~12 min read 2,276 words

"Power beyond the 13th Ring."

Even knowing that the battle at this moment would decide everything, Miss Danister under the tree still showed respect to both sides at the same time:

"Laplace Klein Howard is truly a genius."

"Can your society actually cultivate such talent?"

Old Higgins, curator of the 【Apna Library】, asked the Diviner beside him. "Mr. Crystal" Adelaida Lenormand shook his head slightly, while Grandma Natalie of the 【Light-Guiding Cult】 beside him looked at the blood-colored light rushing into the sky, and remembered many, many years ago, when Laplace Howard sought protection from the Cult:

"It's a pity that the idea he wants to verify is not feasible. Escaping has never been a solution... May civilization last forever."

Blood color enveloped the snowy Green Island. The power that the Diviner had just scattered to all parts of the island was now all rolling back, and it seemed that everything on this island was rolling back together.

The blood-colored pillar of light descended from the sky and enveloped him. The expression of "Edwards" in the blood light was solemn and dignified, and even a sense of holiness appeared. Pointing one hand to the sky and one to the earth, he was the true master of this small world at this moment. Everything on Green Island, after more than two hundred years of preparation, finally became the final step for him to ascend to a higher place.

The tree-root Ring of Order behind him finally melted completely in that blood light. The aura belonging to humans on him faded completely. "Edwards," born from the blood tree of Green Island, finally became the master who could master everything here.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't fused enough family members at this moment, having already completed the great cause of "Creating Space," he would have been enough to use the ritual to become a Chosen One.

But the current state seemed to be enough. There was less than two hours left until midnight. And at this moment, he shed his human form and, with the triple identity of "Son of Green Island," "Father of Green Island," and "Spirit of Green Island," surpassed all human Ring Warlocks and became the true master here.

The blood light contracted until all the light was hidden within himself. Opening his eyes, the uncontrollable light pierced directly through the mass of golden light represented by Xia De, who was standing on the floating island below him.

The giant tree swayed with his movements, the island shook with his breathing, the wind rhythmically moved with his breathing, and the rolling back of the mist was the frequency of his heartbeat. "Edwards" flicked his fingertips, and the spatial power that seemed to want to erase everything transformed into a gray, hazy light, striking Xia De, who was standing on the floating island.

But the Seventh Ring of Order, which was suddenly rotating rapidly, absorbed that shifting light instead. Xia De, who had opened the Domain "Water of Wisdom," fully understood the Edwards Ascension Technique, and then used the power of the Edwards Ascension Technique at this moment as well.

The blood-light figure high above looked down, while the figure holding the sword below had already let go of the precious sword.

Xia De had originally controlled part of the power of this ritual. At this moment, the great power of the "Edwards Ascension Technique" also belonged to him. He even felt that this power of "uniting all things as one" and "fusing all things" actually belonged to him in the first place.

The brass-colored Enlightenment spiritual light assimilated the casual strike of "Edwards," and on the frantically rotating Ring of Order, brand-new power was born from this.

【Glimpsing others, flesh and blood are containers for holding souls; glimpsing oneself, flesh and blood are shells for the materialization of the soul. The fusion and devouring of flesh and blood, even in the ancient era when the lingering glow of the past had not yet dissipated, was the most effective and cruel way of survival.】

For a moment, Yiluna, who was also standing on the floating island transformed from the wreckage of the banquet hall, seemed to see Xia De's flesh and blood body transform into stone in the light, but blinking, she found that it was just her hallucination.

【You have mastered the power of flesh and blood fusion.】

The power learned from "Water of Wisdom" also belonged to the category of "Enlightenment" elements. On the rapidly rotating Ring of Order, the brass-colored spiritual light finally inscribed the first Spirit Rune of Xia De's Seventh Ring:

【Outsider, you have inscribed the Enlightenment - "Flesh and Blood" Spirit Rune.】

The ancient rune was written in an unknown language, but before Xia De could experience this brand-new power, "She" suddenly said again:

【Outsider, your spell "Active Soil" resonates with "Enlightenment - Flesh and Blood." The spell is sublimated into a Miracle.】

"The power of wisdom?"

The sound that kept vibrating with the air formed an echo-like effect. Clearly maintaining a human form, but at a glance, it looked like a man who had seen the entire Green Island, asking Xia De from high in the sky, the voice coming from all directions.

He did not expect Xia De to give an answer. Although it was a question, it already contained an affirmative meaning:

"Extraordinary power. Only the resonance of wisdom and fairy tales can constitute such great power. God-Caller, I do not fear that you have learned the power I possess. Now that the Edwards Ascension Technique has been completed, if you still think I am wrong, then please use the power of the Edwards Ascension Technique to defeat me to prove your correctness."

Blood light gathered in his right hand. The blood color dyed the starry sky, which had become clear because Xia De opened the Domain, red, and at the same time dyed the floating island under Xia De's feet red.

Although he also opened the "Edwards Ascension Technique," the enemy could absorb the power of the entire island and family members, could borrow the power of Green Island, which had been transformed into his own Domain, and could borrow the giant tree to complete his two-hundred-year wish, but Xia De did not have these things for him to absorb. "Water of Wisdom" allowed him to learn those powers he did not understand, but this Domain would not create physical matter and spell-casting materials out of thin air.

