The Righteous Player(s)

"You never thought of it, I never needed you... I didn't need a half-length body from the very beginning."

　　 The voice of Skeleton's father is very calm.

　　 It was like an old man chatting with a younger generation, but his words made Elei so scared.

　　 "Father, don't..."

　　 "All I need is another demigod who holds the mark of the Betrayed, to be a witness to this scene."

　　 Skeleton Duke continued to walk forward slowly.

　　 It was originally the place to prevent the burial of the god-in-law statue, but now it is empty.

　　In the illusory, abstract world like the enchantment of a witch, many tombs appeared in the open space in front of the skeleton. Each tomb is covered with a crown.

　　 As soon as the bones stepped on them, all of these tombs collapsed and turned into bottomless pits.

　　 There is nothing in it.

　　 And all the other "houses", that is, the original "graves" of the giants, also broke down one after another.

　　 The entire underground of the Funeral Song Principality, all the tombs collapsed.

　　 "I hadn't realized before... Burial is forgetting, and forgetting is betrayal. And the tombstone is the last memory of the deceased.

　　 "It is my only weakness, a bridge between the living and the dead...

　　 "- But if it is destroyed by me, then it is the most important ‘beginning’."

　　 From the very beginning, Skeleton was more than just a "betrayer."

　　 But why is he missing the "betrayed" side?

this is very simple.

　　Because people set up a tomb for the Grand Duke before he was buried.

　　 "Our tombs are all sealed, do you know what this means?"

Duke Skeleton said slowly: "The extraordinary bury ordinary people, priests bury believers. The elders bury children, husbands bury their wives, sages bury apprentices, and curses are passed on from generation to generation. And I am the oldest and most holy among them. People...no one can bury me.

　　 "I buried everyone, and in the end I was the only one left. No one knows where my despair is-poison cannot kill me."

　　Even if it is more poisonous, it cannot kill [Eternal Life].

　　 The poet has a cloud, and the kingdom of giants inherits the curse of immortality.

　　 But it was not a curse, but a very grand drama in which everyone participated in the performance.

--Yes it is.

　　Because everyone doesn't know... The skeleton cannot kill himself at all. Their beloved Eternal Father has long since become an immortal undead.

　　 It is logical.

　　 Bones became a god...but it wasn't because of his betrayal during the burial, but because of his betrayal earlier-three hundred years ago.

　　 In order to fight the "dead tide" in the south, the Principality of Immortality has fought deadly against the undead for five hundred years, and completely wiped out the undead. They will kill themselves when the Great Enchantment collapses, just to prevent themselves from transforming into undead...

　　 But everyone didn't know that their Grand Duke was an undead from the very beginning.

　　-All their efforts, all sacrifices, all decisions... are doomed to failure.

　　 "I didn't do anything. I didn't raise anything. I didn't object to anything. Because this is not something that I can object to, and I can't even make it public."

Duke Skeleton said slowly: "Because [Eternal Life] was just a tombstone from the very beginning. He is the tomb of all those who are dying, and a symbol and totem for all those who have abandoned everything to go to the underworld. With tools only.

"They decided everything on their own, and I watched the country collapse...everything died. Above the noisy land, there is no more life, and the ones buried under the land are with them. Like the ancestors of... the giant who walked safely towards death.

　　 "——I am the only one left."

　　The undead will not be killed by the gray mist from the very beginning.

　　 He was left alone.

　　 Is that hatred?

　　 also not.

　　 The eternal blood should be cut off from ‘I’, and I will be the only tombstone in the future-this is the sacrifice and decision made by the [Eternal Life] back then.

　　 That is not revenge or betrayal.

　　 is the deception that occurred four hundred years ago, and it must come [answer].

　　 When Lord Yongsheng decided to turn into a skeleton four hundred years ago and end the ridiculous, circular drama, everything was doomed.

　　 Betrayal occurred four hundred years ago.

　　 And his experience of being betrayed lasted longer. As early as when this "tradition" of the Principality of Immortality took shape.

　　 The clown-like clan that has the blood of "immortality" and wears masks for the whole life... From the very beginning, the ruler who has been deprived of the right to "dead". This is the cruelest punishment for the giants who yearn for the "mustful death"-they can't rest until they die.

　　 However, someone must remember the death of all people in order to maintain an orderly rule, maintain the relationship between people, and maintain this crumbling kingdom of giants.

　　 That person was a betrayed from the very beginning.

……Yes it is.

　　 From the very beginning, Bone Duke was able to sublimate as a complete "God of Betrayal".

　　 But he gave up.

That is--

　　 "——Fate is determined. This is what He told me."

　　 The skeleton replied to himself.

　　 He turned his back to the crowd and took off his golden clown mask.

