The sun shone all over his body. After burning his divinity, Xia De felt extremely exhausted. He was not happy, but sighed:
“But turning back time will cause more panic among the surviving citizens of Yuewan City. Moreover, even if my power is enough to reverse time, I cannot revive the lives that have already passed away.
The prophecy of the destruction of Moon Bay finally came true."
Xia De couldn't guess how many citizens were implicated and died in just two hours, but he had done his best and there was nothing he could do about it.
"I always felt like I should do something. I inherited power, and I should take responsibility."
Ptolemy Albert said, pausing for a moment before looking at his right hand. In the afternoon sun, the gem appeared in his hand, with 58 facets emitting dazzling seven-color luster.
Shade didn't see anything in it, but the coroner looked down and suddenly realized:
"So that's it."
He suddenly turned to Xia De and said:
"Remember the oath we made before this battle?"
The bright summer sunlight was blinding even to Shade. He squinted his eyes and looked at Mr. Albert, nodding slowly:
"Of course remember, if I die, your light will be given to those closest to me; if you die, my light will merge into the light that chose you."
"But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is: if we can both survive this war, we will exchange the strength that we need most."
Ptolemy Albert took back the Hope Silmaril and extended his right hand to Shade. Although the tired stranger didn't understand why, he also held the hand of the chosen one, and he received a series of hints from "her":
[Stranger, you have obtained the light of the Chosen One.]
[You swallowed a ray of "eternal light":]
[Soul strength is increased, light resistance is increased, and the power related to light is increased. No darkness can cover your eyes. ]
[Outsider, you have lost the magic: the power of the earth, blessing all things. ]
Xia De was startled, and then looked at the coroner in surprise. The latter was also a little surprised, but soon relieved:
"If that's the case, I think that's enough."
"Do you really want this?"
Xia De asked in confusion, looking at the ruined city below:
"I know you want to protect this place and save thousands of people, but is it really necessary to sacrifice yourself?"
He didn't understand at all:
"Your presence is more important than your absence."
"You don't mean to say, for the greater good?"
M. Albert asked, smiling:
"Then answer me a question, God Summoner. Why did you use your own life to block the attack from the evil god just now?
Although I don't know much about your situation, you should have died after that blow, right? Was it the Moon God who brought you back?"
Shade opened his mouth, but couldn't answer the question.
"Godcaller, if you can sacrifice for this city, why can't I?"
His tone was relaxed:
"Justice is not something that only you can practice. The only difference between us is that you performed justice during the war, and I did it after that. By the way, the chosen one of justice and light is actually me."
Together with Shade, he continued to look at the Moon Bay beneath the clouds and fog. The terrain of the Moon Bay had changed permanently because of the war between gods. The crescent-shaped golden coast and the excellent port no longer existed.
"I have lived here longer than you have, and I have met, known, and passed by many more friends here than you have. Besides, hasn't what happened just now proved that you can still do well even without me?"
Ptolemy Albert smiled brightly:
"You know the story of my life very well. I always encounter things that are difficult to evaluate. But now I am very happy. I am still the same person I was at the beginning. If justice needs to be enforced, I will not hesitate at all - this is my justice."
"But."
If Mr. Albert had done anything wrong, it was only fitting that after the war he wanted to save thousands of lives by his self-sacrifice.
But the problem is that he did nothing wrong. [Eternal Light] may have acted too radically sometimes, but it was not a big mistake. The problem is that the outsider knows that he has no right to stop others from doing a just thing.
He never arrogantly thinks that what he thinks is right.
"The Hope Diamond told me how to save everything. Although the ancient prophecy has become a reality, Godcaller, the prophecy only said that the city would be destroyed, but it did not say what would happen after that. Therefore, you and I must continue to save Moon Bay together and write the story after the prophecy."
He pointed downwards:
“You have the ability to reverse time on a large scale in today’s era, and I can use the miracles of the ancient gods to erase people’s memories and bring back those who have left. Then everything will return to its original state, and Moon Bay will still be Moon Bay.
This is really great, did you notice? Most of the souls of the people who died in this disaster did not reach the end, but were captured by the thick fog. Therefore, this does not even violate the rule that life and death cannot be reversed. "
"But the world still needs your strength. You can't put all the responsibility on me."
