"But what if I hide you in a dark room in the basement?"

Sonia suddenly asked, "You usually don't go out and stay in the house to practice and entertain. Only I come to see you, so that you won't be at any risk of being exposed. You won't implicate me, but we can still be together."

This suggestion did sound okay at first, but Ash felt something was wrong, and he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, I want to go back to Gospel to find Liz!"

"But you can't go back immediately," Sonia's eyes flashed strangely, "During this time——"

"that……"

Diya raised her hand and said, "I actually have a way to build a portal from Gospel to the stars, but the portal to the stars is in a random location. But if you give me a few days, it is not impossible to build a portal to the world of Kale."

Ash was startled, then reacted: "Gospel system?"

"The concept of the Void Gate is a completely new world rule. Even the Gospel Spirits need to spend some time to familiarize themselves with its internal laws." Diya said, "The Void Gate Art Spirits must have better supporting facilities to establish directional Void Gates, but that requires the talents of the magicians to develop. The Gospel system can only use big data analysis, similar to the exhaustive method, to forcibly deduce the approximate range of the Void Gates established in different environments and at different times."

"If you want to return to Gospel, Ash, I will arrange it within three days." Diya said seriously: "Now Gospel Kingdom is under my rule, and the Omniscient Weaver has never given any special instructions to you alien travelers. As long as you come back, I can not only protect you, but also open the seven hundred years of inventory of the Yisu royal family to you."

"You've been wandering for so long," the witch said gently, "now you can finally go home."

Ash was stunned by this sudden surprise - they could leave from the stars now? They didn't need to go deep into the abyss, they didn't need to slowly open the empty door, they just needed to wait for Diya to open the empty door?

He, Igula, and Harvey finally no longer need to rush around on the earth and can rest well under the protection of Queen Yisu?

Their long journey...will they finally reach the agreed destination?

"Can the empty door be fixed forever?" Sonia asked with wide eyes.

Diya shook her head: "No, we haven't researched the relevant miracles yet."

"Then can you create empty gates frequently? For example, let me go to Gospel Kingdom two or three times a week."

"No, creating a directional void gate consumes a lot of Gospel system because there are too many factors that affect the void gate, virtual realm fluctuations, environmental factors, and even the flowing gold river water... Every time a directional void gate is created, a large amount of Gospel computing power will be squeezed. It's okay once or twice, but if it continues for a long time, it will have an indelible negative impact on people's livelihood and economy."

"What about twice a month? Once in, once out, I can take a month-long vacation."

“No.”

"Why not?"

"Because I didn't intend to tell you this news."

Diya lowered her head, looked at her toes and said, "If Ash was in another country, I would tell him the news secretly. But he is in Fanxing, I can't hide it from you, so I just confessed it."

Ash hesitated to speak, his eyes moving between the two girls.

“…Ahaha.”

Sonia crossed her arms and said calmly, "One of you didn't plan to tell me that you were in the stars, and the other didn't want to tell me that you could connect to the stars. You really are...father and daughter?"

"I told you," Diya pursed her lips, "Lise is Ash's daughter, I am Diya! I am the princess, and Ash is my knight!"

"I can tell you've been trying to avoid this. You're afraid he'll treat you as his daughter and purify your relationship into family affection." Sonia said, "But you and Liz have multiple souls. When you were in the Continent of Time, you didn't have any love for the Viewer beyond friendship. So you actually fell in love with him from Liz's perspective, right?"

"Ash said that your Yisu royal family seems to have no paternal line, and the maternal line is a puppet occupied by the gospel spirit, so you, the princess, must lack paternal and maternal love. Although you have always wanted to avoid it, the starting point of your feelings is actually the infatuation with the paternal love he gave you, right?"

Ash stood up nervously: "Sword Princess..."

Sword Princess reached out and pushed him back, staring at the pale witch and said, "Although my spiritual faction is shallow, I also know that multiple souls in one body will affect each other. Liz's feelings for Ash will affect you sisters, and your sisters' feelings for Ash will also affect Liz... Can you really tell the difference? Are you looking for a lover or a father?"

