The clouds and stars in the night sky changed with each other, forming a majestic mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, an inconspicuous figure is trying to climb.

"Plop, plop!"

The sound of the heartbeat is so powerful, so magnificent.

"What is justice?"

A god-like voice sounded in the deepest part of his heart, constantly hinting at him.

"Justice, not light, but is the opposite of all wrongness. Justice, not selfishness, is the payment of everything that does not contain any benefit. Justice is not to destroy, but to protect all that is good. This is my righteousness, and I will work for it all my life. ”

"Justice is the guardian of a lifetime!"

Arnold replied firmly.

When the questioning voice died down, he took another heavy step, his figure blurred, and when he appeared in front of the people again, he was already halfway up the mountain.

Wind and fire, time and space, soul and nature.

At this moment, Arnold understood the basis of what the world was made of.

"What is life. ”

Arnold paused, pondered for a moment, and then moved on.

"Life is a creature with a soul. It is any creature that has the consciousness of survival and has the opportunity to grasp its destiny. Life is not a word or two, it is an indefinite element in the growth of a world. Life, it has meaning, it may be short, or it can be immortal, but in the eyes of everyone, it is only once, worthy of any creature to cherish, protect it and exist. ”

"Life is immortal glory!"

Arnold's voice resounded throughout the Valorenian world.

Everyone was moved and brought tears to their eyes.

At this moment, Arnold understood what the world needed to grow.

The next moment, Arnold had appeared on the top of the mountain, and he was only a few steps away from reaching the top.

Suddenly, the entire mountain began to fall apart, and a proud green dragon appeared on the mountain, and under the huge body, Arnold was as small as an ant.

In an instant, the verdant dragon was already staring at Arnold.

"You're here a little later than I thought......"

She turned slowly, her bright dark eyes staring at Arnold, and spoke softly.

Between the two of them, there is a throne -

A giant dragon that spanned the sky and the king on the mountain peak looked at each other.

In everyone's eyes, at this moment, there are such stars and dreams, flames and death, which are the most magnificent scenes written by literati in history-the eternal dragon-the emerald of the sky.

"It's all over, Arnold. You're the key, I've known it a long time ago. Alicia whispered, stretching out her palm, and in the palm of her white hand was a pure and unblemished light, which flowed slowly, like a silent poem, describing the story of the ages.

Among countless myths, it has many names.

The ultimate throne.

Standing quietly at the feet of the Eternal Dragon, Alicia gazed at the bright light and said, "Behold, this is all you depend on, the final throne - and it belongs to me now. ”

She raised her head and admired the magnificent starry sky, her eyes reflected with colorful light, as if she was fascinated by this: "I will witness your world perish in flames, such a magnificent starry sky will eventually dissipate in endless darkness, when the stars are extinguished one by one, the universe will usher in eternal silence." ”

"Don't you think it's beautiful, Arnold?" she chuckled softly, "for truth is always beautiful, remember the stars we saw together on a summer night in the Fortress of Glory, and though it is a pity, they will eventually perish—"

Arnold looked at her silently.

For a moment, he really thought that Alicia was still the cold girl who loved to cause trouble.

"You are the Will to Destroy, Alicia. ”

Arnold looked up silently.

A bright light gradually emerged from behind him—

That's the resonance of time and space.

"What is the world!"

The voice finally asked the last question. It was as if Arnold felt this indifferent voice, and there was a trembling a little.

Arnold knew that he was running out of time, and that he had to move forward to get the final throne, but his path was blocked by the king of the world, the eternal dragon, the Emerald of the Sky.

But at this moment in his heart, there was not the slightest excitement.

The silver threads of the law stretched behind him, stretched beneath his feet, the forces of space and time cut off from everything, forming a vast network, the entire summit of the mountain vanished, there were no more broken peaks, no more light, no more darkness, and only a void was left between him and the Eternal Dragon, countless silver threads intertwined with each other, as if they constituted the whole of this world.

It is the flowing time, the space that is superimposed on each other.

It is the universe itself.

His target is not Alicia, Alicia is the will to destroy, she is everywhere, she may be on top of the mountain right now, but she can't touch the final throne.

He sighed.

Alicia looked back at him, "Why sigh, is it a pity for all this?"

Arnold shook his head.

