Chapter 441: The Promiser Who Violated the "Rules"
Chapter 441: The Promiser Who Violated the "Rules"
But after recounting his experiences over the past few days, King Rhodra looked at Morax, who was now a little too silent.
After hesitating for several times, he finally couldn't help but ask: "...What exactly is going on between you and Yuan Zhuoyue?"
The Dragon King Ruota did not want to get to the bottom of other people's privacy, but Yuan Zhuoyue's previous behavior was so abnormally terrifying that it had reached the point where he had to investigate it.
Morax was silent for a moment, as if he didn't want to answer, and finally said, "Because I hid something from her, and was quite arbitrary in my words and deeds, and made some decisions without respecting her wishes. She may have some complaints about this... But don't worry, it's not a big deal."
"It can be seen that she was indeed full of resentment towards you before." Ruotu Dragon King nodded in agreement, but then changed the subject: "But that's not what I want to ask."
Morax, who had just woken up and was still a little exhausted, cast a questioning look at the Dragon King Rudra.
Seeing this, Ruotu Dragon King felt helpless and said tactfully: "Although I don't know what Yuan Zhuoyue's origins are, I can sense that her aura is very similar to yours... I can also sense that your auras are blending..."
And Morax, after hearing the words of Lord Rudra, was truly stunned for a moment.
Morax then belatedly recalled the habits he had retained in the past that had been covered by falsehood.
In the eyes of others, it is not in accordance with the rules.
At that time, only one in ten immortals in Liyue remained, including the Dragon King Ruota, Guizhong, and Marcosius. Although the remaining immortals respected Emperor Yanwang, they were not close to him.
Naturally, no one would be as direct as King Rudraksha and ask him for an answer as he is doing now.
At that time, Yuan Zhuoyue was even more terribly crazy, and her human side was suppressed.
The chaotic, ignorant, cold and cruel side guides her thoughts and serves as the foundation of her words and deeds.
All beings are equal in her eyes, and there is no difference between the myriad creatures. Pure and unbiased "rules" become the only standard of measurement.
Then Yuan Zhuoyue will mercilessly give a brutal massacre to all creatures who disobey her and are unwilling to abide by the "rules" she set.
Morax tried to stop it, but in the end both sides suffered losses.
As for those living creatures that survived, they naturally treated Yuan Zhuoyue with great awe, or even extreme fear.
They fear those invisible "rules", fearing that they might accidentally touch the red line woven by this god.
Under such circumstances, any living creature would naturally keep a distance from her, not daring to approach her casually, a mad god.
It is even more impossible for anyone to understand Yuan Zhuoyue's specific situation and express their doubts to the Dragon King Ruota in person.
Perhaps they have noticed something, but no creature dares to comment on such a god.
Keeping silent and obedient, in such a situation, is the best way to survive under the oppression of death.
Morax now doesn't know how to define the relationship between him and Yuan Zhuoyue. Ever since she completely lost control, the development of everything has been out of Morax's control.
And that overstepping and illogical move was what Morax had to do after he had no other options. It was one of the 'methods' that could quickly calm down the rebellious forces of Yuan Zhuoyue and allow her to temporarily return to normal.
But if such measures were taken now, Morax didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
So after a moment of silence, Morax said: "...It's hard to explain in a few words, but I do have some connection with her."
King Ruotu and Morax had known each other for many years. After hearing this, he did not continue to ask questions, but instead turned to another question: "Then... how do you plan to treat her?"
Morax fell into silence again.
The question raised by King Rudra is indeed a difficult hurdle for Morax today.
Although the situation that was bound to end in death seemed to have been calmed down smoothly due to Ubolos' intervention.
But now Morax has to face a more difficult situation, that is Yuan Zhuoyue who is about to wake up from the illusion he has woven and recall everything in the past.
Moreover, he and Yuan Zhuoyue have been separated for such a long time now. During this period of time, Morax has not closely observed Yuan Zhuoyue's condition.
He also had no way of being sure whether Yuan Zhuoyue had remembered anything now?
Morax can now be sure that the world where Gen Zhuoyue lives, as well as Teyvat, have been temporarily saved from the state of being eroded by [filth] and have been successfully pulled back from the brink of destruction.
But he couldn't confirm whether he could pull the complete Yuan Zhuoyue back from the end.
She longed for life, but kept seeking death, unable to accept the unrecognizable self.
And now the past they have experienced has been completely covered by the uncertain future, and the tragedy in the past that was enough to destroy Yuan Zhuoyue's mind has not left any trace.
But for Yuan Zhuoyue, when she thoroughly recalled the past, it was impossible for her to act as if nothing had happened.
Morax never thought that he would be the anchor that could tie down Yuan Zhuoyue, the lost cruise ship.
Before this, Morax, who had the opportunity to rewrite the past, just wanted a perfect ending.
He wanted Liyue and his friends to be safe in this catastrophe.
Likewise, he didn't want Yuan Zhuoyue to end up like this again.
Morax was almost paranoid. He wanted to get the result he wanted and also wanted to keep Yuan Zhuoyue.
But now all the efforts will be wasted if they are not careful. The most dangerous moment has been passed smoothly, but Morax does not know how to face Yuan Zhuoyue who can recover his past memories at any time.
Morax put all his heart and soul into it, even at the cost of violating the "contract" and "rules" in order to gamble on Ubolos's preference for "Morax".
Will let him go as a traitor who violated the "rules".
Fortunately, he won the bet. Ubolos not only prevented the backlash of the "rules" for him, but also lent his own power to help him stabilize the fragmented world that was on the verge of collapse.
It was finally achieved, and now it seems to be a good ending where you can have the best of both worlds.
