Chapter 675: Projection of the past! The burning tree of life
"Also, why do so many roots treat you well? Since you don't want to tell me, I'm sorry, my patience has run out. I will personally open your consciousness and see... what exactly is that."
She said slowly.
Every step she took.
There were scarlet vines piercing under her feet.
But Lin En remained unmoved, instead she smiled very clearly, saying: "Why? Aren't you afraid of touching the monster sealed in my consciousness?"
The girl smiled and said: "If it was really so easy to touch, you wouldn't have kept threatening me with this matter. After all, we are not stupid, right?"
Slowly.
She walked in front of Lin En.
Lin En didn't make any move, not because he didn't resist, but because the space around him had long been imprisoned by the girl.
"Let me see."
"What exactly are you?"
Her eyes narrowed, and the slender hand she stretched out also turned into a twisted fleshy hand covered with cysts under his gaze.
The twisted hand of flesh and blood approached his forehead.
But at the moment when the hand was about to reach into his head, Lin En's face suddenly showed an extremely mysterious smile.
It was like the opening ceremony of a grand ball.
The last grain of sand of that time.
At the same time, it quietly fell from the hourglass.
"Isn't it here?"
Lin En said to her gently.
In an instant.
The expression on the girl's face changed drastically.
Without any warning, the blood mist that should have been calm around her surged in panic, as if she was suddenly immersed in a dark and bottomless pool, and her whole body couldn't help trembling and suffocating.
It seemed that every leaf, every branch, and every bud felt the frost falling.
She turned her head suddenly.
But Lin En, who was standing in front of her just now, had disappeared.
The surroundings were full of greenery, birdsong and flowers, morning dew gently rolled down the leaves, deer were jumping quickly in the woods in the distance, and there was a little sunlight shining through the branches and leaves above her head. Everything was beautiful as if it was a dream.
But the expression on her face turned pale.
She subconsciously took two steps back.
"Projection..."
She murmured.
And she finally understood what the human was waiting for.
But it's not right! It's not right!
He was obviously the Heart of the Colossus, and there was no mistake about that, because only the Heart of the Colossus could summon the shadow of the Colossus to descend during the confrontation with the God of All Machines, and only the Heart of the Colossus could resist the interference of the projection of fear in this ghost place!
But why did these appear?
Because she was really familiar with this scene, because more than three thousand years ago, she was at the bottom of the valley in the forest and witnessed the darkness shrouding and penetrating with her own eyes.
Everything was burning!
Everything was corrupting!
She opened her canopy to cover the sky, sheltering the whole world under her arms. She told the children to run, she told her subjects to hide, and she let the stars in the sky hide in her branches.
Then the whole sky!
She saw the distant starry sky extinguished bit by bit in front of her eyes, and saw the black fog covering the sky and the sun spread over her whole world.
She saw the scarlet eye.
She raised her head tremblingly, and the sunlight falling from the branches had become dim without knowing when. Something was falling from the sky. She reached out to catch it, but found that it was ashes that did not drift.
The fear that was sealed in the deepest part of memory rumbled like a blood fountain at this moment.
She was indeed the same as Lin En said.
She was just using disdain and ease to disguise her fear when facing the disaster, and when it really came, when it really rushed towards you, all despair would be awakened in an instant.
"No!"
She gritted her teeth and ran forward.
She kept walking through the valley of the forest, and behind her, the dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun kept spreading.
She suddenly rushed into an open space, and she raised her head tremblingly, looking at the familiar hometown.
Just like that time.
The big tree representing life and nature spread out her canopy that covered the sky, and then it was burning fiercely, from every branch and leaf to every flower bud, burning the dark fire, and scattering endless ashes all over the world.
She raised her head empty-handedly.
The sky-covering fire burned in her pupils.
The dark clouds extinguished the stars in the sky, and only the fire illuminated the whole burning world.
And the tree in the distance.
It was herself.
The fire burned for a lifetime, which was not a kind of respect, because she had already known the coming of darkness, because she could see the stars extinguished every day, and each extinguishing represented the extinction of a civilization.
She stayed away from the world and guarded nature.
Just like she naively thought that as long as she didn't provoke them, they would not come to the forest she guarded.
But the facts proved.
How naive and ridiculous she was at that time.
And she kept telling herself that what she saw now was just an illusion, a false image projected by this space of the thing she feared most in her heart, but the real scenes before her eyes kept reminding her of the scene that locked her in three thousand years ago.
She knew that the fire would burn for a long, long time.
So long that she would burn herself out, risking her last life to send all the natural people in the forest to the distant and still bright starry sky.
Just like every extinguished star she had ever seen.
And she.
Will also be destined to be one of them.
She murmured and raised her head, looking at the natural arks woven by her in the past, looking at the countless natural creatures, blowing the horn of leaving their homes under her urgent command.
It carried every fawn, every flying bird, and every flower bud.
Mighty.
In her last struggle, she broke through the burning sky and headed for the distant sky.
And she finally remembered.
Why did she fall into that hell, why did she feel so desperate and hateful.
Her pupils trembled.
"No... No..."
"Can't escape!!"
She rushed forward and almost used up all her strength to hysterically try to stop it.
Boom————!
The fragments of the explosion, like countless ashes, fell in the entire scattered pupils.
Like fireworks.
The desperate escape, the Ark that represented the last hope, just like three thousand years ago, just under her eyes, in the erosion of the darkness, shattered.
That's why she hated it.
That's why she struggled to get up even if she fell into hell, even if she was burned to only a burning seed.
That was the denial of everything in the past.
Completely cut and cut off the once naive self.
But in fact, she knew.
Even if the Ark of Everything was not destroyed in front of her eyes, the whole world would be doomed to wither.
And she did not die as heroically as Cyber, because even at the end, she did not have the ability to fight the darkness with all her might.
She died...
in the lingering burning.