"What I sigh about is just those times that are gone forever, it lingers in my heart, and always reminds me not to forget the beauty of the past. ”

"But what is gone is gone. ”

Arnold slowly raised his head, looked into Alicia's eyes, and said quietly:

"I just wanted to tell you something, Alicia. ”

"You're wrong—"

He held out his hand.

In the darkness, two extended golden threads appeared in his hand, and the threads outlined each other in the shape of a holy sword, and the distinct blades shone with the light of resistance.

The holy sword Roland, little by little, was reflected on the surface of the water.

"The world is everything, the mother of all things, the beginning of everything. The world is home, the home where all living beings live, grow, die, and live for one. The world is created, and with it, you have everything you want. The world is all things, and the world is the source. The world is the soul of the soul, and the world is the end of all love and the meaning of all existence. ”

"The world is destiny. ”

As the words fell, Arnold felt the whole world tremble, and there was no longer a barrier between him and the world, regardless of each other.

Stronger than the law is the law of the world. The whole Valoren's world, at this moment, in front of Arnold, there is nothing to hide.

Each of the laws that represent the strings of time and space locks everything that exists in this world, and everything that flows and is uncertain becomes clear here. There is no other hypocrisy in the world, only the purest laws, countless laws, like the stars hanging in the sky.

And every bit of light is closely connected with the law and the world itself.

The axis of time, which locks the verdant dragon that exists at any moment, its so-called eternity, is condensed into a point in this world limited only by the law, and is no longer arbitrarily free.

The silver plane continued to shrink, and finally the two points of light overlapped each other.

The almost infinite existence of the verdant dragon became one in this moment. Perhaps in all the worlds, in all history, at this moment, this verdant dragon is the closest to the 'finite' state.

In a silent space, a man and a dragon confront each other in the world formed by this overlapping point.

The existence of the Verdant Dragon is locked in the next moment, and even in the next moment, even in a microsecond, it will regain its immortality. So, by what means should he use to completely erase its existence within the most basic unit of time?

"That's faster than time. ”

Arnold raised the holy sword Roland in the air.

Alexander-Arnold already understood who was asking him the question, and that was 'Valoren'. It was Valoren's Origin Will that tested him.

This is where the Valorenian world originated.

The Eternal Dragon, originally the Origin Guardian of the 'Valoren's World'.

"I will slay what is in sight. Arnold shouted loudly, as if shouting the most powerful voice of the century!

Sword of Oath - The sword of destiny that must be completed.

Brilliant golden light, the boundaries of time and space,

The verdant dragon in the void was like a mountain range, and Arnold was a speck of dust in front of it.

He resolutely swung the pinnacle sword of his life, and this sword contained everything he had comprehended after answering the three questions.

In the deep space, there was a long wail.

But when time began to flow again, a myth about immortality and eternity came to an end. It was like the end of a cycle, and energy and matter were endlessly radiating in all directions, bursting into the void.

In an endless white light, the beacon of the dark world, the endless mountain peaks, collapsed.

Arnold appeared on top of the mountain, a mountain peak that had disappeared, suspended above the clouds.

Before him was the throne that was cleared.

......

"Hahahaha, even if you come here, it's too late. ”

Alicia looked at Arnold with a grin, and suddenly took out a holy sword from her back, which was the one that was captured by the black dragon Augustine.

Alicia looked at the expressionless Arnold and sat on the throne with a smile. She retracted her smile, her golden pupils dilated in vain, and terrifying divine power swept out, and she looked up at Arnold with her head tilted up, as if a god was ignoring a small ant.

Arnold looked at her calmly, and slowly raised the holy sword in his hand, Roland.

"Valoren's fate should be in the hands of mortals. Free will, supreme, will surely destroy all enemies. ”

Arnold's sonorous and powerful words fell, and in the void of the Valoren's world, blue, red, white, purple, and orange meteors appeared.

Every rainbow is a supreme holy sword.

"This?" The Storm Sword in Alicia's hand suddenly emitted a blue light, breaking free from her grip and flying into the air.

Bright stars rose in the night sky.

In every land above the Valorenian world, people watched in amazement.

Six holy swords began to shine above the night sky.

The Flame Sword, that is the flame that represents resistance.

The Ice Sword, the brilliance of wisdom.

The Holy Sword of Light, selfless justice.

Nature's holy sword, nature's life.

Storm Sword, unrestrained freedom.

The Holy Sword of the Earth, the silent guardian.

