Although they had not seen each other for many years, and the last time they were separated, they were still unexperienced children. However, now that Diana is thirty years old, the person in front of her still looks as familiar as before.
He has long snow-white hair that hangs down to his waist, a pair of eyes burning with cold fire, and a handsome face that even looks younger than Heros.
He sat quietly in the flowing lava, stroking the dragon lance completely forged from Valyrian steel in his hand. The dragon lance, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, seemed as light as nothing in his hands. .
"You are the father!"
When Diana saw this person, her face suddenly became a little excited.
She recognized at a glance that the man sitting in the flowing lava was their father, Viserys Targaryen, the first emperor of the Valyrian Empire.
On the other side, Heros didn't dare to recognize her at first, but after hearing her sister's words, his eyes widened slightly, and then he looked at her in disbelief.
"Is this really my father?"
It had been too long since the last separation, and Heroes didn't react for a moment. However, when Diana revealed her identity, the memories came back like a tide.
However, it is a pity that for some reason, the voices of Diana and Heros turned a deaf ear to each other, as if they had not heard them at all.
"Father?"
"Why is father ignoring us?"
The flowing magma blocked their way, and they didn't know whether the true dragon bloodline could survive such a terrifying high temperature. Therefore, Diana suppressed her excitement. Then she discovered some clues and asked doubtfully. .
"I don't know either"
Heros also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with his father's state. He frowned slightly and shook his head.
However, at this moment, a clear sigh sounded, as if it was ringing behind their ears, which directly caused the hairs on the backs of Diana and Heros' necks to stand up.
Then they realized that the white-haired man had turned his eyes towards the two of them at some point.
But Viserys's gaze was very empty, as if it had no focus, passing through the two people and landing on an open space. The sigh just now came from him, and then a smile appeared on Viserys' face, Finally he spoke.
"Long time no see, my children"
"Diana and Heros."
Viserys said with a smile on his face, his voice was as before, just like when they parted.
This made the two siblings standing outside the lava below very excited.
"Father!"
However, Diana waved and called loudly again, but Viserys's gaze was not even aroused.
Heros, who had always been sharp-minded and intelligent, was the first to notice the clue. He looked at his father's appearance, then frowned, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and spoke in a low voice.
"wrong."
"Um?"
"Heros, what's wrong?"
After hearing her brother's words, Diana turned around in confusion and asked.
"Either this is not my father, or my father's condition is not right."
Immediately, Horos looked at Viserys with piercing eyes, and then spoke decisively.
"Why?"
"Look at your eyes."
Heros's words woke up the dreamer. Diana turned her head again and instantly discovered what was wrong with Heros's words. She was so excited just now that she was undecided.
Father's eyes are very empty now, as if he is looking at an empty space or a non-existent person, or even he is not looking at the two of them at all.
"This is"
Diana shivered, and a chill ran down the back of her neck.
"But father clearly called our names just now?"
"I don't know this either, but"
Heros shook his head slightly, his brows not loosening from beginning to end.
His brain was racing at this point, but he really couldn't explain it clearly. After all, it involved gods, and mortal thinking was limited.
"Maybe now you have noticed something is wrong."
However, at this moment, the 'Viserys' spoke in a calm voice again, but this time his smile shrank slightly.
"Yes, I have a daughter and a son. The me you see now is not the real me."
Viserys spoke frankly.
"Why?"
"Father, what do you mean that the you I see now is not the real you?"
Diana, who had a somewhat impatient personality below, couldn't help but ask.
But Viserys seemed to have predicted their problems once again.
"You want to ask why?"
"The answer is simple, because the real me is already 'dead', this is just a shadow I left behind in advance."
Viserys smiled and spoke in a gentle voice, but he told an unacceptable fact.
"What?"
This time, the two people below, including Heros, were also undecided.
They didn't expect to solve the mystery left by their father and then be transported thousands of miles away by divine power, but they got such bad news.
"What is going on, father?"
"But in fact, for the gods, the word 'death' is not quite accurate."
"The gods are a complex existence that is difficult for you to understand. They are a collection of beliefs. Therefore, even if they are killed, they cannot be considered complete as long as the last person who believes in them in this world has not died. Die."
However, the residual image of the divine power left by Viserys patiently explained to his son and daughter.
"And the reason why I died is obviously that I fell in a battle between gods."
Viserys's voice was calm, as if he was telling a story that was not about himself.
Decades ago, the War of the Gods was launched in a hurry, but the first battle was the decisive battle. The gods of Essos, headed by the Lord of Light, fought against the gods of Westeros, headed by the Seven Gods. .
They destroyed the divine realm and turned the world upside down. This battle between the gods was extremely cruel and could be called the Twilight of the Gods. The gods on both sides fell one after another.
At the end of the battle, only the old gods, Balerion and Viserys were left, fighting against the Lord of Light who had just defeated the Seven Gods.
Viserys originally thought he would win this battle, but he far underestimated the true strength of the Lord of Light, the leader of the gods.
In the end, this tragic battle ended with the defeat of the gods of Westeros.
The 'Black Death' Balerion fell, and the old god had no choice but to escape because of his tenacious vitality.
Viserys also fell in Norvos in the final duel with the Lord of Light, causing an unprecedented earthquake.
However, he seemed to have foreseen something, so he left the dragon spear in advance and was waiting for this moment.
