C434 The Dust Settled

"Ah!" I felt like my eyes were about to split open, and extreme emotions welled up within me. The protective talisman on my neck began to tremble violently. In that instant, I recalled the scene of the dandelion seeds filling the sky. The protective talisman on my neck began to float. I loosened my right hand and Cecilia's golden flower basket fell. Wisps of white spirit souls escaped from the flower basket and circled around me.

"Die!" I waved my right hand hatefully, and the scene of the dandelion seeds scattering across the sky appeared once again. The tiny white spirit soul silently pierced through the Flaming Rock Demon's body, the body of Gustva. The body of the Undead Legions that was fighting on the battlefield.

In a very short moment, the Flaming Rock Demon's body turned into ashes and dissipated. Gustva fell to the ground, motionless. The Staff of Pain landed on the ground, and the crystal clear skull rolled on the battlefield, turning into powder and dissipating in the wind.

I stood on the ground blankly as if I was in a dream. My heaven defying Divine Skill seemed to have appeared again. Could it be that a thought flashed through my mind? I once heard people say that a human's spirit also has weight. Could it be that the reason why this flower basket became heavier is because it collects a human's soul?

Before the dust settled, the night had already fallen. The human warriors stood in the area closest to the sky. Even though the foul wind blew against their faces, they were unable to speak. In this battle, there were no less than 100,000 casualties. Regardless of which country it was, their vitality had been greatly damaged.

A muffled thunder resounded in the sky, and icy cold raindrops rained down. I turned my head to look at my clansmen. In my heart, there was no joy of victory. My clansmen finally paid a heavy price for the bravery of their blood energy. Although I ended this war, the mastermind's scheme succeeded. Perhaps the calamity of humanity has just begun.

Thousands of tired eyes are looking at my bloodied body, but I don't feel proud at all. On the contrary, my heart is filled with an unbearable sense of self-blame. I still came too late, allowing the tragedy to come to an end. Only then did I come to the battlefield with a bad motive. Am I a hero? No! I am a sinner! I fell to my knees.

The sound of weapons falling to the ground resounded through the sky. The tens of thousands of human warriors who survived fell to their knees. I did not say anything, neither did they make a sound. We silently looked at each other in the rain until the rain stopped.

"Zhang Loong," the first human who couldn't hold himself back called out my name in a trembling voice.

"Zhang Loong! Different accents, different genders, start calling out my name. At this moment, the meaning behind that name was too much.

I stared blankly at the mountains in the shadows. The rain and tears rolled down my face. "Dad, Mom, did you guys hear my son's name? My son finally doesn't have the ability to stop this massacre!"

A few surviving elite warriors staggered in front of me, "We deserve to die! We shouldn't have disobeyed your will! We deserve to die ten thousand times over!" For a moment, the iron man burst into tears.

I looked at them in a daze and said an ambiguous sentence," Perhaps it's the will of heaven. "

However, is there really a day? The humans who yearn for the light worship the heavens. Where is the angel at this time? Where is the god?

Enotec and the three elders kneel by my side. I can see that their wounds are still bleeding. Did my Divine Skill not dispel the curse on their bodies? This explosion is different from the previous one?

"Let's go back" I stood up and said sadly. No matter what, the homeland of the people of Arreat is still safe for now.

Enotec stood up and said loudly, "Patriarch Zhang Loong has ordered us to go home!"

I was stunned, and everyone was stunned as well.

Enotec knelt down once more, "Your bravery has been glorious for thousands of years. The name of the patriarch has really lowered your status. However, we beg you to stay behind and lead our race to reorganize. With your protection, the glory of Arreat will continue for thousands of generations! "

" God, stay behind! "My clansmen lie prone on the ground, waiting for my reply.

For a moment, I was at a loss. Patriarch? Don't joke around, let me lead you all to continue protecting the Undying King's inexorable law?

"No!" I casually refused, not a single word was left.

The world was silent. The clansmen looked at me in disappointment, unable to speak.

A slender figure rushed out from the crowd and heavily crashed into my arms.

Enotec was shocked and shouted in a low voice, "Anya, do not be rude!"

Anya did not say anything and tightly hugged my neck, "I knew I was right about you! You must agree. That is my dream. You must think of a way to save the people of Arreat from the shadow of fate."

