She turned around to face the blurry black figure, her voice choked with sobs.
Chapter 79 The Masked Man Reappears!
Huo Linfei's pupils contracted violently.
Everyone present.
Except for Lin Ci, who already knew everything, almost everyone's brains completely shut down at that moment.
Huo Linfei took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.
He tried to make his voice sound calm, but the uncontrollable trembling betrayed him.
"Tianyu, without you, Fatty and I would never have embarked on the journey to destroy Hades."
"We fought our way here and endured many hardships."
"And now, our master is dead, Fatty is dead, and the Xuanwu is destroyed."
His voice grew lower and lower, carrying a hoarseness as if he had been hollowed out.
“You betrayed us when we needed you most.”
These two words were like two red-hot iron needles, piercing deeply into Tianyu's body.
Her body visibly trembled.
But he never dared to turn around, never dared to face Huo Linfei's eyes, which were filled with pain and disappointment.
Huo Linfei's voice continued, each word sounding like an accusation.
"You know perfectly well that once Hades is resurrected, all seven parallel universes will fall under his dark rule."
"Are you really going to give up your long-held beliefs just to call someone 'Dad'?"
"Please speak!"
Upon hearing this, Tianyu clenched his fists tightly.
My fingernails dug deep into the tender flesh of my palm, sending a sharp pain through me.
Suddenly, her eyes turned incredibly sharp.
She turned around, not looking at Huo Linfei.
Instead, with incredible speed, it reached out and grabbed Hades's neck, which was made of energy.
Her voice was hoarse, filled with desperate questioning.
"Why!"
"Why are you my father?!"
"Why are you the darkest ruler in the entire universe?!"
"why why!"
Faced with her daughter's breakdown.
In Hades's deep, star-like eyes, there was no anger, only a gentle ocean.
"My child, my heart is like a tree."
His voice was deep and resonant, as if it came from time immemorial.
"The more a tree yearns for the light above, the deeper its roots must extend downwards."
"Towards the earth, towards the depths of darkness."
Tianyu unconsciously loosened her grip on his neck.
She repeated it blankly.
"What did you say……"
At that moment, Lin Ci's figure quietly appeared beside her.
He didn't look at Tianyu, but stared at the black energy that represented Hades, and said softly.
“Your father is too lonely and too tired.”
“Your family has lived in a black hole for generations.”
"You have no right to choose between heaven and hell."
"Only you are chosen by fate."
Hades's blurry energy form swayed slightly, as if expressing gratitude to Lin Ci.
He looked at his daughter again, his voice filled with boundless love.
"Child, kill me. If that will make you feel better."
"Then go ahead and do it."
"However, this still cannot change your fate as the sole heir of our underworld."
Hades gazed tenderly at Tianyu.
"You are still my daughter."
Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, it completely shattered all of Tianyu's defenses.
She began to tremble violently.
I could no longer support my body.
His legs buckled, and he knelt before Hades' throne.
The grievances and longings suppressed for 100,000 years were transformed into a heart-wrenching cry at this moment.
When Huo Linfei saw this scene, he felt as if his heart had been squeezed and crushed by an invisible hand.
But when he looked at Tianyu kneeling on the ground and crying, his anger eventually turned into sympathy and helplessness.
His clenched fist slowly loosened.
Hades quietly savored this reunion with his daughter, which was 100,000 years overdue.
A burst of crisp applause suddenly came from outside the dark hall.
The applause was neither hurried nor slow, yet it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
Everyone looked toward the entrance of the hall with a puzzled expression.
A man dressed in a pure black robe was slowly emerging from the darkness with leisurely steps.
The moment Lin Ci saw that person, his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a dangerous pinpoint.
It's not because he knows this person.
Rather, it was because the man in the black robe was wearing a pure black mask.
On the smooth, jade-like lacquered surface of the mask, on the left side.
It is branded with a blood-red Chinese character.
The style of this mask.
He was exactly the same as the masked man who killed him before he time-traveled.
The only difference is that the words on it are different.
The man in the black mask had a mocking smile on his lips, and his voice was like a knife chilled to the bone.
"What a touching scene of father-daughter affection!"
The hazy energy form of Hades instantly emanated an aura full of hostility.
He didn't even have time to savor the joy of reuniting with his daughter.
He immediately whispered to Lin Ci beside him.
"Lin Ci, let's go quickly."
Lin Ci's gaze remained fixed on the man in black robes, without moving.
"why?"
Before Hades could reply.
Just then, the masked man with the character "象" (elephant) also turned his gaze to Lin Ci.
His voice had a strange allure.
"Lin Ci, do you want to go back to your original world?"
“Come to me, and I can let you go back.”
Lin Ci's heart skipped a beat.
This man in the black mask is definitely connected to the man in the black mask who killed him.
He knew he didn't belong here.
Having experienced so many worlds, Lin Ci is no longer the ordinary person who was once at the mercy of others.
He showed no excitement whatsoever, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
He asked in an extremely calm tone.
"You know about me?"
"What is your relationship with that masked man in red?"
Surrounding the man in the black elephant-shaped mask was an impenetrable darkness.
Countless pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
One by one, the Xuan Ying soldiers were dressed in flying fish robes, civil and military robes, and straw hats.
They emerged silently from the shadows and surrounded him.
Six figures, each with a distinct yet equally terrifying aura, appeared one after another.
The majestic body of the Holy Lord in his dragon-human form exudes the sulfurous aura of hell.
