Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth rotman's demon body
In a sense, Fufu was right at least in one sentence.
That is Him now, and he has not changed much from the person he was when he just completed the sublimation ceremony... or even from when he was a teenager.
It can also be said that He entered "eternity" without any progress.
He is still the boy who had his life cut off for cheating while gambling with the "White Robe King";
He is still the young man who had hidden his murderous intention for several years and murdered the "White Robe King" in the toilet;
He was still the great eunuch who killed almost all the descendants of the White-robed King, helped the "Calamus King" win the throne, and secretly controlled the state affairs... He was executed with nothing when he was executed by that good old man who was furious for the first time in his life.
the Avengers.
Even after becoming a god, Artabanus still harbored hatred for the "King".
That's why Fufu performed that bizarre and difficult sublimation ritual... Although he had the chance to become a god and was completely higher than mortals in terms of life status, he still couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart.
His desire to step into the gold level is probably "hatred" itself.
Because the sublimation ceremony itself is to rely on the eternal desire to climb to survive the emptiness of walking alone on the path of sublimation. And after reaching the light world and being immersed in the spring of the light world, let go of this realized desire.
Fu Fu relied on his own obsession to complete the first half.
But He still "couldn't let go".
Because of this, He was still one step short of becoming a true God.
From every angle, Artabanus had completed his revenge.
The White Robe King was murdered by him, and all the descendants of the White Robe King, including the Thirteen Brothers, Six Sisters, and Two Younger Sisters of the White Robe King, were all killed by him one after another. Even the White Robe King died in his death.
During the sublimation ceremony, the Gupta dynasty was defeated.
But even so, Artabanus still couldn't let go of this hatred, this shame, and this past pain.
Even if the root of all this comes from his "cheating".
And now that he has been a god for many years, he still can't forget his past. Because of this, the former Black Annan was able to set up a conspiracy and lure the corrupt husband out through "gambling".
Later, Bai Annan took Fufu's character flaws into consideration and defeated him in the nightmare. Even though Fufu himself came in person and took the absolute initiative, he was still easily defeated by Annan.
And now...
Because he was "defeated as a god by the hands of mortals", Annan's existence added new shame to Fufu.
In order to obliterate Annan...or in other words, in order to prevent Annan from looking for him to settle the matter in the future, Fufu even did not hesitate to become a dog for the worm.
So, Fufu had a new "Your Majesty".
But... what the worm is using now is the image of Black Annan.
In other words, in order to make up for the shame of being plotted by Black Annan, Fufu went to join the worm who is essentially no different from Black Annan...
"He is as patient and patient as ever, as stubborn as ever... and as stubborn as ever, he refuses to admit his mistakes."
When Annan's words fell, the fire that bloomed in front of him also disappeared: "Are you planning to backstab again, Artabanus?"
He faced the fufu who was coming towards him, without fear, without hesitation he raised the scepter in his hand and walked forward.
Not only did he not keep his distance, but he began to move closer to Fufu.
There was light flowing under Annan's feet, and a rainbow-colored shadow gradually condensed behind him.
And Fu Fu was not surprised at all by this.
"I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
Fufu said calmly.
He no longer used that feminine tone and said yin and yang weird words.
But he finally became serious.
Like a teenager whose voice has not yet changed, he makes sounds that normal people can say.
"I am indeed a despicable, petty and vindictive person. But I have sworn that I will never be afraid again. No matter what the outcome is, I am already prepared."
When Artabanus had a bet with the White-robed King in the past, it was the first time in his life that he failed... and it was also the first time that he cheated in order to escape failure.
But because the fear was too strong, Artabanus's cheating failed without a doubt. He was pressed on the table by the guards on the spot, and was directly sentenced to lose, and the marks belonging to the slaves were stabbed.
But he could not forget the whispers of the white-robed king at that time.
"Not all players will fail, just as not all people born will perish. But even so, those who always win are as rare as those who live forever... because no one can do everything.
"You are very smart, but that's all. You can't become a victor just by being smart...Wisdom without courage is like a wingless bird or a hypothermic fire."
From then on, Artabanus would occasionally review the game in his mind late at night when he couldn't sleep.
He thought, was he really destined to lose at that time?
Or is it because the rhythm was controlled by others, and I lost my composure... and therefore retreated steadily?
There is no doubt that it is the latter.
Because of fear, he ruined the victory; because of fear, he even failed to cheat.
From then on, Artabanus vowed to gain "courage".
He wants to regain the wings of a bird and the warmth of fire.
He wants to fly high into the sky and regain his freedom... He wants to make people feel the burning heat of this flame. He wants everyone who reaches out to him to wail in pain because of this hellish heat.
In the slave-laden Gupta dynasty, he was able to assassinate the king, murder the king's heirs, usurp the king's power, and murder the people as a slave. No matter what crime it was, if it was singled out and sentenced to death, it would be regarded as extrajudicial mercy.
If he was truly a coward, there would be no way he would have the guts to commit such a heinous crime repeatedly.
But does "not being timid" really mean having "courage"?
"It's just that hatred and evil thoughts have blinded your heart, causing you to lose the guidance of the eye of wisdom. But you think that you can look directly at that fear."
Annan sighed and continued to approach Fufu: "Sure enough, nothing has changed until the end. You are still stuck at the starting point of your life...still stuck at the day that made you despair, Artabanus."
"Even this time I opened with a jack."
Fufu whispered, his pace still not slowing down at all: "But I will never lose the courage to open cards again this time."
When the distance between the two people is only five steps away.
Annan and Fufu raised their right hands at the same time.
Behind Annan, the rainbow Valkyrie made of light appeared again, and in perfect synchronization with Annan, she raised the lightsaber transformed from her right arm.
And Fufu's right arm was also cracked inch by inch at this time.
The skin cracked like a plaster statue, bursting out with a clear white light.
That is the light of truth.
Moon-white radiance emerged from his peeling skin.
