Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

Levi took a deep breath and finally understood the problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

Why is there a girl who looks almost exactly like Theresia, always existing in this place that I can sometimes enter, but sometimes find it difficult to enter?

Because, this place is exactly the corner of my mind that I don’t want to face. As a memory girl, I hide myself in this corner that has brought me endless painful memories. While relieving my emotional pain, I am waiting for myself. One day I will discover this place.

At that moment, that's when he truly faced the fact that he couldn't bear to look back on the past.

【Now that things have happened, I don’t know whether I should be surprised or not.——】

I don't know how long the silence lasted, it seemed like a century, before Levi slowly said: [Or should I say...surprise?】

【For me, this is indeed a surprise. ]

Terry sighed, but with a faint smile on her face: [After all, in the original plan,"I" should only be a memory without emotions, and should not inherit Theresia's personality along with it. That's right】

【Wait, that……】

Levi seemed to remember something, and suddenly his eyes widened: [The previous"Demon King" was also for this reason?……】

Rarely, Terry's eyes showed a hint of sadness, and then she shook her head.

【Levi, have you heard of"Gaya Magala"? ]

Instead of answering Levi's question directly, the girl asked a question that seemed to have nothing to do with the topic.

【In my impression, it seems to be a monster that only exists in legends, right?】

【In fact, that is false. Gyamagala, like Wendigo, is an ancient blood inheritance of Sakaz, and may even be older than Wendigo. ]

Faced with Levi's astonishment, Terry said: [Legend has it that the first emperor of Kazdere possessed the power of Gyama Gala, because when this bloodline is awakened, it is enough to make the holder of the bloodline... Riding as many as a thousand, one man can defeat an army】

【……However, it is also dangerous. When Gyama Gala awakens, it will also drive the owners of the bloodline into madness, turning them into berserkers, frantically attacking all enemies within sight until they die.……】

Terry paused and concluded: [So, the bloodline of Gyama Gala died out hundreds of years ago. It has always been only used as a secret of the Kazdaele royal family, and various kinds of secrets have also appeared among the people. Such a legend】

【I always thought...this was just a legend】

【No, that's not right. 】Levi’s face was a little ugly: 【My parents are ordinary Sakaz people, how could I——】

【The bloodline of Gyama Gala does not rely on reproduction. ]

Terry's expression was serious: [In the history that cannot be traced, the appearance of Gyamagala often comes without warning, but their most notable feature is that their bodies contain a strange trace element that transforms cells. Expelling active molecular groups and transforming the internal environment of oneself and other biological organisms - this is also the source of the power and craziness of Gyamagala】

【Because of this, Gyamagala is also known as the end of civilization and the embodiment of divine punishment and disaster.】

【And Levi...your blood contains a lot of these trace elements. ]

Terry's voice deepened: [Do you remember that time in Chernobog? In four years, that was the only time I was helpless...but you finally survived and returned to your original state of sobriety.】

【You... are the last Gyama Gala, and you are the only Gyama Gala who still remains sane after awakening... and is still alive. 】

Levi's body stiffened, and the words"Theresia" seemed to be echoing in his ears.

(For this reason, Gyamagala is also known as the terminator of civilization and the embodiment of divine punishment and disaster——)

Yes, he remembered it.

The bloodline of the curse, the end of madness, Chernobog's Originium crystal clusters and the integration movement pierced through it, there is still no death, as if everyone is looking at me, and I have not lost consciousness, During that crazy time, during the massacre -

I always maintained a clear consciousness.

【No! No! That's not what you said! You lied to me! You lied to me!! ]

Roaring and screaming, Levi roared as if to vent his anger.

(Why? Why is this! Why is it me?)

Gradually, these faces overlapped with the unwilling, sad, and angry faces in my memory.

——monster!

(No, no, I’m not a monster! Not a monster!)

——leave me alone! Infected!

(I...Okay, I'm going! I'm going!!)

——don't want! Why did he come! Every time he comes, natural disasters will follow!

(I obviously... just want to tell you……）

——If you had come earlier, he wouldn't have died! Give me my son back, you murderer!

(Forgive me, forgive me... don't keep blaming me……）

【I'm not a murderer! Not a monster! asshole! Get out of my head! Get out of here!! Don't look at me like that!! What do you know! What do you know!! 】

Theresia watched in horror as Levi rolled around on the ground violently, then tore his hair, roared and cried, and kept banging his head against the floor - she rushed forward and hugged Lei tightly. Wei, don't let him do more harm to himself.

She had no way of knowing why Levi lost control of his emotions, but no one understood Levi better than her.

As a symbiotic memory in Levi's body, she has been another"soul" in his body since birth, experiencing the joys, sorrows and joys of Levi in ​​the past four years.

She knew very well that although he was fine on the outside, Levi's heart was always separated from the real world by a thick layer, and the sadness and despair in the real world constantly added to his fragile spirit. The scars of Tao.

For a long time, the pain, confusion and guilt in his heart have made Levi live in confusion. He suppressed these in a corner deep in his heart, kept accumulating and suppressing them, but wore a mask and lived as if nothing was wrong.

But today, my own words ruthlessly took off the last layer of Levi's mask...

It was as if he had stepped back from a cliff, only to find that there was another abyss behind him.

【Cough cough cough cough... No!——】

The continuous roars made Levi's chest roll with turbid air, which eventually turned into coughing and choking. He tried to stand up, but fell down again.

Terry held him in her arms and rubbed his back gently until his breathing calmed down

【I...I'm not...not a monster……】

Levi trembled and leaned against her chest, his lips moved, and he made a sleepy sound. His dull eyes stared at her face, as if he wanted to convince her, or just wanted to get some comfort from her.

Theresia understands that Levi is still immersed in the past where he watched Theresia die and could not do anything. He still feels that it is his fault - this guilt has turned into a heavy shackles , wrapping him tightly.

But it's not his fault - it shouldn't be his fault!

Suddenly, a strong tenderness filled Terry's mental body, and she once again hugged Levi with her body.

【Of course you are not a monster, you are Regulus Harvey. He is the legendary messenger of natural disasters, the fighting hero of Kazdaele, and"my" hero.】

【Levi, maybe the world is not friendly to you, or maybe you are also full of disappointment in the world.】

【But you are still alive... alive with my past and my memory. Because of my selfishness, you have to bear the accusation of innocence, and you have to live with a guilt that does not belong to you. ]

Holding Levi gently in her arms, Theresia said softly: [Please forgive me - more importantly, you have to forgive yourself.……】

【To put it another way, even if you really failed to save Theresia, you gave me a future so that I can continue to live as"Theresia". Isn't that enough?】

【I am not the real Theresia, but here, in the depths of your memory and thinking - I can be the"Theresia" that belongs only to you, okay?……】

The following words became lower and lower, and the murmuring in his ears cut off the last tense string in Levi's mind. The rushing magma suddenly exploded. As the last trace of reason in the Sakaz man was wiped out, he rushed forward ferociously....
