Alien Knights

Todd's innermost thoughts did not escape Sutherland's eyes.

Sutherland looked at Todd and whispered: "I can't blame you for thinking this way. Regarding the history of the alien purge, more than one historian questioned my motives afterwards."

"Why did Sutherland protect the alien race at all costs? He even gave up his seat in the parliament, his family, and his beliefs. What exactly made him become a hero of the alien race."

Sutherland sighed softly: "As you can imagine, some people have led the cause to conspiracy theories, but they don't understand some things..."

"Thousands of years ago, my name was not Sutherland at that time. With the help of my tribe, I fought my way through many competitors and finally won the battle of God's Choice."

"In that protracted war, those soldiers who fought with me were like my family, but they closed their eyes forever and could no longer see their victory."

"As a new god, I beg Jingsu and the many forerunners, hoping that they will allow me to preserve the heroic spirits of these warriors instead of letting these people's souls disappear into thin air."

"In the end, Jingsu agreed. He taught me an ancient ability. It is to use the power of the soul to build a space to preserve the heroic spirits who died in the war."

Todd asked: "So, the power of soul space was actually given to you by Jingsu?"

Sutherland: "Yes, I took those heroes who died in battle into the soul space, gave them endless wine and banquets, and let them enjoy the glory and joy after death there."

"However, my power and arrogance gradually blinded my eyes. After becoming a god, I gradually thought that I was omnipotent."

"My people and I began to enjoy endlessly, no longer producing and developing, and used all means to consume the resources of the entire world. Soon, the resources of the entire world were on the verge of exhaustion, and the realm of God was already crumbling."

"I found Jingsu again, hoping that he can save the world and bring everything back to balance again."

"Jingsu gave me a choice. He could send me and all the gods to a strange environment, start everything over, and fight for the right to survive again."

Todd said: "Start over? Does Jingsu mean to let you give up everything you are currently doing and participate in the battle of God's Choice again?"

Sutherland: "Yes, but my people and I are unwilling to give up the power in our hands, let alone leave our home. So, we pretended to think about it, but actually focused on the beacon. On the tower.”

"The beacon tower is a tool used by Jingsu to manage the entire world. We have seen it use that tower to create the world and change the planet. As long as we can enter the beacon tower, we can gain the power to change everything... At that time, we That’s what I thought.”

"My tribe and I planned to use weapons and tools to force open the door of the beacon tower, but we accidentally triggered the mechanism of the tower."

Todd: "The Beacon Tower triggered its self-destruction threshold, and countless disasters descended on the world, turning everything into nothing."

Sutherland was stunned. After a moment, he said with a smile: "It seems that you have met Jingsu, and he told you that history."

Todd was silent for a while and said to Sutherland: "Jingsu also said that he once admired you, but you let him down."

Sutherland smiled bitterly and said, "Really? He said so..."

Todd asked: "So, what answer are you seeking from Jingsu by participating in the Battle of God's Choice this time?"

Sutherland: "As you said before, I want to find the ultimate purpose of this endless war."

"Whether it's a god or a human being, what is the reason that brings us reborn people together to fight each other endlessly?"

Todd was a little surprised: "I thought your so-called answer was to find out the secret behind the beacon tower."

Sutherland waved his hand: "Since the end of the world, my soul has once again wandered in the long river of history. I have watched several battles of God's choice. Many candidates, in order to obtain the power of God, fight against each other, never stop."

"At that time, I had been thinking about one thing... Even if I ascend to the throne of God again, what can I do to continue the so-called Kingdom of God forever?"

"Todd, nothing in this world lasts forever, just like no matter how majestic a building is, it will one day become fine sand on the seashore."

"I just want to know, is there some meaning behind all this dispute and all this chaos?"

"I have spent thousands of years collecting and sorting out information about the Beacon Tower and the Battle of God's Choice, and I have worked hard to formulate the most suitable path, just to get the final answer."

Todd lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked: "Thousands of years ago, you were killed by the Tyros. After that, you established the Council of Elders and asked the aliens to start creating a body that could help you win the Battle of God's Choice. These It’s all part of your plan in advance.”

Sutherland: "Yes."

Todd: "As a reborn person, after your death, your soul did not immediately enter another body, but remained in a free state for a long time without dissipating or deteriorating. This means that you have found someone. This method allows your soul to freely shuttle between the physical and virtual bodies."

Sutherland: "Yes."

Todd: "Since you have the ability of soul space, why not include the souls of your family members in the space. This can at least ensure that their souls will not be damaged during the long period of wandering."

Sutherland: "This is a good idea, but you are not familiar with the rules of soul space. Only as long as the soul space holder is alive, other souls can freely enter it. Before my family died, I had already suffered Burning. So, I can only use the spiritual power to find their souls after that."

Todd: "Okay, one more thing, why do you have to choose this extremely risky way of soul dissipation? Why can't you be reborn again, enter a new human body, and then tell the Elders that this person is Sutherland's?" Reincarnation, wouldn’t this be safer?”

Sutherland: "Once entering the passage of rebirth, the soul will be restricted by the body again. All memories and abilities will be weakened or even reset. For example, most of the soul memories that were originally reborn hundreds of times will be lost and can only be restored It slowly awakens during the growth process; and the abilities related to the soul become unusable because it will change the body. I have done so much preparation work in the early stage, and I don’t want to be reborn again, which will disrupt my plan. ."

Todd frowned: "You hope to retain your previous memories and abilities while replacing your new body; therefore, the Soul Ceremony of the Presbyterian Church has become your only way."

Sutherland: "Resurrection bugs, tyrants, and all ritual processes are secret techniques that have been passed down and preserved for thousands of years. Everything should have gone smoothly, except for one thing that was beyond the control... My expectation…”

Todd: "Undead..."

Sutherland nodded helplessly: "I never expected that the resurrected insect would become such a troublesome thing after being transformed by the tyrant. The harm of the undead has far exceeded my expectation... It must be someone There were some things, and there were some problems in a certain link that I didn’t notice.”

Todd still held on to a glimmer of hope: "But you still have a way to control the undead, right?"

Sutherland shook his head slowly, much to Todd's dismay.

Sutherland: "The undead has been connected to the world beneath our feet. It has penetrated into every corner. Now it has become extremely difficult to eliminate it..."

Todd sighed and said inadvertently: "So? What are you going to do? Just surrender, use rebirth again, and escape to other places...?"

Todd noticed that Sutherland's face changed drastically, and he suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart: "Does your real purpose really want to leave everything here and escape to other places?"

Sutherland stood up and said, "Perhaps we should end this conversation."

Todd grabbed Sutherland and yelled: "Don't even think about running away in the middle of your words this time!"

"Let me guess! When the undead appeared, all your plans to win the Battle of God's Choice were disrupted. At that time, you had already made up your mind to leave here and start over in a new world."

Todd said while analyzing: "But there are a few questions. First, where do you plan to go to escape this undead disaster? Second, even if you choose the location, how will you achieve this transfer? Rebirth? This means you have to give up your memory and abilities? Is there any other way? Third, why do you continue to use Tyrant to nourish the undead now? Even though you know that the undead will eventually cause the collapse of the soul space, you still don't stop. Is that undead spirit related to your escape plan?"

Todd stared into Sutherland's eyes: "One last question, why are you trapping me here?"

Sutherland smiled and shook his head, his body slowly faded, and finally disappeared completely in the soul space.

Todd punched the air hard and yelled at the top of his lungs: "Tell me the truth! You damn bastard!"
