……
Occasionally, when she didn't feel like training, she would venture into the deepest part of the underground labyrinth to see the magic core, the object of hope for the survivors of Taqila. ?.ranen`
This is the fully repaired Instrument of Divine Retribution? Are you sure it works?
The largest core resembled a crude spindle, almost the size of a High Awakening's experimental tower, with dozens of white struts embracing the magic within like ribs enclosing internal organs. Its extraordinary nature was also obvious; there were no visible suspensions or supports around it, yet it floated in the middle of the labyrinthine hall. Under the core's cold, dim light, the underground was no longer just a monotonous fiery red.
Of course, I've been studying it for three hundred and fifteen years! A mass of flesh emerged from the top of the cave, using its tentacles to descend beside her. The deeper I delve into it, the more I feel it's a creation of the gods. In comparison, the stuff those Mystery Moon people were tinkering with is utter crap. Magic stone runes? Tch... they haven't even scratched the surface of magic. If we had discovered this relic four hundred years earlier, perhaps there wouldn't have been a Second Battle of Divine Will!
Whenever the magic core was mentioned, Celine would become extremely excited. She could only pat the creature's rough skin and ask, Have you verified the other cores?
Of course. Pasha even used the illusionary instrument to demonstrate miracles in mortal kingdoms thousands of miles away. You were probably still slumbering then, so you didn't witness that moment.
Thousands of miles away? she asked in surprise.
That's right, far beyond the reach of any ability. The Infinite Rune is worthless compared to it, Celine waved her tentacles, This is the power of the magic core. It allows witches to surpass their own xiànzhi. That mortal who was so frightened by the miracle that he knelt on the spot is the best proof. This is the direction we should be heading, not some damned God's Punishment Army! Long live Nataya!
But without the God's Punishment Army plan, we wouldn't have survived, she reminded her.
Uh... alright, long live Akaliss too, Celine grumbled unwillingly.
But I heard from Pasha that activating the Instrument of Divine Retribution also requires a Chosen One, right?
That's right, the Chosen One! This magic core is too large and complex. Without the Chosen One, it will forever be a dead object and cannot become a new god! Celine hooked her hand with a tentacle, so our hope rests on you. Please be sure to find her.
If she really exists.
Speaking of this, the flesh lump's voice instantly lowered, Yes... if she really exists. Why can't I become the Chosen One?
……
I heard Falling Star City has fallen! They were defeated by mortals!
After the news came, the lava in the underground all boiled. Whether slumberers or watchkeepers, they all waved their tentacles excitedly—this was their only way to express their feelings.
But not everyone was thrilled about this.
How is this possible? For example, Erxia's dancing indicated shock and anger. How could those guys lose to mortals?
Is the source of the news reliable? someone asked.
I will entrust the Dawn Merchant Guild to investigate, Pasha made a quiet gesture with her tentacles, Quiet down, don't collapse the cave!
It was strange, they all looked exactly the same, all in the shape of huge flesh lumps covered in tentacles, but she could easily distinguish who was who.
Perhaps after spending hundreds of years here, even the frequency of their breathing and the way they twisted their tentacles had been engraved in her heart.
Pasha lowered her large body and immersed herself in the lava, Hail Taqila.
All the flesh lumps that could still move drooped down, and voices rang out, Hail Taqila.
The surging lava subsided.
Once the news is confirmed, I suggest we immediately recover the legacy of the gods, Elena said loudly, Falling Star City is not worthy of it.
But that would inevitably lead to a direct conflict with the God's Punishment Army, and I don't think they are completely unprepared for this. Even if Falling Star City fell to mortal hands, it doesn't mean Hermes was severely injured, Erxia expressed doubt, Who knows how the mortals won? Perhaps they just ambushed a God's Punishment Army of a hundred or so people and took it as a great victory.
That's not impossible.
I think so too.
Many people agreed.
Another group of mortals will help us figure it out, Pasha said, But now the most important thing is to find the Chosen One. Barrihed.Losar has set the stage, waiting for the actors to appear.
If this trip can successfully find the Chosen One, the devils will be reduced to ashes, and the witches will usher in their most glorious moment!
……
She walked to the exit of the relic and stopped.
There was a large hall, half of the dome had been crushed by mud, and there was a patio in the center of the hall, leading directly to the surface dozens of meters high.
The bright white light shone down along the patio, forming a soft beam of light, illuminating a small piece of land at her feet.
Facing the patio, there were two tombs.
There was not a trace of dust on the tombstones, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding dilapidated ground.
Obviously, for hundreds of years, someone had been cleaning this place and planting a circle of pure white flowers for the people in the tomb.
She bent down and knelt on one knee in front of the tomb.
This is the burial place of the greatest witches. No matter what disagreements they had during their lives, no matter how fierce the disputes they had, in the end, it was all for the continuation of the witch race. And even after their death, they are still closely connected and never separated.
Two of the three seats of the Union.
The Unfallen Starfall Queen Akaliss.
The Radiant Daychaser Queen Nataya.
May the gods be with you.
After the prayer, she stood up and nodded lightly towards the dome, I'm ready, send me away.
A tentacle stretched out from the shadows, wrapped around her waist, and rose towards the patio. The palm-sized sky grew larger and larger, until it suddenly occupied her entire field of vision.
She blinked her eyes, allowing herself to adapt to the change in bright light before slowly opening them. The long-lost ground world was completely displayed in front of her.
I can only send you here, Pasha's tentacles hovered at the entrance of the cave, This body can't see the sunlight.
I know, she bent down, embraced the tentacles to say goodbye, Wait for my good news.
By the way, you can't use your original name for the time being. The mortal merchant guild has arranged a new identity for you, as well as a code name that matches the identity—Seventy-Six.
Sounds good, she smiled, Then I'm leaving, take care.
You too.
So, in order to pursue that remaining hope, a new journey began. (。如果您喜欢这部作品，欢迎您来起点您的支持，就是我最大的动力。手机用户请到m.阅。)