The six rays of light died down one by one. But the six rising stars have merged with each other and turned into a new constellation under the gaze of the people.

Many years later, people can still remember this night, the constellation that shimmered in the night sky.

It was a brilliant sword--

It has a name.

It's called fate.

......

Arnold held the sword in his hand, standing on the throne, shining above the blade, water and fire, wind and earth, life and light, six holy swords, one by one, vanished behind him, and they became one with each other, turning into such a flawless blade that radiated golden light.

It shines like a golden crystal.

And in the crystal, the fate of this world is in place.

Alicia was stunned, she clearly sensed an ominous threat from the sword, and asked in a low voice, "What ...... is that?"

But Arnold just glanced at Alicia quietly.

"This is the Sword of the God of War. He replied softly, his soft voice describing all the legends of the sword.

"God of War?"

Alicia frowned in confusion.

But Arnold raised the sword in his hand, and the transparent sword seemed to contain some kind of invisible power. His focused eyes stood opposite Alicia across the throne, but between the two, there seemed to be an insurmountable gap.

"Look, the trajectory in this sword is like the fate of mortals-"

Because this sword was originally used to hold the container of time and history. ”

"When fate is placed in it, everything is frozen here. ”

Arnold stood up and replied to her seriously: "There is no god of war in the world of Valoren, and the god of war is not a god, but the fate of mortals. The sword of the god of war is not a real sword, but a responsibility. ”

Alicia finally felt something was wrong.

She took a step back and asked, "What's the difference?"

Arnold laughed: "The purpose of the Sword of the God of War is not to be in charge of everything. And there is a kind of power, which is not the supreme king, but the power in the hands of every mortal, that is, the shackles. The meaning of the shackles lies in the fact that they can be broken by people. ”

It was that sonorous and powerful answer, which resounded above the clouds at this moment.

"The God of War, therefore, is invincible, and the sword of the God of War is invincible. ”

"Don't you understand, Alicia," Arnold's voice seemed to carry a faint pride in it, "from the moment you entered the world of Valoren, you were defeated. The Great Mother Goddess has given everything for this, and has given her last strength for us, for the mortal world. ”

He whispered, "Mother Goddess, I wear a crown and bear its weight - sword in my hand, and vow to cut off all these chains, and the cycle of history will come to an end at this moment, and all that I promised you to do is now here." ”

On the plateau, the starry sky seems to have changed.

Above the stars, on the pinnacle of the mountains, a king stood tall and slowly took a crown from the clouds.

The armor painted by the kindness of mortals slowly draped over the king.

Above the starry sky, like a river of starlight across the sky, it was the king of the Valorenian world, the mortal god of war, who was fulfilling his promise.

Arnold's voice finally revealed a hint of relief.

"Alicia. He looked up and smiled, "Are you ready?"

"No!" Alicia screamed, she finally realized what Arnold was going to do, and shouted in panic, "No, you can't kill me, you have to understand that my body is not here, you can only kill one of my consciousnesses at most!"

But Arnold shook his head: "No, I didn't kill you. When your will is destroyed in the Valorenne world, it will be completely integrated into the Valorenian world, and you will truly become a part of the Valorenne world. Then you will never be able to destroy her again, for she is you. ”

"You-" Alicia finally panicked, "You've been waiting for me to get the Storm Sword, you already knew the result, didn't you?"

Arnold nodded silently. "When you touch the Holy Sword, you become a part of the Valorenian world. The six holy swords are all part of Valoren's origin. ”

"No!" Alicia screamed, "You have also touched the Holy Sword, and you have also been assimilated into a part of the Valorenian world, and if you kill me, you are killing yourself." ”

But Arnold just looked at her unmoved.

Arnold shook his head.

"No!" Alicia felt like she was going crazy, and she screamed, "I've tied my life to Lydia, will you kill her?"

There was a softness in Arnold's eyes, but there was a glint in his tears.

"I'm sorry, Lydia. ”

He didn't expect Afra to be part of the Will to Destroy.

He replied softly, "I don't want a part of you, but all of you." ”

With gentle words-

The mortal god of war raised the holy sword in his hand with great determination, and he stepped forward and slashed towards the throne in the center with a single sword. That sword will be the most brilliant sword light in the world, because what it has broken free from is not only the fate of this world.

In the void.

There seemed to be the sound of everything shattering.

......

Lydia stared up at the sky in a daze.

