Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——Rani’s teacher, the Snow Witch, turned out to be the goddess with night-colored eyes.

——And Torret is the spiritual life created by her and Queen Marika?

One breaking news after another left me dumbfounded. In my mind, it was as if Mars hit the Earth and a huge fireworks scene exploded.

Facing Melina's appearance, petite Lani put her hands on her waist and tilted her head: "Golden Witch, as expected, you have a close relationship with the queen."

"······" Melina stared at the petite Lani in silence.

Lani was a little bit at a loss: "What, what happened? Ah——"

Melina held the petite Lani in her palm, looked at her carefully, and then suddenly exclaimed to me: "How cute! I didn't expect the Moon Princess to have such a cute side, Master Zero!"

"Wow! What are you doing? You are bringing shame to the witch. Be careful or I will curse you, the golden witch!" The petite Lani was so anxious that she swung her arms and kicked her feet in Melina's hands.

Instead, Melina was even more interested: "The workmanship is so detailed that even the frown is so lifelike."

"ah!"

——Girls really have no resistance to cute things, and Meimei is no exception.

But I also had to remind her: "Mei, Melina, Lani is angry."

Melina finally came to her senses and quickly put the petite Lani down, then bowed and apologized: "Ah, I am so sorry, Moon Princess."

"Damn it! I really shouldn't show up like this. It's such a shame!" Lani was still angry.

"I'm so sorry, Your Highness, Moon Princess." Melina was so sincere that she was prostrated. "Your figure is indeed too petite and pitiful... I now understand why Master Zero always makes some incredible moves every time he meets you."

"Hey, don't involve me like this, Melina." I was shocked.

"...Okay, okay, one day, I, the witch Lani, will curse both of you!" Lani took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and returned to her dignified princess appearance. "So, you just said that my teacher, the Snow Witch, and your mother, Queen Marica, created Torret together. What's going on?"

"That's right, that's right. Logically, shouldn't the goddess with the midnight eyes be a mortal enemy of Queen Marika? And how could they have created Torret together?" I also followed up on Lani's words and asked.

But Melina shook her head. "Mother and the goddess are just the destined children chosen by God. Under the guidance of the finger, they must fight for the throne of King Elden and enforce their own laws. There is no so-called deep hatred between them... After being chosen by God, mother took the power of the Goddess of the Night's Eye and was willing to accept her and her believers, but was rejected. However, she did not have the intention to kill them all."

...It seems so. Although there are few God-Skin Apostles nowadays, they are still wandering around the border areas.

The ancestral spirits also have a close relationship with the goddess with midnight eyes, but their presence is still seen under the ground of Lienia and Nimug, and they have also received the blessing of "eternity".

"So, what exactly is going on with Torret?" I continued to ask.

"Just like the goddess with the night-colored eyes once controlled the [death] of the borderland, my mother is more inclined to control [birth], and then she longs to create [eternity]." Melina continued to explain, "Master Ling, you should still remember Torret's other identity, the budding king of the ancestors... It was during that war that the ancestors made a deal with the goddess with the night-colored eyes who was nearby at the time, begging her to give birth to a new king of the ancestors. But the goddess was not good at this, and after the defeat of the God's Chosen, her ability was deprived and sealed, and she could not complete the task with the ancestors. Therefore, she turned to her mother for help... Because her mother had just obtained the power of [Death] and was troubled by not being able to master and use it skillfully, she gladly accepted the request of the goddess of the night eye and created the spirit horse Torret together. With this, she found a way to achieve [Eternity]... During this time, Torret was raised by the goddess, but it seemed that in order to maintain my soul state, my mother went to find the goddess and got Torret... And before I met Master Zero, Torret had been using its power to keep me."

As if she had seen it with her own eyes, Melina narrated the past events of the two most honorable gods in the border area.

——No, maybe she really saw it with her own eyes, which is not impossible.

Unfortunately, the [Eternity] that Marika found was not perfect. Finally, she realized this and smashed the Elden Ring, leaving the border area in a mess.

"Hmph, if there's no finger guiding you, can't you get along well, teacher?" Lani sighed softly.

"... I seem to have some impression of the gate you two mentioned just now." Melina changed the subject, causing Lani and I to look at her. "That seems to be the gate of God where Mother sealed the death. It really exists, but in another land."

"A desolate place?" I remembered the thick fog before A-Ti and the others started to return to the border area.

But Melina shook her head: "That is the hometown where my mother was born, the kingdom of the dead that has disappeared... Now, the gate is sealed, and no one can find it."

My brain kind of shut down.

——Wasn’t Queen Marika born in the border area?

——What is this Kingdom of the Dead... Could it be the stuff in the DLC “Shadow of the Golden Tree”? When my Ah Dai Ling was reincarnated, I wasn’t able to play it yet!

There is absolutely no information or plot about that, but the death curse in reality seems to be related. What should I do?

······But, having said that, it’s quite interesting.

According to Melina, Queen Marika from the Kingdom of Death is in charge of [Birth], while the goddess with the night-colored eyes who is already at the border is in charge of [Death]... It's really a reversal of the destiny.

"Okay, let's stop here for now regarding [Death]," Melina said to me, "Master Ling, since you have contacted Princess Ranie, there must be something more important?"

"Hmm? Oh - yes, yes, yes, the law!" As Melina frowned, I suddenly understood and quickly said to Lani, "Lani, there is something I want to ask about the law you are looking for."

"The law I'm looking for?" Lani glanced at Melina and explained, "The law I'm looking for is not gold, but the law of stars and moon, coldness and night... I hope everything will stay away from this land, everything that can be seen, felt, believed in, and touched... everything will become impossible. By then, I will abandon this land with my law..."

"What? Abandon this land?! Then, what about the lives and souls here?" Melina asked in surprise.

"They will be freed from all restraints and develop freely... Although I admit that it will be a long and dark night, I can guarantee that no so-called gods will be allowed to descend and act recklessly on the border."

Melina still couldn't accept Lani's explanation: "But if that's the case, even the king is fake, what's the point?!"

"that······"

"But isn't the existence of the so-called king a kind of bondage?" Lani immediately retorted, "It is precisely because of the guidance of those two fingers that countless people are fighting for the so-called throne, causing the border area to be in chaos now."

"·······Calm down, both of you."

——I have no say at all.

"A king is necessary! Only with the king's guidance can the border area return to prosperity again."

"Wrong guidance will only lead to eternal damnation faster. Blind obedience and imprisoned thinking will only lead to decline. Doesn't the history of the Border prove this point? Only by giving freedom to everyone and letting them think for themselves can we find the real way out for the Border."

Just like two quarreling cats, Melina and Lani's ideas kept colliding with each other, and the smell of gunpowder slowly filled the air.

"Actually... I think you all have a point." I carefully tried to help them calm down.

As a result, this sentence immediately attracted the attention of two people.

"Lord Zero, who would you rather trust and go with?!"
