Chapter 2433
The sound of crashing seawater came from all directions, and only after looking up did they discover that seagulls were circling under the azure sky.
The puzzled Miss Ilayse came to the deck from the captain's cabin, and then was surprised to see that the sacrificial grounds were surrounded by an endless expanse of ocean, and the sacrificial grounds seemed to have turned into a small island hanging alone above the sea:
"The world is flooded by the sea... it's a Misuo!"
The sun, which had been hanging high above their heads in the afternoon, had arrived in the east at some point. The rising sun illuminated the gray stone sacrificial ground ruins that had just experienced a great battle, illuminated the ocean with its undulating waves, and also illuminated the ruins of Moon Bay City "sleeping" on the seabed beneath the sea surface.
The people in the sacrificial grounds looked up at the "God-Awakener" who was floating above the sacrificial grounds holding a long staff. He spread his arms as if to embrace the rising morning sun, and as that brilliant sunlight spilled onto him, countless seven-colored bubbles were blown toward the entire world along with the slightly cold sea breeze.
"Misuo · Mermaid Princess."
【Outsider, the Sixth Era does not allow such large-scale time reversal.】
【The forbidden usage time for ordinary time keys is increased by half a month.】
Xia De had already increased the forbidden usage time for time keys by a month in order to bring back that set of "Lion Armor of Light," so adding another half a month was not a big deal.
Or rather, he had reversed the time of an entire city for half a day, and the penalty was only half a month of being unable to use time keys; this was truly a negligible price.
Thus, the seven-colored bubbles drifting from Xia De seemed to have built rainbow bridges on the shimmering waves, and every bubble reflected everything in this world. Emilia even wanted to reach out to catch these bubbles, but discovered that she currently lacked the ability to make them stay for her.
The bubbles emitting seven-colored light soon entered the seawater together, flying toward the city submerged by the ocean.
The bubbles and the shimmering sea surface blurred people's vision, but when that large expanse of rainbow-like bubbles enveloped the entire Moon Bay City, the docks turned back into deep pits, the burning buildings, the clock tower that had disappeared, and the Moon Bay where the earth had been split by several cracks were all recovering to their original state, just like time flowing backward.
Of course, Xia De retained many traces of the strong earthquake and tsunami to make it easier to explain today's events. But at least the Belindell Manor was completely restored by him.
"This is time reversal."
Miss Isabella, who still hadn't left, said softly; she wanted to take one more look at him.
Miss Aurora asked, puzzled:
"But, didn't you say that this era no longer allows mortals to conduct large-scale..."
She stopped her words and, together with the sisters around her, looked up at Xia De, who was bathing in the rising morning sun within the Misuo.
And as Moon Bay City gradually recovered to the appearance it had after experiencing the earthquake and tsunami, the sound of the waves gradually faded away, and the sea surface that had appeared around the sacrificial grounds due to the Misuo disappeared downward bit by bit. The sun returned to the position it should have been in the afternoon, and the seagulls flew from above their heads toward the docks.
People's gazes followed the seagulls to look downward; the azure sea surface shimmered with sparkling light, and the crescent-like coastline dotted the scenery of the West Coast of the Old Continent on this summer afternoon with nice weather.
And on the sea surface, which was being whipped by the wind and crashing against the coastline, the merchant ships and cargo ships traveling to and from Moon Bay Port were densely anchored and scattered throughout the harbor because the ship owners and sailors had received notice to leave the docks.
It was as if everything today had just been a dream.
Ending the Misuo, the short-lived full-power help given by the blessings of the thousands of souls also came to an end. The weak Xia De fell from the sky, and Miss Isabella, who was almost turning into a phantom, walked over quickly to support him. The golden eyes dotted with tear moles were the only color on her at this moment,
She carried a gentle smile:
"Well done, Xia De. I never thought that Moon Bay could still have such a gentle ending."
Lowering her voice slightly:
"Luweiya Anate seems to have noticed me. I mean the one with long hair. I won't talk to her; no, I'm not afraid of her, I just want to talk to you using the last of my time."
Her voice also became blurred; perhaps every time Xia De left those past times, he looked like this in the eyes of his companions:
"Next, there is still the Light-Seeking Seminar; I cannot stay to help you. Are you okay?"
The blonde witch asked, her hair touching Xia De's face.
The weak Xia De looked at the "Radiant Messenger" anchored in the sacrificial grounds:
"No problem."
"That's good, goodbye then, Xia De."
She turned her head to look in Luweiya's direction, but actually made eye contact with the long-haired figure behind her, and then, without caring at all about the gazes of the other witches behind her, she kissed Xia De directly.
And not far behind the two, Ptolemy Albei, who was looking out at Moon Bay—which, although it had experienced a disaster, although it was still drifting with smoke, and although it was still shrouded in glowing fog that hadn't yet dissipated, at least could still continue to exist—lowered his head to look at the "Sword of Light" he was holding.
