Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 36 The Last Guardian

Who would have thought that the 'Old Town of Tadar', which was supposed to be the starting point of the end of the world, would actually become the last remaining shelter in the end of the world.

Who would have thought that the doomsday god who was supposed to destroy the world would become the guardian of the world.

Very ironic.

Li Pu's mood was very complicated at this time.

‘Am I late? Am I late again? '
  I was only gone for a few hours. By the time I get back here, it will be in ruins.

In just such a short sleep, all those living people disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye.

The only thing I can be thankful for is that my entanglement with this world is not deep yet. Therefore, he can still let it go.

I don’t know how many people I know are still alive. In the last moment, he planned to meet.

There is not much left in the 'Broken Tadar'. Generally speaking, it is just one street and a few alleys. It doesn't take much effort to walk around it.

The buildings here are still in good condition, but there are a lot of plaques on the streets and walls. Moreover, the closer to the center, the moister it is and the more plaque there is.

After walking around, Li Pu didn't see anyone.

"No one lives in the outer area anymore," Katerina said.

"Peripheral area?" Li Pu was a little surprised.

This name is very strange, because there is only such a small part of the world left, so what are the outer areas and inner areas?

Katerina led Li Pu through an alley and headed towards a magic tower (Wizard Tower) in the center of the city.

Tadar is a magical empire, and the Queen is one of the most powerful wizards in the country. Therefore, there were originally many magic towers in the city.

Before the end, the main functions of these magic towers were to research topics, maintain barriers, and provide shelter for the city.

As for the magic tower, there is another rumor: after the evil spirits who were defeated by the Tadar people were executed, their bodies would also be secretly sent to these magic towers for research - the magic tower can extract the energy of evil gods, and can also Study evil gods.

Now, with the city shattered, this is the only magic tower left in the city.

But it still performs the functions it should have in the apocalypse.

This magic tower is the sanctuary that Katerina calls it.

"Originally, everyone prefers to live outside the shelter. The shelter is usually only responsible for research work."

The tall magic tower (sanctuary) in front was getting closer and closer, Katerina explained: "But as the time in the world was running out, everyone simply put down their last worries and went to stay in the shelter—— It’s deep underground.”

Obviously Tadar became the last shelter in the world after being bottled, but there is still another shelter in the city.

This is strange.

In addition, since there are shelters in the city, why are people unwilling to live in them, but prefer to stay in dangerous outer areas (streets)?
  This is also very strange.

Katerina's words were so confusing that people couldn't understand them at all.

Of course, you can't blame her, she's not trying to show off.

It's because from her perspective, she has been getting along with Li Pu day and night for ten years - she is used to talking to Li Pu. In other words, she subconsciously thought that Li Pu knew what she had said to him.

For ten years, Katerina took care of Lip every day.

She listens to Li Pu saying to herself every day, 'Don't give up on me! In fact, I don’t want to die yet. Who can save me? ’, and she encouraged Li Pu every day and told Li Pu what she had seen and heard to help him wake up.

Therefore, in her subconscious mind, she and Li Pu were already familiar with each other and couldn't be more familiar. Thinking that Li Pu heard what he said to him.

However, from Li Pu's perspective, only a few hours had passed.

During these hours, he just shouted over and over again, ‘Give me up, let me die, I’m hopeless! '.

He didn't know that someone was secretly taking care of him.

I don’t know what I actually want to say is “I want to live!”.

He didn't even know that someone stayed by his bed for ten years and said the same things to him for ten years because of his words.

He had no idea what was happening in his sleep.

Therefore, many of Katerina's behaviors seemed inexplicable to him.

"After Tadar was put into the bottle, you built a shelter in the city?" Li Pu asked his first doubt.

"Yes, because in the second year after bottling, the bottle gradually cracked." Katerina said.

Li Pu's pupils suddenly shrank.

"You mean the end came nine years ago, or even earlier?" Li Pu discovered a shocking fact: "The whole world lasted less than a year, and only one bottle was left. Got Tadar?!"

"To be precise, it was one day." Katerina said: "Heaven, hell, abyss, netherworld, sea kingdom, and human world. The six realms ceased to exist on the day the Saint opened her eyes. "

Li Pu: "Saint? Who is she?" "Saint of Heaven - my sister and my mother." Katerina said: "She has awakened all our sisters."

