Douluo Dalu: Reborn Great Sage Conquering Demons, Nuo Dance to Calm the Demons

Chapter 8 Karma
Xiao only felt himself being dragged by invisible shackles and drowning in the dark tide of the abyss.

Suffocation, cold, fear, confusion, countless thoughts flooded my mind.

I should have cut off my life from the worldly world, and spent my whole life wandering in the wilderness, protecting the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue.

But at this moment, I was entangled in endless karma and gave rise to all kinds of delusions.

In a trance.

A familiar figure appeared in front of him.

I saw him emerging from the darkness step by step. His lean and upright figure, the glittering jade spear, and the dark green ferocious Nuo mask on his face!

The person in front of me was actually another me!
"After being reborn, why do you still reject your true nature?"

He slowly took off his Nuo mask, revealing his stunningly handsome face. However, his pupils were a chaotic red!

Xiao was shocked and suspicious. He stared at the person in front of him and asked solemnly:
"Who are you?"

The man walked over slowly, with a cold smile on his face:

"Who am I? Of course I am you!"

He finished speaking in a deep voice and continued:
"I am another you, and you... generally call me 'Karma'!"

Hearing the word "karma", Xiao was shocked.

Could it be that the thing that has been bothering me for thousands of years and causing me unbearable pain is the person in front of me?
Originally, it was just an ethereal energy, but now it has grown to be the same as an ordinary human soul.

"Hmph~ Don't look at me like that!"

The man walked closer step by step, came to two feet in front of Xiao, and continued:

"Some people say that I am the 'remaining hatred' of the devil, a filthy and chaotic thing. But I feel that I am closer to the truth than you in front of me! I am the collection of all your hatred, pain, delusion, and obsession. I know what you desire and what you beg for better than you even know yourself!"

Speaking of this.

He paused for a moment and asked softly with deep meaning:
"Why don't you think about what you want to do most now?"

Hearing this, Xiao wanted to control his soul and stand up in the deep abyss ahead. However, his struggles and explanations were in vain! At this moment, he seemed to be in a nightmare and could not move at all.

With no other choice, he could only face the other self in front of him in the posture of falling into deep space.

"Are you asking... me, what do I want to do?"

Not long ago, someone asked me the same question. At that time, I was confused and didn't know how to respond. And now, I still can't find the answer!
Seeing Xiao remained silent.

The man stretched out two fingers, gently supported Xiao's chin, and forced Xiao to look at him.

"Since you don't know, let me tell you the answer!"

"There is only one thing you need to do!"

"That is……"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!!"

The other self in front of him yelled the word "kill" three times in a row.

At this moment, his expression became extremely excited and extremely perverse.

He suddenly made a move, grabbed Xiao's throat fiercely, and dragged Xiao towards himself mercilessly.

"Don't forget, we are Yakshas who eat raw meat and drink blood! How many people have you killed and how many living people's flesh and blood have you devoured in the past?!"

"Why, you forgot all this?!"

Just two short sentences actually made Xiao shudder with fear.

Deep in the mind, the most hidden and painful memories were dug out by the person in front of him!
In the past, I was an elf walking in the forest. Because of my ignorance, my "real name" was known by a certain demon.

He was an extremely cruel and violent demon god. He enslaved himself with his "real name" and forced himself to kill people everywhere for him, bringing disaster to the world!

He locked his throat with a spiked collar, whipped his back repeatedly with thorny vines, and even burned his chest with a hot iron.

I could still endure these physical tortures. But the demon god was even more violent. He forced himself to commit unprovoked killings in human villages. He forced himself to torture and kill innocent villagers, and then eat their flesh and drink their marrow! He forced himself to devour the dreams of humans at night, leaving them trapped in nightmares all day long.

This is how I am, enslaved and driven, year after year.

At that time, the happiest thing for me was to eat snowballs in big mouthfuls on snowy days. The coldness of the snow could slightly relieve the burning pain in my throat.

Later, the Demon War broke out.

The perverse and rebellious demon god eventually died under the rock spear thrown by the "Emperor of Rock".

At that time, I was already prepared to die.

Although the sins that I have committed were not intentional, they were truly committed by myself!
But at that time, I was exceptionally calm.

Isn’t death a kind of relief for myself?
however.

The Emperor personally removed all the shackles for himself and regained his freedom. In order to hide his "real name", the Emperor even gave himself the name "Xiao".

later.

He was enlightened by the Emperor and became one of the five guardian Yakshas, ​​with the title of "General Golden Peng"!
He made a contract with the Emperor to spend his entire life killing and eliminating demons to protect Liyue.

Although I have already guessed the final outcome, the time I spent with the other guardian Yakshas was the happiest time of my life.

At that time, I truly understood the meaning of "home".

This is the memory.

Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a rare happy smile.

But the next second.

A strong feeling of suffocation forcibly interrupted Xiao's memories.

"Make a contract to protect the lights of Liyue?"

"Oh~ How ridiculous!"

The other self in front of him tightly grasped Xiao's throat, and his voice became extremely hoarse:

"Protect? What qualifications do you have to talk about protection now?"

"The 'God of Dust' that you wanted to protect will eventually be sacrificed and die in front of you!"

"The four Yaksha brothers and sisters you wanted to protect killed each other and died because of your absence!"

"The traveler you wanted to protect is now lying in the crystal coffin in the Abyss Palace!"

"The Liyue you wanted to protect is now infested with monsters, and yet you are here in a daze!"

"Even the emperor you wanted to protect is now fighting alone, just because you fell first..."

Speaking of this, the other self in front of him became extremely excited!
He was hysterical and shouted angrily:

"For thousands of years, you have been trying to atone for your sins and to 'protect'! But in the end, what have you been protecting?"

"You are a complete loser!"

talking.

With a fierce push, he pushed Xiao's body into the endless abyss.

"Since... you can't do anything, why not just sleep here forever."

"I am in control of this body!"

at the same time.

Qiqi tried her best to protect Xiao behind her. However, under the continuous siege of the two Titled Douluo, she, who was not good at fighting, was now covered with wounds.

Just as the two titled ones were using their killing moves, ready to put Qiqi to death.

In the space and time that was forcibly sealed by the "Bipolar Static Field", there were unexpected movements...
