The afternoon sun was shining brightly – but for Floating City, it was the last night before it rang the bell of death once and for all.

After losing the "Ring of Radiance", the floating city is, as Lévy said, on the verge of collapse.

As the energy from the central tower dissipated dramatically, the anti-gravity system that kept the city in the air was finally no longer sustainable - and the strangely shaped buildings that defied the common sense of general architectural physics and structural science began to collapse and collapse under the influence of the laws of physics because of the loss of "miraculous" powers. With the "Pivot Tower" as the center, a powerful impact continues to radiate the entire "floating city", setting off a huge wave in the air.

Finally, the "Central Tower" collapsed after repeated violent shaking - like the last straw that was pressed down, the crystallization of this ancient civilization with beautiful scenery and full of legends finally could not escape the fate of collapse - fragments of various sizes fell one after another, causing countless splashes on the vast surface of Lake Valyria.

And the people on the ground, before they had recovered from the ecstasy and cheers of the newly restored supply of power, were attracted by the strange sight in the air, which I am afraid they would never have the chance to see again—all of them put down what they were doing, and stood in place, quietly watching this scene that will never be forgotten.

It's not just ordinary people – even well-informed experts – are no exception in the face of this situation. Watching the last fragment fall to the bottom of the lake, the shaking waters of the lake returned to calm, and the three executors on the "Red Ark" were just speechless.

"You two, say something." Valut couldn't stand the dreary atmosphere, even though he hadn't fully recovered from his injuries.

"Hmph, any words are pale in the face of such a sight...... Aren't you the same for yourself? Bloblan no longer spoke with the pompous contrivance he had before, but with a certain genuine piety.

"Huh...... Shelazard, be safe. Luciora didn't speak, but quietly prayed for her mature sister.

"Hmph." For the first time, Valut didn't continue to entangle, "Then again, are we the only ones back this time...... Professor, Levi, and Rei......"

Joshua followed them...... Looks like we're not going to go back to association. There was a slight regret in Blobland's voice.

"Hmph, it's good to be alive...... That guy always avoided fighting me, but since he didn't die, there was still a chance to fight. ”

"Hehe, because he always had a clear goal...... This is different from you who are aimless. Luciola smiled and said, "As for me...... I'm also planning to leave the Association for a while. ”

"Hmph, whatever you want." Without further ado, Valut slowly pulled out a cigarette, and then smoke filled the deck.

"Huh...... Looks like this is it. Kempareira remembered with satisfaction the panic of the Red Lotus Hunters when they heard of Wiseman's death, pacing through the long, gloomy corridor—the heart of the entire Red Ark, which no one had access to except the ship's supreme authority. The original qualifier, "Whiteface" Wiseman, is now dead, and the authority is automatically transferred to Kempareira.

Finally, at the end of this corridor, there is a room full of mystery. When Kemparella had completed the ritual of the "Formation", several pillars of light descended into a series of seven columns—only the third pillar, representing the "white face", was in a dim state.

"Between the Stars" - a room used by the executives of the "Society" to communicate with each other. In addition to the "Alliance Master" and "Apostle", the only one who can enter and exit here is this Kemparella, which has a special number.

"Is it finally here?" With the opening of the first column, numbered I, the crowd automatically entered a wonderful mode of conversation.

"Everyone seems to have arrived...... "Kempareira was not surprised by the sudden voice, "then, let me report to you on the process and final result of the "gospel plan" planned and executed by the third pillar "White Face"......

"Whew...... Thankfully, I ran fast. Looking at the collapsed "floating city", the members of the "Elsaiyu", who were still racing against time, just now had the real feeling of waking up from a dream, "But this landscape ...... How can I put it, how powerless it is to make people feel ...... language."

"yes...... But in this way, your mission can be considered a complete one. Lévy spoke, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

"Speaking of which...... What are you going to do? There was reluctance and sadness in Joshua's voice—as a victim of the "white face" who had manipulated his mind and will, Joshua was able to avoid being convicted for his previous assassinations after exchanging a lot of information about the association—but Levi was different. He had committed all sorts of crimes of his own volition, and there were so many aspects involved, that even if the queen was willing to pardon him for the sake of his efforts to solve the mutation, it did not mean that other countries and institutions across the continent would be able to accept the outcome.

"I have no regrets about seeing that you have learned to be really strong now...... In the future, you will go with Istelle. Levi smiled softly and touched Joshua's head, "If I dare to confront the 'professor' in that state, it means that I am no longer afraid of my own death or any other ending...... Captain Yulia. He looked solemnly at Yulia, who was standing in the captain's seat, "I think you will judge me fairly." ”

"About that...... Her Majesty has already given instructions. "Yulia groaned," she said, adding that the Royal Government will no longer give you any more guilty verdicts and dispositions because Richard is ...... The fact that you have made several beneficial contributions to Liber when you were working for the Ministry of Intelligence, the fact that you have controlled the runaway ancient dragon "Regunat" to prevent further damage to Liber, and the fact that you have contributed greatly to this "mutation" - but she also said it. Even if Liber can pardon your sins for the sake of these things, that doesn't mean it will convince the international community not to pursue you. Therefore, Liber will not impose any judgment or arrest on you, but he will not provide you with any shelter. ”

"......" Levy's expression was complicated, with guilt and emotion - when he was in the Ministry of Intelligence, he was nothing more than following Richard's orders, and the so-called credit was obviously Richard deliberately saying that it was his own in order to protect himself. As for Gu Long and "Mutation", in his opinion, it was originally his job.

His Majesty also said...... Personally, she didn't want a victim of a human crime, a young man with a great future, to fall prematurely...... Therefore, she wants you to be like your brother...... Try to start a new life. ”

“…… I accepted this kindness. After thinking about it, Lévy said gratefully, his voice a little choked.

"Levi......" Joshua's voice undoubtedly revealed joy, "with me and Istelle...... Let's get Rei back. ”

"No...... I can't travel the world with you. After all, I have committed too many sins all over the world...... And, actually, I know where Ling is now. ”

"Where?" Estelle immediately asked alertly.

"I can't say. Aren't you trying to show her your love and determination? Levi shook his head, "Then you have to do it on your own." ”

"Hmph, I'm not going to throw in the towel." Estelle wasn't discouraged either—Levi's words were exactly what she wanted.

"Huh...... Looks like you're having a great time. ”

Outside the ship, a voice that everyone was very familiar with, without the help of a horn or any other props, was completely made by internal force—fell into everyone's ears.
