Chapter 3559: Frozen Destiny
After thinking about what he was going to do, Xia De drank the potion that tasted good, and then felt a familiar trance. But his soul today is far stronger than when he was an ordinary person, and his soul did not produce a sense of alienation from his body because of this.
Only behind him, a layer of faint steam mist had emerged because of the effect of the "Bell-Ringing Potion." Xia De then summoned his Ring of Life facing the snow mountain under the sunset. The girls saw the huge Ring of Life spinning behind him, and when the thick steam mist overlapped with the steam mist that appeared because of drinking the potion, Xia De said in his heart:
"Help me resonate."
"She" still just smiled gently, gentler than the evening glow in winter.
Thus, the girls on the shore saw silver light shadows appear behind Xia De, but before they could see the shadow clearly, the thick steam mist surrounding the Ring of Life spread to the entire surface of the ice lake in an instant.
This is also the technique that Luvia told Xia De in the last divination before she left. In this way, the entire ice lake was included in the influence of Xia De's soul power.
And in that steam mist, the flames flowed along Xia De's raised right hand towards his Ring of Life. After the spinning brass color was ignited by the flames, in the eyes of the girls on the shore, it looked like a bright big fireball appeared in the mist.
"After lighting the fire is pushing..."
The drinking of the "Bell-Ringing Potion" allowed him to control the Ring of Life to the greatest extent to perform some precise operations. So the raised right hand was rippling with a layer of silver light shadow at this moment, and "She" and he seemed to be holding up the burning Ring of Life together in the mist, and as Xia De's hand slapped down, the Ring of Life wrapped in primordial fire smashed towards the ice lake like a meteorite.
"The snake is destiny, the impossible destiny is the error, this is the 'wrong Ring of Destiny'."
【The snake is destiny, the impossible destiny is the error, this is the 'wrong Ring of Destiny'.】
Bang!
The crimson light collided with the ice surface in the mist, like a giant hammer swinging down. At this moment, the girls by the lake all felt their souls vibrating because of the collision. This was Xia De truly touching destiny with his soul power. The sensitive Claire even felt that the snow mountain seemed to tremble.
And Xia De's feeling was the most real at this moment. Destiny was truly touched by his soul. Even if what was under his feet was the disaster of destiny, it was still destiny. The Ring of Life wrapped in primordial fire made him feel why the Ring of Life was considered "a part of the Ringed Shushi's destiny," and at the moment when the Ring of Life collided with the ice surface, he waved his hand downwards, and he felt the feeling of absorbing divinity again in a hazy way.
"She" is really with him.
【The stories of the past have long become legends, and the heroes who forged destiny with themselves have long disappeared. Destiny cannot be disobeyed, but no one truly knows destiny. Huang Tong and flames forged the Ring of Destiny for you, but outsider, you must know that no one can control destiny.】
【Outsider, you have some insights into "destiny."】
"Hmm... no spiritual runes, and no new miracles?"
【Outsider, your miracle "Destiny Handbook" has added a characteristic: You can perceive and identify any frozen destiny.】
The thick fog covering the lake gathered towards the center and disappeared quickly. The girls were curious about the situation at this moment. And when the sunset sprinkled again, they saw Xia De still raising his right hand in the center of the ice lake.
At this moment, the Ring of Life had also disappeared. His raised right hand seemed to overlap with the dim yellow sun on the side of the mountain, and in front of the falling sun, he clearly held a black arc in his hand. The color was shockingly black, and the deep light seemed to be able to swallow the sun's light in front of the sun.
Although it looked like only a small section, in the eyes of the great witches, Xia De was clearly holding incomparably heavy power at this moment.
"Success."
Claire said softly, and then raised her hand to throw a fireball at the ice surface not far away. The fireball successfully shattered the ice layer. The "infinite snake" really turned into another form by Xia De.
The arc in Xia De's hand looked like it was split from a complete ring. After he held the middle part with his hand, the tail ends bending upwards to both sides were not smooth.
He slowly retracted his right arm in the sunset, stared at the thing in his hand for a while, and then walked towards the people waiting for him on the shore:
"This is not complete destiny, so it didn't form a complete ring. But the Starfall Beast and even the main body of 'Mr. Snake' should be a complete ring... or, this snake hasn't evolved enough to form a complete ring. If the infinite snake is left alone, it gets more destiny, and the arc will be more complete."
He stretched out his hand so that everyone could see the arc emitting black light. The material of the black arc looked like crystal at first glance, and even faint light spots could be seen in it. But when Xia De brought it closer, whether it was a witch or an elf, they felt a sense of instinctive fear when staring at it, as if they were staring at some unspeakable evil thing.
"Is this destiny? I have an instinctive fear, and my body and soul are resisting me touching this thing."
