Chapter 3730 Unicorn, Snake, and Sword
As Stella wondered about the shadow, a pure white light enveloped Ellie's entire body. The unicorn-shaped white light gradually shrank in size, and then a small figure resembling the shadow appeared from within the light. She bent down, picked up the curved object from the ground, and then flew up again.
"Ok?"
Iluna, gripping her sword with both hands, was so surprised that she even turned her head to the side in this critical moment. The figure flying towards her was no longer a unicorn, but a girl wearing a white robe that looked like it was woven from flowing moonlight.
Her long, flowing white hair was highlighted with a moonlight-colored sheen, and her irises were a rare pale silver-gray, like the purest moonstone. A loose robe draped her slender body, and the white belt around her waist was clearly made of unicorn fur.
She was barefoot, and the skin on her feet, arms, and cheeks was almost transparently white, so delicate that not a single pore could be seen, and it even emitted a faint, natural white glow. She looked like she had stepped out of a fairy tale, or like a legendary fairy who had flown into reality.
Under the astonished gazes of Iluna and Stella, the girl, wielding the black arc, approached the Ouroboros Black Ring once more. This time, however, the power emanating from the Black Ring was neutralized by the white light that appeared around the girl. Holding the arc in human form was far more convenient than biting it in unicorn form.
Thus, [Death] was directly pierced into [Resurrection], and then the girl gently flicked the [Resurrection] ring that was floating in front of the black ring with her curved hand, and it was directly thrown away.
With one ring missing from the three-ring resonance state, Iluna felt the resistance at the tip of her sword suddenly lessen. Ignoring her surprise at Ellie's return to human form, the thunderous explosion at the tip of the Night Watcher sword blasted a huge gap in the black ring. Then, the combined power of Grace and Helen completely disintegrated the strange ouroboros black ring.
Without needing to be prompted, Iluna and the Geisha twins coordinated perfectly to launch an attack on the mass of flesh that was gradually evolving into a new form through splitting and rebirth.
The rupture of the outer black ring removed its last protective barrier, and the departure of [Resurrection] deprived it of the means to recover. This time, nothing could stop Iluna anymore; the silver sword in her hand, enveloped in lightning, pierced the center of that mass of flesh.
The crimson sunlight immediately erupted from the Night Watchman, the sun's power directly burning a large hole in the center of that mass of flesh. The subsequent thunderous explosion completely burned that mass of flesh, which Iluna considered extremely dangerous, into charcoal.
A faint, mournful sigh seemed to echo in her ears. The [Fool's] Ring vanished with the user's demise, and the Ouroboros Black Ring turned to ashes. Confirming the enemy was completely destroyed, Iluna finally landed on the ground, panting heavily.
Only charred remains of the "Lustful One" fell from the sky. As Stella helped Iluna up, Iluna said:
"Go find it, look for the one called 'The Fool'."
Boom!
The black light engulfed the spot where Stella and Iluna stood, and the power of that instant even made people on the distant battlefield feel a chill.
Darkness, boundless darkness, completely enveloped this apocalyptic battlefield in the next instant. All sound and light were suppressed; the only sound that could be heard was the hissing of snakes.
This power was not the darkness that devoured everything, but rather a destruction that seemed to lead everything to its end. In the snow-covered plains shrouded in darkness, the monsters that were about to be annihilated by the ring sorcerers suddenly grew larger and launched a counterattack with even more ferocious power.
Those who had visited the temple all understood:
"Mr. Snake has appeared! It actually left the temple! Oh no, what about the Lustful Ones?"
On the mountainside boardwalk, the four candidates, locked in a fierce battle amidst the night's snow and wind, simultaneously ceased their spellcasting. Those chosen by fate gazed in the direction of the battlefield, exchanged glances for a moment, and then Mr. Mortis and Elder Zarathustra immediately returned to the battlefield, while the two cultists hesitated for a moment before following suit.
In the nearly shattered basin, a pale-faced middle-aged man with serpentine eyes stopped in the darkness beside the ashes of the "Eros." Compared to the one he had seen in the temple, his face now resembled that of a snake, with the most striking feature being the absence of a nose.
It didn't look towards the spot that had just been swallowed by the black light, but instead looked further away. Amidst the fluttering of crimson butterflies, Iluna and Stella, supporting each other, appeared together.
"Mr. Snake!"
Stella, who had seen them before, recognized them immediately; Grace and Helen, hand in hand, reappeared. This time, however, it wasn't a clone; the true form of the angelic relic, the [Red Butterfly Twins], appeared directly there.
