Cloud Thinking

"Swear to follow His Highness to the death!"

No one objected to what Eric said. After seeing the overwhelming tide of monsters, they knew very well that this was an inevitable disaster. There were too many people standing behind them. They could neither run nor retreat.

Everyone was ready to die, so after a simple packing, they chased after the tide of beasts in the sky.

This beast tide that covered the sky and the sun was so eye-catching and conspicuous that everyone who saw it either ran away or chased after it.

As expected, they ran into Pleaton's team on the way. The original team of eight people was reduced to five people, and everyone was injured.

But even so, after seeing the beast tide, they did not choose to run away, but chased after them.

After the two teams met, they had almost no communication and gathered together to continue moving forward. They had the same goal, which was to stop the tide of beasts and do everything they can to stop it for as long as possible.

Helia's mind was in a mess, her eyes were blank, and she ran forward with the team like a zombie.

She still didn't understand why the war broke out suddenly, which was not mentioned in the original work. After she crossed over, she had hardly dealt with monsters. The mad tiger was the first monster she had encountered that had developed self-awareness. It couldn't be that she killed the monster and caused the war, right?

"Aya, this is not your fault," Wattsise consoled him. "The monsters are evolving. When the first monster develops self-awareness, a war between humans and monsters is inevitable."

"If not now, then someday in the future."

"This is not anyone's fault. Warcraft survives by plundering, and you humans protect your homeland. No one is wrong, but this world is so small."

"Will the gods not intervene?" Helia asked anxiously. "With monsters invading, human homes being destroyed, wars raging, and death rampant, how can order still hold?"

"Without people, there is no faith, you..."

Before Helia finished speaking, she was interrupted by Wattsise: "Adalesi should have told you that the power of faith is just a garnish on the cake for us. Even if we lose the power of faith, it will not have much impact on us."

"Not everyone is a victim of war. I am a beneficiary, and many gods are also beneficiaries. As you said, order will definitely be weakened, and many gods who rely on faith will be weakened."

"Faith is the last drop of water in a cup for them. Although it is small, it is vital. So they try their best to maintain order in this world, just to preserve their faith."

"But if the gods take action, this war will eventually turn into a war among all the gods. That would be a disaster that would destroy the heavens and the earth. You don't want to see that."

"You...you can't help me either?"

At that moment, Helia truly realized how insignificant she was. In the face of war and the tide of history, no matter how strong she was, she was just a human being, as light as a blade of grass, and would not even make a sound if she fell into the river.

"Aya, if I take action, the gods will be unable to sit still." Watersise said tactfully.

"Then...then what should I do...what can I do?" Helia said blankly. She was really confused now. She felt as if she had a lot of things to do, but it seemed that she could not do anything.

"Aya, this war has just begun, and no one knows who will win. What you can do is to strive for victory as much as possible." Watersiser said, "I don't want a group of ugly, uncontrollable beasts to rule this land in the end."

"I will stand behind you and support you, just keep moving forward."

Watersiser's words undoubtedly comforted Helia. She took several deep breaths to calm her restless mind. Being anxious and panicking now would not solve any problems. She had to calm down.

Although their team had a large number of people, they seemed pitifully small in front of the tide of monsters. Although there were some powerful magicians among them, the role they could play was still minimal in the face of overwhelming numbers.

They need help, strong help, or a lot of help.

Helia quickly thought of a place - her tower. The source of the tower's power was not destroyed, and according to her previous thoughts, the reason why this tower gained faith was because it could resist the invasion of monsters and covered a wide range.

That was a wonderful magic circle that even Watersise praised. If we could adjust it a little bit and use its power to attack the monsters in the sky...

"Father, can you help me change the tower's magic circle for our use?" Helia asked.

"Of course you can. I think you can do it even without my help, with what you've learned before." Wattsiser said gently, "I'm glad you can cheer up."

"But how can I lure those monsters over here?" With Watersise's guarantee, the first step should be no problem, but she was troubled by the second step.

She was not sure whether the tower was located on the route that the monsters would pass. If not, even if the tower had great power, it would not be able to launch a laser cannon like a missile.

"It's very simple, just leave it to me." Wattsiser said, "But before that, you have to be mentally prepared to fight against the dragon."

Helia laughed dryly. She had no preparation at all, let alone mental preparation. She could only take things one step at a time. Even if she had to fight the dragon in the end, she would have no choice. The worst that could happen was death. Haha, it was no big deal, right?

Helia sneaked away while the others were busy on their way and not paying attention. Before leaving, she stuffed a note in Lukeman's pocket to prevent anyone from panicking if they found out she was missing.

Under Watersiser's guidance, Helia once again returned to the tower, which she had left with disgust, but now shone like a treasure.