The witch's lips trembled, and her eyes were full of mist, as if she was about to cry in the next second. At this time, her hair color suddenly changed, switching between black, white and red, and finally transformed into a distinctly colored dirty hair. She gritted her teeth and said, "This is why we don't want you to come to the Gospel."

"The virtual world is the limit of our tolerance. We don't want to continue seeing you in reality."

Sonia was so angry that she laughed: "Tolerate? What are you tolerating?"

"How could I tolerate you breaking the agreement and crossing the friendship line first? How could I tolerate you sneaking around when I wasn't paying attention? How could I tolerate you intentionally or unintentionally blocking me from getting close to Ash?" The witch's voice became louder and louder, and the resentment on her face became more and more intense. "You almost took away all the time we had alone together in the virtual world, and you ask me what I am enduring?"

"You don't want to take the initiative and stop fighting, so why are you blaming me?"

"Do I not want to take the initiative? I just don't dare to take the initiative!" The witch shook her head heavily, her messy hair streaking out muddy colors. "I don't want to argue with you, I don't want to affect the atmosphere of the team, I don't want to destroy the stable relationship we have finally formed, but you always think that everything is as it should be. You always want to take more and you always want to keep taking more candy even when your mouth is full!"

"But at that time I could still comfort myself. As long as Ash came back, we wouldn't have to worry about your gaze. We would have our own time as a princess and a knight. We... at least we wouldn't have to be so humble as dust even in our love for each other."

"You should be humble." Sonia said word by word, "Because I was here first!"

"Oh, really?" The witch pointed at Ash and said, "If his childhood sweetheart suddenly showed up, would you also be tactful and take the initiative to withdraw?"

“That assumption doesn’t make sense.”

"But you only know the viewer in the virtual world. You don't know the real Ash at all. You don't know what he likes to play, what he likes to eat, or who his friends are... From this perspective, I like all of Ash before you do. You only like the side called the viewer!"

"Not to mention that you can't even protect him in the Stars, but I can provide him with all the help in Gospel. If we really have to talk about who should be humble, it definitely won't be me who can sacrifice a kingdom!"

Sonia's anger almost burned through her belly. She almost subconsciously gripped the hilt of the sword, her eyes as red as blood: "You——"

"You are very selfish." The witch refused to give in, and drew a sharp line with her ten fingers. "But it doesn't matter. We are all selfish people, but you can't be so selfish as to think that everyone is selfless."

"Are seeds that miss the season not allowed to sprout? Can belated love only be surrendered? That doesn't make sense!" She said loudly: "Sword Princess, I have never thought of defeating you or letting you retire, because I know it is impossible. We are destined to be comrades who live and die together. The thread of our destiny has long been entangled with each other... More importantly, Ash will never give up on you."

"But you think you can cut off the relationship between me and Ash."

"I've had enough of this kind of treatment in the virtual world. I won't continue to endure your bullying in reality. I will not accept you to the Kingdom of Gospel, ever."

"That's because I deserve it!" Sonia blushed, "I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Then what did I do wrong?" The witch pulled the thread in her hand tightly: "Is it my fault for falling in love with the knight who saved me from falling from the building, and the prince who took me out of the palace? Why should I swallow my anger in front of you? You don't consider my feelings at all... You didn't even consider Ash's position."

Sonia bit her lips tightly, about to cry, pearl-like tears sliding down the corners of her eyes, but she still raised her head stubbornly, her red ponytail fluttering proudly:

“I’m not wrong!”

Bang!

The sword tip landed heavily on the ruby ​​ground, Ash stood up, leaning on the sword, spreading his virtual wings, unfolding his sanctuary, and the sword's color and magic power fluctuated violently.

"Come to think of it," he suddenly said, "I haven't seen you for more than a month. I don't know how much your strength has improved."

"Let's fight, with all our might."
