Chapter 1818: 504 Special Attack Ability
...
That instant.
Guda or Giza's eyes suddenly became incredibly profound, as knowledge like tidal waves from the astral world came rolling in.
Though Matthew was not truly hit by that tide,
he felt the terrifying extent of knowledge harbored within the other's mind!
Matthew calmly searched for any potential loopholes in the other's statements.
But none were apparent for the time being.
Meanwhile, Guda, who identified as Giza, continued methodically,
"In fact, I did not wish to resurrect."
"Emerging from the cosmic ruins, during the days I created the Antu Empire by hand, I had already experienced far too much."
"My life has been long enough, more than a hundred times that of most gods in the material world."
"I have enjoyed everything, experienced everything."
"And precisely because of that,"
"when I was betrayed by the Elite Souls I had personally nurtured, my heart was filled with peace."
"That moment,"
"I knew I was ready to embrace death."
"So I personally pressed the button to destroy the Empire..."
Matthew silently watched the war scenes flashing in the distance.
He did not ask how Giza had caused the destruction of the Antu Empire, for someone with such powerful psionic power must have left sufficient foreshadowing.
It originated from Giza and was also destroyed by Giza.
This could not help but be seen as a kind of fate.
"Since you did not want to resurrect, why did you occupy Guda's soul?"
Matthew inquired.
Giza gave a bitter smile:
"There are two reasons."
"First, this type of resurrection was not of my volition, but rather was passively completed without my knowledge."
"It's possible that the intelligent life of this world was too weak to carry the Evolution Method that housed my knowledge, and on contact, their souls were contaminated to take my form."
"I did not even have the chance to stop it before this transformation was completed."
"The second point is more ironic."
"Do you know? The moment the Empire was utterly destroyed, I felt several gazes from higher dimensions falling on me!"
"How laughable..."
"I exhausted all my wiles building a magnificent cross-universal civilization, yet they never noticed me until this civilization suddenly collapsed, then they turned their gaze to that sector of the universe..."
"I can confirm, it was not my illusion."
"Because that feeling appeared a few times over the thousands of years after my death."
"I desperately wanted to regain some consciousness, to make contact with those gazes, but alas, the only group that carried memories related to me were my offspring—the physically frail Giza Race."
"Indeed, they inherited a part of my talents, but in most cases, they still couldn't escape the fetters of weak spiritual souls in this universe."
"For a long time, due to my strong desire to move in their dreams, this greatly drained their mental power, ultimately resulting in many Giza becoming extremely short-lived."
"Those foolish descendants..."
"They mistook it as a backlash from cultivating psionic power, so a group of Giza under the leadership of a chief voluntarily sealed their psionic talents and gradually forgot everything about their ancestors."
"Those who remained did not give up on psionic power, yet they strictly adhered to the restrictions on its use."
"They never realized the true nature of the problem, yet ironically thrust me back into death..."
"Fortunately..."
"I still left behind the Evolution Method."
"Otherwise, relying purely on those useless descendants, I probably wouldn't have been able to stand here and talk to you..."
Facing this ancient creature who seemed to have lived for who knows how many years.
Matthew's wariness reached its peak.
If anything seemed amiss, he planned to retreat back to Lost Paradise.
"So, you intend to use this story to persuade me?"
he asked.
Giza gave a light smile:
"I just want to go back and see."
"I hold no malice toward this universe, nor do I have any attachments to it; if I were completely dead, then I would just cease to exist; but since I have come back to life, I naturally wish to return to my dimension, to find out why my companion never came back for me."
"To achieve these, becoming a star beast is the only way."
"You must have sensed the changes in this universe, the giant beasts are about to descend, they are the children of fate for the next era, no one can resist them, only by joining them can one secure a place in the next era."
"I'll be blunt."
"The dimensions of your universe are too low, and the energy levels too shallow."
"Only for this reason, could it be selected by a higher-level civilization, relegated to a breeding ground for the giant beasts."
"Do you not want to see the outside world?"
"I have already seen the first light."
"I am confident I can return to my former dimension, and I can take a few people with me on the journey back."
"Just help me."
"Then with my own soul as a promise, I will take you away from this lowly region of the universe, to a world with infinite resources, endless lifespan, and freedom to explore!"
"You could even go to my homeland."
"There, intelligent life forms know no pain, are not constrained by emotions or desires, and people can freely do what they wish!"
"You will become capable of anything, you will be free of worries, and you will understand the true meaning of life!"
Giza said, referring to his homeland.
