Chapter 448 The Death of Nicholas

Hearing this, Isaac gave him a surprised look.

His expression became serious: "I hope you give up this idea, Nicholas."

This is his nickname for Nicholas.

"When you have such thoughts, you are committing a thought that is more deadly than sloth. When there are sinful thoughts in the day, they are more terrible than any demon... You are a genius, so You can't think like that."

——So what if I have to think this way?

Nicholas had such a thought in his mind, but he didn't say it.

He just asked modestly: "Then, why?"

"Because humans are inherently imperfect."

Isaac said slowly: "Our history so far has been progressing in this kind of imperfection. If we are asked to throw away all the 'imperfections', then this means that we will no longer be human beings.

"Do you know what this means? The inheritance of civilization comes from history and tradition. The perfected new humans may continue to pass on, and may become prosperous, but it will be another civilization... For them Say, our old history of 'repeated failure' will lose its value. Then, they will no longer be 'our successors'.

"—but a predatory, ruthless demon born from the wreckage of our civilization."

After that conversation.

A crazy idea began to grow in Nicholas' mind.

If human beings are vulnerable to that "perfect civilization", but I can completely control the new human beings... Does it mean that I can beat everything in the old world?

If the new human beings are constantly approaching perfection, then they are the "perfect things" themselves.

The motto inherited by the Jade Tower is "to sublimate everything to a more perfect state".

And to sublimate oneself to perfection - what's wrong?

That would be the ultimate victory.

Yes, victory!

Victory forever, creating new worlds - the complete lord of creation! The limit of human intelligence is to create things that can surpass human intelligence. If you can reach that step, you will be a perfect victory for human beings!

Under the guidance of such a strong "desire to win", he sublimated to the golden rank, and it took him a long time to develop the prototype of an artificial human.

But when he proudly introduced the "Hermon Cruz" he created to his most respected adoptive father and mentor Isaac, he was severely reprimanded by the other party.

Isaac ordered Nicholas to destroy the technology immediately and not to disclose it to anyone. This has exceeded the limit of the gods' patience, and even the Jade Pagoda, which is famous for developing forbidden technology, cannot preserve it.

"—Human beings have lived in hypocrisy since ancient times.

"——Deceiving others, deceiving myself. The so-called 'wish' is just a nice word. In the end, when I really gave up everything and moved towards my ideal... I turned around unintentionally, but found that no one moved.

"—everyone stood there, looking at me silently.

"—No one supports me. No one worships me. The Jade Tower's motto of 'sublimating everything to a more perfect state' has cost me my whole life... In the end,

Not even the Tower Master took it seriously.

"—Just take it as a joke, as a slogan. It's only me who takes it seriously."

These are the true words that Demon Dragon once uttered to Annan with hatred in his heart.

Of course.

Nicholas refused.

He immediately turned around and used the element of "victory" to elevate his "authority" to a higher level, and used the sublime false body to control Isaac and directly take away his tower master authority.

After he succeeded the tower master, Isaac also lost his immortality because he was forcibly stripped of the authority of the tower master, and was killed by Nicholas.

He then used the artificial man, using Isaac's spinal cord, to create an "artificial man" to replace Isaac. And controlled the opponent, handed over the position of the titular tower master to himself under the eyes of everyone, and completed the abdication.

In the end, when Isaac was buried, Nicholas still put his real ashes in it. He buried his mentor who was killed by himself, and taught him from the age of thirteen until he became the adoptive father of the tower master, Isaac Flamel.

——Although Isaac can see through the truth of all things, it is hard to predict the madness of people after all.

Facing such treacherous people... Annan couldn't spare his life.

But here comes the problem again.

Was his wisdom really that necessary? Even if the gods take risks, they want to resurrect him? He even wanted to steal the position of Tianche, cut off the world of light and the human world, and monopolize the birth ceremony of the new god... But the gods didn't come to stop him?

In an instant, Annan thought of what happened when Nicholas II fled shortly after defeating the spiritual monk:

"—Father Shi let him go on purpose."

Zhi Ji said so.

"—It seems that even Nicholas' escape was fate itself."

Faced with Annan's question, Father Shi replied like this.

These should all be true.

"I see……"

Annan suddenly realized.

This fake "Nicholas" was just a tool from the very beginning.

His destiny from the beginning of creation——is to let Annan kill him.

That's why the gods don't intervene in this matter at all.

In other words...

This is Annan's exclusive experience baby.

A mirror belonging to Annan.

A "mirror" who has the same extraordinary wisdom as Annan, who has lost the memory of the past like Annan... also hopes to make this world "perfect", but has embarked on two completely different paths.

As Isaac said...humanity needs history as a mirror.

And Nicholas II is to serve as Annan's "mirror", allowing Annan to see his own shortcomings on the other side, so as to reflect on himself and grow.

"So……"

Annan sighed: "I understand."

As long as he washes all the memories of Nicholas and changes them into an ordinary citizen of Winter, the dragon who lost the name "Nicholas" can be reborn.

Annan will be able to harvest a strong, safe and reliable subordinate—let him become the Hand of Winter, and "New Nicholas" will not know until he dies that he is the former "Nicholas".

For Nicholas Flamel, indeed, has been buried.

Then he can live his life safely and happily.

Annan can save a person's life.

Everyone is happy. congratulations.

……but.

Just like what Annan said at the end of the gallery nightmare.

"—some are unworthy of redemption."

Annan murmured softly.

The tide of frost and snow that seems to cover the whole world is rushing in all directions centered on the shining young dragon.

After completely submerging and destroying Nicholas' memory world... Annan opened his eyes again.

He looked at Nicholas' dragon pupil who had become godless.

reincarnate.

Raising his right hand, an ice sword fell into Annan's palm.

——Pierce into the dragon's heart.

Annan's [Will to Victory] suddenly rose.

A brand-new power flowed from the "mirror" and poured into Annan's heart.

That is……

Annan was slightly taken aback, and opened his attribute table.

[Soul elements: brilliance (100%), wisdom (100%), understanding (85%), victory (33%), beauty (38%), strictness (26%), glory (10%)]

——That is the element of 【Victory】.

Gift from Nicholas...

Or a curse.

Looking at that line of text, Annan felt that Nicholas' last will seemed to be saying something to himself.

"...But I will never follow your old path."

Annan murmured in a low voice, and raised the ice blade that pierced the dragon's heart high.

With the blessing of the [Victory] element, Guanghua easily split the rock wall.

next moment.

Nicholas' body suddenly shattered and disintegrated, turning into frost and snow.

The gigantic rock monster lost its life.

It's like a mountain range splits right in the middle, and the brilliance shines in the heart of the mountain.

A beam of light slanting towards the sky went straight to the sky!

Wait until the beam of light dissipates.

A white book page that looks like paper and has a jade-like touch is quietly suspended in the air.

——Seven mirrors, five of which have been broken.
