The Golden Throne

Chapter 234: The Spirits Grieve

Liu Feng turned around to look at Leon. He was standing over him, grinning.

“You can stop this? Can you actually stop this explosion from taking place? Or are you going to take me away before I die?” Liu Feng asked.

“No one can stop that mana crystal from exploding, dear child. But I can always take you and escape. All if you agree to give me that method of preparation. Just lean in to the other side that will eventually win. The demon king is one of the most powerful beings in the whole world, and no one will be able to stop his decent into this continent. Not that puny resistance force, and not you. So accept this offer. How much longer do you think you have?” Leon laughed.

“You said that no one can stop this from exploding?” Liu Feng asked.

“No. Don’t do it. Do not betray this continent. You are a person that all four spirits trusted, and became your contractor. Do not break this trust. Please.” Pyrus suddenly whimpered in his ears.

“We have no right to say this to the poor boy. He is about to choose between life and death. That is a situation that he is in because of the responsibility that we have pushed on to him. Let him choose for himself. Will he die a hero, or will he become a villain? To fight against the same ones that he swore to protect?” Aquous interhected.

Cough! Cough!

Liu Feng grinned.

“You don’t have to be so cringe. One life was already a boon. I was lucky to get a second life, but it seems that God had cut that short. What can I do about it? That is just fate.” Liu Feng wheezed. “I am not going to go down so pathetic. Let the world know that I was a hero till the end.” Liu Feng shouted as he released his hands. Suddenly, purple light fell out of Liu Feng’s hands.

“You fool! Do you have any idea what you have done? You have killed us all. I cannot escape in time. I will-” Leon stopped as he saw the mana crystal that was acting as a power source grow brighter and brighter.

“Curse this. I will not give up hope.” the demon cried out as he started running. He was not nearly as fast as the dragons, and Liu Feng could see him.

“Looks like this life was also a bust.” Liu Feng sighed. 

The purple mana source started shaking, and it started jumping from where it stood. Cracks started appearing within it, and all that mana within it started going haphazard.

“So many regrets. I did not do anything right at all. This life was as bad as the last. Problem after problem, I only made things worse for me. I should have just had a quiet life, and married someone and settled down. Why did I have to have such big aspirations? No. I should have had bigger aspirtations. I should have been more powerful. I should have created a bigger and better nuclear weapon that could have killed even the demon generals and the demon ministers. I should have done things better. I was the one who made these mistakes. Just give me one more chance god, and I will show you that I will not let you down. I will give you a good show for sure. After all, isn’t that what you wished for?” Liu Feng shouted at the sky with frustration.

“Heh.”

Liu Feng could swear that he heard a voice. He looked around, but there was no one around him. He looked up again, but the sky was dark, and he couldn’t see anything in it. It was like no one was there, yet someone spoke. Someone had responded.

Liu Feng glanced at the mana crystal. It was stabilizing. It was like some supernatural force had stopped it.

“Did he listen? There is no way right. Don’t tell me! God is there and he liste-“

Boom!

The crystal broke into thousands of pieces which all hurled in different directions. But this was not what was so scary. What was so scary was the fact that there was enough mana to blast a whole city, and it was hurled in all directions.

Liu Feng closed his eyes as the mana swept him, and a few shards of mana crustal struck his body. He felt his consciousness draining.

“Guess that was just wishful thinking, eh?” he thought to himself. 

The world became black soon enough, and Liu Feng was greeted by the same scene that he saw a decade and a half ago.

“I am dead again. I should have expected this. This was the only possible outcome. Hope is a goddamn bastard, to think that I heard something. It was a good run. I only wish I fully ran that Amelia route. I think it would have gone somewhere.” Liu Feng whispered to himself. 

He looked around.

“I think this is purgatory? But wasn’t the last time instant? I was instantly taken to another body. Looks like last time was a mistake, and this time, I have to run full circle, and I have to go to the gates of hell.” Liu Feng thought. 

He wanted to move, but his body was frozen in place. He glanced down. His body was in it’s spiritual form, and it looked like he was back in the same form that he was in during his last life.

“What is happening? Don’t tell me that hell is just staying here in darkness for all eternity?” Liu Feng cursed.

“I wonder. Why is it that you have given up on life so early? I thought that you had so much to do. You gave quite an impressive speech just a few seconds ago. Why are you so resigned to fate now?” Liu Feng heard a voice from all directions.

“Zeus?” Liu Feng exclaimed.