In those clouds, a god of war is carrying the wings of light, shining as bright.

He gently placed the crown on top of his head, and slowly sat down on the throne, and he looked at the land so majestically that his knights seemed to be expanding for him on such a vast land.

And his eyes had already been fixed on a more distant place, in the distant sky, between the clouds like a holy sound, singing softly, a gentle voice was speaking to him.

I have given you the title of 'Eternal God of War,' and I will be proud of you."

My baby.

The burning clouds faded away layer by layer.

The silver world flickered and collapsed over the Valoren.

The evening breeze gently blows on the plateau, and the sunset is fading the last glimmer of light. William suddenly raised his hand, and bright red blood was slowly flowing from a striking mouth on his wrist.

The time of mortals has come.

The golden eyes in the sky were slowly closing, and a world wailed throughout the earth, and the will to destroy had fallen, just as it had come, and the war of five epochs had come to an end in one moment.

A seventh star appeared in the sky, and it was Roland's Holy Sword, and it was the seventh Holy Sword.

It has another name –

The Dark Sword represents pure faith.

......

The world seems to be in darkness again.

In the midst of the endless darkness, Alicia seemed to hear a gentle voice coming.

"This is the last hope, I hope you cherish it-"

......

"Miss Deborah!"

"Where's the lord, and where did you go?"

In the darkness, Lydia suddenly woke up. Soft sunlight is gently pouring into the room through the window. The thin curtains can't hide the brightness of summer, and on the desk, there is a warm lily.

Lydia suddenly realized that she had a nightmare, and she sat down on the bed and gently placed her hand on her chest. Everything from the past flowed gently in her heart, and she looked up and looked at the seven stars shining in the sky with some peace.

Deborah and Bartley's voices could be heard from far away in the courtyard outside, and Gladys' scolding could be heard.

Outside the window, the sky is blue, and it is like a wash.

As the carriage drove slowly into the forest, Meredith held the letterhead in his hand and watched silently in a certain direction until he saw the blossoming fruit trees in the forest.

She lowered her head, looked at the letterhead in her hand, and a look of relief flashed in her bright eyes, and then turned away briskly.

......

The high arched windows, the bright colors, and the courtyard outside the window are still the same scenery as ever. It seems that in the past few years, this somewhat quiet study has not changed much since the year of his father's death.

Arnold stood quietly in front of the window, looking at his silent mother.

After that incident, Arnold took his mother with the permission of the new king of Adelaide, and returned to his father's domain.

And in the name of a hereditary earl, he proposed to Archduke Ernest, and on the first day of early summer, won the princess Ernest.

Sylvia looked silently at the long-backed chair under the curtains, the red velvet cushions on the chair reflecting the golden afternoon sun.

Her Royal Highness the eldest princess blinked slowly, she put away her thoughts, closed the door gently, and then turned around and walked out.

But a voice stopped her from behind her.

"Sister. ”

Emmanuelle wore a crown on her head, and looked behind her sister's somewhat slender and lonely back, who had grown up and had the responsibility and responsibility of being a king in the past few years. But there are some things that he can't let go of in his heart.

"Call me the eldest princess. ”

"Sister," Emmanuelle couldn't help but whisper, "take me to say hello to the teacher." ”

Sylvia turned her head and looked at her brother with a wandering gaze.

From that day on, Emmanuelle was taught by Arnold, for which Emmanuel was happy for a month.

Her Royal Highness the Princess had a faint smile on her face: "Why don't you go yourself?"

"Sister, you're a bridesmaid, is it appropriate for me to go?"

Emmanuelle looked at her sister with tears and laughter.

......

Arnold travels to the place he first set foot in—the Crucible Forest.

Speaking of which, the treasure of the Crucible Forest has finally opened, and it is indeed the treasure of the dwarves of the hills and mountains thousands of years ago, which also caused everyone to enter the Forges Forest, but there are no people here.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Arnold.

"You are?"

Arnold was surprised.

What appeared in front of him was the Holy Deer of Life that had indirectly saved his life.

"I'm back, Arnold. ”

A familiar voice rang out, and Arnold froze on the spot.

But at some point, there were tears in those eyes.

The figure threw himself into his arms.

He looked up, and his eyes flashed with the most grateful light:

"Thank you, Valoren—"

"The best hope in life is to be able to meet, know and love each other. ”

......
