Starry Kingdom, Woodland Theatre.
When the stars set off the meteor shower, the sky was almost bright. As meteors flew from the ground to the sky, the fake starry sky was torn into cracks, and the light that countless people had imagined in their minds but never prayed for was gradually squeezing into this land that had been closed for thousands of years.
This venue, which was once regarded as the landmark and pride of Yudunling, now has nothing left except the main stage. The ground has been turned over several times, and water pipes and cables are lying on the ground, as if a monster has caused damage here.
Of course there were no monsters, just magicians fighting.
Sonia drew a sword mark that spanned a hundred meters. Nothing in her field of vision could pass through this sword mark. Behind her, the shadow of the exterminating dragon loomed. The love letter battlefield she created was as indestructible as a fortress. tsunami, a violence that could not be conquered no matter how many people there were.
This was the first time the girl fought outside the academy, the first time she fought a life-and-death battle without rules, the first time she showed her true fangs, but the first time she experienced the feeling of stepping on the world. Debut is the peak, which is the wail of mortals facing such a monster.
Suddenly, the Star Masters retreated like a tide, retreating to the area outside the cordon. Sonia watched them leave from the air, her tense nerves slowly relaxing. Only then did she realize that her face was flushed, and the intense exercise made her breath warm. Her underwear was soaked and sticky to her body, but her hands were dry and not sweating.
It was completely different from training. She was the type who sweated easily, so she had to wear gloves to stop sweating during training. Adele had mentioned before that she had an awkward situation when holding hands on a date because of sweaty hands, which made Sonia a little nervous. She wasn't afraid of embarrassment, but if Ash dared to laugh, she would definitely hit him in the head.
But once she started fighting, her body became obedient, and all the physiological reactions that hindered fighting would shut down, making it difficult for her to find excuses to shirk responsibility, and once she lost, she could only admit that she was inferior to her opponent.
Although she seems to have never lost.
When Sonia returned to the main stage, countless star pillars suddenly rose outside, and the misty arcs of light connected into one, like a ribbon of aurora caressing the starry earth. The star magicians did not retreat, they were just praying, or maybe celebrating, the only thing that was certain was that they did not admit defeat.
"The blockade of Ruby Mountain," Diya said suddenly, "seems to have a crack just now, but it closed quickly."
Sonia was startled: "Is there already...?"
They looked at Ash and the others who were still sleeping, their faces darkened. If it wasn't over yet, it would be fine, but if the angel hunt was over and Ash still couldn't come back...
There were already enough people who wanted to lock Ash up, and there was no need to add another one that they couldn't contend with.
At this time, they saw Deda Rose staring blankly at the sky, her face showing pure joy without any embellishment, she was radiant and her smile was brighter than any movie or TV show Sonia had ever seen.
"Deda Rose...?" Sonia asked tentatively.
"It's going to succeed." Deda Rose took Sonia's hand and couldn't wait to share her joy like a child: "It's going to succeed. The Four Pillars God has already felt the rhythm of fate. Guanzuo is about to accomplish his great mission! Great, great, we are about to witness the birth of a new world!"
Sonia and Diya looked at each other and both sensed the other's inner uneasiness.
They remembered at this time that the main goal of the Four Pillars of Stars was not to shatter the sky. Shattering the sky was at best a side quest. Even Deda Rose didn't know the real goal of the Four Pillars. The only thing that was certain was that the Four Pillars chose Ash as the executor. The Four Pillars of Stars and Deda Rose were just tools to assist Ash.
What exactly do the Four Pillars Gods want? What exactly do they want Ash to do?
At this time, Sonia noticed Felix slumped silently on the ground, helplessly next to Ash's wheelchair. She walked over, squatted down and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah?" Miss Vosiloda raised her head blankly and shook her head: "I'm fine."
"Then why are you crying?"
Felix touched her cheek and found that she had shed two lines of tears. She looked at the water marks on her fingertips, tilted her head, her golden hair cascading down, and whispered softly:
"Yeah, why?"
…
…
On the vast land of Cangyuan, the Canaan still faithfully fulfilled its mission, driving on this seemingly endless track until the end of the world. Behind it, the fastest sports car among the stars had already caught up with it.
