Four hundred and thirtieth IX [10,000 years of sadness]
Chapter 439 [Ten Thousand Years of Sorrow]
Ares?
Ares??
The male god of mankind? The one who defeated the demon god with the "Spear of Longinus" blessed by the gods in the age of mythology, the one who is known as the strongest god of mankind? Ares?
But here, in the Tower of Babel behind the Demon Temple, a place belonging to the Demon God, how could a human god be imprisoned here? Shouldn’t the person imprisoned here be the defeated Demon God?!
Du Wei felt that he was speechless.
Ares' figure was sealed in the crystal, but when he sighed softly, the sound was faint, and there was a sadness in it that was too strong to dissipate, but it seemed to have some kind of infectious power.
Even Du Wei couldn't help but feel that his heart was filled with that kind of inexplicable sadness after hearing this sigh...
Du Wei could feel that there was a vague look in the crystal that enveloped him, and then Ares sighed: "You are indeed not Aragorn... But, so what? No matter what
Who are you? Anyway, it’s not you I’m waiting for here.”
After hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help but ask: "Then...who are you waiting for?"
"She! It's her!!"
Ares's voice suddenly sounded like ignited gunpowder, revealing overwhelming resentment!
"It's her! I'm here, taking the place of the devil to endure this endless imprisonment, taking the place of him to endure these ten thousand years of loneliness and pain! Just because he promised me that one day he would throw her here too!
!”
Du Wei heard the ups and downs in his heart and felt that this matter was getting more and more confusing.
Ares... was imprisoned here instead of the Demon God? It sounds like the human God of War fell to the Demon God's side?
History, history! What are you like?!
"Ares...well, then, why are you here? Has the demon here gone out?"
Ares was silent for a while, and then he laughed. When he laughed, the laughter seemed to fall directly into Du Wei's heart, and then Du Wei heard the other party say: "Human... Since you are not Aragorn
, then why are you here? And...why do you also have the same starry sky realm as Aragorn?"
Du Wei shook his head: "This matter is complicated... Although I am not the real Aragorn, you can think of me as his substitute... There is really not much difference between them."
Afterwards, Du Wei had already moved his body. Originally, his body could not fully withstand the power of the realm level after he had forced himself to support the starry sky realm. He was already on the verge of collapse, but he had fully recovered at this moment.
"No matter what, Ares, thank you for saving me. Otherwise, my body would have turned into dust." Du Wei's tone was sincere, and then he looked at Qiaoqiao lying there: "Thank you too.
Saved her."
Ares' laughter contained a trace of mockery: "You don't have to thank me. Because even if I don't save you, you won't die here. But if you die here, you will be imprisoned forever."
In this place, you can also maintain the state of your soul. As long as you spend more time, you can also use your strength to shape a new body."
"What do you mean..." Du Wei asked seriously: "As long as you 'die' here once, you will be imprisoned here forever?!"
"Yes, because here... is an eternal seal left by the goddess!" Ares's laughter contained deep ridicule: "Because the power of the demon is too powerful. Even if he is found to have a weakness,
Defeat, but as a god, you cannot die, so you can only seal it. The goddess set up such a sealed space here and moved the entire Demon Temple here. This is a divine domain, and we are imprisoned in it.
Here, you can never get out, and the two guardians outside are also imprisoned here. They enjoy eternal imprisonment! Eternal loneliness and loneliness! Including me..."
"I don't understand." Du Wei shook his head, and then he stared at the crystal above: "You are the human god Ares, you are a god! And this is still a god's domain, since you still retain the god's
Power, why can't you get out? Has the power of the goddess surpassed you? You know, I heard that you are the real most powerful god in mankind."
Ares's laughter echoed through the Tower of Babel, and it took a long time before his laughter gradually subsided.
"Humans, tell me, how much do you know about the mythical age?" Ares's voice was full of solemnity.
"Not much, but not too little either."
Then, without waiting for Ares to speak, Du Wei took the initiative to tell what he knew about the stories he heard from Elf King Luoxue. Especially, at the end, he told the story that is still circulating in the world.
The story of "The Demon King and the Girl"...
