A few hours before Rasha finishes the trial.

Taxis carried Ulysses out of the Cave of Trials in pain, her steps steady and strong, for she had already found someone who could help Ulysses relieve his pain.

It's a pity that that person is not her, and she doesn't have such an ability when she was born.

The person who can save Ulysses from this pain must be someone who is in tune with him, who knows his past, and who knows where his grief comes from.

Just from the point of the past, Rasha is the best choice. However, after coming into contact with Lasha herself, Taxis found that she was too young.

It's not just age, it's youth on a psychological level. Raxia was still immersed in the love of his childhood sweetheart, and he didn't really realize the pain and sorrow that Ulysses was carrying, and he didn't even know what had happened to him.

It wasn't her fault, because no one told her all this, and Ulysses even preferred to carry everything than let her innocence hurt.

In this world, the only one who really understands everything about Ulysses, who really understands his sorrow, who can save him, is her.

She wasn't much older than Lashya, but what she had experienced, what she had precipitated, and the dreams she embraced in countless worlds were like a fate born for this moment.

She also had the opportunity to become Ulysses's first love, but because of the interlacing of fate, she passed by him and almost never saw him again.

Because of this, in the seemingly never-ending darkness, she repeated the dream of that summer over and over again, painting the paintings of Xiao You, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Ya.

Until one day, Xiao You in the painting really comes to her, defeats the biggest nightmare in her heart, and brings her back from the infinite loop of summer. She was given a new lease of life and opened her eyes from the darkness.

The two who once passed by can finally meet again.

Mira, the descendant of the eight-headed demon dragon and the eldest lady of Mira's village, this is Taxis's last hope.

She is the only one in this world who can bring him back from that pain. Because she herself has felt that kind of pain, desperate and helpless, no matter how she looks, she can't find a direction, and in the end she can only close herself off and wait for an impossible miracle.

That time, it was Ulysses who performed a miracle for her, bringing her back from the world of infinite loops.

This time, it's her to help Ulysses, her favorite little You.

"Are you ready? Taksis gave Ulysses to Mira and gave her all hope.

"Well, even if I sacrifice my life, I will let Xiao You recover. Mira hugged the confused Ulysses tightly and looked at him in pain with pity.

Ah, how sad!

How cold!

This is not the Xiao You she knows, and the Xiao You she likes should not be like this. The crisis, which had been vaguely perceived for a long time, has finally become a reality.

Xiao You is burdened with too much, and is willing to let others help too little and too little, this kind of thing is very strange and wrong. It's not wrong for Xiao You to make everyone around him happy, but he can't make himself happy.

Why does he always wonder that there are too many people who also want him to be happy, but he himself always sacrifices his own happiness to give hope to others.

Therefore, this cycle will collapse sooner or later, Xiao You is too kind, so when he is hurt and betrayed, the pain he suffers will be a hundred times more than that of ordinary people.

That abominable Sword Warrior Lala didn't just hurt his body, but more importantly, his heart!

Once the innocent heart is destroyed, it is like shattered glass, and it can never go back to the past.

So she never saw the heartfelt smile from Xiao You again, a smile full of hope for the future.

His hopes, his dreams, have long been shattered, but he is still barely holding on, trying to make up for everything.

However, even if everything is back, what will he do when he is injured, it is impossible for him to really get back all the things he lost. What's more, in order to get Yulia back, he carried so many things that he forgot even the most basic.

What Yulia wants to see will definitely not be such a small You.

The Xiao You she likes shouldn't be like this. When we met again, she saw the darkness and despair in his eyes, but he never said it to anyone, never expressed it.

Such a little You made her unable to look at it. She knew that Xiao You shouldn't be like this, so she kept trying to find a way to try to make the darkness in his eyes disappear.

It's a pity that it ended up here, the worst ending she expected.

Xiao You in her arms has almost lost all the temperature, not only the temperature of the body, but also the temperature of the heart.

She was aware of the pain of doubt, despair, insecurity, and finally having to close herself off. In that infinite dark void, if it weren't for the hope that the memories of that summer brought her, she would have died long ago.

Now, Xiao You is also in this dangerous state, and if he doesn't do something, he will seal himself in the darkness forever.

She is willing to use everything in her life to save such a Xiaoyou.

"Smack!" six red dragon wings spread out behind Mira, her "crimson wings", a treasure that had awakened from Casa's bloodline.

However, at this moment, the blood-colored dragon wings were changing, slowly changing from bright red blood to pure white, which was the original color of the dream, the color that Ulysses saw in his summer dreams.

