Chapter 387: The Last Chapter: The End!
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong! The world was shattered, and now the world is going to amend itself again. the heaven and earth will be silent, mourning the dead of the old, celebrating the birth of the new."
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong! The world is going to amend itself in four hours. No living thing can escape from this repair, no power can stop this repair, and nothing will be able to shatter the world ever again."
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong! The process will take years, but those who are worthy enough will be rewarded, and those who aren't will be stockpiled. Pray you are worthy, or pray to live as a sheep."
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
The sound kept thundering the whole world, shaking it from the foundations to the top, making me feel how small I was, how fragile I was, how helpless I was.
The bell-like sound kept happening for a few minutes before it stopped, abruptly like it started. The whole world ushered under a heavy silence, like the world itself was terrified to make a single sound, us included.
I glanced, after long minutes, around myself to find everyone was standing speechless, stupefied in action. Weapons were midway in the air, and they were still there! even my spear was stagnated in the middle of the air, like it was caught off guard by some invisible hand.
"I have four hours," I muttered to myself, trying to awaken me from the frozen me. "I have four hours I have four hours" each time I said it, I felt great power rising up inside me, until I totally managed to shake the fear away, regaining my former self, shouting like my usual true self:
"We have four hours! Kill them all!! Snap!"
The next moment I snapped, taking back my spear before I threw it towards the nearest gathering of traitors. The spear went to the front with its usual domineering momentum, killing everything in its way.
"Kill them all! Snap!" I shouted again before recalling my spear, and sending it away once more. I kept shouting one time after another, until my players were jolted awake by my shouts, and they started cheering after me, while returning to jump over their enemies, harvesting them like harvesting dried wheat.
"Kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
"Kill them all!"
I smiled while glanced back at my two demons. They were jolted free from the shackles of fear a long time ago, and they joined me in killing the players everywhere. "Four hours, let every second count," I said, while nodding, and they just nodded back to me.
There was nothing much to say, there was only four hours left, and we needed to kill as many of these players as possible during these hours.
As I attacked, flashes of my past life appeared in scenes with each strike of my spear. Here I was still eight years old, in one of my glorious battles. This was the moment when I triumphed over my biggest enemy in my first largest battle ever.
Here I suffered my first defeat, and here I learnt about the engagement proposal. Here was my first escape attempt, it failed, and right now I felt conflicted about it; was it good for me to miss these escaping attempts? Or bad?
I really didn't know the answer to that!
Here I met Respon for the first time, and those fascinating mechas around us were really something I would never forget, and always regret for not having them in large numbers so far. And here I went to the game, escaping successfully from Respon and his harem palaces.
Or I thought I was escaping, didn't know they would stick to me, even until this moment!
Here I met Shin, here he taught me everything, and here I wanted to smash his annoying mouth to shut up! And here he went missing, forever, sacrificing his life for me, doing things I wouldn't know its value, not even till now.
Sigh!" I sighed, with much regret and deep pain in my heart. If there was a thing to regret about, deeply and truly regret, it would be Shin! I never managed to repay his kindness, or even rescue him. I even didn't know where he was confined, alive or not, safe or not.
"I just hope you will be good in the next world," I muttered, as I kept attacking my enemies, recalling the harassment I had on the hands of the noble groups first at the novice village, my first ever spear battle and the announcement of my rebellious move against the nobles.
And Respon betrayal to my betrayal!
This idiot, this really good for nothing man was really irritating me! I really hoped he would be killed, along with all of his dirty harem, with the hideous Britty on top of them.
I just hoped they would be one among the many my spear devastated and killed, as this would give me much satisfaction and content.
I glanced at my two demons, recalling the time I acquired them; both came with much hurdle and great trouble. But they were both worth the trouble for sure! I couldn't get this far without their help, my demon strength and my demoness mind. I was so glad that I had them in my life, and I hoped they would stick around in the next one as well.
I recalled the witch's prison, the moment I got it, the moment Shin disappeared, and I became alone; totally alone.
"Sigh," my relation with the witch was really quite complicated. In fact, this lady of ancient times controlled my life from the early hours of it, with the prophecy that shaped entirely my life.
"The prophecy" I sighed, as the prophecy was proven to be true, after all I was a great instigator, if not the main one, behind destroying everything in the universe and starting out from the scratch!
I didn't know how I should feel about the witch; should I be happy with her help and the inheritance that she left for me? or be angry for all the troubles she left for me and the mess she couldn't handle, and I had to deal with it? I really couldn't make up my mind, but all I knew was that I was moving like a puppet, following the ancient machination of her that sat up for me; and even in the new world I had this feeling I wasn't totally free from her schemes.
"I just hope you don't cause me much pain or great trouble later on," I muttered, as I guessed the next days in the new world would be harder, much harder than now.
I threw my spear out again, while the four hours period was about to end. I glanced at those players down below, their panicked faces, their shouts and screams that I didn't get anything from, and I didn't care about.
They were traitors! Out of fear or desire, I didn't care! The reason didn't really matter, only the consequences were important, and they made a grave mistake here.
I hoped to kill them all, but I now knew many would escape, either from me or from my upfront army. the enemy of mine was really cunning and resourceful, and I was blinded and misguided all the time!
I was pretty sure if Shin was still with me these days, his opinions would make a great difference, as he was different, he was always unique.
The last thought I had was about my family, my dad and mom, my little sister that I borrowed her name to play here all along, even forgetting my true name was.
I sighed, as I tried my best to keep them secured, away from harm from the dirty threats of Britty and Respon's black harem, however eventually it seemed that I failed to keep them safe.
After all they would die, without a single contribution point at all, added to the large number of people who would face the fate of being nothing, worth nothing, and hopefully they wouldn't suffer after this.
"Sigh, I don't know what else I could do, but at least I could have tried harder, sigh!" I shook my head, glancing over the world around, ushering in complete chaos and destruction, as the time was up, and the four hours rapidly passed by like water in slipping through my fingers.
"Sorry master, sorry Lady Nada, I couldn't save anyone," I finally said my last regret, asking for my two mentor's forgiveness, knowing for sure they wouldn't be here, wouldn't have any contribution point, wouldn't join the new life in the new world with me and others.
"Sigh!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong! The time is up! The world is going into deep slumber, with all of its children sleeping with it. after its full repair, the world will be reborn, a new like nothing before, and all of you mortals will have a chance to strive for hegemony and greatness; either as contenders or as supporters."
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
"Ding Dong!"
Finally the last words I heard were these, before the whole world started to grow dark in front of me. strength was seeping away from my body, while I lost all the sense of it, as I saw the sides of the balloon moving fast, overlapping with the sky and the ground, like I was rolling over, falling from high, descending endlessly into a deep abyss, enveloping me and everything around me.
And I fell into complete darkness, before darkness filled my mind and soul, and I lost my consciousness and awareness of anything, even me.
I died!