"The demon king who was ravaging the world fell in love with a beautiful human girl. In order to save mankind, the beautiful girl decided to sacrifice herself and married the demon king. She sadly said goodbye to her lover. Then, the beautiful girl deceived the demon king's
Trust, after finding the Demon King's weakness, he united with his lover and tribesmen, and defeated the Demon King together..."
When Du Wei said this, he heard the voice of Ares above his head: "...Now, is this story still circulating in the world?"
After a pause, his voice seemed to become even more bitter: "It turns out...she actually allowed such stories to continue to circulate. I originally thought she would wipe out all historical traces..."
Then, he snorted and sneered, and finally laughed louder and louder, and finally laughed and said: "Okay! Very good! It's really good! She actually still kept this story! Hahahaha! I should have thought of it a long time ago.
!”
Du Wei felt a sword-like gaze coming down from his head, as if it could pierce his body!
"Human! Tell me, what do you think of this story! Isn't it exciting?!"
Du Wei was silent for a while, and there was a hint of pity in his voice unconsciously: "No, I feel very sad."
"Sad? You are a human! This is a story about humans defeating the devil. Why do you feel sad? You should be cheering for this!!"
"Yes, maybe I should be like this. Maybe. I should be cheering, but I still feel a little sad." Du Wei added: "I feel sad for that devil king."
Ares was silent for a while and whispered: "Why?"
Du Wei sighed and said sincerely: "When a person... no, even if he is the devil! When he is willing to tell that beautiful girl his biggest secret and biggest weakness... it is not because he is stupid! Because!
No one would tell others their biggest weakness casually! The reason why he did this was because of love! Because of love! Because he really couldn’t help but fall in love with that girl. Falling in love with that human girl! Even if
He is the evil devil described in the story, but he revealed his biggest secret and biggest weakness to the woman he loves most! This is a kind of absolute trust that comes only because of love! What a pity...
"
At this point, Du Wei's tone gradually became lighter and he said softly: "It's a pity that he was betrayed by the person he loved most. I can even imagine that when he saw the person he loved most betraying him, he felt so sad. When my enemies appeared together, and then took advantage of the weakness I told her, and in turn deeply hurt myself, what kind of despair and sadness was in the heart of the demon king!"
Du Wei shook his head and whispered: "I also have someone I love most...I can't even imagine that one day, when she betrays me, she stabs me in the heart. At that time, I’m afraid I’ll be so desperate that I won’t even have the courage to live... No. Even if I can survive, I will give up! Because I’m afraid I can’t bear the pain.”
There was silence in the Tower of Babel for a moment.
Du Wei looked up above his head. In the huge crystal, Ares was also silent.
After a long time, Ares's voice gently fell into Du Wei's ears:
"It seems that you understand." Ares' voice sounded like a sigh: "People in the world don't understand...but it seems that you understand."
"That's right." Du Wei nodded, his voice was very serious: "Perhaps, I have not experienced the era when humans were enslaved by demons. Perhaps, because of this, although I am a human, I don't have much personal experience. Experience. So, even though I know that humans have defeated the devil, I should feel happy. However, every time I think about the devil's demise... I can't help but feel a little pity for him in my heart."
"In the past ten thousand years... I have only heard such words twice. And they both happened after I was imprisoned here. The first time I came here, the guy who said these words to me was that Aragorn. And the second one is you."
Ares was sighing, but this time his voice seemed to be much softer and less cold.
"Then tell me, Ares, why are you, a human god, here?!"
"Because... what you heard about the 'Demon King and the Girl' story you mentioned is not all of it! And after the end of the story, there are some other things that happened." Ares snorted.
"What else happened?"
"Yes." Ares's voice became deeper, and his tone was full of helplessness and sadness: "Because, it is not just the 'girl' that the 'Demon King' falls in love with, but at the same time, The 'girl' also fell in love with the 'devil'!!"
The girl fell in love with the devil??
The human goddess of light fell in love with the devil?!
Du Wei felt like he was really dizzy all of a sudden!!
Then, Ares's voice sounded softly, and his faint narration opened up a legend that had been sealed for thousands of years...
"To this day, I still clearly remember everything that happened that day. Every detail flashes through my mind so clearly over and over again!
