Whispering Poems

Chapter 3849 The Destination of Fate

All eyes were fixed on the yellow Ring of Fate. Ellie, her face pale, loosened her grip on her sword hilt; the little unicorn had almost exhausted all its spirit. Sylvia, meanwhile, swung her longsword, tossing the Ring of Doom to Shad.

As Shad grasped the ring, streaks of light swept across the deep, painting-like sea of ​​stars from west to east. At first, there were only a few streaks, then a dense and vast stream of light swept across the night sky directly above the snow-capped mountains. This scene seemed to be bidding farewell to the most powerful destiny of the Sixth Era, and also seemed to be officially drawing a line under the battle of destiny.

Shad looked up at the scene in the starry painting, then said softly:

"This time, it's really over."

Hearing him say this, the people on the cliff finally breathed a sigh of relief. Celebrations and conversations arose together, but not too noisy, as if they were worried about disturbing Mr. Snake's true form, who was also Shad, the one from the Sixth Era's Doomsday Fate, as he watched the meteor shower.

Whether it was the transformation brought about by the "falling ritual" or the complete suppression of the snake's power by Ellie, Shad felt no discomfort whatsoever when holding the ring.

The lingering yellowish hue of the snake as it relentlessly pursued Shad at the edge of the cliff remained, so Shad looked towards Ellie. The short, white-haired unicorn girl was eating an apple Sylvia had given her. Seeing Shad looking at her, Ellie swallowed the apple whole, core and all, then pulled Sylvia's hand and whispered something to her. Sylvia then handed Ellie a curved apple she had acquired during the war.

Ellie squeezed hard, turning the curved apple into a third of its original shape. Then she summoned her life ring, letting the Snow White rune shine on the apple, which immediately turned pure white.

"The Magical Art of Snow White"

The little unicorn girl said this, throwing the apple towards the area polluted by the apocalypse. The dim yellow light was then neutralized by the pure white light until the area returned to normal.

Everyone witnessed this scene, which suggests that Ellie has mastered the power to purify the "Pre-Doomsday" area by consuming Arcs of Fate. This is much simpler than Shad's method of fully unlocking the Mystery Lock. Although casting spells requires Arcs of Fate, monsters with Fate will likely continue to appear on Fatummont Island for a long time, so the source of the Arcs is not a major concern.

The edge of the cliff then returned to normal, and Miss Eden, representing the church, asked Shad, who was under the meteor shower:
"Your Excellency the Summoner, what are your plans regarding this ring?"

Her tone was unusually polite at this moment, so Xia De looked at the group of people on the cliff:
"The Rings of Fate are frozen destinies, something that should never have existed. In the past, the [Association of Prophets] reclaimed and disposed of these rings instead of using them indiscriminately, which was the right thing to do."

The Ring of Fate can indeed grant immense power to its recipients, but everything comes at a price. Now that the War of Fate is drawing to a close, I propose that, unless absolutely necessary, no one should possess the Ring of Fate afterward, and this Ring of Fate of [Apocalypse] should also not be held by anyone.

The proposal was approved by everyone, especially the diviners of the [Prophet's Association]. They had initially worried that Shad would say he would keep the "Ring of Doom" himself; even with their trust in the "Caller of Gods," they wouldn't dare let Shad do that. Of course, even if they disagreed, there was nothing they could do, since the Caller of Gods had led the Chosen Ones to victory in the war of destiny, and none of the three demigods beside him had left.

"So, Your Excellency the Summoner, how do you intend to deal with the existing rings and curves?"

"President Le Norman asked."

Ellie, happily eating an apple, raised her hand. Shad gestured for her to speak, and the little unicorn answered:

"To heal the apocalypse, to heal the twilight, I need the Curved Arc!"

This is consistent with what everyone just saw. Then, Winnie, who was standing next to Chloe in the crowd, also said:

"On behalf of Ms. White, I would like to tell everyone—"

Mount Fatumunst was severely damaged after this battle, not only in its physical form but also in its spiritual essence. Because of the existence of the Doomsday Serpent, it was, in a practical sense, the most crucial node in the web of fate, and this will not change even though the Doomsday Serpent is no longer there.

The snow mountain needs the power of fate to heal it; otherwise, even if Mr. Snake perishes, the calamities that follow will still be extremely severe.

"So, we need to use the power of these rings and curves to repair the snow-capped mountain? How do we do that?"

Shad asked, and Winnie gave the answer:
"Just as the Fatu people performed a sacrifice at the Shadow of Hem, throwing the rings from this place [Saint's Cliff] and letting them fall, so too did the diviners of the Mythical Era deal with fate. The Ring of Doom can be dealt with in the same way; letting it fall will dissipate the solidified fate."