Claire said, as for the little unicorns, they who usually liked Xia De even subconsciously avoided him. Ellie had the courage to overcome the fear and walked two steps towards Xia De, but was soon dragged back by Little Liana.
This is indeed not something others should touch:
"This is the disaster of destiny. Its essence is the same as the filth of the earth, abnormal light, chaotic space, and strange tree holes. They are all things that should not exist. I can touch it, just because..."
His right hand holding the arc faintly emitted purple light. That is "noble destiny," but it seems that Claire and the others can't see that layer of color. And at this moment, after the "Destiny Handbook" gained new characteristics, he looked at the "destiny" shared by Luvia, and clearly felt that the purple on the back of his hand was half a ring.
But this is definitely not an ordinary Ring of Destiny. Recalling carefully, even the feeling that Mr. Snake brought him was not as strange as this half ring:
"If noble destiny is also some kind of special ring, then the last exchange in the Ancient God Temple, the miracle ring exchanged for all points, is it also a kind of Ring of Destiny?"
"If multiple infinite snakes are turned into arcs and then assembled, can they become a complete ring?"
Emilia, who has whimsical ideas, doesn't know Xia De's thoughts at this moment, but asks curiously, and looks at the thing in Xia De's hand with great awe. The chosen one of time understands better than others how terrible this thing is.
Xia De moved his gaze from the back of his hand:
"It should be possible. I even suspect that once two infinite snakes meet, they can immediately merge with each other. And if the 'wrong Ring of Destiny' is really born... well, I don't know what will happen, but it's best not to have that situation."
"Then what can this arc do?"
Megan asked curiously. If it weren't for the instinctive feeling of danger, she would even want to touch it.
"The simplest usage—embed it in the body. Even if it is not a complete ring, it still has the power to guide destiny. But this is a wrong ring. Doing so is likely to cause oneself to become an infinite snake, or even more bizarre situations.
As for whether it is the person controlling the power or the snake controlling the power at that time, it's hard to say. But if someone really does this, I'm afraid their soul will never have a chance to go on."
Xia De naturally wouldn't do this:
"You may have noticed that although this thing looks terrifying, its nature is relatively stable compared to the 'infinite snake' in the unactivated state. So turning it into an arc should be considered a reasonable containment method.
Next, whether it is sealed or other methods, it can be handled relatively steadily."
"Then why not just crush it?"
Megan asked again, Xia De looked at the black arc in his hand:
"Whether it is an unactivated infinite snake or an activated infinite snake, its essence is a phenomenon produced by wrong destiny, which can be completely eliminated under specific circumstances. This is the same as the Starfall Beast can be eliminated. But what I am holding is forged destiny. How can destiny be eliminated?"
Claire was very puzzled:
"So, you turned the infinite snake into this state, but it is indestructible?"
"No, there must be some way to destroy it. But it is not a bad thing for the infinite snake to become like this. A region cannot have two identical destinies. Destiny is an abstract concept, and concepts will not be repeated.
So the area where this arc exists will not produce infinite snakes. The destiny of the Starfall Beast can affect the entire Starfall Bay, while the influence area of this arc is probably only a few hundred meters."
Emilia's eyes lit up:
"If you capture enough infinite snakes and pave the whole world... well, if there are really so many infinite snakes, this world would have been saved long ago. If it is not destroyed by snakes, it will be destroyed by other things."
Xia De looked at the thing in his hand with a serious expression:
"The wrong Ring of Destiny is relatively stable, and the area where it is located will not naturally produce a second infinite snake. These are two characteristics. In addition, once it is shattered, the dice obtained will be more than in normal circumstances."
Emilia then realized:
"Yes, I have no harvest from dealing with this snake."
"Because it hasn't been eliminated yet. After knowing the concepts of rings and ring beasts, we know that the dice produced by infinite snakes are essentially scraps left after rings or arcs are shattered, which is tiny destiny. But now it has been forged, and the traces left after shattering are definitely more."
"Since it is not easily damaged, can it be made into a weapon?"
Claire asked again, Xia De shook his head cautiously:
"It's best not to do this. After all, it is only relatively stable. It does have extraordinary power. Even without letting it be embedded in the body, just holding it, I can feel my miracle 【Black Moon Mark】 being greatly enhanced, and the effects of the cards I hold that can use miracles are also enhanced.
But the power of disaster should not be used. Remember the thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi 'Light Chaser' of the 【Light Chaser Club】? At the end of the Battle of Moon Bay, he used the special light that melted most of the city to sublimate himself into a 'Prayer of Light,' and in the end, he was pierced by Sister Feilian with an arrow, and even his soul was not left."
"Light Chaser" and Laplace Howard are also the only two thirteen-ring Ringed Shushi who have clearly died in the material world since the summer of 1853... Xia De very much hopes that "Bloody One" will become the third. ===== CHAPTER 3560 =====