She is my lover. When she voluntarily sacrificed herself to the Demon God in order to defeat the Demon God, the torture to me was huge! I still can’t get rid of that kind of pain... and I will never be able to get rid of it!
That day, after she succeeded, I walked into the Demon Temple and the Tower of Babel with the ‘Spear of Longinus’ blessed by the gods!
I heard the painful and crazy howl of the demon. I don't know why, but I seemed to be able to faintly feel the pain at that time. The pain of losing a loved one!
I remember, when I rushed into the Tower of Babel with the Great Elf God and the Beast God. When we saw him... the powerful enemy who once stood in front of him could give us a huge sense of oppression.
At that moment, he looked so weak. I had never seen him look so weak.
I seemed to understand that his weakness was not because she cut off his devil horns while he was sleeping. That weakness seemed to come from a kind of heartbreaking pain.
I will never forget the look in his eyes at that time!
Even though he was surrounded by many powerful enemies, even though he had lost his devil horns, at that time, he seemed not to look at us at all, but only looked at her.
Then, he asked in that heartbreaking voice: 'Why! Why!! Why!!!'
The battle that day was very tragic!
Turns out we were all wrong!
We originally thought that after finding the Demon God's weakness and creating a peerless artifact like the 'Spear of Longinus' that concentrated all the power attributes of the gods, we should be able to take the opportunity to defeat him.
Unfortunately we were still wrong!
Even if he loses the Devil's Horn, the Demon God has almost lost more than half of his power.
But even so, in the battle, he showed so much power, but we are still unable to resist!
Because he is a demon! He is the strongest god in the world! His power, even when he is at his weakest, is not something we can resist! Even if we all put together!!
The cruelty of that battle made us all fall into despair...because if we can't defeat him even in this way, then we are afraid that we will be imprisoned forever!
But the final turning point... happened at the end.
I clearly remember that originally he was able to defeat us all, but in the end, she, who had not made a move, finally took action.
I still clearly remember that he, who none of us could defeat, seemed so powerless when facing her.
Even the hammer of the dwarf god Thor can withstand it. Even the powerful beast power of the orc god cannot harm him! Even the magic of the elf god was resolved by his manic laughter!
However, when she took action, he did not dodge when the dagger in her hand stabbed him!
No, it's not that I didn't avoid it.
But, he didn't hide at all!!
A dagger could not hurt his body at all. However, when the dagger stabbed his body, I clearly saw a despair in his eyes! It was a kind of crazy despair!
He did not dodge, nor was he stabbed in the body by the dagger, but it was his heart that was hurt!
Although he didn't express anything, even though he didn't say anything, I saw a kind of... giving up in his eyes!
He gave up!
When I stabbed him with the 'Spear of Longinus', he didn't seem to even look at me. He just stood there, seemingly turning into a motionless sculpture!
Even when my 'Spear of Longinus' pierced his skin and penetrated his chest! When all the divine attributes blessed by the gods rushed into his body...
He still didn’t move! He didn’t dodge!!
Even, he still didn't look at me!
His face, his eyes, were only facing her. From beginning to end, they were only facing her!
Then, I heard him ask softly:
'Are these what you want?'
When he finished saying this, he even had a desperate smile on his face!
Then...he, this powerful being who once made us all tremble, finally slowly fell down!
At that moment, I suddenly understood something.
He was not defeated by me.
Nor was he defeated by our gods.
Not even defeated by the ‘Spear of Longinus’ in my hand!
The only one who can defeat him is her!
Yes...he fell.
He finally lost.
The powerful existence that once stood tall and made everyone tremble has fallen.
But at that moment, I forgot to be happy! I forgot to cheer!
Because, unfortunately, I saw the look in her eyes.
Because, in her eyes, I also did not see the joy and joy that a winner should have.
Her eyes, at that moment, were empty.
At that moment, I suddenly felt: I'm afraid, I didn't just lose her temporarily!
Although dedicating myself to the devil was only a temporary plan... But at that moment, I seemed to have had a premonition that I would not lose her temporarily... but lose her forever!
And everything that happened later proved that my hunch at that time was correct.
Du Wei listened quietly to Ares's words. His solemn tone and sad voice made him dare not interrupt him at all.
