At 7:45 p.m., the blood moon tonight was also very bright, but with the lighting decorations on the Central Avenue of World Cinema, the blood-stained night could only serve as a dreamy background for the float parade.
Ordinary passengers could only watch from behind the isolation fence of the rope concierge pole. As the highest-level VIPs, Ash and his friends could enjoy the scenery below while drinking on the second floor of the roadside castle.
Ash was drinking juice when he suddenly touched Sonia's elbow: "Look, that puffy cat looks like my girlfriend!"
Sonia looked over and saw a gray cat sitting on the float with its arms crossed, its eyes wide open and an unhappy look on its face, its tail wagging back and forth, looking very cute with its puffed-up look.
She was both angry and amused, twisting Ash's ear and asking, "Which girlfriend of yours does she look like?"
"The cutest one!"
"Hmph." She rolled her eyes at Ash, leaned against the sculpture railing, and gently shook the wine glass. The bright and sweet red wine formed a sharp contrast with her snow-white wedding dress, adding a touch of sexiness to her flawless holiness.
"I knew I shouldn't have said it so early," Ash said with his chin propped up and smiled, "You couldn't have fun the whole day, you kept your head down and thought hard about how to practice... I could have been carefree while visiting World Cinema, but seeing that you were not in the mood, I had to visit World Cinema nervously too."
"Blame me?" Sonia crossed her arms, turned her head and said angrily, "So it seems that I am wrong. It seems that I don't understand romance and am becoming inferior to your other lovers."
Ash looked at the gray cat below and then at her, almost laughing out loud, and put his arms around her waist and said, "Can you stop being so cute?"
"No, I'm the cutest." Sonia snorted, "Besides, I don't spend the whole day thinking about how to deal with Fanxing... I'm also a beautiful girl who likes to enjoy life. My dream before was to become an upper-class noble. I'm not a workaholic or a magic fanatic!"
"Yes, yes, so what have you been thinking about all day?"
"I can't tell you now." Sonia glanced at him, the corners of her mouth tilted upward, and her skin turned a warm pink: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
"By the way," Ash glanced at the witch, silver lantern, maid, Freya and others beside Sword Princess, and said casually: "When I'm not here, this team will rely on your leadership and command."
"You're not here?"
"I think the final battle will be divided into two battlefields. I will be responsible for dealing with Fanxing, and you will be responsible for eliminating Fanxing's followers," Ash said, "In fact, I will not interfere with your specific tactical arrangements. I will only be responsible for making important decisions. You have always been the leader of the team, right?"
“No!”
Diya appeared between Ash and Sonia, her face flushed with anger as she said, "I am the one in charge! Sword Princess rushed in and killed several times as soon as the fight started. She is good at charging, but she has no chance of commanding!"
"It was me who was monitoring the entire scene and supporting all parties, but Ash, you only saw Sword Girl!"
Sonia looked embarrassed. In the previous two team battles, she did start with Blood Moon and Shattered Lake, followed by Heaven Collapse and Earth Shattering. In the fight, she could at most cooperate with her teammates, and her contribution in command was almost zero.
"By the way, I'm responsible for assisting in the analysis." Weisser came over and hugged Ash from behind. "After all, my actual combat power is far inferior to your demigods, but the power of the Silver Lantern Spirit is vague. I can imitate all the miracles I know. Whether it's attacking, defending, or reconnaissance and movement, I can help. I can find the enemy's weaknesses through various means."
Vichy walked to Ash's side, leaned against the guardrail and drank the liquor, and said drunkenly: "At present, I specialize in soul control. Anyway, I can't escape from your palm for a while, and the team has enough casualties. The world's secret area "Sky Garden" is also very suitable for the soul control route... Even if it is the highest star, I have the confidence to make her reveal a flaw for a moment."
"As expected of my brides, each of you possesses unique skills." Ash said with a smile, "So when you and I are on different battlefields, who will you follow as the main axis?"
Sonia felt a little guilty. After all, she was indeed the warrior who charged at the front, and the others seemed more suitable to be the main axis than her... But Diya and the other two looked at each other and looked at her together.
"Sword Princess is better." The witch went over and took Sword Princess's hand. "Once an unexpected emergency occurs, I will get nervous, but Sword Princess never seems to get nervous. The more dangerous the situation, the more powerful she becomes."
"I agree with Sonia, too." Weisser raised her hand in agreement. "Her intuition is the sharpest I've ever seen. It's almost instinctive for her to catch opportunities. At critical moments, key decisions require not careful consideration, but Sonia's unhesitating determination and the ability to act immediately."
"It's useless if I don't agree. You won't follow me." Weixi muttered. When Sonia looked at her nervously, she went over to Sonia, raised her glass and clinked it with hers, showing a defiant smile: "But sometimes, there must be warriors who rush to the front, and then people will follow."
Felix and the others watched this scene from the side, feeling as if they had witnessed the birth of the master of the harem under the Supreme Being. Sonia was even more excited, turning around and hugging Ash, jumping up and down, so happy that she didn't know what to say. Ash was a little amused: "Didn't I recognize you just now? Why are you even happier than before?"
"Your approval is worthless, but now they think I can be the captain!"
Sonia happily put her hands on her hips and chuckled, "You should abdicate. Now is my era, Sonia Servi!"
Ash could understand why Sonia was so happy. If Diya's support was out of friendship, then Weisser and Weishi's support was out of strength. One of them was the Silver Lantern who once destroyed the world, and the other was a demigod who had been a scourge for thousands of years. Compared with the support of her lovers, the recognition of these two outstanding female magicians could make Sonia more confident.
