Law of the Devil

Ares?

Ares? ?

Human God? In the age of mythology, who defeated the demon god with the "Spear of Longchinus" blessed by the gods, the one known as Ares, the strongest god of mankind?

But here, the Tongtian Pagoda behind the Demon God's Temple, which belongs to the Demon God's place---the male god of human beings, how could he be imprisoned here? Shouldn't the one who was imprisoned here be the defeated Demon God? !

Du Wei felt that he was speechless.

The figure of Ares was sealed in the crystal, but when he sighed softly, the voice was faint, and there was a strong sadness that could not be dissipated, but it seemed to have some infectious power.

Even Du Wei, after hearing this sigh, couldn't help feeling that his heart was filled with that kind of inexplicable sadness...

Du Wei could feel that in the crystal, there seemed to be a vague look covering him, and then Ares sighed: "You are not Aragorn...But, so what? Who are you, anyway, I am here, and I am not waiting for you."

After hearing this, Du Wei couldn't help asking: "Then... who are you waiting for?"

"She! It's her!!"

Ares' voice, suddenly like a ignited gunpowder, revealed a monstrous resentment!

"It's her! I'm here. To bear this endless imprisonment instead of the Demon God, to bear this ten thousand years of loneliness and pain on his behalf! Just because he promised me that one day, he would throw her here too! !"

Du Wei heard the ups and downs in his heart, and felt that the matter was getting more and more chaotic.

Ares... imprisoned here instead of the demon god? It sounds. It seems that the human god of war has fallen to the side of the demon god?

History ah history! What are you like? !

"Ares... Well, then, why are you here? Has the demon god here gone out?"

Ares was silent for a moment, then he smiled. When he laughed, the laughter seemed to fall directly into Du Wei's heart, and then Du Wei heard the other party say: "Human... Since you are not Aragorn, why did you come here? And... Why do you have the same star field as Aragorn?"

Du Wei shook his head: "This matter is complicated...Although I am not the real Aragorn, you can regard me as his substitute...There is really not much difference in this."

Afterwards, Du Wei had moved his body a bit. Originally, he forcibly supported the Starry Sky Domain before, and his body couldn't fully withstand the power at the domain level. It was already on the verge of collapse, but it has fully recovered at this moment.

"Anyway, Ares. Thank you for saving me, otherwise, my body would have turned into dust." Du Wei's tone was very sincere, and then he looked at Qiao Qiao lying there: "Thank you too You saved her."

There was a hint of mockery in Ares's laughter: "You don't have to thank me. Because even if I don't save you, you won't die here. However, if you die here, you will be imprisoned forever In this place. Then you can also maintain the state of the soul, as long as you spend a little more time. You can also use your strength to shape a new body."

"You mean..." Du Wei asked seriously: "If you die here once, you will be imprisoned here forever?!"

"Yes, because here...is an eternal seal left by the goddess!" Ares laughed with deep mockery: "Because the power of the demon god is too strong. Even if he is found weak point Defeated, but as a god level, you can't die. So you can only seal it. And the goddess set up such a sealed space here. The entire Demon Temple was moved here. This is a god's domain, and we are imprisoned in Here, you can never go out, and the two guardians outside, they are also imprisoned here, enjoying eternal imprisonment! Eternal loneliness and loneliness! Including me..."

"I don't understand." Du Wei shook his head, and then he stared at the crystal above: "You are the human god Ares, you are god-level! And this is still the realm of the gods, since you still retain the gods Power, why can’t you go out? Could it be that the power of the goddess has surpassed you? You know, I heard that you are the real and most powerful god of mankind.”

Ares' laughter resounded in Tongtian Tower, and it took a long time before his laughter gradually subsided.

"Human, tell me, how much do you know about the age of mythology?" Ares' voice was full of dignity.

"Not much, but not too little."

Afterwards, without waiting for Ares to speak, Du Wei took the initiative to tell the things he knew - the stories he heard from the elf king Luoxue. Especially, when it comes to the end, it tells the story of the "devil king and girl" that is still circulating in the world...