But the people in the sports car had missed their last chance; and the girl in the car was not the one who was worried about.
No one knew why the Canaan was still moving, and no one knew that the Oracle Comet was still chasing them. It seemed that this distance of always moving forward but relatively still was exactly the limit they could accept.
Or it could be said that it was the limit that could keep Ash calm. If it was a distance he could cross in an instant, even he himself would not know what he would do.
The rain was pouring down and the wind was howling, but only Ash was enduring the endless wind and rain. The flawless being surrounded by starlight in front of him would not be tainted by the slightest bit of malice in this world.
"Master of the Stars."
In this oppressive silence that was almost suffocating, Ash's voice was like a thunderclap, and every note seemed to contain the anger that had been folded countless times from the depths of his soul. "Is this the name?"
"That is my honorific name, but I don't see any respect in your eyes." Her voice was ethereal and arrogant. Even if it was the same voice, it would only make Ash feel strange and disgusted. "Don't force yourself. The name is just a symbol. You can call me Fanxing, Ash Hiss."
"You know me?"
"I knew you existed when you entered my kingdom."
Ash's first reaction was the time when he entered the Stars, but he immediately realized: "Eight years ago--"
"I'm actually very surprised." Fanxing said, "Your personality is completely different from that period. The Four Pillars God's sense of touch is really a wonderful existence."
"You have always been able to observe the stars?"
"Before the lockdown, I could observe from outside. After the lockdown, I can only observe from inside."
"You're in there?" Ash was startled. "Didn't you wait until everything was done before coming in from outside to plunder Fili's body and seize her achievements?"
"You seem to think that I can predict that Fili will definitely grab the Supreme Holy Grail, so I stay in my own heaven all the time, waiting for Fili to defeat everyone before calmly descending to steal the victory." Fanxing chuckled and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not an omniscient conspirator."
"And if I can come in from outside, then Quanzhi and the others can do the same. Do you think Quanzhi and the others will honestly withdraw from the competition just because they lost? What just tore open the sky curtain and came in was just a resurrection miracle, a miracle that resurrected Fili."
"Fortunately, the Supreme Holy Grail has been extracted and the Source Angel has lost all its power. Otherwise, I wouldn't even dare to risk inserting this miracle of resurrection."
Ash's pupils shrank suddenly: "Resurrection... Fili?"
"Yes, it wasn't the arrival of the stars, but the resurrection of Fili." Stars seemed happy to explain the truth to Ash: "Do you think Fili alone can really get through so many difficulties? After you and Fili were separated in the first angel hunt, how did she drink the first holy grail by accident? In the second angel hunt, how did she avoid the pursuit of the Six Nations Legion and find you in the commercial street?"
"I am always here." Her voice was both a declaration and a curse: "Fili and I are one."
Ash thought of a lot of things in an instant. He stared at the stars, his face pale and almost desperate.
"Don't show such a disrespectful expression." Fanxing's tone suddenly turned cold, "If I really want to favor you, your only attitude is to feel extremely honored, because this can change your final outcome."
"But the person who likes you is indeed Fili." She said, "I watched her gradually care about you, watched her heart flutter because of your words, watched her feel entangled and sad because you had someone in your heart, watched her use a notebook to list the evidence that you might like her, and after writing it down, she blushed and covered herself with the sheets, and her legs slapped the mattress, making it bounce..."
"Although she and I are one, I only hinted at the right path for her when she didn't know how to move forward. At other times, especially when you guided her, I never interfered with her actions, let alone affected her feelings."
"She tried to convince herself to let you go countless times, but she fell for you again when she saw you." Fanxing said calmly, "I still don't know what love is, but I guess she likes you very much."
She looked up at the meteor shower in the sky and squinted at Ash: "You shouldn't have told her that we should take a walk together in the sun. This kind of unfulfilled promise will only make her feel more regretful before she disappears."
Fortunately, Ash was sitting in a sports car, otherwise he would have collapsed on the ground like a dog with its spine pulled out. He held the steering wheel with trembling hands, exhaled a breath of desperate cold air, raised his head and looked at the stars: "Fili has been your demon since the beginning?"
"right."
"You and Fili are one, but Fili is the dominant personality?"
