Chapter 3056: He and She Before the Doomsday Crack

"Why would you think that?"

Xia De, who was holding the cat, subconsciously took a step back because of his guilty conscience, so the ship girl smiled and took a step forward:

"Since you don't admit it, do you need me to guess now how Miss Olanode advanced to a demigod?"

Xia De was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, so the blue-eyed girl laughed even more happily. She stretched out her finger and tapped Xia De's chest, the force was really very light:

"I know what you want to know, but some things cannot be told to you for the time being. However, I can reveal a little bit; you will find a way soon, Master~"

"Why use this form of address? Soon..."

Xia De understood immediately:

"Is it really the door grown from that seed? Does the true 【Corridor of Time】 allow me to reach the past without a specific key?"

The reward given by the Tree Father included how to let Xia De visit Adele again, and the method was related to that seed that could grow a door. Then, since visiting Adele in the "past" could be done, visiting Blaney in the "normal" past could naturally be done too.

"This is what you thought of yourself; I didn't say anything."

The blue-eyed ship girl said with a smile, and then leaned forward slightly and kissed him gently:

"This is the reward for me."

"Did Teacher Feilianna and Miss Violet give you any tasks that made you travel through such a long time to come to the present?"

Xia De asked again, and the ship girl's expression was very gentle:

"Yes, my task is to take care of you on their behalf."

She opened her arms and hugged Xia De gently, until she put her head on his shoulder:

"The demigod witches didn't give me a reward; they said I could take whatever reward I wanted... then are you willing to give me a kiss, Master?"

"Of course I can, but I actually don't like others calling me Master."

"Miss Tifa Servet and Miss Matilda Ellington call you this; don't you like it either?"

It seemed she indeed knew everything that happened on the ship.

"Let's not talk about this... what kind of kiss do you want?"

Facts proved that although the ship girl's race was unknown, at least in terms of kissing, there was no major difference from ordinary human girls. However, after this kiss, she claimed that her chest felt a bit stuffy and invited Xia De to check it. Xia De, who was worried, then checked it and finally concluded that she should be fine.

As the sun rose from the horizon, the winter sunlight shone on the woodlands after the snow stopped. The city that had gone through a real war in the long night had lifted the state of martial law. The church had to find a way to explain the explosions that kept coming from above the city at night and the damage to buildings in the city and the deaths of citizens. Instead, the fact that time inexplicably disappeared for a day did not need them to worry too much—the power of the World Tree made everything very reasonable, and ordinary people in the long night did not have the ability to discover that a day was missing from their lives.

Of course, these had nothing to do with Xia De for the time being. After kissing Miss Ilesser goodbye, Miss Bell sent news that the church had learned that the "God Summoner" now had the ability to seal "twisted" tree holes.

They were of course very willing to let the "God Summoner" handle these troublesome items, and were also willing to agree to the "God Summoner's" request regarding the Bennett family. The danger level of "twisted tree holes" was basically higher than that of Keeper-level relics, so it was good to be able to properly contain them.

However, the Orthodox Church did not want to bother the "God Summoner" too much, so they planned to use two days to concentrate the tree holes found in the Vesta Woodlands and all over the material world, and then let the "God Summoner" handle them all at once.

This of course also met Xia De's ideas, but there was only one tree hole that had to be handled now.

At 10:00 on this Monday morning, when Xia De walked into the black mausoleum building in the center of White Ape Canyon alone, he found that Iluna had indeed arrived. The temperature inside the black building was much lower than in the woodlands, and there were no lights inside. After the eighteen-year-old girl summoned light, she was standing under the platform in the center of the building, looking up at the state of the crack at this time.

The tree roots that had been used to bind and seal the crack when he left last time had all disappeared with the departure of the Ancient One, but because the sealing power left by Emilia at that time was still there, the crack had not continued to expand for the time being.

This was also the reason why Iluna could stand in front of the crack without being affected. Of course, after experiencing the Battle of the Vesta Woodlands, Iluna's time resistance had reached the strongest state in the material world except for Xia De, Luweiya, and Emilia.

"Iluna, didn't you go to rest?"

Xia De asked in a relaxed tone, and Iluna turned around and complained:

"After leaving the Wang Zuo Land, I slept for four hours, got up and had breakfast at the church, and asked about the situation in the city. I originally wanted to take the initiative to act as a liaison and go to the ship to visit you, but I was directly sent to assist you in handling this crack."

