My Apocalypse: Infinite Rewinds

The boy finally remembered everything.

Why did you make me think of all this?! Li Kai questioned angrily, roaring like a wild beast.

"Hey, this isn't like me. I get so depressed just because of a few words from others. It's so embarrassing!" Phantom waved his hand dismissively. "Just shatter that hateful thing called despair."

If everything he said is true, then everything I've done has been in vain, so why would I bother trying to break through it? Besides, I'm just an ordinary person, and a complete shut-in at that! Li Kai said helplessly.

"A shut-in? That sounds like it!" Phantom said thoughtfully, stroking his chin. "It seems like you're not very useful except for making sarcastic remarks."

Don't say things like that again! It's so embarrassing! Li Kai shouted, his face flushed red. Who else would belittle themselves like that?

"Hehe, that's more like it! A real man should have presence!" Phantom exclaimed admiringly. Although it felt a little awkward to ask himself this, he thought, "Are you the kind of person who gives up so easily? Is this what you truly believe in? What is it that you hold onto so firmly?"

What exactly do you want to know? I have nothing left! Li Kai helplessly clutched his head. What did he have left?

"Nonsense! If I truly have nothing, then what is my value?!" Phantom retorted angrily. "If I truly have nothing, then who are these two people I'm talking to now?!"

I don't understand what you're saying. But after so many times, shouldn't that hope be shattered by now? Li Kai looked at his appearance with a bitter smile, his dejected aura evident.

Nonsense, nonsense, all of it is nonsense!

What is your belief? What is your hope? What is your conviction? Don't you know these things yourself?

"That's enough! What do you even know, spouting off like this all the time?!" Li Kai roared, like an enraged beast. "Can you imagine the feeling of shattered hope? Can you imagine the feeling of utter despair? If you don't understand, don't spout nonsense here!"

Who says I don't understand? I am you! The phantom turned into a thin mist and gently enveloped Li Kai, a feeling as warm as a mother's. I know all your pain and your joy.

That's precisely why I won't let you wallow in this obsession. Whether you're disappointed or desperate, before you get angry, take a good look at yourself.

Me? Li Kai looked at his current appearance with doubt, ferocious and terrifying. Was this really him?

Of course not! The phantom transformed back into Li Kai's appearance, and with a wave of his hands, the ground was illuminated by the image of that silly-smiling boy, who was fighting for the tiny wish in his heart and would never give up!

Despair and hope are not things that anyone can decide; they all depend on the path you choose!

Imprisoned yet resolute, forever trapped in the cycle of reincarnation yet forging ahead, this life is for what my heart desires, walking alone without fear.

Who exactly are you?! Li Kai stared in shock at the phantom before him, the tremor in his heart growing stronger, an irreversible despair washing over him. But so what! Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it!

Flowers are not flowers, mist is not mist; willows resemble her, dreams resemble her; a dream of Nanke, a dream of a thousand years; only now do I realize I am not myself!

Having already found the answer in his heart, why speak it aloud? The phantom smiled and touched Li Kai's face, its figure becoming vast and boundless, its voice becoming incredibly ethereal. "All the troubles in the world are born of me, and will also perish with me. I am the final cry of your soul."

Go ahead. With us in your heart, you are no longer weak. How could I possibly fall down here?

A gentle force slowly pushed Li Kai upwards, his burning passion surging deep within his soul.

Go ahead, you have us in your heart, and that is unshakeable. It's time to let him see our wrath!

So what if there are zombies? So what if there are kings?

As homebodies, we're relentless in pursuing our goals, never giving up until we achieve them. Though we may be weak, when we're all in it together, we're like fools who only know how to move forward and never retreat!

Anyone who angers us, no matter who you are, even if you are a god, will be slaughtered without mercy!

Since there are no heroes, let us become heroes today, and become beacons of hope!

With our unwavering resolve to die, we are willing to sacrifice our souls, even if it means being shattered to pieces, for one purpose only—to kill you, the king! Countless cries hidden deep within our souls erupted along with Li Kai's roar, the voices of his own countless deaths, now overlapping together.

The flames of war have broken out!
