Vol V Chapter 49
It was night.
In the silent darkness, the rustling of insects could be heard from time to time, allowing people to personally feel the meaning of vitality. This was a wonderful feeling that Lighthouse would never have.
After a simple cleaning up, this empty space could be considered a natural campsite.
Due to the high humidity in the forest, the air was humid, and the nights were relatively cold. Everyone sat around the burning bonfire, chatting about their lives on the lighthouse and their hopes for the future.
Everyone was rather excited and couldn't fall asleep.
Seeing that Colin did not join in the conversation and was sitting cross-legged under a tree with his eyes closed, Mark pondered for a moment and went forward to sit beside him."Red Dragon, why are you helping us?”
Collin slowly opened his eyes and stared at Mark for a long time before saying indifferently,""Because I was once a human too…"
His words were calm, but Ma Ke was as shocked as a bolt from the blue.
Seeing that Mark was stunned, Collin chuckled and said,""In this post-apocalyptic world, nothing is surprising. Perhaps the Mana creature you saw was once a human, or perhaps the human you saw was an Extreme Devouring Beast.”
These words were actually referring to the silver-haired woman that Mark had seen before. Mark pondered for a moment and understood why the silver-haired woman was safe and sound on the face of the Extreme Devouring Beast. Colin did not show the brutality of the Extreme Devouring Beast even when facing humans.
"This…Do you know what caused the apocalypse?" Ma Ke asked curiously.”
"No, I'm not sure. I'm also looking for the reason.”
Colin shook his head slightly. What Colin said to Mark was both true and not thorough. The purpose of doing so was to eliminate the estrangement. After all, people were always more or less guarded against the unknown. He had informed them in advance to eliminate unstable factors. There was still a long way to go…
After a long silence, Mark laughed." I'm willing to believe you, Red Dragon.”
"Ma Ke," Colin said. You can call me by my human name, Colin.”
Ma Ke seemed to have calmed down, and his emotions relaxed a little." Right, haha, I forgot that we're not at the lighthouse. And thank you for telling me this, Colin.”
Colin nodded." Yes, you guys should rest early. We still need to move tomorrow."”
After Ma Ke agreed, he explained to Ran Bing and the others. With the bonfire, everyone gradually entered a half-asleep state. In an unfamiliar environment, people always had an instinctive alertness. Even so, such a tense operation tonight made people feel extremely tired, and they still fell asleep.
When the surroundings quieted down, Colin used part of his consciousness to strengthen his perception and scout the surrounding situation, while the other part focused on digesting the energy-like Abyssal Adventurer Armor in his body.
Under the full consumption, Colin's body seemed to be filled with lava rolling in his limbs and bones, evaporating all the fragile parts. Even if he had the ability of painless nerves, it would not be effective. This pain pierced straight into his soul like thousands of needles, making Colin's soul tremble.
If someone was watching, they would see that Colin was currently emitting a hot white fog. The surrounding temperature was frighteningly high, as if it could melt the surrounding metal rocks.
In the midst of this pain, memories flooded into his brain like flowing water.
It was as if a woman was softly saying,'Since the birth of his consciousness, he has been observing the magical race of humans. He loved and protected mankind, and gave mankind what they wanted…
The rapid development of mankind and technology had made nature suffer, so nature was also his child. It was difficult for him to choose between humans or nature…
Until humans…wanted to abandon his embrace…he was angry…
The mountains and rivers were shattered, and the past was gone.
Everything was like purgatory cleansing, wailing and begging.
Heaven and earth split apart, and all living beings were dead silent.
New things were born, and gifts were given.
Humanity has once again returned to his embrace…Love makes us never separate…Only the gift is no longer there…'
This voice seemed to come from the soul itself, as if it was recalling from memories, or as if it was the woman's own words. It was extremely chaotic, making Colin's head swell.
After these memories ended, Colin took a deep breath and opened his eyes. His lungs were like bellows that kept breathing, like a drowning person who was greedily sucking in air after being rescued.
At this moment, Colin's forehead was covered in sweat, but his thoughts were running quickly. Who was 'him'? The Tree of Kabbalah's Breath, huh…It seemed like he was an even more terrifying existence…
Naturally, it was also his child, but he knew very little about this. The abandonment of humans was also an unknown point.
However, he was certain that he was the reason for the end of the world…
Coming back to his senses, Colin also noticed that the sky was a little bright. Only half of the energy in his body was left in the form of the Abyss Adventurer Armor. It seemed that if he wanted to know more, he would need to absorb the remaining portion completely.
There was no hurry. Since the absorption had stopped here, Colin also needed to consolidate his own state. In addition, it was almost daytime, and the remaining half might take more than half a day, which would also hinder their actions during the day.
