The earth began to shake.

The high-rise buildings, supported by high-tech skeletons, also began to crumble crisply. It collapsed as fragile as a smashed cake.

It's not heat, it's not a shock wave.

Rather, it disintegrates out of thin air, shattering for unknown reasons.

It was one of the heads gathered by the monkey-faced eagle, and it was dreaming of "the collapse and destruction of the city".

By burning the souls and lives of others, that person's dreams become real in this way, here, and in this form.

When Russell fell into free fall in the air, Ringo still did not give up hope of life.

Her psionic energy filled her body again, and the activated suit multiplied her strength and agility.

She grabbed Russell and put it on her right shoulder as if she were carrying flour. On the other hand, a pink traction beam sticks out from his left arm, constantly hanging in the void, dodging all kinds of flying obstacles in the broken and collapsed floor.

She unloaded her traction and ran quickly over the large wall that had not yet broken completely.

Gravity is still meaningless at this point. She had even spun a full 360 degrees when she ran.

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

And at this very moment.

At the moment when the Sky Island is truly attacked.

It's like you've been waiting for a long time......

“…… And you did. ”

The solemn voice of Chairman Saar immediately came from the air.

The next moment, invisible fluctuations swept away from the distance.

An earthy glow came to pass, and the collapsed buildings stopped crumbling in an instant.

It's not that the disintegration has been prevented...... Rather, they suddenly change the structure of matter and become stone.

Yes, all the surrounding buildings are petrified.

The building that is collapsing is frozen in this posture, as if it were postmodern art with a sense of disillusionment.

"It's all right...... Probably. ”

A middle-aged elf with short dark and brown hair suddenly appeared next to Russell and Ringo.

Outwardly, he barely goes along with the word "elf".

The man's body was as strong as a brown bear, and his slightly narrowed eyes were thin and small. The skin reveals a light brown color like that of a farmer exposed to the sun.

Looking at Lin Ye's frightened and nervous expression, he calmly introduced himself: "I'm Yachucas, a director. My destiny is 'stone'...... Wouldn't that be easier to understand? ”

“…… Are you the one who petrified this area? ”

Russell realized something.

Elf Directors...... Aware of all this?

But they couldn't do it until the monkey-faced eagle actually attacked him.

Or rather, when he launched an attack on the Sky Island itself, the elven directors were finally unrestrained.

"In that regard, you've helped us too."

Achukas was very humble on his lips, but there was no expression on his face, as lifeless as a stone statue, and Tong Kong was not even focused.

The next moment, the sound of sirens spread throughout the entire empty island.

Heavy loaders and drones flew from all over the island.

A torrent of missiles, armor-piercing shells, and lasers, accompanied by a roar and a roaring explosion, instantly drowned the bloody wheel of the skull.

But the first round of attacks didn't have much impact.

It was almost unscathed...... Except that the speed of rotation has become significantly slower.

In response, the dim yellow tentacles of light were stretched to an extremely long length in an instant, piercing through the drones and drones that dared to approach it like steel needles.

And at this time, Russell finally saw where Sal was.

He was flying in the air.

Crimson, circuit-like lines appeared on him, embodimenting the void beneath him, spreading as far as a kilometer.

Russell could barely see what it was.

- It is made up of ten rings, the diagram of the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

From top to bottom, the symbols of the crown, wisdom, understanding, compassion, strictness, beauty, victory, brilliance, foundation, kingdom are written.

And Thrall himself is in that ring of "brilliance".

When Russell looked at the abstract symbols that would be reminiscent of astrology, he understood it all without any hindrance.

He felt that the ring at the top, which symbolized the "crown", was calling to him...... In other words, it is calling for the self "in the container".

Russell suppressed the urge in his heart, grabbed Lin Ye's shoulders tightly, hung with her on the sloping ceiling, and watched everything that happened in the sky.

And the next moment, the monstrous fire emerged and poured down from the void like a boiling soup.

I don't know whose dream it is.

But then a blizzard roared and turned the weather into winter.

"That's Black Groth."

The man who was as cold as a stone statue explained to Russell intimately: "Her fate is 'blizzard'. ”

“…… May I ask what the fate of you name-raiding elves really means? ”

"Chains. Manacles. Bondage. Function. Mission. ”

The stone-like Achucas glanced at Russell and replied calmly: "It's the same table, why are there dinner tables, some desks, and some tea tables?"

"It's the same wood, some people have become fasteners, some people have become tables, some people have become benches, and some people have become floors. When they were a tree, they didn't know anything. They don't know their fate until they get it......"

The next moment, Sal's sigh could be heard in the distance.

"Wake up."

As he spoke, the wheel slowed down again, and finally stopped completely.

At that moment, Russell finally remembered why he looked at the wheel so familiarly......

The spinning wheels are like the "eyes" when you fall asleep!

Shortly after Sal's voice fell, the wheels finally disintegrated.

One by one, the heads slowly broke away from the stationary wheels and fell like a sand tower.

The heads rained down like meteorites, screaming in terror.

"Let me go!"

Finally, Russell realized what he could do.

He patted Lin Ye vigorously and called out loudly.

"Let's stop them - a falling object of this height will kill a lot of people!"

The heads had been hovering thousands of meters in the air.

At this height, a falling head can easily take someone's life – even a splinter of bone can be fatal.

Russell was annoyed.

