Chapter 342 Past Events
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."
Hines shrugged, intending to reveal some information that had little to do with Fukaros's plan. After all, Egolia already knew about it, so there was no point in hiding it any further.
"...Our current state is the work of Fukaros. You also know that I chose to accept all the pollution from Erinace alone..."
Eugolia nodded slightly and listened carefully to Xines' story of the past...
At that time, Sineus had just absorbed the blood that had escaped from Erinace into his body. His body, which was originally as clean as pure water, gradually became filthy, and the madness from the abyss infected his soul.
Countless thoughts surged in his mind: hatred, destruction, revenge...
Forcefully suppressing his emotions, Sines followed Egolia's last will and took the Heart of God and the prophecy to find Fukaros, who did not participate in the Canria War.
"Fukaros, Egolia asked me to give it to you, along with a prophecy..."
Fukalos silently took the Heart of God from Xines's hand. She did not ask where Egolia was, nor where the other pure water elves were. She knew that her creator and compatriots were sleeping forever in that waterless foreign land.
After reciting the prophecy, Hines did not stop.
"Also, she asked me to tell you something. She said she's sorry for leaving this mess on you."
Fukaros's expressionless face suddenly showed a smile.
"I would rather she said this herself. It's so irresponsible, whether it's a god or a mother..."
Fukaros's tone was a little depressed, but she quickly recovered.
"What about you? Don't you have anything you want to tell me? Or do you think that no one knows about your big move in the open sea?"
Hines held his chest and sat down with some difficulty.
"My mission is complete. I am now polluted and unfit to stay in Fontaine. I... I will leave, um, soon..."
Fukaros shook his head slightly.
"Egolia is like this, and so are you. Why do you always feel that you should face everything alone? The pollution of the abyss, right? The prophecy, right? Leave it all to me, leave it all to me..."
Fukaros's eyes gradually became moist.
"...Just think of it as you taking her place and watching how I carry out her request, okay?"
Hines looked at Fukaros deeply, but he didn't deny it in the end. He said a time.
"One year, I can only give you one year. After one year, please kill me... I don't want to destroy the world she loves..."
"One year... that's enough..."
Afterwards, Hines imprisoned himself in the fetal sea with a broken chain. On the one hand, as a clone of Egolia, he could barely serve as a heart. On the other hand, only here did he not have to worry about the consequences of losing control and going crazy.
During this period, he had been trying to remove the influence of the abyss, but to no avail. In fact, because of his actions, the erosion of the abyss became faster.
This went on until 6 months later...
In the lonely ocean, the concept of time had long disappeared. Hines repeated the boring days of arm wrestling with the abyss when he woke up, and sleeping until he woke up naturally when he was sleepy. Until this day, Fukalos came to him alone.
"A year? No! Six months is enough for me!"
Fukalos held a golden sword in his hand, like a brave warrior in a fairy tale who was about to slay a dragon.
Hines just stared at Fukaros in silence. He wasn't sure whether Fukaros had found a solution to the pollution or a solution to him, but...
It doesn't matter...
"My shameful brother, please don't cry out in pain!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fucaros stabbed at Hines with his sword. Hines did not make any evasive move. It was unclear whether he did not want to dodge or was unable to dodge because he was trapped.
In short, the sword pierced his body firmly. The only good news was that under the water, it was impossible to tell whether Hines was injured or bleeding.
After the long sword pierced Hines, Fucaros pulled back and quietly watched the changes that were about to take place.
Hines also escaped from the initial pain, but what replaced it was not relief, but even more intense pain.
Even now he could not forget that feeling, as if someone had hammered a nail into his head and then wanted to stuff a piece of wood into the hole created by the nail.
His whole body was filled with pain as if being torn apart, and Hines finally couldn't help but scream out in pain. However, in this sea of fetuses, there were only a handful of creatures that could hear the sound, so it was not too embarrassing.
After an unknown amount of time, the pain finally subsided, and Sines raised his trembling hands to press down on his head...
Wait? I can lift my hands?
Hines stared at his hands, which were no longer bound by the chains. He turned around suddenly and found that the chains had not disappeared, and he was still bound. However, that was another him...
"Fukaros...what's going on?"
"Incredible, right? I thought so too. When I first figured it out, I thought so too..."
Fukaros circled around the unbound Sineth, then looked at the one who was still unconscious.
"Simply put, your divinity and humanity have now been separated, but the separation doesn't seem to be that complete..."
Fukaros frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"...The Abyss is indeed a troublesome thing. However, in your current state, you don't need to worry too much about the contamination of the Abyss. I think it can be considered a solution."
Hines' recollection ended here. He picked up the steaming tea on the table and took a sip slowly.
"That's right. What you see now is probably half of me, the part that is more human."
Egolia nodded, not quite understanding. Even she found this method a little unbelievable. If she could have separated herself into two at that time, would the situation in Kanriya have changed?
Shaking her head to get rid of her unrealistic thoughts, Egolia continued to ask,
"This is your case, what about Fukaros's?"
Hines just drank his tea and smiled without saying a word.
Egolia clenched her fists in anger and shook them vigorously twice.
"Hurry up and tell me! You've already said so much, what else is missing?"
"I really can't. Fukaros and I agreed not to reveal any information about her. I'm breaking the rules by saying so much."
Hines shook his head with a wry smile on his face, almost saying, "I can't do it."
