Chapter 124: The heart that cannot tolerate failure
Player Super Justice Silver Chapter 124: A Heart that Cannot Accept Failure Hearing Ya Weng’s words, Annan’s pupils suddenly shrank.
This was a secret that was completely beyond Annan's expectations.
"...The driver of the Sky Chariot, was he killed back then?"
Annan murmured.
He originally thought that the chariot driver died in an accident.
But now it seems...it seems to be man-made?
But today's twelve righteous gods are all friends of the chariot driver. She is also the guide in the sublimation ceremony of the gods... Who can kill her?
"I don't know. We don't know anything."
Yawen sighed: "Perhaps Sisyphus was the only one who witnessed this event at that time. And after that, the body of the chariot driver was buried."
Speaking of this matter, his expression also turned a little gloomy: "But Sisyphus had not yet completed his sublimation. He was not a god... and at the gold level, he could not understand where the enemy was at all, let alone recognize it.
What is the attack?
"Sisyphus could only see the body of the driver of the sky chariot, which was suddenly shattered in front of him. And the sky chariot he was riding on fell from the highest point...
"Sisyphus's book of truth still exists, and his soul is not damaged by it.
"Although the chariot driver is dead, the chariot ritual can still operate on its own. With the help of the mysterious lady, he can also complete the ascension ritual. But Sisyphus really doesn't want to become a god. Or... he doesn't want to anymore.
See the overhead crane again.
"Sisyphus no longer believes in justice, let alone that he can uphold justice for this world.
"However, justice is a truth that must exist. Just as he promised, [justice will never die]. Justice will never die.
"So Sisyphus used his last energy to open up the way to the saints.
"In order to create the holy bones, he dug out his own heart. But at that time, he still did not die on the spot. Instead, he finished making the holy bones and entrusted his heart to the next generation [Justice], and even personally gave it to him.
heart transplant.
"Afterwards, he chose a silent death at a moment when no one was aware."
Although it is only half a step away from ascension.
But Sisyphus gave up the eternal life he had at his fingertips.
Because he was completely exhausted.
This is not a sudden, temporary blow. It is a complete denial of everything in life so far.
The gods he respected and the people he loved were torn apart in front of him. But he just watched helplessly, but could do nothing.
What kind of justice is this?
"It is indeed 'pale justice'..."
Annan murmured.
He could completely understand the mentality of "Sisyphus" at that time.
As the future God of Justice, he can't do anything.
The strongest desire was defeated by "failure". This made Sisyphus completely lose hope of becoming a god. He even no longer wanted to live. For him, eternal life is probably just torture.
Should I say...it's worthy of "pale justice"?
It really is so pale and weak.
but……
Annan suddenly realized something.
I once obtained the cursed "Heart of Sisyphus" in a nightmare.
That Sisyphus doesn’t seem to be the one he thinks he is who keeps pushing the stone to the top and then starts all over again. Rather, he is the “Heart of Sisyphus” in this world.
[Heart of Sisyphus: You must not despair because of failure.]
[This curse is attached to itself, has no maintenance cost and is automatically triggered. It will be automatically lifted when the conditions are met]
[Triggered when you fail any judgment three times in a row and try again]
[Before this judgment is successful, all your abilities applicable to this judgment will be temporarily +1]
[This curse can be triggered infinitely, but each time this curse is triggered, the erosion rate is +1; if it is triggered multiple times on the same judgment, the erosion rate will be increased by +2 the second time it is triggered, for a total of +3; on the third
When triggered, the erosion degree will be increased by +3, totaling +6, and so on]
[A loser’s last gift, and a tribute to Denton]
"Don't despair because of failure... and what is a loser's last gift?"
Annan murmured.
He vaguely realized something.
Why...he clearly thinks that he is not so "just", but he will be chosen by the "righteous heart";
Why is there a "madman who soars because of love" in "Praise to the Name of the Sky Chariot";
Why is the curse of Sisyphus' heart requiring "not to despair due to failure";
Why does Zhiji hope that he can inherit the "heart of justice" before advancing to gold...
"The Heart of Sisyphus...is it the curse left by Sisyphus back then?"
Annan couldn't help but ask: "Zhiji, did you say that to me because I had a curse?"
"It is indeed because I saw this curse of yours that I suggested that you get the profession of Sisyphus. This curse will definitely make you and the heart of Sisyphus and the profession of Sisyphus fit very well..."
Zhiji shook her head slightly: "However, [Heart of Sisyphus] is not the curse left by Sisyphus. Rather, it is exactly the opposite...
"It is precisely because of the failure of Sisyphus that such a curse was born in the world. There will no longer be a third heavenly carriage in this world, which means... there is no room for failure in this world.
"[Heart of Justice] is the entire condensed desire for 'justice' in Sisyphus's heart as the person chosen by "Pale Justice". Inheriting this holy bone is equivalent to inheriting Sisyphus's heart.
Pursuit: 'Let all those who seek justice in this world never give up hope'.
"...In other words, [Heart of Justice] hates Sisyphus himself very much."
"The will in the holy bones is also the will of the saint himself..."
"Yes, it is Sisyphus's 'original intention', which hates himself for being 'knocked down by failure.' Because of this, it specifically requires that the successors must not run away because of failure, let alone give up because of disappointment."
Zhiji said softly.
Yaweng, standing aside, suddenly imitated someone's emphasis and recited an ancient and strange language that Annan had never heard before:
“Justice, selflessness and no cowardice;
“Those who wield fire would rather die than be defeated;
“If one’s life is destroyed, fire will continue; if one flees from fire, it will be destroyed;
"When the lamb raises his head, there must be a star."
"……what language is this?"
Annan couldn't help but ask questions.
He had never heard this language before. It sounded like a clicking whisper, but in Yaweng's chanting, Annan understood the meaning of the words, just like a slightly awkward ancient prose.
"This is what Sisyphus said before he ascended."
Yaweng said slowly: "At that time, the chronology had not yet been determined. There were no seasons in this world... let alone these Yaselanders. Sisyphus was not even a pure flesh and blood life. If you use words that you can understand,
Say, Sisyphus is a living elemental of fire."
"...Fire element?"
Annan asked rhetorically.
For a moment, he didn't quite understand what [Heart of Justice] was like...
"It looks like a cross made of pale flames, about three or four meters high, with two ring-shaped chains shining with golden light overlapping each other to form an X shape, hanging in the middle of the cross. It
The sounds produced were the heavy buzzing coming from the depths of the flames, and the crisp ringing sound made when the chains rotated and collided.
"The buzzing in the flame expresses its will, and the ringtone is a modification of emotion. I have removed the emotional part of these words for you...so that you can probably understand Sisyphus's original decision.
"It initially swore to the driver of the sky chariot that it would rather die than escape from defeat.
"It believes that nothing in this world can make it despair because it has the chariot driver as its star. And it will also become the star of the world, so that all those who feel unfair can call it just by raising their heads. No matter what they endure,
No matter what kind of suffering, it will turn it into the fuel of the fire... And if one day it is defeated, then it will definitely be broken into the sky. The fires will fall to the ground like rain. At that time, there will definitely be new people to hold them.
Follow the 'Fire of Justice', inherit its position, walk on this path, and become the stars of all living things.
"Yes, in that era before the birth of the chronology system, Sisyphus had already prepared for his death. And that 'source fire' was the heart of justice.
"But it just didn't think about... what would happen if the sky chariot driver fell."
The "Fire of Justice" who swore that he would never despair finally despaired due to failure.
Therefore, the heart of justice can no longer tolerate any despair.