The blood light surged and transformed into a sphere in "Edwards'" hand. The bright red sphere flew toward the night sky, and the blood mist gathered toward it. In a blink of an eye, it transformed into a light mass above the tree canopy of the giant tree that was even larger than the floating island that represented Xia De's Domain and flowed out a waterfall.

The blood light pressed down, and the first clear crack appeared on the floating island. Then the shattered soil disintegrated, and the floating island, which had originally existed as if it were real, began to disappear slowly even before it was hit by the attack.

Megan reached out to help Xia De, but Xia De turned to look at Yiluna.

He pursed his lips under the huge red light that was about to fall, and looked at Yiluna, who had a nervous expression on her face, which was intertwined with light and shadow.

He only asked one question:

"Am I worthy of your heart?"

The seventeen-year-old girl holding the "Thorn of Love" nodded lightly, and the pink thorn was already pressed against her chest:

"Never doubt this point. It is not that you chose us; it is that we chose you. We do not ask for return, only loyalty."

The thorn sank into her chest bit by bit. She saw the smile on Xia De's face, which had already been reflected in a bright red. In the loud noise of the floating island explosion, she saw the lip shape Xia De made and understood his last sentence:

"Happy birthday, Yiluna."

Boom!

Under the astonished gaze of people all over the island, the red light sphere released by "Edwards" destroyed the "God-Caller's" Domain with just one strike. The huge floating island disappeared completely at the top of the blood-colored giant tree, and even the night sky, where one could originally see the normal starry sky, was rapidly filled with blood color under this strike.

The falling soil and stones disappeared in the light before they touched the ground. The collapse of the opposing Domain caused Domain - Green Island to completely occupy every corner of this small world.

"The God-Caller... failed?"

"No, he hasn't failed yet... Huh? How am I here?"

Megan and Durut Giles, who were originally on the floating island, appeared beside Luvia under the tree together. But the purple-eyed girl did not talk to her, but continued to look at the sky.

The mist mass after the floating island exploded diffused on the tree canopy of the blood-colored giant tree, but in that smoke and dust, like the first ray of light at sunrise, it completely illuminated the night sky tonight.

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!

The bell tolling that shook the world rang from nowhere. Heavy snow covered the streets of Green Lake Town. Miss Maria Ingram, the "Nightmare Witch" of the Church of Nature, Mr. Minsk Todders, the "White Dove Messenger" of the Church of Peace, and Mr. Elin White, the "Son of Light" of the Church of Dawn, all saw that the street surface under their feet had turned into stone roads at some point. Looking up again, the blood mist dissipated. Under the heavy snow, in front of the glass display window with lights on, the match girl looked up at the moon;

A warm bonfire was lit under the blood-colored giant tree at some point. Miss Danister turned to look at the flame, and in a trance, she actually saw the phantom of Mana Filiana, the founder of the academy, and another witch in a green long dress. The ancient witch's fragrance seemed to remain by the fire;

The old Edwards house above the hills transformed into a towering castle in the center of the kingdom at this moment. In the tower on the highest floor of the castle, moonlight broke in from the window and shone on the face of the girl sleeping in the crystal coffin;

The lake water that fell after the floating island exploded formed a silver lake in the south of Green Island. The lake island was empty, and a lonely long sword was stabbed into the ground, the silver sword body flashing in the moonlight;

And in the center of the castle, a grand ball was being held. The pumpkin carriage roared out from the castle gate, and the running carriage drove through the small fairy tale kingdom. The streets became wide and tidy as the carriage ran, the houses became row upon row behind the carriage, small animals appeared in the forest in the light scattered by the carriage, and the earth covered with blood-colored roots also appeared green and flowers in the snow because of the carriage's running.

When the carriage drove past the highest hill top that Xia De and Megan had once climbed in the south of the island, Sister Daifulin was about to open the lighthouse door, but looked up and saw that the lighthouse had turned into a dilapidated clock tower made of black stone at some point.

The fairy tale kingdom and Green Island intertwined and merged. At the top of the clock tower at the highest point of the entire island and the entire kingdom, beside the big bell surrounded by four pillars, Yiluna leaned on the pillar, in front of the roaring big bell, looking at Xia De who had almost turned into a silver moon under the clear night sky.

She smiled and closed her eyes, and her whole person turned into a crystal with the scar on her chest as the center. The expression of the pink crystal statue girl froze under the moon. On the face illuminated by the moonlight, the first crack appeared rapidly because of the roaring bell tolling—

Crack!

The crystal statue under the moon collapsed and scattered. Yiluna Beias disappeared from this world. And the most dazzling sunlight born from the statue rose into the sky along with the bell tolling.

The dazzling sun at the top of the clock tower and the moonlight Xia De had turned into at this moment echoed each other in the night sky. The starry sky twinkled because of them, and the wind was celebrating the intersection of the sun and the moon.

On the small road from Green Town to the old Edwards house, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na watched this scene, and for some reason, actually felt amused for her unnamed student:

"Ha~ Yiluna has actually been worried that Xia De wouldn't like her."

"Meow~"

The cat, also watching the night sky, had a sun in its left eye and a moon in its right eye, its tail swinging, not knowing what it was thinking. And Angelina, holding the cat, looked at the moon and the sun merging at the top of the giant tree with a dazed expression.

【Chaos.】

She did not notice the voice beside her ear. The expression on the small face illuminated by the sun and moon seemed a bit ferocious, a bit dazed, a bit greedy, a bit charming, but finally turned into a more profound determination:

"Is this... the power of my knight?" ===== CHAPTER 1923 =====
