Lava creatures will not attack walls, but can pass through lava. They will always choose the "currently closest path", just like Pac-Man.

Once the target they are tracking enters the safe house, they will try to return to their original position. All enemies blocking their path will be killed, but if they approach from behind (assuming they are not burned to death by the lava)

, they will not be ignored.

Once you understand the mechanism, it's easy to control it.

By having one person pick up food or water, and then deliberately wait there, they can actively lure a lava creature to kill.

Even if players are divided into multiple teams, each team has more than eight people. Basically, they can kill less powerful lava creatures in seconds with just one round of focused fire; if they are slightly more powerful, they will start

Shake people while escaping. After gathering twenty-five people, you can defeat the enemy in at most two or three rounds of focused fire.

It didn't take long for the players to kill more than eighty lava creatures - the whole process didn't even take half a day.

At this time, the action logic of the lava creatures suddenly changed to the opposite mode - as long as there are players carrying food and water, the lava creatures within a certain distance will continue to escape from them. Until the players use up the food and water,

They will immediately stop where they are.

The rest of the mechanics are the same - they attack all enemies in their path, except for other lava creatures.

So this "escape game" turned into a more difficult "chase game". The difficulty increased more than three times.

But it was only midnight again... The players easily defeated the remaining nineteen lava creatures and summoned a lava demon.

Different from its seemingly huge size - this BOSS is surprisingly weak, with only two mechanisms. One is to quickly recover blood when entering lava, and the other is to attack and cause the ground within the range to collapse.

If you were to challenge it alone, you would definitely be in despair.

...However, twenty-five players defeated it in just a few rounds of concentrated fire. It is not even clear if there are other mechanisms.

So after clearing the level, they were sent directly away from this instance.

The only thing that made Annan feel a little strange was Kafni.

As a shadow demon that has been completely transformed, it stands to reason that she will be in great pain in the "white world" where the sunlight is extremely strong. Just like the Balrog moves in the water, and the water fairy moves in the lava world.

She can indeed pass through this world again.

But it doesn't seem to make any difference...

But soon, Annan reacted -

If there is anything different about Kaifuni.

Then it must be...she has some kind of complicated love for Annan.

There are complex emotions between men and women, between brothers and sisters, between father and daughter, between mother and son, between gods and believers, and between teachers and students.

If I must describe this feeling...

Then it must be, [Light].

——Annan is Kaifuni’s light.

It was the light that illuminated her dark world, the light that could fill her entire world... It was something that could never be lost no matter what.

Then Annan remembered the contents of that book..."In Praise of the Name of the Sky Crane".

【When I look at the sun, all I shed is tears】

[My soul is firewood, and this love is fire; my soul is burned by fire, like smoke rising; embracing the sun, like a moth admiring the light]

[That is the everlasting love, the third echo that sounds from the depths of the sun]

"...No need for lofty ideals, it is the key to truth. Love can also lead mortals upward..."

Annan murmured softly.

He finally understood.

Why is it Kafni who enters this world?

Although Kaifuni is a woman, the role she plays is not the "eternal daughter". Instead, she plays a madman who "has a lover"——

Annan, who is far away in "another world", is the lover!

It is precisely because "Annan left her world" and she, "a mortal who sheds tears when staring at the sun and can never ascend", has the possibility of ascending because of "love" - ​​because as a fallen person, she

It is indeed impossible to ascend!

This ascension is not a sublimation ceremony in the mist world. It is roughly equivalent to the "clearance" of a nightmare.

However, Kaifuni’s process of clearing the white world.

It is tantamount to a ceremony to transform Annan into the "Eternal Daughter"!

——That's right!

Since this world has been contaminated and corroded by worms...

The power that originally belonged to the "Heavenly Car" has turned into a worm, and the reflection of light in the mirror has turned into an echo of despair at the bottom of the abyss.

If this was a reverse world——

——Then the Madman and the Eternal Daughter should also be mirror images.

In other words, here...Annan is the "eternal daughter"!

Black, gray, faint yellow——

Indeed, the three worlds have fallen into despair...

but……

Blue, red, green——

There are still three worlds full of hope.

Plus, the final androgynous ritual used to anchor Annan as the "Eternal Daughter."

It is not inclined to hope, nor is it inclined to despair.

The final choice was left to Annan by Kaifni.
