For the first time, Howard's face showed surprise.

And in the next second, his eyes returned to depth and silence again, as if he didn't care about his situation at the moment.

"Jack, is this the trait of the mythical creatures you learned to imitate using the abilities I taught you...... What a powerful and difficult force."

He said without looking back, bowing his head slightly, looking at his gradually crystallized body, and couldn't help but sigh again.

"Most of the power of this level doesn't belong to the Sage Demigod anymore...... This is the characteristic of the angel from the god level, although it is not as good as the original, but it has completely reached the level of crushing at the same level, and even the current me does not have a good way to deal with it."

Half of Howard's face, which was already covered with white crystals, struggled to control his muscles, grinned a seemingly hideous smile, and said in a deep voice:

"But just like that, it's not enough to write the creator's ending in reverse!"

He jerked out his left arm, which had not yet fully crystallized, and the surface was instantly covered with blue and black barnacles, and he immediately grabbed the white-scaled dragon head that grew from his back.

"As long as we can complete the final vacancy of the ceremony and promote [Anonymous], then all of this will be completely over!"

Poof—

The white-scaled dragon tried to struggle, but it couldn't resist the power of the big hand at all, and the entire head was torn off by Howard's back, and the blood from the broken wound turned into white crystal dust and scattered in the process of splashing, dazzling.

Howard frantically dragged the dragon's head and threw it flying.

Boom –

The huge head, dragging its glittering tail of crystal dust, flew towards the depths of the starry sky like a comet.

And Howard has taken the opportunity to exchange the pen to his left hand, and is fanatically and persistently writing crazy on the script!

"We're only one last step away......

The silver-white and blue tip of the pen rustles across the paper, and the slightly skewed and twisted handwriting is no longer gorgeous, but it can still clearly express the meaning.

The crystallization of his body was still spreading, but soon some healthy parts grew sprouts, wriggling and twitching like an army about to die, swearing to resist the erosion of white crystals.

On the other side, Chen Lun, who woke up from a brief nightmare, immediately regained his original human form. His body was still flying upside down in the starry sky, but he was powerless to stop.

Through the lower half of the body that was devoured by Howard, the crystalline cells contained in it were activated, and the mythical power of the other party was able to erode in turn, spread and grow from his body, and regained his body.

But now he's at his limit.

The injuries he endured were too severe, and the crystal cells were no longer able to repair, and all parts of his body were already in a state of overload, making it difficult to move even slightly.

Suddenly—

A strong sense of fatalism struck suddenly, as if some kind of predetermined mission had fallen from the sky and urgently needed him to fulfill it...... Chen Lun suddenly realized that the ending that Howard wrote for himself was probably about to be completed!

Ignore the terrifying warnings of danger.

His eyes became more decisive than ever.

Raising his hand with difficulty, between his trembling fingers, an ethereal pitch-black card quietly emerged, its background was dark and cloudy, as if it could attract all light, and the pattern in the central part was a "∞" twisted by pale silk threads.

Chen Lun's eyes reflected the wriggling, dazzling white light of the infinite symbol, and he said hoarsely:

"Those who change my destiny will eventually meet the death of their destiny......

His gaze was slightly deflected, as if he had penetrated the distance of the starry sky, and he saw the blonde man in the distance.

When the infinity symbol overlapped with the figure, the man seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly looked up and looked at Chen Lun from afar.

Chen Lun roared out unwillingly from his throat almost from his throat:

"it!!"

Flick your fingers.

Phew-

The card flashed through the black light and disappeared.

The next moment.

Kilometers away, Howard's eyelids jumped, and he was about to step out in a fit of rage, to dodge it somehow, but half of his face pulled out a bitter smile uncontrollably, and his body hesitated for a moment.

"Philip, you're ......"

As soon as Howard began to speak, his body suddenly stiffened, and his eyes widened as if he had been struck by lightning or an electric switch.

"Don't you feel sorry......

His eyes twitched slightly, looking at the last blank space in the script, where the last sentence was missing.

Snort!!

Countless pale threads, with the destructive power of death, stabbed out of his body and radiated in all directions.

The pen in Howard's hand slipped and fell into the endless darkness under the stars.

*

When Chen Lun dragged his crumbling body back to Howard, he found that he was not dead.

Howard, who is on the doorstep of the angel, is particularly tenacious.

Even though he was covered in white crystals, and countless pale threads pierced from his body, he still knelt in the starry sky, his head bowed, like an artistic statue.

Of course, His time was running out.

Even if there was no external interference, Howard would probably be completely eroded in a short period of time, and thus fall in this silent starry sky.

Only his face was covered by white crystals, and his sapphire eyes were gray.

Chen Lun walked in silence, and was about to open his mouth to speak to him, but suddenly he felt something, and suddenly turned his head to look aside, and two strange figures stood at some point.

Howard sensed something, and his originally silent eyes changed, and he slowly turned one eyeball to reflect a beautiful woman with long orange hair, and his pupils fluctuated violently.

"Maggie...... How could Lady Sigh let you in?"

Howard's voice was hoarse and low.

The woman named Maggie just shook her head lightly and didn't speak.

"And what are you doing here? No one in the Circle of Destiny can intervene......

"I just came to see him one last time."

Maggie's tone was calm and sad.

Howard was slightly stunned, and then, tears fell uncontrollably from his eyes, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he slowly pulled out an ugly smile.

