"This is really beyond my expectation, Loran Hill." Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her lavender eyes looked at this newly born junior. Everything that happened to him was like a miracle, which directly disrupted her arrangements of nearly a thousand years.
"I'm also curious, Senior Selene. You should have come into contact with the Moon Crown a long time ago, why have you been standing behind the scenes, watching everything happen?" Loran Hill raised his hand slightly, and golden glazed swords appeared in the hands of many angels, helping them fight against the unruly and ferocious Dragon of Destruction.
As the holder of the Moon Crown, Selene couldn't be unaware of the Lurna faction's plans, and she should also know the buried truths. Why has she refused to show up?
"I naturally have my reasons for choosing this." Selene closed her eyes slightly, then opened them.
"As the successor to the Moon Crown, I do not disagree with the Sun's ideas."
"Even if this is the solution to all problems?" Loran Hill looked at Selene.
"Yes."
"But waiting will not produce any results. Tens of thousands of years have passed since the last war. During this long time, the Moon still hasn't come up with a feasible solution." Loran Hill spoke about the aftermath of the battle between the Sun and the Moon. After the death of the crown holders of both sides, the two sides finally negotiated peace, and from then on began to implement the Moon's conjecture.
But unfortunately, after thousands and tens of thousands of years, the earth has not changed.
"It's just that the previous holders of the Moon Crown were not cruel enough." Selene said so. As she finished her words, silver vines emerged from the void around the Sun Crown, then penetrated and attached themselves to it, corroding the inside of the crown.
Transparent flames rose from the crown of the king's crown, burning those strange vines. Then the halo expanded and directly smashed the silver vines, destroying them.
"It's really sad that the once powerful Sun Crown has become so weak. Even so, you still want to carry out that plan? You should know what that means. The crown will explode, and your body and soul will disappear from the world and cease to exist." Selene's face finally showed some other expressions, which seemed to be a lack of understanding of the girl's behavior.
"Maybe." Loran Hill shook her head slightly. She didn't know what would happen to her in the end. Would she disappear forever, or would she wake up again after sleeping for countless hours like before?
"In that case, I have no choice but to shoot you down! You weak and newborn sun." A glimmer of light flashed in Selene's eyes, and then she spread her hands. Moons of different shapes floated around her, then grew bigger and bigger and slowly rose.
The space seemed to be rippled, stirred by the rotating moon. Everything in sight began to distort, shatter, and become bizarre.
Looking at the six moons, Loran Hill's eyes narrowed and his expression became increasingly serious.
"Did Dorothy and the others also die because of your plan..." The six moons are naturally composed of six powers related to time and space, which are also the powers under the crown of the moon.
This explains why things started to become strange in the later period of Oz and began to slip away from Dorothy's control, why the Backlighter knew so much of the truth, why the Lurna faction was so confident in their choice, and why the powers of the two black and white witches disappeared after their death.
Unlike the original angel Loranthil, Selene could not actually bear the pure Moon Crown alone, but as a compromise, she relied on the powers of the other six witches related to time and space to share the pressure, which enabled her to manipulate the Moon Crown.
Perhaps she learned the truth of the ancient times from many ruins and dust very early on, and thus embarked on the path of following the crown, traveling to various ruins in outer space, and her connection with the world of Ivar became weaker and weaker, and she was slowly forgotten.
The biggest obstacle for humans on this planet today to access the knowledge of the Twilight Age isn't language, but how to decipher those ancient storage devices. Without the aid of systems and computers, how can we translate the knowledge and truths within?
Even a genius like Dorothy could only figure out some general ideas through her own research and reverse reasoning, but she was unable to get a glimpse of the full picture, which led to her going astray in the end.
But Selene is different. She is a witch who controls the concept of memory. Even without the assistance of a system, she can interpret the information and memory fragments stored in those ancient devices.
It was under such information asymmetry that her many plans were realized one by one.
"What kind of future do you want to achieve, Selene?"
Although the two sides have already started fighting, with angels and dragons tearing each other apart in space, Loranthil still wants to know what kind of wishes and ideals Selene holds.
"Of course, that means future humans, or perhaps intelligent life, can adapt to the twisted and chaotic Aegean Sea and survive even if the cosmic tides rise again."
"Why do we have to enter the Sea of Aijaka? Although the growth is slow in reality, it will be more stable." Loran Hill expressed his inner doubts.
"Oh, such an innocent and kind-hearted young man." Selene shook her head.
"All living things seek benefits and avoid harm. If the benefits of entering the Sea of Aegeka are hundreds of times greater than reality, then no matter how much you forbid it, people will try and take the risk. Even if humans don't go, perhaps other alien races will."
"Because it's there, if you don't go, others will, and eventually you'll have to follow, because falling behind means being eliminated and dying."
"You can call it greed or desire, but it's truly the vitality of life. It will continue to extend in beneficial directions."
"And the final result is a recurrence of the previous disaster."
"So, I hope that a brand new race or life form will be born."
"Even if such an experiment would lead to the extinction of billions of lives?"
"So what? Individual lives will eventually die. I just let them reach the end early." As a witch who has lived for thousands of years, Selene has become indifferent to the concept of life. It is just a fleeting number.
"But, can something born from such distortion still be called human, or the continuation of our civilization?"
"Or maybe, just a new monster has appeared." Loran Hill lowered his eyes, and scorching fireworks rose from the crown of the sun, gradually clearing away everything around it.
"I'm sorry, but I still can't forgive Selene-senpai for being like this."
A star rises from the crown.

ps: I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote again, but I always felt that it could not reach the perfect 00 in my mind, but the time is almost up, so I won’t worry about it. Later, I will write a few chapters of extra stories at the end of the volume to fill in the unfinished content, such as the other four originals and the entanglement between the previous generation of the sun and the moon.
