In the gloomy apocalypse, with howling winds, in this extremely harsh environment that is absolutely unsuitable for any living creature to live in, the magicians built layers of high walls to divert the wind and sand, dug pools to collect water from the air, burned sand and gravel to raise thick flames, and forcibly opened up a temporary camp in the forbidden zone of life.

Vichy and Deda Rose were grilling lamb chops and steaks over a charcoal stove. The fat sizzled over the flames, and a rich aroma mixed with spices wafted through the camp.

Magicians will naturally not treat themselves badly when traveling. In addition to tents and other necessities of life, they will also use space rings to preserve fresh food. Even if they come to a world with nothing, they can still enjoy a relaxing and enjoyable camping life.

Ash was helped out of the tent by Felix, staring blankly at this familiar yet strange world.

It's not that he hasn't seen Senluo falling into its end. He is even one of the few observers who witnessed the collapse of Senluo with his own eyes. Thousands of years of civilization were like dregs being washed into a spiral of silence. Millions of lives were like dirt being washed away. The world was white and clean.

But after returning from a long absence, looking at this lonely and noisy, empty but depressing dark apocalypse, Ash suddenly felt sad. He was not arrogant enough to think that he was responsible for the rise and fall of this civilization. He was not even a Senluo person, but just a passer-by who had lived here for a few months. Besides Black Crow, he had almost no good memories of Senluo... But perhaps it was the survivor's mentality. Looking at this empty world, Ash couldn't help asking himself: Why is an empty person like me qualified to survive? Why do those people deserve to die?

"Did you guys scout around just now? Did you find anything?"

Sonia, Diya, and Weisser were sitting by the fire. Perhaps they had just recovered from serious injuries, as their faces looked a soft pink under the light of the flames.

After hearing Ash's question, they looked at each other and shook their heads. Weisser said, "There's nothing around here... not even ruins can be found. But if I'm not mistaken, this should be the sphere of influence of the Holy Fire Temple."

"The Fire Temple?" Ash felt a little dazed when he heard this long-lost name.

"It's the place where you first came to Senluo," Yin Deng propped up his chin and smiled brightly, "It's also the place where we first met."

"Our first meeting..." Ash sat down and smiled bitterly, "That's not a memory that makes me smile, is it?"

He traveled through Senluo, gained the power of the Eternal Fire, was then knocked down by a punch from Silver Lantern, and was thrown into a cell. The defeat and imprisonment package was completed in one go, and Ash simply felt like he was at home.

"Not to you, but to me, that is one of the few precious memories of me bullying you." Yin Deng crossed her legs and said faintly, "After all, I have no chance to bully you since then. Now, it is only you who bullies me... But who made me owe you since we first met? Being bullied and humiliated by you is like atonement for my sins."

It’s over, even Yin Deng started to act weird.

Ash's face turned red and white, and he lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "Sorry."

"It doesn't matter if you bully me, but others don't feel like I owe you anything." Silver Lamp sat next to Ash, grabbed his hand and clasped his fingers together, and the soft silver light permeated Ash's soul, "Let me see how your soul has recovered."

Sonia glared at Weisser, folded her arms over her chest and snorted, with an unhappy expression that said, "Just spoil him." How could she not see that Yindeng was deliberately giving Ash a way out, and she would immediately follow up as soon as Ash apologized, so that everyone would not continue to dwell on that matter, and raised the board high and gently put it down.

However, Sword Princess did not think that everyone would get entangled, not to mention Vichy. If she wanted to lose her temper, no one would agree. Even Sword Princess would stand on Ash's side - Ash bullying them was just an internal conflict, but Vichy riding on their faces was an enemy conflict. Sword Princess would rather support Ash to humiliate Vichy, and would never allow Vichy to challenge Ash's majesty.

As for the witch, she felt more ashamed than humiliated, and she didn't think Ash was too much. And Sonia herself had convinced herself during the few hours of investigation outside, after all, she knew in her heart that Ash didn't do it on purpose.

But when Ash's eyes swept over her chest, Sonia felt that the bra she had just returned was getting hot. She couldn't help but cover her chest and scratched Ash fiercely.

In the light of the fire, Sword Princess's red face looked delicate and charming.

But only Ash knew that Weisser was not simply helping him to get away with it, because his palm was being pinched hard by Weisser.

Weisser did pamper Ash, but she was also angry. Logically, she should be the one who didn't care, after all, Weisser still had the self-esteem of a ghost prophet in front of Ash, but Weisser was completely obsessed with Ash, and even repeatedly offered to help Ash command the operators, as if she would be happy with everything.

Because she felt that she was unworthy, and that people like her only deserved incomplete love. Even though she had always believed that it was right for her to destroy the world, as her mind gradually awakened from the gods, and she looked at the empty and dark world in front of her, she gradually felt an indescribable huge emptiness in her heart. She knew rationally that she didn't need to be guilty of Senluo's extinction. Without her, Senluo would only fall into a more desperate ending, but emotionally, she felt that her fate was what she deserved.

