"No," it shrieked. "You can't do that!"
Seeing that Gwendolyn was unmoved, Fredrich shrieked even louder. "Damned lunatic, stop! You don't understand what you're doing! You'll regret it! "
"I beg you, don't do that! Dear Lady Gwendolyn, things are different from what you think. You don't understand, you'll only kill me! You'll kill Martha and plunge this world into eternal damnation! "
However, Dragon Queen Gwendolyn's cold gaze did not linger on the struggling Evil God. She had seen too many of their flowery words, and she was not one of those foolish mortals.
She looked up at the Roman, hoping to see fear on its face.
But she was destined to be disappointed.
The expression on the merchant lady's face was a little strange, but it was definitely not fear. Rather, it was a little funny, and a little pity.
At that moment.
Gwendolyn almost wanted to stop, but she could not, because she could not afford to fail. The Tree Herders could not, and neither could this world.
The expression in Fredrich's dark eyes turned from fear, to pleading, to hope, and finally to despair. That despair turned into a long wail.
"I curse you, you damned bitch!"
"I curse you and this damned world, you're all dead!"
"Argh!"
When it came into contact with the edge of the Four Elemental Laws that surrounded the Roman, all of the curses turned into a shrill cry. Then, its massive body was torn apart, turning into a bloody mist that scattered everywhere.
However, there were a few blobs of golden blood that separated from Fredrich's remains and floated in this gray space.
For a moment.
Dragon Queen Gwendolyn sensed a familiar aura from the blood. She seemed to see a girl with eyes so clean they were almost flawless. She wore a long white dress and stood in front of her. Her hands were crossed as she smiled and said to her.
"Gwendolyn, this is my dream. Are you willing to help me?"
"I'm just a Magus. How can I help you, Your Highness?"
"Everyone has their own expectations for this world. Don't you have an ideal world, Gwendolyn?"
"…"
Of course she did.
Gwendolyn was momentarily dazed.
When the Twilight Dragon was completely destroyed, this world would also be destroyed, but Order would not disappear. After a long time, the gods would return, and the glorious era would return to this land.
At that time, the kingdom of mortals might no longer exist, but true peace and tranquility would descend. Perhaps the princess's wish would come true.
That was the world she hoped for, although she might not be able to see it herself.
A trace of vigilance rose in the Dragon Queen's heart. She did not expect that she would be distracted at this time. For a moment, her hands and feet turned cold. She thought that because she was distracted, Dusk's will had taken advantage of her weakness.
She reacted in an instant. She grabbed Cang Cui tightly in her hand and hurriedly looked towards the center of this gray world.
However, the 'merchant lady' was still there, looking at her without moving. In fact, the former even had a strange smile on her face, and did not take advantage of her distraction to do anything out of the ordinary.
It was as if she did not intend to break free from the elemental bindings, and was only waiting for Gwendolyn to make her move.
Faced with such a 'Roman', Dragon Queen Gwendolyn could no longer hold it in. Her originally confident heart finally loosened for a moment. This fear spread in her heart once it was born. She no longer dared to think about the consequences of failure. Moreover, reality did not allow her to fail.
She gritted her teeth and put down the scepter in her hand. The formation binding the 'merchant lady' immediately began to slowly turn, and the golden blood floating in Fredrich's corpse slowly floated towards the latter who was bound in the center by the formation.
"Princess Constance, if you really want to save this world, then please stand side by side with me for the last time!"
Gwendolyn thought silently in her heart.
However, in the next moment, her heart skipped a beat.
The golden blood was indeed absorbed by the 'Roman'. After absorbing the blood, the 'merchant lady' raised her head and looked at Gwendolyn strangely. She then frowned and showed a pained expression before closing her eyes again.
Dragon Queen Gwendolyn was never a timid and weak person. She also rarely placed her hopes on things that she could not control. However, at this moment, she clenched her fists.
As the leader of this generation of Tree Herders, she had done everything she could.
She believed that she had done the best she could, but she was only the last person to carry out this huge plan. The Tree Shepherds, the Society of Truth, and everything that her ancestors had believed in for generations, did not leave her with many choices.
She believed in everything, and could only believe in everything.
Unless Martha had completely abandoned this world and her people.
Fortunately, everything seemed to be developing in a good direction. The Twilight Dragon was in a deep sleep because the body it was residing in had absorbed the purest Gaia's blood. In the little body of the baby girl sixty years ago, there were now three souls and wills existing.
The Silver Queen's pure and kind will, and the little girl's pure and flawless will of the Divine People, were now like an invisible cage, trapping the Twilight Dragon in this body.
It was completely isolated from all other forces, whether it was the power of Chaos or the power of Order.
Perhaps it would not take too long.
However, she was lucky that she did not need too long.
After nearly ten thousand years of preparation, this trap finally took effect. The cage was located in the center of this world, in the center of the Elemental Barrier, in the center of the Law of Tiamat, and also in the absolute center of Wohnde.
