Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 808

[Chapter 789: The Rotting Black Sun]
It is not that the sun burning in nothingness is just another shadow.
After the initial surprise, Duncan quickly realized this. He did not feel any tangible breath from the “Creeping Sun Disk” in front of him, nor did he feel its supposed scorching heat. He just He felt that the fireball was empty and far away. This feeling… was very similar to when he had glimpsed the other person through the “golden mask”.
This “real sun god” should have “found” the Alice Mansion through some method, and sent his projection here… What specifically attracted this ancient god? Was it because he entered it by himself? Was there some kind of change caused by this? Or was it the movement when Alice analyzed the “route”?
Duncan quickly calmed down and spoke with a hint of curiosity: “How did you find this?”
His tone was cautious but not hostile. Although he has had a lot of dealings with those crazy believers who follow the Black Sun, as well as the sun’s descendants and scum, and each time they get along is not very pleasant (although in the end, they successfully get along with each other), he has no feelings for this person. “The Creeping Sun Disk” himself had no objections. Even after learning that this ancient god could not help himself and had no intention of harming the world from beginning to end, he felt more sympathy for him.
After all… Although there are a lot of ancient gods in this world, this one is slowly roasted on the fire by his followers and descendants. As long as his body’s ability to move is stronger, this “True Sun” “God” might not want to carve “miserable” on each of his tentacles…
“I ‘heard’ the sound coming from the subspace, Pilot 3… This one fell silent many years ago The entity suddenly became active, and I knew that the day was near.” The deformed sun made a trembling sound, saying weakly and gently, “Resurrectionist, we meet again.
“The day is near…you know.” Will I appear here?” Duncan frowned immediately, noticing the details in the other party’s words, “Do you still know about Pilot 3?”
…I am also one of them,” Creep Sun Wheel said slowly , “Before Pilot One decided to raise a new sun, I was also a participant in building this shelter.”
Duncan did not speak, but there was a sudden change in his eyes.
After a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a deep voice: “Why did you come to me? Still hope that I can help extinguish you? If so, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it. Your ‘descendants and followers’ will always do it over and over again.” Rekindle the price, and I don’t have time to deal with them now….
Before he finished speaking, he heard the tremor coming from the deformed sun: “You no longer have to worry about my heirs… and those who follow me.” The Sun God’s mortal man. “
Duncan’s expression condensed: “What does this mean?”
“At this moment, there is no belief in worshiping the real sun god in this world, and soon, no one will remember what the black sun is… and The related memories and records will gradually turn into vague and distorted ‘impressions’, and be replaced by specious traces… Fire usurper, if you have doubts, you can always go to the mortal world to confirm all this. I know you It can be done.
Duncan’s face quickly became solemn. He did not question the other party rashly, but broke the silence after a moment of pondering: …happened. Why? Why did it happen?”
His first reaction was that this “real person” The “Sun God” finally couldn’t stand the torture of slow roasting, and used some method to eliminate all the sun’s descendants, sun residues and black sun worshipers, but then he realized that the situation did not seem to be that simple – the other party also mentioned the relationship with the sun. Memories and records related to the Black Sun are gradually disappearing from the world, and will be “replaced with specious traces.” This kind of… reminded him of the pollution of history!
He stared at the ball wrapped in the corona. Touching the wrists and flesh, he saw those chilling limbs slowly squirming, and the voice coming from the flesh seemed to be filled with sadness –
“Because I am rotting, and after such a long time, it has finally reached its end.” . “
Rot?” Duncan’s heart suddenly moved when he heard this familiar word!
He had heard this word several times, first from the mouths of the four popes, then from Gemona, and now from the “True Sun” “Gods”…
and in this contact again and again, he is also gradually understanding the concept of “rotting” of the gods.
“I am forgetting everything related to ‘me’, and the world is also forgetting “I,” as if sensing Duncan’s thoughts, the deformed sun took the initiative to speak, “I… can’t remember clearly what my hometown looks like, or the people who created me, constituted me, and… The faces and names of the individuals who have transformed me into the posture I am now… They are all evidence of the existence of the ‘old world’, and they are also the essence of my current posture. “Fire Usurper, I don’t know you. Do you understand that
my essence is falling apart, disappearing bit by bit, and this is the result of rot?
