"Clang—" The longsword clashed with Rachel's wolf claws.
However, at that moment a threat of death suddenly arrived, and Connor's heart tightened, only to find that the danger was not Rachel!
"Wait! Oh no!" He stared in horror at the red-eyed zombie on the clock tower.
Kaiomi has completed charging up!
Earthquake! It's here!
He opened his mouth, and with a single roar, the entire Mirror Lake City would be reduced to ashes!
【Elsie!!! !!! !!! ! ...
...
Anonymous asked, what kind of natural disaster does Elsie desire most...?
In reality, she had no choice; natural disasters wouldn't present themselves for her to choose from.
It's like a black box in front of you. You can take out a ball from it, but how should you reach out, and what kind of ball should you take out?
Elsie's consciousness wandered beyond the desolate sky, a series of images in her memory twisted together.
I think you should first learn what natural disasters are.
"Natural disaster, literally."
Do you really understand?
The earthquake in Keomi, the mist of the nameless skeleton, and the unknown nature of the Immortal Dragon King's calamity are unclear, but the Demon King can manipulate magma.
These forces linked to the environment may just be natural disasters!
But... since they are natural disasters, they are things that cannot be influenced or even controlled by humans, and they occur without any pattern!
Before her reincarnation, she had witnessed too many cities destroyed by natural disasters and seen natural disasters affect the outcome of a war—a disaster more terrifying than any weapon.
So now Wuming tells her that this can be controlled by the king, and if it can be controlled, how can it be called a natural disaster?
“Unless…” Elsie guessed.
"I still haven't grasped the path to the Cataclysm because I haven't obtained the Blood Crown. They say I already have the Blood Crown, but I've never actually seen it."
"Or perhaps, I am actually a Blood Crown myself? That would be too fantastical!"
"..."
In the dark space, Elsie stared at the slowly opening door in front of her, the warm light seemingly drawing her in.
[Things are changing too fast here, Elsie! This isn't reality, nor is it a virtual space created by the Nameless One! This is your dream, Elsie!]
[Don't cling to the light! Wake up! Don't forget that Keomi is about to unleash an earthquake, and everything will be destroyed! Elsie! Wake up!]
"Narrator, can I really ascend the throne?"
A tear of blood rolled down Elsie's cheek.
"Only a king can control natural disasters, but I have never had the courage to become a king..."
"Since my reincarnation, although I possess the highest potential and the top bloodlines of two families, I have also attracted a war between the two families."
"I was given high hopes and was also used as a tool to end the war. I could quietly do nothing and everything would be taken care of."
"I don't have to worry about starving to death on the streets in the dead of winter, I don't have to worry about any potential dangers..."
Elsie stopped in her tracks. Before her stood the open door, and beyond it shone a radiant light, with the heavenly kingdom faintly visible above the clouds.
Above the heavens, a group of plain-clad celestial women looked at her with the eyes that looked at insects, but still extended their white hands, seemingly inviting Elsie to enter the heavens.
"I……"
"I think I might not be able to continue down the path of being a mere tool."
Elsie smiled at the pop-up window next to her, a smile tinged with bitterness.
“I have Karin, I have Alto, I have Connor, I feel…”
"I should decide my own path from here on out!"
"No prophecy or psalm can determine my fate."
Elsie turned her back to the light, and the angels who saw this glared at her and drew their silver swords!
"If I hadn't been reincarnated, if I hadn't met you, the narrator..."
Elsie tilted her head and smiled at the pop-up window: "That little girl named Elsie will suffer from goblin torment at a young age."
"You will learn that your parents died together with you."
"It will witness the decline of the family..."
"What if the Blood Crown didn't belong to me, the reincarnated one, but to the previous Elsie?"
"Amidst such suffering, she obtained the Blood Crown. What was the calamity she comprehended?"
[...]
"Is this the ultimate destruction?"
Fortunately, after being reborn, Elsie always numbed herself with fun, and with the narrator's company, she never felt lonely.
Elsie, I... I feel you can't comprehend that power. Believe me, it's a power that made every king regret using it.
“I seem to be…” Elsie opened her eyes, a cloud of silver dust already covering her pupils.
"I've never listened to you..."
[Elsie...Elsie! This time it's for real!!! At least don't aim that power northward!!! Wait!!! The power is too great!!!]
Elsie's body emitted light, and although she opened her mouth wide, she could not utter a sound. Suddenly, an inexplicable wind arose around her, and all the angels that approached were torn apart by the gale!
【Elsie!!! !!! !!! ! ...
...
"Connor! Throw Elsie towards the clock tower! Quickly!" Rolina's voice suddenly rang out.
"What!?" Connor swept Rachel aside with his sword.
The sound of the waves in his hands gave him boundless strength.
He's perfectly capable of fighting Rachel and escorting Elsie to the clock tower, so why throw him away now?!
Connor glanced at Elsie, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. She had stopped convulsing, and black blood mist seeped from her shattered skin!
"Hurry! She's about to wake up!" Jolina's voice was very anxious.
"It's too late! It's too late!"
It was indeed too late... Connor stared at the clock tower, where the red-eyed zombie had already opened its mouth.
But suddenly a cold wind swept through the entire Mirror Lake City! The slight chill made Connor shiver!
Keomi, standing on the clock tower, paused for a moment as he stared at the layers of dark clouds in the sky, which soon obscured the moonlight, and darkness reigned over the entire earth!
...
"Hmm?" Karin, who was at the north gate, had just finished fighting when a drop of water fell into her breastplate.
"Water?" She looked up at the sky and suddenly felt a little dizzy!
Nine layers of clouds had gathered in the sky, and flashes of lightning could be faintly seen within them before the deafening roar of thunder could be heard...
Temperatures across the world began to plummet, and icy rain streamed from people's heads to their feet.
The fierce winds repeatedly pulled the rainwater away from the poorly constructed houses, and the broken bricks and tiles were even carried into the air and spun around!
"My God!" The soldiers stopped cheering, astonished by the downpour. They hunched their shoulders, their eyes bulging.
For some reason, they felt restless and their hearts were beating unusually fast!
One soldier even turned completely red, and then he opened his mouth wide and let out a painful scream!
"Aaaaaaaaahh ...
Amidst shouts, soldiers exploded in the raging wind, their flesh and blood swept into the air!
Inside the academy's protective shield, Xinglan stared in shock at everything, recalling the Eastern Merchant Alliance's nautical records.
The crew members documented this phenomenon...
A storm is coming!!!
