Chapter 3012 The End of Time
The crossbow then aimed at Helen and Grace again, but the two sisters immediately disappeared and appeared next to the hotel owner behind the counter.
He immediately used his spirit to activate the light of the lantern in his hand to cover a larger area. He thought that the miracle element could affect the power of the angel-level relic, but he did not expect that the twin sisters in black and white dresses would not be affected at all.
The miracle of time and the miracle of space resonated with each other. At this moment, the whispering elements of the twin sisters were almost completely hidden, and instead, their power as the chosen ones of space was revealed.
Even though he was only the third candidate for the chosen one, Thomas Bennet seemed to understand something at this moment:
"Relics can also be"
Before he could finish his words of disbelief, the space cracks on both sides had already rolled his body in. The lantern fell on the counter, the crossbow turned back into the black wood, and the space turbulence shredded Thomas Bennett's body into pieces.
"Is this the end?"
Grace and Helen returned to Shade's side before the emerald light burst out. The shredded remains of the body gathered together, and after the shadow of a towering tree flashed by, Thomas Bennett reappeared:
"I have also been freezing time here. If you want to kill me, you can only go to the next second, but time here is forever frozen at the present second. This is not immortality, this is the rule of time! I have infinite time to fight you here, I will always be in this second, but how long can you hold on?"
He picked up the oil lamp that was full of miraculous elements again, then broke the lampshade, held the flame in his palm and put it into his chest.
That strange element of wonder then became a part of Thomas Bennet, and both Shad and Grace Helen felt that his connection with the building had become closer.
There was even a moment when the shadow of Thomas Bennet cast on the wall by the light ball was no longer a human figure but the shape of a tree.
Wood texture appeared on the surface of his skin, and the life ring rotating behind him completely broke through the eighth ring, and finally stopped at the tenth ring level after rapidly upgrading. He took a deep breath, and his right eye, which had been normal before, turned completely black.
The deep darkness does not represent emptiness, but a power that can reverse time:
"Time pauses!"
The time here is frozen, so this pause in time only applies to Shade. The clear sound of the pointer turning echoed in the room, but Shade's time resistance still helped him resist the power of frozen time.
The corners of Thomas Bennett's mouth trembled, and he pointed the palm of his right hand at the place where the three people were standing, and then a huge green energy wave hit him.
Grace and Helen stood directly in front of Shad, and the two sisters drew a circle with their hands, and the emerald green light entered the circle and reappeared from the side of Thomas Bennet.
The energy dispersed his phantom, but when it hit the wall it failed to cause any damage to the building itself. Instead it seemed to be absorbed by the building itself.
The innkeeper appeared again on the stairs leading to the upper floor. He still opened his palms and pointed them at Xia De and the other two, and still released a huge amount of energy. Then, the Red Butterfly sisters tore the space to let the energy return along the original path.
This cycle continued for many times, and Thomas Bennett was indeed in the same second in the "Time Transfer Station" just as he said. No matter how many times he was attacked, none of them had any effect on him.
Although Grace and Helen's space-tearing transfer attack consumed very little energy, Xia De could see that it was completely meaningless to continue wasting time.
So after Thomas Bennett disappeared and reappeared again, Shad stopped him:
"Wait a minute, I don't understand what you want to do?"
Seeing that the innkeeper really stopped, he continued to ask:
"You lost your wife, but you still have your daughters and sons. Why don't you fight for a normal life for them while there is still a chance to turn back?"
"First of all, I have to correct one thing. I don't care about Albert Bennet."
The innkeeper said at the side of the counter:
"The responsibility of turning into a tree, inherited by the Bennet family, will be fulfilled in my next generation. This is a responsibility that comes once every three hundred years, but I don't want any of my daughters to bear this tragic fate.
Fortunately, our family's inheritance is not just through blood, so I adopted the talented boy who accidentally came to the transfer station. His significance to me is just to replace my daughters and turn into a new tree in the future to absorb the time curse. He is not my child, and his future does not matter. "
It seems that Thomas Bennet had no idea that the boy was actually a royal illegitimate child. He only cared about his talent.
"What about your daughters? Even if Linda Bennet has nothing to do with your family, don't you still have three daughters? Aren't you looking forward to them getting married? Now you still have a chance to turn back."
Xia De asked again, and the innkeeper stared at Xia De:
"Of course I look forward to that day. Even on the day Jane was born, I was looking forward to it. But you know what? The person I care about most is gone now."
"Your wife?"
