Chapter 82: Chapter 39: Choice 1
The cold wind howled!
The pervasive voices made the Winter Witch’s face turn extremely pale, her spirit becoming unstable as she couldn’t help but scream, "Shut up!!!"
"It wasn’t me!... I didn’t!... I..."
"I was wrong..."
"Sister. I’m sorry!..."
The Winter Witch’s whole body was trembling, as if she had been greatly stimulated, but soon her emotions gradually calmed down. She turned her head and looked at Su Ziyu, her expression becoming increasingly determined, "But I will not give up!... I will atone for everything I’ve done!..."
"Even if it means death, I will fight to the very last moment!..."
"I’m sorry!..."
He has returned as promised, bringing back the hope to save this place!
How could I give up?
Fight!
No matter what we face, fight to the last moment, leaving no regrets in life.
Everything around withered in the biting winter, as the terrifying magic power of the Winter Witch brought the Dream Forest into an instant cold winter. Ice spread from her center in all directions, and her figure gradually transformed into an over thirty-meter-tall Frost Giant!
She gazed coldly at the countless monsters emerging from the darkness, and icily recited two words: "Winter!"
In an instant!
Everything before her was frozen!
It was a power beyond Su Ziyu’s imagination. In his understanding, perhaps only a legendary Divine Spirit could accomplish such a feat.
Rumble.
The giant serpent that had originally coiled around the Dream Realm tightened its body again. Its massive head was trying to infiltrate this world bit by bit, the distant ground already cracking, mountains collapsing one after another as if the entire world would be crushed under the giant serpent.
Su Ziyu urged his pegasus to fly towards the Elemental Pool ahead.
At the moment of grounding, he placed the Black Magic Cube given by Diana into it.
In an instant.
A torrent of data in Su Ziyu’s mind surged crazily, his spirit was painfully strained, his brain felt like it was about to explode, and the once-calm Hourglass of Time flowed rapidly. In Su Ziyu’s hand, a golden hourglass appeared out of thin air, gradually turning from illusion to reality, instantly releasing grains of time sand emitting a faint glow. They surrounded Su Ziyu’s body like a river of stars, ultimately transforming into a dazzling golden barrier that shot into the sky!
Time stood still at this moment!
Except for Su Ziyu, who slightly trembled from the pain, everything else fell into complete stillness, frozen in time.
The next second.
The frozen time resumed movement.
Strange beams of light rose, and above the Elemental Pool, the powers of earth, water, wind, and fire formed four pillars that supported the heaven and earth, lifting the sky gradually crushed by the coils of the Dream Serpent Jormungandr. Within these rising pillars, the figures of three witches gradually emerged, appearing as semi-transparent spirit bodies, slowly hovering over the Elemental Pool with their hands reaching towards the Winter Witch on the ground far below.
"Sister!" The Winter Witch’s expression was shock and joy.
Her form quickly became ethereal, flying up to meet the three witches.
The powers of earth, water, wind, and fire were converging.
The once crumbled earth was gradually repairing itself, the cracked Abyss closing, fallen peaks standing again, light drizzle fell from the sky, the wind of revival blowing over the land, and tender grass sprouts emerged on the originally arid soil.
A witch with an indescribably gentle demeanor gently stroked the Winter Witch’s hair, smiling, "It’s not your fault."
"Bless you!"
Her form gradually faded, transforming into countless sparkling points of light that merged into the Winter Witch’s body.
A witch with a passionate and fiery appearance embraced the Winter Witch’s body, encouraged her, "You kept us going till now, you’ve done well."
"Bless you!"
Her form gradually faded, turning into countless sparks that merged into the Winter Witch’s body.
A witch with an intellectual and graceful aura kissed the Winter Witch’s forehead, earnestly saying, "We will always love you. Do not be sad, we will always be by your side."
"Bless you!"
Her form gradually faded, becoming a gentle breeze that merged into the Winter Witch’s body.
A visible barrier gradually spread outward with the Winter Witch at its center, causing countless twisted monsters to vanish upon contact. The giant serpent that had encircled the Dream Realm let out a cry of agony, its enormous body trembling violently as if scalded, and its enormous coiling body gradually retreated. In the end, it let out a roar filled with unwillingness, gradually disappearing into the sky.
It was expelled from this world.
The cool moonlight scattered down.
The originally fractured world underwent a slight distortion, with dense forests appearing before the eyes, and the village inhabited by the Great Elves gradually emerging. The sound of rushing waters could be heard in the distance, and faintly, there was the clear chirping of birds.
However.
The Great Elves that originally inhabited there were nowhere to be seen.
The field of golden sunflowers had also been reduced to ashes by the fire.
It finally ended.
Su Ziyu seemed to collapse, sitting down on the ground. The Hourglass of Time that had materialized in his hand had disappeared, and the Black Magic Cube was nowhere to be seen.
"Thank you," the Winter Witch said softly as she approached Su Ziyu.
"You’re welcome," Su Ziyu replied, looking up at the witch before him. He saw tears glistening in her eyes, his body felt somewhat numb, and he forced a stiff smile as he moved his lips, "It was our promise."
Time is running out.
Su Ziyu didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that the sand in the Hourglass of Time seemed to have decreased a bit.
He forced himself to climb onto his pegasus and flew straight towards the village.
My spoils!
My Source Power Value!
Hope still remains.
The figures of Skadi and the White Queen stood at the village entrance. Su Ziyu had no time to speak with them, first circling around near the village to explore, then rushing towards the field of burnt sunflowers.
Luckily!
He obtained the reward he deserved, totaling 16 Source Power Value, comprising 10 from the mud puppety and 6 Source Power Value from the scarecrow.
Unfortunately, he still hadn’t obtained any Divinity Value.
To this day, Su Ziyu did not quite understand what kind of creatures would drop Divinity Value.
After tidying up his things, Su Ziyu approached Skadi, hesitated for a moment, then said, "I must leave."
This Future Goddess seemed to have anticipated this long ago, for she had once fought alongside Diana. She gazed into Su Ziyu’s eyes, speaking slowly, "When will you return next?"
"I don’t know," Su Ziyu’s gaze shifted evasively.
Skadi continued to look directly into Su Ziyu’s eyes, softly asking, "Will you come back?"
"I think so," Su Ziyu hesitated.
"Alright then." The Goddess of Fate before him took a deep breath, smiling, "I will always wait for you!"