"The devil ravaging the world fell in love with a beautiful human girl. In order to save mankind, the beautiful girl decided to sacrifice herself and married the devil. She bid farewell to her lover tragically. Then, the beautiful girl cheated the devil Trust, after finding the weakness of the devil, unite with your lover and clansmen, and defeat the devil king together..."

When Du Wei said this, he heard the voice of Ares above his head whispering: "... Now, is this story still circulating in the world?"

After a pause, his voice seemed to become more bitter: "It turns out...she actually allowed such stories to continue to spread. I thought that she would wipe out all traces of history..." Afterwards, he hummed She sneered, and finally laughed louder and louder, and finally laughed loudly: "Okay! Very good! It's really good! She still keeps this story! Hahahaha! I should have thought of it long ago!"

Du Wei felt a gaze like a sharp sword shooting down from above his head. It's as if you can pierce your own body!

"Human! Tell me, what do you think of this story! Isn't it wonderful?!" Du Wei was silent for a while, and there was a hint of pity in his voice: "No, I feel very sad .”

"Sad? You are human! This is a story of a human defeating a demon king. Why do you feel sad? You should be cheering for it!!" "Yes, maybe I should be. Maybe. I should be cheering, but I still feel a little sad." Du Wei added: "I feel sad for that demon king."

Ares was silent for a while, and whispered: "Why?".

Du Wei sighed, and said sincerely: "When a person... no, even if he is the devil! When he is willing to tell that beautiful girl his greatest secret, his greatest weakness... it is not because he is stupid! Because No one would casually tell others about his greatest weakness! The reason why he did this! It was because of love! Because of love! Because he really couldn't help falling in love with that girl. Falling in love with that human girl! Even if He is the evil king described in the story, but he only revealed his biggest secret and biggest weakness to his beloved woman! This is a kind of absolute trust that comes only because of love! It's a pity... "Speaking of which. Du Wei's tone gradually became lighter, and he said softly: "Unfortunately, he was betrayed by the person he loves the most. I can even imagine that when the person I love the most betrays me, I will show up with my enemy ...and then use the weakness that I told her, and hurt myself deeply in turn——what kind of despair and sadness is that in the heart of the devil!"

Du Wei shook his head and said in a low voice: "I also have someone I love... I can't even imagine that if one day, when she betrays me, she stabs me in the heart, at that time, I will I'm afraid I'll lose all hope. I don't even have the courage to live... No. Even if I can live, I will give up myself! Because I'm afraid I can't bear that kind of pain."

In the Tongtian Tower, there was a moment of silence.

Du Wei looked up at the top of his head. Among the huge crystal, Ares was also silent.

After a long time, Ares' voice fell gently into Du Wei's ears:

"It seems that you understand." Ares's voice was like a sigh: "People in the world don't understand...but it seems that you understand."

"That's right." Du Wei nodded, and his voice was very serious: "Perhaps, I have not experienced the era when humans were enslaved by the demons. Perhaps, because of this, although I am a human being, I don't have much personal experience." So, even though I know that humans have defeated the demon god, I should feel happy, but whenever I think about the fate of that demon god... I can't help feeling a little bit of pity for him."

"In 10,000 years... I have only heard such words twice. And it happened after I was imprisoned here. The guy who came here for the first time and said these words to me was that Aragorn. And the second one is you."

Ares was sighing, but this time his voice seemed to be softer and less cold.

"Then tell me, Ares, why are you here, a god who is also a human being?!"

"Because... the story you told about the devil and the girl, what you heard is not all! And after the end of the story, there are some other things happened." Ares snorted. Something else going on? "

"Yes." Ares' voice became low, and his tone was full of helplessness and sadness: "Because, it's not just the girl that the devil fell in love with, but at the same time, the girl also fell in love with the girl." the devil.

The girl also fell in love with the devil?

The human goddess of light fell in love with the demon god? !

Du Wei felt that he was really dizzy all of a sudden! !

Then, Ares's voice sounded softly, telling quietly, opening a legend that has been dusty for thousands of years...all of them still clearly remember what happened that day. Every detail flashed so clearly in my heart over and over again---every detail!

