Cloud Thinking

"Helia, let me remind you again, Watersiser is just trapped now, it doesn't mean he is asleep. If you want to attack him, he will definitely find out."

"If you can't make Him never wake up, you will die."

Adalaisi emphasized and reminded Helia once again that, based on the idea of ​​"I would rather die than let my friend die", since Helia chose to attack Watersise, she could not attack Him.

"Of course I know. If I hadn't been forced into this situation, I would not have chosen to betray my sub-father, my Father God." Helia said this, but there was no sign of reluctance or unwillingness on her face. She smiled happily.

"Okay, I'm glad you understand. Then how do you want me to help you?" Although Adalasi was a little worried, as Helia said, he couldn't just be trapped here and die.

Moreover, Helia was cunning and changeable in her mood. If he delayed any further, she might change her mind and attack him instead. He had to strike first and seize the opportunity.

The smile on Helia's face grew wider, and she twisted her fingers unconsciously. "I now possess the power of devouring. Of course, I am the one who devours my father's power, and you..."

“There are only two things to do.”

"When I fight with my father for power, you must do your best to protect me, and lend me some more strength."

The first condition was no problem. Adalasi was now on the same front as Helia, and their lives were tied together. There was no reason for him not to protect her.

But the second condition...

"You are so greedy. You want this and that. Aren't you afraid of being starved to death?" Adalasi scolded. He knew that Helia had not given up on her plan to take advantage of him. The only difference from what she said before was that one gave voluntarily while the other was forced to give.

Helia shrugged helplessly and said with a smile: "This is not greed. You have to know that with my own strength, how can I possibly deal with Watersiser? He is the God of War after all. If I don't have your help, I will definitely lose."

Of course Adalasi knew that this was a trap, but even if it was a trap, so what? Helia was now trying to take control of his power. Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative. If the initiative was in his hands, he could ensure that he retained enough power to prevent Helia, the cunning guy, from abandoning him.

Feeling a warm power flowing into her body, Helia let out a comfortable sigh and tried her best to mobilize the magic power in her body to wrap up the surging power and make it her own.

An endless supply of power filled her body and circulated within her body. Her body was like a bottomless pit, madly devouring the external power but showing no intention of bursting.

When the warmth spread throughout her body, Helia opened and clenched her palms repeatedly, feeling as if she had grasped something, but she couldn't see it clearly.

"Thank you. I will make good use of your power." Helia thanked her insincerely, but Adalassi did not speak.

It’s not that he didn’t want to speak, but he couldn’t speak. Because he had been deprived of too much strength, he fell into a deep sleep again.

From the moment Adalaisi gave him the power, he sensed something was wrong. A power that had been hidden in Helia's body began to stir, tearing apart the calm disguise on the surface and revealing its greedy nature. It not only swallowed up the power he gave out, but also plundered it in the opposite direction.

Even though He wanted to stop, He could not control His power from rushing into the huge mouth of the abyss. At that moment He realized that Helia had deceived Him and that she wanted to devour all of His power.

The reason for coaxing Him into cooperation was just to make Him willingly open the channel to release power.

As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Adalasis was tricked into opening a hole, and Helia was like a greedy fly, smelling the scent and coming, sucking away most of the power hidden under the eggshell.

"Father, I feel like I'm about to fly, so light." Helia carefully felt her body at this moment, just like a balloon filled with air, and it would soon float up.

"This power is still too much for you now. If it weren't for the power of faith that has poured into your body over the past six months, you would have exploded." A faint but still powerful voice sounded in her sea of ​​consciousness. It was the voice of Watersise. After half a year, she finally got in touch with her second father.

Perhaps it was because she had contact with Wotsise in Turhei's world of consciousness, or perhaps it was because her consciousness was withdrawn that Wotsise gradually awakened under the guidance of fate. The moment she returned to her body, she felt the seal in her body vibrating slightly and her heart felt hot.

But Adalasis seemed not to notice at all and didn't even mention it to her.

During the time she was lying under the clock, Helia was not only thinking about the relationship between the tower and the village that believed in the god Ornn, but at the same time, she noticed an uninvited guest appearing in her sea of ​​consciousness. When she closed her eyes and returned to her sea of ​​consciousness, she saw the familiar figure.

"Aya." Watersise's figure was blurry, like a reflection in the water, and any slight movement could disperse his figure.

"Father." Helia smiled and took two steps forward. She didn't know whether she was sincere or not and said, "I miss you so much."

Wattsise lowered his eyes and stared at Helia for a long time, then raised his hand and placed it on her head. The force was so light that Helia hardly felt it.

"They are quite capable, and I am sorry to have wronged you." He said as he stroked Helia's head.

Helia shook her head to indicate that it was okay, and then said, "Father, do you need me? How can I help you get out of this situation?"

