Chapter 54 Epilogue

"Hey, Moose, remember my name, Leon Lex!"

Lex's voice came, and Moose felt despair.

"K. Dawn Break. Dimension Slash!"

In the annihilation space, Lex's figure flashed and arrived behind Moose.

Wan Qing flew in the sky, and the azure power of space was attached to Butu Yuhun, and the domineering aura wrapped around the blade.

Fast! It’s so fast!!

When Moose heard Lex's voice, his head had already flown off his neck.

Moose, dead!

Zero acted hastily, trying to catch Lex's eye the moment he drew his knife.

Lex chuckled, and instead of dodging, he crossed his swords and blocked his chest.

"Zero, what's your name?"

It was Zero's turn. Lex was not in a hurry and asked Zero's name with a smile.

Lex knew very well that this kind of person was actually no different from a tool. Except for the temperature of his blood which proved that he was not a cold-blooded creature, he was no different from a cold-blooded creature.

"No name, Zero is my name."

As if he knew that he was going to die, the cold and unchanging face under the Zero White Mask actually moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth slightly stretched, revealing a smile that he had almost forgotten for decades.

"If it weren't for my mother, maybe we wouldn't have come to blows."

Lex sighed. In fact, killing Moose was already mostly revenge. Zero's death was more for Enel's future advancement!

"I also have the blood of the Celestial Dragons. I'm sure you know that very well."

"Yes, Master Lex."

"My Lord? Uh-huh-huh, you're almost dead, why do you still respect the bloodline of the Celestial Dragons so much?"

"Because this is my destiny."

"........"

Lex was silent for a long while before he asked with interest.

"As the 'Strongest Shield', aren't you supposed to carry out all orders unconditionally? Do you also have a destiny?"

"If you would spare me a moment, I would like to tell you something about the Valley of the Gods."

Zero had never been so subjective in his life. In the eyes of everyone, even in his own eyes, he was a cold-blooded tool.

But now, he actually made such a request.

He was always asked, but rarely made requests like this.

Because he knew that he was going to die.

Even the most emotionless person will be a little different before he dies.

"explain."

Hearing that Lex gave him some time to speak, Zero couldn't help but thank him.

"Thank you for your kindness. You are different from the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land."

Zero continued.

"The Valley of the Gods was a victim of the national annihilation game held by the Celestial Dragons every three years. At that time, as the supreme commander of CP, I secretly let some people go."

"why?"

Lex wondered.

Zero glanced at the cooling body of Moose at his feet and continued.

"They were not key figures, just some slave children. I had a strange feeling at the time. I seemed to see myself in them. Compared with them, what was the difference between me and them? My name is Zero, and they also have their own names. The difference is just that. We are all slaves in the hands of the Celestial Dragons. It's just that they have an extra 'Nine Sky Flying Dragon Hoof' behind them. As for me, I have been living under a similar fate as them, a fate that is arranged, a fate without freedom, is it... is it called freedom?"

Lex was stunned and smiled.

“It’s called freedom.”

next moment.

Zero's right hand slowly raised up, and he took off the pure white mask, revealing the face underneath.

An extremely ordinary face, with some vicissitudes of a middle-aged man. The only thing worth noting is his eyes, which are calm and his eyeballs seem to be always fixed in the same position, not moving at all!

"Thank you for telling me the word 'freedom'."

He twitched the corners of his mouth and chuckled.

"...Now, please do it, please kill me."

"Nothing else you want to say?"

Lex smiled slightly, not at all as if he was facing the murderer of his mother. After all, revenge for the mother he had never met in this life was just one of the reasons for tonight's action.

"....If possible, I would like to ask you to bury me in a 'free' place, preferably a place where no Celestial Dragons have ever set foot."

"I promised that you will rest in peace in a place called 'Maple and Locust Thousand Miles'. It's a beautiful place."

"Thank you, Master Lex!"

"You don't need to call me sir, nor do you need to call anyone sir. You are you. In the last moments of your life, why not live for yourself?"

"........ha, thank you, Lex."

"Uh ha ha ha, no need to thank me........K. Freedom. Dimension Slash!"

Zero closed his calm eyes, opened his arms, welcomed death, welcomed freedom!

The blue blade light disappeared in a flash, and his body slowly, slowly fell down.

Lex put away his two swords, exhaled a breath, and his eyes gradually became profound.

"Huh~ I've been in this world for 20 years, and I've finally made it this far with my own strength. Ha,... From now on, I'll give myself flowers, and ride my horse to freedom!"

"Uh-huh-huh! Uh-huh-huh-huh!"

................

Marinford battlefield.

"Newgate, who started this war?!"

boom!

There was another earth-shattering collision, and Cyborg Sora and Whitebeard's bodies retreated at the same time.

The two of them started fighting without knowing when.

"Kulala, I just want to come to Marinford for a stroll, is that not okay? Sora!"

"Humph, you, Wang Zhi, and Yin Axe, it's impossible to achieve this without someone directing you from behind!"

Kong knew that what Whitebeard said was complete bullshit. Whitebeard, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe were not good fighters, so how could they unite to raid Marinford?

Behind all this, including the war in the new world and even the holy land that Kong just learned about was attacked, there must be a big hand behind all this, controlling everything!

This is horrible. Rocks didn’t have this kind of appeal even in his heyday!

"Kulalalala, you better take care of yourself first! Air shock!"

The white light wave that shattered the space reappeared. Cyborg Kong was facing a formidable enemy and resisted with all his might. But behind him was Marinford!

"Steel Bones, Shattered with Jade!"

Boom boom!

The aftermath of the collision created huge waves, which directly swept away countless pirates and navy officers in the surrounding area, creating a no-man's land!

"Humph, I guessed it even without you telling me. The person who started the war behind the scenes is in Marijoa. That's where your real battlefield is!"

Sora didn't wait for Whitebeard to answer and continued his analysis.

"If your target is only the naval branch in the New World, there is no need to make such a big fuss and spread the war to the whole world!"

"And you who were in charge of the raid on Marinford didn't seem to have used your full strength. You just wanted to delay us. Wang Zhi is the best proof of this!"

Kong turned his head and looked at Wang Zhi who was paddling the whole time.

"So, your real target is only one, and that is Mary Joa!"

clap clap clap!

Applause suddenly came from the sky.

"Hmm, hahaha, as expected of Marshal Cyborg Sora, your analysis is correct."

Lex stepped into the air and landed next to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard looked at his son.

"Is that over with Marijoa?"

"Well, there were no surprises. It ended smoothly."

Although he said this, Lex couldn't help but recall the fleeting breath he felt just before Mary Joa evacuated!

god!

The moment he withdrew from the annihilation space and announced the end of the war, an extremely domineering aura came from the depths of Pangu City, and Lex instantly understood who it was.

Nerona Im!

Just as he was preparing to launch an air blast to detonate Marijoa and test how powerful Im was at the moment, Im seemed to suddenly wake up and foresee the huge explosion that would occur on Marijoa next.

The breath instantly locked onto Lex, and at that moment, Lex felt the long-lost feeling of death!

So, without any hesitation, Lex activated the alien space and evacuated all his people instantly.

Marijoa was left in ruins.
