Chapter 206 Choice
Chapter 206 Choice
Hearing Leon's question, the servant showed a long-awaited smile on his face, and he immediately replied:
"Of course there is a way. I can even transport your original body from that blue planet, but the price is that you can never go back!"
There was a temptation in his voice, as if showing Leon a path to new life, but the end of this path was endless loneliness and exile.
Hearing the questions and answers between Leon and the person in front of him, Victor, the young man who once slept in Leon's body, felt unprecedented panic.
His consciousness surged in Leon's mind, like a small animal trapped in the dark, helpless and terrified.
After all, when Victor fell into a deep sleep and was possessed by Leon, he was just a 15 or 16-year-old boy who had made a mistake and was kicked out of his home. His mind and strength could not compete with Leon, who had grown up through countless killing experiences.
Faced with the possibility of being exiled forever, Victor was filled with despair.
Seeing this, Victor immediately shouted:
"No, no! Don't kill me! Please let me go! I can sleep forever and won't bother you anymore!"
His plea for mercy echoed in Leon's mind, revealing a deep fear and helplessness.
Hearing Victor's plea for mercy, Leon subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was unwilling to bear the guilt of taking the life and future of an innocent boy.
After all, the cost of transferring the physical body from Blue Star and never being able to return is too high.
But the servant's next words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring cold water over the two Leons.
"If you don't separate in time, one day in the future one of you will fall into a deep sleep, but as for who it will be, I can only say that anything is possible!"
There was a cold foreboding quality to the servant's words, as if announcing an inescapable fate.
Upon hearing this, Victor, who had just woken up with great difficulty, became unhappy immediately. With his weak mind, he even burst into tears on the spot.
"No! You don't understand how it feels to be alone in this dark world for who knows how many years. Please let me out!"
His crying was full of despair and pleading, which moved people.
Lyon's heart also became complicated at this moment.
He looked at the servant in front of him, and felt Victor crying in his mind, his heart full of contradictions and struggles.
He knew that no matter what choice he made, it would be accompanied by sacrifice and pain.
But as the master of Victor's body, he also has an unshirkable responsibility to protect this once innocent boy.
After a brief silence, Leon finally calmed down, and his voice revealed a firm and well-thought-out decision:
"I have read all of Leon Victor's past memories. Everything he experienced seemed just like what I experienced myself. He is not some unforgivable sinner. He is not even any different from the original me... I am actually reluctant to kill the other me!"
His words were full of sympathy and understanding for the person who had once been the original owner of this body.
"Really? Thank you so much, stranger. I haven't been home for a long time. This is my only wish in the endless abyss. Can you please fulfill my wish?"
Victor's voice was full of desire and gratitude, and his heart was filled with a longing for freedom.
"So you plan to sacrifice yourself? Or become one of the masters of the Arena of the Gods?"
The servant's question went straight to the point, his eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see through Leon's soul.
But when the servant looked at Leon, his expression was confident and unhurried, as if no matter what choice Leon made, it would not be beyond his expectations.
Without waiting for Leon to answer, he continued:
"Lord of the Dragons, your statue will be built within three months. Your dragon Balerion will be with you for a long and long time. You and your dragon will become an invincible legend, waiting for everyone who has seen you in the Arena of the Gods... and returned alive to tell the story of your deeds."
"Even Victor..."
The servant's eyes seemed to be able to see through Leon's mind and see another soul hidden there.
"Ah? Are you talking about me?"
There was a hint of surprise and uncertainty in Victor's voice.
"Yes, maybe when you go back, you will exaggerate this experience like a myth and praise Leon as a new god."
There was a sense of prophecy in the servant's words, as if he had already seen the future.
“Right, right, right.” Victor seemed to understand everything and immediately took over the conversation, saying, “We in the Night’s Watch don’t have any gods yet. When I return, I will definitely place you on the altar and worship you. The entire territory defended by the Night’s Watch, including the Seven Kingdoms, Westeros, and even Essos, will be praised for your fame. I will also remember your contribution, stranger!”
Victor's words were full of enthusiasm and commitment. He seemed to have seen himself returning to his hometown and singing Lyon's deeds to everyone.
Victor's thoughts were shared with Leon, which allowed Leon to feel the true emotion in Victor's words.
Although he knew that there might be some exaggeration in Victor's words, the sincerity of the other 70% was unquestionable.
However, under the servants' gaze and Victor's expectation, Leon's answer was beyond their expectations.
His choice was neither complete sacrifice nor complete possession, but a compromise, full of his unique wisdom and determination.
When Leon stated his choice firmly, the servant, who originally had a contemptuous smile on his face, even froze his expression for a moment.
This sudden change obviously exceeded his expectations.
"It doesn't matter if I return this body to Victor, but that's all. I need to leave my core behind and pass it on to my original body!"
There was a firmness and courage in Leon's words. He was unwilling to give up his power and memory, nor was he willing to completely take over Victor's life.
"What do you mean? You want me to transport your body from Blue Star here? Do you plan to stay here forever?"
There was a hint of doubt and confusion in the servant's voice. He obviously did not expect Leon to make such a choice.
"Yes!" Lyon's answer was concise and powerful, with a look of determination and perseverance in his eyes.
After hearing Leon's choice, the servant was briefly stunned, but still managed a smile and praised him half-heartedly:
"As expected, he is the believer chosen by the Lord of Death..."
There was a kind of grudging admiration in his tone, but it was clear that he didn't really understand Lyon's choice.
