He actually left Blaze in such a dangerous place and ran away alone.

Chiron felt a sharp pain in his heart and his breathing was extremely disordered. He felt like he was about to collapse.

If he had remained in that iron body, he would never have done such a thing and would not have been affected by Scylla's singing.

It turns out that living is such a painful thing.

"You look very uncomfortable. You should go back to Piliwen Cave and rest. I don't have time to take care of you."

Chiron was stunned. Only then did he realize that Nessus was fully armed, and the other centaurs also came out fully armed.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"Go help Blaze fight the monsters of the Hundred-Fetus Ganges." Nessus had a strange look on his face, as if he didn't understand why Chiron asked such a question.

But seeing that Chiron was old and looked a bit like he had Alzheimer's, Nessus still explained it seriously.

"The Hundred Fetus Ganges suddenly took flight, and our goblin friend was affected and lost consciousness, so we need to deal with this anomaly."

"This isn't the problem. We'll get hurt and die!" Chiron's throat was extremely dry, and cracks gradually appeared in the picture of the centaurs laughing and hugging each other.

“Pain will become a crack. If you die, you will never feel those beautiful things again.”

"Well... but this is life." Nessus pinched his chin and spoke in a vague tone.

“The vast majority of life is filled with unhappiness and pain; the good things actually only make up a small part of it.”

“That’s why we should avoid it as much as possible…”

"That's why we have to fight." Nessus gave an answer that was completely opposite to what Chiron had said.

The young centaur looked at the sea of ​​blood rising in the distance, listened to the deafening roar, and exhaled a white mist of fear.

"Life doesn't continue to escape pain, it continues to overcome it."

"To face pain, to overcome pain, and then to face pain again, life is such a meaningless cycle. But I know very clearly that although I have returned to the beginning of the cycle, I am completely different. My soul has grown. Besides..."

Nessus wiped his nose and laughed heartily.

"Overcoming pain is the most beautiful part of life."

“Because it’s really handsome.”

Chapter 341: Singing about Suffering and Seeking Pleasure

Scylla stretched out his hand towards the sky, and the Ganges River rose up in response to his call. Every drop of the evil god's blood would turn into a star in the sky.

Just as any soul is qualified to become great, the night will not reject any existence that attempts to set foot in the sky.

When the first red star lit up in the sky, the entire Ganges River shook and roared silently as if it had come alive.

The bright red tear marks on Scylla's face were particularly shiny. She was extremely moved. When the sky was truly touched, all the resentment in her heart disappeared, leaving only the calmness of looking down at the whole world.

This is something the Nemean giants, when they usurped the constellations, could not feel, a sense of transformation from the inside out, and a recognition that seemed to come from the world.

She ascended to a high position, looking down on everyone.

Even though she felt blasphemy after seeing Chiron's true face, she did not lie about one thing: she wanted to complete the circle of life, starting from the painful birth and completing 11 transformations to reach the final step of immortality.

That would be the ultimate happiness, the reward that one deserves after going through hardships in life.

The dried-up swamps of the Hundred-Turning Ganges began to boil, and the snakes dormant underground crawled out at the call of the first red star. They roared, shed their skin, grew even larger, and then grew wings and sharp claws.

The snakes that die in winter and are resurrected in spring bathed in the light of red stars and begin their metamorphosis.

As Scylla said, she gave every creature that bathed in her light the equal opportunity to gain immortality.

"Don't you understand? Lion! What a great moment this is!"

Scylla looked at Blaze who was running towards her lower body and was disappointed by his silence.

"Why don't you understand? Right now, only creatures born in December can obtain immortality. But when you return all the stars and the circle of life is complete, all creatures will be able to obtain immortality, will not feel pain, and will all be able to obtain eternal happiness."

"We can escape this cycle of pain!"

Scylla's voice was full of temptation, and at the same time, she conveyed the pain of her own injury to Blaze through her singing, but Blaze's movements were not affected at all.

The sword is swinging, the flames are burning, and death is approaching.

The moment Scylla shouted about eternal happiness, Blaze knew there was nothing left to say.

Scylla laughed at Chiron for only seeing the beauty of the world, and how was the eternal happiness she spoke of any different.

Look at those snakes that have revived from the swamp, they have torn their bodies apart, become deformed and twisted, is that happiness? Do they still remember who they are?

If even death leaves, what is left of life?

"Live, live, all actions in life are for the purpose of living!"

"Why are you hindering me!"

Scylla screamed hysterically. After Chiron disappeared, most of her strength was used to support the Hundred-Fetus Ganges to rush into the sky. Every time a star was lit, it cleansed her soul, but in return, she needed more strength to support the birth of the next star.

In this situation, she couldn't stop Blaze.

Witnessing the fall of the Nemean Giant, she clearly understood that Blaze only needed to strike her upper body and she would die instantly.

Once you reach the sky, your desire to complete the circle of life will come to an abrupt end.

"Just answer me!"

Scylla pounded the flesh of her lower body hard, Blaze's silence tore her heart apart.

As the messenger who returns the stars, as a great lion, Blaze holds a special meaning for her. Whether she agrees or disagrees, even a single word is a sign of recognition.

But Blaze's silence made her feel that in Blaze's eyes, she was just an ugly, mute monster.

Scylla hugged her body, trembling with fear, or perhaps protecting herself after being tortured.

"I wasn't born this ugly."

Blaze paused and looked at Scylla from a distance. He wanted to say something, but no matter what he said, Scylla would never stop.

So he didn't want to waste his breath, but even so he still wanted to give a direct answer to Scylla's question.

"Because we will die, we want to live."

