Chapter 4028

Iluna accompanied Xia De to eat some snacks. The eighteen-year-old girl was very curious:

"Luweiya, that so-called 'Child of the End' shouldn't be, in the strict sense, a life born at the moment before the end of the world, right? Otherwise, as soon as it is born, wouldn't the end of the world come directly?"

"Of course it's not the 'end' calculated by time."

Luweiya shook her head:

"According to my understanding, creating the 'Child of the End' refers to creating a brand new race, so it is required to possess reproductive ability. That Construct Master was right. As the last race born in the world, the Children of the End are indeed sad... So Xia De, does that 'Moon Egg' that you and Danister retrieved count as a new race?"

She was indeed interested in that egg. Xia De couldn't answer this question:

"Theoretically speaking, that is indeed a race different from any current life, but whether it counts as a new race is hard to say."

"Xia De, when you saw that egg, couldn't you see its race?"

Iluna asked curiously. Xia De shook his head:

"That egg can only be considered a seed at present, and has not yet become a true life, so it cannot be seen at present."

He continued to eat, while Luweiya summarized:

"With the new information provided by the Construct Master, then the things that the various forces currently located in the Arcadia region want to do can all be summarized in this direction.

The goal of the 【Blood Spirit School】 is new humans, the goal of the 【Son Alliance】 is to create 'Abomination' containing unknown terrible power, the 【Truth Society】 is manufacturing very intelligent 'Difference Engines' according to Xia De, and the traitors of the 【Creation Sect】 are probably wanting to manufacture stable mechanical races... I don't know what the 【Emerald Alchemy Association】 and the 【Magic Eye Club】 want to do, and whether they also want to create life."

Iluna had also heard Xia De mention the matter of "Difference Engine," so she asked Xia De again:

"Isn't the Difference Engine also a machine? You said that this is an automated computer. The ultimate goal of the 【Truth Society】 and the church traitors seems very similar."

Xia De shook his head:

"There is still a difference. The Difference Engine of the 【Truth Society】 is a large-scale computing machine. I'm afraid what they want to manufacture is a living computer; as for the Construct Master and the others, they are simply pursuing mechanical life."

"Although the candidate has not yet appeared, I think Xia De will definitely discover clues next."

Luweiya was in a very good mood because the investigation about the tenth Chosen One had made major progress:

"It's just that this time it seems that all the candidates have nothing to do with us. Whether it is the person who manufactures the 'Child of the End' or the 'Child of the End' itself, it has nothing to do with us."

She tilted her head and looked at Xia De:

"But if that 'Moon Egg' can really hatch a new race, this matter needs to be discussed separately."

Xia De reminded:

"St. Byrons now already has Emilia and Ali, there is no need for a third Chosen One. More importantly, if Danister knows that you have ideas about her egg, even if I stop her, she will definitely be angry."

"Don't make it sound like I'm a bad woman."

Luweiya complained a little, and Iluna giggled on the side:

"But there are so many illegal organizations in the Arcadia region at present, and it's not necessarily that every one of them has a candidate. In my opinion, the 【Son Alliance】 is probably not here for the Chosen One at all. They probably just want to take this opportunity to let 'Abomination' be born."

"According to the Construct Master, these organizations are trying to gather life energy, so I will have many opportunities to deal with them next."

Xia De said, paused again, and reached out to help Winnie, who had just finished working in the kitchen, pull out the chair beside her:

"Actually, there is also Miss Luweiya's mother who creates 'new life,' she wants to create a 'Perfect Child.' Didn't I guess before that this person had bad intentions and wanted to use that stone tablet to lure Miss Luweiya to contact her sister who was divided into four?"

Adele of the past said that Miss Luweiya's mother fully met the requirements of the Chosen One. As for whether she was a candidate, this needed to be verified after seeing her.

"But if this is really the case, why did that Miss Flamel hide the life divided into four? Just put it directly in the coffin in the cemetery, wouldn't the witch be able to find it at once?"

Iluna expressed her doubts, and Winnie laughed:

"In my experience, that Miss Flamel probably has many enemies, or is being searched for by many people, so she dare not put her important things in a very conspicuous place.

Isn't the witch's mother being searched for by the 【Truth Society】 and the 【Emerald Alchemy Association】?"

"I now want to find the normal fire source I manufactured in the 【Polluted Blood Factory】 more and more. If I had that, I might have been able to keep the 'Blood Weeper' tonight. He has now seen the power of Wither, and it will not be so easy to sneak attack successfully next time."

