Chapter 3847 Destiny - The Falling Star
The battle of fate that began on Friday night has now come to an end, with destiny finally converging. People emerge from the forest to witness the spectacle, the power of the Shadlock is nearing its end, and the distant forest landscape has begun to crumble.
So Shad threw the "Agreement" behind him, and immediately the thirteen rings, amidst the clanging sounds, flew into the night sky in arcs of light.
Shad then took Ellie's hand and leaped into the air. At this moment, the serpent, which was firmly suppressed by the power of the six chosen ones, struggled even more fiercely. The three demigod witches also intervened, using the last of their strength to help suppress the Doomsday Serpent.
The combined power of the six chosen ones and the three demigods finally rendered the serpent completely immobile. Meanwhile, in the starry sky, Shad said to Ellie:
"Since the starry sky reveals the myriad aspects of destiny, how about we use the power of the stars to bring the story of destiny to an end?"
Ellie certainly wouldn't have any objections:
"However, I will not use the power of the stars."
She unusually uttered a complete sentence, so Shad asked:
"Can you turn into a unicorn so I can ride it?"
He was a little embarrassed, but Ellie nodded quickly and then returned to her original appearance.
As Shad rode the unicorn, "she" was still laughing in his ear. When Shad asked "her" what she was laughing about, "she" refused to say.
So the unicorn and the knight prepared themselves in the air. The "apple" Ellie had lent Shad had connected him to the destiny bestowed upon him by the twelve powerful maidens. This special "connection" made destinies that did not originally belong to Shad his power at this moment.
The thirteen rings of fate resonated with Shad, and the power that should never have appeared in the material world under normal circumstances became a reality with the help of the chosen ones and with all the girls giving their hearts to Shad.
At this point, in terms of fate, the outsider was no different from the snake. And since Shad had just chosen to "fall," he was prepared to use that fall as his final blow. Their power converged, and they transformed into new stars in the night sky.
"Ellie, three, two, one! Fate - Falling Star Strike!"
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Thirteen flying rings grew larger in the air and were arranged from top to bottom, starting with "the agreement" and ending with "the fall".
Shad and Ellie in the air had also transformed into white meteors, passing through the center of the thirteen Rings of Fate in turn. With each ring they passed through, the falling star became larger and brighter.
As they passed through the last ring, the wind pressure from the falling meteor even distorted and twisted the entire forest landscape. Even knowing it wasn't directed at her, Adelina, who was with her sisters, still felt her heart leap into her throat when she looked up at the white star.
Even more so because it was so enormous, when the falling star was about to touch the giant sand dunes in the forest, Adelina felt that the star was falling so slowly. Then—
Boom!
The bottom of the meteorite touched the top of the dune, and the next second a dazzling white light burst forth, filling her vision. Adelina felt the ground suddenly launch her upwards, but fortunately, her two "older sisters" pulled her up on either side.
The white light stung her, causing her to cry incessantly. Lacey, standing nearby, sighed and treated Adelina again.
When Adelina could see her surroundings again, the forest scene had shrunk to an area smaller than a square, and the sand dunes that had been there were now a huge meteorite crater—so Mount Faldomumster had indeed been hit by meteorites many times.
However, the meteorite crater was located inside the Maze, so when the scene inside the Maze turned into pieces of light and dissipated, the meteorite crater also disappeared.
As the world returned to normal, Adelina finally saw her surroundings. Because of their movement within the labyrinthine lock, coupled with the spatial instability caused by the collision of worlds, they were no longer in their original positions.
Above them stretched a vast expanse of stars. Adelina saw that the forty or fifty people who had participated in the final battle were all standing together, while Shad and Ellie stood together on the edge of the cliff.
Looking around again, she saw a tower not far away, and a plaza surrounded by stone pillars. Adelina, combining this with the description she'd heard at the pre-battle meeting, realized this was the highest point of the ruins, the cliff face.
Although Shad had repeatedly emphasized to everyone before the battle that they should not be here unless absolutely necessary, since everyone did not come voluntarily, they should be fine.
The snow had stopped, and the thick fog that had enveloped the island had mostly dissipated. Although rolling yellow sand still lingered in the areas not covered by the power of the illusion, the March sun was high in the sky, and although the mountain wind was biting, the scenery above the mountains was no longer shrouded in any gloom.
"So, the battle of fate is over?"
After a moment of silence following the shattering of the maze, Miss Eden of the Sun Crest asked Shad, "The battle that began on Friday night has continued until now, and even the thirteenth-ring sorcerers are already exhausted."
Shad had been staring blankly at the snow-capped mountain scenery outside the cliff after realizing he was back at "Saint Cliff," but now, he turned around and looked at the people who were still standing there.
After a moment's hesitation, he shook his head and gave the answer that sent chills down most people's spines:
"No, it's not over yet."
