"When did Sylvia disappear?"
I hurriedly asked Liliana on the way to Sylvia's room.
"I don't know, I really don't know." This little lass revealed a rare expression of unease and panic. "Suddenly, I realized that Sylvia wasn't by my side. I was supposed to be watching over her, but … but somehow, she wasn't there anymore …"
"Of all times, she could meet with enemies at any moment. What if she ran off to a dangerous place during a battle!" I muttered to myself. Liliana immediately lowered her head. "I … I'm sorry, I … I was supposed to be with her and watch over her …"
"Silly lass, I don't blame you."
I immediately patted Liliana's head. Although Sylvia's sudden disappearance was bad news, I knew that Liliana definitely wasn't absent from her duties. Even though she had the reputation of being the most unreliable priestess and the most unscrupulous priestess in history, she would never skimp on the tasks that I gave her. Looking at the little "loli" beside me who looked like she was about to cry, I knew that she was truly panicking this time.
"Sylvia has always been special. She has given us headaches more than once or twice … Wait, Liliana, when you said that Sylvia disappeared, did you not realize that she was no longer in her room? What do you mean? "
As the saying goes, 'Being overly concerned makes one confused'. When Liliana mentioned this rather strange explanation, none of us thought much about it. Perhaps even Liliana herself was just saying it casually. It was only now that I suddenly remembered this suspicious point.
"Yep, I should have realized long ago that Sylvia was no longer in her room, but … Ah!"
Suddenly, Liliana stopped in her tracks. Her face was filled with shock and her petite mouth almost formed a circle.
"What's going on?"
I was shocked by her sudden action and stopped in my tracks as well. In the end, Shallow Shallow, who was charging at me with her head lowered, knocked herself over. "Ugh … Ah Jun, why did you suddenly stop … Did you find Sylvia?"
She was also the king of being offline just like the silver-haired mole.
It was as if Liliana didn't hear my voice as she stood there in a daze. After a long while, she blinked slightly and lowered her head dejectedly. "Damn it, I clearly had divine energy protecting my body … but I still fell for it."
Right after she said that, a green screen of light appeared out of thin air and enveloped Liliana. I had no idea what she was thinking, but Liliana activated her natural talent ability. Within the green light, boundless life energy mixed with a holy and mysterious aura floated out of the air, gradually enveloping the little "loli" into a gigantic "cocoon." The few of us watched in confusion as Liliana transformed in front of everyone. Speaking of which, these were all magical girl transformation skills, but every time Liliana transformed, the holy light was just too amazing. Would it kill you to sell some benefits to your boss?! There weren't any other men here …
The green cocoon of light condensed for less than three seconds before disintegrating into specks of light and dissipating into the air. What walked out of it was no longer a little girl wearing the princess dress that my elder sister bought for her, looking like a little girl next door. Instead, it was a little girl wearing a luxurious teacher's uniform with golden edges. She had a head full of dazzling golden hair, pointy ears and a cute and adorable face … Ah, she was a little girl.
"Ugh, my head is so dizzy. As expected, there is something in my spiritual world." The moment she completed her transformation, Liliana revealed her true form. She kept slapping her head, destroying the image of a quiet little elf. "My spiritual world has been distorted."
My elder sister and I looked at each other in dismay. In that instant, we felt that Liliana had suddenly become profound.
"There is nothing complicated about it." The little elf girl shakily found my arm and hung herself on it. It seems that using her transformation to expel some negative effects caused her to feel extremely dizzy. "Some kind of extremely powerful mysterious power distorted my spiritual world without me noticing at all. It might have even affected all the sentries responsible for watching over Sylvia. She swaggered out of the room and we thought that it was all very normal. Now that I think back, what happened back then is much clearer: She walked out in front of everyone while the guards at the door and I clearly knew that she was going to leave and treated everything as normal. I stayed in the empty room foolishly for more than half an hour. During that period of time, I read a book, walked around and even poured myself a cup of water. Yet, I didn't realize that it was abnormal for Sylvia to not be in the room!!"
"You were hypnotized?"
I looked at Liliana's eyes anxiously. However, the pair of dark green Blood Elf eyes were clear.
"It is even more advanced than hypnosis. All of the sentries were clear-headed. From the start to the end, we clearly knew that Sylvia left on her own accord. We also knew that our mission was to watch over her and not allow her to move around during the battle. However, we didn't realize that the slow fellow had already … It was a mental distortion. Some kind of power had changed the way the sentries thought. I am afraid that I am the only one who was clear-headed."
Liliana's words were quickly verified. When we arrived at the cabin where Sylvia lived in, an Einherjar responsible for guarding the area was still standing obediently at his post, as though nothing had happened. In Liliana's memory, Sylvia left in front of this Einherjar.
"Where did Sylvia go?"
Sandora looked into the eyes of this Einherjar and asked in a low tone.