　　 Then, he threw it into the last grave in front of him.

　　 That is the tomb of "Yong Sheng Gong" four hundred years ago.

　　 Further forward from here, there are still densely packed graves—and in each grave lies a corpse.

　　 "I thought...this level of [betrayal] can carry this twisted country, twisted will, and twisted history?"

　　 Duke Skeleton replied calmly: "I don't think, can't. Because this betrayal is not pure...it is mixed with ‘skeleton’ elements, making me a sad and abominable undead."

　　 He turned his head back.

　　 Under the mask, in the knight's armor, it is a very ordinary corpse without any special effects of light and shadow.

　　 It was a very thin, very dry corpse. It's even only two and a half meters--from the giant's point of view, it's so short and thin.

　　 Those heavy metal boots are as valuable as "wind dancers".

　　 It's because it is so light...If you don't use heavy enough boots, it can't walk normally.

　　Because as an undead, the skeleton does not have any special power. It's just a continuation of life... It is just a tombstone, a "data center" that can remember the history of all people.

Yes it is.

　　 Bone Duke did not "carry the soul on himself" at all.

　　What he really carried on himself...was passed down from his ancestors for a thousand years, and was personally experienced by himself for four hundred years. It records all the recorded "history" of the kingdom of giants from ancient times to the present.

　　 What he is carrying is not the "Dukedom of Funeral Songs" at the moment when the gray fog hits.

　　 is the giant of all from the beginning of the birth of the kingdom of immortality to the destruction of the kingdom of immortality 1,400 years before the collapse of the Great Enchantment——

　　 It is this achievement that is recognized by the world.

　　 Acquired the name of God [Bone Duke].

"My family has been betrayed by the kingdom of eternal life for a thousand years, and I have betrayed the people of eternal life for another four hundred years. I have lived alone in the world for a thousand years, and finally found you, Ai Lei. Betrayed by others to the point of no betrayal man of……

　　"When my tombstone was destroyed, I gave up their last nostalgia for me; when the statue of the bone-buried mother-in-law was destroyed, I gave up the last hint of willingness to maintain this ridiculous [tradition].

　　 "To this day, the kingdom of immortality is destroyed here."

　　 Skeleton public declares here: "I hereby abandon the name of [Bone Skeleton]."

　　 All the decorations on his body collapsed and vanished.

　　 Cloak, armor, gloves, crown, boots——

　　The only thing that exists in this world is the corpse.

　　 It laughed self-deprecatingly.

　　 "...Why can I keep this tattered one?"

　　 It said, grabbed its own spine, and pulled hard--

　　 The broken bones are scattered in the world.

　　 God of Betrayal and Bones—All the proofs of the existence of [Bone Duke] are shattered here.

　　 However, the purer "God of Betrayal" is about to be born in the abyss after death——

　　 "——Give me your body, Elei."

　　 In the distorted void of this oil painting-like tone, the voice of the old, the young, and the baby sounded at the same time.

　　 "——Aaaaaaaaa!!!"

　　 And Ai Lei suddenly had many fuzzy color patches like mosaics, and she uttered a sharp but not human-like sorrow.

Although 　　 is only a syllable, it cannot be understood in human language.

　　——She is making an irreversible upgrade in the eyes of the players.

　　 Seeing, she was about to be swallowed by the vague color block.

　　 But at this moment, the last rib of the skeleton's body happened to be inserted into the earth.

　　 All of them are very coincidental, and they stared at that rib at the same time.

Longjing Tea suddenly realized what ~www.readwn.com~Bone Duke's plan...probably through complete betrayal, he wiped out his "skeletal" priesthood, and swallowed Ai Lei's body, becoming a pure "betrayal" The gods".

　　An important issue was overlooked in his plan.

　　 Ai Lei is an angel.

　　 The new **** of betrayal was re-upgraded from an angel... and the skeletal prince would swallow her body.

　　 Then, the old "Bone Duke" can be regarded as...dead.

If.

　　 Bronze-level transcendents will give birth to ordinary-level nightmares when they die, silver-level transcendents will give birth to difficult-level nightmares when they die, and golden-level transcendents will give birth to twisted-level nightmares...

　　 If the sages who control the truth die, they will give birth to a nightmare of another world class... However, the gods also control the truth. And go deeper.

　　 Then——

　　 He only thinks about this.

　　——The world is overturned.

　　 The three players, a cat, Ai Lei, and everyone on the treasure ship "Silver" were all swallowed by the space that was instantly distorted and collapsed.

　　 is not only the soul being sucked into the dream world.

　　 but the whole person fell into a "nightmare"——

　　 The next moment.

　　 Except for that rib, there is nothing left in the catacomb.

　　——[Everything] disappeared.