Freeing Watersise would be freeing her. The reason why Qiqi wanted to seal Watersise again was to prove that he was also afraid of Him. As long as Watersise woke up, no matter whether the efforts so far had really been in vain, they would definitely fail.

Isn't that exactly what Helia wants!

Watersise smiled, and Helia didn't quite understand what that smile meant. Then she heard Him say, "You and I are one. Helping you is helping me, so hurry up and find a way to escape from here."

"Perhaps you don't know, this tower is surrounded by complex high-level magic arrays inside and out. With my current abilities, I will definitely not be able to escape." Helia said.

"Do you need power?" Watersise once again felt the greedy aura emanating from her and smiled with satisfaction.

Helia didn't hide it. If she wanted something, she wanted it. If she wanted something, she would say it. "I need you."

"Haven't you ever thought about the other idiot you share your body with?" Wattsiser asked. "You don't want to tell me you're going to keep Him forever?"

"Of course not." Helia answered without even thinking, "I just think that there are still some mysteries about Him that I haven't figured out yet. Maybe they will be of great use in the future."

"And now my life is tied to Adalassi's. I haven't thought of a better way to separate me from Him yet. For the sake of my life, I'd better be cautious."

Watsise just looked into her eyes without saying anything, but his expression said it all: He knew everything, and he had seen through everything long ago.

It only takes a moment to figure out what's going on in Helia's mind. She's simply worried that Watersise might go back on her word and stab her in the back, so she needs Adalasi to stand in between to balance her out. Her life is tied to Adalasi's, but her life is not tied to Watersise's.

As long as Watersise wanted, he could kill Helia without any worries.

At least before Helia herself becomes strong, before she has the power to challenge Watersise, she still needs Adalasis and will not abandon Him too quickly.

"No, you have to choose between me and Him." But Watersiser would not give Helia this opportunity. Helia did not trust Him, and He did not trust Helia either. But in order to accomplish great things, they must trust each other.

Therefore, He wanted to force Helia to choose Him. He wanted to tie Helia and Himself together tightly so that neither of them could or dared to betray each other.

"I want you to make a choice now."

Helia's expression froze. She obviously didn't expect that Watersise could see through her thoughts and asked her to make a choice now. She was a little flustered for a moment, lowered her head to avoid Watersise's hand that was touching her head, and took a few steps back.

Watersiser just stood aside with his arms folded, watching Helia lower her eyes in thought, her eyes full of pity, but also sharp.

Helia's thinking time did not last too long. She quickly raised her head and met Watersiser's gaze without being humble or arrogant. She said in a firm tone: "In fact, you don't have to test me like this. No matter whether I am reluctant or not, as long as I stand in front of you, I will always choose you."

"I had no choice."

"But I'm glad that you're willing to give me the power to choose, even though there's actually no choice, but you still asked me."

"You respect me. Although I cannot repay your respect with trust, I am willing to try..."

She smiled, took a few steps forward, stood in front of Wattsise, opened her arms and hugged the phantom, rested her head on Wattsise's chest, and finished her unfinished words: "I rely on you like a daughter relies on her father."

Watersise was slightly stunned by Helia's sudden hug. He didn't expect Helia to do this. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what the person in his arms was thinking.

Will you rely on me like a daughter relies on her father?

It's a feeling I've never experienced before. Maybe it will be very interesting...

He raised his arms and gently placed them on Helia's back, responding to her insulting yet refreshing embrace.

"Then I will cherish you like your father, my child."

Watersise and Helia reached an agreement and conspired together to deceive Adalaisi. As long as the other party gave in, Watersise would help her devour the other party's power.

Of course, not all of his strength, but it would be enough to make Adalasi unable to reappear without strength.

Now that the first step of the plan has been achieved and Helia has enough power, the second step is to find a way to leave the tower, which is the most difficult step.

Helia took Watersiser to look at the tightly guarded compound magic circle on the first floor to confirm whether it could be broken by force, and finally got a negative answer.

"It's a very sophisticated magic circle. The person who designed it is a genius. It can't be broken by force." Watersiser said, "Is there any other way?"

Helia took Him back to the room on the eighth floor. This was where she had stayed at first and it was also the core of the magic circle outside the tower, but Helia was separated from it by a thick and solid wall.

She placed her hand on the wall and tried to inject magic power into it to sense the constantly operating complex magic circle outside the tower.

After a moment of silence, Watersiser gave a similar answer: "There is no way to break it open violently. Even if you break the wall, you will still be trapped to death."

"Then what should we do?" Helia withdrew her hand, sat on the ground, raised her head and looked at the small iron window for exhaust and ventilation, thinking.

"There's not much food left. I can only stay here for half a month at most. If I don't get out before then, I'll starve to death," Helia said.
