The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 1257 The Worm of Dusk

Annan believes that he is just a mortal.

But if you want to choose between "coward" and "lunatic", then Annan must not be the former.

If at that moment, the "similar to me" Annan saw were really worms.Then Annan would never be so fearful, angry, and desperate.

Later, Annan regained his lost memory and the personality of "Black Annan".

However, Annan's personality has not undergone drastic changes.This means that even without the veil of negative emotions from the reversed Heart of Winter, Annan would never have turned into a mortal man insane in the face of unspeakable horrors.

But Annan didn't realize it at the time.

He elevates the existence of worms infinitely in his heart.Because Annan has heard too many people describe this existence.

The Invisible Enemy, The Beast That Changes, The Serpent That Is Not A Serpent, The Self-Eater, The Shadow of the Crane.Many, many people kept repeating in Annan's ears how powerful and irresistible the worm was.

Isn't this a kind of [knowledge] about worms?
"These remarks have distorted my senses and affected my rationality. Unknowingly, I have also become a 'culture medium' carrying the knowledge of worms. But if now, calm down and rethink...

"Since when on earth did I think 'the worm has got the body'?"

With Annan's words.

The light below him gradually ignited.

Behind Annan, the solemn Valkyrie emerged.

——but in the mirror in front of Annan.

Behind "Annan" in the mirror, there is no sublime fake body that is consistent with Annan's behind him.

But empty.

"Yes, it started when you and I came into contact."

Annan replied: "Tell me, you have got the entity, that is yourself."

【Lend me your wisdom and body... Tianche】

The worm said this to Annan in the image of Annan.

After losing his memory of specific details, when Annan returned to the present world, he told the news that the worm had obtained his own wisdom and entity.

——Because of this information, the plans of the righteous gods have changed.

They believe that since the worm has obtained Annan's wisdom and entity, it is not suitable for Annan to ascend first and then go to the future.

Because the worm will be quietly dormant in the future, waiting for the moment when Annan ascends—go upstream from the future, and completely destroy the skycar from the level of fate.

If you want not to be destroyed by the worms with the power of time and fate, you can only appear in the same time period as the worms and close to the worm.And this is the only point in time when the worm is completely unable to exploit the momentum.

However, when Annan comes to the future.

People in the future are so happy and safe.

Even this "Theocracy", which was specially created to imprison worms, did not become chaotic and disorderly.But as long as worms exist, they will change the surrounding atmosphere...

Then there is only one answer.

"You lied to me, Worm."

Annan replied: "You didn't get my 'body' at all, you just got my wisdom.

"Because you are me. You knew that a deception of this magnitude would be caught by me, so you attacked me and flooded my sanity with overwhelming negativity, making me forget the details of it.

"And my reputation, my wisdom, to vouch for you...Let me tell the gods myself that 'the worm has acquired the entity'. Make such words believable.

"You let me grow enough to kill the rotten man, and then let the rotten man kill me. So the information about the rotten man came to me, and I will analyze the result you want me to analyze by myself—that is, I must come here, or I will be killed by you.

"But Daryl told me another thing. It's possible for a mortal to ascend even if the Crane didn't exist. If there were worms that could affect the past from the future, they wouldn't even have a It is impossible to survive.

"Will fall like Sisyphus—like fire."

Annan stared at the mirror, narrating calmly.

In the mirror, the corners of his mouth began to rise slightly.

"Why should you be aware of such a thing?"

"Annan" in the mirror sighed: "We could have been peaceful and united as one.

"As I promised you... lend me your wisdom and body."

It gradually revealed an exaggerated smile.

The corner of the mouth has expanded to an angle that is impossible for human beings - it has exceeded half the size of the face.And in the smile, there is no tongue at all, but a dark abyss.

The curved eyes that were as beautiful as a crescent moon also turned into pitch black.

No pupils, no eyeballs.Just an abyss of nothingness and chaos.

Like a pair of deep black narrow moons.

"But I didn't promise... When will I borrow half of it and when will I borrow the other half. It's not a lie."

"Annan" in the mirror said so.

The fingers touching Annan outside the mirror gradually deviated.

It was slightly staggered, protruding from the mirror, as if to interlock with Annan's fingers.

Without hesitation, Annan slapped the worm's hand away.

The sublime false body behind him pierced the blade of light into the floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The high heat instantly blasted the mirror and the surrounding walls apart.

But still smiling strangely, but the "another Annan" whose facial features are full of abyss, stands intact where the mirror was originally.

It's like it's not a mirror, but a glass window.

"You should have realized it earlier, Annan."

A voice that was exactly the same as that of Annan sounded: "I left you a clue.

"Chiron once saw the future... He saw it, and I got my body back. But didn't know why I got it. And that's the closest you'll get to victory.

"That idiot, Rotten, also leaked key information to you."

[As long as you fell into despair and committed suicide at that time, he can reproduce the past history.Use the identity of the "Son of Skycart" to cross the era, break out from your body, and resurrect in this era with a body and wisdom]

Chiron said so at the time.

[Then I will make you more convinced.His Majesty's ability is this: the farther the history is from him, the more control he has over that period of history.Except for 'history that cannot be modified', He can change all history]

And the rogue said so.

In this way, the farther the worm is from the "mortal world", the stronger its power will be.If the worm has indeed got a body, why is it reborn, resurrected to its weaker old age?
"If killing me would bring you back to life, then the rotting man would have killed me long ago. I won't be given any chance at all—because you can affect the earlier past."

Annan said slowly: "The reason why you didn't do this... is because you don't want me to die. You want me to come here.

"From very early on, you started to lay out the layout. If you start to analyze from now on, in fact, your earliest tell is not here yet.

"——Eye of Lag Time, Michelangelo. Or, the man in the mirror...how did his ascension ceremony succeed? Because you helped him in the dark. The purpose is to let him have the 'mirror' domain, so that Hiding a sentence. A sentence that I said countless times but forgot—"

"'Light is born in a mirror'."

Annan and "Annan" said in unison.

"Mirror" is a very key element in the ceremony where Annan defeated the seven mirrors and became the sky train.But because of the sublimation of the man in the mirror, he has control over the "mirror" field...Annan will subconsciously think that this is a security force that has been mastered by them.

But just as the man in the mirror will not affect the ritual of the mirror that has already been established... Annan collected the mirror after he became a god.

And the Mirror Ritual established by the worm is in the distant future—and at the same time, it is also in the past when the Skycart Royal Hand fell.

"The reason why it is me... is because I am the blood of the dragon. And the dragon is a two-phase species."

Annan replied in a low voice: "Like a pure dragon, a beast without scales and no evil - it originally existed opposite to the fallen dragon, just like a mirror. He became the mirror of Tianche Yushou, the collection of all the "male" powers in this world.

"You're the mirror of Skycar, but you can also be my mirror. Ingrid has your qualities, and when I beat Ingrid, I'm the opposite of her.

"At that time, I will be the opposite of you—I and you will form a mirror ceremony.

"Like my seven mirrors. Like the Twin Towers of yesteryear. Like the reflection in Benjamin's nightmare. Like the ritual of the man in the mirror. Like you and the Skycart at opposite ends of history. Just like we are so close today."

"I use them to obtain a sublimated soul... and you use me to obtain a body.

"—Because [light is born from the mirror]. I originally thought that you would be a darkness that was completely incompatible with me, but I didn't expect...you would be another kind of light."

"If we say, you are the dawn, the light of the dawn."

With the same voice, the worm replied in a low voice: "Then I am the light of the evening.

"I was born in the evening when the dawn died. The evening in the end of all things.

"Twilight—that's my real name."