Duncan looked solemn, thinking quickly, trying to keep up with the other party’s abstract and difficult descriptions .
, he gradually understood, and hesitantly broke the silence: …He means that your self-perception and memory are dissipating uncontrollably, resulting in those things based on your self-perception and memory also dissipating. Gradually this world…is this the nature of ‘rot’?”
“As you said
, this is a gradual process,” the deformed sun said softly. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but it seemed to be weaker than before, “From now on Our rot has already begun since we came into this world, and this rot has followed the entire history of this sanctuary….
“And sadly, the rational part of us has been involved in the whole process.” In fact, when I am awake,
I clearly know what I am forgetting. Even after those things disappear from my essence, I also clearly know
what those disappearing things are, but this kind of ‘memory’ is meaningless. Those ‘ingredients’ we brought from the old world will continue to peel off over time until they become indistinguishable crumbs…
“I am like this, those who are called the Four Gods, ‘them’ The same is true…
“Fire Usurper, in a long time, I have experienced the stage of ‘rot’ deterioration more than once. The disappearance of traces of the ‘Black Sun’ from this world may be its last time, and also The worst ‘deterioration’ and I’m running out of time.
The deformed sun fell silent, as if after saying so many words, it fell into a state of weakness that made it difficult to continue speaking.
Duncan gradually frowned. He understood the “rottenness” of the “gods” and vaguely thought of many things. But before that, he was more curious about the purpose of this “black sun”.
“You came to me not just to tell me this – what do you want me to do?”
The black sun was silent, and after a long time, a voice reached the ears of Duncan and Alice: “I still beg you to extinguish me…but when that day comes, I also hope you will do another thing to light my remains,
burn it with your fire, and then remember it.
Burn it .
Wreckage? Remember the wreckage?
Duncan frowned slightly, and after a brief moment of confusion, he suddenly understood
…You seem to have some idea of my ‘power’. “He said in a deep voice.
“I have been watching this shelter. Although the continued decay and isolation prevent me from moving, I know that many things happening in this world
include yours,” Black Sun said slowly, ” I hope to get a position.
“A new world’s position,” Duncan’s brows were still furrowed. He didn’t immediately agree or refuse,…you make me a little confused. How do you know that you will definitely get a place in the new world? Or in other words…how do you know that
there will be a new world?”
He paused, his expression became solemn, and he said in an extremely serious tone. :”You know, even though I now have a plan to rebuild everything after the asylum ends, even I am not sure whether this plan is feasible-
I haven’t even figured out how to implement it. It… you just came to the door like this and wanted to book a place?”
“This is exactly the ‘exchange’ I gave,” the pale flesh suddenly slowly relaxed and squirmed, and the tiny tentacles began to move. Extending outward from the corona at its edge, it seems to be telling something, “If you agree to my plea, I would like to show you…
the evidence of future existence, and this evidence will be very helpful to you.” .
Duncan’s eyes froze for a moment.
“You have a piece of ‘evidence’?!”
He stared at the scorching sun, “You mean, – a piece of ‘evidence’ that can prove that the new world can indeed be successfully born?”
Black Sun was silent for a few seconds. Gives a strange answer: “Now, it doesn’t exist.
Duncan felt choked, and even suspected that this terrifying ancient god was deliberately teasing him, but then he realized that he had dealt with many weird and bizarre things, and he was at this “border” After
witnessing many incredible
phenomena , he seemed to understand what the other party meant.
“How can I make this ‘evidence’ exist?”
“When you promise me.” Black Sun said slowly.
Duncan didn’t respond, just thinking in silence.
“I still have some time and can wait patiently for your answer,” Black Sun’s voice came to his ears, and the tentacles spreading from the corona were gradually withdrawing into the sea of fire, “I understand your concerns and hesitations. Black Sun’s reason for this The world has brought
many threats, and I… may not be an enemy to you, but I am not trustworthy yet. “
“I want to ask you a question,” Duncan suddenly raised his head and turned the topic in another direction. ” Do you want a position for yourself? Or for those heirs who have been forgotten by you? Or for…
“For our civilization,” Black Sun said softly, “it once existed.”
