However, it failed, and when Ulysses could even vaguely feel the breath of Yuria's return, the whole ritual came to an abrupt end, and a part of the perfect circle of life was broken in the middle.

The doll's skin, which was Yuria's carrier, began to turn cold, then shattered and turned into shards of countless gems.

Ulysses looked at the shattered puppet body in confusion and coughed violently.

"Why?" Ulysses looked at the shattered Yuria's body, everything should be flawless, there should be no mistakes. It's just one step, it's just a little bit, and it only takes him to die to bring Yulia back into this world.

Around, the twelve star envoys who had been summoned by him this time sighed together, looking at the one who left with soft eyes.

"No, no! never!" The girl, who looked exactly like Yulia, stretched out her hands in front of Ulysses, crying sadly.

It was she who desperately broke the resurrected masquerade dance at the last moment, forcibly interrupted the ceremony, and made Ulysses's resurrection ** fall short.

"It shouldn't be like this, Xiaoya's words, even if you die, I won't want you to do this!" Anne tried very hard to tell Ulysses what she wanted, because she knew that as long as she liked and really liked someone, then even if she died, she would never want to see this person do such a thing.

It is precisely because he is the person he likes that he wants the other party to be happy, and this method of resurrecting the other person at the cost of his own life is absolutely wrong.

"Ahem...... Get out of the way...... Anne ...... "Ulysses stood up very reluctantly, the abyss conviction did penetrate his heart, but he was no longer human, but he was simply pierced through the heart and would not die immediately."

I don't know why, no matter how he ordered it, the Abyss Judgment didn't release his true power this time, unlike the Dragon Emperor Destruction Sword that Rasha blasted away his vitality at that time, so he wasn't dead yet.

However, what's the point of this, shouldn't this life be returned to Yulia, it is precisely because of his negligence and his powerlessness that Yulia lost her life, and in the end, he even ended Yulia's life with his own hands, so isn't it a matter of course to switch back to Yulia with his own one?

It's not over yet, the gemstone fragments of perfect quality are still there, the essence that makes up the Yulia carrier is still there, and if you do it again, this time it will definitely succeed. With just the principle of equivalent exchange, he will definitely be able to bring Yulia back into this world.

"No, absolutely not, we, we are not willing to help you for this reason, wake up, this is not how the resurrection method is used!" Anne cried and looked at Ulysses, who seemed to have lost his mind, the reason why he gave the power of the masquerade to Ulysses, the star envoys were not expecting this kind of tragedy!

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Ulysses also knew that he had misused the power of the masquerade this time, but he couldn't suppress his longing for Yuria, which finally got out of control after Brushi got it, and made him finally make this choice.

"What we want, what we want to see, is not a resurrection at the cost of life, brother, no one wants you to die!" Anne shook her head desperately, at first everyone didn't notice it, but seeing the scene of Ulysses hurting herself, everyone understood that this masquerade would be distorted.

Yes, the power of the masquerade was used to perform the resurrection method, but not the kind that Ulysses had just used.

The man who commissioned Carré to form a masquerade and eventually resurrect Liliki did not use Ulysses' method. Even they didn't know what method Ulysses had used to forcibly activate the masquerade and carry out the resurrection ritual in advance.

The conditions for the masquerade to be held are extremely harsh, even with the assistance of Caret and the Wind Fish of Dark December, it needs to be held in the special location of the Radiant Academy, and the masquerade held by Ulysses this time is a violation of the procedure at all.

It shouldn't be like this, exchanging her life for a resurrection may be in line with a certain principle, but it is definitely not the ending she wants to see.

She worked so hard to help, and waited with anticrisy for the new masquerade to be held, but what she saw was the last thing she wanted to see.

"Really, was I wrong?" Ulysses was puzzled by the way Anne wept, and then reached out and wiped the face of the lovely girl who was exactly the same as Yulia.

"I'm sorry for making you sad. ”

Seeing that the weakest sister was crying silently, the other star envoys who had been forcibly summoned by Ulysses began to unanimously condemn Ulysses for the chaos.

