Chapter 3034: The birth of man

"Brother Gnostic, I will ask you one last time...Are you really reluctant to go with me?"
Metatron looked at Qiao Ann unwillingly, eyes full of tears.
Qiao An took a deep breath, forced himself to overcome his soft impulse, and shook his head solemnly.
"I still have unfinished missions in Valais Tianyu, at least I can't leave for now."
"I really don't understand, what else is more important than life saving?!" Metatron interrupted his words excitedly, "Brother Gnostic, the great Noah was unfortunately murdered by the Gisyanki pirates. I have already Too many compatriots have been lost, and among all compatriots... the last thing I want to lose is you, dear..."
"Don't worry, the Githyankees can't hurt me." Joanne tried to calm her down, but it was useless.
"Even if you are not afraid of those despicable pirates, don't forget, there is an adamantine colossus outside the window. No one knows how terrible the monster is better than I. The Whispering Ball is not its opponent! You were there when the Beholder Clan attacked, and our city was almost flattened by that giant statue. Don't you still have nothing to do with it?!"
Qiao An listened to her, and finally told the truth after hesitating.
"Don't be afraid, that is my colossus."
"Your colossus?" Metatron's eyes widened in surprise, his face was filled with disbelief, "But I clearly remember that Mitra used it to attack Oedis...
"I am Mitra."
"What nonsense are you talking about, Brother Gnostic! You must be ill and your brain burnt!"
Moist and cool hands, caress the young mage's forehead.
Qiao An held her hand and looked straight into her eyes.
"Master Metatron, I'm sorry to keep hiding from you. I am Gnostic and Mitra, but I am not a real Gnostic or Mitra...Actually, my true identity is human."
With that, he lifted his transformation and restored his human form.
It is too cumbersome to elaborate, Qiao An simply packs the causes and consequences of his impostor infiltrating Oedis into a chain of information, and directly enters Metatron's mind in a telepathic way.
After reading the spiritual message from Qiao An, the princess Ling Su was stunned. For a while, she was still a little unacceptable, but she had to face the reality.
After a while, she reluctantly calmed down, still holding the hand of the human mage opposite, sincerely said to him: "Dear Brother Gnostic, I don't care about your true identity or what you have done. It doesn’t matter if you were a human or any other species. As long as you decide to become a real heart-saver from now on, you are determined to put aside everything in the past, put aside this world that is about to be destroyed, and accompany me to the beautiful and beautiful opposite of the star gate. A safe new world, I have nothing more to ask for! Please believe me, my dear, a happy life is waiting for us across the star gate!"
"I'm sorry, Metatron, I can't accompany you through the second half of this journey."
Qiao An endured the tearing pain in her heart and broke free of her hand.
"In your eyes, this world that is about to face the doomsday catastrophe is not worthy of nostalgia, but this is the place where I was born and grew up, and here are my relatives, friends and teachers that I can't give up."
"Just as children are obliged to protect their mothers, I am also responsible for the safety of this world. No matter how beautiful the world opposite the star gate is, it cannot replace my hometown."
"You persuaded me to give up my identity as a human being and become a true heart-catcher. Unfortunately, I cannot persuade myself to accept such a change."
Just as Qiao Ann refused to be a real beholder and refused to take over the crown of Udinese from Ishtar as Mitra, now he also refuses Metatron and abandons mankind for the same reason. The status of becoming a member of the Demon.
"After sending you away from Valais Tianyu safely, I will return to human society and continue to spend the rest of my life as a human being. I will try to use my own hands to change the suffering and disasters of the world, and prevent the coming. The winter catastrophe, even if I fail in the end, at least I will die without regret."
Human beings, beholders, and heart-catchers, among the three, Qiao An finally chose the most vulnerable human being no matter where he was judged. Metatron is really incomprehensible. Isn't this choice obviously stupid? ?
"Why do you insist on your identity as a human being, is it because you were born in this world as a human being?"
"If the moment of birth determines the fate of this life, what freedom is there in such a life?"
Metatron's sharp questioning made Qiao An's heart slightly sting. In fact, this is the question he has been pursuing for years. Now, he finally has the confidence to answer positively.
"Yes, just as you were born as a demon, and I was born as a human being, we cannot define in what identity we were born, but we can decide in what identity to complete our life."
"If I don't understand the mind-severs at all, and refuse to change just because I am a human being, and refuse to accept your invitation, it is undoubtedly a kind of arrogance based on ignorance."
"However, it is precisely because I have lived in Oedis, I have also made friends like you, and have an in-depth understanding of the social, cultural and spiritual world of the Devil. The difficult choices made on this basis are valuable."
"Looking back at the beginning of life, you and I were all unconsciously fertilized eggs that were forcibly laid. We can't decide our own birth, but we can decide whether we want to be a human being and what kind of person we should be."
"In this sense, people are not born of their parents, let alone created by gods. Instead, they paint a complete image of themselves through countless choices made in this life."
Why bother asking where is the Creator?
You are your own creator!
This is how mankind created mankind itself.
Thinking of this truth, Qiao An felt more relaxed than ever.
It seems that until this moment, as a human being, he is completely separated from the mother body and truly born in the world.
Metatron listened to him quietly, the grief and anger in his eyes gradually faded into a kind of almost compassionate tenderness, no longer said anything, hugged and kissed with him for the last time, turned back to the pilot seat of the spacecraft, and focused on manipulating the steering wheel. , Drove this heavily damaged and possibly disintegrated shell ship towards the star gate.
Qiao An left "Ark V" alone, suspended under the silver-gray starry sky that seemed to be condensed with countless teardrops, watching Metatron's spacecraft rush into the star gate, and finally disappeared in the splendid light leading to the new world.
