Chapter 3101 The Incomprehensible Curse and the Temperature of Death
Chapter 3100 The incomprehensible curse and the temperature of death
"You can defeat mortal enemies, but what about gods? If I successfully summon you when facing a certain monster, and then the gods appear at this time, can you defeat the gods?"
Shade asked again, and this time the long-haired Luvia answered very cautiously:
"I can only answer you this way: If the world is a drama on a stage, then everyone is an actor, you are the audience, and the gods are the backdrop that appears in the actors' mouths but does not appear.
They may be able to appear on the stage with an actor as their carrier, but even if they defeat the actor, they have not defeated them.
Until the end of the world, I will only be an actor. Although I am the most powerful actor, I cannot defeat gods or saints alone in the material world. The only ones who can defeat gods are gods."
Shade almost understood what she meant, but he had a new doubt:
"Speaking of it this way, in the past life, you probably couldn't defeat the gods head-on. At that time, you might not be as powerful as the one I called you with the word of sublimation. So in the past life, how did you deal with the arrival of the evil god?
Can it be said that we can successfully prevent the gods from descending every time?"
"Of course it's impossible."
Luvia shook her head slightly:
"Sometimes God's descent is a prerequisite for achieving certain conditions I want, and sometimes I really can't stop God's descent."
"Then after God descends, will you leave directly?"
Luvia raised her head and looked at him:
"Of course not. I have a way to defeat powerful mortal enemies, and naturally I have a way to resist the descendants of gods. Of course, I don't have your ability to actively carry gods."
"Your own strength cannot reach that level, and you cannot summon gods, so what are you doing?"
Shade became even more confused. Luvia raised a finger and put it in front of Shade's mouth:
"I walk in the story of the Chosen One and witness the performances of "" again and again. If it is really necessary, I can pay some price to achieve the purpose of 'defeating the gods'. Although I do not do this often, it is true that
can achieve such a goal.
You have actually seen the answer, but you haven't realized it yet. We won't talk about this, Shade, just like you don't want to talk to the sleeping me or the me hugging you now."
"Well, things in the past are indeed very complicated. Let's change the topic. After you recovered the heart of the tree, the [Staff of Yggdrasil] didn't seem to have any appearance changes except that it became a little heavier."
Shade mentioned this question again, and Luvia answered in a brisk tone:
"The essence of the Seven Roots Tree Heart is the same, I just made a conceptual fusion. Of course, there is still some work to be done."
She reached out and grabbed Shade's chest, and that hand came directly from the dream world to reality. Then she grabbed the key on the sleeping Shade's chest and took it into the dream:
"This key is left here for now. I need to process it further. Although I am considering whether I should share the power of this long staff with Emilia who has not merged with the World Tree, I will not use it.
Too long.
Now that the staff is no longer with you, after you finish dealing with the follow-up in the forest, just go home and stay there."
"Yes, yes, you don't need to tell me everything inside and outside the dream."
She then rubbed the side of her face against Shade's chest:
"Now, hug me for a while longer, my love, and look at this moment before the sunset with me. Now I don't want to do anything but hold you. The embrace of reality is destined to be short-lived, only in this dream
Only then can I truly have you. Forgive me, Shade."
Shade used his fingers to stir up the broken hair in front of her eyebrows:
"You know that I obtained the power of the World Tree from the remains of the World Tree during this war. I want to try to use it to cure your time curse and help you break the shackles of time."
He was talking about that drop of divinity. Although he only had two drops of divinity left, he would not be stingy with this power just for Luvia.
Rapunzel knew what he was talking about, but she didn't agree. She just buried her face deeply in Shade's arms:
"Time will treat everyone who tries to play with it equally. The curse that comes from destroying the world and playing with time is the punishment I deserve. I accept this myself. Shade, keep that
Strength, from the first time I made a choice, I have been unable to look back."
Shade continued to gently tease her broken hair:
"Since you don't want to do it now, then when we finish all the stories and when the epic "" has turned the last page, will you let me help you lift this curse?"
"willing."
Her voice was already very low, and only she could hear the next words:
"If you are still willing to forgive me then."
This time it was not Shade who took the initiative to end the meeting in the dream, but Luvia, who was sleeping in reality, took the initiative to wake up, and reminded Shade sleepily that it was time to save Sister Devlin from death:
"We'll see you in the banquet hall later. Apart from being a little sleepy, I don't have any other problems right now. You go see the nun, and I'll go see if Carina needs help. Most people are recuperating now, and there should be a shortage of manpower on the ship.