This was the best chance to kill it.
And Martha also left this last hope.
She raised the emerald in her hand and took one last look at this world. This might also be the last glimpse of this world, because it would soon turn into nothingness, along with the four Elemental Planes.
Then, the Law of Tiamat surrounding Wohnde would completely collapse, just like what had happened in the previous five eras. Civilization had been destroyed and reborn several times.
But this time, the enemy of Order, the Twilight Dragon, would be buried with it.
This was the first time it had descended into this world, and it would also be the last time.
Just like what the gods and Martha had done.
And the next time civilization was rebuilt on the ruins of this era, there would be no more pain and despair in this world, and the Dark Forest would no longer invade the borders of civilization. The Magic Tide had long subsided, and it might be a glorious era full of infinite hope.
It belonged to the Divine People and the gods who had returned.
"Your Highness, you can rest in peace."
Gwendolyn sighed.
But suddenly, she felt that she had lost her connection with the Scepter of Nature in her hand. It was a huge shock, and the dragon queen thought that she was hallucinating. She looked up and was shocked to find countless silver lines of Law appearing from the void, and they were connected to the Scepter of Nature in her hand — the emerald.
The emerald seemed to have developed some sort of self-consciousness, and it flew out of her hand and slowly rose into the void.
Then, she saw in horror that the entire world started to darken.
Then, a voice rang out.
"How sad …"
"Who is it!"
Gwendolyn screamed. She could tell that it was not the will of the Twilight Dragon, and while this voice was just as strange, it sounded more human.
To be precise, it was more emotional.
It sighed deeply, as if it was infinitely regretting something.
"No …" Gwendolyn suddenly recognized the voice, and her face was full of disbelief. "How is this possible …"
"… What, you can't recognize me, Dragon Queen?" The voice spoke again.
It was a little thin, and while it felt cold, it was indeed the voice of a young girl.
But this time, Gwendolyn could hear it even more clearly.
It was indeed the voice of the young girl.
She had not seen her many times, and the only thing she knew about her was that she was called 'Roman', but what did that have to do with her?
She was just a country girl born in Bucce. If not for the will of the Twilight Dragon in her body, she would not even bother to look at her.
"You are …"
"Hehe, aren't you curious why I would fight with a young girl for control of this body?" The young girl's voice echoed in the space. "She is me, and I am her. What's the difference?"
"You … You have always been the Twilight Dragon?"
Dragon Queen Gwendolyn felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She finally understood what had happened. The will of the Twilight Dragon had given up its existence from the beginning, and the young girl born in Bucce had been the Twilight Dragon from the beginning, but she had thought that she was just a temporary body for the will of the Twilight Dragon.
So …
Her imagination of using the will of the Roman and the Silver Queen to restrain the Twilight Dragon was simply wishful thinking, and the funny thing was that she had actually believed it to be true.
But she could not believe that the Twilight Dragon dared to do this, dared to let herself become an ordinary human girl.
If she had been killed before the Twilight Dragon awakened, then there would never have been a Twilight Dragon in this world.
Gwendolyn stood there in a daze for a moment.
The Tree Herders had spent tens of thousands of years, and she and her teacher had gone through all kinds of twists and turns, even sacrificing what Constance had done — awakening the Twilight Dragon and then killing it. It would have been better to just kill the baby girl when she first saw her, and then there would never have been any problems later.
The princess did not have to die.
The Elemental World did not have to be destroyed.
Her heart was as strong as steel, but at this moment, she could not help but feel a crack of regret. It was as if her entire world had collapsed, and at that moment, Gwendolyn understood that she had failed, and failed miserably.
And the key was that she had created all of this with her own hands.
"Why did you do this …" Gwendolyn muttered to herself blankly. "If you wanted to destroy us, why did you have to do something so superfluous?"
"Superfluous?" The 'Roman' opened her eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Because you have always escaped punishment in the end, and I am tired of this game of hide-and-seek. This time, I want to completely destroy this world, but I have to destroy Martha first."
"So, I had to come here personally to find out your secrets —"
She pointed at Cang Cui in the air and said, "So I have to thank you, thank you for giving me Martha's authority."
The Dragon Queen's body was cold.
"The most ridiculous thing is," the 'merchant girl' did not care about the latter's feelings, and continued, "You do not agree with the civilization built by the Iron Folk, and believe that mortals are not worthy of inheriting your civilization. But what's laughable is that isn't the same for your inheritance? "
"You actually believe that bloodline is everything to Martha's authority?"
"How sad —"
"So, before everything is destroyed, let me show you the true face of this world, so that you can understand how terrible your ignorance is."
The 'Roman' shook her head, and then became serious. "Let me reintroduce myself, Lady Gwendolyn. I am a Roman, and the eternal destroyer of this world. But that doesn't matter, because your civilization and my memories will live on forever, because Order is a part of Chaos — "