Although it was not obvious at ordinary times, when facing Weisser and Vichy, Sonia's inferiority complex of a country girl jumped out again. After all, compared with the resumes of the two lunatics, Sonia's glorious deeds of participating in the shattering of the starry sky were really not worth mentioning. Although Ash always said that even without him, they could have reached their current heights, in fact, only Sonia had achieved nothing before meeting him, and was not even a magician... She always felt that Weisser and Vichy looked down on her and thought that she was just a lucky country girl who relied on Ash's favor.
They would still be themselves without Ash, but Sonia would no longer be Sword Princess without Ash.
That's why Sonia was so happy. She won the recognition of Weisewish with her strength, and the last bit of inferiority in her heart disappeared. She was such a vain creature that she had to get recognition from the outside world to be sure of her own excellence.
The reason I can stand next to Ash is not because of Ash’s preference, but because I am also the best magician!
"Then when I'm not around, you will be the backbone of the team, the captain of the strongest magician team," Ash said, "No matter what happens, you must maintain the integrity of the team, don't let Diya feel lonely, don't let Weisser lose her ideals, don't let Weishi act recklessly... Do you understand?"
"Why are you suddenly serious?" Sonia asked warily.
"Because you are willing to take care of them as teammates now, you may be willing to treat them as sisters in the future." Ash said seriously: "I will corrupt your heart little by little, and subtly make you the master of the harem!"
"Don't even think about it!"
"So you can promise me?" Ash held out his fist, "When I'm not around, you'll be the captain."
Sonia bumped fists with him: "I won't give you back my position as captain. Have you thought about your future position?"
"I mainly serve as a companion."
"Humph." Sonia drank her wine, her lips curled up, her eyebrows dancing with joy: "One day I will lead them to rebel against you."
"Put Ash on the bottom!"
"Count me in."
“Second.”
The operators responded to the uprising one after another. Suddenly, a shutter sound was heard nearby. Everyone turned around and saw Freya holding up a Polaroid camera.
Today, Veela acted as a photographer throughout the whole process and took many photos, but all the previous photos were not as good as this one.
Against the backdrop of the glittering flower car parade, Ash and the four brides are all captured in the photo. Because it is a candid shot, everyone's posture is natural and casual. Vichy's evil and charming look, Weisser's holiness and quietness, Diya's liveliness and cuteness, Sonia's charm and spunk are all perfectly captured in the photo. Their brides are perfectly matched with the light, just like four dream brides from a fairy tale land.
Everyone thought the photo was great, only Felix objected: "It's a pity that Ash is standing in the back. The composition would be better if he stood between them. Why not take another photo?"
But Ash shook his head. He stared at the photo and smiled faintly. "No, this is fine. This is how it should be."
"It's time to go back."
…
…
After riding the hovercraft back to the hotel, Ash returned to the room and lay down on the bed lazing around without even taking off his clothes.
The room was very quiet. It turned out that when I separated from them, my world was so quiet, so big, and so empty.
But only when he was alone did he have the heart to think about what he had missed. When he was with them, his heart was always led by their joys and sorrows.
The secret of Origin's promotion was told to Sword Lady.
The team also established a new backbone.
All resources have been allocated.
The only problem was Fanxing. But Fanxing was targeting herself, not them. As long as she disappeared, Fanxing would naturally not target the four genius magicians.
There are only four Lord Gods who have real conflicts of interest with them. There are only six seats in the Seventh Heaven. If Sonya, Diya, and Vichy want to be promoted to Lord God, they will inevitably go to war with the four Lord Gods. Ash can't help much in this regard. He can only believe that these challengers of the new era can overthrow the remnants of the old era.
So...it's all arranged.
No memories, no regrets.
Ash exhaled. Just as he got out of bed, Sword Princess and the others opened the door and filed in. He was startled: "Didn't I close the door?"
"We all have your room card." Diya said matter-of-factly: "How come you still have the illusion that you have your own private space?"
Everyone nodded, and Felix at the back blinked, not daring to say that she had it too.
Ash was not surprised and asked, "Aren't you going to take a shower and change into pajamas? Why are you here?"
They looked at each other, and Weisser spun around gracefully, the hem of her bride's skirt trailing like a blooming white rose, and she asked with seductive eyes, "You want us to change clothes?"
Ash was startled, then realized that there was a major battle waiting for him, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll go take a shower first..."
"etc."
Sonia sat on the bed and glanced at the clock in the room: "It's 9:45 now."
"From now until midnight, this is my exclusive time." She looked at Diya and the others and said in an unquestionable tone: "No one of you is allowed to come in before 12 o'clock."
"Then from 12 to 1, Diya can come in."
"Weiser can come in between 1 and 2."
"Vichy can come in between 2 and 3."
"Do you understand?"
Everyone was stunned. Diya was quite puzzled and asked with a confused look on her face: "Why do you still care about this now? And how do you have two hours——?"
Weisser suddenly covered Diya's mouth and carried her away with Weishi. Deda Rose also dragged Felix, who looked expectant, away and said with a caring blessing: "I wish you a good night."
As the door closed, the room suddenly became extremely quiet, as if one could hear a pin drop on the carpet.
Ash's heart was pounding, and his blood seemed to be flowing backwards. He was so nervous that he didn't know what to do, but he still stood up and said calmly, "I'll go take a shower first--"
"return."
Sonia called him softly, her face red as if bleeding, but she still insisted on looking straight at him, with a hint of charm flowing down her brows. Ash felt that his body was really hooked by her gaze, and he couldn't move forward any more.
"Didn't you just ask me what I was thinking about the whole day?"
She patted the seat next to her and said softly, "Come here, I'll tell you now."
