Cold, familiar cold.
It was like being immersed in an icy abyss, the coldness soaking into the bone marrow along the frost on the skin surface, unable to wake up.
So, will it inevitably face the fate of erasure this time?
This has been a cycle that has been eliminated numerous times.
Every hundred years, its clone will wake up again and transform into a helpless crow, with no power at all.
Waking up again and again, spending countless years again and again.
However, every time it revives, it will be noticed by the will deep in the world, and it will be dragged into the depths of the prison of endless darkness.
What is waiting for it is another wiped out ending.
Then another hundred years pass, and everything starts over again.
This is already the tenth time, and Vega should have been numb.
But this time,
It is clear that it has finally found a perfect partner, and success is clearly within reach.
As a result, everything came to nothing again, and it had to face the long wait of a hundred years again.
Will it encounter such a good opportunity next time?
Sleeping in the cold abyss, Vega felt the silence around him, waiting quietly for a new beginning.
However, a sudden warmth gradually surrounded it.
Feeling this warmth, Vega couldn't help but feel the urge to open his one eye.
strangeness.
It seems that I woke up a little early this time.
Is it because I slept too deeply before and didn’t feel much?
However, this is also a good thing.
Maybe Victor will still be alive a hundred years from now?
He is so perverted, it is impossible for him to live to be a hundred years old and then die.
Although human life span is very fragile.
Um……
Still not right.
When Vega's broken guesses continued to gather together, this time, a strong burning smell came from its nasal cavity.
It's like... something is stuck.
why is that?
Did it revive in the furnace this time?
Finally, Vega felt something was wrong.
Because it feels very hot in the butt.
It was as if there was a flame that was gradually climbing up its entire body along its pitch-black tail feathers, and the flames directly touched its buttocks.
At that moment, Vega's one eye widened.
"Ouch! Hot, hot, hot!"
It flapped its wings in panic, trying to extinguish the flames that burned its tail feathers.
But when its wings flapped toward its butt, the bird froze.
what happened?
It hasn't been cleared yet?
With full of doubts, Vega looked around at the boundless red space.
This space was shrouded in a terrifying scarlet color, as if there was a dazzling flame burning in it.
And it felt like it was floating in mid-air, wrapped in endless flames.
Those flames seemed to have their own consciousness. Although the heat was scorching, they cleverly made an empty area for them.
Occasionally, the flames lightly scorch its feathers. Although this temperature is blazing, it is better than being completely engulfed by the flames.
Just as Vega used its deep single eye to examine the front, a sickle shining with scarlet light suddenly tore through the space and quickly struck it down.
Vega's entire body froze in mid-air when it saw this fierce attack, and its beak opened wide in shock.
But suddenly, a strong invisible force supported its body, and its small body was pushed violently like a piece of paper.
Vega felt the incoming external force, and clearly felt as if he had turned into a blazing flame and retreated, skillfully dodging the powerful blow that tore apart the space.
Soon, the flames and its body retreated to a relatively safe position.
Just as it came back to its senses, it heard an ethereal and slightly crackling sound of fire that seemed to come from all directions and immersed itself in its ears:
"woke up?"
This voice, and this special intonation...
It raised its head, its one eye widening.
What reflected in Vega's deep, dark eyes was a head surrounded by flames.
The blazing flames burned incredibly, like gaseous lava billowing in the air.
And the outline of the character outlined by this head... looks... unusually familiar.
"V...Victor?"
Just as the voice of surprise rose, Victor suddenly threw a ball of red flames from his palm.
boom!
The flame suddenly exploded and burst from the judge's body.
The skeleton body shining with scarlet light became slightly sluggish in its movements after withstanding the force of the explosion.
But this stagnation only lasted a moment.
Even the blood bar stretching towards the distant sky has not dropped at all.
Immediately afterwards, the judge covered in flesh and blood swung his robe and crawled across the ground in ferocious flesh and blood.
Like a beast with mutilated limbs, it rushed towards Victor.
Victor jumped slightly and flew up into the sky again, dodging the attack.
But as soon as he stopped in the air, a shining sickle quickly fell from the sky.
The fierce aura that tore apart the space attacked Victor again.
Victor, who transformed into the element of fire, quickly twisted his body and spread it into a sheet of flames that filled the sky. He led Vega skillfully around behind the judge.
Seeing Victor and the Judge fighting so closely, Vega's entire crow was stunned.
"Why are you……"
Before it could finish speaking, the ethereal and cold flame sounded again:
"I'm sorry to burn your ass, but you're a dead sleeper."
clang!
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor threw out another blow with his shield, perfectly blocking the judge's ribs that shot out through his cloak.
"But……"
It wanted to say that the thing in front of it was not a monster at all, it was an existence that no one could defeat.
