If a person is destined to die, should she be told the news or not?

Before, Ash thought that "there was no need to say" just like Vichy and the others, just like people would not care whether the shadow was absent on a cloudy day. But as he got to know Fili and Rose more, this idea kept tormenting Ash.

He had countless reasons to excuse himself. After all, it was none of his business. It was the Lord of Stars who created the stars without authorization, and he would also destroy them without authorization.

A thought from the God is like a mountain hanging over everyone's head.

Moreover, in the previous 1,668 years, the Kingdom of Stars has been safe and sound. It just happened that this year the Source Angel was finally imprisoned in this cage, so the gears of fate began to turn.

There is always a generation that has bad luck, and it happens to be this generation.

Ash was just a witness to the end of this tragedy, like a spectator watching the end, and it had nothing to do with him. He could have been calm, like the more than one million mortals in Canaan who died in the dragon's belly, he was not moved at all, and even felt that the Star Lord was quite caring for his people, and deliberately created the illusory star kingdom to withstand the disaster.

This relaxing and pleasant thought gradually turned into a poison that was harmful to his soul as he stayed in Jiashi for a month.

It's not just Rose and Fili, but everyone he meets, the fans who admire Heath, the hard-working office workers, the mother who brings her children to the aquarium... If playing games will pursue "reality", then Ash is actually expecting the stars to appear "false", so that he can think of this world as just a game, an illusion.

But there is no sun in the kingdom of stars, so the shadow never discovers its own illusion.

"You are truly the weakest legendary magician I have ever seen." Vichy knocked on the glass curtain wall. The shark inside glanced at her and quickly swam away. "You actually feel sad for what happened to Phantom."

"You won, not a small win, not a medium win, but a big win, okay?" Without stopping, Ash went straight to the next exhibition hall.

Vichy quickly followed, taking advantage of the victory: "You should understand that you are completely powerless, right? Unless the angel hunt lasts a lifetime, the stars can indeed continue to exist, but then you can't leave."

"I know."

"On the other hand, the harder you try to return to reality, the harder you try to bury this world. We outsiders are naturally opposed to this world. You don't even have a reason to help them. They are just a group of shadows that never existed. Their real bodies are safe and sound among the stars."

"I see."

"You..." Vichy became more and more excited, but she soon noticed that although Ash was depressed, he was also somewhat relieved, so she immediately reacted: "Are you using me to relieve your psychological burden!?"

Vichy's words were like tearing off the blood scab on the wound, which made Ash feel more and more pain, but also made him face the wound itself. Especially the criticism from Vichy, the guy he hated the most, Ash could no longer escape and could only force himself to accept the arrangement of fate.

Ash asked back, "But don't you sound very happy about it?"

"I will never let you take advantage of me just for fun." Weishi said, "Let's talk about Fili. The little sheep seems to hurt your heart the most. Don't you just want to avoid being sad, so you don't want to accept Fili's love?"

"If you want to explain the reasons, there are too many." Ash said, "She knows that I like Sword Lady and Witch, and she also knows that I always want to go back and reunite with them. How can a normal woman accept that the person she likes has someone else in his heart, and more than one person?"

"From the beginning, it was impossible for me to give her the love she wanted. Even if I did accept it, it would only hurt her."

"...So you know this, too. I thought you were the type who could open a harem without a clear conscience..." Weishi said, "But if you are willing to let me join, I can help you adjust the relationship between the sword maidens and the witches and make them serve you obediently. Of course, not in the next two days. I still can't let myself suffer now."

"Besides," Ash simply ignored Vichy's trash talk, "I don't think Fili likes me."

Vichy groaned, "Although you can't see it, every day that Fili came to see you in the past month, she wore a set of underwear. Even in my time, the hidden meaning of this behavior was very obvious."

"I mean, she likes Ash Heath, but I'm just Ash."

"Are you sure you really want to discuss metaphysical philosophy with a soul demigod like me?"

Ash explained: "Ash Hiss is a talented creator, a wealthy young businessman, and an upper-class person with social connections. He can make anyone famous if he wants to, and anyone he wants to make successful can save decades of struggle."