Chloe, whose figure was beginning to turn transparent, asked with an appreciative look:
"why?"
When the demigod witch spoke, Miss Eden immediately took a step back and bowed slightly as a sign of respect. Shad, meeting those pairs of eyes, continued to answer:
"There are two reasons. First, before the snake shed its skin, you all saw that it was a two-headed snake, but after it shed its skin, it did not seem to show the 'two-headed' characteristic, and even its final appearance was not two-headed."
His eyes swept across the crowd:
"This is definitely not a normal phenomenon."
"And the second reason?"
Violet then asked, and Shad took out the horn pendant hanging from his chest, wiped it on his body, and transformed it into a real horn:
"Since it's a story of destiny, there's no reason why the key items in this story wouldn't have been used even after the final battle."
At this point, he realized that there was still one "key prop" that hadn't been used.
"Once this horn is sounded, the Doomsday Serpent will be forced to come before me, but it will also make the Doomsday Serpent stronger."
He gave a brief introduction, then stood under the starry sky and asked the people present:
"Guess what will happen if I blow this now?"
Most people looked rather grim. Luvia raised an eyebrow and glanced at Sylvia, who was holding the [Night Watcher]. Guild Master Lenorman, who had joined the battle in the latter half, turned to look around. The thirteen-ringed diviner understood that Shad was probably right; the snake was still there.
Taking a deep breath, atop the snow-capped mountain beneath a sea of stars, Shad sounded the "horn of doomsday" bestowed upon him by the angel of death—
Woo~
The sound of the horn sent chills down people's spines, yet no one could explain why the sound was so unsettling.
As the horn sounded, a strange sound suddenly came from the [Tower of Myriad Forms] standing not far away. Then, with a whoosh, a plume of black smoke, as if forcibly drawn, drifted out from the tower's entrance and went straight to Shad.
In the black smoke, Mr. Snake reappeared. This time, however, his left eye was a bloody hole, and his entire body was covered in afterimages, as if his very existence was about to split into thousands of different things.
"You consumed the [Ouroboros Eye] and then broke into the Tower of All Things?"
Even though Xia De had guessed the snake's possible behavior, he was still startled by its current appearance.
Upon hearing Shad's voice, the trembling phantom serpent looked up at him, then strode towards him, who was facing away from the edge of the cliff.
Every step it takes forward paints the world a hazy yellow again, and every second it exists in this world accelerates the world toward its doomsday.
This time, the snake didn't display overwhelming power, but Xia De clearly sensed that the aura emanating from it now, after what it had experienced in the Tower of All Things, was more in line with the terrifying power he had felt in the apocalypse of his past lives.
It no longer uses its own dreams to drag the world into the apocalypse; at this moment, the snake, like Shad, clearly knows exactly what the "end of the world" means.
"It saw the real apocalypse from inside the tower!"
The others tried to intervene, but found they could no longer get close to the two people at the edge of the cliff. Shad waved his left hand behind his back, then asked in a low voice the snake that was getting closer and closer to him:
"Let me ask you a question: Do you know what the biggest mistake you made of all the things you planned before the story of your destiny began?"
The snake, its body constantly swaying and casting afterimages as it moved, did not speak, and Shad could not determine its current state:
"Your biggest mistake was daring to deceive the entire Cult of Doom!"
Amidst the whistling wind, the only unused pistol flew into Shad's hand, and he pointed the muzzle at the snake that had already reached him.
The gun Shad used on himself just now was the "Gun of Kindness," and the bullets were "Lucky Bullets." He didn't know what the empty gun in the god's hand was, but the bullets in this third gun must be "Destruction Bullets" endowed with the attribute of "Inevitable Kill" by the god.
Whether this gun is a "one-shot kill gun" or a "one-shot hit pistol," as long as it hits—
Bang!
Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger. The gun that appeared in the first act must have been pulled before the curtain fell. As he pulled the trigger, the stranger suddenly realized that the gun in his hand must be the "one-hit kill gun" that the devil was looking for. It must be the gun that he had heard about when he first arrived on the island and that the witch had left in the mountains.
Only in this way can the foreshadowing planted from the very beginning on the "stage of fate" be fully resolved. This is not a coincidence; it is inevitable.
"But what if it's a [one-hit kill gun]?"
The gun barrel was practically pressed against the snake's head, but what happened the next second still made Shad's eyes widen in disbelief.
That bullet, which would have been a guaranteed kill if it hit, actually passed through the snake's swaying body. The "One-Hit Kill Gun" doesn't actually guarantee a hit; the bullet didn't truly pass through an illusion, but rather it simply missed its target at such close range.
PS: You can try to guess what foreshadowing will ultimately kill the snake in the end of the story.
The next chapter will be finished.
