It was probably that Jeffrilla or Crystal Nest was killed by "Roland", and Higgs's projection disappeared like a bubble.
However, after just looking at each other for a moment, a certain strange rhythm was directly embedded in Roland's heart. Along with these strange whispers that kept ringing, Roland felt an abyss-like tranquility.
That was the power of the [Eternal Sleep] realm that had been turned over. For the first time, Roland realized how terrifying this complete spiritual silence was.
Roland felt that his soul became heavy. Then he felt that he was floating into an unfathomable abyss, and a fragrant warmth kept gently patting his face. It was as if he was floating in a sea of
In the hot sea of rose fragrance - a sea of scorching medicinal wine, the warm waves beat on the shore of brass flames, breaking into a piece of foam.
After waking up again, Roland found himself in a strange place.
It was a very huge room, with the roof alone being tens of meters high. It was definitely not inhabited by humans.
Under him was a dark brown floor engraved with complex patterns, and the high raised dome like a church was dotted with colorful colored glazes, randomly and messily combined, exuding a strange and wild beauty.
And around him were randomly placed seven or eight comically irregular tetrahedron bookshelves like inferior pyramids. Countless books, large and small, were hung on the bookshelves, maintaining a dangerous angle at a strange angle.
balanced.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Before he could understand the surrounding environment, Roland suddenly became aware of the familiar voice that kept echoing in his ears in the extremely silent environment.
——I've been here.
A vague impression made Roland realize this.
Following the prompts of his enlarged instinct, Roland immediately raised his head and successfully discovered a huge coffin-like clock.
Yes, it appeared suddenly - the coffin-like clock penetrated from the ground to the roof, and even the top had pushed open the roof and extended to the outside world. But when Roland looked up at the church-like dome, he didn't notice it.
Something like a pillar is connected to the roof, and the roof with a wonderful curvature is also intact.
The three hands of the wall clock, which are exactly the same length, vibrate at the same frequency and at different steps. It does not look like timing, but more like it is constantly reminding something and sending some kind of signal to the outside world.
【I want to open it——】
After Roland had this thought in his mind, a gap naturally appeared on the clock. It seemed that Roland could open it directly with just a slight lift.
But at this moment, an inexplicable fear hit Roland's mind, and the flowing cold breath gently bit the back of his neck, making everything in front of him extremely clear, but it kept changing like a drunken man.
Far away. It kept warning Roland not to open the coffin.
【That is my mission——】
Roland was enraged by a sudden rage without any warning or reason. He let out a terrifying scream full of hatred, and the whole space shook.
First the walls, then the floor, then the bookshelves and books - Roland's instinct made him drive some kind of power to distort everything in front of him, melting them like butter, flowing into one, and then turned into silver.
The flames turned the whole world into a sea of fire. The clock was also burned, and its disguise was removed, revealing the coffin underneath. However, the ticking sound did not disappear, but resounded clearer and louder in Roland's heart.
Roland stared at the coffin blankly, tears welling up inexplicably.
The sound of the strip of cloth being torn apart was heard. Roland used force to separate the palms that were nailed together, and dripping silver-gray blood flowed, soaking the dim yellow strip of cloth.
He roughly tore off the cloth strips wrapped around his eyes and lifted the coffin with trembling hands.
——Lying inside the coffin were two corpses that were burned by silver flames and became unrecognizable.
However, Roland could recognize who this was.
"……elder sister."
Those were the bodies of myself and my sister.
He stroked the cheeks of the two corpses with trembling hands and recognized a fact that he had ignored all this time.
Yes, he had already remembered that he and his sister were originally the same person.
When she was eight years old, after her mother was killed by a panicked thief with an iron stick on that rainy day, Roman had already gone crazy.
Brother, thief, man in black, host, doctor, doll... In response to her needs, many personalities appeared in her mind to share the pain and excitement that she couldn't bear. At the most time
, Roman even has seventeen personalities.