The power that Mira wants, the power she wants, has never belonged to the power of the eight-headed demon dragon.

The essence that Taxis perceived from her was never the power of the dragons, it was a more special, more fantastical power. It was precisely because she sensed the hidden power in Mira's body that she chose Mira and believed in Mira.

For the Mira she saw in her eyes was the same as the Mila that Ulysses saw in that dream.

In the flight of countless light feathers, Mira's six dragon wings all faded their blood color and turned sacred white. At the same time, her dragon horns and dragon scales also fell off together, and even a blood-colored ball fell out of her body, which was the origin power of the eight-headed demon dragon Cazar who lived on her body, and Casa, who had fallen asleep after the battle with Ulysses and Raxia, was dormant in it at the moment.

"Sure enough...... Your power is different......" Seeing this expected result, Taxis raised his hand and retrieved the origin of the eight-headed demon dragon Caza.

At this moment, Mira is extremely close to what she looks like in a dream, and her six white wings exude an all-encompassing light.

It is derived from life, but it is by no means the law of the magic dragon that divides and multiplies infinitely.

The light that Mira holds is more gentle, and the light of life that can create dreams is more able.

The warm, dream-like summer was created by this light.

As long as these six wings are there, Mira can return to that summer dream an infinite number of times, which is the most precious gift that Xiao You helped her leave behind.

But now, Mira resolutely stretched out her hands and tore off her wings with all her might.

"Shhh

She is not forbidden like Ulysses, so she can only use this method to save Xiao You. Use the wings that represent your own life, just to get a chance to connect with Xiao You.

In the blood light filled with Mira's breath of life, the world around Mira began to distort.

It began, the "creation" that Mira is good at, and she tore apart the beautiful world that remembered that summer with her own hands and began to create a new world.

Then, in the center of the Dragon Island, a pair of huge wings stretched out, gently encircling Ulysses.

This is the celebration of life, this is Mira's prayer, this is the hand she reaches out to Xiao You, who is in pain and sorrow, at the cost of the wings of her life.

Outside the huge wings, Taxis waited, waiting for an outcome.

............ Ulysses walked lonely on the gray earth, he didn't know where it was, he didn't know where he was, he just walked forward step by step in a daze.

Above his head, countless starlights were happily intertwined and flying. The whole starry sky is changing every moment, celebrating his return from the starry sky.

Ulysses couldn't remember how far he had traveled, and when he first arrived, he vaguely saw Lulu, Yuna, and an angel, but they couldn't keep up with him and quickly disappeared behind him.

The place he came to was too deep, too far, too far, too far away, and there was no going back.

This gray land seems to have no end, no matter how long you walk, there is still that infinitely deep starry sky ahead.

What guided him down was the starlight that kept falling, the eternal existence, containing countless mysterious starlight.

This starry sky road is not limited by the laws of this world and is not affected by this world. It represents meaning far beyond this imperfect world and leads directly to more distant places.

As long as he continues this path, Ulysses will leave this world and complete a complete change.

Ulysses was vaguely aware of this when he chose the path of the Demon King, but he thought it would happen hundreds of years or thousands of years later.

However, when those shattered memories appeared, and the power of countless star fragments also woke up, the process suddenly sped up a thousand times, and he involuntarily came to this path.

When he finishes this path, everything will be in the past.

Some of the memories that had just been regained disappeared little by little when he walked on this starry path. Compared to the memories of the stars for tens of millions of years, the memories that belong to humans are really insignificant.

Those beautiful points of light, sadly, returned to Ulysses' body and sank into the deepest part of the sea of memory.

The farther he went, the more he lost, and when Ulysses slowly approached the end of the path of the stars, almost forgetting everything as he could already see the infinite sea of stars.

Then, in this gray world appeared light, warm light.

Mira, who had lost two pairs of wings, finally arrived in the world and stopped in front of Ulysses.

Behind her is the infinite and deep sea of stars, the starry sky into which all human memories can be swallowed.

"Xiao You, stop. Mira, who had sacrificed her two pairs of wings to get here, stood in front of Ulysses, who had managed to catch up, and despite the bloody wings, she desperately spread her hands and blocked his way.

"You...... It's ......" Ulysses, who had lost too many memories on the path of the stars, looked at Mira who was hugging him in confusion.

On her body, Ulysses smelled a good smell, a soft violet aroma.

It seems that I have smelled such a smell somewhere and somewhere, and it is a reassuring smell.

