Chapter 271 Let’s Sleep Again
At this moment, the center of the sanctuary.
In the dark sky, I knelt on one knee on the ground, my dim compound eyes flashed with a bright red light, and a dark line was outlined on the ground where my palm touched.
The rune of dark power was engraved under his feet, but surrounding the dark power was the Aguru rune that encompassed the entire sanctuary!
"you……"
Heishen's somewhat surprised voice sounded.
Above the body of the young man in black who was suspended in mid-air, a dark purple phantom of the Black God emerged.
He looked at the dark sky with complicated eyes: "You knew I would do this from the beginning. You came to see me alone just to wait for this moment, right!"
"Because I am your fighting weapon."
Dark Souga looked up calmly and said, "Since you have already decided to destroy humanity, then you don't need to care about my feelings anymore, right?"
Kawahara always remembered one thing.
A revelation given by someone - to fight against God, you must use God's power.
That's why he traveled thousands of miles to another world to take back the "power of creation". It turns out that everything he did was prepared for this moment.
Looking at the dark power emerging in front of me.
A smile appeared in Kawahara's eyes.
"I found you."
At the moment when the power of darkness tried to control him again with "Ultimate Darkness", Kawahara also used his own power through the darkness to lock the opponent's existence - the power of darkness itself.
That dark abyss is the embrace that created him.
It is also the swamp that binds him.
Kawahara could have caught him even when he threw himself into his arms, but because gods are immortal—
"I already know."
Kawahara looked at him and said, "Because of my existence, you will never compromise with the power of light. Perhaps you can accept Agito because of your love for humanity, but you will never admit defeat because of Promise's calculations against you. I am the proof of your complete failure."
The Black God stared at him intently.
After the Aguru rune that locked the power of darkness stabilized, familiar steel needles rose from all directions of the sanctuary, covering the area in blockade.
Kawahara stood up slowly, and Kurogane's bright red compound eyes stared at Kurokami.
He said in a calm voice: "In this case, just like you and the angels fell asleep together 30,000 years ago, enter the seal again."
God is immortal.
All he could do was use this power to send God into a long sleep once again.
"You have plenty of time."
Kawahara smiled slightly: "So the future of mankind and Agito, you won't have to wait too long."
However, the Black God said calmly, "You can't do it. No matter what, your power comes from me."
His phantom reached out his hand toward Kawahara.
But Kawahara took a step forward without any fear. The Aguru rune covered with the power of darkness seemed to be burning with black flames, making him standing above even more imposing!
"I can do it!"
Kawahara looked at him with sharp eyes: "Because my power not only comes from you, but also comes from outside the world! It was you who made the change yourself!"
Heishen's expression was suddenly startled!
The locked dark power did not react, because Kawahara used himself as a carrier to block this power, and now he came from "outside the world", which was a power that was destined not to be controlled by the Black God!
The steel needles above have gradually gathered together, bending downward towards the center of the sanctuary and twisting into a ball, like a flower bud about to bloom.
Destroy the body of God, then take his consciousness into sleep, and seal God with himself - this is Kawahara's plan!
However, Heishen slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, "I am surprised that you can do this, but this level cannot change the result."
His phantom incarnation raised his hand, and his suspended body released a wave of energy.
Kawahara clearly felt the power in his body being disturbed. The dark power symbol under his feet slowly expanded in all directions, and the dark purple glow complemented the Agur patterns covering it.
The ultimate darkness within him was affected.
The will that was about to get out of control surged up again.
Kawahara groaned, but he tried hard to suppress his boiling anger.
"You probably don't understand..."
The dark red compound eyes of Kuuga looked forward.
Kawahara panted and said softly, "Before I came back to this place, I had already experienced death. After I came back, I was tortured by this ultimate dark power, which was equivalent to dying once again. Therefore, there is nothing in me that I cannot give up anymore."
He looked at the Black God in front of him.
"In order to fight you, I will definitely spare no effort to use all my strength, even if it means opening the door to the world!"
"..."
The faint smile on Heishen's face had disappeared long ago without him noticing, and he just stared at him with an ambiguous look.
The two looked at each other for a while without giving in.
Black God slowly put down his hand and said, "I warned you before about the impact that using this power would have on this world. But now, you have not only handed the future of this world to Agito, but also to invaders from outside the world - I thought you would never do this."
Kawahara lowered his eyes slightly.
He originally thought that he didn't dare to do so.
But who made the Black God create him?
Human beings are "children" created by God in His own image, so God is extremely tolerant of children, but he is just a weapon specially created by God - and a failed weapon at that.
There is only an uncompromising desire for control over weapons.
With his existence, acknowledging the power of light is to admit God’s complete failure.
So no matter what Kawahara says or does, Kurokami has to win once to prove his correctness and control, even if it means destroying all of humanity.