[The foolish saint of mercy, the foolish saint of heaven. The swollen saint with all eyes. The source of all evil, the mother of all gods]

【He has many names. 】

[In a sense, once the world enters the countdown, everything in the world will become his child at that moment. 】

[All seven gods were resurrected by him - he gave all the mad gods a second life. Therefore, Katerina calls him mother. That's right. 】

The truth in the narration is not only unclear, but also full of contradictions.

Therefore, Li Pu could not understand it for the time being. He put a label on it. This will make it easier for you to read and understand this god when you see him in the future.

"Fortunately, on the day when the world ends, there are still some survivors who survive." Katerina said: "Some people seem to have predicted this day, and they built these shelters."

"We met these people while searching for answers to save the world in the 'pages.' A connection was made."

[The Cruel Truth—Book Page: A vivid metaphor used by Tadar people for different planes, copies, and timelines. 】

[The Cruel Truth - Honkai Impact: In the apocalypse, people have been exploring different timelines and planes, looking for a place where they can continue to survive. But in the end, it was discovered that everything was in vain, because all dimensions and all timelines collapsed. 】

"Their shelter did not last long, so after a few months, everyone came over." Katerina looked around and said with regret: "The Holy City was still very big at that time, and it could not accommodate These millions of gods, demons, and humans.”

"But now it's been many years and I'm starting to wither. I can no longer maintain the Last World."

Li Pu understood something from these words.

"After the bottle shattered, Tadar should have been destroyed, but your power maintained the existence here?"

As he spoke, Li Pu pointed to the door of the tall tower in front of him: "Because the chaos from the outside world began to invade Tadar, it is very dangerous to live in the city, so you built a relatively safer shelter here?"

"Yes, it is relatively safe." Katerina said: "There are many 'doors' in the shelter. Explorers can enter different pages (dimensions), and researchers can conduct experiments with peace of mind here."

[Door: The Old God can open a door to different 'pages' (dimensions and time). 】

"Cagelina, if the shelter is so safe, why are people moving into the shelter at this time? What risks are they afraid of?"

Li Pu didn't understand what it was that made people fear this shelter more than the apocalypse outside.

Katerina didn't answer. She pushed open the door.

There was a loud bang, and a disgusting strong musty smell hit my face. Li Pu was so smoked that he retched.

The colorful clumps of moldy fluff grew everywhere on the wet floors and walls of the tower, like carpets.

Some bored researchers have even woven the colorful fluff that fell off the walls into colorful paintings, curtains and decorations.

The filth that thrives here is so disgusting. At least her smell made Li Pu vomit.

But there is nothing dirty here. Because under the careful management of her and the survivors, everything was in order.

Some women and children who were not responsible for research were squatting on the ground combing the carpet - those fluffs would look disgusting if they were even slightly messy. Reminiscent of their original appearance.

If you think too much, you will go crazy.

[It turns out that this is the 'bedroom' of a certain madman. 】

Suddenly, Li Pu recalled the plaque in the apartment.

And those plaques on streets and buildings.

"Nip. I do protect this world." Katerina said with complicated eyes: "But after all, I have two sides!"

Li Pu's mind felt like a lightning strike. He suddenly looked at the storybook in his hand, and at a line of narration that had appeared in the book before.

[——The seven gods were all resurrected by him, and he gave all the mad gods a second life. Therefore, Katerina calls him mother. That's right. 】

Katerina already knew who she was!
  Li Pu could never understand why this madman who had completely awakened stood on the opposite side of the Six Gods.

Just like he would never believe the crazy things Ayesha said on page 28 (Chapter) of the book. Those are all the backgrounds Ayesha based on the stories Li Pu made up, aren't they?
  The story he made up was outrageous enough. With the addition of Ayesha's artistic processing, it will obviously become even more outrageous.

But now a fact is before his eyes.

——Ayesha’s words have been verified, Katerina is protecting the world.

His power has long since been released and merged with the 'last broken world'.

As a result, a lot of bacterial plaque has grown on the streets and buildings.

The 'Sanctuary (Magic Tower)' is the place that contains the most power, so it is so twisted.

(The evil god guarding the world is by no means outrageous. It is not simply caused by Li Pu’s distorted cognition. Read on)