She is my lover, when she offered to sacrifice herself to the Demon God in order to defeat the Demon God, it tortured me enormously! I still can't get rid of that kind of pain... And. Can never get rid of it!

That day, when she succeeded, I took the spear of Longchinus blessed by the gods, walked into the Demon Temple, and walked into the Babel Tower!

I heard the painful and crazy howl of the demon god. I don't know why, but I seemed to be able to feel the pain faintly at that time. The pain of losing a loved one!

I remember, when I rushed into Tongtian Tower together with the Great Elf God and the Beast God, when we saw him... Once, standing in front of him. The powerful enemy who can bring us a huge sense of oppression, at that moment, he looked so weak---I have never seen him show such a weak look.

I seem to understand his weakness. Not because she took advantage of his deep sleep. Cut off his demon horns. That weakness seemed to come from the pain of a broken heart.

I will never forget the look in his eyes!

Even though he was surrounded by many powerful enemies, even though he lost his demon horn, at that time, he seemed not to look at us at all, but only looked at her with that look.

Then, he asked in that heartbreaking voice: Why! Why! ! Why! ! !

The battle that day was very tragic!

We were all wrong!

We thought so. After finding the weakness of the Demon God. We have also created a peerless artifact like the Spear of Longchinus, which concentrates all the power attributes of the gods, and we should be able to take this opportunity to defeat him.

Unfortunately we are still wrong!

Even with the loss of the Demon Horn, this way. It made the Demon God almost lose more than half of his power.

But even so, in the battle, he is so powerful, but we are still unable to resist!

Because he is a demon god! He is the strongest god in this world! His strength, even at the weakest moment, is not something we can resist! Even if we all add up! !

The cruelty of that battle made us all fall into despair... because if we can't defeat him even this way, what awaits us is eternal imprisonment! And the final turning point... happened at the end.

I clearly remember that he was already able to defeat all of us, but in the end, she, who had never made a move, finally did.

I still clearly remember that he, who none of us could defeat, seemed so powerless when facing her.

Even the hammer of the dwarf god Thor can resist it. Even the mighty beast power of the orc god can't hurt him! Even the magic of the elf god was dissolved by his wild laughter!

However, when she made a move, when the dagger in her hand pierced through - he didn't dodge!

No, not without dodging.

Instead, he didn't hide at all! ! .

A dagger can't hurt his body at all. However, when the dagger stabbed him, I could clearly see despair in his eyes! It was a kind of desperation with madness!

He didn't dodge, nor was he stabbed by the dagger, but it was his body that was hurt.

Although he didn't say anything, even though he didn't say anything. But from his eyes, I saw a kind of... give up!

He gave up!

When I stabbed at him with the spear of Longchinus, he didn't seem to even look at me, he just stood there, as if he had become an immobile sculpture!

Even after my spear of Longinus pierced his skin, pierced his chest! When all the attributes of divine power blessed by the gods rushed into his body together...

He still didn't move! Didn't dodge a bit! !

Even, he still didn't look at me!

His face, his eyes, only looked at her. From beginning to end, only face her!

Then, I heard him ask softly:

Are these what you want?

When I finished speaking this sentence. There was even a desperate smile on his face!

Then...he, this powerful existence that made us all tremble, finally fell down slowly!

At that moment, I suddenly understood something.

He is not defeated by me. Nor is it defeated by our gods.

Not to be defeated by the spear of Longchinus in my hand!

The only one who defeated him was her!

Yes...he fell.

He finally lost.

That powerful existence that used to be so high that everyone trembled. collapsed.

But at that moment, I forgot to be happy! Forgot to cheer!

Because, unfortunately, I saw her eyes.

Because, from her eyes, I also did not see the joy and pride that a winner should have.

Her eyes, at that moment, were empty.

At that moment, I suddenly felt: I'm afraid, I didn't just lose her temporarily!

Although dedicated to the devil. It's just a temporary plan... But at that moment, I seemed to have a premonition that I didn't lose her temporarily... but lost her forever!

And later. everything that happened. It proved that my hunch at the time was correct. Listening to what Ares said, the dignified tone and the sad voice made him dare not interrupt the other party at all.

But when Ares said this, he fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.

