The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 286: Hands of Hope

"Exactly."

Annan replied without hesitation.

Facing the "former savior" who sacrificed everything before him, Annan did not waver at all: "If I were you, and at this time another person appeared who could do better than me and be more capable than me. A strong savior... Then my reaction should be to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Because I no longer need to tie the existence of this world to myself. I no longer need to let others pay the price for my mistakes... Shouldn't this be celebrated?

"I know in my heart that I am not capable enough. At this moment when everyone's fate is decided, and someone stronger than me appears, I will give up my position. Even if I may be unwilling in my heart, it is also pointing to' Why am I so weak?', 'Why can I only achieve this level after working hard for so long'... rather than 'I was the one who came first'."

"But I'm different from you."

Gryaznuha replied without hesitation: "You can accept all this with tolerance, but I can't accept it. What did you sacrifice? You sacrificed nothing, but I sacrificed everything! I must get a response The return——"

"Sacrifice is never the price...it never can be. Sacrifice is just the key, used to open the closed door of destiny at the critical moment.

“But reaching that door requires perseverance; identifying and avoiding the traps on the road requires wisdom; being able to choose the right path at a fork in the road requires luck; and in dangerous moments, moving forward courageously instead of Turning around and returning is courage.

"Sacrifice can only be valuable when all other elements are present. For those who lack other qualities, even if they sacrifice everything, they may not be able to win the final victory."

Annan interrupted him: "Because in this world, there has never been a saying that 'the more people sacrificed, the more justified it is.'"

What's more, I am not without sacrifice...

Annan was silent for a moment.

He thought of Black Annan.

Although now, he has been picked up from the river of forgetfulness by himself.

But in the past, he did not hesitate to sacrifice everything just because "someone could do it better than me." And I am ready to say goodbye to this world forever.

No one forced him.

No one even encourages this... Most of the righteous gods are worried that something might happen, so they don't recommend him to make such a dangerous move. However, Black Annan cautiously made the most rational move - in order to reach a bigger star, he even sacrificed himself.

——So, this is by no means some idle talk about "it doesn't hurt to stand and talk".

It is Annan's "personal experience".

Although Gryaznuha did not know Annan well.

But at his level, he can easily read the thoughts behind the other party directly from simple words.

Therefore, Gryaznuha did not ask back, "How dare you say such a thing?"

He just looked at Annan deeply.

This glance seemed to penetrate directly through the body and see the color of Annan's soul.

"That's it."

Gryaznuha sighed softly: "The depths of your soul are pure light...that's why you were chosen.

"——That's why I was abandoned."

"You were abandoned?"

Annan asked back: "Isn't the extraordinary power you hold now your own? Although you may have endured some suffering, it has also allowed you to step into the gold-level extraordinary person that you could not have originally. Life expectancy is three times longer than normal winter.

"Now Mr. Bones is dead. You can become anyone, go anywhere, and live your own life. As a gold-level transcendent, where can't you enjoy happiness?"

"But I just want to be the Duke of Winter!"

Gryaznuha said without hesitation: "This is my first and last dream!"

As he spoke, he revealed his left hand hidden behind his back.

It is completely different from Gryaznuha's right arm... His left hand is like bright gold, shining with iridescent light under the sun.

A rainbow-colored halo spread like a projection on the wrist of Gryaznuha's golden hand.

The corners of Gryaznuha's mouth moved.

He seemed to want to laugh, but couldn't.

"Even it..."

Gryaznuha whispered: "It also wants to go to you."

"This is——"

Annan's eyes immediately became glued to him.

He felt a strong attraction from it...

His [Heart of Justice], which had turned into fire, also made an illusory pulsing sound at this moment...

It's like communicating silently with "it".

"——Hands of Hope."

Gryaznuha tried his best to maintain his plain expression: "One of the holy bones left in the world.

"In terms of more distant terms, you should call me the Saint of Hope, and I should call you the Saint of Justice. But I think that way of saying it is too awkward."

He showed a self-deprecating wry smile: "I will actually be recognized by [Hope].

"And I haven't done anything yet, [hope] is about to leave me - just like my other hopes have been taken away by you."

Gryaznuha looked at Annan.

"I'm not here to kill you, Annan. You don't have to be nervous... there will be no fight between us."

He sneered: "Because grandma won't agree."

As he spoke, he pointed at his body.

The corners of Gryaznuha's mouth moved, as if they wanted to raise their lips, but in the end they did not smile: "In what form do you think I survived? Why do you think my eyes are dark gold?

"If you still remember Ivan's dragon transformation... you will know that these are the eyes of a dragon. Now I am not even a human being, just a dragon - a scaleless dragon.

"So I was one of the first people to know that the old grandmother was awake. Rather, Melvin didn't know about it because they were confident... If something like this happened, I would definitely report it to the police as soon as possible. They said. Since I didn't say anything, there must be no surprise on the old grandmother's side.

"That's why they show their flaws in front of you - isn't it?"

"But you did try to start a rebellion against me~IndoMTL.com~ and an assassination against Ivan."

Annan corrected.

"What does that count for?"

Gryaznuha asked without shame: "If you can't even decipher this level of conspiracy and can't withstand this level of hostility, how can you have the face to say that you can defeat the worm?

"What we need is a savior, not a baby in the greenhouse. Under the witness of many righteous gods - every conspiracy I made against you has left enough flaws. Rather, there is no conspiracy in this world. Can you hide it from the tragedy writer? Since the righteous gods did not stop me, it means that they have acquiesced that I will give you experience.

"If you can't even overcome this level of difficulty...then you might as well step down and transfer your qualifications as the savior to me!"

The young man with golden hands shouted loudly.
