"Indeed, you have lost." Jin Rou clearly said, "However, you have fought well and that's very comndable."
Jin Rou didn't know that his talking to the overlord had turned for a 180 degree. At first, he was mocking and insulting him. But now, it was like he was sympathizing with the enemy. Of course, it didn't an that Jin Rou would spare the other party. His responsibility was more important than any emotions.
"You have beco so strong, Your Majesty." The overlord looked at the sky with countless expressions, "But I think it isn't enough. You're going to face enemies stronger than you in the future, so you need to get stronger as soon as possible."
"You know sothing about the news of the devils?" Jin Rou quietly asked.
"Just a bit. You see, I have so many resources that I don't know how to use it now. So, I'm using it now to gather news and information about the whole universe." The overlord answered truthfully, "And I know that the devils will be trying to take a bite of our place."
"Yes. They are adamant on this plan and I can feel that anyti soon, they will reach this universe." Jin Rou's eyes flashed with a glint of rcilessness and said, "The mont they step foot on my land will be their utter demise, I'll make that sure."
"Of course, if Your Majesty is going to get stronger than this and face them, for sure the victory will certainly be yours." The overlord sighed and said, "Though I won't see your victorious day."
Just a while ago, the two were fighting as if they were enemies that needed to kill each other to satisfy themselves. However right now, they were like two friends talking to each other for the very last ti.
"It's okay. You might not be witnessing my victory towards those beasts, but it's okay. You can go on to your next life without worrying much." Jin Rou smiled and spoke with confidence.
The overlord beca silent for a while before saying, "With dying, the light will regain its advantageous position. The balance will be overturned and it will have detrintal effects."
He was speaking the truth. Everything needed to be balanced, well balanced to maintain a cycle and a life. But now that the overlord was soon to die, an unimaginable steps forward would be made soon and the light would instantly cover the entire universe.
It wasn't a good effect, even though it was the light we were talking about. That's why the overlord said it had detrintal effects. He didn't ntion this while they're fighting because he knew that it was still useless. Jin Rou's agenda wouldn't stop because of this. After all, compared to darkness taking over, over the fact that light taking over, the latter was surely be preferred.
By now, half of the overlord's body was already gone and it was still continuing.
"What is your exact reason for seeking darkness and want to spread it?" Jin Rou asked what he really wanted to ask.
Since ti immorial, the overlord was already alive along with his grandparents. If he chose a different path, he would surely beco a sage, a famous and respectable one at that. With his person and attitude, he was suiting to be called that. However, he chose the darkness, which was an arduous and hard path filled with mockery and hatred from the masses.
The overlord didn't answer imdiately and just looked at the sky. Though he was already dying, it felt like he wasn't feeling it. After a few mont, he finally spoke, "Because I want to prove that darkness has also its own peace."
"..." Jin Rou was confused, so he didn't know what to say.
"Darkness isn't bad, in actuality." The overlord resud and explained what he was trying to say, "It is bad because it is what the teachings told you all, when you speak about it, all ill and bad things would be ntioned. Where in fact, the darkness is the thing that keeps everything in check."
"…" Jin Rou still couldn't get it. He kept on playing the words on his head to comprehend it, but it seed it was useless. The explanation was just simple and shallow, yet he couldn't understand it.
"You don't need to understand everything. After all, even with your strength, you are still just a child." The overlord gave a smile and said, "Enjoy everything you have and get stronger. That's the best you can do for now."
Jin Rou nodded his head. Indeed, they were the best things to do as of the current situation. He needed to be stronger so that he would be more worthy of being the celestial king. Besides that, he would stabilize his position in the celestial realm.
"One more thing, before I go, Your Majesty." The overlord seed to rember sothing and spoke once again, "You need to be wary of the Court Council."
"Hmm?" Jin Rou didn't know why the overlord said this.
The Court Council was the most important force of the Rou Celestial Realm. They held the highest authority that almost on par with the family. They were a bunch of sages who had lived long enough to beco a living fossil, just like this overlord.
"I have tried to gather information and investigate about the Court Council. And I found out that they are planning sothing. I don't know what is it because of the codes they were using that ti but I know that it will not be a good thing for you and your family." The overlord explained. By this ti, he already lost his leg and next his lower part of his face, "My ti is up now, Your Majesty. I have said all the things I want to say, please take care and I wish you all the victories of the eons."
"Shhh..." And after that, the dark overlord had completely turned into ashes and had been carried by the wind.
