Alex has frozen the world for the 94th time, but this time, the memory is not frozen, because whether Alex intervenes in this battle or not, there will be no paradox in the ending. All the evil spirits that want to attack Mei are suppressed under the glacier. They frantically hit the ice surface, trying to squeeze out, but no matter how hard they try, they can't create a crack in the ice surface.
Mei looked back at Alex. This was obviously the first time she had met him, but she already felt a little familiar and trustful of this name. She said nothing. The road to the end had been cleared, and she rushed forward towards the mountain of swords!
This is the last enemy.
"The Izumo Kingdom broke 733 swords and forged them into twelve swords to protect the world. Then the twelve cold lights were broken and the two swords to bear the world were finally forged." On the mountain of swords, white hair fluttered in the wind. The last enemy, the final master - the white-haired ghost sat on the top of the ruins, looking at Mei who came to him, and said: "There are a total of 747 swords forged in the world, but only one of them can save Izumo."
The white-haired ghost did not launch an attack. As the leader of the ghost clan, he was handsome and delicate. In comparison, Mei looked more like a ghost at this moment. He looked at Mei calmly and said, "But you and I both know that the way to save the world does not exist, and there will be no trace of it tomorrow."
"Humans rebel against the gods and will eventually turn themselves into demons." The white-haired ghost looked at Mei who raised the knife to him, showed his sharp nails, and said, "We put everything on the line, but only got the destruction of two worlds."
Alex walked up slowly, and the white-haired ghost didn't see him. Meiyi didn't do anything, she just held the knife, rushed forward, and then...
Swah——
Cut off!
The sword mountain of [End] was broken directly by Mei's sword, but at the same time, the [Beginning] in Mei's hand also turned into pieces and fell. The two swords carrying the whole world on their backs also broke into pieces at the same time.
Alex looked at it and realized that he could no longer interfere with the scene in front of him. This should be his last memory. He could only be a spectator and witness it all.
On the collapsed mountain of swords, the white-haired ghost's chest also had a bottomless bloodstain. He still did not make any move, but calmly asked the last sentence, "Do you still remember why Izumo forged the sword?"
Boom.
The towering mountain of swords collapsed, and the black sun covering the sky appeared in Mei's sight again. She raised her head and looked at the vast black sun, whispering: "For a lie, for a destination that never existed, because we have already stepped into His shadow, every step forward will never turn back..."
Mei has understood the truth of everything.
Seventy thousand thirty-three, twelve, two, and finally...
Everything.
Just to give birth to the last knife.
A tear of blood fell from her eyes and fell onto the hilt of the sword, turning into a scarlet sword. Her hair was assimilated by the white-haired ghost, and the ghost's claws appeared on her arms. At the moment when the beginning and the end were all broken, everything that the eight million gods, humans, and ghosts carried, the entire world, all came into her hands.
"Until the final [Sword (Man)] is forged."
She is the last sword forged by Izumo, forged by humans.
【none】.
All memories came to an end when Mei slashed the black sun in the sky with a bloody knife. On the uninhabited planet, Alex watched Huang Quan, who was pressed to the ground by him, slowly open his eyes, loosen his hand, and stand up again.
"I lost."
Huang Quan still had white hair and her knife was still unsheathed. She knew everything Alex had done in her memory and said, "But you also did nothing."
It refers to Black Sun, whom Alex tried to save again and again but couldn't escape in the end.
"Do you think you've done nothing?" Alex looked at Baifa Huangquan. Only when Baifa turned into a ghost could she remember everything clearly. He said, "You wiped out all the evil gods and evil spirits in Izumo and wiped out all the darkness in the world. You knew that the world was hopeless, but you still did it."
Baifa Huangquan did not answer this question.
"Is that enough?" She said, "The competition is over. I admit defeat. The gap between me and Nothingness has not changed at all from the beginning to now."
The power of nothingness is still beyond her control.
"you are wrong."
Alex shook his head and said, "You are totally wrong. You are so wrong. If you continue like this like an idiot, Izumo will be destroyed in your hands."
The white-haired Huang Quan was not in a good mood now. She stared at Alex with murderous intent in her eyes. This sentence denied everything about her and everything about Izumo.
"Since you want to spar with me, I can't show my real skills." Alex looked at Huang Quan and said, "Raise your sword. I don't agree with your surrender."
When the light appeared in Alex's eyes, Huang Quan almost instinctively raised her knife to block, but it was too late! Time had already been frozen, she was already floating in the air, and Alex's hand had instantly slapped her chest and knocked her away, and...
Pierce!
Instant kill!
"Ahhhhhh!" Huang Quan screamed. Her whole body was pierced by Alex's hand. The power in her body surged violently and uncontrollably. She felt pain... no, not pain.
There was no pain, no death, no fear. Huang Quan looked at Alex in astonishment, only to see him smiling and pulling his hand out.
Swah——
At the moment Huang Quan fell to the ground, Alex had already pulled out a knife full of fragments from Huang Quan's chest. The hilt was black and white, a fusion of Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and the blade was full of fragments. At a rough glance, there were twelve pieces, and a closer look revealed seventy thousand and thirty-three pieces.
