Alien Knights

Sitting on the bench in the manor, Meredith stared at Sutherland with a serious face and asked, "Why didn't you tell me this in the past?"

Sutherland looked at his daughter: "Tell you what? I found your mother and siblings?"

Meredith raised her voice: "I have a right to know this!"

Sutherland: "Sometimes, the more you know, the more painful it is."

Meredith gritted her teeth and said, "You have no right to say these words! If you really don't plan to tell me, then why did you bring me here again now?"

Sutherland did not argue with her anymore, but turned his attention to Todd: "Time is running out, you still haven't changed your mind?"

Todd said solemnly: "The answer will not change. I will not abandon my people."

As if he had expected such a result, Sutherland did not continue to pester.

He looked up at the distant sky. Bright sunshine and dark clouds appeared in the distant sky at the same time, and there seemed to be only a thin line between them.

Sutherland murmured: "The undead are coming."

Meredith followed Sutherland's line of sight and looked into the distance, and asked doubtfully, "Undead?"

Sutherland explained to Meredith: "This body is made up of plague undead. My soul and the will of the undead are like symbiotic flowers that coexist in this body."

"The undead and I are constantly fighting for control of this body, but as the undead slowly become stronger, I will gradually lose the final dominance."

Meredith was stunned: "Losing dominance? Are you saying that this body will eventually be controlled by the undead, and your soul will be swallowed by the undead?"

Sutherland nodded: "Meredith, you know everything about the Battle of God's Choice. Only by continuously strengthening this body can I win in the Battle of God's Choice; only by winning the Battle of God's Choice can I obtain the God's Choice." The power of God; only by obtaining the power of God can I open the teleportation gate of the beacon tower and teleport all alien species to a new world."

"After this body becomes a god, the will of the undead will accelerate the erosion of my soul. I must try my best to resist the erosion of the undead before all alien species complete the transmission."

"In case... the erosion of the undead is almost complete before the transmission is over, then before that, I must find someone I can trust to forcibly end the life of this monster."

Meredith heard the voice of Sutherland's words: "You want... to let me kill you in the end?"

Sutherland: "Strictly speaking, this body is inhabited by both my soul and the will of the dead, so what you end is only this body, not my soul... But you are right to say that. I hope You ended up killing me.”

Meredith stood up and said loudly: "This is crazy! I admit that I have wanted to kill you countless times, but never in this situation!"

Sutherland advised: "When the undead erosion is complete, this body will completely turn into an evil god without thought and reason. It will devour everything in the world. No one would want to see such a thing happen. .So, Meredith, you have to do that."

"Besides, you don't have to worry about Spriya, me, and your sister and brother. When my body dies, as a soul memoryr, my soul space will take them into the next reincarnation."

"This is one of the benefits of having soul memories. In Todd's original world, those of us are called reborn."

Meredith's whole body was trembling slightly, and anger was looming in her words: "So, you brought me in this time not to let me meet my family. You just need a killer, a sharp blade. That’s all.”

Sutherland frowned and said, "Meredith, don't you think that the reason why I gave you this task is because I trust you?"

Meredith's anger completely exploded: "Trust me?! If you trusted me, you wouldn't abandon us and let me watch my family being tortured to death!"

"If you had trusted me, you wouldn't have pretended to be deaf and dumb for so many years in the Presbyterian Church and made me think that my father was a monster who had lost his mind!"

"If you trusted me, you wouldn't hide my mother, sister, and brother here and let me wander alone for thousands of years!"

"A strange hero?! A wise sage?!"

"No, you are the most selfish and shameless liar! You are the worst father in the world!"

Seeing Meredith running out of the manor, Sutherland looked much older after a brief moment of shock.

He held the armrest of the bench tremblingly, lowered his body little by little, and sat slumped on the chair, speechless for a long time.

Sutherland's wife Spuria nodded slightly to everyone and ran out of the manor after Meredith.

Sutherland raised his head, looked at Todd not far away, and asked in a low voice: "Did I...really do something wrong?"

Todd: "You already know the answer."

Sutherland: "In this life of my rebirth, Meredith is the child that I am most proud of. She is smart, kind, and perseverant...if it were not for the pain that she has suffered for so many years, which has caused her to be world-weary and cynical. , she should have been the most suitable leader to lead the alien species."

Todd walked to Sutherland's side and sat down slowly: "All the pain you bring to Meredith will only make her farther away from you."

Sutherland held his forehead and said: "Perhaps Meredith is right, I am really a bad father. During the Ragnarok thousands of years ago, my reckless behavior directly led to the entire The collapse of the God Realm... One of my most beloved sons died from Jormungandr's poison, and the other died from Garm's mouth."

Hearing this, Evie standing aside opened her eyes wide with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Hearing Sutherland mention the Twilight of the Gods thousands of years ago, Todd asked: "I once heard you say that the collapse of the world was due to the triggering of the beacon tower mechanism, and the beacon tower triggered the mechanism because you wanted to Are you going to force your way into the tower?"

Sutherland: "Since Jingsu refused to restore the balance of resources, in order to enter the beacon tower and activate the portal, I found all the dwarf craftsmen in Asgard without telling the gods, and forced it on the shell of the beacon tower to open it. A hole half the size of a human being."

"Going through that hole, I saw something I had never seen before."

"Countless transparent pipes, colorful flashing signals, and complex graphics that are difficult to understand."

Todd asked: "Did you find the transmission device of the beacon tower later?"

Sutherland: "No, when I first entered the tower, the mechanism of the beacon tower was triggered. The whole tower began to shake violently and make a huge roar. In my panic, I accidentally fell down the beacon. Tower. When I climbed up again, I found that the hole that I had worked so hard to open...had disappeared."

Todd: "It doesn't sound like there's anything valuable to discover."

Sutherland: "No, before falling out of the beacon tower, I destroyed some transparent pipes in my panic and grabbed what was inside."

Todd: "What's in there?"

Sutherland: "That thing you have seen is the resurrecting insect used in the soul transfer ceremony in the Presbyterian Church."
