Chapter 284

~8 min read 1,538 words

And in this PV, Welt Yang truly felt that whether it was Acheron or the girl from Earth in his hometown, although they were not the same person, they had extremely similar places.

Not just appearance, but the persistence of never giving up in the face of despair.

【In the PV scene, the entire Izumo world has turned into a gray-black doomsday.】

【The cold male voice says with a heavy tone: "Humanity's resistance against the gods will eventually turn themselves into evil ghosts."】

【"We bet everything, only to exchange for the destruction of two worlds."】

【Blood sins, or other existences, appear one by one in the dark and damp puddles.】

【Weird, terrifying, desperate, these did not dull Acheron's blade.】

【The blood-red sword light slashes across the sky from Acheron's long sword. Under the dark sky with thunder and lightning, the mountain of sword graves that seems to symbolize the end is split into two by this sword.】

【And the 【Beginning】 Edict Blade in Acheron's hand also breaks suddenly at this moment.】

【Seemingly watching the towering mountain of sword graves collapse, the mysterious cold male voice sighs faintly: "That Takamagahara where the gods fell, a long time ago... was also a beautiful place like Izumo."】

【At this time, the scene returns to the scene at the beginning of the PV. In the rain, Acheron silently watches the mountain of sword graves collapse.】

【And the cold male voice asks the question at the beginning again: "So..."】

【"Do you still remember why Izumo forged swords?"】

Livestream room.

"Come to think of it, did everyone notice? Who is this male voice speaking?"

"Don't know, let's see if there will be an introduction later."

"I feel like this male voice also plays a very important role in Acheron's story."

"Just don't know if it's an opponent or an enemy."

"I'm curious, why keep asking Acheron 【Do you still remember why Izumo forged swords?】..."

【On a broken land of ruins, Acheron stands alone here, looking up at the sky.】

【In the blood-red light, there is a dark black sun.】

【Inside the black sun, it emits an unsettling aura, as if it wants to swallow everything.】

【Seemingly answering the man's question, Acheron says calmly: "For a lie... an end that never existed."】

【The black sun emits shadows that shroud the whole world, and everything can no longer escape.】

【"We have long stepped into His shadow."】

【"Every step forward, we can never look back."】

【"Until the last 【sword】 (person) is forged."】

【【Nothingness】.】

【Acheron in white clothes holds the broken Edict Blade, with only the hilt and a section of the blade left, in front of her chest.】

【A drop of blood tear falls from Acheron's cheek onto the broken blade. In an instant, the blade is covered with blood-red light, spreading from the break, turning into a brand new Edict Blade.】

Livestream room.

"My god, that black sun, it won't be the thing I think it is, right?"

"I felt a kind of indescribable fear just by looking through the screen. Maybe it really is."

"What kind of sin did Acheron's hometown commit to encounter Him!"

"I didn't expect that I could see some of His images one day."

"This is not something worth praising."

"I remember, before in 【Dance of the Eternal Void】, Black Swan seemed to have seen the scene of the black sun in Acheron's memories."

"I finally understand why Miss Black Swan became like that."

"Don't talk about Miss Black Swan. I think anyone who sees Him would be panicked, right?"

"Sigh, although the PV is just some intermittent scenes and words, Acheron's past experience can basically be inferred."

"Hmm, it's just that this past is too heavy."

【And in the PV scene, facing Him, Acheron inevitably receives the infection of this power.】

【That beautiful long hair turns into a color as pale as snow, and the long sword in her hand flows with dangerous blood-red light.】

【Finally, Acheron wields her blade towards that black sun.】

【A blood-red sword light slashes across the sky, flying towards that black sun.】

【Afterwards, the scene suddenly changes, and the black sun hangs high above the void.】

【Under the blood-red sky, the past appears like a scroll.】

【That is the birth of the Edict Blades in the past and the images of the 【Eight Million Gods】.】

【Finally, the scene falls into a pale color, only Acheron's lost low voice rings out: "I only know that this world is as short as dew, however..."】

【"However..."】

With Acheron's last unfinished words, the PV titled "Fable of the Floating World, A Single Blade Cleaves the Void" ends here.

The Luo Fu Xianzhou.