"I don't like the term personality." Fanxing said, "You can think of it as an iceberg. What you usually see is Fili floating on the sea, but there is also me hiding under the sea. After I descended into the demon container, I did not choose to cover her will, but chose to merge with her and then separate. In this way, while ensuring her independent will, I can also influence her actions when necessary."
"To use a term you are more familiar with." She said this without any malice: "Just like you are the touch of the four pillars, Fili is my touch."
Ash hissed and took a deep breath, "Why?"
"Um?"
"Why don't you override Fili's will like other demons?" Ash raised his head and asked the biggest question in his heart: "Why don't you go into battle yourself, and use Fili to achieve your goal?"
Hearing Ash's question, Fanxing's mouth curled up a little bit and she smiled sweetly. Her baby fat, which was exactly the same as Fili's, even made her look cute, as if Ash had given her a chance to show off to her heart's content: "Because this is the bet I'm most proud of."
"Ash, I am not good at prophecy. I am weak against strong when competing with the Omniscient Weaver and the others. It is even more unrealistic to think that I can use this to plot against the Source Angel. But I once obtained a legacy of destiny. With the power of destiny, I successfully constructed a mapping relationship between the stars."
"You should have realized that your relationship in the stars will affect the fate of the stars to a certain extent. The fact that you met Harvey and Igula on the first day actually has little to do with Rose, but because your fate in reality is too deeply entangled."
"I chose Fili as the vessel for only one reason." She smiled, "Because her original body is the one who is most deeply entangled with the sense of touch of the Four Pillars of Stars."
"Even if I succeed in imprisoning the Source Angel in a cage, the probability that I can seize the Supreme Holy Grail is very low. The other gods will never let me get what I want, and the Source Angel is not that easy to kill. So what I have to do is to stand next to the person who is most likely to seize the Holy Grail."
"That person is you, Ash Hiss."
Ash thought he could accept all the truth that Fanxing had told him, but he still felt it was too absurd to hear this: "Me?"
"You cannot understand the status of the Source Angel now." Fanxing said, "The favor that the Void Realm has for the Source Angel is unimaginable to magicians. If you were not there, even if the Source Angel died, no one would get its Holy Grail. The more likely outcome would be that the Holy Grail disappears, and a new Source Angel is born after a thousand years of gestation."
"But you changed the direction of the virtual world, because you are the touch of the Four Pillars Gods, and in the eyes of the virtual world, the Four Pillars Gods are family members second only to the source angels."
"If the Source Angel is really going to die, then you are the only one qualified to hold the Holy Grail."
Fanxing didn't seem to want to stand any longer, but there were no seats nearby, so she sat on the edge of the car, her legs hanging down almost touching the hood of the Oracle Comet: "Only by getting close to you can I get close to the Holy Grail."
"Since Fili's real body is already entangled with you, then through fate mapping, Fili will naturally be with you. So not only can I not override her will, I have to minimize my interference as much as possible, so that the fate mapping will be maximized and her fate will be bound to you."
"In fact, it is precisely because Fili followed you without knowing anything that she was able to gain the most benefits. Even if I were to go down in person, I could not do better than her. If it were not for you, she would not be able to stand on the battlefield of demons, and if it were not for you, she would not be able to win in the end."
"I thought she was going to lose countless times, but she persisted for you countless times. Because she wanted to win the Holy Grail for you, even fate would give in to her! The more she likes you, the more she loves you, and the more she treats you sincerely, the more the world will help her, and even the devil will have to suffer in vain!"
"This Holy Grail," Fanxing raised the Supreme Holy Grail in his hand, "actually belongs to you, Ash Hiss."
She lowered her eyes and looked into Ash's eyes in the Oracle Comet. Their eyes were full of starlight, dark and deep, and their pupils reflected each other's coldness, like two real demons.
Suddenly, Fanxing's high-heeled boots swung in the air twice, like ripples on a calm lake, which brought back Ash's memories. When riding the cable car in Xiaguang Happy World, Fili liked to swing her legs back and forth, making the cable car shake, and then she hugged herself in fear, but still liked to swing, and occasionally she would hook Ash's legs.
Fanxing retracted her gaze and chuckled: "Your expression is as if what I stole was not your Holy Grail, but your girl."
