Lord of Glory - Chapter 281

[Chapter 281 The Falling Eagle]
From the stone statue, I looked at the person who looked exactly like me in front of me. .COM Paladin’s eyes in the stone statue suddenly flashed with brilliance, and he said in a rare mocking tone: “Get up, every time I see you, nothing good happens.”
But the white Palatine in front of him was motionless, silent like a puppet. But Paladin didn’t care at all, and continued: “Last time you were me, and that black guy was me too. You two must have something to hide from me.”
“You’ve enjoyed the power for too long, it’s time to pay the price.” Suddenly, the white Palatine said these words without end. The eyes on the stone statue suddenly lit up, showing the ups and downs of Palatine’s mood:
“Enjoying power? I lost sleep, lost food, lost the love between men and women, and I felt more and more that my emotions were gradually weakening, just like a sword with great power, he who has great power in vain, but he has no relationship with him. The heart to enjoy and act! Do you know what I am like? I am like a puppet, a puppet pulled by power! Doing things that I didn’t want to do. Up to now, you still swear to make me pay the price? I Isn’t it enough?”
Listening to Paladin’s words that had been piled up on his chest for a long time, the white Paladin sat silently on the ground, looking at the stone statue in front of him without the slightest emotion: “You still have a human heart. And the human heart, There is no match for having this power. Although you are giving, you are still too little and too little. What you give alone, you get power that can deprive everyone. This is already unjust.” The white Palatine said so. Suddenly closed his eyes slowly and looked at the stone statue and muttered, “Go. Don’t lose to him.”
“Lose to him? What to lose to him?” Paladin immediately asked, but the powerful suction and dizziness did not lose its effectiveness because of Paladin who lost his body. I saw that the golden light on the stone statue suddenly disappeared. Temporarily, Paladin’s consciousness disappeared in the cave.
It was still that white space, and the old-fashioned inverted tree totem was still on the floor. Paladin, who turned into a stick, opened his eyes and found himself lying helplessly in a circle called jealousy. Standing in front of him was a pure black boy who looked exactly like him. The black self.
“The last time I saw you was a year ago, I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.” Paladin, who was numb with no emotion on his face, said so. Another black Paladin stepped into the circle, squatted down and stared at the Paladin with pure black eyes, cracked his gloomy mouth and said with a smile: “You are already qualified to enter the next realm. Are you going?” “Let’s go. I already have this field, is there any chance of repentance?” Paladin, who was not angry at all, replied, but the latter stood up on his own and grabbed Paladin’s hair firmly. Drag him towards the next circle.
Paladin, who was dragged like garbage, had nothing on his face, but his heart was not at all calm. Why did he get to where he is today? strength? Power? money? status? He has it all, and has it all. But he did not have any heart for enjoyment, nor did he have any feelings of satisfaction. It’s like a clockworked tool, pushed by the master behind the back in a direction that he doesn’t even know.
Tired, Paladin is really tired. He no longer wants any power, nor does he want any status. He just wanted to go back to the days when he just left the Free Stonemason Association seven years ago. That simple and pure ideal. An’an lives an ant-like life. Although he is ignorant, he is also happy to be ignorant.
But now everything has changed. He seemed to be controlled and driven by power. Items reduced to power are walking on the road that they do not want to walk at all. He was really tired and didn’t want to care about any demigods, armies, or countries. All I want now is to have a good night’s sleep and to satisfy the simple wish that I have been unable to satisfy all these years. …,
“It’s here.” The black Palatine suddenly said, pulling the latter back from fantasy to reality. With a numb and tired face on his face, he slowly watched himself being brought into another circle. On the floor were two large letters: “Pride.”
And the Apocalypse under Pride also slowly emerged:
“Goug out that eye. Pull out that pair of wings. The eagle, which can no longer fly, lost its pride in flying and fell into the fields. There is no pride in the past, only despair.”
“What do you mean?” Paladin asked in confusion. But the black Paladin seemed to have seen something beautiful, showing a gloomy and vicious smile: “The price, your price is finally about to begin!” He picked up Paladin, opened his mouth and shook his head. Bitten off Palatine’s lower body at once!
With only his chest and head left, Paladin was thrown to the ground by his black self. Watching the black Paladin devoured his body, he slowly began to grow bigger. When the black Palatine swallowed the wreckage, it was just a flash of black light! Paladin, who was lying on the ground, was shocked to see that on the forehead of this black self, a black horizontal eye flashing with black light suddenly appeared!
Except for the different colors, isn’t that the almighty eye of yours? But not only that, the excited black Paladin looked at his Almighty Eye and suddenly howled. There was a sudden surge on his back, and sixteen pairs of pure black wings of God spread out behind him! Suspend him in mid-air with his whole body suspended!
“This is… what’s going on!” Paladin, who fell to the ground, looked at this scene in disbelief, but the black Paladin, who was dancing in the air, looked at his body back and forth excitedly, sending out bursts of viciousness and joy The manic laughter: “Hahahahahahaha!”
“No… no!” Paladin, whose eyes were full of shock, suddenly shouted, but the scene in front of him was blurred in an instant, and it was that suction again. I lost consciousness again.
When I opened my eyes again, everything in the cave came into view. The white Palatine was still sitting in front of him, and the eyes on the stone statue also showed golden light again. “Are you back?” Looking at the flickering golden light in the stone statue, the White Palatine knew this very clearly. But at this time, Paladin was panic and panic like never before! He tried to activate his Almighty Eye and God’s Wing. But without exception, the connection between the two of them and him was in vain! His ability has been deprived!

“No, no! That’s my ability, it belongs to me! How is it possible… how should it be!” Paladin, who was obviously very afraid and angry, made the stone statue and the cave tremble. But the white Palatine, who didn’t care about it at all, still said calmly: “Isn’t this exactly what you want? You want to give up everything, you want to return to human life. You don’t want to be a god anymore. You are not exactly what you want. Is it?”
“No! Now I have nothing. If I take all my power, what do I have? What else can I have?” Paladin argued fiercely. But the white Palatine, who was as calm as water, silently raised his hand and pointed at him: “Now, is the beginning of the price. You will lose more and more. And you can’t turn back. This is the path you choose, behind you. Your path is already in pieces, and you have no choice but to move forward.”
Suddenly, the golden light on the stone statue calmed down, but Paladin’s tone was full of unprecedented despair: “Is there nothing in my path? So what’s the point of me continuing to walk?” “Live, at least you can still Live. Of course, in the days to come, the only thing you can do is to do your best to survive.” “I don’t want to survive, I want to live!”
Paladin roared back. But the white Paladin still stood up calmly, looked down at Paladin and said, “Don’t be like a naive child, you are not that naive. You have already made up your mind, but the price is different from your own thoughts. Do you act like a spoiled child and cry when you are not? People cannot change the world and make the world adapt to you. All you can do is change yourself to adapt to the world. If you want to get rid of this kind of puppet fate, you should try to live and become a God.”
“But… I have lost the strength I rely on!” Paladin showed such intense emotions for the first time after many years. But the white Paladin, who was feeling all this, gradually faded, and before disappearing, a sentence passed into Paladin’s ears: “You rely on strength because you have a human heart, human.” (To be continued.
