The world behind the door of truth is entirely a world of memory and knowledge.
There is nothing in reality here, everything you see is book knowledge, past history, and memories of the dead.
He seemed to be swimming in the ocean of historical memory, watching those past scenes turn into a revolving lantern passing before his eyes.
At the end of the sea, an isolated island appeared.
It looks a bit like a misty island, but there are no other buildings on the island, only a workshop standing on the cliff.
It shines like a lighthouse.
Asai knew some stories about Anhofors. He once studied in the Isle of Mists, and the person who had the greatest influence on him was his teacher Haru, the Fire Demon.
And when he looked at the workshop, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.
It's like returning home.
That place must be the place where Anhofors spent the longest time on the Misty Island. It was also the isolated island and lighthouse in Anhofors's heart when he was a boy.
The fog passed by, and Asai stood on the isolated island.
There is a person waiting for him on the shore of the island.
"You're finally here." The other party said to him.
That voice was cold and calm.
With a sense of world-weariness.
Even if you can't see his appearance, you can probably guess that he is a person who is incompatible with this world. It is precisely because of this that he is persistently looking for things that do not belong to this world.
Asai walked over and the other party continued to speak.
"Asai."
"Are you here to get your past back?"
Asai responded: "Yes!"
"Come to meet old friends."
The other party was still carrying his back: "After getting the power of the past, what do you want to do?"
"You have been given the way to eternal life, you have been given the answer."
"Why are you still obsessed with getting everything back?"
Asai came to the other party's side. As long as he touched this shadow and opened his mind to the past, he could get back everything he had.
But at the same time, this "Anhofors" showed a weird smile.
However, Asai had no intention of touching him and just stood beside him.
"Why?"
"Because I want to beat you."
Asai looked at the man next to him quietly: "Stop pretending."
"You are not Anhofors, you are a man in a bottle."
"Anhofors"'s face changed little by little. It didn't understand that it was clearly imitating Anhofors's tone of voice.
"How did you find out?"
This is a trap set by the villain in the bottle for Asai. As long as Asai chooses it, the villain in the bottle can take away everything that Asai has now.
The door of truth will completely belong to the villain in the bottle.
According to its thinking, Asai had just defeated the Chief Priest of Truth and was at a time of great satisfaction.
But with such a door of truth placed in front of him, he could reach it as long as he stretched out his hand. It was impossible for anyone to remain rational at this time.
As long as his desire to obtain the Door of Truth is stronger, as long as he wants to get back his past memories, there is a high chance that he will take the bait.
But Asai is obviously not an ordinary person. He is so rational at the moment that it is scary.
Although he has not completely regained his past memories, those things belonging to Anhofors seem to have completely descended on him.
"Because a person may mistake others, but he will never mistake himself."
"The man in the bottle."
"You don't know me, you don't know Anhofors, and you don't know anyone in this world."
"You are an existence in a bottle, with no human heart, no ideals, and no goals."
"You are neither human nor mythical."
"You're just a...monster who does whatever you want."
Asai looked at the shadow of the little man in the bottle, and he thought of his mother.
I thought of the people in my hometown, the chaos in Anhuo City, and Colin and the doctor.
He also recalled the story the doctor told him about the Holy Hand of Leicester, the legendary Holy Mountain and Cross City that were transformed into a realm of death.
"Wait for me on the Holy Mountain!"
"We will meet soon."
"If my pain and despair are to swallow the evil consequences I have created, then let me swallow all the evil consequences!"
"Anhofors created you, so I will end you with my own hands."
After Asai said these words, he walked past the shadow of the little man in the bottle and headed towards the workshop above.
The man in the bottle was enraged: "Anhofors."
"Why do you?"
"Why do you?"
It screamed hoarse and felt extremely humiliated.
"Why are you so confident?"
"I am more powerful than you. I am not a villain in a bottle. I am the mythical Anhofors."
"I am God, the God of knowledge."
"I was not created by you. My appearance is an arrangement of fate. I will end this era."
