EBE Chapter 837 Rei's Self-Breakthrough
Chapter 837 Rei's Self-Breakthrough
"It doesn't seem to be an illusion. Where is this?"
Saint Thunder Lei asked doubtfully. The figure in front of him that looked exactly like himself gave him an inexplicable sense of security.
"This place can be said to be your state of mind, and I am the thoughts and body that you have been suppressing."
A Rey answered. This Rey was almost a reflection of Holy Thunder Rey. For the sake of convenience, he was called Rey's Reflection.
Holy Thunder Rey said that he would go out to rescue Blake as soon as possible. Rey's reflection said frankly that he needed to rest, and when he raised his hand, the surrounding situation changed.
The darkness around him receded like a tide, revealing a familiar landscape, the terrain of Helka that Rey missed.
“It’s so nostalgic!”
Lei Yi's reflection said intoxicatedly, but Shengting Lei Yi had no time to reminisce, his brows were full of tension and anxiety.
"I have to leave."
"The disordered star soul is very dangerous."
"I know."
"Sorensen, Great Dark Sky, and the Chaos Star Soul are different from them all. He is unlike any enemy you have ever faced before. He is destroying your existence!"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Rey's reflection was the elf who was most familiar with Holy Thunder Rey. He knew that he could not convince his other self, so he could only explain Holy Thunder Rey's current condition and how dangerous the Disordered Star Soul was.
"Rei, let me ask you, have we ever had any verbal communication before this?"
“This is the first time.”
"I was once a part of you, Rei. I was your strength, your pride, the part of yourself you always wanted to surpass."
"Every time we meet, every time we become one, it is to enable you to gain the power to resolve the current crisis."
"Until you gain the power of the Elf King, I will drift away from you."
"Will the power of the Elf King...have any effect on you?"
Saint Thunder Lei asked doubtfully.
"I am the future you were supposed to reach before you received the Elf King's intelligence."
"But doesn't the power of the Holy Spirit in you come from Master Puni?"
"Everyone has the potential to reach the Holy Spirit. Lord Puni, as a guide, accelerated this process, but the Elf King is different. He changed your direction. You no longer need me, so I became silent."
"The Discord Star Soul awakened me. I was informed of my thoughts and feelings. Now they are urging me to guide this body called Rei in the right direction!"
"Rei, this is a state of mind, your inner world. The one who should change it is you, not me."
Rei's reflection said indignantly.
"That is to say..."
"You're not the only one in Rei now."
"However, I have no intention of competing with you. This body belongs to you, and it can only be yours."
"But now, I'm not going to help you leave."
"why?"
"Once you wake up, you will definitely attack Discord again, touch him again, and return here."
"That's not a reason for me to stop here."
"But to me it's like, by the time you get here again, we might have to be on opposite sides."
"But you said you wouldn't fight with me."
"That's just now. I don't approve of everything you say, Rei!"
Facing the incomprehensible words of Rei's reflection, Saint Rei asked himself:
"I believe that everything I do is in accordance with the righteousness in my heart, and I have never done anything that goes against my conscience."
Rey's reflection nodded.
"Yes, it is precisely because you are right that my mind tells me that no one can replace you, but that is at best just what I think at the moment."
"But what about next time? When you appear in front of me again, can I still convince myself that you are right, rather than just self-righteously right?"
Rei's reflection questioned, and although his words seemed chaotic on the surface, they actually converged into one idea.
That is, the inheritance of the Elf King is ultimately an external object, not the only power that he has realized, and it is even more alienated than the power of the Holy Spirit.
Because the Holy Spirit Puni only gave Rey the power of the Holy Spirit, and the real mastery of the power of the Holy Spirit depends on Rey himself, unlike the inheritance of the Elf King which was forcibly instilled by Glory.
Since accepting the inheritance of the Elf King, Rei's own understanding has disappeared and he has lost the possibility of self-growth.
Rey's reflection is very dissatisfied with Holy Thunder Rey and now has the idea of replacing him, but because they are originally one, Rey's kind nature allows his reason to overcome his dissatisfaction.
There are two reasons for the questioning of Rey's reflection. One is based on reality. With each collision between Holy Thunder Rey and the Disordered Star Soul, Rey's reflection's dissatisfaction with the original body will become stronger and stronger, until it is completely devoured and becomes another Rey.
The second one exists on the spiritual level. The reflection of Rey is scolding Saint Thunder Rey to wake him up, asking him to give up external power and start practicing his own power. Only in this way can he achieve a breakthrough at a higher level, otherwise he will always stagnate at the present moment.
As to whether Saint Thunder Rey did as Rey's reflection said, it is unknown. He obtained the inheritance of the Elf King only in exchange for the power to enforce justice, not for himself.
"When that time comes, the mystery of the God of Thunder will be inherited by you!"
Saint Thunder Lei said fearlessly, "If I fail so many times, then it means that I am really relying on the power of the Elf King and stagnating as you said."
"I'm not the God of Thunder in that way, you are."
"You have no idea what this means."
Rei's reflection said in surprise, that is the price of disappearing along with the soul, but Saint Thunder Rei didn't care at all.
Saint Thunder Lei Yi then said calmly:
"Your concern has convinced me that you are me and I am you."
"We share the same justice in our hearts. Now that this is confirmed, no matter whether this body of Thor belongs to me or not, what Rey is going to do will never change."
"You don't understand. Once it becomes like this, your will will be stifled!"
"If I fear sacrifice, then my will is no different from death."
"But I need to protect you because you are the God of Thunder, the God of Thunder of Helka."
"Thor no longer belongs to Helka alone."
"The war has completely changed you."
"Ever since I left this wilderness, I have been prepared to sacrifice myself."
"Are your companions prepared for your sacrifice?"
"Gaia and the others will understand me. After all, we all..."
"What about her? Is she also ready to watch you sacrifice yourself?"
“No disaster will wait until you have everything ready before it happens.”
"If we can't eradicate them at their root from the outset, they will surely remain dormant in the darkness until one day they form a massive tide that overturns the world. This universe can no longer survive such a catastrophe again."
"Someone once carried our burden, and now we must pass by his torch."
From the fear of sacrificing oneself, to the bond with brothers, the affection with lovers, to the reluctance to leave this world.
Rey's reflection tried to make Holy Thunder Rey back down in every way, but he didn't, and every word he spoke was inspiring and fearless.
Gradually, Rei's reflection was also persuaded.
The next chapter will feature Rei's own form, so stay tuned!
