Chapter 1924: The Disqualified Candidate and the Final Method
Whether a miracle descended because of this, even "Edwards" himself could not say clearly. Because what appeared with the call was a black shadow whose face was not clear.
"Edwards" could not distinguish who this was, and did not know if this was truly himself from that period of time that had already disappeared.
But the blood-colored thorns behind him still pierced out, absorbing the black shadow summoned by the relic into his own body.
The familiar bloodline became a part of himself. That black shadow was truly a member of the Edwards family, even an "Edwards" who possessed a more complete bloodline than him. The strange and twisted power allowed him to rise from the wreckage of the banquet hall to the sky again. The robe that was stained with blood due to the battle became pitch black, but all the injuries on his body were recovered because of this:
"So that's it. The past present, I really succeeded once..."
The starry sky disappeared, the moon disappeared, the falling snow disappeared, and even the blood mist disappeared. Only the yellow sand filling the sky still existed. A twisted black vortex appeared in the pitch-black night sky. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of glass shattering that made all Ring Warlocks below the high ring almost faint, the space above the island shattered.
Outside this island on the back of the material world, in the Green Lake area of the real world with vast mist, the Ring Warlocks also heard this shattering sound. Then, directly above the central island of Green Lake, the deep darkness was broken like a mirror surface. A huge vortex appeared in the sky, and suction appeared. The diffusing white mist was the first to fly toward the void vortex, followed by the lake water, and then the dust and fallen leaves on the land. The suction was slowly increasing, and the vortex was expanding rapidly.
"He gathered 16 family members?"
"He lost his qualification. He understands that doing this will lose his qualification."
The same scene also happened above Green Island, or rather, in the two intertwined Domains. The black vortex expanded above "Edwards'" head, and the suction seemed to want to swallow everything.
Yiluna said softly behind Xia De, having barely managed to stand up while leaning on the pillar on the side of the clock tower. Sweat dampened her hair, and the side of her brown long hair stuck to her face, making her look exceptionally haggard:
"He violated the rules. The Chosen One cannot harm this world. He called for some kind of disaster; he completely shattered the balance of space. Although he is still alive, although he gathered 16 family members, he was abandoned, just as death abandoned Joey Barton. The first candidate for the Chosen One of Space does not exist... I feel that the balance has been completely broken, and the out-of-control space is destroying the Green Lake area. We must take action as soon as possible; otherwise, the disaster of spatial collapse will completely descend on the material world tonight."
She bit her lip, knowing that Xia De was also facing a difficult choice:
"The first candidate was abandoned by the world, and part of the second candidate has died. Now it's your butterfly's turn, Xia De. If this is their fate, then fate has already come before them. If you still want to reverse this fate, prove it to me; what other method do you have? If you have no method, let me try."
She wanted to use her balance talent to temporarily stabilize the shattered space, but after moving her body, she felt soreness all over.
Xia De hurriedly supported her:
"Yiluna, you have done very well tonight."
"Then how are you going to choose?"
Supported by Xia De, she widened her eyes and looked at him:
"Me, or are you finally willing to believe in their power? Or, are you going to be a hero again, preparing to sacrifice yourself?"
"I understand, I understand everything."
He pulled off the silver ornament inlaid with the "Philosopher's Stone" from his chest, and according to the knowledge on the copper bell brought out from the "Black Mist Camp," the Spirit in his body guided the Philosopher's Stone to become a spell-casting material. The dazzling red light slowly melted the fingernail-sized stone. Then, the pink crystal thorn appeared in Xia De's hand, but because of the addition of the "Philosopher's Stone," it turned red.
Xia De had originally wanted to avoid such a result, but he had also prepared a backup plan. Now, things had indeed reached the final step, and he also had to try this method whose result he could not know.
"They..."
He had originally wanted to borrow the power of the Domain to bring the right people to the right place. But he unexpectedly found that everyone had arrived. Xia De had never revealed his plan in advance, but it seemed that they had already known such a result, as if they had been waiting for this moment, waiting for Xia De to make a decision.
At the top of the blood-colored giant tree a thousand meters away, "Edwards" floated under the huge vortex that was emitting gravity, waiting for Xia De's arrival.
Even though the consumption of the spell just now was entirely borne by Yiluna, this massive Domain was also about to disappear because of the end of the "divinity overflow" state. So, Xia De knew he only had one chance.
"Although I know Edwards will definitely do something very surprising, isn't this a bit too much?"
