Chapter 2969

The sharp-eared elf with golden hair patted her hands and stood up:

"Let's go. Although it's not dawn yet, the weather is not bad today. How about we walk around?"

The moas were still eating breakfast under the tree and didn't follow, but little Liana raised its head to look at the two figures walking away illuminated by the pure silver ball of light, and still followed with brisk steps. Of course, the pure white little beast tried its best to avoid getting close to the side of Xia De's shoulder where the cat was.

"I can guess the reason you came to find me. The final battle is about to begin, right?"

She still knew everything. Xia De walked side by side with her and turned to look at the elf's profile:

"Yes, the window for the Chosen One ritual is only three days. Emilia, by now, I think you should tell me something, right?"

"For example?"

"For example, what kind of power can you exert?"

"I am an Eighth-Tier Shushi, which you know. Besides that..."

She turned to Xia De with a smile:

"I know what you want to ask, but sorry, I won't join you at the beginning of tomorrow night's final battle."

"When will you wait until?"

"Wait on the ship until only the first two candidates are left."

Which meant only Emilia and that Ancient One remained.

Xia De nodded gently without asking the reason for doing so. The elf girl had a more important task tomorrow night. He probably knew where the little elf's transformation point was.

The golden-haired elf continued with her hands behind her back:

"Although I won't face those enemies with you, I know a lot about tomorrow night's opponents.

The solidified time of the time transit station can be broken; I can teach that little elf a unique miracle. The immortality of the Paradox Worm Keeper can also be solved, which you have already found a way to do. As for the 'Clockmaker', although she is a genuine Thirteenth-Tier Shushi, among all the challenges tomorrow night, she is actually the easiest one to deal with."

"Yes, besides the talent for time, she is just a Thirteenth-Tier Shushi. Now Vanessa already has enough time resistance, and in the case of both being Thirteenth-Tier, we have more people, so the 'Clockmaker' is indeed the smallest trouble."

The two were now heading toward the hot spring that the witches named "Moon Sanctuary", because it was actually very close to the elf girl's tree house, so the silver moonlight could already be seen at this time.

Xia De continued to ask:

"Since you will join us at the end, what about afterward? The battle of time will eventually have a winner. Does Emilia have a way to defeat that Ancient One?"

"That is an opponent that even you don't have the confidence to defeat, and Emilia Sinod can't either."

The elf girl continued to shake her head with a smile. She looked down at the snow under her feet:

"I know many stories, but the things I know only go up to that point and then stop. Even the Chosen One of time doesn't dare to say that he knows everything about the past and the future. Besides, hasn't Bennett's story already explained it well? Sometimes it's better for the future to be uncertain."

"Are you talking about the fact that Thomas Bennett knew the date of his wife's death?"

Xia De asked, also very curious about what the elf girl thought about "time".

"Yes, only when we face an unknown future will we yearn for the things we might be able to obtain through hard work. If the future is all known and cannot be changed, it's like being forced to pay to watch a play after having read the script of a bad opera in advance."

She gave a very good metaphor:

"I believe Thomas Bennett's love for his wife is real, but I also believe that every time he felt happy over the years, he would have corresponding fear. Fear of that destined day, fear of the days after losing her.

Mastering time does not mean knowing everything. I stand in the 'present', look back at the 'past', and yearn for the 'future'. That is enough. The Chosen One is not a god, and the Chosen One of time is not time itself, so one should still have some awe for time."

Xia De stopped:

"But we still don't know how to defeat that Ancient One."

The elf shook her head gently:

"I really don't know the answer."

So what Xia De could look forward to was only finding that drop of divinity during the final battle. The oracle of the Orthodox God and the guidance of the Archangel each gave part of the answer. He was now almost certain that the drop of divinity was in the wreckage of the World Tree, and it was highly likely to be the divinity that originally belonged to the Tree Father.

Having found that drop of divinity, even if he couldn't defeat that Ancient One in the "divinity overflow" state, he would just burn the divinity and transform into a god. Although Xia De had always thought that he shouldn't burn divinity at will when the opponent was not an evil god, after all, in order to complete his path of twelve divinities to godhood, he still needed a lot of divinity.

But this time he planned to change his principle. This time, even if he used up all the divinity he had accumulated so far, he must protect the elf who trusted him so much.

