"Huh? Is that?! ”

Maggie, who had just returned to the Golden Sacred Tree, suddenly looked back.

His eyes were astonished, reflecting the colorful streamers.

I saw that in the distance of Tianyuan, a pillar of glazed fire appeared that swayed upward. But soon, with a shock of the entire fairyland, the pillar of fire spread out and flowed backwards, converging towards the horizon like a funnel, and finally disappeared.

"In that flame, there is actually the power of the seven divine paths, and even nature is included......

Maggie suppressed the horror in her heart and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"That's not the power of the way I know! How many secrets does Jack still hide?! ”

Not only Him, but even the janitor and the Three Ladies of Pain who came with him were all shocked.

Among them, Margaret, an old woman in a black dress, looked into the distance and slowly spoke:

"Incredible...... Even if they are so far away, the feeling of palpitations has not subsided, which shows that the true strength of King Cang is beyond our ability to estimate. ”

Under the heavens, the city of cats.

Countless immortal residents on the street still couldn't kneel for a long time, feeling the coercion from Tianyuan, and they were in awe.

In the Dawn Cathedral next to the central white tower, the chant sung by the believers slowly stopped, and one by one they folded their hands and closed their eyes and bowed their heads.

"Praise the great king."

Dressed in a rich gray robe and with her hair curled, Ahsoka slowly opened her eyes, looked at the sky outside the church, and prayed softly.

Now that the elderly lord of Daya has abdicated and lived an idle life of fishing and drinking tea, Ahsoka has won the love of the residents of Cat City for his performance over the years, and he has become the lord of the new city as a matter of course.

In the City of Cats, Ahsoka's status is exalted, and even the clergy of the Dawning Church are very respectful to her.

But there is one thing that she can never forget.

"Are you starting to miss Lucy-senpai again?"

Beside him, Felix Annovin, who was nearly thirty years old, said in a voice.

Over the years, as the deputy of the city lord, he has grown a lot, faded away from his former childishness, and became more and more mature.

"Hmm."

Ahsoka nodded.

Sentimentality flashed in his eyes.

"The teacher is only one step away from the god position, and the whole fairy land is excited about it, and among the few of us back then, Senior Sister Lucy admired the teacher the most...... But now she didn't have a chance to see it. ”

On the other side, Raphael, who served as the captain of the City of Cats Guard, patted Ahsoka on the shoulder and comforted:

"Miss Lucy will be fine."

"Well, I hope so."

Ahsoka sighed.

She used to have the best relationship with Sister Lucy, and she is still worried about it...... Although she hoped that the teacher could save her, she didn't dare to disturb the teacher rashly.

Northern part of the Dawning Empire, Byron State.

Port Bunsen, close to the far north coast, is as deserted as ever.

A woman in a light brown tunic coat and a wide-brimmed hat was leaning lazily against the corner of a grocery store, smoking a cigarette and glancing the pier from time to time.

In a short time, a medium-sized merchant ship sounded its horn, lifted anchor and sailed away from the harbor, heading for the foggy sea.

The woman's eyes were gloomy, and she dropped the cigarette butt and spat out the last puff of smoke.

"Sure enough...... The existence of this 'homing' cannot be discovered below the high position, and the ship and its passengers are all affected by the extremely high power of fate and experience endless reincarnation. ”

Irina has been observing here for more than half a month.

Every morning, the "Homecoming" would leave the harbor and sail, but the next day, it would inexplicably reappear in the harbor and set off again, and the cycle would repeat itself, as if there was no end.

At the beginning, Dagon had warned that in addition to Irina herself, the last two contestants of the "Honor Carnival", Lucy and Boone, were in an extremely special state and were in a dangerous position.

But before the final matters that Irina's attention could be said to be, Dagon's crown was attacked by the king of Cang......

He has not answered his prayers since.

Irina was terrified, so she became more cautious.

Instead of rushing to find the last two contestants, he devoted himself to arranging the ritual of the saints...... Thanks to killing several contestants in quick succession, Irina was rewarded with the crown of Dagon, and it accumulated quickly.

It wasn't until more than half a year ago that he was finally successfully promoted to the Sage of the Deep Sea, Sequence 4 [Apostle of the Scourge], that he had more confidence to come here.

"The unfinished admonition of the Great Gon should be the kind of cycle that he refers to...... If I get on the boat, I will fall into samsara, like the passengers of the boat, and I will never be able to get out of it. ”

Irina muttered to herself.

Even though he was already a high-ranking saint at the moment, his intuition told him that the power that caused that cycle was extremely terrifying, and once he was affected, he was also powerless to save himself.

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, Irina snorted.

A pain in the depths of his soul made him feel a thrill all over his body.

He immediately raised his arm, and his bloodshot eyes saw the black blood vessels bulging out of his arm.

"Warnings from the bloodline are getting more frequent......"

His heart sank.

Irina knew very well that if the "Carnival of Honor" did not lead to a final winner, the last three contestants, including herself, would be killed by the deep-sea pollution contained in her blood.

It was the "urging" of their father, the Lord of Abbasye, Sebastian Pardor the Eternal Sleeper.

"I can only do it today!"

Irina took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind.

