Chapter 2407
As she spoke, she was about to cry again. Xia De wanted to help her wipe away her tears, but felt that the action seemed a bit frivolous. Miss Lu Yisha hesitated for a moment, then gathered her courage and asked him:
"Can you let me hug you?"
"Of course, didn't I hug you before I left last time?"
So the witch opened her arms and really hugged Xia De. The firelight of the fireplace projected both their figures onto the moldy wall. The shadows were motionless, and they were also motionless.
After a long time, Miss Lu Yisha let go of Xia De and said softly:
"Sorry, I seem to have lost my composure... I forgot to praise you. The 【Regression Principle】 you used just now was very good. Your talent is even better than I thought."
Her height was only slightly shorter than Xia De's, so she was basically looking at Xia De levelly. Perhaps the first half of the sentence made her feel that she was a bit weak, so she used the second half to try to regain her "dignity."
"I have no future here. All I can do is help you better, so... I will wait for your every arrival."
"I will always come. Oh, I have already found the 【Diamond of Hope】!"
Only then did Xia De remember this matter, feeling that the atmosphere seemed a bit off. But at least the dilapidated home was truly warm at this moment:
"That relic is in the hands of the seventh Chosen One. After I finish my business in Moon Bay, I can borrow it."
Miss Lu Yisha originally wanted to nod with a smile, but she suddenly froze, and then understood everything at once:
"A god is about to descend!"
This was something Xia De already knew, so her saying it didn't count as telling him something that hadn't happened yet.
"So that's why you are so worried... In an era when the True Gods cannot appear, there is no one in the material world who is a match for that god, not even the Luweiya Anate you know."
She looked at Xia De worriedly:
"So that's why you were acting like that today... You told me your story, and I know you can use the power of gods, but Xia De, you shouldn't be able to defeat that god either, right?"
Xia De did not lie:
"That's why I found some helpers. I can't do it alone, so I'll find a few more. Although only the Evil Gods and the five True Gods remain in the Sixth Era, I still have some friendships with a few of those Evil Gods."
The worried expression on her face deepened:
"Although in the very end, even sin can become power, but cooperating with Evil Gods... but even so, is it really enough?"
This was what Xia De had been worried about all along, and since they were talking about this, he could finally say his own thoughts:
"Besides the power of gods, I actually have other means. A Mystery."
"A Mystery is not enough."
She shook her head directly without even thinking:
"Even a single gaze from a god is enough to destroy the unstable space that constitutes a Mystery."
"So it's not an ordinary Mystery. At the end of the Battle of Green Lake, I almost completed a Mystery that shouldn't have appeared: 【Doomsday City, Tobesk】."
Just saying this name, Xia De felt as if he could feel the yellow sand hitting his face.
Miss Lu Yisha felt that she had been surprised enough this time, but she also understood that if he didn't have so many surprising aspects, he wouldn't be enough to be chosen by Luweiya Anate;
"If it's this, although it's not enough to help you fight against a god, the effect it can exert in a divine war might be even stronger than an Unknowable-class relic. It's just... this will bring the power of the doomsday into the era you are in."
Even if she hadn't seen that unformed Mystery, she understood everything just by listening to Xia De's introduction:
"If it's just to defeat that god, it's not worth doing that. I know that the failure of the divine war means the destruction of Moon Bay; I have witnessed this event. But once you use this Mystery, it will have a huge impact on the entire timeline you are in, and then the whole world will have to face the problem."
"So... I have a way to circumvent it."
The topic reached the most critical moment. The witch stared curiously at Xia De, waiting for him to produce a method that would make her feel surprised again, but then she saw Xia De stammering and not speaking, his eyes not daring to look at her, so the clever witch understood.
She smiled gently, the corners of her mouth curling up, her eyebrows slightly curved, and her finger pointed at herself:
"It has to do with me?"
"Yes, I mean, that's right."
Xia De was never an indecisive person. Since he had already said this, he said it directly:
"I have another miracle, 【Mystery: Zhong Lou Lovers】, which, when combined with the miracle 【Love God's Thorn】, can allow me to merge with the girl I... love. At the end of the Battle of Green Lake, I relied on this to merge the powers of the Chosen Ones of Balance, Death, and Space, and only then did I defeat Laplace Howard."
