As he left the temple entrance and headed towards the high platform on the northwest side of the summit, Xia De had many thoughts on his mind.
This enemy is more dangerous than any before—except for the evil god. If the enemy gets out of control, the scenery we saw in the apocalyptic era of the past might immediately appear in the current sixth era.
The outsider had worked so hard for this world for so long, and he would never let this snake destroy everything he had protected. The snake's offer was indeed tempting, and the outsider knew he would have to pay the price sooner or later, but at least not now.
Therefore, he wouldn't dwell on the snake's words at this moment. His priority was to finish the remaining three acts of the story as soon as possible and then lead his men to the summit of Mount Fatumunster.
[Stranger, I am with you.]
"She" said softly, but this time, unusually, Xia De did not respond.
After leaving the temple entrance, Shad returned to the "Saint's Cliff." This time, without any hesitation, he leaped forward and plunged directly off the edge of the cliff.
Gravity pulled his body back to the earth, and after passing through the white wall of mist below the cliff, his mountaintop journey officially ended. However, Shad gained nothing from the fall, not even after Sylvie caught him and held him in her arms.
"Is it due to insufficient conditions, or is the timing wrong? Does it still have to be at night?"
It seems obtaining the High Ring Ascension Word isn't so simple, and Sevi, holding Shad, asked with some concern:
"Something's off about your expression."
"I've encountered some difficulties, but I think I've found the right position; I'm just missing some conditions."
Sylvie carried him upwards, her golden eyes still watching him with concern.
"No, the look on your face is definitely not one of trouble. What are you worried about? No matter what happens, we will stand by you."
(Mia is running.)
On Wednesday evening, the blizzard that had lasted for half a week in the Falling Star Bay area finally stopped completely.
Having taken some time to visit Iluna on the Radiant Messenger, she was just taking a big gulp of tea from the cup Miss Elizabeth offered when she heard Shad walking towards her while talking to the witch.
“Yes, Bella, what I encountered was indeed ‘what if,’ that unknowable relic.”
"Pfft! Ahem!"
Iluna almost spat out her tea. She coughed violently because she choked, and the boat girl immediately patted her back and handed her a handkerchief.
Shad also stopped talking to Bella and asked Iluna with some concern:
"What's going on here?"
"Nothing, I just choked on my water. Did some unknown artifact appear on the island?"
Unsure of what Shad and "what if" had said, Iluna cautiously probed, and Shad happened to want to discuss the matter with Iluna as well:
"Sit down and let's talk. I went to the mountaintop this afternoon."
Bella and Iluna sat down at the long table in the banquet hall and listened to Shad recount the events of the past hour. After Shad finished speaking, he took out the "Ring of Fate - Hope" and handed it to Iluna, but Iluna did not reach out to take it.
"Would you still be on the island now?"
After the third "What If Game," Iluna obtained clues on how to save Shad, but she still had many questions to ask. If Shad were still on the island, she would definitely participate in the fourth game.
But Xia De shook his head:
"I don't know about that. Apart from telling me to collect the three Rings of Destiny and then go to the top of the Tower of All Things to close it, he basically said nothing. However, the power he gave me is quite interesting. There must be a reason for the gift from an entity that can see every branch of destiny, right?"
Seeing that Iluna wouldn't take it, Shad handed the ring to Bella, who was quite interested in it:
"You've described the different colors of the Rings of Fate: the Ring of Resurrection of the Demon and this Ring of Hope are white, the Ring of War is star-blue, the Ring of Ice and Snow is ice-blue, and the Ring of Fortune, which you couldn't take with you, is gold. Do the colors have any meaning?"
Shad couldn't give an answer either. While Bella was studying the ring, he said to Iluna:
"Although I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact location of the final ceremony, it will definitely be held in that area. In that case, the day of the final battle will most likely be when we gather our forces and storm the summit of the snow-capped mountain. While you're tracking that woman, you also need to prepare for this. Mr. Snake is not only incredibly powerful, but because its essence is destiny, we need corresponding methods to better deal with it."
Bella, who was looking down and playing with the ring, said:
"Shad means that he found a new snake skin on the summit of the snow mountain today, and now he has three snake skins. He wants you to use one of them."
Iluna nodded:
"The reason I came here this time is actually because of this matter. The church asked me if I wanted to use the Serpent's Sheath. Currently, the three 13th Rings on the island, Sun Crest, Hand of Annihilation, and Radiant One, have all used the Serpent's Sheath. I feel that it is necessary for me to use it now as well."
