Because she knew that Yixing couldn't stay.
She saw with her own eyes that Yixing ran back.
She gripped the protective gear tightly in her hands, her breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
She has always been protected by others.
Because she didn't know magic, she could only stand behind them, watching them rush forward to fight off the enemy and protect her, who could only stay in one place and was weak.
She looked up helplessly at the sky, unwilling even to run away.
What should she do?
She didn't want Yixing to be killed by the alien beast.
But she couldn't do anything.
She looked up and saw Mi Ai holding a long spear, standing still, waiting for the other side to attack.
The other party seemed to be a higher-ranking deity who looked down on Mi Ai, a person from a humble background who dared to try and provoke them.
He spoke very rudely: "Trash, go back home!"
Mi Ai slung the spear over her shoulder, a smirk playing on her lips, her smile roguish and brash, speaking even more arrogantly than him: "I, from Tianyu, will beat you to a pulp today."
"Wow, that's amazing..." You Ning's eyes grew increasingly empty and blank.
She wouldn't dare say such a thing, because she couldn't do it.
But……
She longed to stand at the front, to face the enemy, and to stand up for her family...
She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, if there really were gods...
Could you grant her wish once again?
She wanted to become stronger, very strong, so that she could protect the most important person to her.
She suddenly heard mocking laughter coming from the sky:
"You little god, how dare you talk big? Look closely! I am a god far more powerful than you! Your world is truly ill-mannered; don't you know you should flatter a more powerful god?"
The girl's voice carried a disdainful tone: "Hmph. We in the Heavenly Revelation Realm rely on ourselves more than on gods! We don't care about your sophistry and empty formalities. High-ranking gods don't receive any special treatment from us."
Young Ning's memories were stirred.
She suddenly remembered what her sister had once told her about something their father had said—
"We prayed for the gods to come, but unfortunately, the gods did not come for us."
"We successfully turned the tables."
If the gods cannot come for her.
Could she have come for herself?
She suddenly felt an endless stream of ice magic swirling within her body, just like in the hospital, icy and cool.
She tried to grasp that power.
The sudden appearance of magic sharpened her senses and enhanced her hearing; she heard the roars of strange beasts, the whispers of Yixing magic, and cries for help—
She heard her own voice struggling upwards, trying to leap out of the swamp—
Only I can protect myself.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her long pink hair instantly turning snow-white, her beautiful eyes flashing with a soft light like snowflakes, and the icy blue magic made her appear as cold and beautiful as a star.
The cold air spread out like waves, creating ripples.
A translucent ice sword was formed in her hand.
The sky was now projecting the image of Mi Ai raising her spear and pointing it at the enemy.
Holding the ice sword, You Ning slowly opened her eyes. The power of ice suddenly exploded, freezing everything around her. She precisely bypassed the crowd and headed straight for the horde of alien beasts.
You Ning looked up at the extremely arrogant beast that treated humans as livestock to be eaten, her eyes filled with a cold indifference as hard as ice.
"In Revelation Online, we humans rely solely on ourselves."
Gods—
If you are unwilling to come and save us.
We are determined to save ourselves.
We came for ourselves.
Her steps were light and fast, and the convoluted magic spells were generated in the blink of an eye.
Hundreds of attempts and past failures have become solid stepping stones for her today. She will step on these stepping stones to surpass her past self who stubbornly insisted on her talent.
She drew her sword and rose into the air, her ice arrows, as dazzling as shooting stars, poised to strike the ugly, unbearable beast that bullied others with its size.
Like a shooting star, an ice arrow pierced their hearts; like a butterfly, the graceful young lemon sliced off their heads with her sword.
Just like another person in the Sky Curtain, who used his own spear to defeat the arrogant man who looked down on the Revelation Online because he was born a god and had a high starting point.
Those who realized they had been rescued sang praises of You Ning's strength, cheered her righteous act, and willingly shouted, "Hero!"
Today, they have all become their own heroes.
He became a hero of Revelation Online.
Upon seeing her use magic, Yixing, disregarding his own painful wound, rushed over and hugged Youning, overjoyed.
"Great! Ningning! I knew you could do magic!"
"I told you I was right!!"
You Ning: "Yes, you're right."
"Huh?" Yixing froze, then burst into a sharp scream, "Ningning! You can smile! You're smiling! Our Ningning's smile is the most beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, You Ning couldn't help but touch the corner of her mouth, and to her surprise, she found that she was actually smiling.
Has she also found her way to the end on this path of self-salvation?
It must be.
It must be.
She thought, yes.
"Let's go home and celebrate! I'll treat you to a big meal today!"
"Are you alright?"
"It's alright!"
"Then... I don't want a fancy meal. Buy me my favorite milk tea and my favorite dessert. I want to go to a higher place to see the sky."
"Oh? The line at your favorite dessert shop is so long... Oh well, what can we do? Our little Ning is the hero today! A little hero deserves the best!"
"Let's go buy cake and milk tea, then go home to the rooftop to watch the sky!"
"Um!"
Just as they passed the monster's corpse, You Ning saw the boy who had fallen to the ground in fright earlier, and he was still not up.
She was wondering whether she should go over and help her up.
She saw that someone had already gone over to help him up:
"Wang Yaohui, why aren't you up yet? Are you scared out of your wits by that monster?"
"No, I just twisted my ankle and can't get up!"
You Ning couldn't help but look up at the sky. At that moment, the referee was declaring Mi Ai the winner.
She thought.
Girls can certainly be heroes.
From this day forward, in a world where gods reign supreme, she no longer needs to pray to them.
*Random thoughts.
You Ning's emotions were complex. She prayed to the gods three times, and the first two wishes were granted by chance. Only in the last prayer did she realize that she had always been seeking external forces, not internal ones, which was why her magic would disappear. Yi Xing's prayer was because she was asking herself to save Yi Xing, which was a prayer for her inner self.
But because he didn't fully believe in himself, it was only temporary.
May all little ones be their own heroes. ヽ(??ω?? )ゝ