"Long ago, on the day of our wedding, when I was still young, I saw the exact date of her death through the river of time. I spent the rest of my life trying to prevent this from happening. I know the rules of time, and I know that all mortals will die. I dare not turn back time to do anything, but I just hope that I can do something on the day when it happens.
But in the end I still failed, even though she was sleeping next to me, even though my hand was still holding hers, I still couldn't save her. This was destined to be my death. I stood at this transit station in time to help others seek a second chance, but I couldn't even grasp the first chance myself. "
He took a deep breath:
"I kept her death date in my heart and loved her all my life. But I didn't have the courage, and I didn't want to violate the rules of time like the fool in the Bronte family, and let her skip her own death date. I expected a miracle to happen, and I even sought help from the ancient one, but in the end, what was supposed to happen still happened.
I spent more than 20 years with her in an ordinary way. Now that she is dead, some things that I used to care about no longer matter to me. "
He finally said what he wanted to do:
"I will not violate the rules of time and change the past, but the ancient one promised me that as long as I complete the last task, Albert Bennet will inherit the transfer station. The responsibilities here have nothing to do with my daughters, and I will be allowed to be completely free. I will wander in the long river of time, and one day I will find a way to bring her back to life.
If the Sixth Era doesn't work, I will go to an older era, until I reach the end of time. This world allows miracles to happen, I have always believed in this. As for my daughters, when I disappear from this time, they will be completely free. "
He pointed to the door of the hotel, and it opened:
“Godcaller, you can’t defeat me today, and I can’t defeat you either.
The ancient in the forest is also the omniscient of time. He knows everything about the past, present and future. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the three months are full moons, and it is time to hold the ceremony of the chosen one. Now I will send out the invitation letter for this decisive battle——
On Saturday night, when the silver moon shines, the paradox bugs that have been born here for millions of years will awaken from the dense forest and attack the city of Vesta. Do not evacuate the population in advance, otherwise the target will be Willendel.
By then, I will be the third candidate for the Chosen One of Time, waiting here for you and your candidate. Only after you defeat me, the army of paradox bugs, and the newly blessed "watchmaker", will you be qualified to meet the ancient one."
He said the truth that Shade had guessed long ago, which was also a very cruel truth for Emilia:
"The first candidate for time is the Ancient One who was born from the remains of the World Tree. Now that the Father Tree has long gone, He is the incarnation of time and the true master of this forest. He knew everything before it happened, including your arrival and my choice. He overlooks the stories of mortals in the forest. He is cold and ruthless but absolutely powerful.
I will be the gatekeeper of the first level before challenging Him. I will look forward to seeing you again on Saturday, Godcaller. "
"Well I'm just asking a question about your daughter, you don't need to say so much, right?"
Xia De said hesitantly:
"So, the ancient one had already predicted that you would be attacked by me today?"
Thomas Bennett did not answer, so Grace and Helen looked at Shad. Shad also knew that there would be no result if he continued to fight today. As long as time did not flow in the transfer station, he would not be able to completely defeat Bennett. Besides, now that Emilia was not here, it would be meaningless even if he defeated Bennett:
"Today is Thursday. So on Saturday night, I will bring this story to an end. Also, are you really willing to be the gatekeeper of the Ancient One? Maybe you are right and it is powerful, but after I bring the candidate I support on Saturday night, are you sure you can beat us?"
The only thing Shad is extremely confident about is this. It's not that he thinks he or Emilia are very strong, but that he already knows Bennet's ending.
The innkeeper just looked at him without answering, so Shade walked towards the gate with the two sisters and returned to the snowy forest.
It was not until the door closed again that Thomas Bennet finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the familiar interior of the transfer station, knowing that his life could never go back to the past, and he and his daughters might never see each other again.
The ancients arranged everything. He had no right to plan his own life from the beginning. The end of the story is about to begin, and he is even just participating in the final story as a grindstone.
Thomas Bennet looked down at the leaf pattern emerging on the back of his hand, and thought of his life, how he had begged the Ancient Ones to save his wife, and how he had lived happily with his family in the past. Finally, he looked in the direction where the "God-Caller" had just left.
He could no longer escape from here, and defeating the "God Summoner" was something he dared not even think about. The next time they met, the "God Summoner" would definitely bring a way to defeat him, but he could not find any possibility for himself to win.
Even if the "God Summoner" didn't kill him in the end, he would probably never be free again in his life, and he would never have the chance to find a way to resurrect his wife. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and opened the bottom drawer on the far left side of the counter.
After Linda Bennet was taken away because of the Love Lake incident, Thomas Bennet actually hid some of her personal belongings in the house secretly. At this time, the exquisite mermaid statue was placed in the drawer.