"Forgotten?" said Mira, looking into Ulysses' eyes in distress.

How much hurt and how much pain has been accumulated to cause such confusion.

hasn't changed, it's still like that, Xiaoyou, whom she loves, is like this, always loves to blame all the mistakes on her own head and bear all the sins.

She knew that this would not work, because no matter how strong Xiaoyou was, one day she would not be able to support it.

Now, in the worst-case scenario, Xiao You's mental side is close to collapse. If he stepped into that starry sky, Xiao You, whom she was familiar with, would never come back.

"Forget...... You...... Sister Mira...... Rasha...... Yulia ...... "Looking at the familiar gentle face in front of her, some of Ulysses' lost memories finally reappeared little by little.

However, it was not exactly a happy memory, there were also sad, desperate memories.

It hurts, it hurts, all the pain that was once forgotten comes out at once, but there is no way to stop.

More, more powerful pains are coming, and the shattered memories that appear, the incomprehensible but empathetic ones, all torment Ulysses.

It was not a simple equation like one plus one, but an infinite superposition of pain, as if the soul was about to be broken.

No, souls have been broken many times, each time they are pieced together in such a fragmented way, and finally they are nothing.

He was the worst wreck, the worst inferior. But even so, he is still struggling, but in the end he still can't get happiness.

Ah, as it is, it is impossible for him to be happy, no matter how much it seems to be within reach.

Is this story that began a long, long time ago finally coming to an end? Will he really go back, back to the starry sky.

He was always making mistakes, repeating the same mistakes over and over again, knowing that it was wrong, but always unable to control himself.

Then, it was time to end, just step into the starry sky like that, and then go back to the original appearance, closer to the essence of himself, the self he abandoned.

One step, but he didn't go over, because there was Mira in front of him, and he crashed into her arms.

"Won't let you go. Mira's wounds were still bleeding, but she ignored them and hugged Ulysses tightly.

"Let go...... Already...... There's no way back......" Ulysses' eyes became incomparably deeper, gray eyes, ambiguous colors between light and darkness.

"No! never!" Mirabi knew that if she let go here, it would be over.

That's the ending that no one wants to see, she, Natsu, Taxis, Lelu, Angela, and everyone who is related to Xiao Yu won't want him to leave like this.

The place he had gone was too far for anyone to go, so she couldn't let go of the hand that held him, and couldn't watch him go on that wrong fate.

She knows that Xiao You, who is so kind, so worried about others, who wants to take care of her sister wholeheartedly, who decided to become a priest for her, and who also chose the dark path for her, is definitely not someone who will leave because of her own wishes.

"But...... I was wrong...... Many, many wrong......" Ulysses looked up, countless fragments of memory wrapped around him.

These things were too heavy for him, painful for him, confusing for him, a weight his soul could not bear. And along with these fragments, it is this path of the starry sky.

"It's okay, it's okay if you're wrong, I forgive you, forgive you for everything. Mila hugged Ulysses, wept, and made an oath to the whole world.

"I forgive you, forgive you all, protect all of you, tolerate all of you. ”

"Whatever you are, whatever you do, I like you. ”

"I don't want anything but you. ”

It was Mira's heartfelt vow, her promise to the whole world.

In front of Mira's oath, the fragments of memory that wrapped around Ulysses flew around, and then returned to the depths of his memory with peace of mind.

"Mira...... Sister ......" Ulysses' eyes slowly regained their brilliance, and all the memories belonging to "Ulysses" returned.

"Welcome, go back. Looking at Ulysses, who had regained consciousness, Mira's eyes filled with tears of joy.

Mira's last wings began to glow and heat, and the warm glow cut off the ancient starry sky, dispelled the gray earth, and finally embraced Ulysses and took him away from the path of the starry sky.

At the end of the road, the black-and-white-winged, dragon-tailed girl breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew the holy spear in her hand, turned and disappeared into the starry sky.

Finally, Mira brings Ulysses back to the real world.

At the cost of this vow, this affection, she eliminated the pain that tormented Ulysses, dispelled the infinite coldness, and brought back the one she loved.

"Sister Mira, thank you. Ulysses, who came to his senses, only felt that he had a nightmare, a chaotic and painful dream.

Now he couldn't bear the unbearable weight of his soul, and the infinite fragments of memory were beyond his acceptance. Someday, though, he will grow to the point where he can fully accept it all.

"Okay, then, as a thank you gift, you can marry us!" Taxis happily announced, and the dragon's wedding began.