"Sylvia has already left." The Einherjar replied immediately without any hesitation. His voice was clear and his eyes were filled with confusion and nervousness towards our collective appearance here. There were no traces of hypnosis at all.
"What is your mission?" Sandora continued to ask.
The Einherjar immediately replied in a clear voice, "Watch over Lord Sylvia well. Don't let her leave this safe cabin during the battle!"
Completely unaware of the contradiction between 'Sylvia has already disappeared' and 'watch over Sylvia well', the Einherjar replied in a completely clear-headed state. It was as though his worldview had been distorted.
"You should rest for a while."
Sandora shook her head and said softly. The power of a Soul Snatcher's words immediately caused the Einherjar to faint. "This child will wake up very soon and return to normal. I can already guess what is going on. Don't blame the guards here. Compared to the Raven King's mental power, even a top-level mage like Liliana is still a child."
"Raven … King!!"
This title flashed across my mind at lightning speed. I instantly understood the meaning behind Sandora's words.
"Could it be that Sylvia has recovered …"
"No, we can't come to such a conclusion yet. Furthermore, she only chose to leave and didn't cause any damage. Perhaps the situation is better than we thought. Let's take a look at her room and we should be able to find some clues." This time, it was my elder sister who reacted. She, who was always calm and meticulous, swiftly calmed me down. At this moment, Liliana had already arrived in front of Sylvia's room and unlocked it in a few clicks.
It was clean and tidy, with a hint of the warmth of a girl. The air was filled with the scent of some kind of ordinary perfume, which was almost indiscernible but made one feel relaxed. This was Sylvia's room.
The bed had obviously been meticulously tidied up, and the things on the table had also been carefully tidied up. The arrangement was precise and meticulous. There were traces of scrubbing on the floor, and there was still a trace of water vapor. Sylvia had obviously forgotten how to use the automatic cleaning device. Almost all Xi Ling apostles on the mystical side were mechanical idiots, at least eighty percent of them were.
The only "untidy" thing in the room was a cup of water placed on the bedside table. This was what Liliana had mentioned. She had been "awake" to pour herself a cup of water even after her mental world had been distorted. Now, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
"The only good news is that she's still Sylvia."
Almost at the same time, we came to this reassuring conclusion. My elder sister said this after letting out a long sigh.
There were only two people at the scene who didn't understand the situation and were scratching their heads. One of them was the off-line girl Xu Shallow Shallow, who had a puzzled expression on her face. The other one was forcefully plucking the hair on her Divine Priest's head and forcefully asking, "What's going on? Hurry up and tell Jingle!" Even the mercury lamp on my shoulder had an expression of understanding. I really didn't know how I should rate the two of them with their intelligence quotient.
It was so obvious. Only Sylvia would seriously tidy up her room before leaving. If it was Belavilla — she would be tidying up us instead.
"This should have been left behind by her."
My elder sister seemed to have found something when she was rummaging through Sylvia's desk. She passed a small piece of paper to me. Opening the paper, a line of words was scribbled on it:
"Thank you. Goodbye. Please return in peace. Everything will be over soon."
I didn't know if I should start by retorting about the Hanyu Pinyin written on it … Sylvia, are you still trying to act cute at a time like this?
"Looks like she does know what she's doing and she already has a plan." Sandora sighed. "Although we are concerned about that girl, we have never truly understood her. We don't even know what she's thinking."
"But the biggest problem is that most of the time, she isn't thinking about anything." I couldn't help but ridicule. "It's almost certain that she has already left the spaceship. Sylvia is actually hiding such a deep secret. Is she usually really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
This was the question that we were most conflicted about. Sylvia's actions this time obviously showed that the slow-witted Slow-paced was much smarter than what she usually showed. Furthermore, she had hidden many things from us. However, before she left, she tidied up her room seriously and left us such a ridiculous note. This also showed that the Sylvia who was our close friend wasn't fake. She … Ever since she accepted the summoning of the Nebula's core, she must have undergone some kind of change. Yet, I didn't realize it at all.
A sense of guilt began to spread in my heart.
"Oh, it seems that the power that Sylvia left behind has begun to weaken. Her distorted view of the world is returning to normal." Sandora rubbed her temple with a subtle expression. "Even the judgment of the spaceship's mainframe has been blinded. Now, it has finally sent us a belated message: About half an hour ago, a shuttle's serial number was suddenly erased. It has now disappeared. The surveillance equipment shows that the shuttle has flown to the core of the Nebula. I'm afraid that Sylvia took it to leave."
"She knows how to operate a shuttle?" I was stunned. "That girl doesn't even know how to use a dryer!"
Sandora shrugged. "But all of our shuttles are equipped with AI. Sylvia obviously has the ability to distort the judgment of all intelligent creatures, including AI."
