Chapter 448
by fanqienovelChapter 448: The Strong Desire for Death
“How should I put this?”
Considering the situation of the Battle Master, Su Wen said tactfully, “When we were all together, your successor showed an unusual stubbornness and enthusiasm.”
The Battle Master raised an eyebrow and replied, “Just say he’s foolish without beating around the bush. After all, I am different from him.”
The difference between being in charge and not is still quite significant!
“Although the Fighting God can be foolish at times, during favorable situations, we generally believe that a little foolishness is acceptable.”
Su Wen smiled and said, “If the Fighting God is happy every day, doesn’t that indicate that the situation is still under our control?”
The Battle Master sighed in response, “Indeed! The most joyful and carefree beings in the world are those who don’t have to take responsibility for others, aren’t they?”
Su Wen nodded in agreement; indeed, from that perspective, the foolish are often the happiest people.
However, judging the Fighting God this way isn’t entirely fair.
While the Fighting God sometimes does act silly, he’s not at that level.
After all, he is the God of Fighting!
During battles, the myriad changes on the battlefield never escape the wise eyes of the Fighting God.
“I am different from the Fighting God of the Ninth Age.”
After a moment of silence, the Battle Master suddenly said, “Whether my comrades are here or not, my role on the battlefield and my strategic abilities remain largely the same.”
“The only difference is that my experiences have grown, I’ve witnessed more of the world’s harshness, and the tactics I devise after maturing internally have become more prudent.”
When talking about the Fighting God of the Ninth Age, he suddenly remembered the true god’s inquiry regarding this celestial officer’s experience.
How many comrades remain?
This implied question suggests that the growth of his successor is similar to that of the Fighting God of the Ninth Age, doesn’t it?
“I understand.”
Su Wen nodded involuntarily from the side.
He wasn’t fully aware of the specific details; the First Age feels far too ancient to him.
Not to mention the First Age, he still hasn’t figured out what happened during the Eighth Era!
And what about the changes that occurred between the Second Age and the Seventh Age? There must have been significant transformations!
Especially since the Second Age was led by the Star God, a being who had the fate of the universe in his hands. Any astonishing arrangements made by him seem quite normal.
Even though the Star God advised him not to have expectations of those ancestors!
After learning about some backgrounds and various events surrounding the battle for the universe, he couldn’t help but have some thoughts arise.
Most importantly, the Second Age was ruled by the Star God!
Based on the information he has, personalities across the ages and their respective divine positions are largely similar.
The sub-timelines Star Gods consistently pave their way in Huaxia, sparking a little expectation towards the Star God during the Second Age in office.
Did the Star God of the Second Age, during his tenure, carry the future and survival of two universes, quietly waiting for the final battle to arrive?
Everything is part of the plan!
Everything is set up!
Everything is a piece of the grand scheme!
Could it really be this way?
All he can say is that he hopes so.
He also looks forward to the day when he can communicate and negotiate with the Star God of the Second Age.
Or perhaps, with the power of the river of time, the Star God could converse with the Star God in office, making many murky matters crystal clear.
“What do you understand?”
The Battle Master said with a sigh, “Alright, let’s cut the chatter.”
“Come on!”
“Let’s play some little games to sharpen our combat heart!”
“Hope you can keep up!”
As he spoke, the Battle Master’s figure vanished instantly.
At the same moment, the grand starry scene around them shattered the stillness and sprang to life.
“Buzz!”
In a daze, Su Wen felt a jolt in his mind.
When he regained his senses, his body had already transformed.
Crimson armor!
A towering spear!
A blazing war banner!
An unstoppable, powerful force!
Now, he wielded the immense power and fearsome army of the Fighting God of the First Age!
Wherever he commanded, they would fight to the last breath!
“Great God!”
“The Star Army on the southeastern battlefield is in peril, requesting reinforcements!”
“The God of Wealth’s army on the northwestern battlefield has been breached at three points, calling for the aid of the Fighting God!”
“……”
In an instant, a flood of battlefield reports poured into Su Wen’s mind.
Instinctively, as his thoughts shifted, Su Wen began to coordinate and deploy forces across the battlefield.
As expected, relying solely on the guidance of the Fighting God’s power and his instinctive command, Su Wen faced the bitter taste of defeat.
Even with his overwhelming combat power, capable of sweeping aside all foes, the scale of the clash between the two universes was simply too vast.
So vast that he couldn’t possibly manage it all alone!
The cunning tactics of the Remnant Universe were fully utilized to restrain, encircle, kite, and combat Su Wen.
Under Su Wen’s control, the Fighting God in power exchanged injuries for injuries. Aware that the war’s situation was irreversible, without hesitation, he ignited everything, unleashing all his strength to break through the encirclement.
Then, beneath the bewildered gaze of the high-level forces of the Remnant Universe, he charged fearlessly toward their position.
Kill for kill!
Death for life!
Remnant Universe!
Go and attack!
Go and plunder!
Even if you succeed in your attack and win this final battle, your universe will still be utterly destroyed by the frenzied explosion of the Fighting God in power!
In this war, the Remnant Universe will not be the victor.
And their universe will experience nirvana after the failure of the First Age, ushering in a brand new Second Age!
Thus, the young universe, the newly born cosmos, with its vibrant vitality, can drag the Remnant Universe to its demise!
“Boom!”
In the silence that enveloped everything, both universes collapsed, and everything returned to darkness.
“Actually, this war is meant to hone your command abilities.”
After appearing, the Battle Master said solemnly, “But your decision was beyond my expectation, yet… it was still within my range of imagination.”
“Child, why is your desire for death so intense?”
As he spoke, the Fighting God paused and then said softly, “Is life truly not worth your attachment?”
Upon hearing this, Su Wen was momentarily stunned and fell into silence.
In the face of certain defeat, he would rather be a shattered gem than a whole tile!
Why should he leave behind a complete universe for the Remnant Universe to consume?
As for the life he might be reluctant to lose?
Under the fallen nest, how can there be unbroken eggs?
In the Ninth Age, the final age where failure meant death, he witnessed numerous tragic endings that urged him to move forward.
He had no time to ponder these matters!
If his death could secure a victorious outcome, ensuring a bright future for a thriving homeland, perhaps… he would not hesitate to die!
Just like the fellow travelers in every sub-timeline who walked toward sacrifice.
The future self can, so how can the present self fear death?