Snake Eyes scrutinized the twins holding hands and asked:
"You had already escaped the shackles of fate, finding a path to survival that never existed before, a path to certain destruction. If that's the case, why do you willingly step into an even more perilous chapter of destiny, trespassing on the power of the ancient gods?"
Having been freed from their original destiny, as long as you distance yourself from the story of "Whispering Verses," nothing in the material world can threaten you anymore. But why do you insist on putting the shackles of fate back on yourselves?
The twins' voices overlapped, creating an echo:
"Fate is everywhere, and no one can escape it."
"It makes some sense."
The noseless man nodded, his right hand inside his black robe pointing downwards, and black ashes floated upwards from the remnants of the "Lustful One".
Grace, Helen, Iluna, and Stella all saw the grotesque and twisted faces of men and women in the ashes, faces filled with pure hatred, fear, and pain.
The black ash eventually formed an illusory ring in front of the snake-faced man, but when he reached out to touch it, it solidified into a solid ring.
"Two people bound together by the curse of fate love each other, yet hate each other because of their respective secrets. He loves her, yet hates her; she loves him, yet ultimately destroys him with her own hands. They chase each other, yet destroy each other, ultimately becoming inextricably linked in the trajectory of fate, forming a perfect circle."
Yes, it's a perfect fate of destruction, and you know what's most perfect?
It asked in the direction the girls were. Iluna was about to speak when she saw a hand on Grace's shoulder. The Red Butterfly Twins had heard the new command and left together. Shad took their place, standing beside Iluna.
The appearance of the demon, the mutual devouring of Valentine Halonen and the Baron, and even the appearance of Mr. Serpent tonight—all of this has happened exactly as Shad had anticipated:
"The most perfect thing is that I guessed that Baron Samir, who kept saying he wanted to meet the 'Eros,' must have a problem. Although I don't know who will deal with whom in the end, I guessed that they would become one, so I prepared the fate of [shattering] on the Baron's chair in advance."
The snake nodded, grasped the black ring in its left hand, and took out a broken black sword from its sleeve with its right:
"You did discover my plan in advance. The fate of [Shattered] disrupted their close bond, thus suppressing the powerful force they were meant to unleash, and skipping the most difficult battle phase of the fifth act at almost zero cost."
But **shattering**, yes, precisely **shattering**. After embracing each other, despite the possibility of **resurrection**, they shattered from within. Devouring themselves, self-destructing, yet reborn from destruction, only to be destroyed again—this is the most perfect destruction. So close to the posture of the ouroboros, so perfectly illustrating the capriciousness and reversal of fate.
I hadn't expected this either. The Summoner of Gods—humans often say that fate is fair to everyone, and I only now accept that. Mr. Huan, you've treated me so fairly on this stage.
A small portion of the demon's essence, transformed into a black broken sword, touched the black ring, and the ring melted into the broken sword.
The sword grew longer amidst the twisting black light. Xia De could tell that the "Mr. Snake" that appeared at this moment was not its true form. Its true form still had not escaped the seal and left the temple, but the power of the figure wielding the sword was getting closer and closer to the purest "destruction" due to the fusion of the demon and the ring.
Xia De asked:
"I'm very curious, why would that demon agree to separate its essence and sacrifice itself for your grand plan tonight? Did it know from the beginning that it would be destroyed if it appeared tonight?"
The snake raised the black sword in its hand, and in that instant Stella's hair stood on end. The white-haired girl almost felt her consciousness stop because of the light of the sword.
The snake answered:
"It's simple. If we want to release that thing that we both know about, isn't there another way besides using a weapon to break the seal?"
Xia De understood:
"Yes, once the end of the world comes, the seal will naturally break and give you its power. If you win, the end of the world that the first era failed to bring will come, and the demon's goal will be achieved."
"Summoner, in the fifth act of the story, you gradually found a way to deal with me, and you also gradually learned to accept fate and fight against fate. But now you have still come to this point, I face you, and I have forged a weapon before you. The weapon is the essence of the demon, the destruction destiny that mortals created themselves that is closest to the ouroboros's original intention, and then there is this sword of destruction."
The snake-faced man prepared to swing his sword, but immediately stopped.
There weren't many things that could glow in this darkness: Shad's body, the ring in Stella's hand, Iluna's already manifested dark golden scales, and the [Night Watch]. But now, one more, or rather two more, could glow.
A girl with light silver-gray eyes, who looked like she stepped out of a fairy tale, came barefoot to Shad's side, holding a white ring she had picked up from afar. The ownerless ring shone with an increasingly bright color as it got closer to Shad.
She looked up at Xia De, a hint of shyness in her light silver-gray eyes:
"This is for you."