"What's this……"
Huang Quan's white hair had disappeared, and the Wu at her hand also disappeared. She opened her mouth and stared at the long sword in Alex's hand that was emitting various colors of light. That was the sword that she had pulled out of her body, emitting a feeling that made her feel extremely close.
"This is you."
Alex looked at the knife in his hand and said, "You were wrong from the beginning, Huang Quan. The Twelve Heroes have taken good care of you since you were a child. Even the last boss, the White-haired Ghost, never really hurt you. Do you know why?"
"why?"
"From the moment you were born, everyone knew that you were the last hope." Alex said with a smile, "Your memory is so huge and real that even you can't bear it. You remember every detail, even everything you haven't witnessed. I noticed something unusual when I entered your memory. That's not a memory, it's a complete world."
Alex walked to Huang Quan's side, stabbed the knife into the ground, put it in front of her eyes, and said: "No one can do this. My memory is not as perfect as yours. In fact... haven't you also wondered why you don't have a father?"
"You are more than just Huang Quan, more than just Beichen Meiyi."
"It's the will of the planet."
“It is the will of the planet born in human form.”
Just like Xiaoya, who was just born in Yalilo, and Gaia on Earth, only the will of the planet can record everything.
"It's not just you who has crossed the void. It's Izumo's will, everyone's will, that has crossed the void. [Nothingness] is only the first step. When you live up to everyone's expectations and cross the void, the real final blade has been born in your body."
"That is the last sword forged by the blood and sweat of several generations of people from all over Izumo."
"The name of the sword is Izumo."
From the very beginning of entering the memory, Alex was very confused, why Huang Quan's memory was so special, everyone was so vivid and even had a reaction to him. It didn't seem like a memory, but a real world.
Later he discovered that he had made a mistake.
Huang Quan was originally the will of the Izumo planet born in human form, but she never realized it. She only knew that she was responsible for the final blow.
But I never knew that this is not the point.
After crossing over nothingness, the [person] that is brewing is a brand new beginning.
Alex was really envious. This sword could really be his own exclusive weapon. Everything about the Twelve Heroes and everything about Izumo were all condensed in it. But... no one could take it away from Huang Quan unless Huang Quan himself was willing.
"You just said that my efforts were in vain, right?" Alex gently placed his hand on the head of Huang Quan who was sitting on the ground, and said, "Well, I don't want to be stubborn. Now I really can't go back to save Izumo."
"But you didn't."
"Because you succeeded, Izumo was born."
Huang Quan didn't know what to say, he just stared blankly at the knife in front of him.
"What a coincidence! I've been researching this kind of thing a lot lately. Although there's no rift here and I can't bring you here, it should be okay to bring you in." Alex ruffled Huang Quan's hair, stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt, infusing his power into [Izumo], and scrolls of paintings floated out of the blade. Huang Quan's eyes widened...
Ukiyo-e.
That is Ukiyo-e about Izumo from ancient times to the present!
"I……"
Huang Quan was about to speak when she came to another world. She immediately realized that she had entered the blade. She turned around in surprise and found Alex standing behind her, and under her feet was a beautiful field full of white flowers.
"Look forward."
Huang Quan looked forward when she heard that, and saw twelve knives stabbed on the cliff. She opened her mouth but was hesitant and did not dare to move forward.
"Let's go."
Alex pushed her gently on the back, and as Huang Quan took a step forward, the twelve heroes appeared in her sight, holding the hilts of the swords. They put the twelve swords on their bodies and looked at Huang Quan's arrival with smiles.
The second step is that the complete Izumo City rises from the ground.
The third step is the bustling crowd, with the people who once lived in this era reappearing.
Step 4. As the breeze blows the petals, the calls are also transmitted.
"Mea Yi." "Mea Yi." "Mea Yi..."
Huang Quan walked faster and faster, and as he moved forward, everything in front of him became more and more real and clearer.
"Everyone……"
There was a sound of crying in Huang Quan's voice. Alex smiled, turned around and didn't disturb them.
You've done everything, idiot.
"The only pure white flower in my dream blooms in the amber crescent moon. Even if I lose all the power of love, I am not afraid." Alex hummed the song softly: "The sky reveals a faint light, illuminating the emptiness and confusion. Among the ruins, I am looking for the only dream..."
He stopped humming and looked at the girl in front of him.
Mei Beichen, the cheerful Mei Beichen when we first met in my memory.
The self in Huang Quan’s memory.
"Alex Rand." She looked at Alex and said with a smile: "I remember your name, and everything you have done. Thank you."
After she finished speaking, she turned into wind and flowers, and merged with the Yellow Springs that was embracing everyone in the distance. Alex looked back, turned his back to everything, waved his hand, and said, "You're welcome."
…………
"Have a sweet dream."
Alex was the only one left on the silent planet, pouring her power into Izumo, weaving a palace of memory. Alex thought about it, how come even Yomi was gone, it seemed that when she drew her sword, she was Izumo.
It is both a human, a star spirit, and a sword.
“This ingredient is more complicated than me.”