Vichy understood: "Do you think Fili only loves your money? Just like I was forced into your enslavement, she was only fascinated by money and power, so she forced herself to please you, a devil?"

"…Not to this extent, but her understanding of me is indeed distorted, and Heath's halo of success may have led her to misunderstand me. So I think that as long as she understands who I really am, she will quickly lose interest. After all, there are not so many loyal loves."

"That makes sense." Vichy nodded, "A woman who still likes you after knowing your true face must have some serious illness."

Ash raised his foot and kicked Vichy's butt from behind, snorting: "Who are you scolding!"

Vichy rubbed his buttocks and moved his lips slightly, as if he was saying dirty words about the Evertwilight elves.

"And then? Did you do anything to scare her off?"

"I donated 90% of my personal property, leaving only 10% to support the police department and hire underground assassins. Although the company is still there, I have handed it over to Rose to take over. The money I made was invested in sunset industries, and my assets shrunk significantly." Ash said: "Although I still have enough food and clothing, I am definitely not rich anymore."

"Not bad, any more?"

"There's nothing else..."

"You stay at home all day without studying or training. You usually just watch dramas, read novels, and play games. At most, you go out to find food occasionally. Isn't it intentional?"

"……no."

"Wow." Wei Xi said very tactfully, "I am really looking forward to seeing what kind of person the Sword Witch is."

Ash: "You are better than me in every way."

"But in terms of soul, prophecy and vision, I should be slightly better." Weishi said: "However, you have revealed your true colors, why does Fili seem to be getting closer and closer to you? Could it be that she really just likes you?"

"Besides, you just mentioned so many reasons, but you ignored the most important one - do you like Fili?"

Ash: "It's just a liking between friends."

Vichy: "So do you think you can be friends with someone who truly likes you?"

Ash didn't answer and walked out of the aquarium quickly. Vichy chased after him and kicked Ash in the butt from behind.

Ash pursed his lips and stared at her. Vichy was not afraid at all. He pulled Ash's arm and said provocatively: "Master, answer me. Master, speak. Master, can you really treat Fili as just a friend? Master——"

clatter.

When the first drop of golden rain hit Vichy's face, both Ash and Vichy were stunned.

Soon, a golden storm came. At the same time, the magicians looked towards the city center at the same time based on the induction of the magic power.

A huge white bull appeared in the golden wind and rain in the city center. Although it was very huge, the magicians felt that it was too thin, so thin that their entire appearance could be seen; even though there was no visible scar on its body, it made people feel that it was already covered with scars.

It did not move, but simply raised its colorful tail and spun vigorously. The dots of color thrown out by the colorful tail fell very accurately in front of everyone's eyes, turning into an empty golden holy grail.

With the vibration of magic power that mortals could not hear, the white bull slowly dissipated. But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Ash always felt that it seemed to turn its head and look at him on purpose, reminding the cult leader of the golden fish that targeted him.

Shit, are the Four Pillars representatives at the bottom of the discrimination chain here?

However, although the white bull disappeared, the golden rain had not yet ended.

Everyone, including Ash and Vichy, had a golden holy grail hanging in front of them.

The Holy Grail was empty, but as golden raindrops slid down its walls, they quickly transformed into rainbow-colored nectar.

At this moment, the magic spirits in their bodies immediately rioted, roaring at them to quickly drink the rainbow nectar inside. But the two of them raised their heads and looked at the sky. At this moment, the dark night of Jiashi was dyed into day by the golden rain.

The second angel hunt began suddenly.

Unlike the last time, they didn't need to fight for the reward in the second game, as the reward had already been delivered to them in advance.

All they have to do is wait for the Holy Grail to be filled with rainbow nectar.

But, is there really such a good thing?

At this time, they saw pillars of light emerging from various places in Jiashi, red, orange, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Because of the obstruction of buildings, Ash and his friends could not tell where the distant pillars of light appeared. They only recognized the nearest green pillar of light, which seemed to have emerged from the forest park.

"What is that?" Vichy showed his ignorance for the first time.

This is not surprising. After all, in her era, these things had not yet appeared in the Time Continent.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the most common creature in the Time Continent..."

Ash murmured, "Six Nations Army!"