Later, after her mind stabilized, after treatment by a psychiatrist and Roman's own efforts to recover, her personality except Roland had sunk. Roland, as her "brother", became Roman's enlightenment and guide. Even
Even this name was given to him by Roman.
"ah……"
Roland opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
——I should have thought of it a long time ago. Why did my sister disappear from the body out of thin air that night? Why did my sister and myself come to Farnes...
Looking back now... my sister must have come to Farnes as early as that time. Her mission was probably the same as mine, to save Farnes.
However, she failed.
Roland is her and Fiennes's second and last chance.
There is nothing in the body named "Roman" at this time. If Roland dies, it means that Roman and the entire Farnes will disappear into the dusk forever.
The fact is that Roland and his sister are one and the same, and their talents should be the same.
From the first time he came into contact with Higgs, Roland's flow origin had been awakened. However, the Eye of Orm believed that this was harmful to Roland and did not let Roland realize it, making Roland forget about himself again.
The origin of.
In addition to the mentor, the Eye of Orm is also a saint who has been paying attention to Roland from the beginning.
Just like the setting in the game, the system panel is the gift of the Eye of Orm, the law itself that is sorted out and authorized. Like the mentor, he is Roland's guardian.
Why did the Three Saints take good care of Roland from the beginning, why did Roland become the elect and the Pope, and what exactly were the Three Saints expecting? At this moment, Roland understood everything.
Exposure to dusk will indeed bring special abilities, but the way to obtain this ability is to be reborn with the help of the power of dusk.
——What the Three Saints hope for is that Roland can resurrect Roman, so that the two broken souls can be reunited into a complete body, and the two origins of "fit" and "flow" can be combined into one.
If he obtains dual authority, Roland can embed himself into the entire Farnes and use the planet as a boat, giving Farnes the ability to wander at will in the universe to avoid the perception of the Dusk Species.
"——But, I refuse."
Roland's hand paused for a moment, choosing between the two corpses for a moment, and then naturally placed his hand on the chest of his own corpse.
The next moment, Roland's own body suddenly turned into dust, and under his dim yellow bandage, new flesh and blood grew rapidly.
After he made his choice, the illusion quickly collapsed. The "blind believer in prayer" once again turned into nothing and disappeared into the sky.
But what is different this time is that Roland already has the ability to control his own Twilight Incarnation. He can summon it at any time and use it to severely damage any Twilight Species that descends on Farnes with its projection.
When Roland opened his eyes again, he returned to Frankfurt.
"What are you doing, Roland..."
The incarnation of the Everlasting Mentor appeared behind him at some unknown time and sighed deeply: "I know your limits. Only your own strength cannot protect the entire Farnes."
"Of course I know."
However, Roland remained unmoved at all.
He turned his back to his mentor and said in a deep voice: "You are right, my words alone cannot save Farns' fate... But, this is an era of mortals."
"I may not be able to change the fate of this world. But I can try to change the fate of all humans in this world. If you regard dusk as the doomsday, all you can think about is how to delay its arrival. But if you regard it as the end,
If it is an enemy, it will consider how to defeat it... I want to become the enemy of dusk."
"Yes, we cannot defeat the Twilight Species. But that is only our world, our universe... When the Farns jump out of this dead zone, we will be able to see more people and more living forces. If
If they are willing to take me as their lord, I can gather an infinite number of people around me. Since Dusk has an infinite number, then we will attack them with an infinite number. In tens of thousands of years, tens of millions
Years later, there is always hope of winning."
"...Do you want to be immortal, Roland?"
At this moment, Mentor Chang Mian seemed to be meeting Roland for the first time: "This means you will never see your sister -"
"I will see you eventually. She will be waiting for me."
Roland murmured, turned around and knelt down deeply towards his mentor.
"Teacher, please show me the way."
"I want to be the savior, I want to be the spiritual leader of all those who are interested in fighting the Twilight...I want to be the emperor."