"It's not like saying sorry, you're really wrong. ”

"Cherish your life more, if you die, no one can resurrect you, not everyone can use the power of masquerade. ”

"There should be no one but you who can use our power to resurrect anyone else. ”

"Make a promise with me that you will never use the power of a masquerade like this again!" Anne hugged Ulysses, who was already crumbling, and tears continued to fall like pearls of broken threads, wetting Ulysses' chest.

It was a very warm, very sad tear, and it made Ulysses aware of the tears that he had done to hurt many people.

"I'm sorry. ”

"Stupid!" Anne mustered up the courage to kiss Ulysses on the lips, and poured a trace of life into his mouth that had been stored for resurrection. In this way, the time for her to regain her body will be greatly delayed.

"No way, I really didn't expect this kid to mess around so much, let's help too. The first star made Anastasia shake her head, hesitated for a moment, and used the same method to transfer the breath of life in her body to Ulysses.

"May you be truly happy. The face kissed Ulysses lightly on the lips, sending a cool breath into his mouth.

The twelve star envoys finally made the same choice as Anne and gave Ulysses the precious breath of life they had preserved.

Thanks to the efforts of the Star Emissaries, the sword marks on Ulysses' chest slowly disappeared, and his heart began to beat slowly.

"Go back, what a trouble-loving little fellow. The blonde girl who bears Carly's name shakes her parasol and leads her sisters away, this time unexpectedly, making her realize that Ulysses may be hiding more secrets.

They don't know where the method of exchanging their own lives for resurrection qualifications came from.

............ Ulysses fell asleep, and in his dreams he vaguely saw another version of himself. It was the ideal self he saw on his future path in the white priest's robe, and it was also the one who made him understand the simplest method of resurrection at that moment.

As Anne said, the masquerade is not used that way, in addition to the perfect "Alice" as a carrier for Yuria, it also needs the assistance of the Wind Fish to find the pieces of Yuria, and the location of the event also has special requirements.

What's more, the method of soul summoning was for him to perform, but what he used just now was not the method of soul summoning at all, but some kind of forbidden technique based on the principle of alchemy equivalent exchange.

It was another way to resurrect herself as an "equivalent exchange" and force Yulia to come back, refining herself as a gem into a "Life Stone", and then using the power of this Life Stone to exchange it with the Sea of Souls.

If it weren't for Anne ruining the ritual at the last moment, it might have been a successful exchange. He dies, Yulia returns, and nothing else.

"Why don't you just choose death, if you die, everything can start again, and there is no need to worry about it, that is the right way. "Give the ancient "Stone of Life" refining method to Ulysses, so that he can see the white-clothed priest who has a shortcut to resurrect Yulia shaking his head.

It was supposed to be a chance to leave, and if it continued, it would only get more scars.

"Because, there are still people who want me to continue to live, who hope that I can be happy. Ulysses still had the warmth of Anne's tears on his chest, and the blessings of the emissaries on his lips.

So, sure enough, you still can't die, you can't just let go of everything so simply, and selfishly bring Yulia back.

"So, do you have to keep making new mistakes? It's going to be troublesome, because you can't be happy. ”

"Ah, yes, neither you nor I can give people happiness. But even so, I want to continue. Ulysses nodded, and in the castle he finally understood the matter.

Whether it is the self who adheres to the ideal and embarks on the path of the priest, or the self who chooses the path of the demon king, there is no way to give people happiness.

Because, no matter which one he is, he has given up many, many beautiful things from the beginning, and no longer expects that he can be happy.

How can people who can't even achieve happiness themselves, who have lost even their sincere smiles, make others happy.

"Well, go ahead, it's also an option, if you think that's good. The white-clad priest smiled and slowly disappeared before Ulysses' eyes.

"Thank you. Ulysses did not resent the thought of nearly killing himself, because everything was his own choice.

If it fails this time, then let's take another approach.

If you're doing it wrong this time, use a better approach.

It's not right to exchange your life for Yuria's return, so go ahead and try the original way.

No matter what, no matter what the price is, the thought of bringing Yulia back has not disappeared from his heart for a moment.