"After so many years, I have become stronger. You can't defeat me... You can't..."
However, Asai ignored it. The figure of the little man in the bottle gradually blurred behind Asai, and its voice gradually disappeared.
You can see a powerful force responding to Asai on the cliff, completely dispelling the power of the villain in the bottle.
Asai penetrated the fog and moved forward step by step.
Toward heights.
The moment Asai stepped onto the cliff path, the whole world changed.
The original stone staircase turned into a sky path.
The workshops at the top also decomposed instantly and turned into various buildings and wonders.
These things appear suspended and inverted, floating as if weightless.
Among them are splendid palaces bearing the imprint of the Samo family.
There is a huge stone tablet engraved with the legendary Moon Demon.
There is a blazing flask, but what is trapped inside is not the villain in the bottle, but terrifying fire demons.
In the center of it all was a lamp, and a man was sitting at a table writing something.
Surrounding that figure were ghostly shadows. These shadows wore crowns and seemed to be the former kings of the Samo family.
They gathered around the person at the desk, yelling and complaining unwillingly in that person's ears.
"The Eternal Life Plan."
"Our secret of eternal life is the most powerful, and we will definitely be able to find the power to achieve eternal life."
"Immortality, consciousness, eternity..."
Immediately afterwards, those figures transformed into a tall and strong man, just like his father.
He stood behind Anhofors, watching him.
"The way to eternal life must exist."
"Although we have failed in the pursuit of eternal life, Anhofors, I believe that you will be able to inherit my will and find the true path to eternal life."
Then, another figure appeared, which seemed to be a woman.
"Anhofors, your name is Son of the Dark River, you are the heir of the Samo family, and your blood is destined to become the most powerful person."
"Anhofors... Anhofors... Anhofors..." Countless people shouted Anhofors's name.
Those calls make people fearful, crazy, and desperate.
That is the obsession of Anhofors, the immortality plan of the Samo family, and the truth pursued by the fire demon Haru.
Gradually, Asai reached the heights along the stairs.
The light on the desk penetrated the void and fog and fell on him.
The light is golden red and somewhat dazzling.
The man on the desk finally put down his pen and closed the scroll.
It read: "Immortal forms and artificial beings."
The man turned around and looked at Asai who was coming up from below.
This person is exactly the target of Asai's trip, the old friend in his mouth.
Not the people on the execution ground, nor the man in the bottle.
But Anhofors.
They have never seen each other before, but they are so familiar.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Asai originally had many topics that he wanted to ask him: why did he create the Bone Demon, why did he create the villain in the bottle, and why did he sacrifice everyone on the Holy Mountain.
Does he know how devastating the mythical monster he created has caused?
eternal life.
Is it really that important?
At this moment, in front of Anhofors, he understood everything.
Anhoforth seeks eternal life, the answers that the Samo family has pursued for countless generations, and the truth that the fire demon Haru longs for.
This is the meaning of his life, something he has been searching for for generations with his faith and family.
It was he who was willing to give up his own life and sacrifice the entire Holy Mountain and what everyone was looking for at all costs.
Anhofors is an evil mage, and there is no doubt about his dark past, which cannot be erased no matter how many excuses are made.
That's exactly what it is.
Nothing needs to be said.
Because what caused him to become an evil mage, what caused him to become an evil in this world, was his eternal belief and meaning of existence.
No one can convince him, and he doesn't care what others think.
Just like Asai, he wants to drag down the villain in the bottle that destroyed his happiness and his dreams from the seat of the false god on the holy mountain at all costs.
Anhofors looked at him: "See?"
"That was an extremely dark memory. Compared to the despair you faced, the things I carried were much heavier than yours."
"At least you have had happiness, but I have never had happiness."
"Do you still want to get back this past?"
Asai walked up firmly: "If you don't retrieve everything you once had, you can't defeat the villain in the bottle."
Anhofors spoke coldly: "Do you really want to be a hero?"
"Isn't a hero like Lester, the Holy Hand, enough to make you feel despair?"