I'll take care of little Mia, don't always take her to dangerous places."
The entrance to the tranquil waters opened by Sister Devlin is of course not in the cabin. No matter how powerful the "Brilliant Messenger" is, its internal space cannot carry such a passage.
So Shade came to the deck in advance according to the note left by Grace. At this moment, the morning sun was rising, reflecting the silver forest with sparkle. The smoke of the war had not dissipated, but now that the night was over, he wanted to come here to calm down for a while.
A while.
At half past seven, as soon as the black crack appeared, Shade ran into it. Although his luck was worse, this kind of thing would not go wrong. Behind the crack was the shoal before death, and at this moment on the shoal
There was a bonfire burning, and Grace and Helen sat huddled together in front of the fire. Seeing Shade coming, they reached out and waved to him.
"Is it okay for you to get in here?"
In this space that does not actually exist, "speaking" itself is more like communication between souls, so Shade's concern was immediately known to the Hongdie sisters. Seeing that Shade did not ask about the nuns' situation first but cared about them,
Helen, who was wearing a black dress, had a sweeter smile on her face:
"Sir, with Sister Devlin's strong flame protection, it doesn't matter for the time being. We have been here and have not moved forward."
Grace in white dress, who is much more mature than her sister, told Shade about his current situation:
"Helen and I helped guide and disperse the fire on the nun, but that was only temporary. Sir, she is in the front, in death. You should accept more of Sister Devlin's fire, otherwise she will be burned.
Go crazy."
Shade suddenly remembered what he knew about the situation of Sister Devlin in her past life:
read
"I understand, please wait for me for a moment. When I bring the nun back, we can go back and have dinner together. Carina and Luvia are having breakfast."
"Okay sir."
Helen said and opened her arms to Shade. After Shade bent down knowingly, the sisters in black and white dresses kissed Shade on the side of his face:
"Thank you for your hard work this time, sir."
Sister Devlin's position can be seen at a glance because there is firelight there. Although the dark moon shines here, it is still very dark in death. With her back to the shallows and facing the dark moon, she kneels on the water.
At the same time, he lowered his head and looked like he was holding something. That should be the first fire, after all, the fire had already appeared.
Shade left the shoal and stepped onto the water. After his body shivered to adapt to the coldness, he continued to walk forward. The pure white souls passed by the nun silently, and as Shade approached the nun, he
I saw that in addition to the faint rippling flames all over the nun's body, her whole body also showed the state of "embers of the first fire".
This state was obviously very wrong, because when Shade came to the nun, he actually felt a heat in death.
He walked around the nun and came to her. As expected, in her hands was the flame with a black heart of flame. Her lowered face was expressionless at the moment, but there were already streaks of fiery red on the mithril eyepatch.
There were cracks, and even flame cracks like broken porcelain appeared on her face.
The hands holding the flame had also been severely burned. When Shade's hand held her hand in the fire, Sister Devlin trembled, but still lowered her head.
"Hero of the Fire Bearer, don't you feel the heat?"
She asked, although her voice was still as ethereal as usual, but this time it showed a little bit of vulnerability.
"Some, but nothing serious."
Shade knelt down on one knee in front of the kneeling nun. The colder feeling when his knees touched the water almost froze his body, but the fire in contact with his hands provided enough heat:
"Fire-bearing nun, please share your flame with me again."
Sister Devlin then raised her head. Fine crimson cracks were all over the mithril eyepatch. The moon print that penetrated her left eye appeared bit by bit between the cracks all over her face. The silver moonlight could not hide it.
The red flames made the nun, who seemed to be a little calm and crazy because of the flames, feel a little bit holy again.
At this moment, the dark moon was behind Shade, and the silver moonlight looked like him. Sister Devlin seemed to be "watching" him, and after a few seconds, she nodded slightly:
"Please touch the darkness within me."
A part of the flame held in the nun's palm branched off and entered Shade's body along his arms. Then fiery red cracks also appeared on the surface of his body, but they only appeared for a moment before being destroyed.
The silver moonlight around him suppressed him.
PS: The old rule is to add an update on the first day of the new year (from fifth to tenth update, not sure), which is the 29th of this month. I hope I can finish this volume by then (not necessarily).
There are two more CGs after that, but I haven’t decided whether to arrange one of them in this volume or at the beginning of the next volume.