But when Ares said this, he fell silent. He didn't speak for a long time.
Du Wei waited for a while and then couldn't help but ask: "Then what? Is this the end?"
Ares was awakened from silence by Du Wei's voice, and then he seemed to smile:
"If this was the end, I wouldn't be here anymore..."
"...In the subsequent war, although I have always been by her side, I have felt more and more that she is getting further and further away from me! Even if she smiles at me, even if she looks at me, I They all feel that it is a long distance!
And almost a hundred years later, the Second Mythical War broke out... Another war broke out between us and our former allies, and the orcs, dwarves and elves.
And at that time, I was still standing by her side!
I fought for her and bled for her. The spear of Longinus was stained with the blood of my former allies.
Actually, I don't want to do this.
We are gods. I have always felt that as a god, I don’t have many desires anymore.
However, I saw this from her eyes!
I even felt that when she looked at the Demon Temple and the Tower of Babel, she already had a kind of worship that was incomprehensible to me.
Yes, that's right, it's a kind of worship.
Then... after defeating the Demon God, she seemed to want to copy everything! The supreme position, the master of all things!
Perhaps, she is not satisfied with just being 'one of the gods'.
She hopes to become the greatest god...or even the 'only' earth god!
I am still willing to fight for her. Because I know that I cannot refuse any of her requests. When she wants me to fight, I will go! When she wants me to bleed, I will bleed for her!
Finally, the gods who had worked together to forge the 'Spear of Longinus' tasted the power of the artifact they had created.
After the second mythical war, we still became the victors.
After the war was over, I thought it was all over. I finally didn't have to face those things anymore, but I hoped I could be with her quietly from now on.
I don't care about human beings' worship of me, I just want to be with her quietly.
As a god, I have an almost eternal life. For me, the only pleasure in this eternal life is to be with her, look at her, listen to her voice, and look into her eyes.
But...I didn't expect that she had changed!
Moreover, it changed a long time ago.
That day, she brought me here.
After the Demon God was defeated by us, he has been sealed away. After the Second Mythic War ended, she told me that although we defeated the gods of other races and forced them to sign an oath and stay away from the mainland, these did not
Safe. Because there is still a demon!
In order to prevent the defeated ones from dying and secretly releasing the Demon God, we must seal the Demon God in a place where they cannot find it.
Finally, we chose the farthest snow-capped mountains in the northwest of the mainland. Here, she used her divine power to carve out a space, a divine realm. Then, she took me into this divine realm."
"What happens next?" Du Wei was already sighing.
"And then?" Ares seemed to be laughing, but there was deep mockery in the laughter: "She told me to strengthen the seal here. And sealing a powerful demon requires a lot of divine power. I don't want to see it.
She spent money on it, so I took the initiative to take on this. I used a lot of divine power to strengthen the seal here, making this Babel Tower the scope of my divine domain.
It's a pity that I spent a lot of energy and felt very tired.
While I was consuming my divine power, I handed the Spear of Longinus to her.
But when I finished everything, I just turned around, and what greeted me was not her smiling face.
But...
The cold tip of the spear!
I think...at that time, I suddenly understood a lot.
I seemed to suddenly remember that when we defeated the Demon God, when she stabbed the Demon God with a dagger, the expression on the Demon God's face and the look in his eyes.
Because, I think, my expression and eyes were the same at that time.
There was even a strange feeling... I didn't seem too surprised at the time that she would do this. Even I didn't know where this feeling came from.
In my heart, I suddenly remembered the words the Demon God asked her when he looked at her before he was knocked down by us:
'Are these what you want?'
At that time, the Spear of Longinus pierced my body, and then I did not resist or attack her.
I just looked into her eyes and asked her in the same low voice.
'Are these what you want?'
Are these what you want?
When these words came to Du Wei's mind, he suddenly felt a sadness in his heart, and he felt infinite pity for Ares.
god?
God is also so sad!
"What did she say to you?"
"She said sorry to me twice." Ares smiled softly:
"She said: I'm sorry, because I felt that I could no longer face you a long time ago, because every time I face you, I will feel guilty about you and think of him, so I have to do this.
Do. I'm sorry, and more because, I hope that from now on, there will be only one god in this world, and that is me. "