Kawahara looked at Kurokami and thought he was just trying to save face. But he was already a god, so it was okay for him to save face.
It's just a bit of a human cost.
However, Kawahara's action cost a world for the sake of humanity.
He knew that connecting this world with other worlds might lead to various situations in the future - such as the intrusion of a destroyer from a certain world, or even more terrifyingly, the intrusion of a demon king with a time robber.
But if we can't even stop what's happening right now.
There is no need to talk about the future.
After all, the power of darkness is the true creator god who has existed since the beginning of time. God's power is inherent and invincible, and Kawahara has no other choice.
So he does not regret his current actions.
First of all, the future of mankind.
What follows is the future of the world.
"If humans are gone, they are gone forever. Even if you, as God, create new humans, it will have nothing to do with the current humans, because every human being is unique and irreplaceable in my eyes."
Kawahara whispered, "Even if history were to repeat itself, they would never be the same."
The black god's eyes staring at him moved slightly.
There was silence between the two.
But the next moment.
The phantom of the Black God's face changed, and he suddenly raised his hand to cover his chest in pain. At the same time, a shining light emanated from his floating body.
That is - the power of light!
Seeing this, Kawahara paused for a moment.
He then looked back and saw Tsugami Shoichi rushing in with the dark aura that enveloped the sanctuary like a storm!
"Mr. Kawahara!"
Tsugami Shoichi looked at the dark Kuuga with joy.
Kawahara responded and smiled: "You are finally here, Xiangyi, hurry up and take back this power that belongs to you. From now on, the world will be left to you to protect!"
However, after looking around, Shoichi Tsugami ran straight towards him.
"What are you talking about, Mr. Kawahara? Sayaka-chan, please let me stop you from doing these things, otherwise it will cause irreversible consequences! - And of course, this world needs us to protect together, please stop it quickly!"
Shoichi Tsugami, who said these words, rushed over and pressed down on his shoulders. Kawahara, who was a little dazed, was knocked back and staggered out of the range of the dark power symbol under his feet.
But he quickly stopped and asked anxiously: "Wait! What is irreversible?"
"Hey——Because Mr. Kawahara is planning to sacrifice himself, right?!"
Tsugami Sho said with a serious face: "How can you do this alone? If Mr. Kawahara does all these things without permission, then we are just being protected by you! I will never let you fight alone!"
Kawahara: "..." He thought it would lead the world to an irreversible point.
Just as Kawahara felt relieved, there came the sound of Kurokami gritting his teeth in suppressed pain.
"Agito!"
Sho Tsugami turned his head and looked over subconsciously.
Although Shoichi Tsugami did not actively summon his own light power, because of his approach, the light power that had been suppressed before began to resist fiercely again, which made Kurokami, who was already in a bad mood, feel even worse!
Seeing this, Kawahara immediately took a step forward and waved his hand. The golden symbol on the back of his left hand flickered, and the Aguru pattern outlined on the ground seemed to respond.
The Black God suddenly felt that the power of light was struggling more violently, but he was no longer able to control it. The sigil shrouded in the power of darkness restrained his power even more tightly.
His eyes looking forward gradually became deeper.
"Shoichi, take back your power now, I need you to help me!" Kawahara spoke seriously at this time.
"okay, I get it!"
Hearing this, Shoichi Tsugami also stepped forward quickly, as if he had already understood what he should do at this moment, but in fact, he just raised his arms and made a transformation gesture, staring at the Kurokami opposite him with burning eyes.
"If you control the fate of all mankind, then I will take this fate back from you!"
As these awe-inspiring words fell, the Black God, who was tortured by the power of light, groaned, and a shining ball of light floated out from his body.
The Black God Phantom was furious when he saw this scene!
"Why...I love humans so much, why do you have to betray me like this!"
His aura of extreme grief and anger almost made the whole world tremble, and Kawahara had a vague premonition of something.
At this moment, the phantom of the Black God fell into the floating body. He opened his eyes and stood up, his golden hair disheveled in the strong wind.
At this moment, there was unprecedented determination in his eyes!
As the power of light flew over, Kurokami had already stretched out his hand towards Shoichi Tsugami.
An expression of pain involuntarily appeared on his face, yet there was also a sense of calmness as if all hope had been lost. His dark eyebrows and eyes were cold and indifferent, yet tears were falling from them.
Heishen never had the heart to kill a child with his own hands.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare.
Because of what happened thirty thousand years ago, he already knew that he would be in great pain.
So he drove the angels to do it, and so he created a weapon to replace himself. Even if he wanted to destroy mankind now, he was unwilling to do it himself, but instead deceived himself and manipulated mankind to commit suicide.
God has such complex and contradictory feelings towards human beings.