"Alright, so are you planning to use what we have here, or what the church provides? By the way, does the Church of the True God have a lot of snake skin reserves?"
"It was provided to the church by the Prophet's Association. The association has been collecting these kinds of things for many years. I'll use the snake skin provided by the church. Adelina is a background actress, Emilia is an important supporting character, I wonder what I will be."
Iluna said with anticipation.
Since there was no snake molt available, Iluna did not take the Ring of Hope with her, but left it on the ship for the time being. When she touched the pure white ring, a burst of light erupted as if pure white flames were burning in her hand.
Just as Stella touched "ice and snow" and Azelina touched "war," Iluna's ten-ringed destiny also manifested itself at this moment. The brass-colored ring resonated with the pure white ring of fate, and then the ring directly transformed into dark gold, except that this time it did not transform into a scale.
On the rotating dark gold ring of destiny, the golden aura of miracles inscribed the rune of [Hope], and Shad smiled:
"As expected, it matches Iluna perfectly. Iluna, your high-level ascendancy is 'The lucky one who holds 'hope,' and will eventually 'reverse' the 'direction' of fate. Now you have 'hope' too."
"Hope?"
Iluna turned to look at her own Ring of Fate, then at Shad. She felt that "What If" had given her this Ring of Fate as a hint. Iluna didn't know if she could become the hope of this world; she only wanted to become the hope to save Shad.
"It's another resonance of fate! This is so interesting. Iluna, what kind of enhancement did you receive?"
The Countess of Moon Bay asked with considerable interest, while Iluna, holding the pure white ring, examined it:
"The magical skill [Sunlight Gun] has been greatly enhanced; yes, only this one."
But why only the Sun Gun was buffed is unclear to everyone.
"I've never heard of any connection between the Sun Gun and [Hope]."
Shad believed that what might be connected to "hope" wasn't the signature divine magic of the Church of the Sun, but rather the only "protagonist" in his eyes. Of course, Iluna's visit in the evening wasn't solely to discuss the snake molting with Shad:
"I have some news. Martial law is about to be lifted, and the island should return to normal by tomorrow morning."
"The woman has been found?"
Bella asked, and Iluna immediately shook her head:
"Not for now, but a prolonged state of martial law isn't a long-term solution, especially since representatives from various countries are still on the island. It turns out that martial law isn't very effective; last night there were 13 new plague cases, all of them nobles. Commoners can stay home in the snow, but some... well, the church can't monitor every corner of the city."
As she spoke, she picked up her teacup again:
"Taking advantage of the city-wide curfew these past few days, the church has installed some surveillance equipment throughout the city. This is not only to deal with that woman, but also to monitor Infinite Serpent and others who are making deals with Mr. Serpent."
Fortunately, according to the prophets' judgment, the impact of other traders couldn't be worse than that woman's. Now, that woman has a code name within the church and the Prophets' Association—"The Lustful One." It sounds quite elegant, but I think she's nothing more than a…
She almost blurted out a swear word, but thankfully covered it up with a cough. She glanced cautiously at Shad, and only relaxed when she realized he didn't seem to realize she might have sworn.
"The prophets are trying to find this 'lover' by monitoring fate, and there should be results soon; I've heard that the clowns also have their own unique way of tracking down the power related to mermaids, and perhaps those ring sorcerers wearing clown masks will also provide information soon."
She finally took a proper sip of tea:
"So, Shad, what are our plans?"
A voice answered from behind Iluna; it was Megan's voice:
“I did suggest to Shad that he and one of us disguise themselves as a loving couple and lure the other out, but Shad said he didn’t like such a trap.”
Iluna certainly didn't want Shad to be used as bait:
"Then let's go and study the Ring of Fate first, it's very important."
Although she didn't possess the "astounding wisdom" of Adelina, Iluna suddenly had an idea:
"Speaking of which, isn't Ellie's intuition quite strong? She found little Leona in the [House of the False Man] and the stone tablet sealing the Ring of Fate in the underwater tomb. Should we ask her to help us find that woman?"
"Divination by spirit beasts? Using animals with spiritual qualities for divination is a method, but people usually use cats or dogs, and it's rare to see unicorns used."
Bella offered her opinion as a fortune teller.
