The rumbling space suddenly quietened down.
Everything in the outside world seemed to have distanced themselves from the two of them.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Celine almost could not hold back her tears — even though her body no longer possessed the ability to shed tears. She wanted to hug the other party, but halfway through, she saw her rough tentacles and stopped in mid-air.
Instead, the other party took the initiative to approach and held onto her tentacles without hesitation.
[It's not my first time seeing a carrier. What are you shy about? ]
Her tone was as warm as ever.
The familiar voice and appearance made Celine unable to hold back her emotions. She unfurled all her tentacles and pulled Eleanor into her embrace.
[Can you tell me the entire story now?] The other party laughed.
[My Lady, can you first tell me the situation outside?] After calming herself down, Celine recalled her mission. The fact that the space of consciousness still existed proved that the Deity of Gods did not crash into the ground like the enemy had predicted. However, she still wanted to hear news that the outside was safe and sound.
[Although it is still falling, it should be able to reduce its speed to a safe range before it crashes.] Eleanor paused for a moment. [Come to think of it, this thing is a creation of the demons, right? I saw quite a number of God's Punishment Witches — we can already attack the enemy's city? In the end, Alice still … succeeded …]
Celine finally felt relieved. [This … I'm afraid things are different from what you think, and it will take a long time to explain.] ]
[Consciousness communication is suitable for a long speech.] Eleanor exhaled. [Come, I'm ready.] [Yes.]
[Yes.] Celine nodded her main tentacles. [Then I will start from the moment you fused with the central carrier …]
…
After a long time, she stopped.
[… So that's how it was.] When Eleanor spoke again, her tone was filled with emotion. [In the end, it wasn't Alice or Natalia who won, but the humans reunited as a whole. But I'm curious, can there really be such a person among the mortals?] [Yes.]
[We took a long time to accept this. Instead, it was Agatha who had previously recruited ordinary people who adapted quickly. If not for her pulling strings, the process would have been even more tortuous. [Yes.]
[I remember that name.] Eleanor blinked. [A young genius Awakened.] "
"You still remember her," Celine said in surprise. "She's the only witch who can live to this day who still keeps her original appearance. At this point, she hesitated for a moment before asking. "Lady Eleanor, can you recall what you experienced in the central carrier? "
The other party shook his head slowly. [In fact, I don't know who I am either. The name Eleanor isn't accurate, because I'm still Qiao Wei, Li Er, Salehi … All the witches that have fused with the central carrier to form the current me. I could remember everything that had happened before the fusion, but it wasn't the same in the Hub. It was difficult for me to describe what I felt. Chaos, chaos, it wasn't as simple as not being able to see or hear. It was as if my consciousness had been separated into several parts, with only a small part remaining normal. She pondered for a moment. "Hmm … If I really want to think about it, the only thing I can remember are those arithmetic problems and the analysis of the magic core. "
"Then how did you get here? Celine said in surprise.
[I'm not sure either. Maybe it's like seeing a beam of light piercing through the chaos. No matter what, you'll run towards it? "
So that's how it is. To me back then, you were also that beam of light in the darkness …
Celine remained silent for a moment before she suppressed the surging emotions in her heart.
Thinking back to how the process of her entering this place was abnormally smooth, it was highly likely to be related to the Mother of Soul that Nassaupelle had modified. Compared to the central carrier of the underground civilization, this' carrier 'was probably more compatible with their consciousness. This wasn't hard to understand. After all, from the many brains that Mask displayed, his thought processes should be complex and varied. If he was unable to coordinate all these consciousnesses, the first to suffer the backlash would definitely be him.
It was precisely because this place was more suitable for Lady Eleanor that she was' attracted 'over the instant the two were connected by magic.
Since she still existed after the disappearance of the net, it meant that the Neverwinter carrier had once again become an empty shell, and Eleanor was currently residing within the Mother of Soul of the demons.