In the Seat of Divine Foresight.

After watching the PV, General Jing Yuan sighs deeply and says slowly: "Sigh, at the beginning, who could have known that the opponent Acheron and the others faced would be Him?"

Lieutenant Yanqing's expression is complex, and he says in a deep voice: "In that situation, Miss Acheron still didn't give up resistance..."

"It's just that, facing Him, even if Miss Acheron slashes all the enemies in front of her, she can only be eroded by His power..."

"Is this how Izumo was destroyed..."

General Jing Yuan pats Lieutenant Yanqing on the shoulder and says: "The galaxy is vast, and there are countless worlds. Some things, we are powerless to do."

"Lieutenant Yanqing understands, it's just..." Lieutenant Yanqing recalls Acheron's changes at the end and sighs: "So, Miss Acheron, was she influenced by His power and became a 【Self-Annihilator】?"

General Jing Yuan nods and says: "That's right. This explains why Acheron's memory is getting worse and worse, and also why Acheron is unwilling to draw her sword."

Where the Astral Express crew is located.

Welt Yang's eyes flash with a complex look, and he sighs: "This... is Miss Acheron's past, right?"

Following Dan Heng also sighs: "Regardless, Miss Acheron is a person worthy of admiration."

"It's just that, facing Him, we have no choice."

March 7th says with emotion: "So Miss Acheron's final appearance is..."

Following Dan Heng nods and says: "Hmm, 【Self-Annihilator】, infected by His power. To be able to reach today, combined with the situation Miss Acheron showed before, this is the only explanation."

Self-Annihilators are a group of people who accidentally stepped into the shadow of Nihility IX and thus lost the meaning of existence.

The shadow of Nihility covers the starry sky equally. Self-Annihilators may be born in any world. These poor people have a commonality: their various existence attributes: body, cognition, memory... will gradually disappear on the journey of self-annihilation.

Some people's skin becomes like rotten dead wood, full of scars and holes; some people's endocrine system begins to be disordered, not distinguishing between happiness and pain, becoming numb to everything; some people lose their memory, some lose their senses...

They seem to be deprived of the meaning of life by some existence, and can only see their figures disappear into a black hole at the end of the horizon in dreams and hallucinations.

Even with the existence of 【Doctors of Chaos】, it is only barely delaying the time a little.

It can be said that as long as one becomes a Self-Annihilator, the ending is already doomed.

Acheron is also like this. Judging from her performance in the previous Penacony plot, her memory is fading day by day, and her emotions are becoming indifferent, which is obviously extremely consistent with the characteristics of 【Self-Annihilator】.

In the teahouse where players gather.

Many people see the end and their expressions become complex.

Some who are more knowledgeable have already noticed Acheron's state and can't help but be speechless.

"Sigh, fate is too cruel to Miss Acheron."

"When the Edict Blade in her hand broke and shattered, Acheron didn't give up; when the companions around her left one by one, Acheron didn't give up; when she fought the crisis of the entire Izumo alone, Acheron didn't give up; when she finally faced Him, Acheron still didn't give up."

"Even if it is facing Him, even if she knows there is no result, Acheron still wielded this sword towards Him. This is Acheron's resistance and strength."

"Facing one despair after another, I ask myself that I can't do these things. Perhaps I would have sunk long ago when my companions left me one by one."

"Because of this, we admire Miss Acheron so much, right?"

"It's just that, although we know about Miss Acheron's past from these PVs, it is still a mystery why Miss Acheron intercepted Duke Inferno's invitation letter and came to Penacony."

"Perhaps this is related to the later plot and cannot be exposed."

"To be honest, after watching these PVs of Miss Acheron, I don't want to believe that Miss Acheron would be a big villain with bad intentions."

"Hmm, I think so too."

"Hmm~ wait, it seems some text hidden under the PV was discovered in the livestream room."

"I saw it too. The person talking to Acheron in the PV is called White-Haired Ghost, right?"

"A bit curious, is White-Haired Ghost Miss Acheron's companion, or Miss Acheron's enemy?"

"Don't know, can't tell from the PV."

"Whether it's a companion or an enemy, the only one left in the end is still Miss Acheron."