Sylvia's sudden actions had a huge impact on us. No one would have thought that she would give us such trouble at such a critical moment. Perhaps from the Silver Mole's point of view, she was helping us solve the problem, but did that silly girl really think that we would abandon her and leave on our own just because she left a note?
"Everything will be over soon." Even though she had used Hanyu Pinyin, it couldn't hide the fact that she intended to enter the core of the Nebula alone and end everything. All we could do now was to eliminate the enemies on the way at all costs and catch up to her.
"The military shuttle is extremely fast. It can jump almost instantaneously." Sandora furrowed her eyebrows. "Sylvia obviously has a way to pass through the enemy's line of fire. She even knows the way to enter the core of the Nebula. She might have already entered the core of the Nebula. We won't be able to catch up to her."
"The defense fleet of the rebel army should have been almost annihilated. When can we jump again?"
I asked the last question to the spaceship's mainframe. The latter instantly gave me an answer through the information link. "We will need another fifteen minutes to jump again. The death star will need another seventeen minutes to explode. Other than that, we have no way of breaking the barrier of the Nebula's core."
"I hope that Sylvia doesn't do anything stupid in the next ten minutes."
My elder sister said worriedly.
When everyone hurried back to the bridge, it was less than ten minutes before the fleet jumped again. Funa and Roland Gale's projections were waiting for us. It was obvious that they had a report.
"Friend, we have found something." Funa's expression was still as calm as ever. "Please take a look."
The scene changed, and what appeared in front of us was a vast expanse of floating wreckage. It was an endless expanse of wreckage.
"What is this?"
I asked curiously as I temporarily shifted my thoughts away from Sylvia's matter.
"The remains of the battlefield. It was left behind by the races that were forced to enter the Nebula to fight," Roland Gale said quietly. "This is a medium-sized battlefield. It is a spherical space with a radius of about ten million kilometers. It is filled with the wreckage of millions of battleships after they exploded. Many of them used to be our friends, but in the harsh war, they became the losers. It is a pity that they could not last until this day."
Everyone was silent. Countless lives had been buried in this desolate graveyard. The mottled emblems on the metal pieces that were so damaged that it was impossible to distinguish their original form might have reminded countless resistance soldiers of the lost people who had once fought against them but also struggled to survive together with them. One of the Death Star Fleet's planetary fortresses just so happened to cross the orbit of one of the Death Star Fleet's planetary fortresses, which was why these wreckages inevitably appeared before our eyes.
And these were just one of the inconspicuous cemeteries in the Nebula.
"After passing through these cemeteries, it is the forbidden land that no one has ever entered before. Now, the fleet is going to enter through space jump. The final battle is about to begin," Big Sister suddenly said in a low voice.
"Some commanders of the rebel army are mourning these cemeteries in the Sixth Defense Orbit." Roland Gale closed his eyes slightly. "But they will be done soon. We will not affect —"
"No," Sandora suddenly interrupted him. She was full of majesty and said in an unquestionable tone, "Your journey ends here. Now that the last defense force has been annihilated, you can return."
This time, not only Roland Gale, but even Funa's eyes widened in disbelief. "Wait, friend, we …"
"Don't misunderstand," I coughed. "In fact, you have completed your mission excellently. However, no matter what happens next, it is no longer something that the Resistance Army can interfere with. Even the New Eden Federation's army will have to stay behind and wait for orders with you. This is not because I am dissatisfied with you or estrangement. As for the specific situation, I think Zeratul and I believe that Zeratul and James Reynolds can give you a good explanation. "
"Indeed," Reynolds's communication interrupted. "This is the usual practice of cooperating with the Xiling Empire. When this bunch of unruly fellows carry out the final step of their operation, mortals are completely unable to participate. It was the same for Kepru's final battle back then. Just wait here patiently. His Majesty will resolve everything."
"Alright, friend. I am very sorry that I misunderstood you," Funa lowered her head and apologized sincerely. "We know our own strength. The rebel army will leave the Death Star Fleet from now on. I wish you a triumphant return."
Roland Gale's expression was gloomy. "Emperor of the Schilling people, it seems that we have to rely on the power of the Empire in the end. But at least for now, I can have a clear conscience. We will mourn the dead in this cemetery. Wait patiently. I hope everything goes well for you."
A minute later, the rebel army and the New Eden Federation army began to leave the Death Star Fleet. Hundreds of millions of spaceships of various races exited the hangars of the various planetary fortresses like worker bees swarming out of a beehive. They formed a defensive formation and parked in the dark red space of the large nebula. Although the enemy's defense force seemed to have been completely annihilated, they still maintained a high level of vigilance in this place.
Three minutes later, the Death Star Fortress completed its warp preparations, and the fleet's orbit shrank to its limit. The strongest fleet of the Empire disappeared from the boundary of the second energy barrier of the large nebula in the distorted light curtain of the space warp, embarking on the final journey of this battle.
