In the sky, the river of burning souls came in response and poured into the flames.

They transmit the last flames and heat to each other, gathering light and power in the flame, and finally, the ashes fall like a blizzard.

The souls burned completely. In return, it was the mighty Divine Flame that was returned!

The flame of the memories, lives, and souls of countless Romulus!

"- Elsa!"

Ye Qingxuan stood up from the ground under the terrible pressure, looked up at this girl who had become such a stranger, and vaguely understood something, but he couldn't believe it.

"Did you hear my voice!"

He roared, "Answer me!"

A drop of rain falls from the sky.

fell on his face.

That's tears.

In the midst of the flames, the hollow pupils finally lit up.

She curled up in pain, enduring the pain of the holy fire burning her body, looking at Ye Qingxuan, her eyes were dazed and painful.

"Don't be afraid, I'll come over at once......"

Ye Qingxuan struggled to advance from the ruins, his feet sinking deep into those gray dust, as if he was trekking in cold snow.

"-Don't come!"

Elsa murmured softly, but the sound was like a roar, and the frenzied pressure burst out, lifting him up and blowing him away. Ye Qingxuan stubbornly picked at the crack of the broken wall, raised his head, and looked up at the girl in the air.

She held her head and struggled in pain.

"I'm ...... She...... No, I'm ...... I'm ......."

She murmured incoherently, but her voice stopped abruptly.

Just stared at the crack in his chest, and the inhuman-like flame in the crack.

"-What am I?"

Ye Qingxuan opened his mouth to speak, but the surging torrent of flames fell from the sky.

The flames engulfed her-

At that moment, everyone saw it.

The brilliant and magnificent sacred fire. Ascended into the sky.

It covered the glow of the heavenly kingdom, and it also covered the land of the abyss, and even in the ...... Draw the power of both sides and swallow up the massive aether torrent!

"Something!"

In the darkness of the tremor, Crowley frowned, and the sound of the piano was terrible. The darkness rose into the sky, transforming into a giant hand, clawing towards the fire.

But then, the giant hand's movements suddenly froze, and it was frozen in mid-air.

For in the midst of the flames, a pocket watch engraved with the coat of arms of the two snakes flew from nowhere, and let out a low and distant whisper:

"Stand still, time. ”

It says:

"—because you are all beautiful compared to any other. ”

It's like a key has been inserted into the cylinder.

That moment. In the sky, on the earth, in the ruins, countless alchemy matrices were awakened, and they drew the power from the holy fire and suddenly activated.

It was as if time had suddenly stood still, just because the flame was so beautiful.

All foreign music theories are forcibly frozen in this sky, and all changes are forcibly frozen. Not even the motes can escape its restraints.

This is the product of the combination of the School of Change and the School of Forbidden, and the peak of "Faust"!

Thereupon. Everything was frozen suddenly.

Only mid-air remained, and the holy flame formed by the convergence of countless family fires was burning vigorously.

In the light of the light, phantoms emerged from the sky, the last traces of the souls and times that had long since passed.

In the call of the holy fire, the rift between the material realm and the etheric realm suddenly fluctuated.

Above the earth, the huge shadows grew thicker and thicker.

And in the midst of the roaring melody. The fissure swelled and swelled...... Immediately afterward, there was a huge earthquake in the heavens and the earth, and a huge city 'fell' from the Aether Realm and passed through the Nine-Layer Aether Sea. Emerge from the material realm!

It is a city that seems to have been dormant for thousands of years, full of ornate carvings and towering minarets, exuding a sharp, ostentatious beauty. Just above the city, there is a terrifying coat of arms engraved with a huge double snake.

The sacred flame slowly descended on the altar in the middle of the city, shining brightly.

In the terrifying silence, the angular city hung high between the sky and the earth, casting a terrifying shadow that covered all of Auschwitz.

The whole world is suffocated!-

"Original...... So...... I see!"

At that moment, in the ruins, Colt finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "Those Romulus people have tried their best to extract the power of heaven and abyss, create a scepter, and turn people into natural disasters...... Become a god! Caligula, that guy is ......."

What is it?

Daring? Or bold?

He didn't have time to think about it.

He was already amazed by what he saw.

From the earth to the sky, everything is covered by the light of the alchemy matrix, and everything is connected into a whole, and those who step into it are the variables in the 'formula', no matter how much they struggle and resist, it is meaningless.

Because the result on the other side of the equation has long been predestined.

Is there anyone else in this world who can complete an alchemy matrix of such a terrifying scale! and hide it under everyone's noses......

What kind of monster did those Romulus people find!

Colt was swallowed up by the chill -

"Yes, I did it. ”

In the Temple of the Sages, Hermes nodded: "It was I who set up the alchemy matrix in Auschwitz, and it was I who moved the sacred flame that they have inherited to this day into Elsa's body, it was I who arranged the matrix that attracted Shadow Aoi, and it was I who found the Yellow King for them...... In the end, I gave them that city. ”

"Why? Hermes. ”

In mid-air, the gentle voice asked, "We both know what that city means to you." That is your source, and if you give your own to them, then you will not be able to continue.

-- This is suicide. ”

"It's simple, Nibelungen. ”

Hermes smoked his pipe, and suddenly laughed softly: "Have you ever thought about being a real person, not a monster, not a god, really being a living person?"

“......”

The Nibelungen was silent.

"To be honest, it was a very difficult decision. ”

Hermes sighed: "The thought that my body will be deformed and fattened is a little unacceptable. But if you can't accept it, you can't help it, after hesitating for so many years, there must always be a result.

Now, I'm finally not a monster, and to be honest, it's a pretty good feeling, and there are simply no other drawbacks other than that I'm going to die. ”

"It was the death of Aeneas that spurred you on. ”

"Part of the reason. ”

Hermes shrugged: "Who told me to owe him a favor back then?"

I didn't care about it at the time, but when I looked back, I realized that the interest on this personal debt was too frighteningly high. I want to pay back, but the hole in the bill is too big to be plugged......

So, if you have to make sacrifices, why not be generous and give to others what you don't want?"

The Nibelungen was silent for a long time before saying, "We don't understand. ”

"You don't need to understand. ”

"Don't you hate killing people the most?"

The Nibelungen asked, "Then why did you sacrifice Caligula's daughter?"

"First of all, Elsa is not Caligula's daughter, she inherits the blood of Aeneas, and she was born with the responsibility to carry on the flame. ”

Hermes said lightly: "If the empire is still there, then she should be the current Emperor of Romulus, the 'Augustus' of all Romulus."

Unfortunately, the empire is no longer there, and the people are displaced, struggling to survive and precarious, and are almost on the verge of extinction...... She must take on that responsibility.

It was the divine fire that only she could inherit, and she would not die, but would gain strength and become the new Holy Spirit. But at the price, all her memories will be burned out as firewood.

It's a cruel thing, I understand, but someone has to die, let alone ......"

He paused, his expression became expectant and complicated, and he whispered, "What's more, I'm also curious." ”

Is there anything in the human heart that cannot be burned?" )