"Although I will be forced into a loop when boarding the 'Homecoming', as long as I can kill Lucy and Boone within a day, before the 'Restart' arrives, I will be able to achieve the conditions of the carnival and be the final winner...... At that time, the god of the sea will send down a gift, which will definitely free me from the influence of the cycle! ”

He thought to himself, and the whole person disappeared at a very fast speed.

With a gust of wind, Irina stepped on the surface of the sea, and with a few jumps, she caught up with the "Homecoming" that had just set sail and landed on deck.

Boone, the fish-man mage who was leaning against the guardrail and looking at "Mystery of the Deep Sea", was suddenly startled, he seemed to feel the attraction of blood, and turned his head to look.

What caught my eye was a woman's cruel smiling face......

The destination of the Homecoming, the Explorer Islands.

The eastern coast is being ransacked by pirates.

The deformed, hideous-looking Captain Anglerfish led his men to burn and loot, and the fishermen wailed and screamed.

Lucy was hiding in a small fishing boat, poking her head out, silently observing the situation on the shore, with a cold look in her eyes.

She looked the same as before, eighteen or nineteen years old, young and beautiful.

The impressive dark green hair fluttered in the sea breeze.

Lucy had no idea that she had been reincarnated here more than 3,000 times, and that nearly a decade had passed in the outside world.

No matter what happened that day, her physical state and memories would be reset the next morning.

So much so that her memory is still stuck in the day she quietly left St. Byron College, without telling the Polaris seniors, nor did she inform Ahsoka and the others.

"Killing contestant Boone was my first step to becoming a winner."

Lucy muttered to herself.

However, until the slaughter on the shore was over and Captain Anglerfish and his men were preparing to retreat, Boone, the fish-man mage, did not come as expected.

She couldn't help but wonder.

At this time.

A raging wave more than ten meters high, like a tsunami, rushed from the surface of the sea and slapped headlong on Captain Anglerfish's broken ship.

With a loud bang.

The ships were torn apart, and countless pirates were screaming to death, even Captain Anglerfish, who was Sequence Five.

Under Lucy's horrified gaze, the waves were like a thousand pounds, crushing the burly Captain Anglerfish to pieces!

A woman in a light brown trench coat rode the waves, accompanied by strong winds and thunder, and floated straight above the small fishing boat, overlooking Lucy.

"You're the only one left, Lucy Payne...... I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and it was because I was too cautious that I delayed it for so long. ”

Irina's gaze was cold, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"High-ranking contestants?!"

Lucy looked up in disbelief.

"How is this possible! If there are high-ranking people involved, what is the point of this 'honor carnival'?! ”

"Pathetic."

Irina obviously had no intention of explaining, but said indifferently.

She raised her hand and grabbed it, and suddenly held a dazzling purple lightning in her hand, which rattled.

Immediately smashed down suddenly-

"Die! The final winner is me! ”

Crack!!

Lucy looked up in a daze, she didn't expect that she would be attacked and killed by a high-ranking sage, at this moment, despair filled her heart.

At the same time, there is also a strong unwillingness and longing.

"Mr. Jack...... Lucy wants to see you again. ”

Lucy's tears flowed.

However, in the next moment, purple lightning pierced her body like a spear.

Rumble!!!

The small fishing boat was reduced to powder by the power of the mythical thunder and lightning, and Lucy was destroyed in an instant, both physically and spiritually dissipated, leaving only a few ashes to drift in the sea breeze.

Irina clenched her fingers, and the purple arc remaining in her palm jumped, and her face couldn't help but show irrepressible excitement and joy.

"Dead! Finally all dead! Hahahaha! I'm the last survivor of the 'Carnival of Honor'! I'm the winner!! ”

Soon, He saw the waves around him grow more violent.

The sky was obscured by thick and gloomy clouds, and lightning flashed and thundered.

Irina felt her blood quicken, and the deep blood was cheering and congratulating Him, as if to herald the great moment to come.

Woo woo –

The wind swept away, and a familiar but seemingly unfamiliar figure gradually emerged from the distant sea.

Irina looked shocked and stared at her.

I saw an ancient square stone pillar break through the sea and stand up, and a huge fish-headed giant was attached to it.

But the fish-headed giant's head, arms, and waist, as well as the rest of the body, were all covered with patches of pale crystals like ringworm scabies.

"Dagon...... Under the crown? ”

Irina spoke in a trembling voice.

Looking at the shocking appearance under the crown of Dagon, he could not suppress a little fear.

The fish-headed giant's bulging eyes, which seemed to never close, were crawling with barnacle-like crystals, and it was impossible to see clearly.

Dagon struggled to open his mouth, uttering the hoarse voice characteristic of the dying:

"Irina...... Congratulations on making this ...... Winner of the ......"

He spoke, twisting his neck like a puppet and making a terrible clicking sound.

Crystalline eyes were fixed in Irina's direction.

Irina couldn't help but wonder what the King had done to His Majesty the Great Gon to be so horrific that the Lord of the Great Deep Divers would be so horribly injured.

"You will receive the Father's supreme gift!"

Dagon roared.

In his tone, there seemed to be an indescribable excitement and anticipation.