Xia De said again, and the coroner shook his head slightly:
"So, you can't put the responsibility of saving the world on me. As for the special light that was born because of the distortion of the world's essence, after I leave, the eternal light will continue to run in the world, and it will suppress this distorted power."
More and more ring sorcerers from the church and academy, through various means, came to the sky sacrificial site to clean up the battlefield and heal those respectable people who took the final risk and rushed towards the gods with the chosen ones.
But they all politely avoided the location where Shade and the coroner were, and also avoided the location where the witches and the "Glory Messenger" were.
Both Shad and the coroner were silent for a moment, and Shad suddenly turned around and waved to Iluna.
So Luvia gave the recovering girl an encouraging push, and Iluna then walked towards the two of them.
"Come and help me judge."
Xia De told the 18-year-old girl roughly what happened. Her hair was disheveled and draped behind her, and her clothes had many burn marks and scratches, but she still listened to Xia De's story carefully.
Iluna nodded to show her understanding and looked at him seriously:
"Shad, if someone wants to dispense justice, and it's not a stupid move, I don't think we need to stop them."
Xia De's "resurrection" made the crazy girl very happy, and her eyes were bright at this time:
"Everyone's life is priceless. If this is the choice this gentleman made for his own life, we should bless him and express our respect."
Although she often said that everything was decided by Shade and Luvia, she did have her own ideas:
"Mr. Albert can have such thoughts now. I can probably understand why he was chosen."
The middle-aged coroner nodded slightly to her:
"I can also understand why the upside-down judge chose you to be in charge of the balance in this era."
Then he asked Xiang Xiade:
"Are you willing to cooperate with me? Reversing time and resurrecting the dead. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to participate in such an operation."
Xia De did not give a direct answer:
"You inherited this special magic from me, so you should understand the requirements for using this magic: you inherited the power, you believe in the ancient gods, and you are strong enough to perform miracles.
But the problem is that I don’t have the most critical spellcasting material now. The three Philosopher’s Stones I prepared for this operation have all been consumed, and the last one was eaten by my cat not long ago.”
As he spoke, he looked at Tifa's chest not far away. The cat was waiting for Shad to come back. It looked energetic, and its beautiful orange-white fur was as shiny as when Shad first saw it on the roof of the pet store last summer:
"Meow!"
The coroner in a robe shook his head and took out a bright red stone the size of a quarter of a fist with a strong smell of blood from his robe pocket.
This is certainly not the Philosopher's Stone, this thing is simply a collection of sticky blood. Obviously, any smell at the edge of the open aerial sacrificial field will be quickly blown away by the wind, but Shad and Iluna were still choked by the smell of blood.
"Blood Essence of All Things is a top-level alchemical material that only our clan can refine. When Armand asked the church for material assistance, the elders of Willendel gave him this piece very reluctantly. Armand was worried about my safety, so he gave it to me yesterday."
The casting materials of [Power of the Earth·Blessing All Things] are indeed not limited to the Philosopher's Stone, but can include Philosopher's Stone/Blood of Mercury/Blood Essence of All Things and other high-level alchemical materials used to shape life.
At this point all the conditions were in place. Even though Shade was extremely exhausted due to the end of his divine burning state, the blessings of thousands of activated souls still allowed him to use the maze with all his strength.
Otherwise, no matter how many spirits he had, it would be impossible for him to turn back the time of an entire city.
The coroner held the piece of [Blood Essence of All Things] and did not continue to urge Shade. Shade turned his head and looked at Luvia who was standing with the witches. Luvia just smiled at him. As long as Shade was still alive, the purple-eyed girl didn't care about other things.
"If this is what you wish, allow me to pay my respects to you."
When Shad said this, a smile appeared on Ptolemy Albert's face:
"Allow me to thank you on behalf of the citizens of Yuewan. After all, many people think that houses and property are more important than life."
"Yes, the saddest thing in life is probably that you are still alive but have no money at all."
Iluna took two steps back and looked at the aura of miracle elements and enlightenment elements blooming from the two people, stirring up again the tides of elements and spirits that had just subsided in the sacrificial field.
By the time the other people in the sacrificial site realized that a new problem had arisen, the sound of the surging waves and the humid air had already rushed towards them.
