Chapter 1358 Chapter 1: "The world burns to my color ()."

From my window I have seen

【A sunset festival on a distant mountaintop. 】

[Sometimes a piece of sunshine]

【Burning like a coin between my palms.】

【In my sorrow, which you know well.】

[I remembered you, and my soul was solemn. ]

【Where were you at that time? 】

【Who else is there? 】

【say something?】

【——Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair】

……

[——〈First run〉——]

[——〈Seventh World·Su Lin〉——]

……

Su Lin's condition was unusual.

His whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of cloud-white light, his pupils seemed to be filled with mist, and the raging fire that lingered around his body was no longer half gold and half red, but more like pure gold.

Transparent, clear, sacred, solemn...completely sharp gold.

As sharp as he is.

Behind him, a hazy sea-blue figure appeared—slightly curly long hair, vertical pupils, a charming face, and tiny, glittering scales. It was a mermaid.

As Su Lin raised his right hand, a long golden blade condensed in his hand. At the same time, as if in sync, the Siren phantom behind him also held an identical golden blade in his hand.

In an instant, two sharp cold stars were aimed at Shen Ming An.

"Shuashuashua——"

Thousands of feet of golden light suddenly gathered as Su Lin took aim and gathered strength. The fine flames reflected in his stern pupils, as if all the light was attracted to the tip of his sword.

The howling wind was like golden light at dawn, tearing apart the long night!

The young man's cold face was illuminated by the firelight, with sharp edges and corners, as if he was a god who was judging him.

……

"Hu-hu-hu-"

The wind roared and the tip of my nose was filled with hot breath.

Su Mingan raised his head and looked at the golden god in the sky.

Considering that Su Lin had drawn the Cloud City God as a card, it should be that the Cloud City God and Su Lin temporarily merged, which gave him such a strong combat power. However, it was Su Lin who dominated the consciousness.

Su Lin's posture... made Su Ming'an feel as if he had returned to that island and saw the god of Yunshang City who had not yet fallen.

"Su Ming'an, go in that direction, someone will pick you up." Su Lin pointed behind the chair of Shen Ming'an. That direction was very close to the bark, and he could rush out in a few steps.

"What about you?" Su Mingan turned around and asked.

Fire flickered between them, and wisps of golden flames hung from the sky to their eyes like silk ribbons.

"I'm coming... to meet this short-sighted tree."

Su Lin snorted coldly, and flames suddenly rose!

“Huahuahuahua——!!!”

The fire suddenly surged, and the swirling high-temperature air waves were like a giant hand that swept away everything, causing the lush and restless branches and leaves to begin to break, wither, and fall.

Su Lin raised the sword high, accumulated strength, leaned back, turned his wrist, and threw the sword out with all his strength like an arrow hanging on a longbow, aiming at the god An!
At the same time, the phantom of the siren behind him also screamed and threw out an identical golden sword at the same time, aiming at the roots of the world tree in another direction.

With dazzling golden light and fire, the two sword blades left behind two bright and dazzling golden rivers of fire wherever they passed, like two scratches that tore through the air, intertwining and extending into two slender and sharp golden lines in the air!

The god's expression remained unchanged. He stretched out his right hand, and a cross-shaped halo flashed, like tiny silver-white stars. The vibration of the air resounded in the direction of his palm.

"boom--!"

"boom--!!!"

As soon as the golden blade and the space wave collided, a violent aftermath was stirred up, and the tea table and chairs on the side were instantly overturned. The sound of wind, branches and leaves, and vibrations rang out, like countless fireworks exploding in the ears!

Then, the lightsaber pierced into the right shoulder of the god An and passed through it. The golden flames spread over his body like maggots on the tarsal bones, revealing the charred bones in an instant.

The golden light flickered wantonly, and the other lightsaber also reached the most densely planted part of the branches and leaves of the World Tree, like a long needle piercing the cavity of an animal. With a piercing sound that made one's scalp numb, hundreds of tongues of fire danced majestically, and the sword blade pierced into the overlapping layers of branches and leaves!

“Hiss——!!!” A sound like a baby’s hoarse scream was heard!

In an instant, the air waves rolled.

