Volume 4: The End of the World Chapter 68: Actions of the Parties

Watching the illusory door made of lightning slam shut, William let out a long breath.

The Moon Realm Rift is not a "crack" or "portal" in the literal sense, but a state in which the laws of the world are invalid to a certain extent. For example, the "summoning day" of the major void kings, or the widely spread traditions like April Fools' Day, all fall into the category of Moon Realm Rift in a broad sense.

In order to completely seal it, it is far from enough to rely solely on the use of magic. In the past, the Judgment Seat completely sealed the Moon Realm rifts by either borrowing the power of the Seven Holy Spirits to repair the laws of the world, or using the "Moon Realm Essence" left after the Void Avatar was defeated.

However, because the scale of the Moon Realm rift was not huge, William was able to temporarily seal it by blocking the space with his lightning spells at the peak of the Divine Realm. But if he did not continue to supply magic, the seal could only last for about seven days.

"Seven days..."

After chanting the Transfiguration spell [Extended Shape - Wings], a pair of broad wings like an eagle's extended from William's shoulder blades. He soared into the air, looking at the endless forest in the distance and muttered to himself:

"That's enough."

Even for , the time was too ample. After all, in a certain myth, seven days was enough to recreate a world, wasn't it?

He took the Holy Spirit Disc out of the storage space and played with it for a while. After confirming that it could also work here, he put it back.

It is said that Yeats and his army of wizards chanted for seven days and seven nights to weave a super secret ritual that could burn down the entire Ravenwood Forest. Now if it were William, with the help of the Holy Spirit Disc, he would probably only need three days.

Therefore, before everything becomes irreversible, William still has some time to find the possibility of returning to the original timeline and saving everyone.

"Wait until I come back..."

William spoke softly, the images of Remedios and others flashing through his mind.

The harsh words he had said to the three Void Kings before were not empty words, but on the other hand, he also had his own confidence in his companions - as long as the Void Kings did not come in person, and as long as the Moon Realm Legion did not descend in large numbers, he did not think that his companions would be killed as easily as the Whispering Queen said.

Under the sickly moonlight, William flapped his wings and turned into a whistling afterimage, flying towards the edge of Ravenwood.

As for why the first stop was the edge of Ravenwood, it was because he first needed to confirm one thing - if the scope of the distorted history was only the Ravenwood area, then after flying over the edge of the forest, what would he see and where would it lead to?

Can I jump in time by changing my position in space?

Although the hope was slim, William felt it was worth a try at this moment.

…………

"You...just believe what I said?"

Seeing that the other party had untied all the shackles on his body and was even going to take him directly out of the green prison, Ebony couldn't help but ask vigilantly.

He had no idea how this tyrant of Ravenwood, who had refused to listen to a word of human speech not long ago, could suddenly become so easy to negotiate with. Not only did he listen carefully to what he saw and heard, but he also asked about many details very seriously.

It's like a completely different person.

Could it be a new trap?

But this was totally unnecessary. The living who were struggling in the underground roots had been wiped out by the dead before, and he didn't have any secrets to hide. He really couldn't understand why the other party, who had absolute power, needed to use tricks to deceive him?

"Your description made me figure out some things, and it also made me vaguely recall some memories... In your eyes, am I really a half-decayed undead?"

Flora gently stroked her face and asked solemnly.

"Absolutely."

Ebony nodded fiercely.

"Then there's only one way to confirm the truth of the matter... Hey, are you going to leave?"

Standing at the door of the green prison, Flora looked at the hesitant Ebony and asked impatiently.

“What about them?”

Ebony asked hesitantly, pointing at the countless other companions hanging by tentacles in mid-air.

"The place I'm going to next is a dangerous place. If you want me to take them all with me, I don't mind putting them down."

Hearing this, Wu Mu gritted his teeth and asked:

"Then you have to tell me where you are going, right?"

Flora turned and walked out of the Green Prison. She answered as she walked:

"If what you said before is true, the place we are going to next is the end of the world."

…………

"She's on the other side...will she be okay?"

Seeing Flora suddenly frowning and clenching her teeth while sleeping, with a ferocious expression, as if she had fallen into some horrible nightmare. Having had similar bad experiences in the past, Nezemar asked worriedly.

"What do you mean it's alright?"

Yin Lis, who was also standing aside with his eyes closed, asked back.

"It looks like she's having a nightmare... Could it be that her soul has been captured by the Clawmara and imprisoned in the depths of the Nightmare Swamp?"

Nezemal, who had been imprisoned in the past, asked with some concern.

Yin Lisi heard this, opened her eyes full of white film and looked into the depths of the altar. After just a glance, she closed her eyes again and said:

"The soul of the Duke of the Holy Tree is still inside, and it is well protected by that spell. Don't worry."

Her tone was as if she was checking whether there was a cup on the table.

Seeing that Nezemar didn't reply, she continued:

"You know, this is a defensive spell cast by William Kane himself. As long as the main body of this spell is protected, even the Lord of Nightmares will not be able to take her soul away so easily."

“Is that so…”

After hearing the most authoritative guarantee from the holder of [Eye of God], the expression on Nezemal's face remained unchanged.

In fact, on the way here, the Lord Judge had already explained to them that to completely weave a dream of this scale and guide hundreds of thousands of undead souls to believe that they were still alive, only the Nightmare Lord, Jawmara, was capable of doing this.

But even the Nightmare Lord could not swallow up all the souls of the tree-like elves into the Nightmare Swamp - it's not that she couldn't do it, the key point was that this direct act of plundering power from the world would trigger obstruction from both the Seven Holy Spirits and other Void Kings.

At least a nihilistic king like Juamala, who prefers less trouble to more trouble, would never be willing to take this risk...especially when the biggest beneficiary of doing so would be Ms. Hungry and Corrupted.

Therefore, William speculated that Joumala simply connected the dreams of those forest elves together.

"It's probably that Clawmara wove a large fantasy dream that replicated the Ravenwood scene in the Nightmare Swamp, and then implanted it into the memory of every forest elf. This is equivalent to a large cloud server... Forget it, you won't understand even if I give you this example."

Earlier, after giving them a series of strange theories and metaphors that they could not understand, the chief judge gave up trying to explain the specific principles to them. He just assured them with absolute certainty that this technique would never be broken from the inside.

In other words, they need to cooperate with the Duke of Holy Tree's trusted guards sent here, and guard the main body of this spell together until they come back.

"In short, don't let us be unplugged."

This is how the presiding judge concluded.

This is another incomprehensible statement, probably a magical concept that was popular more than a thousand years ago.

"So, this is why she is like this now?"

Nezemal asked hesitantly, looking at the ferocious expression on Floral's face.

"Maybe he encountered something terrible or terrible on the other side?"

Yin Lis looked at his feet and answered absentmindedly.

Then she added:

"But there's no need to worry too much. After all, Sir William Kane is on the same side with her... In comparison, she is much safer than us."

The little girl slowly raised her head as she spoke, opened her eyes and looked outside the door of the Treetop Temple.

"What we should be worried about right now is our own safety."

She said, hiding behind Nezemal.