Du Wei waited for a while before he couldn't help asking: "And then? Is this the end?"

Ares was awakened from the silence by Du Wei's voice, and then he seemed to smile:

"If this is the end. I won't be here..." In the midst of the war. Although I have been by her side all the time, I feel more and more that she is getting farther and farther away from me! Even if she smiles at me. Even when she looked at me, I felt that it was a long distance!

And almost a hundred years later, the second mythical war broke out... There was another war between us and our former allies, and the orcs, dwarves, and elves.

And at that time, I was still standing by her side!

I fought for her and shed blood for her. The spear of Longchinus was stained with the blood of my former allies.

Actually, I don't want to do that.

We are gods, and I have always felt that as a god, I don't have too many desires anymore.

However, I saw this in her eyes!

I even felt that when she looked at the Demon God Temple and the Tongtian Tower, she already had a kind of worship that puzzled me.

Yes, that's right, a cult.

Then...after defeating the Demon God, she seemed to want to copy everything! The supreme status, the master of all things!

Perhaps, she is not content with being just one of the gods.

She hopes to become the greatest god...or even, the only god!

I'm still willing to fight for her. Because I know that I can't refuse any request from her. When she wants me to fight, I do! When she wants me to bleed, I bleed for her! At last, the gods who had worked together to forge the Spear of Longinus tasted the power of the artifact they had created.

After the second mythic war, we still became victors.

After the war was over, I thought that all this could be over, that I could finally not have to face those things anymore, but I hoped that I could be with her quietly from now on.

I don't care about people's admiration for me, I just want to be with her quietly.

As a god, I have a nearly eternal life. For me, the only joy in this eternal life is being with her, looking at her, listening to her voice, and looking into her eyes.

But... I didn't expect that she had changed!

Moreover, it changed a long time ago.

That day, she brought me here.

After the Demon God was defeated by us, he has been sealed away. And when the second myth war ended. She told me that although she defeated the gods of other races, she forced them to sign an oath and stay away from the mainland. But these are not safe. Because, there is still a Demon God!

In order to prevent those defeated ones from dying and secretly releasing the Demon God, we must seal the Demon God in a place where they cannot find it. In the end, we selected the most remote snow-capped mountain top in the northwest of the mainland. Here, she used her divine power to open up a space, a divine realm. Then, she led me into this God's Domain. "What?" Du Wei was already sighing.

"And then?" Ares seemed to be laughing, but there was a deep mockery in the laughter: "She told me to strengthen the seal here. It takes a lot of power to seal a powerful demon god. I don't want to see She spent it, so I took the initiative to bear it. I used a lot of divine power to strengthen the seal here, making this Tongtian Tower the scope of my God's Domain.

Unfortunately, just when I have exhausted a lot of energy, I am already feeling very tired.

And when I was exhausting my divine power, I gave her the spear of Longchinus to hold. But when I finished everything, I just turned around, and it wasn't her smiling face that greeted me.

but...

The cold tip of the gun!

I think... At that time, I suddenly understood a lot.

I seemed to suddenly recall, when we defeated the Demon God, when she stabbed the Demon God with a dagger, the expression on the Demon God's face and the look in his eyes.

Because, I think, my expression and eyes were the same at that time. .

It's even a little weird... At the time, I didn't seem too surprised that she would do this. Even I myself don't know where this feeling comes from.

In my heart, I suddenly remembered the words I asked her when looking at her before the demon god was knocked down by us:

Are these what you want?

At that time, the spear of Longchinus pierced my body, and then, I did not resist, nor did I shoot her.

I just looked into her eyes and asked her in the same low voice.

Are these what you want? Want it?

When these words appeared in Du Wei's mind, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and he felt infinite pity for Ares. god?

God also has such sorrow!

"What did she say to you?"

"She said sorry to me twice." Ares smiled softly:

"She said: I'm sorry, because I felt that I couldn't continue to face you a long time ago, because every time I face you, I will feel guilty for you and think of him, so I have to do this. Do. I'm sorry, but also because, I hope, in this world, from now on, there will be only one god, and that is me."

After saying this, Ares said slowly:

"I think these are what she wants."