The wind and clouds were turbulent, and the heaven and earth were rumbling.

"Tattoo..."

Su Mingan ran forward, the bag on his chest swaying.

There were constant sounds of burning and crashing behind him, but not a single attack landed on him. Even if he didn't look back, he could still see the flames reflected in front of him, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.

"Whoosh—" Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind. Several branches of the World Tree suddenly grew out from the ground, intending to attack him.

His palms could not bend or stretch, and he could not use gestures to summon skills. Su Mingan simply opened his mouth and read out the name of the skill: "Space Shock..."

Before I finished reading, I suddenly saw a pair of red leather shoes enlarged in front of me.

"boom!"

The leather shoes kicked on the branches, causing a scarlet glow. The next moment, the branches seemed to have reversed time and turned into a few delicate sprouts that fell to the ground.

The girl with white hair flying and wearing a red robe rushed into the tree like a wild beast covered with bright red fur and grabbed Su Mingan.

Those deep blue eyes lit up with the patterns of hour hands.

"Su Mingan, follow me."

Dozens of pitch-black tentacles grew from her back, waving at the branches of the World Tree like whips. With a few "crackling" sounds, the branches and leaves wrapped around Su Ming'an were broken. Instead, Siber's black tentacles clasped him tightly like black soft belts, as if they were afraid that he would be lost.

...It turned out that the person in charge of the pick-up was Siberia.

Siber was originally fighting with Xiaobai in the Disciple Game, and now she has rushed over. It is unknown whether she won or escaped.

She stretched out her right hand, hugged Su Mingan's back and hugged him. She moved closer to the outermost bark and rushed out!
“Buzz—buzz—buzz—!”

Seeing this, the World Tree no longer cared about Su Lin and rushed towards Su Mingan with all its strength. The layers of branches and leaves intertwined like a flood. The branches and leaves were like waves hitting the shore.

Siber didn't stop, as if she didn't notice the myriad branches and leaves blowing towards her, and she kept rushing forward.

Behind him, Su Lin's soft voice was heard.

“——【Divine Punishment】.”

If it were any other time, Su Mingan would definitely laugh at Su Lin's very immature words. But now, behind these light words, there was more than just a simple recitation.

Su Lin raised one hand high, a long blade appeared in his palm, with the tip of the sword raised high.

"Shua-!"

He was mumbling something, which seemed to be the Praya prayer.

As Su Lin chanted, in the sky,
——Suddenly, a golden snow fell.

No, that was not snow, but pieces of dreamy golden feathers.

Thousands of feathers were dancing majestically in the air, and every object that a feather touched was instantly ignited.

The feathers fell lightly, one cluster after another, like falling stars. The stars spread into lines, forming a burning galaxy, as if it was a divine punishment from the gods.

Many branches and leaves rolled and twisted, gradually burning to ashes.

A pair of golden wings spread out behind Su Lin. Thousands of feet of golden light flowed over his body.

The light illuminated his expression, as sacred as a god overlooking the earth. He raised his sword high, calmly looking at the falling snow of fire, his eyes were calm, and the little bit of humanity that he had gradually developed was disappearing.

At this moment, his attitude was completely no different from that of the original god of Yunshang City.

This heavy snow seemed to bring him back from the mortal world to the high clouds again.

Under the cover of feathers, the bark was burned and cracked. Siber tiptoed and rushed out with Su Ming'an!
“——Shua!”

In an instant, it was as if the clouds cleared and the moon appeared, and the air from the outside world blew towards me.

Su Ming'an looked back and through the holes in the bark, he saw Su Lin still suspended in the air between the layers of branches and leaves, with the snow around him falling endlessly.

That figure was like a small, eternal, bright golden fire.

Seeing Su Mingan leave, Su Lin nodded slightly without saying anything. But his intention was very clear -

Let's go.

Go anywhere you want.

……

"Where are we going?" Su Mingan coughed and looked forward.

At this moment, he seemed to have a vision of himself in the sky. At that time, he was also supporting Siber and rushing towards the unknown front.

Before she knew it, she had succeeded, but what about him?
What will be waiting for him in the future?
Siber's white hair fluttered at his neck, and her blue eyes looked into the distance:
"——Go far away!"