At the base of the blood-red giant tree, in front of the old Edwards house, Luvia, Megan, Helen, and Grace, who had disguised their appearances with red butterflies, met Princess Lei Qianya, Dorothy, and Angelina, who were with Miss Danister.
Although a bit surprised that little Mia and Angelina were here, Luvia knew that now was not the time to ask.
"Do you know what you need to do?"
The pitch-black sky seemed as if doomsday had arrived, and the wild wind made hair and skirts sway frantically. She asked Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya loudly, and the two smiled and held hands:
"We didn't know just now, but now that we see you, we know. Ten minutes ago, we went through another test. After finally making up our minds to give up the plan of merging with each other, the angle from which we look at this world seems to be different from the original. We are not diviners, but at that moment we saw fate. So that's how it is. His idea is really strange. If it's like this, it's also good, also good..."
Grace and Helen walked to their side, the sisters also holding hands. The four looked at each other, their expressions very similar.
"Actually, I am very happy that he finally made such a decision."
Princess Lei Qianya said softly:
"This means that he finally fully trusted us, instead of just treating us as butterflies carefully protected by him in a birdcage."
"Mr. is actually not good at expressing feelings; he is just afraid of losing."
Grace in the white dress said, and Dorothy nodded lightly:
"But he didn't think that he is afraid of losing, and we are also afraid of losing."
Helen in the black dress straightened her chest slightly, her peripheral vision catching Angelina comparing her height and body shape:
"This is the best result, but Mr. thinks this is the worst. If we were just to jump out of the vortex of fate, why have we been looking for his traces in that long time?"
"Laplace Klein Howard, do you know what you are doing?"
On the small hill road leading to the old Green Lake house, with a roar, more figures appeared in the wild wind. Witches, 13th-Ring Ring Warlocks of the Church, Academy professors, and a few high-ring Ring Warlocks from other organizations stood together, jointly casting spells to withstand the wild wind and suction. The professors of the academy were quite curious why Miss Danister, who had left in advance, had arrived here faster than them. But then, they saw the others standing here.
It was just that there was no time to understand the situation here. The Ring Warlocks who had finally crossed half the island to reach this place rose into the sky one after another, hoping to contain "Edwards," who seemed to be standing blankly under the vortex, before the "God-Caller" took action.
It was just that the diviner at the top of the giant tree did not even make a move himself; his body split into several identical figures, intercepting them in mid-air.
"Miracle - Time Tracking. Split your own time, call for yourself a few seconds in the past. Extremely dangerous, cannot be used in the Sixth Era, otherwise it will trigger chaos in time."
This information appeared in Luvia's heart very naturally, but she did not know why she was so familiar with this miracle, as if she had used such power herself.
"What other method does Xia De have? If it really doesn't work, we can only risk using the Unknown-level relic. But will this make the situation worse or better? No one can predict the consequences."
Miss Danister did not rise into the sky, but asked Luvia seriously. Luvia shook her head in surprise:
"Xia De? Who are you talking about?"
The 13th-Ring female warlock looked at the cat being held. The cat was huddled in Angelina's arms to avoid the wild wind:
"Don't tell me this isn't Xia De Hamilton's cat."
"Meow~"
Hearing Xia De's name mentioned, the cat immediately meowed. Megan had originally wanted to explain for Xia De, but looked up at the sky again, a smile appearing on the corner of her mouth:
"Don't worry, the God-Caller has taken action."
Borrowing the power of the Domain, Xia De flew alone from the clock tower/lighthouse in the south toward the top of the giant tree located in the center of the island again. Compared with other 13th-Ring Warlocks who were fighting fiercely, he looked exceptionally lonely, and he had long since lost the high spirits when he merged with Yiluna after using the Domain to learn the Edwards Ascension Technique just now.
Suddenly, a red light fell from his hand toward the crowd in front of the old house, but it stopped abruptly before landing and was casually caught by Luvia.
She carefully held the "weapon" in her hand and held it up toward the two pairs of sisters standing together.
The shape of the crystal thorn was the appearance of the "Thorn of Love" they were very familiar with. It was just that the short thorn was no longer the ambiguous pink that made the heart beat faster, but had turned into a bright red like blood.
Even Miss Danister, who was well-informed, could not identify what this was at the first time.
And Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya, Helen and Grace looked at each other and smiled. Megan stood on the side, widening her eyes suddenly, as if she understood something. ===== CHAPTER 1925 =====
