They are all rushing towards the "beautiful and bright" future they want.

Except one person.

——

Seal the stars within the body.

Helfas has lost a pillar, a body, and a crystal head. Every time he loses an anchor point, he feels that he is getting closer to the dark box with nothing.

He understood that he would soon be stuffed back into the place where even the screams of despair could not come out, and squeezed into a sealed coffin without any gaps and unable to move at all.

He recalled more details of that nightmare. For the first time in his life, he felt such intense fear that his soul wanted to tremble.

He was afraid.

It is not death that is remembered by all living beings, but an eternity with nothing.

He forced himself to remain calm and said to Anissa.

"No matter what, I will not let you succeed."

"Anisa!"

"I won't follow you to that place."

"I want to stay here, civilization needs me, everyone needs me, I can't just leave."

Helfas was like a helpless drowning man floating in the sea, constantly waving his arms to grab everything he could.

He shouted in his heart.

"Black fountain pen."

"I still have a black fountain pen. Those who have a black fountain pen will never give up on me."

He closed his eyes and felt the black pen that was the only anchor point he had left.

In the dark.

He could feel a large number of light points, each of which was a black pen. He held on to these anchor points tightly and refused to let go, as if he was holding on to his own life-saving straw.

As long as he doesn't completely break away from the anchor point, as long as he has another core body, he can still stay in this universe.

But at this time, with his eyes closed, he suddenly saw the light spots in the endless darkness shattering one after another, turning into fluorescence and dissipating.

"Dang!"

He heard the sound of something breaking. It was the black pen breaking to release spiritual power.

Helfas opened his eyes.

He returned to the world of consciousness, standing under the ancient fire tree, and Anissa stood on the hillside behind him, watching him motionless.

"what happened?"

Hel was a little stunned. He couldn't see what was happening outside at all, and Anissa waved her hand, and various scenes were reflected in the sky.

Various pictures of the human world and various pictures of the city of Helfas emerged in the world of consciousness.

Helfas raised his head and looked through the branches and leaves of the fire tree.

Next.

He saw the resurrection of the black iron dragon, saw countless people calling each other's names, and saw three dragon kings standing in front of the Central Library, and a conflict broke out.

Helfas was a little excited, and he opened his mouth to say something.

"Don't...I..."

But then he still closed his eyes and said nothing.

Finally, he saw the three dragon kings sitting and watching the resurrection of the evil dragon, witnessing the destruction of his last anchor point.

At this moment, Helfas's expression was extremely complicated.

He can see it.

Sarunen and Bahabei understood something, but in the end, they chose the future of civilization between civilization and him.

He saw those who admired him and followed him, cheering for joy as they looked at him who was about to be pulled into a dark cage outside the universe.

All they see in their eyes is that the Black King is about to open the way to the starry sky for them, and they don't know what price the Black King will pay.

perhaps.

Just like Freedom is to Anessa, the world of Hinsa and Oracle is to the Witch.

For the Dragon Kings, the importance of this civilization transcends everything else.

Helfas was extremely excited at first and wanted to say something but couldn't. Finally, he became calm little by little, but his eyes were a little lonely.

He understands the choice of the Dragon Kings.

He understands everyone's expectations.

Because, this is what Helfas taught them.

"Everything is for the advancement of civilization and is worthwhile. No problem can stop civilization's determination to advance."

Starting from Helfas, they have no so-called faith. What we believe in is our civilization.

What we worship is not God.

It is the great, noble and selfless figure who can lead us forward, and he has always played such a figure. He hopes that he can set a good example for everyone, so that such a god and persistence can become

The direction for everyone to move forward.

But at this moment, everything he has done has pushed himself into the abyss, and he will have to pay the heaviest price for the ideals he firmly believes in and the path forward.

Anissa looked at Helfas's back and could feel his frustration without looking at his face.

"Looks like."

"They no longer need you."

"You led them from wilderness to civilization. You taught them how to become a great king and how to be a god."

"You did a great job, it was perfect, but what you can do has been done."

"Now, they need you to use everything you have to open up a path to the stars for them."

Anissa walked forward and said to Helfas.

"Isn't this what you expected? You have sacrificed everything for the advancement of civilization. Why do you seem a little sad?"

The corner of Anisa's mouth raised. She might never find someone with such contradictions and conflicts as him. His life, which was not long for her, was full of drama, a passionate epic drama, and a triumphal song.

It was also a tragedy that suddenly turned into a comical comedy at the end. His ideals and path forward were the sharp blade that killed him completely.

Looking at the other person's life, her long and empty life seemed to be tinged with some color. At this moment, the witch even began to pray like a believer, raising her head high and raising her neck like a swan, and clasping her hands toward

He made a wish.

"The free soul, the black-haired man from outside the universe."

"Please grant the wishes of those of us who are pursuing freedom and realize our last wish!"

Anissa imitated the posture of the earth witch Myrtle, and the atmosphere of piety and solemnity was so strong that it could not be dispersed.

"One last time please."

"Play the god we want!"

But talk and talk.

She actually felt that way sincerely.

Because when she saw those people, she suddenly understood why those people were so fanatical about Helfas.

If possible, she also longs to have a god like Helfas who can fulfill all their wishes and sacrifice for them.

Helfas heard Anisa's "sarcasm", and he wanted to yell loudly, but he seemed a little weak.

"Shut up!"

Helfas stood under the fire tree and looked up at the sky.

"Yes, I am such a person."

"I'm just an ordinary person, pretending to be what I want."

"I am playing the king and god in my imagination. I want to be a noble person and a great being. Even if I know that I am not great at all and I have no desire for God, I cannot be as firm as you.

Persistence.”

Helfas was extremely disappointed. He looked through the shadow of the fire tree, and then slowly closed his eyes.

"Besides, I was actually looking forward to it just now."

"I hope they choose me instead of freedom."

"Even if I tell them what is right and what freedom is, in the end."

"But I hope to keep me by their side, worship me as a god, rely on me incomparably, and hope that I am irreplaceable to them."
