Chapter 1082 - 1079: The Angel Didn’t Come
Blackberry Kennit, at the age of twenty-six.He once walked along the winding rivers of his youth, trying to find the old grandma who gave him bread. He had stepped into the forest, chasing the singing of the Nightingale. He also piloted an airship, trying to find his Angel.
Yet, ten years have passed. Ever since the war began.
The Angel did not come.
Once, a daring person shouted at him, saying that the Supreme Mage is male. So he ordered the execution of this commoner.
...Angel, oh Angel.
What has halted your steps, is Heaven’s affairs too busy? Can you take me away, let me follow you up to Heaven?
Blackberry recalled her eyes from his childhood, like precious black gemstones. No matter how many years he grew, her appearance remained young. She must be an Angel from Heaven, to not scorn such a monster like him who could induce diseases. She distinctly said—"Whether a sword is good or evil depends on the one who wields it, not the sword itself."
He has now saved so many... so many...
But she did not come.
Blackberry Kennit stood at the Abyss of Netherworld, his whole body stained with blood, wearing the Evil Ghost Mask—this is what the Angel taught him if someone belittled him for his youth, make them ignore appearance and face fear.
He had worn the mask for too long now.
So long that... sometimes he would believe he is the "Tyrant" as people say.
He gripped the Eye of the Old Days in his pocket.
...This is what he found in these recent years. Since he found it, his wars have been invincible. The Eye of the Old Days often whispers what he should do.
[You shouldn’t have come; this is obviously a trap. The Supreme Mage would not be caught by the Church.] The Eye of the Old Days sighed.
"Even with a thousandth of a chance, I would still come. I can’t bear her to die." Blackberry said.
[For someone so wise, why are you confused now? Don’t you know, if you die, it would be an irrecoverable disaster?] The voice said.
"...I’m tired." Blackberry said.
He didn’t explain further.
The more he fought, the more he found ignorance had seeped deep into people’s hearts. Even if he used his ability to exacerbate diseases in battles, it gradually became fighting violence with violence. Many people would rather spit blood and die in front of him than curse a Witch.
...Then how is he, who exacerbates diseases, different from the rumored Witches who spread plagues?
Blackberry was often confused.
Every time he exacerbated a disease, he could feel an additional accumulation of fluids in his body, as if others’ diseases flowed into him. He grew weaker, these dark forces like a time bomb would explode instantly after his death.
——By then, he would become the true Source of Plagues.
Gradually he discovered, his very ability was itself a huge trap. Human life is limited, while the Deity’s life is infinite, and he overextends his life fighting on the battlefield... once his life ends.
It would usher in darkness a thousandfold.
Even if he wished to persist for a few more years, yet... he understood it was a desperate measure.
[Are you going to end it?] The voice said.
"I have already entrusted state affairs to my subordinates. These years I traveled around by airship, intentionally training them." Blackberry suddenly smiled.
His smile was like childhood, Xiao Xi’s pure smile.
"I have lit the fire."
"Since this battle, people have realized the unreliability of Faith. They have also realized that the plague is likely not from the Witches, but spread by others."
"More and more people begin to abolish Execution by Fire, even if temporarily enlightened, they have tasted the benefits of justice."
"All I needed to do was raise the torch, make it bright for two or three seconds."
"I have accomplished it."ablets, a white flower bloomed, facing the wind like a gentle smile...
The child looked back.
He blinked, seemingly seeing a beautiful big sister wearing a Shrine Maiden hat, standing by the small tombstone, placing down a golden yellow banana...
A gust of wind blew.
The big sister disappeared.
Only a golden yellow banana lay quietly beside the small tombstone.
The pear blossoms nearby bloomed into thousands upon thousands, hanging on the branches.