After taking a walk near the hot spring with the elf girl, Xia De planned to set off to return to Tobesk City. And the elf girl promised to appear on the Glorious Messenger tonight to discuss the plan with everyone. Even if she didn't participate in the battle, she could still give many effective suggestions.

And Xia De, who returned home with the cat, didn't stay at home for long, and then took a carriage at the street corner of the square to the Dawn Church.

It was already 10:00 AM, but the stars and the three moons were still hanging high in the sky. Xia De and Priest Augustus also discussed this matter when they met, but this kind of thing was not something they could solve.

"Priest, the final battle of Vesta Woodland is expected to take place on Saturday night."

In the old priest's basement potion workshop, Xia De briefly told the series of things that had happened recently:

"I think this time I'm afraid you need to go to Vesta Woodland."

"No problem, I said from the beginning that I could go to help, but what specifically do I need to do?"

"It's like this, you see your power of death, can it defeat the wreckage of the World Tree?"

Hearing Xia De ask such a question, the old priest sitting on the high stool leaned back slightly:

"This... although I can help, this is a bit beyond my ability."

He was afraid that Xia De would make more strange requests, so he pointed to himself and said:

"I just promoted to Fifth-Tier, but because of the eyes you found some time ago, I can now do things that normal Ringed Shushi cannot understand. You can understand it this way: the power of the Initial Angel - Death Angel has begun to appear initially.

The powers of death in the past were all just superficial, and what I can do, others can also do, but now only this thing is something only I can do - I can directly send something to the final death.

It can be life, it can be an object, or even some kind of concept. Once I do this, the other party will never come back. I even suspect that unless a god of the death lineage takes action, even other gods cannot find back the things I sent away."

What he said was indeed a bit too exaggerated, but Xia De knew that Priest Augustus had always been a very cautious person. However, the Outsider didn't immediately care about who this special ability could be applied to now, he asked worriedly:

"This sounds like power not for normal people. Priest, if you really do this, what price will you pay?"

The old priest waved his hand indifferently:

"You don't need to worry about this. The remains you found of course didn't just open this ability for me. Using this power will make me weak for a long time. It of course cannot be used often, but besides that, there is nothing."

"It's just that now I have only initially touched this authority that might be bestowed upon an angel by an ancient god, so it is impossible to take effect on the Ancient One you mentioned."

Xia De then considered for a moment:

"The situation this time is very troublesome, Priest. I'm afraid your power really needs to be used... Can it take effect on evil things of the Paradox Worm type?"

The priest nodded firmly:

"That kind of evil thing that has existed for tens of thousands of years definitely won't work, but if it's a worm born in the last thousand years, it should be possible."

"This power shouldn't be able to directly erase the concept of 'Paradox Worm' now, right? Oh, you don't need to answer, I know it can't. Then can this power only take effect on a single body?"

This time the priest gave good news:

"Of course it can take effect in a range."

"Then can it send away thousands of worms at once?"

Xia De asked again full of hope, and then met the old priest's helpless expression:

"Let me put it this way, as far as I can do now, I can help you solve double-digit worms at once. And how many evil things it can take effect on depends on the power level of those individuals."

But this was already very remarkable. You must know that when Xia De first entered Vesta Woodland, in order to deal with the Paradox Worm, Adele of the past and Miss Isabella of the present had to work together.

Now, although because everyone gradually mastered the characteristics of this evil thing, this worm was no longer invincible, but sending away double-digit worms at once was still very remarkable.

The priest's power was equivalent to giving Xia De a special "steam bomb" on the night of the final battle. Although the scope of influence and destructive power after the bomb exploded were not yet certain, at least Xia De knew that the upper limit of the bomb's destructive power was very high.

"Tomorrow night is the final battle, Priest. How do you plan to go to Vesta Woodland? If you use a relic, we will agree on the time."

He planned to go to Miss Danister to borrow a relic from the Academy, but the old priest shook his head again:

"If I only use this power, I don't need to go to Vesta Woodland. Remote casting is also possible. This is not a miracle, this is the authority belonging to the Death Angel. And once this power is used, I will immediately be very weak, and I won't be able to help afterward, so it's better to stay here."

Xia De had no opinion on this:

"Then I'll trouble you. This is better. Not in the forest, the Ancient One in the forest won't be able to predict what I'm going to do... Then how can I contact you to determine the specific timing of casting?"