"I'm sorry, Maggie, I'm going to miss my appointment again."

Philip said lightly.

"It's okay, it's not the first time for you anyway, and I've never blamed you...... It's just a bit of a pity, Philip."

Maggie looked at him with grief and said slowly.

After a pause, he added in a low voice:

"It's a pity......

There was silence all around.

Only the stars twinkle in the starry sky.

"Are you sure you want him to know the truth?"

At this moment, the man in a black top hat standing next to Maggie asked. Maggie was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, the man silently scooped up his hand, and a small object fell into the palm of his hand...... It was the black pen that had fallen from Howard's hand earlier.

Looking down at the pen, the man sighed and waved his hand again.

Chen Lun was stunned to find that the [Shocked] bookmark in his eyebrows flew uncontrollably into the man's hand.

Rushing......

The bookmark sprawled out branches, forming an illusory quaint book, which was held in the other party's hand.

"Philip Howard, do you know what this is?"

The man asked slowly, in a calm tone.

Philip looked at the book and smiled:

"Philip in Wonderland, I wrote it myself...... I dreamed of travel

The Codex recorded in the Boundary."

He lifted his eyes to the man.

"I think you should know that, Oscar."

Oscar, the man in the black hat, did not answer.

He just looked at Philip quietly and continued:

"What did you write it in at the time?"

"Of course it's a [human comedy]......

Philip was stunned halfway through.

At that time, the teacher was not dead, where did the [human comedy] come from?

He suddenly understood something, and muttered in his mouth:

"Original...... Teachers didn't exist from the beginning."

"No, you're wrong."

Oscar shook his head.

"Your teacher has existed since the beginning, and He only exists in the form of this pen."

"Mr. Clough, is this pen?!"

Philip looked incredulous.

He quickly laughed and denied it.

"No way, He's a living man, a demigod of sequence three."

Oscar looked at Philip calmly, but said:

"Clough's true identity is a 'god's sin,' which you can understand as a remnant of God's death...... And this god once wrote a biography of himself called "The Autobiography of Philip Howard Clough...... I think you should understand by now that you're all fictional characters."

He looked at Philip's glazed eyes and sighed.

"Clough...... He is actually the Lord God of Destiny that I have followed, Huangong."

Ignoring Chen Lun and Philip's shock, Oscar continued:

"As for this pen, and this bookmark, it is the only divinity that has been part of His downfall, and has had a decisive impact on your destiny from the moment you were created."

As he spoke, the black pen in Oscar's hand slowly squirmed and quietly turned into another black bookmark, which was the same as the emerald green [Sting] specification, but it always revealed a treacherous atmosphere.

That breath seems to contain some kind of rule authority that is absolutely hidden, blinded, and even reincarnated.

Chen Lun listened from the sidelines, and his heart was shocked.

First of all, he was surprised that Philip Howard was a fictional character, although they had also experienced the life of a normal person, but in fact there was no fate, only the end of fate, and could not form a complete circle.

The same is true of the girl Lutina Castillo, who was created by the power of mythology as the [Nature Sequence III - Creator].

However, Chen Lun had never explored the fate of Philip and Howard, so he did not know this.

Secondly, Chen Lun didn't expect that the pen was actually one of the [Four Seasons Bookmark], and it seemed that the fountain pen was just a certain form of it. From the very beginning, Philip and Howard were deceived by this black bookmark, mistakenly thinking that they were living people, and followed it to learn and grow until they stepped into the circle of fate step by step, unable to extricate themselves.

In the end, what shocked Chen Lun was the Lord God of Destiny, Huan Gong, who had fallen!

The bookmark is the only divinity that He left behind after his death.

It is also part of his authority.

This also just shows why "Philip in Wonderland" is obviously written by a sage in sequence four, but it can use the dream world as a blueprint to reproduce an independent fairyland world. This includes even the polluting sources and gods, and the creatures in them have their own minds.

That's because the bookmarks have taken part of their fate!

This is the "power of creation" in a sense!

For a while, Chen Lun and Philip fell silent.

"Haha...... What a wonderful script!"

Philip, who was half-kneeling like a white crystal statue, struggled with his expression, and suddenly one side of his face changed to Howard, and he laughed.

"It turns out that my life is just a vulgar book, and the more unbearable episodes there are in the book, the more ecstatic my readers become......

Howard laughed, tears spilling out of the corners of his eyes that had gradually crystallized, both crazy and sad, the two emotions were as strange as his current state of coexistence of two personalities, both strange and reasonable.

As if because he saw that his life with his friend Philip was nothing more than the result of Huan Gong's setting from the beginning, he suddenly felt endless despair and disheartened.

Immediately afterwards, Philip Howard looked at Chen Lun again, with indescribable deep meaning and expectation in his eyes, and said hoarsely:

"Good, Jack...... You have now managed to escape the fate I have imposed on you, and you will only be full of hope in the future, wishing you to live your true life...... It's kind of making up for this ridiculous regret for me."

After he finished speaking, he struggled to his feet as he struggled to stand up as he fought against his crystallized body...... The whole process clicked, and countless white crystal dust fell until He stood upright.

Philip Howard said to the dead starry sky in a tone that was no longer human-like:

"Destiny...... It's no longer something I'm qualified to talk about, and I just want to seek a great relief now!"

With that, he gave up his resistance and let the white crystals swallow him.

Until the end, there was endless regret in His eyes.
