It was dark.
Alice's body was curled up. Only by hugging herself did she feel that the world wasn't so empty, and only then did she feel a trace of existence. She buried her head between her arms and muttered, "Naber, I love that child, but he wants to deal with Milord. But he wants to deal with Milord. Is it wrong for me to want to kill him? Alice couldn't understand. What should I do, Milord? Please teach me … "
"Just stay there and don't move!"
In the darkness, Alice raised her head, her face confused.
Gradually, there was a glimmer of light in the darkness. Then the light gradually grew. It was bright and warm, just like the morning when the man left many years ago. Alice moved and slowly raised her hand. "Is that you? Milord? "
"Give me your hand, Alice. If you hear me, give me your hand! "said the voice. It was loud enough to dispel all the haze.
There was a relieved smile on Alice's face. "Yes, Milord. If it's Milord, Alice will do whatever you say. "
She stretched out her hand in the darkness and reached for the light.
Then someone took hold of her. It was a warm, strong hand, and he was dragging her through the light, pulling her away from the darkness. Alice smiled, as if to welcome the return of that man. Then, she felt as if she had passed through something. Finally, she saw him.
He had the same silver-gray hair and the same handsome and young face. Time passed slowly, as if time could not leave a trace on him.
"My lord …"
Alice cried tears of joy and hugged him tightly, feeling the powerful heartbeat in his chest and the warmth of his body. All of this told her that he was back.
Allen hugged Alice.
In the spiritual world, when his questioning made Alice fall into conflict, Allen knew that his opportunity had come. He left the spiritual kingdom, and when he opened his eyes in the physical world again, he saw that the Virtuous Queen was motionless. Allen directly used the Anthem of Destruction to open a hole in the carapace on the Queen's chest and smoothly entered her chest. He saw that Alice was still unconscious. He cut open the biological tissue that was wrapped around Alice and finally pulled her out.
But apparently Alice had mistaken him for someone else. Allen didn't care. He carried her naked and covered in mucus and left the Virtuous Queen. When they reached the ground, Allen quickly took off his coat and put it on Alice. The next step was to wait for Alice to wake up on her own. Allen didn't have to wait too long. A few minutes later, Alice's consciousness began to recover. After leaving the Virtuous Queen, her mind seemed to have returned to normal. At least, there was no madness in her eyes.
When she saw Allen clearly, she felt a little disappointed. However, the request that her creator made to her all those years ago rang in her ears. She did not forget these things, only selectively. It was as if the creator would return as long as he did so. But now she knew that her creator would never return because another twilight species was right before her eyes.
"How are you?" Allen probed.
Alice closed her eyes and sighed. "It feels like a dream. A nightmare. "
"I'm relieved to hear that." Allen withdrew the Anthem of Annihilation.
Alice opened her eyes and said, "So, Spenak really left?"
"Yes." Allen said, "Not long ago, he started a war against Adahua Planet and schemed against many people, including me. His goal was to take something from Adahua Planet. Now I don't know what he's taking. Anyway, after getting that thing, he has already abandoned the entire empire. The Demonic Shadow Kingdom is now ruled by me. "
"It really does look like his style." Alice tightened her robe and stood up. She buttoned up her robe in front of Allen, as if she was going to take it for herself. "That child is always interested in new things. In his eyes, the empire is just a toy, and he's tired of playing with it. There's only one thing I'm sure of. After all these years, he's still gathering information about his creator. So what he took away in Adahua Planet must have something to do with it. "
"I say, Alice, you should understand now. The creator is a twilight species like me. As far as I know, if I'm here, then the twilight species that created you should … "
"I probably won't come back. In fact, I know better than anyone else. I just don't want to admit it." Alice laughed at herself. "After all, women are the best at deceiving people, including themselves."
She pointed deep into the wasteland. "The Canon Black Gate is a product left behind by the creator. According to his instructions, this legacy will be left to his descendants."
"Me?" Allen pointed at himself.
Alice shook her head. "No, the time the creator talked about hasn't come yet, so you're a twilight species, but it's hard to say whether you'll be left behind."
Allen thought of Angeloni. Could it be that the creator meant to leave his legacy to the fully awakened Son of Dusk? What was that for?
At this moment, the Garde Empress moved and let out a low cry. Alice raised her head and said, "You're right. The power of the Black Gate of Canon should have been transferred to the descendants of the creator when the time came. I used it for my own selfishness. Now I have to make up for it. At the very least, the Empress must return to her original place and wait for her to wake up. "
She walked towards the Garde Empress.
"Wait."
"It's okay." Alice turned around and said, "I won't be affected by the Empress anymore. After I let it sleep again, I'll go back to the castle. Before that, can you wait for me in the castle? "
"Alright, since you said so." Allen thought for a moment and asked, "Alice, does the creator look like me? You seem to have mistaken me just now. "
"Yeah, it's very similar. After all, you have the same genes." Alice smiled. "Thank you very much just now. Thank you for your hug. It saved me. "
"If a hug can save you, I don't mind hugging you a few more times."
On this day, the swarm of insects that had invaded many cities on the southern front suddenly evacuated at the same time. Due to the large number of insects after converging, Davelyn, who had originally planned to chase after them, could only give up on this idea. Although the general didn't know what happened, he instinctively felt that it should be related to Allen.
Allen and Tong Wu returned to the castle. When the generals who were waiting for news saw the two of them, they immediately surrounded them and kept asking questions. Tong Wu stood silently on the side, while Allen smiled and said, "You should ask Alice these questions yourself when she comes back."