Go far away, to a place that the World Tree cannot reach.

Go to the end of the world, to the end of the world.

She ran forward, as if everything was behind them, so fast that Su Mingan couldn't even see the passing scenery. The short white hair no longer blocked his vision, and he could see the serious look in Siber's eyes, like a wolf giving its all.

"Siberia..." he said softly.

"Hmm?" The girl responded softly.

"You're pressing on my right hand. It hurts a little."

Siber snorted, "It hurts, so you don't fall asleep. I don't have any treatment, so don't bleed to death halfway through."

"My...life force is stronger than you think."

"Of course I know that you are the most tenacious. Sometimes before, I even hated your tenacity... Sometimes you are really annoying, you know?"

"You hate me, but you still come to save me?"

"I can't help it. You once risked your life to save me. Besides, I hate you more than anything else."

The red sun was shining brightly, half of it sinking into the horizon. The land was cracked, the riverbed was dry, and the surrounding skyscrapers were like blocks of orange-red glass, so fragile that they would shatter at the slightest touch.

A layer of blue light appeared on Siber's body, covering the two of them and isolating them from the high fever.

Su Mingan looked around and saw nothing but desolation. On the vast horizon, there was no life running. It was not the first time he had seen a doomsday scene, but the doomsday before him was definitely the most desolate one. Everything seemed to be asleep, very quiet.

"...What are you thinking about?" Siber's voice came while running. She was afraid that Su Ming'an had fallen asleep, so she lowered her eyes and looked at him.

Between heaven and earth, there is only her voice.

The black tentacles patted Su Mingan's back nervously, like a kitten's tail, pulling him tighter.

"I was thinking..." Su Ming'an looked towards the direction of the World Tree. They had already run a long way, but the World Tree was so big that he could still clearly see the vast canopy of the tree, which was like an umbrella above their heads. "I was thinking... I should still take Lu Shu with me."

He left, and Lu Shu was left lying there alone.

His vision was dark and his eyelids were almost closing.

As he ran, the bag on his chest kept flapping, and Su Mingan protected it with one hand to prevent the contents from falling out. The blood on his palm mixed with the golden hair, as if the blood had started flowing again.

"No need to bring it." Siber commented very experiencedly: "Before, when I obtained the bodies of my brother and other tribesmen in the reincarnation, I found that those with heads are often more pleasing to the eye than those without heads. Especially when you touch them, their eyes almost seem to open."

"……Um?"

"Especially a peaceful death, which seems more peaceful than drowning, burning, or electrocution."

"is it?"

"And the head tends to be soft, which is better than the body, which gets stiff very quickly. But if you take the head off, the face can get a little shrunken."

"I see."

They seemed to be talking about ordinary things. In this situation, they seemed to be very "like-minded", like a conference for sharing experiences of corpses. Both of them had seen too many corpses, too many ways of death, and even saw dozens of different ways of death of the same person.

The most consistent thing is that they are all mentally unstable.

Even if reincarnation succeeds, Siber's mentality will not be able to become healthy and positive. The pain of the past has already left a mark in her heart, which cannot be healed, and she cannot become a simple little girl again. Her madness is the same as Su Mingan's, and it has already penetrated deep into her bones without her knowing it.

"despair."

At this time, a figure stood in front of them. It was a young man.

The young man wore a wizard hat, a blue-black magic robe, and held a poinciana emerald staff. His short black hair was visible under the hat, and his hair on both sides was slightly longer, hanging below his ears, with a blue-red earring adorning his ears.

In such a doomsday, there is actually a living person here.

Siberia continued to run without stopping, and the young man ran after them.

"Who are you? Why are you following us?" Su Mingan asked.

The young man waved towards Su Mingan and said in a friendly voice:

"——Hello, I'm here to take over."

Taking over should mean coming to rescue Su Mingan.

Su Mingan asked: "Who are you?"

The young man slightly lifted his wizard hat, revealing a face that was both immature and steady. His dark pupils were slightly bright, the corners of his lips were curled, and his spirits were high.

He smiled at Su Mingan, his earrings fluttering slightly, his eyes clear and bright:

……

"——I am Su Wensheng, a summoning magician from the East."

……