These directors couldn't survive before...... Even if the monkey-faced eagle has not had time to gather all its strength, more than 100,000 people have already been "pulled out".

In addition to the ones gathered on the wheels, there are also some heads flying in the air.

When the monkey-faced eagle is temporarily removed and its connection to these individuals is removed, the heads fall from a great height.

Walls will be cracked and windows will be shattered. If it falls on a person, it will directly crush the person to death.

This will cause a huge secondary disaster!

There is no doubt that this will be one of the deadliest and most wounded events since the Shari'ah War!

Don't these elf directors care?

"Where's Mr. Sal?!"

"His mission is almost over."

Achucas stopped Russell, looked at Sal from afar, and replied softly, "Don't worry about these heads. ”

“…… What? ”

Russell was slightly stunned.

He suddenly saw Director Thrall begin to burn and disintegrate.

The old man turned around and nodded slightly at Russell.

His whole body was bathed in the sacred white flames, and he slowly closed his eyes as if he had finally let go of something.

The heads suspended in the air also ignited white flames at the same time.

They vanished into the void.

Those who had lost their heads before that had regained their heads.

Those who died or were seriously injured in a fall also suddenly returned to health.

They touched their lost head, and all their previous memories became cloudy. It's like a dream.

Watching the dead come back to life, Russell's eyes widened.

“…… Chairman Saar: This is ...... Regenerate psionic powers? ”

"Yes, all who he slew will be born again."

Achucas stretched out his hand and touched his chest respectfully.

At the same time, he replied: "Thrall will definitely do his best to resurrect the most people......

"Because that's what he lives for.

"SAIR is here for this moment.

"The fate of a saint must be 'to perform a miracle of a saint.'" And when Thar received this fate, he made the promise of a 'holy resurrection'. This is the fate of Sal as a 'saint', a secret word written at the bottom of his soul. This is the strength he has accumulated for more than a thousand years...... He also considered whether or not to resurrect the dead at the end of the Shari'a War. But because the earth was cursed and could no longer accommodate so many people, he kept that power until now.

"Until a while ago, he told us...... He had sensed the next 'saint'. He could finally let go of everything.

"I don't think there is a resurrection that will be more valuable than this one.

"He could have easily fulfilled his destiny and survived forever. But he waited until now, until his body was old and decayed. It is to bring out the power of miracles to the maximum...... even chose to burn himself out.

"It also makes sense. Because he is the 'chosen saint,' just like you. ”

Russell silently looked at the elf director beside him.

He suddenly remembered what he had said when he met Sal.

"—When you came into the world, I crossed the currents and the mountains, and saw you in a hallucination. I knew then that one day, you would come here.

"—O man who was born to know."

He finally understood what the "fate" that the elves carried meant by it.

It also seems to be somewhat understood...... Why Kalmathur claims to be "the forerunner, caretaker and guardian of humanity".

The supreme power of the name raiders may come from this mission.

Consume the power you have accumulated over a long period of time to complete your destiny and pass it on from generation to generation.

It's just that some elves remember their fate.

And some of the name raiders have been corrupted over time.

They want to get this mission lake over and get a free and permanent life.

…… I see.

Russell's sense of separation from the elven directors, who "seemed to want something and didn't want anything," was finally answered.

The elves may have died by the time they got their destiny.

They are as innocent as children, as young as youth, as calm as old age, as patient as fools, and as joyful as wise......

They are like living people.

It's like he's still alive.

They simply postponed their own death, waiting for the most opportune moment when fate finally came.

…… It's like a demon imprisoned in a reinvention agency.

"As a ritual, I'm going to ask for your opinion."

Director Achucas turned his head to look at Russell, who was extremely small compared to him.

The stone-like middle-aged elf was silent for a few moments before reaching out to Russell with its thick, calloused palm, as strong as a worker and a farmer.

"You, who were designated as a 'saint' by Saar, witnessed this heroic sacrifice that burned everything.

"Will you be able to accept this fate, which is destined to be sacrificed, and take over this mission that will be passed down from generation to generation......

"AND WHAT ABOUT THE 'SAIR' WHO BECAME THIS GENERATION?"

That should have been an answer without any hesitation.

That should be an urgent and passionate "I do".

But Russell fell silent.

Since the power of a "saint" is to cause miracles, not necessarily to "resurrect others......

Russell closed his eyes.

He remembered what Alice had said before she died.

"Don't let anyone control your destiny......"

I'll do it, Mom.

Whether it's dusk or a container. Heroes or saints......

Whether it's fate or not, I want to be what I want to be.

Sorry, Mom.

For the last time......

I will definitely do it in the future.

"I have no intention of rejecting this sacred mission......"

When he opened his eyes again, he finally spoke slowly and said with great seriousness, "It's just that I want to answer this question later."

"I want to save the name of my covenant, my miracle, for the future."

If you still can't defeat the monkey-faced eagle in the end.

If you can't solve the problem of lack of resources by yourself.

If......

However, there are too many questions to answer and too many difficulties to solve.

It's a one-in-one miracle, and I don't know how to use it.

Well, let's save it for later.

He did not lack the determination and courage to dedicate himself.

It was not a future bound by the fate of the "saint", but he wanted to do it himself.

Even if you are destined for "twilight......

- But if human beings are lucky enough to endure the twilight, can't they have the "dawn" beyond that fate?
