Chapter 1923: [Poetry Cards] and Transcending Time and Space
The dazzling sun under the night sky finally merged with the soft silver moon. Amidst the intertwined golden and silver light, Xia De's figure appeared again. His appearance had not changed much, only his clothing had turned into a golden long robe.
The two Seventh Rings of Order that emerged automatically intersected vertically behind him. The gold of the sun and the silver of the moon penetrated the surface of the two Rings of Order, and then the rapidly rotating vertically-cut rings constituted a magnificent gold and silver dual-colored sphere behind him.
Xia De, who subconsciously closed his eyes, heard the laughter of "She" beside his ear:
【Sun and Moon.】
"She" seemed to be missing something, or simply felt happy for this moment:
【Outsider, you have learned the Domain "Zhong Lou Lover." The Domain must be used in conjunction with the Miracle "Thorn of Love," turning the heart that is willing to open to you into your power.】
"She" did not need to remind him. Xia De, who had already merged with Yiluna, already understood what kind of power this was. He had originally thought that the two people who were "two in one" were a body with characteristics of both sides led by two souls. But after truly unfolding the Domain and truly completing the Domain obtained after being pointed out by the god of "Desire" and Wealth, he found that this seemed to be just Yiluna turning into his power.
He could feel that his body had not changed at all. Yiluna's melted body just turned into a stream of extremely hot heat, surging in his body. Yiluna's soul was tightly intertwined with his soul like a long snake at this moment. It was hard for him to describe this feeling, but at this moment, he was both Xia De Hamilton and Yiluna Beias.
Even though the two Domains were intertwined and merged at this moment, "Edwards" at the top of the giant tree could still see everything on the island. He was obviously also shocked by this scene that had just happened. After all, no one expected such a thing to happen, but soon a smile appeared on his face again:
"Two in one, moon and sun. God-Caller, you really prepared a surprise for me. Even I didn't know that the Edwards Ascension Technique had such an effect."
Xia De, who subconsciously closed his eyes, could still clearly "see" everything in front of him by relying on his own control of the Domain. He felt that the state at this time could not be maintained for too long. Yiluna seemed to be "melting" on his body. If he did not end this state quickly, perhaps she would never come back.
"Laplace Klein Howard, let's decide the outcome in one move."
Jumping lightly into the air, the power of divinity overflowing seemed to have been extended because of merging with Yiluna. The gold and silver light sphere transformed by the two Rings of Order followed Xia De raising his right hand and arrived at his palm. And the Diviner, who was connected to the giant tree and the island through dense blood-colored branches behind him, also raised his hands high.
The gold and silver light transformed by the Ring of Order rising from above the clock tower, and the blood-red light transformed by the power of the entire island rising from the top of the giant tree, illuminated all parts of the island again amidst the vision of the newborn dawn produced by Yiluna's "melting."
Before the two masses of light made contact, before the explosion that seemed to want to flatten the entire world, the Diviner at the top of the tree finally saw Xia De open his eyes.
The left eye was the sun, and the right eye was the moon. The Diviner beyond the 13th Ring seemed to suddenly understand something at that moment, but also seemed to understand nothing. And the next moment, the blood-colored light was swallowed by the gold and silver dual-colored light sphere transformed by the intersecting and flowing Ring of Order, until it swallowed him too, so no one saw his complex expression at the last moment:
"So... that's it."
The world turned completely white in an instant, and the sound disappeared completely. It seemed that this was the end of everything. But just after this thought appeared, the explosion that pierced the tinnitus rang out from high in the sky. The immeasurable light and the tide of chaotic elements and spirits forced everyone to lower their heads and cover their ears, not to observe this duel that surpassed the 13th Ring and could be called the strongest mortal strike of this era.
"Is it over?"
When the light dissipated, this was the first thought of those who could still think. But looking around, the two Domains that were entangled and transforming each other had not disappeared.
At the top of the clock tower, Xia De looked at the blood-red giant tree higher up with a serious face. Behind him, Yiluna, who was panting and leaning on the floor, was so weak that she could not stand up. In order to let Xia De continue to deal with the following things, the consumption of the spell just now was entirely borne by her. But the more critical reason for her weak hands and feet was that Xia De's hot soul almost really melted her soul.
But she was not afraid at all. Instead, an uncontrollable smile appeared on her face at this moment. She was trembling all over, but it was an excited trembling. She finally determined what kind of feelings Xia De had for her, and finally led everyone, whether it was Luvia, the ancient witch, the modern witch, or the princess and the writer, to be the first to touch Xia De's soul and become a part of him.