If you possess immortality, everything becomes meaningless. You no longer need to cherish time, you no longer need to strive, the motivation to live disappears, and time no longer passes.

The world may still remain colorful, but the color has faded from the eyes of life, leaving only gray.

"Really? You, the chosen one, are young and can't understand the fear of being chased by death or having your life eroded by aging, yet you are still moving forward."

"I really envy you."

She smiled at the boy. At that moment, she looked like an ordinary girl, but behind her smile were too many years that the boy could not understand and could not describe in words.

"The loss of the circle of life means that everyone has lost their direction. I just want everyone to have a happy ending."

Scylla shook her body, and Blaze slipped unexpectedly, but he immediately nailed Scylla's body with his twisted sword. Scylla tore off that part of her body without hesitation, and then climbed towards the Hundred Fetuses Ganges.

The extremely huge, half-human, half-beast siren swam and rushed along the upright Ganges River, approaching the sky.

She wanted to use her body to crash into the night sky.

"Oops!"

Blaze danced around trying to steady himself, but he had no ability to fly, and the worst thing was that the auxiliary magic given by Chiron was about to lose its effect.

He could use the [Emergency Escape Device] to escape instantly, but once he left here, he would have no chance to stop Scylla.

"Blaze!"

A loud shout was accompanied by a grabbing hand, which grabbed Blaze and threw Blaze onto its back, landing lightly on the surface of the rushing Hundred Fetuses Ganges River.

"Nessus!?" Blaze looked at the unexpected reinforcement in disbelief.

"Why are you here? The erosion of the evil god's blood, ah!"

Blaze had too many questions and couldn't react for a while.

So Nessus avoided the main point and smiled triumphantly.

"This is the skill [Water Walking], which allows me to walk directly on the surface of the Hundred Tai Ganges River. From now on, I can become a boatman and carry people across the river."

"That's not the problem. This place is too dangerous for you." Blaze had a complicated expression. Nessus couldn't even beat a chicken, so he shouldn't have come here.

"Do you remember what I said before? Is there any meaning to created life?" Nessus suddenly interrupted.

"Your answer can be summed up as follows: eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink, and don't overthink it."

"So I thought of a serious answer." Nessus' voice was indescribably solemn, his muscles bulged, and his horse's hooves kicked with great power.

"Find it yourself! Decide for yourself!"

"We the Centaurs have found it! Right this instant!"

Blaze turned his head sharply. In the distance, he heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping. It was tens of thousands of centaurs. Not just the centaurs from the Hidden Village, but all the centaurs wandering the Thessaly region had appeared.

They were all dressed in armor made by Blaze, and were almost fully armed. In addition to melee weapons, they also took out huge bows.

Now in the night, the guidance of the constellations is shaky, and only a Centaur, completely independent, never guided, never moving, and never changing, could appear here.

Under the power of immortality, the mutated snakes lost their self-identity and were influenced by the blood of the evil god, becoming extremely bloodthirsty. Their path was blocked by the centaurs.

"I heard that death is the climax of life, but I don't know if it's true."

"Who knows?" Blaze smiled helplessly, opened his mouth with the blessing of the moon, and aimed at Scylla who was climbing towards the sky.

A blinding white light swept out, cutting off the rising Ganges River, then climbed up along the river and hit Scylla.

The flames that attempted to shatter the sun shot down the huge sea monster. As the sea monster fell, the Ganges River was stirred up by huge waves.

Scylla slowly stood up, and resentment appeared in his eyes for the first time.

Next, Scylla will destroy them at all costs.

What follows will probably be unbelievable suffering.

But so what?

"Tonight, let us sing the praises of life's suffering and find joy in this moment!"

Chapter 342: Coward's Armor, Steel Grave

The roars of the young man and the centaur resounded through the deep night when no one was awake. Chiron returned to the Pirion Cave with heavy steps. The iron body was sitting there, as if questioning Chiron with its empty eyes.

Chiron gritted his teeth and reached out to the iron body with trembling hands. As long as he could get this body back, he would be fearless and could go back to rescue Blaze.

However, at the moment when Chiron's fingers touched Iron Chiron, Iron Chiron's eyes suddenly lit up, and the surrounding environment flipped and changed one by one, turning into a pure white area.

"Varied--"

Chiron was stunned for a moment, then his heart tightened, and a gust of wind hit him. He subconsciously turned his body to the side, and the iron fist narrowly grazed his nose and fell to the ground.

boom--

The entire virtual space shook under this punch.

Iron Chiron launched an attack on Chiron, and started with the one-hit-kill [Split Light].

"What's going on? Is the combat AI activated? How is that possible?!"

Chiron quickly retreated and shouted out several emergency commands that had been set up in advance just in case, but Iron Chiron remained indifferent and walked towards Chiron with slow and firm steps.

There was a red light flashing in his eyes, and his cold, steely face looked hostile in the alternation of light and shadow.

"Betrayal? Or manipulation?"

[Who is the traitor here? 】

Iron Chiron's eyes flickered a few times, and the intermittent sound of electricity formed a sentence.

[Protocol 1: Protect the Heir Blaze]

[It's you, you betrayed the agreement and fell]

"I know what I did, that's why I want to make amends!" Chiron clenched his fists, and when he found that Iron Chiron had entered combat mode, he immediately sprinted towards Iron Chiron.

"Blaze, the centaurs, and all the creatures on earth are in danger. I need to return to this body to save them!"

You just want to escape into this iron shell.

Iron Chiron moved, his eyes flashing red and drawing a red lightning. In an instant he rushed in front of Chiron, and red steam rose from his swung fist.
