The strong man suddenly said: "Don't look at it for too long!"
Shinji quickly looked away.
For a moment, he found that his mind seemed to be attracted by the darkness outside, and he had some kind of impulse to see the other person clearly.
The strong man took another puff of his cigar: "Don't worry too much. Before this world is destroyed, it won't threaten you and your world!"
Shinji, still frightened, asked: "What exactly is it?"
"A monster that feeds on the world, some call it 'overlord', some call it 'natural disaster', and some call it 'doomsday'."
The strong man glanced at the sky, and then quickly looked away.
Shinji's face stiffened: "Eating on the world..."
Just from the terms "overlord", "natural disaster" and "doomsday", he could feel the terror of that monster.
He couldn't imagine that such monsters existed in the universe.
After calming down a little, Shinji asked again: "Why is this world targeted by it?"
"You're out of luck!" The strong man took a puff from his cigar and exhaled the smoke while saying, "Anyone can be caught, it's just a matter of time!"
Shinji couldn't help but ask: "Is there no way to deal with it?"
The strong man looked at Shinji and said with a smile: "Maybe, but I don't know."
Shinji looked around at the desolate surroundings: "Where is the lamp-bearer of this world? Why doesn't he resist?"
"You're talking about that idiot!" As if he was aroused by Shinji, the strong man casually found a blackened boulder and sat on it: "Of course that guy resisted, but he just used a very stupid method."
"A stupid way?"
"Otherwise, how can you call him a fool!" Smiling, the strong man said: "That guy knew that he could not stop the overlord with his own strength, so he spread the news of the overlord's attack and the coming doomsday to the whole world."
"Want to gather the power of the whole world? Then what?"
Shinji didn't think this was a stupid idea, it was obviously a desperate attempt out of desperation.
"Then all of them worked together to create a three-layer defense system!"
Shinji asked eagerly: "What happens next?"
The strong man spread his hands and shrugged: "Didn't you see the result? The spread of pollution allowed the overlord to lock down the world faster. It could have survived for dozens or hundreds of years, but because of that idiot, it caused the The end is coming!"
Shinji fell silent.
He roughly understood what happened to this world.
Being accidentally targeted by the overlord is obviously the beginning of tragedy in this world.
The "Lamp Bearer" in this world did not choose to wait for death. He ignored the pollution and spread the information about the overlord's attack to the whole world, hoping to gather the power of the world to resist the overlord.
As a result, they lost.
This world has become food in the mouth of the overlord.
But he always felt that the ‘Lamp Bearer’ in this world was not a fool.
The other party just chose the latter between slow death and fighting.
In fact, it is not easy to achieve unity in this world. You must know that not everyone can maintain courage in despair!
Shinji also gradually understood why the "light" defined this world as a safe area.
Because this world is about to be destroyed, it will no longer be anchored to other worlds, and there will be no spread of pollution, so the ‘Lamp Bearers’ from other worlds can come here briefly to trade items or exchange information.
boom...
Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky.
Shinji looked up and saw large areas of the sky shattering, and the darkness from outside quickly seeping in.
The seven "lantern bearers" not far away, all wrapped in black robes, saw this and ended the transaction one after another, and then disappeared into the wasteland in the flickering lights.
The strong man holding a cigar said calmly: "It's about to end!"
Shinji never imagined that his first invasion would lead to him witnessing the destruction of a world.
He watched the sky collapse, watched the earth crack, and watched everything in his eyes gradually fall apart. The shock in his heart was simply indescribable.
Seeing Shinji's appearance, the strong man said, "Newcomer, it's time for you to leave!"
Shinji nodded.
He really had to leave, because at this moment he could already feel the malice seeping into the darkness of the world.
It was a power that made him instinctively fearful.
Now he is too weak in front of that evil spirit.
So he took a step back and took out his 'lamp' from the red cloud cloak.
Although the strong man in front of him did not show any malice and even answered many questions for him, he never let down his guard.
So while he was in contact with the 'light', he kept an eye on the strong man, alerting him to possible attacks.
However, the strong man ignored him and looked at the sky quietly.
At this moment, the other 'lantern bearers' had already left one after another, and now only Shinji and the strong man were left on the broken wasteland.
So Shinji couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you leaving?"
The strong man suddenly said: "Remember that idiot I told you before?"
Shinji asked: "The lamp bearer of this world?"
The strong man nodded, then smiled at Shinji: "Hahaha, I am that idiot!"
Shinji was suddenly stunned and looked at the strong man blankly.
The other party turned out to be the ‘Lamp Bearer’ of this world, which was beyond his expectation.
He didn't expect that the other party would tell him the reason for destroying his world so easily in a joking tone.
At the same time, he also noticed that the last ember in the lamp pot on the strong man's waist was about to burn out!
He quickly lowered his head and looked at his lamp kettle.
"Could it be that when the embers are completely exhausted, the world will lose its protection?"
This discovery made his heart tremble, and he immediately understood the value of the embers. Before the embers were completely exhausted, even the overlord could not invade the world.
And once the embers run out...
He glanced at the sky, darkness had begun to seep in!
The strong man waved his hand impatiently: "Get out of here! This is my tomb. If there is one more person, it will be too crowded!"
After knowing the identity of the strong man, Shinji lowered his guard. He knew that there were not many opportunities like this, so he hurriedly asked: "Is there really no way to fight against the overlord?"
The strong man was stunned. He didn't expect Shinji to ask this question before leaving: "There are rumors that there are powerful lantern bearers who have defeated the overlord, but most of them are false..."
At this time, Shinji's 'lamp' was already shining with light and shadow, gradually surrounding him.
While being wrapped in the shadow of the lamp, Shinji struggled to ask: "If there are other lamp-carrying people who keep invading my world and refuse to communicate with me, do you know why?"
The strong man showed a contemptuous smile: "Oh, that guy's world should also be targeted by the overlord!"