To Weisser, Ash was not only her lover, but also her salvation, her instrument of torture, and her place of comfort. She was not lying just now, she really felt that as long as she could make Ash happy, she could slightly reduce her sins. And the only thing that would make Ash happy was to have him successfully start a harem, so Weisser kept saying that she didn't care about it.

But it wasn't until it really happened that Weisser realized that she actually meant it.

It wasn't that it was all an illusion. She had just been deceiving herself and lowering her expectations: as long as she could be with Ash, as long as she could be intimate with Ash, as long as she could... She not only deceived herself, but also everyone else. Even Ash felt lost because she was so focused on winning favor.

But if I don't put on a low profile, how can people look down on me? If I don't stand on Ash's side wholeheartedly, how can I shake the throne of Sword Princess?

So when she felt Ash's hand lingering on her body and watched Ash share his love with others, Weisser couldn't help but have the idea of ​​going further: Yes, I am not worthy, but are others worthy? The love of witches is twisted, Weisser is not qualified to participate, and as for Sword Lady, if Ash hadn't comforted her grievances repeatedly, she would have detonated the entire team because of her possessiveness... But the contradiction cannot be suppressed forever, and one day Sword Lady's bomb will shatter them to pieces.

Weisser didn't expect to change Ash's trash-like personality, she just wanted more, much more.

Is a quarter of love enough?

It’s not enough!

Ash naturally didn't know that the people around him were not only angry, but also began to have dark thoughts in their hearts. He was more concerned about another thing at this time: "Then did you see any signs of life? Even if there are no beasts, are there any plants, grass, rivers, swamps, etc.?"

Everyone shook their heads. At this time, Wei Xi came over with food and said casually, "No matter how many years pass, it won't happen. The end of Senluo is not an ordinary world-destroying disaster. Ordinary world-destroying disasters at most destroy the ecosystem. There is still a possibility that life will grow again in the sky and the earth... But Senluo is the dream of the Lord God. Even the foundation of its existence comes from the Lord God's great power. Once it collapses, it will be like a delicate building block being knocked over. Nothing can be restored to its original state."

"There is no sun, moon or stars in the sky here, and there is no life on the earth. One day, all order will return to chaos, and even existence itself will disappear."

"No." Weisser said suddenly.

"Why not?"

"Because of me."

Weisser pointed to a ray of silver light at the other side of the horizon and said calmly, "One day, I will illuminate the entire Senluo, sort out all the chaotic laws, let this land nourish life again, and usher in a new era."

Everyone looked at her quietly. Ash asked in shock: "That means you won't follow us..."

"Although I really want to live in your heart and just be your god." Weisser smiled, "But whether for public or private reasons, I have reasons to continue to be the Silver Lantern of Senluo. Part of the legacy of the Lord of Senluo Zhan is hidden in this incomplete world, so when I repair this world, I can not only inherit the Lord's legacy, but also continue to expand my authority over the laws."

"I have a feeling that the day I completely illuminate Senluo, I will be able to naturally ascend to become a six-winged god."

"Although I won't leave with you, I can always be by your side, and you can still use my power anytime and anywhere." Weisser held Ash's hand tightly: "However, I still hope you can go over and see my true form. Even if you can't take me away yet, I hope you can hug me."

Ash asked, "Have you really decided this?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe when you hug me, I will go into your heart and forget about everything else. I will just want to be with you till death every day." Weisser tilted her head and chuckled, "But who told you not to like Weisser who only wants to please you, but prefer Yindeng who has lofty ambitions?"

"And, while I don't think I was wrong, I do feel like I need to...atone."

Even if I really don't deserve it, I just need to be more worthy than others.

Weisser clearly saw that the depression in Ash's eyes gradually dissipated, and the whole person gradually relaxed. Just like her, Ash also felt guilty about the end of Senluo, but just as she regarded Ash as the salvation of her own destruction, now, Ash also regarded her as the salvation of his inability to do anything.

"Vichy," he said suddenly, "don't you have anything to say to us?"

The maid sprinkled some chili powder on the Tomahawk lamb chops, lifted it up and tore off a bite. While eating, she said, "The lamb chops taste good?"

"I remember," Ash said, "you accelerated the process of Senluo's doomsday and almost killed me and Yindeng."

He actually didn't remember it, but Yin Deng and the others still remembered it.

"Ah, it seems like that's the case, what's wrong?"

"You're not going to apologize?"

"I'm sorry, Master. I was short-sighted and accidentally made myself the enemy of the Master and the Mistress. I deserve to die."

"Don't use such a business tone." Ash stared at her: "I want to hear your true feelings."

Everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in Ash's tone. It was obviously Sen Luo's current situation and Yin Deng's situation that stimulated Ash's soft heart and made him unable to help but bring up the past. Felix pulled Lavish, signaling her to admit defeat quickly. It was not shameful for a maid to admit defeat to her master.

Vichy ate a whole lamb chop, her lips greasy. She bit the meat off the bone and said, "Honestly?"

"To be honest, I just want to apologize for this lamb chop. It wasn't grilled well enough to fully bring out the best of the ingredients." Weishi shook the bone in his hand and raised his eyebrows. "Other than that, I have nothing to apologize for."

She met Ash's gaze in response, "I never apologize for something I didn't do wrong."
