Chapter 1658
After everyone you know, care about, who knows you, or cares about you is no longer in this world,
what can prove that you are still alive?
When this question suddenly emerged from Matthewâs mind,
he looked at the setting sun.
An old man holding a green piccolo was walking towards him.
The old man was playing a tune that sounded quite melodious as he walked.
...
Only the melody sounded somewhat sad.
Matthew moved closer.
But to his shock, he found the old manâs face looked strangely familiar!
He searched through his memory for a long time.
Only to discover that the old man bore an uncanny resemblance to a bard friend he knew before he had become a godâ
âLorraine?â
He asked in surprise.
The old man bowed his head slightly,
âHonorable God King Matthew, someone invited me to play this dusk-themed song for you.â
He said irritably,
âI donât like dusk.â
Yet the old man said,
âWhether you like it or not,â
âthe Dusk of the Gods is already upon us.â
He became uncontrollably angry.
He wanted to use his divine power to kill the old man before him, but found that he could no longer do so.
âMy powerâŠâ
A sense of unprecedented panic surged within him.
The old man looked at him with a trace of sadness,
âDonât you even want to consider who invited me here?â
Matthew was stunned.
Indeed.
He didnât know when it started,
but he had been deprived of his ability to think!
Whenever he tried to think,
his brain became excruciatingly painful.
Strangely,
he had also become accustomed to this situation.
âWhen did it begin?â
âWas it when I killed Tyraste and the other Main Gods, exiled the God Eater Queen, or even earlier?â
Matthew sat there blankly.
The music from the piccolo played.
The sun set.
A rift crack tore open in the sky, and giant beast claws kept falling from the void, effortlessly tearing apart the palaces of the Heavenly Family Palace and the mundane cities!
Endless fireballs and purple lightning tumbled down.
The earth cracked, the sky fell, the seas invertedâŠ
Scenes of apocalypse unfolded before him.
In the meantime, many creatures helplessly sought his help, but Matthew could only look at them with a blank gaze.
He had lost his divine power.
He could do nothing.
So, he could only watch helplessly as those vibrant lives perished in an instant.
Those tragic scenes stimulated his numb nerves,
until the earth was full of scars.
until the world fell apart.
At that moment,
his heart finally twitched slightly.
It was the first time in nearly a hundred years
that he felt a sensation known as âheartache.â
Suddenly,
the gradually black-and-white hues around him burst into life.
The music, filled with sorrow around him, seemed to become cheerful.
Matthew stood alone amid the hellfire of the shattered heavens and earth,
At that moment,
countless giant beast claws, like falling mountains, crashed towards him.
He suddenly straightened his chest, a hint of relief on his face.
With the next breath,
Matthewâs eyes gradually regained clarity.
âDestruction,â
âleads to rebirth.â
âDeath,â
âsignifies existence.â
âI am just Matthew,â
ânot some god-king.â
âIs all this a dream?â
Matthew stood there stunned, in that land of void.
Beside him,
lay the gradually extinguishing Divine Fire of Retaliation in Lost Paradise,
and four companions, unconscious!
His gaze inevitably drifted to the distance.
Those were the ruins of Heavenly Family Palace!
âSo we never actually flew over the Heavenly Family PalaceâŠâ
Matthewâs heart contracted sharply.
He saw in an old square within the ruined Heavenly Family Palace,
thousands of angels gathered around an old man seated.
The square was dotted with numerous flames,
the flames were pale purple,
Even from afar, Matthew could sense the pervasive aura of ruin emanating from them!
âCan someone actually awaken from the âDusk Disasterâ?â
From the direction of Heavenly Family Palace,
came the old manâs low exclamation of surprise.
âBut what use is there for you awakening alone?â
âAre you ready to accompany the fall of the Heavenly Family Palace?â
âA newly born god?â
His words carried only a hint of scoffing.
But to Matthewâs ears,
it felt like thousands of people were scoffing!
âŠ
âWarning: Heavenly Family Palace is about to collapse!
The Twilight Angel âDelatoreâ has initiated the âDusk Disaster,â aiming to drag Lost Paradise into the twilight dreamscape, to be destroyed along with Heavenly Family Palace!â