But before Vega could say two more words, Victor's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting it.
"I know what you want to say, but it flashed its health bar at me."
Bright... bright blood bar?
What does it mean?
Vega suddenly realized that Victor's consciousness seemed a little confused, as if he had fallen into a state of extreme exhaustion.
Even talking seemed to fall into an instinctive state.
Oops, there may be something wrong with Victor's mental state.
Even his current fight seems like...
It's like using instinctive muscle memory to continue fighting with the opponent.
Seeing all this, Vega's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and asked Victor:
"How long have you... been fighting it?"
"Three days? Or five days? Or eight days?"
Victor turned into an element again and easily dodged the attack, his fiery and shining eyes still staring at the judge.
"It doesn't matter anymore."
"Now, I just want to beat it right away."
After hearing this, Vega's wide eyes gradually returned to calm.
It fell into a trance as it looked at the enemies that were constantly attacking in front of it.
Vega slowly closed his eyes, feeling the fragmentation of the surrounding space and the scorching sound of the flames.
As if he had made up his mind, Vega slowly opened his one eye again.
However, this time, a flash of blue flashed in Vega's deep, dark eyes.
【connection succeeded--】
"Dude."
"I am willing to believe you unconditionally."
…
Hermes raised his head, and his face was illuminated by a baptismal firelight.
He looked at the burning supreme sky, and finally his eyes fell on Erica, whose body was wrapped in flames.
At this moment, Erica, who was completely composed of pure elements, burst out with dazzling and terrifying flames like a beast.
Even the windbreaker behind her shimmered with fire as it swayed in the slight wind.
The depths of Hermes' golden pupils reflected a dazzling red color, and he seemed a little moved.
"It's so beautiful."
Seeing this scene in front of him, Oberly put away the red spear in his hand and put his hands behind his back.
He also raised his head, but his eyes fell on the huge door where twisted machinery and flames coexisted.
"Guide the gods and return to the world."
"Is this your plan?"
"No."
Hermes shook his head.
He knelt on the ground, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the steps above the door, going deep into the sky.
"This is the plan of the gods."
To return to the world, the gods needed more than just faith.
They are blocked on the throne of the sky, and someone needs to appear to break the blocked ladder of gods.
"So, we created this program."
He looked at the huge door again, looking at the millions of souls roasted by the flames inside, and said slowly:
"Countless immortal new bodies will resurrect in this ancient virgin land."
"And this is just the beginning."
Having said this, he looked as if he had been relieved and laughed.
"Even if you kill me, it won't help. I've done what I'm supposed to do."
"And Victor will never come back."
He changed his previous calmness and said with a smile:
"The next step will be a new era."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hermes opened his eyes violently, his face full of anticipation.
He looked at the huge door that was engulfed in flames, feeling nervous inside.
Countless flame steps also trembled in response, stirring up flames several meters high.
There was also a red smoke rising from the center of the door.
"Succeeded..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.
"Our plan was successful..."
But suddenly, Oberly looked at the huge door and smiled softly.
"Is it?"
At this time, Erica felt the windbreaker behind her suddenly float.
She seemed to feel something, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the blazing mechanical door.
Then, within the giant flame door, hazy red smoke began to flicker.
As bursts of orange light flowed through it, light and shadow intertwined.
The terrifying roar and high-temperature heat wave attracted everyone's attention.
They held their breath and concentrated, as if some incredible monster would step out of it at the next moment.
Suddenly, a "Whoo!" sounded.
From the flame door, one foot stepped out.
Slight flames and red smoke swirled around his trouser legs.
Immediately afterwards, half of a man's body slowly appeared from it.
In that moment, Hermes went from excitement to crazy surprise.
"Here they come, they are finally here!"
From behind the gate, the man's entire body came out.
The burning shoulders and the head wrapped in endless flames walked out of the door one by one, revealing themselves to everyone.
But suddenly, the laughter of the ecstatic Hermes, whose eyes widened and his mouth opened, stopped abruptly.
Even the surprise on his face seemed to be frozen, solidified on his face.
"It seems you don't welcome me very much."
The person walking out of the door said softly.
As the flames on his head gradually dissipated, Victor's cold face was revealed among the ash fragments that faded from the flames.
At this moment, everyone could clearly see the man walking out of the door.
All of a sudden, their eyes widened in shock, and they froze on the spot.
His mouth opened wide, but no words came out.
I could only feel the strong heat wave hitting my face, and my eyes were full of surprise and surprise.
Amid the astonishment of countless people, Victor twisted his neck and made a crisp sound of bones being dislocated.
Then, a dark crow flapped its wings and landed firmly on his shoulder, pecking at its messy and burnt feathers.
At the same time, two cold gazes were shot at Hermes.
"But we came back."
