Chapter 1476: Riddler

Facing the inquiry of the masked phantom, the silver-haired old woman couldn't help but take a deep breath, gripped the armrests of the chair tightly, and refused firmly:

"I don't want it!"

"You don't want it, but it's not that you don't desire it, right?"

"I also..."

"Beckinsale, lies are meaningless. You can deceive me with words, but you cannot deceive your own heart."

Seeming not to be talking to her enemy, but communicating with a close friend, 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's phantom turned into a crow after calling the silver-haired old woman's name gently, flapping its smoke-like wings and landing lightly on her thin shoulders.

"From the first time I saw you 130 years ago, I knew you were a person full of love. You love the wind, clouds, rain, and fog, you love the earth, mountains, and rivers, you love flowers, grass, birds, and beasts, you love your parents and friends... Your love for this world has never diminished, and it is just as strong even now."

The pitch-black wings brushed across the silver-haired old woman's cheeks. Just a light sweep was enough to erase the traces of age on her face, brushing out a youthful face full of vitality.

After tilting its pitch-black bird head, 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's voice said softly from afar:

"You have too much love in your heart, and also too many, too many regrets. You are far from having lived enough!

Beckinsale, although you firmly rejected me, you are indeed resisting from the bottom of your heart moving toward another unknown world. You desperately hope that time can stay on you... and you indeed have this ability!"

"..."

Gazing at the Great Witch King who was silent, the black crow's wings flapped twice more. After these two light dances ended, the Great Witch King's silver hair quickly turned black, and her slightly hunched back straightened again.

Arms, neck, ankles... the gullies on all exposed skin were smoothed out, and the gray-yellow, ugly age spots disappeared silently. The silver-haired old woman, who had already reached the end of her life, actually regained her most youthful and beautiful appearance.

"Time, it really is an exceptionally cruel thing."

Gazing at this face that had appeared in front of her again after 130 years, the black crow tilted its head, its voice gentle and sighing:

"You and your mother were really alike when you were young. I even thought I saw another her, and you indeed have exceptionally outstanding talent just like her. At less than forty years old, you had already successfully touched the threshold of time."

"Beckinsale, join us! As long as you are willing to take that step, you can master the power of time at any time, completely get rid of the short and pathetic life of humans, and become the only True God who controls the power of time!"

"..."

Facing 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's sincere persuasion, the Great Witch King did not answer immediately, but stretched out her slightly trembling hand to touch her smooth face, then blinked her eyes, which had changed from turbid to clear, and looked blankly at the world that had not been so clear for a long time.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

After flying up from the silver-haired... black-haired girl's rounded shoulders and landing back on "Princess Caitlin's" shoulder, the crow transformed by 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 said warmly:

"Beckinsale, I understand why your lineage keeps rejecting my invitation. You are worried that after you master the 【Time】 power, it will cause the 【Watchtower】 to lose balance. Your guess is indeed correct. The Cleanup Bureau's 【Watchtower】, although wonderful, is nothing more than a man-made True God that masters powers like 【Human】, 【Watch】, 【Time】, etc., in the eyes of Pillar Gods.

When a True God who masters the power of time appears from within the shelter it protects, the perfect balance of the 【Watchtower】 will indeed be broken... but what's wrong with that?"

The pitch-black bird head turned slightly, and 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 narrated calmly:

"You, your mother, your grandmother... your ancestors of this lineage, at least half of them had the talent to control time and were qualified to obtain eternal life, but you are the only one who has lived to this day, and you are also about to reach the end of your life."

"You have guarded humans for long enough. It's not that you owe humans, but that humans owe you! This debt has reached you and can be completely ended. You should have gone to take what you were supposed to have long ago."

When they reached this point, the black crow paused for a moment, then its tone rose slightly:

"Beckinsale, although I cannot see the future, I vaguely have a feeling that regardless of whether you agree to my conditions, the 【Watchtower】 relied upon by the Cleanup Bureau will be completely shattered in this generation, and you should be able to see all of this."

"So you don't need to have too much burden. The final winner will only be us, and you are just choosing one that is slightly more favorable to yourself among two futures with basically the same direction. Why do you have to make things difficult for yourself? You are just choosing the future!"

"..."

Future, huh...

After silently listening to 【The Narrative of Nothingness】's persuasion, the Great Witch King, who had recovered her youth, lowered her head, looked at the shoe print on "Princess Caitlin's" calf, then couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh lightly.

"What you said is not wrong. Starting from about three years ago, although the future fragments I saw were constantly changing, there were more differences in details. The truly huge differences were already very small, and the direction of the future is indeed becoming basically the same."

"?"

【Text missing/p>

After hearing the Great Witch King's somewhat abrupt response, 【The Narrative of Nothingness】 couldn't help but freeze slightly, then frowned and said:

"What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is that your feeling is correct. The Cleanup Bureau's 【Watchtower】 does indeed have the possibility of shattering, but the situation at that time might not be the same as what you think... hmm... but you don't need to worry too much. After all, you might not necessarily be able to see that day."

"?!!!"

After showing a cunning smile at 【The Narrative of Nothingness】, whose eyes were full of suspicion, the black-haired girl sitting in the large chair kicked her flexible legs happily, then said with a smile:

"We who can see the future, in order to avoid dying from revealing too much of the future, always have words that are half-true and half-false. Maybe everything I just said was to fool you, don't take it too seriously... oh, right!"

When they reached this point, seeming to have suddenly remembered something, the Great Witch King looked at "Princess Caitlin," whose eyes were blank, then raised her hand and gave him a thumbs up.

"I seem to recognize who you are... Good luck, the future of the King-Slaughtering Society depends entirely on you!"
