Chapter 506 Farewell to Master and Disciple
The huge mirror in the familiar inner world is still there, but now it is covered with a thick layer of black mud. Gehn walked to the mirror and cleaned them up like before. After fighting with the puppets underground in the Research Department, he completely lost control and his mood was polluted. However, Gehn is now very different from before. Even if he is restless, he can remain calm and adjust his mood bit by bit.
After sweeping away the layers of black mud, a hunched and thin figure appeared on the mirror. Geen hadn't seen him for a long time, but he didn't expect that this old guy was still alive.
"You are still here, and I thought you had disappeared." Gehn walked to Sigma and sat cross-legged. The old man lying in the mirror opened his eyes slightly, looked at him with a weak look and then continued to close his eyes.
"It should have been like this, but I don't know why I haven't disappeared yet... My mission is to find out the wreckage of the Ashes King. Now it has been born, and my existence has no meaning." Sigma's voice was very small. Of course, it was not a real voice. The two of them communicated by soul connection. This situation proves that Sigma's spirit and closeness have dissipated, leaving only a faint will.
"Is that right... Maybe you have something to do, but you have forgotten it yourself." Gehn said with his head down.
"Maybe, I'm just a trace of residual soul. Most of the memories of the past are missing. However, even if there is something to be done, I don't have the chance to finish it. We're all dying, aren't we?" Sigma said with a laugh and crying, "You guy is really in big trouble."
"Do you think I can't win?"
"Don't you know it yourself?"
"Maybe there is still a little possibility?" Gehn didn't know where he got his confidence.
"Anyway, I can't help much. All the tricks I know have been taught to you. I have learned everything I have learned. The road to duel can only depend on you." Sigma sighed.
"I know." Gehn nodded seriously, "I'm not here to ask you for something, I'm here to return something."
"return?"
"Yes, I have never been able to face myself before. Although I have obtained the power of Yingnian, I hate this power in my bones. I have been fighting with your moves because I am afraid of it. I have been escaping in this way, but now I don't have to escape anymore. Now I am relaxed, and I don't have to think about anything. I just need to think about how to win the duel." Guen took a deep breath, and his whole body showed a peaceful and tranquility that he had never had before.
"What do you want to give me back?"
"These." Gun stood up, and several weapons appeared behind him.
It was a set of shadow-minded weapons taught to him by Sigma, a great sword made of white bones and black mist, two swords, claws, long whip and bone wings. Since he was twelve years old, Gun has been practicing the use of these weapons. Each of them is extremely familiar, driving them freely like his own hands and feet. But it is precisely because of this that he was also tightly restricted and unable to break through this line. Gun had hardly developed his own fighting method and had been learning and imitating it all the time. Now, it is time to reconcile with himself.
He is a shadow mind awakener, and this will not change anyway. Gehn is already extremely familiar with shadow mind, familiar with that dark and deep world. Shadow mind has completely integrated into his body and soul and become a part of him. More importantly, he has learned...how to drive the sharp blade of shadow to open up light.
"From the road of duel, I will fight in my own way. I will come out of your shadow. If I can survive, I will welcome the world with a new look." Gehn came to Sigma with his bone sword in his hands, and placed these weapons in front of him one by one. He once hated and feared this old man. From the bottom of his heart, Gehn always regarded him as a monster, a monster that brought disaster and destruction to the world. He and his Shadow Crow organization caused indelible scars to the people.
Sigma gave him strength to teach him all the key points of controlling shadow thoughts. Although it was to use himself, he was indeed a dedicated teacher. He taught Guern many practical and effective combat skills, making him an excellent shadow thought practitioner, so that he had just entered the academy and became a new star among the new students.
But now, it's time to say goodbye.
"Have you thought about it?" Sigma climbed up from the ground with difficulty, looking at Gun with a pair of empty eyes, with a hint of sadness for some reason. "In the future, you can only fight on your own."
"Yeah." Guen nodded vigorously, his expression extremely firm.
"Actually, I had expected you to make such a decision." Sigma reached out and patted Gehn on the shoulder. His hands were thin and weak, "I haven't told you one thing..."
"What?" asked Guen.
"Actually, your power is not given to you by me. I may have taught you some tricks, but this power itself belongs to you. At that time, I was besieged by several high-level light scholars and was dying. I had no power to give you... What you burst out has always been your own potential." Sigma said weakly.
"What does this... mean?" Guen was a little shocked, not knowing what the other party wanted to express.
"Don't you remember the scene at that time?" Sigma looked straight at Gehn, and there seemed to be some secret in her hollow and deep sockets. "How many people were there at that time? It was in the downtown area of the city center, and there were not ten thousand people around, but there were thousands, right? Among so many people... Why did I only choose you? Can't I find a better host than a twelve-year-old brat?"
"I am born to be an awakened shadow thought? How is this possible? I will only use shadow thought after I meet you." Gehn felt unbelievable.
"You are born to be a double awakened person. You have the light thought of shadow thought at the same time. You are a genius who chooses one in a million... No, you are one in a million. This is why I chose you. You have never shown any sign of awakening before, because you are born with such a huge mind wave energy. The two forces block and fight against each other. Without proper guidance, you will never be able to awaken. All I enlightened you. I originally wanted to build you into a secret weapon of the Shadow Crow organization... But your will is so firm, just like your power, you were born with two powers of light and darkness. You are destined to be a person hovering on the dividing line between light and shadow. No one can have you, you are you." Sigma hadn't said so many words for a long time. After saying this excitedly, his body still became almost transparent, as if he had exhausted all his power.
"I..." Guen opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. The scenes just now flashed through his mind, and they replayed them over and over again in his mind. He finally realized his own particularity, his talent, his destiny, his abilities, and everything about him.
"This is also the last gift I have given you. Perhaps knowing this, you will be more confident on the road of duel. You are a person with extraordinary destiny. The son of light and shadow will not die here easily." Sigma finally patted Gehn's head, and his body began to disintegrate. This ghost without a place of return finally waited for the end of his life. He will sleep in the dark forever, waiting for his soul to return to nature and return to everyone's place of return...
"..." Gehn's palms touched each other, his hands symmetrical, one hand facing up and the other hand facing down, saluting towards the figure dissipating in front of him.
It was not the light-nianshi, it was the secret tribute of the Shadow Crow organization. He knew this gesture long ago in Sigma's memory, but this was the first time Gehn used it, and it was also the first time he admitted Sigma, at the end of parting.
"Goodbye, Master Sigma." Gehn whispered. After so many things, Gehn's was already very different from before. He realized that there was no absolute light and darkness in the world. Even the Light Nianshi organization had corruption and internal struggles. Even among illegal people like Shadow Crow and Spark Legion, there were also knowledgeable people who stick to the bottom line... Perhaps just as Sigma said, he was destined not to belong to either side and was destined to stand on the dividing line of light and darkness.
