In the few minutes before the seven-day deadline, time seemed to pass very slowly, and every minute was like torture for Howard.
During this process, he made himself determined again and again - because he needed to work hard to eliminate the influence of Lucifer's original memories deep in his soul.
The former Lucifer, as the most outstanding creation of the Goddess of Light, could be called a fanatic of the Light Church. After all, his head and thoughts were all handcrafted by the Goddess of Light. Naturally, he put the interests of the Church of Light first.
in the highest position.
But Howard in this life is different.
He holds many mortal memories in his mind - and these mortal memories can be said to have shaped his character in this life.
The process of making his choice is a war between himself and himself.
So, during this quiet waiting process, a blood-red sun slowly rose from the east, making the sky outside the window gradually brighter, and dyeing the clouds on the horizon into a dazzling orange-red. Looking from a distance,
It's like an oil painting with thick ink and heavy colors.
A ray of sunlight bypassed the curtains and shone in diagonally from the window, falling right on Howard's cheek, illuminating half of his face brightly, while the other half was still immersed in black shadow.
It looks blurry.
Just as the sun illuminated the entire room, something strange happened.
Howard's vision suddenly blurred, and the sudden bright light made him unable to open his eyes.
When he finally saw the things around him clearly, he found that he had left the room where he was originally and came to a magnificent hall.
Everything in this hall is glittering and extremely dazzling.
The walls, floors, and ceiling all seemed to be made of gold bricks, but somehow they didn't look tacky, but instead gave people a solemn and solemn feeling.
At this time, Lucifer's memory told him that this room was located in the kingdom of the goddess of light, and it was a palace built by the goddess of light with her thoughts.
The entire hall was filled with an extremely sacred aura, as if there was an invisible force urging people in the hall to prostrate themselves in worship.
At the same time, Howard also felt that the memory belonging to Lucifer deep in his soul had become extremely active, and might invade his will and dominate his soul at any time. He could only rely on perseverance.
It's hard to support here.
I don't know how much time passed, but the shadow of the goddess of light finally appeared in front of Howard again.
It was a beautiful woman wearing a long white dress with sparkling blond hair.
Although her face was a little blurry, Howard could feel that it was an extremely delicate, flawless face, and the proportions of her facial features seemed to have been precisely calculated, infinitely close to perfection.
If Allen were here, he would be able to easily recognize that this perfect-looking woman is the Elani Bright he saw in the dream world, the incarnation of the goddess of light.
I only heard Elani Bright, or the goddess of light, speaking to Howard in a plain and cold voice:
"Lucifer, the seven-day deadline has expired. Have you considered the issues I asked you to consider now?"
"I've thought about it." Howard said in a calm tone.
In the past few days, Howard had been worried about the arrival of this moment and was very nervous. However, when he really wanted to tell his answer to the goddess of light, he found that he was much calmer than he thought.
"Then how do you plan to choose?" the goddess of light said with a faint smile on her face, "Are you willing to pick up all the power and memories of your previous life and become the sharpest spear of the kingdom of light, to dispel the darkness and illuminate the world?
Fight to show off the world?"
The goddess of light's tone was still flat, but Howard seemed to feel a mysterious power from it, vaguely bewitching him and urging him to say "I do".
"I refuse." Howard said without hesitation.
This was actually the answer he had thought of a few days ago.
When he met with Allen, he once again confirmed his inner thoughts.
Now, after working hard to eliminate the interference of Lucifer's memory and withstanding the oppression of the Kingdom of the Goddess of Light, he finally succeeded in speaking out his true thoughts.
Howard's answer surprised the goddess of light.
The goddess of light is not a benevolent deity.
The reason why she was "tolerant" and gave Howard seven days of "thinking time" was not because she really intended to leave time for him to think, but because she hoped that Lucifer's consciousness could be completely awakened and fully occupied in these few days.
Dominance of this body.
In other words, Howard actually has no power to choose at all.
However, she never expected that during these seven days, Lucifer's consciousness did not completely swallow up Howard's memory as a mortal, but instead allowed the memory of this mortal life to dominate.
However, the goddess of light in front of her is, after all, the incarnation of divinity "Elani Bright".
No matter how shocking things happened, her face remained calm and perfect.
After a moment of silence, she stretched out her perfect and slender fingers and gently touched Howard's forehead.
Her posture at this time looked like a kind mother, gently comforting her beloved child.
But Howard felt an extremely severe pain in his head, as if someone had cut his head open with a saw, then taken out his brain, held it in his hand and observed it carefully.
The goddess of light is looking through Howard's memories of the past few days.
Because Howard's soul was shaped by her own hands with light and divinity, what she is doing now is reviewing her own works.
She wanted to know why this work, which she was most proud of, suddenly became disobedient.
Then she quickly saw a familiar figure in Howard's mind——
Alan York.
"It turned out to be him."
This was the first thought that came to her mind.
"It is indeed him."
This was the second thought that came to her mind.
The goddess of light has long known that Alan York is the successor of the God of Darkness, and also knows that Alan's current strength is very low. Compared with herself, it can be said that the difference between a firefly and a bright moon.
However, every time Alan York appeared in front of her directly or indirectly, something unexpected would happen.
For example, Catherine turned into bubbles last time.
For example, Lucifer escaped from control this time.
