Chapter 960
Episode 236. The fire of destruction, the cruel past (3)
The explosion quickly obscured Jin and Murakan.
Jin and Murakan had no choice but to revise their plans. Now that Elona had stopped, for the two of them to forcefully dig into Kelliac would mean the destruction of the realm of Jin Demons.
It is true that the Jinma World invaded Inse, but it was a huge tragedy due to Kelliac’s brainwashing.
Jinmagye without Jito is a place where people live like Inse. It was the home of billions of demons, and it was a world that existed underground.
I couldn’t stand by and watch the jinma world disappear. Above all, if the explosion was not properly blocked now, even allies outside the battlefield would suffer enormous damage.
Valeria’s side, as well as Inse’s fleet, which should have just arrived in Hell, will all be destroyed.
The residue that Keliac had just exploded was an unprecedented explosion, at least in the history of mankind. Also, it wasn’t just an explosion, it was also the flame god’s magic transformed by his authority.
The ultimate authority that Shinu obsessed over for a long time to overwhelm other gods before making the fire of destruction and the source stone.
The fire was now about to consume Jin and Murakan. Only the small space between Kelliac and Elona was unaffected by the fire.
“No, no… .”
Kelliac slowly descended toward Elona. Elona stepped back from her, her face white.
As the distance between the two grew closer, Elona’s hair was changing little by little. Her gray hair, her long hair, which symbolized her pure-blooded Jeep, was dyed golden.
Uncontrollable passionate emotions swirled in his chest. Memories from a thousand years ago that surge like sharp fragments, terrible experiments in the dark, days longing for the light, and a strong desire to put that laurel crown on your head.
Those things made Elona immobile. The old days and the meaning of existence that I realized when I met Jin just now were incomparable to the instinct for that laurel crown.
Kelliac stood in front of Elona.
Elona was still struggling to resist her instincts.
I tried to attack Kelliac by raising my magic power, and I tried to get away from him by moving my two legs.
However, the mana is unresponsive like a power source that has been turned off, and she is already on her knees. Her blank eyes, slow, stuffy breathing, eh, I couldn’t do anything.
“It’s a pity, what a life without knowing anything about yourself. All the truths you’ve worked hard to obtain are lies, and the numerous meanings you’ve given to find yourself are all futile obsession… … You are unfortunate, Elona.”
Don’t listen, don’t listen to what Kelliac says!
Occasionally, Murakan’s distant voice was heard. He and Jin were already far away from the two, trying to block the fire of destruction, and were being pushed back every second.
Elona did not recognize the voice. She was just hazy, as if she heard the echoes of the wind rushing through the cave.
Knowing that fact well, Kelliac didn’t care. Rather, it was like confirming once more that the two did not give up on the real world.
In that case, there will be no interruption of this bestowal ceremony by Jin and Murakan. Since there were two spearheads, it might be possible to prevent the complete destruction of the realm of demons, but even Elona could not be saved.
“They will want to help you. But will that really help you? Elona, your life is unhappy, you feel skeptical about destruction and slaughter, and you are always struggling with a sense of shame… … because you don’t know what you are And they can’t tell you that.”
Kelliac held the laurel crown close to Elona’s head. Now her hair was shining bright like the sun.
“So now you’d better take a moment to face yourself.”
Soon, the laurel crown landed on Elona’s head.
The laurel wreath moved like a snake and coiled around Elona’s head. Then it floated above her head and began to spin.
Elona opened her eyes again for the first time then.
Eyes were breaking. Fragments of the fragmented eyes filled the white wood, making it look like a small Milky Way.
At the same time, Elona began to fall into her memories.
* * *
It was about 2500 years ago that humans discovered Elona Ziple, or what could be called her prototype.
Back then, the name Runkandel still existed, and the wizards of Ziple, who were especially loved by the gods, held the hegemony of the world alone for a long time.
Reginald Zipple.
As the 4th head of Zipline, he discovers a ruin hidden beneath a kingdom in the Rutero Federation.
A land surrounded by the green light of life, a mysterious land that heals any disease or injury just by being on the land, as long as the perfect magical body is present.
There, you can’t feel hunger, and no matter how much power you use, fatigue doesn’t overwhelm you.
As soon as Reginald felt the power of the land, he designated it as Ziple’s ‘holy ground’. And only the family head and his closest aides were allowed to enter the Holy Land, and the secret is being kept to this day.
