Mario's gaze lingered on Toad, a kind of deep and crazy intertwining look that was impossible to look directly at. A sarcastic smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, as if all this absurdity gave him some kind of twisted satisfaction.
"Have you figured it out?" Mario's voice carried a hint of mockery, as if he had already detached himself from this crumbling world. "I haven't figured out any profound truths, Toad. I just finally understand that all of this... is the result of my own choices."
His voice held no remorse, no repentance, only an acceptance of his fate and a mocking helplessness towards reality. "This world, my kingdom, even myself, was destined for this kind of ending from the very beginning." Mario's smile grew wider and wider, but the emptiness and madness behind that smile sent shivers down one's spine.
Toad looked at Mario in bewilderment, while Tom shrank to the side, feeling confused and afraid at this sudden change. They couldn't comprehend Mario's current state of mind, and could only accompany this former hero in the desolation of this doomsday, witnessing his final laughter and breakdown.
As Mario's maniacal laughter gradually faded, the world around him seemed to respond to this final overture. The land before him silently crumbled, like sand gradually dispersing in the wind, gradually disappearing into the empty void. The clouds in the sky suddenly seemed to be wiped away by a giant hand, dissipating without a trace, leaving behind a chaotic sky.
The sun, the eternal source of light in the universe, now appeared unusually pale, as if all its energy and radiance had been absorbed by an invisible force. It weakly hung in the sky, its light growing dimmer, like an old lamp on the verge of extinguishing, foreshadowing the final chapter of this world coming to a close.
The scenes of apocalyptic changes unfolded rapidly and silently. Mario, Toad, and Tom became the last witnesses of this vanishing world. Everything around them disappeared quietly, leaving only a few souls to face this grand and tragic end.
Mario stood alone, his figure appearing particularly solitary in this vanishing world. The light in his eyes gradually dimmed, like the last glimmer of the sun, ultimately to be swallowed by the endless void.
Mario stood in the center of this vanishing world, his laughter echoing far and wide in this hollow universe, like a final proclamation and a challenge to fate. His eyes shimmered with a kind of madness, as if at this moment, he had transcended himself, reaching a distorted self-identity.
"Since fate has already decided everything from the beginning, I will not change no matter what! I am Mario! I am the king of the Mushroom Kingdom!" His voice was filled with pride and madness, and even in the face of the world's collapse, his self-proclamation still rang out loudly.
"I am a despicable person, I am selfish, greedy, lustful, and violent! I won't change any of it!" In this apocalyptic background, Mario's confession is full of irony and challenge. He laughs, laughing so wantonly, as if provoking this world and the invisible hand that controls fate.
Toad witnessed Mario's unchanging persistence and arrogance in this apocalyptic scene, and felt an inexplicable admiration and identification. Even in the face of the world's end, Mario still insists on being himself. This unyielding spirit deeply shocks Toad.
At this final moment, Toad silently re-evaluated the image of Mario, no longer with simple fear or disgust, but with an understanding and pursuit of a true king. He silently said to himself, "This is the king I pursue!" Even on the brink of the world's collapse, Mario's absolute self and unyielding spirit made Toad feel a kind of unprecedented respect.
Even in despair, Mario's image is elevated in Toad's heart, becoming a symbol of pursuit and longing. In this vanishing world, Toad found his own faith and direction, which is to follow a king who does not give up or change himself even at the end of the world.
In the hollow of that doomsday, Mario's laughter echoed through the desolate land like a cold wind, reverberating in every corner of this crumbling world. He turned to the two beings who had remained faithfully by his side until now, Toad and Tom, his eyes filled with complex emotions - was it mockery, despair, or acceptance of this absurd conclusion? "Heavens! Of all the ones left with me until the end... it turns out to be these two useless... Heavens have forsaken me! Hahaha!" Mario's voice reverberated in the empty space, each word seemingly mocking his own fate.
Toad and Tom, facing this once all-powerful king, were filled with complex emotions. Toad's eyes revealed unprecedented regret and self-blame, deeply aware of his insignificance in the eyes of this ruler, yet unable to suppress the desire for recognition. "I'm sorry, my lord, I have not lived up to your expectations!" His voice sounded particularly weak in this ending world, yet filled with sincere repentance.
And such a scene seemed to become the final landscape of this crumbling world. Mario's laughter, Toad's repentance, and Tom's silence, together weave the final chapter of this doomsday drama. In this last moment, whether it is the high and mighty ruler or those once obscure characters, they are all forced to face the same fate - everything will return to nothingness.
In this desolate doomsday, every laughter of Mario is like a heavy hammer, hitting Toad and Tom's hearts, making them deeply feel the coldness and ruthlessness of the end of the world. But even so, in such a desperate moment, they still chose to stand by this mad king until the last moment of the world.