It could be seen that although her spirit had recovered quite well after a sleep, she was still a bit tired compared to her normal state:

"Looking at you, your spirit is very good, so everyone else is fine, right?"

"All fine. We plan to hold a banquet on the ship tonight. If you have time, come together."

Xia De said and had already walked to Iluna, then hugged her gently. The eighteen-year-old girl showed a smile at the corner of her mouth and hugged Xia De actively, not wanting to let go. She considered herself much bolder than the little princess and Emilia who had returned to her original state:

"I will try my best to attend. Too many things happened in this war, and I haven't figured it out yet. But in any case, Xia De, we won this time!"

Although he hadn't tried it yet, Xia De was very confident in using 【Crystal Light】 to seal ordinary time cracks and twisted tree holes, but he still had some concerns about the doomsday crack.

Not to mention that 【Elf Kingship】 and 【Flute of Time】 had been taken back to St. Byrons in the Far North by Emilia, and 【Key of Yggdrasil】 had just been taken away by the long-haired Luweiya for an "upgrade." So he only brought 【Night Watcher】 inserted in the scabbard this time. This silver sword, which was usually used as his main weapon, did not play much of a role in this decisive battle.

Iluna and Xia De walked side by side onto the platform and arrived in front of the crack that was only as long as Xia De's forearm. Dim yellow light seeped out from the crack, but no matter what, they could not see what was behind the crack from their position.

"Even if it cannot be sealed, there shouldn't be any more troublesome things, right?"

Iluna asked softly, reaching out to grab the life ring that appeared behind her. When she brought it to her front, the life ring had turned into that dark golden scale.

"It shouldn't... speaking of which, can you still turn the life ring into a 'Sunlight Spear' now?"

Xia De was not present when Iluna turned her life ring into a long spear after seeing something from the eyes of the Great Elf, but he saw Iluna show off her skills after he and the "Moon Maidens" arrived later.

"I can, but the consumption is far greater than turning into a scale. Turning the life ring into a scale is as simple as controlling my own hands and feet for me. When I communicated with Sister Daifulin, the Guardian of the Earth, Duoluoxi, and the others, they were the same. But turning the life ring into a Sunlight Spear, just the process of deformation consumes half of my spirit."

She said so, but did not give a more detailed explanation. She wanted to wait until she could sit with Luweiya and Xia De like before to discuss this matter.

Xia De had also summoned his life ring at this time. While the spirit rune symbolizing his eternal obsession was shining with spiritual light, he held the silver sword hilt with both hands and pointed the sword tip at the crack:

"Miracle - Crystal Light!"

A rustling sound came, as if the light itself was crystallizing. Iluna saw the dim yellow crystals spreading from the sword tip of 【Night Watcher】 toward the top and bottom of the crack, and in less than half a minute, it completely blocked the crack:

"This is... success? I can hardly feel the power of this crack."

Xia De, who took back his long sword, had a very serious expression:

"The crystals on the Crystal Wang Zuo are white and translucent, but the crystals here have taken on the color of doomsday. Although I feel that this crack has been sealed by me, this color means that the power of doomsday is still permeating... it should be considered sealed. However, for safety, this black building left by the witch of the Fifth Era must still be repaired and strictly guarded."

"There are still many things that need to be guarded in the Vesta Woodlands now, so one more building is nothing."

Iluna resisted the urge to yawn, knowing that the matter here was temporarily resolved:

"Xia De, then do you need to handle other things today?"

"Not for the time being. Is there anything you need my help with?"

The brown-haired girl showed a cunning expression:

"I'm afraid that after I leave here in a while, they will arrange other work for me again, so I want to take a nap here... can you accompany me?"

At this moment, the Outsider suddenly realized that Iluna was only eighteen years old, and the responsibilities she had been carrying were too heavy. She had never complained to him and Luweiya about anything, but the fatigue occasionally revealed was enough to show that she was not completely indifferent to these things.

【She looks like she just wants to spend more time with you.】

"You saying that will make me feel more guilty."

He didn't move a small bed, but walked forward a few steps and sat down on the highest step of the platform. After patting his legs, Iluna came to his side, rested her head on Xia De's legs, and closed her eyes with a blush.

She was indeed somewhat drowsy. Feeling Xia De cover her with a warm blanket and pull her waist into his embrace, Iluna drifted into a deep sleep amidst this sense of security.