She would be branded in Xia De's heart forever, just as Xia De would remain in her soul forever.
The Ring of Order emerged automatically. Without any ritual, just because she touched Xia De's soul containing divinity, Yiluna of the Seventh Ring automatically ascended to the Eighth Ring amidst the smile she could not control herself.
Although ascending as a Ring Warlock would restore some Spirit, she still could not continue to fight in a short time.
Looking up at Xia De's back, Xia De, who continued to maintain the Domain, was taller than at any other moment in her eyes.
And what Xia De was looking at at this moment was "Edwards."
Of course he won just now. Yiluna's Chosen One power and her strange sun talent intertwined with his overflowing divinity and silver moon brilliance. The power that burst out was so terrible that even Xia De himself felt it. With just one strike, he completely destroyed the enemy this time.
There was no overly complicated process, nor did he need any complicated calculations. This was a crushing of pure power.
Now the figure of the man wearing the blood-colored robe was gone from the top of the tree canopy. He fell to the wreckage of the banquet hall that still existed and was struggling to get up while leaning on the ground.
The blood-colored tree branches behind him were all broken, and even his right hand and half of his face had disappeared. It was just that the Domain still existed, so even if they were separated by hundreds of meters, the masters of the two Domains could still see each other clearly.
"Do you admit defeat?"
Xia De's voice appeared in his ear. The Diviner shook his head with difficulty:
"You know, I still have power that I haven't used."
Xia De looked at him:
"Are you sure you want to do this? Admit defeat now, and you still have a chance to move toward the future. Once you really use that kind of power, you will have no possibility anymore."
The Diviner knew what he was talking about. The wriggling flesh and blood were recovering his injuries for him, but influenced by the "power of balance," he could not return to the state before that strike after all:
"You let me see that city in the ruins, and you let me determine that there really exists that hidden period of time. And, that time, all possibilities failed."
He coughed up a mouthful of blood:
"So, so I have to try, try the path I chose. Having reached this step, I cannot give up. Even if I die in your hands in a while, I have to verify whether this path is feasible. That future, that doomsday future, is not the future of our world. Civilization must continue to move forward."
A blood-colored vortex appeared beside him. From the vortex fell a black coffin covered with various charms and tied tightly with golden silk threads, but still emitting a terrible aura.
"Envy Edwards."
The Diviner said softly, and then took a card from his pocket.
This was not the set of divination cards he made himself that sealed monsters. This was the angel-level relic 【Poetry Cards】, but the card face was still blank at this time, representing that the relic had not yet summoned the hero of the past.
Up to this point, the five biggest threats learned by Luvia through special divination—Angel Skeleton, Soul Storybook, Time and Space Traveler, Poetry Cards—had all appeared, and only the evil object 【Door in the Bottle】 had not yet appeared.
The Diviner did not act immediately, but looked at Xia De at the top of the clock tower again:
"I know that you and most people will mock my stupidity and paranoia, but some things are destined to be done by someone.
You defeated me, and I saw another possibility displayed on you, so I will also give you a chance. The identity of the Chosen One of Space no longer belongs to me. I will abandon my identity in my own way. God-Caller, let me see more possibilities. This is not a duel between you and me; this is the world choosing the future."
The angel-level relic 【Poetry Cards】 was stabbed directly into his chest by "Edwards," and then the bright red blood thorns extending from behind him pierced the black coffin that was constantly shaking, and also absorbed Envy Edwards, who was completely out of control due to "transcending time and space."
"Body entrusted to my command,
Life attached to your sword.
Hero sung by poetry,
Respond to my call,
I have seen that hidden time and space is not an illusion,
I have seen the vanity after all things return to one;
Declare at this moment
I am you,
You are me."
The power of time urged the "Poetry Cards" to select the hero who was sung in the past time. And the power that went out of control after transcending time and space made the card extend its tentacles to that period of time and space that no one knew about except Xia De and the long-haired Luvia.
He would not have succeeded, because everything was a guess; he would not have been able to call any power belonging to that time, because it no longer existed.
But he saw the phantom when Xia De ascended and knew that all guesses were true; but at this special moment tonight, he called for a miracle to the world as the first candidate for the Chosen One.
Thus, some kind of incomplete echo responded to him in the wreckage of time. After the incantation to activate the relic ended, something that absolutely should not have been summoned truly arrived in this time and space. ===== CHAPTER 1924 =====