After Celine summarized her analysis, the other party nodded in agreement. [I think so too. I didn't expect that after such a long time, I would become a demon the moment I opened my eyes. This ending was truly unexpected. However, that Senior Lord Mask's modifications were truly thorough. This body didn't even retain any ability to move, as though it was done intentionally. ]
Being unable to move meant that there was no way to transmit information out of the Red Mist Lake. Naturally, no one would notice the changes at the bottom of the obelisk. As long as the tower continued to produce Red Mist, the Mother of Soul would definitely be safe and sound. Mask's actions were undoubtedly the blind spot of his own people.
[As long as we know who you are, it doesn't matter what the vessel is.] Celine swayed her main tentacle, her voice filled with irrepressible anticipation. [The other fused Witches must have acknowledged you, allowing you to reappear as one of the Three Chiefs. When we return to Neverwinter, Pasha and the others will definitely be overjoyed! ]
[I also wish to see them.] Eleanor looked into the distance. [But I can't go that far.] [Why?]
Celine was slightly taken aback. [Why? ]
[The God's Stone beneath the obelisk is nearly depleted and will soon lose its effect. And the Mother of Soul will die along with it. No matter what, it is ultimately a demon and cannot move freely like a carrier.] "The last thing I can do for you is to let this city slowly fall to the ground. ]
Celine instantly froze.
She realized that she had forgotten an extremely important matter. The Deity of Gods' ascension and deceleration were built upon the foundation of overdrawing the God's Stone mine. Furthermore, when she enhanced the effects of the obelisk and used the 'net' to connect to the Western Region, she had depleted the little magic power she had left. Regardless of whether Mask's second plan succeeded or not, it was an irreversible matter.
[There's nothing to be sad about.] Eleanor lowered her eyelids. [Your hard work has allowed me to see the world once again, and it's different from 400 years ago. This time, humans are filled with hope … This is already the greatest reward.] ]
[But —]
Eleanor extended her hand to interrupt her. [Actually, this isn't a bad thing. If I don't appear, everything will be the same. But if I were to return, it might bring about a lot of trouble, and might even be detrimental to the situation. ]
[How is that possible?] Celine swayed her main tentacle as she retorted. [Everyone will only feel excited!] ]
[You mentioned that the current Witches are led by a mortal king, right? If he were to know that a Three Chiefs from the Union era had suddenly appeared in the United Front, what would he think? Who would the Taquila listen to? Is my opinion the only one … Even if you deny it, it won't dispel this suspicion. As time passes, it will become a crack. As a member of the Quest Society, you usually focus on magic power research, so it's normal for you not to understand such things. So the safest method is to maintain the status quo.] ]
Celine was momentarily at a loss for words.
[Ever since Alice and Natalia perished, I understood one thing.] Eleanor sighed. "I am a Transcendent, but I am not a qualified leader. To an ordinary person, not competing might be an advantage, but it is not suitable to be a guide. When the Union was on the verge of breaking apart, I still did not make my own choice. This is essentially a form of evasion. ]
[My Lady …]
[You don't have to console me. Back then, regardless of whether I supported the Queen of Starfall City or the Sunchaser Queen, it would have turned the situation into a two-against-one situation. That way, the Union might not have broken apart. However, in the face of this decision that would affect the fate of the entire clan, I finally gave up on expressing my stance, which caused the situation to become irreversible. Her gaze was complicated, and her emotions seemed to have returned to that most difficult moment. "Merging with the central carrier was the only compensation I could make. Now that I have gathered everyone's wills and reviewed this matter, I am even more certain of my judgment — I am not suitable for the position of the Three Chiefs. Even if I return, I will not be able to lead all of you to a better position. So, this kind of ending is already very good … Before the obelisk collapses, just accompany me for a little longer. "
[You can chat for as long as you want. Celine took a deep breath. "But if I don't do anything now, I will regret it in the future. In any case, I hope that you will speak to Roland in person. "
"Celine —"
"Perhaps you are right, but that is for the King. "At least he is like you in one respect - if you say you are the most unsuitable of the Three Chiefs, then he is the least king-like king I have ever seen. "