Helia jumped into the small pit and returned to the tower along the way she had left. After she left, the tower was in tatters, as if there had been an earthquake, with cracked floors, shattered walls, and broken stairs.

It's really like a long time since we last met...

"Father, if you are in the tower, will your power still be suppressed?"

Helia walked up the spiral staircase. She wanted to return to the restaurant and jump from the icon of the God of Wisdom to the room where Turhei's body was stored. The source of power for the entire tower was there, and she needed to start from there.

"No, this war has given me enough strength. This tower is no longer enough to suppress me." Watersise replied.

Fortunately, the small dark room was not damaged. Everything was the same as before Helia left. She moved Turhei's body aside, held up her little flame, and carefully analyzed the huge and complicated magic circle with Watersise.

"What a wonderful magic circle! The designer is a genius."

It can be heard that Wattsisse admires Seventh very much. Perhaps this is the mutual admiration between geniuses. He does not hesitate to appreciate and praise Seventh.

"The defense mechanism of this magic circle is too strong. I can't even inject magic power into it. If I inject it, it will be rejected. What should I do?" Helia didn't have time to listen to His praise and asked impatiently.

"I'll help you, don't worry." Watersiser was like her golden finger, easily solving the problem that Helia was helpless with.

The figure of Wattsise floated out of her body and condensed into a physical body beside her. He changed into another set of clothes. He looked very handsome, but Helia had no time to appreciate it. He raised his hand and pressed it on the magic circle. A dark red light flashed, and Helia felt that the huge magic power like a vortex had settled down.

Wattsise smiled at Helia and took her hand. "Then it's your time. I'll be by your side."

A warm current flowed from Watersise's hands. Helia knew that Watersise had given her more power, and she estimated that her current strength was not enough to break the magic circle.

"I will do my best." Helia's eyes were firm. She gently squeezed Watersiser's hand, then let go and devoted herself to dismantling the magic circle.

She was responsible for dismantling it, and as for the subsequent repair, it all depended on Watersiser. Helia re-added the new magic formula according to what He said. After all, Helia wanted to reuse this magic circle, not just destroy it.

The magic formula that was previously incomprehensible to her has now become Helia's test paper. She has to complete this test paper within a limited time and get a high score. This is no less than having to write the college entrance examination mathematics paper right after learning trigonometric functions.

Wattsise was a good teacher. Whenever Helia got stuck, he would come over to give her guidance, and his explanations were simple and easy to understand. In addition, Helia was naturally talented, so this time, it only took her one day to solve the last round.

The last circle was still an ancient magic that had never been seen before. Helia had no choice but to give way to Watersise. This time, Helia didn't need to spend any more magic power. Watersise just wiped it lightly, and the original magic pattern disappeared. Then, strange patterns grew out like flesh and blood, filling the blank in the innermost circle of the magic circle.

There is no need to worry about the magic circle outside the tower, just cut it off. The last step is to inject all the power of the tower into the magic circle they have modified and then trigger it.

"Are you ready?" Watersise looked at Helia gently, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with Helia's answer.

Helia stared at Him for a long time, then held His hand and said seriously, "Father, thank you. I am very happy to be your child."

"If I die unfortunately..."

She suddenly smiled, let out a breath, and let go of all the bad emotions in her heart.

"Then consider it as me bowing to fate. I accept my fate."

Watersise raised his hand and touched her head, rubbing it gently, with a look of compassion.

"If you die, I will let the world hold a grand funeral for you to mourn my only child."

Helia: Uh... I'm not going to let the whole world be buried with me, am I? That shouldn't be the case, right?

"Let's get started." Helia tightened her grip on Watersiser's hand. Holding His hand, Helia would feel much more at ease.

Watersiser looked at her and held her hand tightly. Then, she didn't know what he did, but she heard an angry roar from a faraway place. Helia almost immediately guessed that it was the roar of a dragon.

Damn, he sounds really angry. How should I respond?

Because of nervousness, Helia's palms were sweating, and her heart was beating fast, thump thump, proving that she was still alive. Because it was very quiet around her, her breathing seemed a little noisy. In a trance, she suddenly realized that Watersise seemed to have no heartbeat and did not need to breathe.

These inexplicable thoughts popped into her mind, and she laughed for no reason. Watersise gave her a puzzled look, and she looked back, smiled and shook her head to indicate that it was nothing.

The dragon was not far from her, and it was possible that Watersise had been luring the dragon to this direction from the beginning, so she didn't have to wait too long.

But perhaps because of her nervousness, she felt that the waiting period was particularly long, so long that she had even thought of her last words in her mind.

She heard the sound of flapping wings, the mad roars of wild beasts, and the roars of angry dragons. The sounds were getting louder and louder, but at this moment they were no match for the sound of her violently beating heart.
