Chapter 3564
"This method is definitely useful for arcs, but I don't know about a complete ring."
Xia De said:
"So if possible, I still hope to find a way to shatter the Ring of Destiny. Even if it's not smashing it to pieces, turning it into individual arcs would be fine. Refining the Ring of Destiny, shattering the Ring of Destiny, forging the Blade of Destiny, and destroying the Ring of Destiny—these are the four important processes. We have only mastered refining and forging; shattering and destroying are still unclear."
Then Flora laughed:
"Wanting to destroy destiny, isn't that very simple?"
"Simple?"
Vanessa looked at her. At this moment, the group had already returned from the furnace area to the council's round table:
"You haven't inherited some secret, have you? But isn't the Great Witch of Death responsible for monitoring whether council members are alive and guarding the cemetery... funerary items?"
"Of course not, what are you thinking?"
Flora denied:
"I mean, wanting to shatter the Ring of Destiny is essentially destroying destiny. So what can oppose destiny?"
Xi Wei understood immediately:
"Destiny itself."
Flora nodded:
"You see, that's why I said it's very simple. Go find a destructive destiny, a shattered destiny; using them will definitely shatter the Ring of Destiny."
She even had further thoughts:
"That Mr. Snake probably has such power, as for the Infinite Snake... they are just errors, it seems not pure destruction, otherwise the characteristics displayed wouldn't be evolving by randomly absorbing destiny.
But since the 【Night Watcher】 and the 【Demon Hunting Seal】 contain fragments of destiny, perhaps people in the past forged other 'Blades of Destiny' that contained 'destructive' or 'shattered' destiny. Or, how about letting Sister Daifulin try with her scythe? That is also very pure death."
That was indeed a good idea, and Xia De thought of another thing:
"The weapon that Black Hand-Tifurong wanted to seek on the snowy mountain, the one that can destroy shackles and break bonds, wouldn't it be what we are talking about?"
"Then the destiny contained in that weapon must be very powerful, at least not the kind that only contains fragments of destiny."
Flora said, then waved to Xia De:
"Then see you tomorrow, Xia De. I have specially prepared suitable winter clothes for this island trip. You must appreciate them well tomorrow."
After returning to the Radiant Messenger from the council, Xia De immediately took the 【Night Watcher】 he had brought along. The long sword was placed flat on the desktop, and he quite easily saw the spots of light traces in the sword body that he had never seen before; that was the light of destiny:
"Sure enough, there is also destiny in the 【Night Watcher】."
Afterwards, thinking of the idea Flora gave, he threw the crystal shoe home again, and then went to the sacrificial site at the top of the mountain through Mid-Hill Fort.
Below the sacrificial site, in the real sacrificial site where candles of different lengths provided faint light, when he saw Sister Daifulin, she was kneeling silently in front of the fire basin as she did most of the time, the tongues of fire licking the 【Ash】 greatsword. Only this time, the destiny ring behind the nun also appeared, and it was rotating at a speed that was not fast.
Hearing Xia De's footsteps, the nun did not get up, so Xia De came to the fire basin and sat down, telling the nun about destiny and shattering. After he finished speaking, Sister Daifulin's cold voice sounded in the sacrificial site:
"Yes, the power of death and ending symbolized by the ancient God of Death can indeed shatter even destiny. It's just that I can't do it yet; this requires at least the power of the Thirteenth Tier."
Xia De expressed understanding of this, but Sister Daifulin said again:
"But there is another way. Whether it is a destiny arc or a complete Ring of Destiny, send them into death, sink them under the black water surface, and death will wash away everything and dissolve these destinies. But in this way, you won't get anything; that is just simply discarding destiny."
After a slight pause:
"Do not place the destiny transformed by the Infinite Snake there."
Xia De can now go to that water area by rowing a boat. With this method, even if the "War Ring" is really made by cultists in the end, Xia De also knows how to deal with such a troublesome thing.
But in this way, he still doesn't know how to deal with the arc transformed by the "Infinite Snake." After mentioning the weapon with "destructive" and "shattered" destiny, Sister Daifulin was silent for a while, and finally raised her head to "look" at Xia De by the fire at this moment.
The firelight flickered on the silver blindfold:
"There is a very well-known relic, and you have mentioned it often some time ago. Judging from its characteristics, it likely meets your requirements."
Before Xia De asked what it was, the nun said again:
"I probably know what that demon is looking for on that snowy mountain."
Xia De was even more surprised:
"What is it?"
"【One-Shot Kill Pistol】."
"Hmm?"
As if a thunderbolt flashed through his mind, a series of clues were all connected together following the name spoken by Sister Daifulin.