"You should have woken up from your dream long ago and recognized the reality!"
Assai held his head high, his steps getting faster and faster, almost running.
He was constantly approaching Anhofors at the height, wanting to touch him.
"I'm not being a hero, I'm just not letting this mistake continue."
Anhofors: "Boring."
Asai said loudly to Anhofors: "You have nothing to remember about this world anyway, so just give me everything you have!"
Anhofors laughed, with contempt for the world and everything in his laughter.
"A boring world, boring people."
Finally, he looked at Asai and said something.
"besides!"
"Boring me."
At this time, Asai immediately ran to only a few meters away from the desk.
Anhofors stood tall in front of him, and Asai jumped up and grabbed the corner of Anhofors' clothes.
Anhofors's whole body was shattered in the blink of an eye like a mirror, and finally exploded into countless tiny mirror dust. Each of the tiniest fragments reflected the shadow of Anhofors's past.
The fragments flew apart and spun around, and I was shocked to see Asai's appearance reflected on the other side.
Asai finally got his past back.
The figures of the two people overlapped, and Asai finally became the true master of the Door of Truth.
Anjo City outside.
The door of truth opened completely, and Anhuo City was flooded by the burst of light.
But after the light disappeared, the door of truth also disappeared——
Anhuo City is a hundred miles away.
This place is not far from Asai's hometown of Rolling Stone, and the skeleton puppets placed people on the ground one after another.
These people were the people Asai rescued from the execution ground. Most of them were residents of Rolling Stone Town, Asai's hometown, and even the township children who were extremely annoying when Asai was a child. Now they have grown up.
It's just that when Asai recalled those past events at this time, he felt as if he didn't care anymore.
These people suffered a terrible disaster because of Asai, and witnessed the extremely terrifying battle between the two divine priests. They were still panic-stricken at this moment.
A young man stood up and looked at Asai in disbelief: "Asai, what on earth have you done?"
Asai's words made them confused: "I didn't do anything, just because I didn't follow the rules of the game they set."
The young man was terrified. He was afraid of Asai, and he was also afraid of those who wanted and arrested them.
"Although we came out because of you, where is the wanted order?"
"What should we do next?"
Asai: "The wanted order was issued by the evildoers of the Ghost Religion. The Temple of Truth will arrive soon. All those evildoers will be cleared away, and all your wanted orders will be invalidated."
The young man couldn't believe it: "Is it over like this?"
Asai nodded: "Yes!"
"Everything you have faced is over."
"Just pretend that you have never known a person named Asai, and you can live a peaceful and stable life again."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"Everything is the same as usual."
The skeleton puppet stood up and prepared to carry Asai to a distant place.
At this time, the captain of the St. Ann District Security Team, who had worked with Asai for a long time, caught up with him.
The captain and Asai had many conflicts and quarrels.
But we also worked together to arrest many criminals, and had many happy and proud experiences.
"Asai!"
"you……"
He had many things to ask, but among the countless questions he finally asked only one question: "What kind of person is he?"
Asai turned his head and looked at him.
He showed a somewhat gloomy smile: "I'm just a lonely person!"
He ran alone into the distance, and at the end of the road his only companion Polik was waiting for him.
Polik knelt down on one knee: "Sir, what should we do next?"
Asai looked in the direction of the Holy Mountain: "Get ready for the final battle!"——
On the holy mountain.
The trap of the villain in the bottle in the door of truth was seen through by Asai, making him furious.
Especially what Asai said to him later made him feel extremely humiliated.
In the square in front of the Sky Temple, the little man in the flask roared outwards with all his strength.
"I am God."
"God cannot be defeated."
"No one can defeat me, not even Anhofors."
The little man in the bottle kept knocking on the bottle, as if he wanted to come out, but he couldn't shake it.
"I'll come out and I'll tell you all."
"I am the strongest."
"I will sound the death knell for you all, the death knell of this era!"
"I will move into the next era."
"And you bugs will be left in this era forever, in the dust of history."
