"Rose, I don't know if you've already started to doubt our 'role-playing games', but I'm going to show you the evidence right now."

Ash waved his right hand, and the newly condensed silver virtual wings lit up. In just one day, his silver virtual wings were almost condensed. The Hell Secret Poison was indeed effective. If you don't have virtual wings, it will really make up for it quickly.

At the moment when the silver virtual wings were displayed, the mysterious chain also quietly descended, crushing and breaking Ash's virtual wings. Ash groaned and lay on the desk. Rose and Fili immediately wanted to stand up, but he waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"The destruction of Canaan City, the casualties caused by the Golden Rain Disaster, and the wings I just displayed..." Ash said seriously: "Rose, you should understand that we are not joking."

At the same time, Ash was actually a little disappointed: he had always thought that Rose was also a person of status. After all, Heath was an undercover sent by the Four Pillars, and Rose had always been with Heath, with a rather strange and naive personality, looking like a foreigner who tried to fit in but failed.

But in the Kingdom of Stars, anyone who carries a mysterious chain must be an ordinary person, not a demon or a magician. In other words, Rose is just a weirdo who simply cannot fit into society.

Rose lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "So you really don't need a wheelchair?"

"Really!" Ash quickly jumped up and somersaulted from one side of the study to the other. "Although I haven't recovered yet, it doesn't affect my movements at all!"

Rose held the teacup in both hands and nodded gently: "Well, then I believe you."

Ash sat back in his wheelchair. "The Canaan City and Golden Rain disasters are just the beginning. There will be something bigger next... It may not be a disaster, but when the Angel Hunt is over, this world will most likely come to an end."

"I have been hiding this news because I don't know how to tell you, and more importantly, I have selfish motives. I need your help, Fili, but if I tell you the truth, you will probably refuse to help me, so I dare not say it."

Fili's face turned pale. She asked softly, "Why are you saying it now?"

Yes, why should I tell it? If I don't say that nothing happened, Fili will continue to stay here happily instead of waiting for the end in fear; even if it is just for her own good, I should hide this truth.

A tragedy that cannot be changed by speaking out is nothing more than a long torture for those who know about it. It is like a bottle of black poison in the desert, which you can drink as Coke if you don't know about it.

"Because I care about you, I have included you in my heart, and I began to be afraid to face you." Ash laughed at himself: "But the more likely reason is that I don't want you to hate me."

Fili shook her head: "How could we hate you?"

"I hate that I didn't say it earlier, I hate that I didn't save you, I hate that I can't do anything." Ash looked down at the wood grain on the desk: "I'm always like this. In order to prevent others from hating me, I end up hurting others..."

Suddenly he felt his head being rubbed, and Ash looked up to see that it was Rose who was reaching across the table to touch his head.

"I forgive you." Rose's mouth twitched slightly, as if she wanted to smile, but finally gave up.

"Me too." Fili said softly, "I actually thought you wouldn't say it."

Ash was startled: "Did you guess it?"

"I have this feeling." She stared at the pen holder on the desk and said softly, "I just think if we work hard, maybe we can change this ending, just like the protagonist in the novel."

Ash didn't know what to say for a moment. The Kingdom of Stars was a shadow world created by the Master of Stars. Its purpose was to imprison the Source Angel. Once the Source Angel died, this exclusive cage would naturally lose its meaning. Would the Master of Stars have any reason to continue to maintain its existence?

The Kingdom of Stars was not destroyed, it just returned to its original state.

Even if they can defeat the Star Lord, it is meaningless, just like you can rob a person of his money, but you can't force him to continue running a loss-making business. This is not about defeating the evil boss to save the world, but about letting the Creator continue to maintain the false starry sky - but how to make the Star Lord stay in the Star Kingdom?

And there is a more important point - should the Kingdom of Stars really exist?

Is it more tragic to let the shadow live as a human being, or to let the shadow die as a human being?

"Tell us about this." Rose suddenly asked, "What do you want us to do?"

"If you still have any unfulfilled wishes, I will do my best to help you achieve them." Ash said: "If everything is really irreversible, I hope you can at least realize your wishes."

Rose nodded. "Most of my wishes have been fulfilled, but there is one wish that I plan to fulfill in two years. If the world is really going to be destroyed, it seems that I have to prepare in advance."