Xia De said with great regret, then touched Little Mia, and looked at the 【Wither Fire Ring】 currently on the cat's tail. Theoretically speaking, anyone who directly touches this ring will be affected by the "Life Wither" effect, but the cat took advantage of Xia De's inattention just now to extend its claws to the ring, and it was unaffected after touching the relic.

Iluna believed that this was related to the solar power possessed by Little Mia, but although the cat could safely touch the ring, it certainly couldn't safely use the ring, so this ring could only be worn on Little Mia's tail as an ornament as usual.

The secondary ability of the ring can ensure that the wearer is immune to freezing in the activated state, which can just offset the negative effects of the 【Ice Heart Walker's Ring】 that Xia De obtained in the Fatumunster snowy mountains, but the side effect of its use causing the life body to wither is even harder to accept than freezing:

"Winnie, since I have already obtained a relic that can use the power of Wither, why not try to see if your power can suppress Wither."

Xia De said to Winnie.

"Of course no problem."

The ice maid then tried to touch the ring on the cat's tail, and then as expected, she was greeted by Little Mia's "Meow" threat, and everyone laughed.

"Xia De, you should eat dinner first. Winnie won't run away. You've been busy all night, can't you let yourself rest?"

Luweiya said with a sigh.

So in the remaining time of dinner, everyone didn't talk about business, but listened to Iluna talk about what she saw and heard in Arcadia City and her views on the Holy See of the 【Creation Sect】:

"Those people are really rich. The Holy See is built much larger than our 【Sun Church】. However, the blow Xia De and the 'Construct Master' used the fire source energy for had a permanent impact on the land where the Holy See is located. Even I cannot eradicate the life fire seeds that have soaked into the earth.

They will probably have a headache when they repair the Holy See buildings later."

The appearance of the "Construct Master" tonight proved that Xia De's conjecture that the traitors had not left the Arcadia region was correct. However, Iluna didn't care about this. Her main work there was to help the Holy See of the 【Creation Sect】 maintain the stability of that fire source.

The "Fire Source" currently remaining in the Holy See had been successfully contained, so she came back.

Everyone accompanied Xia De to finish dinner, and then tested the power of "Wither" together. Although Little Mia also meowed at Xia De a few times, it still let Xia De take off the 【Wither Fire Ring】 from its tail.

"Although the suppression of 'Twisted Life Fire Seed' by Wither was verified during the battle just now, I still want to try it."

Xia De said, letting the fire source emerge from the mark on his palm, and then guided a wisp of fire seed from it.

His left hand put on that relic ring:

"Miracle: Life Ray!"

The life force extracted through "Life Tempering" presented a decaying dim yellow color under the influence of the ring. The dim yellow light hit the twisted fire seed, so the fire seed, which originally had a tiny flame tail, only had a grain-sized light flickering at Xia De's fingertips.

"'Wither' cannot decay life force, but it can significantly suppress life activity. This ring is of great significance to me. Not only can it allow me to have a way to suppress their power when confronting other fire sources, but later when encountering those enemies with powerful life force, I can suppress their life activity through this ring, thereby extracting their life force without defeating them."

Xia De was very satisfied with this. Little Mia seemed to be more satisfied with this ring. Xia De suspected that the cat might wear this ring overnight tonight.

"Let's try Winnie's power."

Luweiya said again. Xia De nodded, first contained the twisted fire seed back into the fire source, and then used "Life Tempering" to extract external life force again. But this time he didn't launch the life force, but let it exist in his hand in the form of a "normal life fire seed."

And that fire seed then transformed into a dim yellow color under the influence of the 【Wither Fire Ring】.

Winnie carefully reached out to touch the dim yellow fire seed, and soon gave an answer:

"I can freeze 'Withered Life' so that it doesn't manifest any special properties."

Iluna then asked:

"Then how do you make Xia De also possess this power? He needs to suppress Wither in the past time, so do you want to teach him a new miracle?"

Winnie shook her head and asked Xia De again:

"When is the next departure?"

"At the earliest, it will be Saturday morning next week."

The crystal-clear maid nodded:

"Before you set off, I will share part of my essence with you. Fairy tales describe that elemental life born in nature can give blessings to mortals, and I can also do similar things. That shared power should be enough for you to temporarily freeze that 'Wither Crystal'."
