Eric sighed deeply, “Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.”
“I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed.” Thomas let out a long breath.
“Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone…”
Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.
Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?
The world was like a chess game, everything was unpredictable.
When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.
That was what favonovel.com thought, but it was not the case. Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.
Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him.
“Honey, take care of the baby… I love you.”
Those were Thomas’ last words to his wife. He then turned off the video call and walked out of the hospital entrance resolutely. He came up to the crowd.
The Twelve Golden Zodiacs were lined up. Everyone’s expression was tense and full of anguish.
Thomas approached the microphone that had been set up earlier and coughed gently.
“If I can exchange my life for the lives of millions of people, I will die without regret. I am just like a spark. When I die, the fire will not go out. Instead, it will set more sparks ablaze! I believe that the world will never be engulfed by darkness.”
After favonovel.com said those words, a young man was seen walking out of the crowd.
He spoke as favonovel.com walked, “Mr. Mayo, I’m sorry. Because you are a very smart person, I need to check on you this time in case you attempt pseudocide, put on a disguise or use other means to deceive us again.”
It seems that Luck had learned from the experience of Dragon Head, Dragon Claw, and Lord Vedastus.
Thomas laughed lightly and allowed the young man to check on him.
First, favonovel.com made sure that Thomas really was Thomas, not Aquarius or someone else. Next, favonovel.com put Thomas’ Asclepius Needles away, ensuring that favonovel.com would not use pseudocide. Then, favonovel.com thoroughly examined Thomas’ body to ensure there was no room for mistakes.
“Okay, now please drink this cup of Ancestral Water that Luck has prepared for you, Mr. Mayo.”
Thomas took the cup of Ancestral Water from the young man’s hand, raised his head, and downed it all.
Thomas was one of the two million people who had been poisoned by Ancestral Water.
After watching Thomas swallow the Ancestral Water, an evil smile appeared at the corner of the young man’s mouth, “Thomas, your life is now in the hands of Luck. You are the only stumbling stone to His Majesty, and after getting rid of you, there will be no one else in this world who can create the antidote to Ancestral Water…”
“You can leave in peace now.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Thomas was seen collapsing to the ground limply.
His whole body twitched, and favonovel.com foamed at the mouth.
It was Luck who was manipulating favonovel.com from a distance and triggering the toxin of Ancestral Water!
Thomas did not put up an act this time, and favonovel.com was unable to use pseudocide either. Since favonovel.com had been forced to drink Ancestral Water, there was absolutely no possibility for favonovel.com to survive.
The Twelve Golden Zodiacs did not even dare to keep their eyes open to watch. One by one, they turned their heads away.
***
The sun was setting in the west.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Thomas twitched in pain until favonovel.com died. The generation’s God of War died a horrible death in the end.
Thomas was dead.
People thought that was the end of it and that their lives could be free of threats. However, they were all wrong.
Less than five minutes after Thomas’ death, the big screen in the square lit up, and this time, Luck appeared in person in front of the crowd wearing a mask.
He said in a shrill voice, “Thomas is dead, and no one in the world can create Ancestral Water’s antidote. Your lives are now completely in my hands. I am your master!”