The blood-colored longsword was now only emitting a faint light. The sword's guard was a pair of curved dragon heads joined together. One side of the blood-colored longsword was a holy emblem surrounded by dense prayers praising the ancient God of Light, and the other side was an engraving of a complete giant dragon.
He stabbed the longsword into the ground in front of him and held up the 【Blood Essence of All Things】 in his left hand:
"Power of the Earth—"
The Chosen Ones all watched him, and the Guardian of the Earth bowed slightly toward him.
"—Blessing of All Things!"
The white light that erupted at that instant from the red stone being held up caused even Xia De to completely lose his vision.
The power of Ptolemy Albei, who inherited the power of the "Ancient God - Dragon of Radiant Light," was far more powerful than the ancient knight who sealed the demon in the Fifth Era and the newborn witch Sherry Knight. Even though he had lost his vision, the massive miracle elements Xia De felt at that moment made him even wonder if the gaze of an Ancient God had been projected here.
Xia De didn't know about others, but he was very sure that he was probably the first to adapt to this pure white light. The resistance he gained after devouring that wisp of "Eternal Light" seemed to also include the characteristic of "bright light not causing blindness."
The world had turned pure white at this moment. Along with the left hand that Mr. Albei held high starting to petrify first and spreading downward to his whole body, in the Moon Bay below, countless drifting souls, under the guidance of countless wisps of white light, returned to those bodies being reshaped by the wriggling soil.
Even those who sacrificed themselves in the sacrificial grounds and on the sea surface, including the Thirteen-Ring Ringed Shushi "Earth Shaker" Mr. Thomas Granger, as long as their souls were not completely shattered or merged into the light, were all summoned back by this miracle of light and earth at this moment.
Only the innocent whose souls were completely shattered by the god's attack, and those citizens whose souls had already melted into the light, could never return.
Souls drifted, and a strange tide formed in Xia De's eyes.
The total number of citizens who died in this "Battle of Moon Bay" therefore returned to the five-digit level. Mr. Albei would not forget to modify people's memories of the events that happened today, so the city's history books in the future would only record that Moon Bay City encountered a once-in-a-millennium earthquake and tsunami on the 10th day of the Month of Flowers, 1854.
When the miracle light that shrouded the entire Moon Bay area dissipated, under the afternoon sun, although Moon Bay after the earthquake still looked more desolate than usual, at least the disaster relief workers could run through the streets, and people in pain could kneel before the collapsed houses and pray for a miracle.
This scene at this moment could actually be considered a miracle.
Miss Isabella, who had originally been kissing Xia De, had already disappeared, and Galina, who was a step faster than everyone else, supported Xia De, who looked very weak after excessive spellcasting. Having continuously burned divinity and fully deployed the Misuo, the Outsider now just wanted to find a place to sleep peacefully, and then go face the messy things after this war.
However, he still cast his gaze toward the direction where the light had erupted just now; Ptolemy Albei's stone statue stood at the edge of the sacrificial grounds, watching the city he protected.
It seemed that everything was over, and even the girls on the ship all came down together, walking toward the people at the edge of the sacrificial grounds.
【But, is it really over?】
"Light is surging."
Dr. Schneider, who was standing with Priest Augustus, who was looking at the stone statue with melancholy and his hands behind his back, suddenly looked around with great suspicion, and then reminded everyone loudly.
His voice had just fallen when the glowing fog in the city below, which had seemed to be gradually dissipating, suddenly gathered toward the city center.
From the air, one could clearly see the flowing fog forming a mark similar to a giant claw above Moon Bay City, and the center where those lights gathered was strikingly the Belindell Big Ben that had just been restored.
Light and fog gathered at the top of the clock tower, then twisted into a stream that continued to rise until it reached a position higher than the sacrificial grounds in the high sky.
The abnormal light containing the power of four-digit souls, along with the gathering of the fog, was gradually compressed into a glowing ball of light in the hands of the laughing Thirteen-Ring Ringed Shushi "Light-Chaser." That ball of light grew larger and larger; after just a few dozen seconds, it turned into the "Light-Chaser" holding the ball of light with both hands, as if holding a pure white sun in the air.
White light spilled over the sacrificial grounds, and everyone in the sacrificial grounds who had experienced everything today looked up at him. That abnormal light seemed to be resisted by the power of the sacrificial grounds themselves, so people did not melt because of it.
And that crazy man said loudly:
"The gods have left, and you are powerless to fight again. The Chosen One of Light sacrificed himself voluntarily; all of this is even better than I thought. This time, it is the victory of the 【Light-Seeking Seminar】!
Light will guide everything, light will melt everything. Next, let me lead you to face the supreme evolution of humanity!"
Yin Luna, who had recovered a little, threw a sunlight spear at him. But the golden thunder was directly melted by those abnormal lights the moment before it was about to hit him.