“This is not the land created by the existing gods, Vichelin.”
At Reginald’s words, Vichelin nodded. Vichelin was a sub-owner of Zipple at the time and a contractor for Melzaire.
“As the head of the household said, no god we know would be able to create such a perfect land. Not to mention Meljyer-nim, who signed a contract with me, and Shinu, whom we serve as our lord.”
“I have no intention of disparaging the gods. Because we are strangely loved by the gods and rule the world.”
However, if you think differently, the fact that Jiple rules the world with the power of a contract with the gods also means that he is a slave of the gods.
Escaping the control of the gods was Reginald’s long-cherished wish.
It was also the reason why he started obsessing over all sorts of ruins and artifacts of the past to find the secrets of the world. Therefore, it was no coincidence that Reginald discovered the Holy Land under the kingdom, and it was the fruit of Jiple’s investment of the most manpower and time.
The voice of God cannot be heard in the Holy Land. The gods cannot intervene in this land.
In addition, the gods have never talked about the holy land, and there were many cases in which they were completely unaware of the existence of the holy land.
That fact came to Reginald like fate. If we make good use of this unknown ruin, Ziffle might be able to become a god itself rather than a family loved by God.
“I think this place is a trace of some huge existence in the beginning. God of gods, creator of the world. It must be a trace of such an existence.”
“It is the land of the Creator… .”
“For those who have not seen this land in person, it would be an absurd story. But you and I can still feel it, Vichelin. The fact that this land is the realm of a more transcendent being.”
“That’s right, brother. Otherwise, there are too many things that cannot be explained.”
“We will study this land and become the true rulers of the world. The Creator has drawn us, that we are the ones who can surpass the gods and make the world perfect.”
Conversation between Reginald and Vichelin.
The reason Elona accurately remembers their voices is no different. She was, at the time, a tall tree in the middle of the Holy Land.
At the time, she did not understand human language, but she could remember. Unfathomably, she had been in solitude for a long time, and even though she did not know the meaning, she sounded infinitely sweet.
I want to talk to them.
That was Elona’s first desire. Every day she waited for Reginald and Vichelin to visit the Holy Land, and from then on, her waiting turned into agony.
A day or two began to become difficult for her, who had spent over a thousand or ten thousand years casually.
“Brother! Brother… ! Look at this, the holy water is being split in half!”
“What is this!”
“Something in the holy water… … Sa, man!?”
Elona had the power to turn longing into reality.
She subconsciously looked for a form more suitable for her activity than a tree, and that form resembled a person, like Reginald and Vichelin, whom she waited for every day.
“Tea, Creator!”
The girl who first came out of the tree was the Elona Ziple that people now know. She was more like the bitchelin who babbled her words, but her hair shone like the sun and small galaxies streamed in her eyes.
“Creator!”
Reginald and Vichelin knelt down and bowed to Elona. At that time, she realized that the world she had dreamed of and the world she actually faced were different.
The first human breath I felt after coming out of the tree.
The smell of them, their appearance, the clothes they wore, their manners, their expressions aroused a displeasure she could not have imagined.
Elona shuddered as if facing bugs in a vat full of swarms. Her brother and sister, lying on her stomach, did not see Elona’s expression at that time.
“right… eww.”
He only waved his hand once, showing disapproval.
Then, the magic of the holy land gathered and formed a sharp wind in an instant, and Vichelin was swept away without a trace.
Vichelin was the first to notice the change in Elona, but died without even seeing her face properly.
“Rain, Vichelin!”
Elona was not particularly moved by the death of the owner of such a sweet voice.
I just hoped that these filthy beings would disappear right in front of my eyes. However, once I saw something dirty, I also intuitively felt that I could never go back to the way it was before.
So from then on, Elona had only one wish.
To get rid of all the unpleasant things in the world.
“this… what is this Creator, we have chosen to serve you! Why would you do this!”
Elona didn’t answer and waved her hand again, trying to kill Reginald.
However, unlike Vichelin, Reginald took a defensive posture even in the midst of despair, and at the time he was the strongest human being in the world.
With his skill and combat experience, he avoided the seat while dealing with Elona’s simple and relentless attacks.
When he left the holy land and returned to his family, Reginald had lost an arm and the staff of the family head. The kingdom where the Holy Land was discovered was destroyed.
That was the first meeting between Elona and Zipple.
