Suddenly feeling the prying eyes, Alice, who was sulking alone just a second ago, suddenly turned around.
The girl with her eyes closed glared fiercely at the voyeur hidden in the darkness.
"who!?"
The violent and ferocious thoughts kept exploring behind her, and Alice made it clear that she wanted to find out the shady peeper!
If possible, find it out and give it a good beating to vent the pent-up emotions in your heart.
"Who is it? Come out!"
Who is there!?
Come out to me!!!
However, what made Alice feel bored in the end was that after careful inspection several times, she still found nothing.
It was as if the perception just now was just a delusion of persecution after she was overly nervous.
However, Alice will not doubt herself, it is impossible for her to perceive wrongly.
Someone must be spying on me in the dark!
Either the other party's hiding ability is very superb, or the spying techniques used by the other party are very special.
"...You're not coming out, are you?"
After looking around within the visual range, Alice finally shrank her consciousness and covered the entire Sky City.
"snort!"
If you don’t come out, you won’t come out!
If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!
The crystal fell and got stuck on the groove on the ground without any gaps.
Buzz——
A huge buzzing sound echoed in the sky, and the residents who heard the sound were stunned for a moment and then ran quickly.
"quick!"
"Hurry, hurry! It's too late!"
Powerful energy surges from the core of the Sky City, flowing to Alice's crystal like a wave.
Buzz buzz!
The buzzing emitted by the crystal became louder and louder, its frequency became faster and faster, and it suddenly disappeared when it reached its peak.
The girl in the crystal raised her arm and pointed indifferently forward.
"————"
The power gathered and compressed to the limit is released at this moment!
Whoosh.
All the sounds disappeared, and only the bright light covered the spherical space.
Silent and breathless.
The horrific destruction did not appear. From the outside, nothing seemed to happen in this space.
The only change is that the city in the sky disappeared from its place.
Faced with the peep that could not be found, Alice chose to directly use her power to move from the original place.
Since you don't come out, then I will ignore you.
Go ahead and play it yourself!
This is not out of fear, but simply out of trouble.
No matter who the secret being is, as long as Alice is still in this city, no one can truly threaten her life.
Not even gods!
This is her sanctuary, isolated from all outside perceptions and power.
But at the same time...this is also her cage.
As long as she still controls the crystal, everything about Alice will be linked to this city.
She is the city, the city is her, and no one can separate her from it.
Alice is the real master of the Sky City, but...she is also a caged bird that cannot break free.
This city can guarantee her safety, but only within the city.
She couldn't leave this city even half a step unless she was willing to abandon this iron cage made of crystal.
However, although it sounds very pitiful, Alice is like a tragic protagonist who is tortured every day, but this cage for her... is not actually torture.
Alice doesn't resist the status quo, and even enjoys it a little bit.
Her character is unwilling to go out, especially when the outside world is very dangerous.
go out?
Why go out?
And what about now after the arrival of the uninvited guests?
Is the outside world a good place?
She has been in this world for many years. Strictly speaking, she even came here earlier than those guys who call themselves gods.
Those crazy people are the latecomers!
When Alice came, the world was still very harmonious.
The undisturbed mortals were still developing their civilization step by step. At that time, they had just passed the initial stage of living rough and drinking blood. It might take another few hundred years to truly enter the dawn of culture.
At that time, she can formally contact and communicate with that group of people.
Alice waited patiently, and as a result... mortal civilization did prosper, but not through their own efforts.
What they rely on is the charity of the thing called [God].
In just a hundred years, Alice just took a nap, and the subsequent group of lawless gods transformed the world into their own shape.
If things only ended here, there wouldn't be any problem. Alice would just move to another place at the worst.
But...these gods overestimated their own will.
They didn't know when they started to become greedy, and gradually they couldn't restrain this desire.
The gods are overflowing and wreaking havoc on the world, and wars between gods are still breaking out.
Legends are everywhere, and there are as many gods as dogs.
The crazy war between gods has completely destroyed the laws of this world, distorted the entire world, and completely changed the parameters of the space jump. It will take a hundred years to calculate it.
Alice is trapped.
She is trapped in an uncomfortable and twisted world.
The relationship between humans and gods has been completely distorted, and the scales have tilted unreasonably to one side, as if the world unreasonably favors gods.
Alice knew very well that sooner or later, such a relationship would run into serious problems, and it would not surprise her when it collapsed.
This so-called "spiritual age" will suddenly perish one day without the intervention of outsiders.
But that has nothing to do with her.
It's just a big cage on top of a small cage. It's nothing at all.
Even if the gods from the outside world beat out their brains, it would not have any impact on her. She could still lie down in her little nest with peace of mind.
Although this little nest is a bit boring, it doesn't matter if your life is at risk.
So she hid herself and shrank to the edge of the war zone, found a place to start calculating the parameters of the jump, and planned to leave the world directly after completing the calculations.
As for the life and death of mortals, what kind of suffering they would experience in the battle between gods... She didn't care, and she didn't intend to get involved.
She has seen too much and has long been numb.
What does it have to do with me?
I'm just a passerby, don't bother me, and I won't interfere with you.
...These are Alice's past thoughts.
But this idea has changed at some point.
When did it start?
Stopping in the new safe zone, the Sky City appears in the world again.
"The answer... I know it very well myself."
Alice murmured as she hugged her knees and sat in the crystal, thinking about that man.