"What wish?" Ash's eyes lit up: "Can I help?"

Rose looked at him and said, "Yes."

"Okay, what's your wish?"

"Pregnancy." Rose said, "I am very interested in conceiving and raising life. It may be too late to raise life, but it may be possible to conceive."

Ash and Fili froze instantly. After a moment of silence, Ash said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this."

Rose showed an understanding expression: "It's because of your waist injury--"

"No!" Ash interrupted immediately, "I promised Sword Princess that except for my first kiss, all my first times would be reserved for her. Sorry."

Fili asked curiously, "Why except for the first kiss?"

"Because I lost my first kiss before she asked for it." Ash said, "So, Rose, I can't help you."

"I don't quite understand." Rose was a little confused: "I just need some of your reproductive cells. What does this have to do with your virginity?"

If it was Vichy who said this, Ash would be very sure that she was teasing him, but when it came to Rose, he was not sure if she really didn't know. Fili quickly pulled Rose aside and came back after explaining with her fingers, the former's face still blushing.

Rose said calmly: "Nowadays, test tube technology is very advanced. We don't even need physical contact to complete it—"

"Sorry, I still can't accept it!" Ash refused decisively.

Rose didn't force it, she stood up and said, "Then I can only ask Mr. Igula and Mr. Harvey..."

"Wait!" Fili quickly stopped her and said, "Do you know how long it takes to get pregnant?"

"Counting from the first day of the last menstrual period, the total is 40 weeks or 280 days."

"Ash, when will the world end?"

"The latest is half a year, and the most likely is three months."

Assuming that the Source Angel has four wings, then only the Rainbow Wings and the Colorless Wings will remain. Even if there is a time interval, the Starry Lord will definitely want to do it as quickly as possible and will absolutely not drag it out. Two to three months is their judgment after discussion.

"That means you're too late, Sister Rose!" Fili said, "You'd better give up this wish!"

Rose thought about it and nodded: "If it's too late, then there's really no need."

Ash and Fili breathed a sigh of relief. They never thought that one day they would be glad that the end of the world came early.

"It's time to cook." Rose checked the time. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Rose, are you going to continue to be my assistant?" Ash was a little surprised: "Maybe your life will end in a few months. Don't you want to take a vacation and enjoy your life? If you are short of money, you can just take it from my account."

Rose turned her head and looked at him. "I really enjoyed my life. I worked, had fun, and rested. I never missed a thing."

"But you can quit, have fun and rest, and stop working."

"If you don't work, then you're not enjoying life, right?" Rose was a little confused. "Isn't the value of a person's labor the value of her labor? It is labor that created people, society, and civilization. Giving up labor is equivalent to giving up exporting one's value to society. How can that be considered enjoying life?"

Ash blinked. To be honest, this sentence sounded fine, but shouldn't it be a principle that motivates people to work hard? When there is an opportunity to become a parasite in front of them, how could someone insist on working for this reason?

In an instant, Rose's image became extremely tall and bright in front of Ash and Fili, making these two ordinary people who liked to be lazy feel ashamed.

Rose walked to the door of the study, and for some reason she knocked first, waited a few seconds, and then pushed the door open.

In the study, only Ash and Fili were left, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

"I'm sorry, Rose has been trying hard to find your biological father, but there is still no news." Ash took the initiative to break the silence: "Although we will not give up, don't hold out too much hope. After all, records from more than a decade ago are difficult to trace, and the Golden Rain Disaster has destroyed Jiashi..."

"I understand." The blonde girl nodded.

"Besides this, do you have any other wishes?" Ash paused. "Whatever your wish is, I will do my best to help you realize it, even if it means that I will no longer participate in angel hunting. After all, it is my and Vichy's fault for involving you in this war."

Fili lowered her eyes and looked at the desk, and Ash did not disturb her.

He was already prepared for Fili to leave, perhaps this was the outcome he was expecting. Matters between magicians should not involve innocent people. He, Igula, Harvey, and Vichy could die for their love, friends, and ambitions, but why would Fili risk her life for them?

They created this world without permission, turned it into a cage without permission, used it as a battlefield without permission, and used the people here as tools without permission... Magicians are truly a sinful species.

"Can you really wish for anything?"

Fili raised her head and stared at Ash with bright eyes.

"Anything?"