This is the method left by Ms. White, and it's also the best way to deal with the Doomsday Ring.

Shad nodded. The meteors continued to streak across the sky, growing ever more dazzling and numerous. He issued a command to the people:
"In my name and that of the chosen ones, I hereby notify all those who have obtained the Ring of Destiny in this battle to gather all the Rings of Destiny that can be found, as well as any counterfeit ones, and bring them here. The danger of the Curved Arc is not that serious, but for the sake of the snow mountain and for the future, gather as many Curved Arcs as possible and send them here."

The end of the great battle doesn't mean the end of everything. I'm here waiting for fate to unfold. Frozen destiny can bring power, but every gift comes with a price. Don't let greed create hidden dangers.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Summoner!"

Everyone spoke in unison, and then messages and orders were sent out from the mountaintop.

Although the monsters in the sea and on the islands did not completely disappear after the serpent's defeat, they were no longer a major problem without the apocalyptic environment. So tonight, all those who had gathered the Ring of Destiny were summoned to the mountaintop, along with the unclaimed Rings of Destiny, the forged rings, and the numerous curved arcs.

Of course, besides those who transported "Destiny", representatives of various forces who heard that the War of Destiny had ended and that the Summoner was going to destroy "Destiny" also gathered at the mountaintop ruins. This was one of the few opportunities to directly contact the "Summoner".

The convergence of destinies takes time and cannot be accomplished in an instant. But fortunately, the most important battle of the night is over, so Shad has plenty of time to wait.

The people on the cliff overlooking the ruins then worked together to build a campfire and establish a campsite, where they rested for the time being. Most of them did not leave, but only a few went down the mountain carrying news and responsibilities.

After Sylvia returned the tower to its original position, she gathered with the other witches. Adele, in her mortal form, also joined them, but would occasionally steal a glance at Shad. The other factions also had their respective places in the cliffside camp according to their relationships with each other.

While people rested and talked after the battle, only Shad and Ellie stood on the cliff edge, continuing to deal with things.

"Then I'll go back first."

After greeting Shad, the chosen ones of the earth left immediately, as the heart of the earth still needed their protection.

Although Mr. Albert was very concerned about his perfect attendance record and planned to return to Moon Bay immediately, he at least stayed and spoke a few words with Shad.

"I wasn't able to help much this time, but things were handled really well this time."

Mr. Albert and Shad stood together on the cliff edge, gazing at the sea of ​​stars:

"You seem very worried?"

"Of course I'm worried. After fate, there are only four chosen ones left."

The vampire coroner laughed:

"Even though the great war is over, you are still the biggest contributor, yet you're still saying things like this. Perhaps what happened after all the chosen ones appeared wasn't as terrible as you think."

"How's your recovery going?"

Shade also asked him, and Mr. Albert neither nodded nor shook his head:

"Rest assured, at least when I am needed in the end, I will definitely be able to break free from the seal of the stone statue and appear in the form of the Thirteen Rings."

"That's good."

"Then see you next time, Evoker. Light is the bond that connects you and me. Please come to me anytime you need my help."

He transformed into a beam of light and flew away from the cliff. Only after the light disappeared into the night did the three demigod witches walk towards Shad together.

Adele blurred her face, clearly not wanting too many people to see who she was, while Violet, whose body had become semi-transparent, looked full of regret.
"Although I can say goodbye properly this time, it's just goodbye. The enemy this time was indeed very strong. I fought too fiercely and didn't stop. Otherwise, I would have liked to stay for a while."

There will be opportunities. Perhaps the next time we meet, I will be back in your time.

Shad said, but the blonde witch empress glanced at Chloe and Adele beside her, and asked in a coquettish tone:

"Before I leave, you have to answer one question for me—what are those silver flame marks on the foreheads of these two demigod sisters? I saw them just now. It seems the blessings the gods bestow upon us lowly witches are limited after all~"

"Violet, how about I give this to you next time we meet?"

Shad answered, and the blonde witch empress nodded in satisfaction, but then added a reminder:

“You know, I want more than just the mark; I want the reason they got the mark.”

She winked at Xia De, clearly knowing a lot.

Although Violet was summoned by Shad using [Wax Stone], she was the first to appear and consumed less energy, thus contributing the most. As the effect of the Ascended Word was nearing its end, she kissed him reluctantly before lifting her skirt and nodding in farewell.

"I know you still have a lot to take care of, so please allow me to leave first."

But before her body disappeared into the light and shadow, she hugged Shad again and whispered quickly in his ear:

"Next time, remember to summon me again! I've left behind quite a few wax stones all over the world, so look carefully!"