He suddenly remembered one thing. In the last adventure in the 【Tombstone Wasteland】, the group needed to go to the temple to find the exit, and when they were transferred to the tomb passage halfway and encountered the "Soul-Forging Skeleton" set up by the Swollen Lady, they needed to answer questions to unlock the seal and continue moving forward.
And at that time, after Theresa heard the question "Who is the most beautiful," she immediately took out the pistol to shoot at the metal skeleton, and clearly said—
"This gun can achieve one-shot kills on life, but it can also be used to release shackles and break seals." (Chapter 3395)
Sister Daifulin continued:
"During the Fifth Era, you told Sister Belen and that Witch Emperor that a wisp of the initial fire was on the Fatumunster snowy mountain, and for us in this era, only three flames remain to be recovered.
If after that adventure, Sister Belen found that flame but did not recover it, although this is cruel to her, it will not have any impact on the present where we are, and for that Witch Emperor, this will be a cross-time contact opportunity that is bound to succeed."
Xia De, who understood everything, was moved in addition to being surprised:
"They..."
"They most likely left the 【One-Shot Kill Pistol】 beside that flame. The demon must have discovered the record of the last holder of the pistol during the Fifth Era, and finally found Fatumunster Island, hoping to find that weapon that has never appeared since the Sixth Era."
Sister Daifulin finally concluded:
"It and our goal are exactly the same."
Although all this is just speculation at present, all clues and information can match, and this is likely the truth.
Sister Belen and Miss Violet being able to find Fatumunster Island is not a difficult thing in Xia De's view. Although he only said "snowy mountain" and didn't say more details, with the power of the demigod Violet in that era and Sister Belen's sensing skills for the initial fire, all they needed was a little luck.
And once realizing that Violet had also set foot on the snowy mountain like him at the end of the Fifth Era, and might have even been to Kael-Todd Town, Xia De thought of another thing:
"The castle on the mountainside of the snowy mountain where I met the Prophet Society! President Lenorman of the society told me that the castle was the temporary camp of a Witch Emperor who briefly visited the snowy mountain at the end of the Fifth Era!"
He stood up from the fire:
"Nominally, that island has nothing special. I have read the Fatumunster people's records of the island's history. During the Fifth Era, it was also a rural place. Under normal circumstances, the Witch Emperor would definitely not run to such a remote island. Therefore, that castle is the camp of Violet and the others who came to find the initial fire flame!
In this way, will there be anything left in that abandoned castle... Did Miss Ilese go to the island with Miss Violet during the Fifth Era?"
Thinking of these, he wanted to return there immediately. But the conversation with Sister Daifulin was not over yet, and the somewhat excited Xia De sat down again.
Next, he asked about the preparations Sister Daifulin made for promotion, and the nun clearly said that she was also not sure when she could take that step. This takes time, so Xia De's "shattering ring" plan still needs to find other methods.
And as for weapons other than the 【One-Shot Kill Pistol】 that might be related to the destiny of destruction, Sister Daifulin couldn't think of any for the time being:
"Perhaps in Mr. Ring's temple, there will be other ways to shatter destiny."
The nun said, but Xia De also couldn't reach the temple.
After returning to Fatumunster Island with new ideas and clues, the time had already reached before lunch. Because of Vanessa's arrival, witches from all over the island gathered on the Radiant Messenger to have lunch together. And it wouldn't be until tomorrow when Flora arrives and the day after tomorrow when Bella from Moon Bay arrives that a banquet will be held for formal celebration.
So taking advantage of the time before lunch, Xia De found Miss Ilese in the captain's cabin. Recently, there are more and more people on the ship, and she is happy to arrange rooms for everyone or direct the witches' maids to do various work.
Xia De just asked "Did you come here at the end of the Fifth Era," and the blue-eyed girl laughed:
"You finally realized. Yes, I came here with Miss Violet, Sister Belen, and Theresa."
"Then..."
"I just waited for them on the ship, occasionally went to the Fatumunster people's town to walk around, and didn't follow them to the snowy mountain. For me, many things have changed before and after falling asleep, but you seem not to have changed at all, and Kael-Todd Town hasn't changed much either."
She reached out and held Xia De's hand:
"I didn't intend to hide it from you, but some things can only be discovered by yourself, I can't tell you actively. If I said it, what they did in the snowy mountain might not succeed."
Xia De understood what she meant:
"Then answer me a question, okay? Did Theresa also come along? Did she carry that Angel-level relic 【One-Shot Kill Pistol】 on her?"
Miss Ilese nodded:
"I know what you want to ask, but I really don't know what Her Majesty Violet and the others did in the mountain. As for Theresa, yes, she also came along. They stayed on the snowy mountain for half a month, and then left. This is a very short trip. The Fatumunster people at that time probably didn't even know that a Witch Emperor had visited here... However, after leaving this island, I never saw anyone take out that gun again."
For Xia De, this was actually the answer.