Miss Lu Yisha certainly knew the classic fairy tale "Zhong Lou Lovers." After listening to Xia De's brief description of the Mystery's functions and limitations, she immediately knew his plan:
"If you can merge my power, then you will be a person of both the present and the past at the same time. The contradiction of time will cause 【Doomsday City, Tobesk】 to also fall into a time contradiction. If you in the present use the power of the doomsday, it will bring disaster to the present, but if it is me from the past using it, although it will still inevitably have an impact on your time, this impact can be accepted."
She frowned and thought for a moment, then asked very seriously:
"In other words, your plan is to use this Mystery and the True God Church's Unknowable-class relic to first parley with that god, and then incarnate into a god at the best moment?"
"Yes, because I don't know when the helpers I found will arrive, and I only have one chance to use a Divine Descent."
The arrival of the Blood Duke depends on the completion of the Chosen One ritual, while the arrival of the "Lord of Gluttony" depends on when Desire cooperates.
The blonde witch nodded slowly, even blinking playfully, continuing to look at Xia De:
"So, what was the reason you hesitated and didn't say this just now?"
"I..."
The firelight was still swaying gently, and he saw his own shadow in her eyes, which were close at hand.
"Xia De, do you know? I have never fallen in love with anyone in my life."
Her voice was truly very soft:
"In the process of exploring the mysteries of time, I knew that there is no eternity in this world, and so-called love is nothing but fleeting... That is why I was left alone in this Doomsday Era, quietly waiting for my own end."
"Everything has exceptions. Perhaps I can find a way to get you out of this era."
Xia De said immediately, but Adele Lu Yisha just smiled and shook her head:
"Do you know? I have met all kinds of people in my life, but you are the last person I met, and also the reason that supports me to live on.
I said it when I first met you in this era; I am just a projection at this moment, a power that came to help you with the permission of the Tree Father. The real me is still wandering aimlessly in this yellow sand, huddled in the corner of the ruins of glorious buildings of the past, waiting for your next arrival."
She sniffed;
"I don't know if I love you, Xia De Hamilton; after all, we have only known each other for a few dozen hours, but I like the stories you tell very much, I like... If you are willing, I can let you enter my heart. Not just to keep you vigilant against Luweiya Anate, I also need you."
She hurriedly explained again:
"It's not because you are the only one I can see now, but..."
As she spoke, she blushed herself. "She" beside his ear laughed and urged Xia De to hug the girl in front of him, so Xia De opened his arms and hugged her.
Just now she hugged him, and now he hugged her; the meanings of the two hugs were completely different.
Miss Lu Yisha pursed her lips and rested her head on his shoulder, then suddenly pushed him away. At first, she was too shy to look him in the eyes, but then she boldly leaned her lips toward him.
After a deep kiss, her face was already flushed with shyness:
"It seems Miss Jia Lin Na and the others have really taught you quite a lot."
After finishing, she tilted her head slightly and stopped talking, so Xia De took the initiative to say:
"I will..."
The witch's right finger touched Xia De's lips:
"I don't need any promises from you."
She shook her head slightly:
"What needs to be considered now is what you are facing. I still need conditions to go to your time with my own body. Last time, even in the Council, we didn't have time to say too much."
"I have a way."
Xia De briefly described his Sublimation Words:
"Using the 【Dragon Feast Altar】 as the ritual site, although the Sublimation Words are ineffective for you in this era, I plan to use the 'Philosopher's Stone' for a limit-break casting. This time, the True God Church wants to rely on my power to restrain that Evil God, so the reward they gave me is very generous."
Xia De was actually very worried that Miss Lu Yisha would suddenly say she needed to find some relic to summon her to the modern era. Fortunately, the witch only thought for a moment:
"Limit-break casting, especially when using Sublimation Words, will cause irreversible damage to your body."
"Don't worry, I plan to use the Mystery first, and then summon the god, so that the god-summoning stage can heal myself."
Xia De said with a smile, and Miss Lu Yisha also smiled:
"That sounds feasible. After you leave this time, I will also prepare to respond to your call. As long as the echoes of shaking space-time can reach me, even if you can't pull me over, I can go over myself after establishing a time coordinate.
In the Fifth Era, when the Tree Father's restrictions were not so strict, the Witch Emperors already had the ability to explore the future. And in the current era, those scattered materials, relics, and ritual sites are all ownerless things. Xia De, I'll wait for you."
The Outlander nodded gently:
"Then Miss Lu Yisha..."
"Please call me 'Adele'."
"Okay, Adele... I'm afraid I'll call you that even after I see you in the present."
Xia De said, and the witch in front of him smiled again:
"Don't worry, I don't mind."
But Xia De was worried that the "Adele Lu Yisha" would mind.