" Anya, what did you say? " I struggled slightly. How could I agree? I couldn't even care about my own matters.

"Crippling the inexorable law, with your reputation, you will definitely be able to do it. That day, you also saw those six-year-old boys. Do you have the heart to let them follow your footsteps and throw themselves into the dark fate?" Anya whispered into my ear.

I was in a trance. Anya always had such a broad mind, but me.

"Promise me, don't let me down!" Anya's voice became urgent, and she still tightly hugged my neck.

"Zhang Loong, what do you mean?" Uma's rather unfriendly voice sounded.

I was stunned. Is Uma jealous for Marina? But how could Marina mind? I turned my head and looked at Uma's face which resembled Marina and was in a trance again.

Uma frowned and seemed to be about to flare up. I hurriedly pushed Anya away. At this moment, a strange wind blew against my face, and my face blushed. It was as if someone had angrily slapped me.

I looked around in a daze. This wind must have been man-made. Last night, when I was in a state of confusion, the wind blew out dozens of bloody wounds on my chest and abdomen. And now, it borrowed the strength of the wind to slap me. Who is this mysterious person who is good at controlling wind elements? It seems like a woman who admires me is burning with jealousy when she sees my intimate actions with other women. Only Marina would do such a thing, but Marina is a warrior. Why would she use wind magic?

What if it was Marina? I started to let my imagination run wild. I suddenly felt a strange sweetness in my heart. If Marina suddenly appeared and beat me up, it proves that she still cares about me in her heart. But that doesn't seem to be possible.

Looking at my despondent appearance, Anya stomped her feet. She was so anxious that her tears were about to fall.

"Looks like I really should take Nana away!" Uma looked at me disapprovingly. It is true that if there is a woman, there must be a mother.

I smiled bitterly and did not know what to say.

"What kind of expression is that? Don't think that I won't dare to beat you up just because you're a great hero. Where's Nana? Did you bully my daughter? " Uma frowned and did not care about my fatigue at all.

"Marina," I wanted to say something but stopped. My heart felt sour.

"Hesitating, you must have done something to let Nana down. If I had known earlier, I would have burned you to death with poison in City of Light, so that my daughter wouldn't be sad." Uma seems to be very sure that I have been disloyal to Marina.

"Patriarch, Marina will never care about anything about me anymore. She is now very good and found a man who is a hundred times better than me." The moment the words left my mouth, I immediately regret it. Do I need to show my sadness and inferiority in front of everyone?

" Pa! "The furious Uma gave me a slap and made me dizzy.

"You heartless man, you actually said such words. What do you take my daughter for?" Uma seemed to not be able to vent her anger and was prepared to give me another vicious slap.

"Chief Uma, please take care of yourself!" Enotec could not stand it anymore. How could the spiritual leader of his tribe be slapped? Wouldn't this slap hit the faces of all the people in Arreat?

Uma's beautiful eyes widened, "So what if I hit him? If you piss me off, I will hit you as well!"

Enotec's face changed, "Although the Amazon are powerful, the people of Arreat are not easily bullied. Patriarch is magnanimous, but I will not be angered by you! "

"Enough!" I furrowed my brows. "Haven't you guys fought enough?"

Enotec bowed and didn't dare to speak anymore.

"Hmph! How impressive! I, Uma, have risked my reputation to fulfill my daughter's wish, yet you treat her like this. How can I be willing to divorce you?" Uma's anger intensified.

I blankly looked at Uma, and my heart ached. When Marina chased me away, she was so heartless. Could it be that I was mistaken? When we reunited in Lut Gholein, she didn't even want to look at me. Could it be that I was wrong too? A woman who changed her heart is really cruel!

Uma can use her family's power to destroy Amazon's inexorable law. Maybe I can do it too. I just need a bit of determination.

I don't want to be entangled with Uma about Marina's problem anymore. That kind of sadness makes me choose to escape. "Alright, I promise to be the patriarch for a period of time." Anya's wish made me unable to reject it. That is also my wish. If carrying the name of the clan leader can break the curse of the clan, then what's the harm in carrying it for a while?

"Tribe leader! Tribe leader! Tribe leader!" The tribe member who received my permission called out three times like a tsunami. Anya's tears fell.
