As if soaked in ink, the darkness that separates all "perceptions" envelops Esther layer after layer.

She did fall asleep for a few minutes, but after a loud earthquake was heard outside Chanis's door, the other seals in the depths of the corridor began to emit more and more restless whispers due to the lack of suppression from the "Source of Strength".

These whispers are not real sounds, but resonances peculiar to extraordinary powers, mostly because of the spiritual imprint left by the death of the original owner, full of intense, conflicting emotions.

They are also another projection of the "chaos" in the fate of the extraordinary.

Even fate can be cohesive by chance, not to mention those who are based on extraordinary power.

Esther, who was asleep in the stone house, was awakened again by these seals that had lost their suppressive power, and her heart was full of anger, and she couldn't even tell whether the source of this anger was the noise of the seals, or whether Dunn forcibly sealed her here against her will.

Esther had thought that the fear of death would be what she feared the most, but now, she suddenly realized that what she feared most was those familiar smiling faces with different faces, never to appear in this world again.

Just thinking of this, the pent-up anger in her heart was all detonated.

There was a bubble-like cracking sound in the darkness, and with such sounds, one after another points of light appeared around Esther, floating out of her head.

The silent power surged again, and those points of light trembled more and more violently, constantly shaking away the shadows that were approaching, and they were in groups of three or five, and they actually tore at the power that belonged to darkness in turn! More and more darkness was shattered, and behind many points of light there was a deep black hole, which flew and rotated with the point of light itself, like the shadow of the point of light itself.

Esther opened her eyes again, and her eyes were strange, her left eye showing a dark tumbling darkness, and her right eye showing a pale gold that was more brilliant than those spots, like the moon and night showing color under her eyes.

Guarded by the galactic dots of light, Esther slowly stood up, her movements tearing a random piece of flesh from her skin, shattering not only the darkness around her, but also her fragile human body.

Esther's arms, cheeks, and legs were stained red with blood, stained her cream-white linen skirt, but she moved her feet a little and walked to the door of the stone house, and put her hand on the black stone door.

The heavy, solid stone door was washed by invisible ripples, and one crack after another began in Esther's palm, extending like a spider web, and even in the process of cracking, the door did not make any sound.

It was all slow and silent, as if the mute button had been pressed, and in the silence, the light around Esther grew brighter and brighter.

It wasn't until the darkness gradually weakened, and was finally dispersed by the light, that the scene in the stone house suddenly became clear, and no sound came in through the cracks in the darkness, even if it was far away, and it still made Esther's breath suffocate when she "felt" it.

It was a cry, a baby's cry.

It was filled with endless hatred and anger.

——

As Esther ran down the hallway, she could barely feel the bleeding and pain in every tear on her body.

When she pulled open the Chanis Gate with all her might, she startled Siga, who was guarding here, but in the screaming call of Siga, Esther ran up the stairs without looking back, as if riding a gust of wind under her feet, and there was only one thought in her heart:

Hurry up, hurry up, be sure to catch up!

The unrestrained dots of light happily chased after Esther, circling around her, pulling out two soft, translucent glowing streamers as they were too fast.

The sound of a series of baby cries rang out again, and the ground above him shook again, and a few clusters of fine ash and gravel fell, but before they could reach the ground, they were swept away by the flying points of light.

Esther rushed to the door leading to the reception hall, but the wall outside had already collapsed, and even with the twist of the handle, the door was stuck tightly outside the collapsing wall. The chaotic and intertwined extraordinary power outside made the points of light around Esther more and more restless, and the situation above was already extremely dangerous, and she was almost unable to catch up.

If I can catch up, I will! I don't want Captain Dunn to die like that!

The light spot heard her voice, and as Esther responded, they pressed her shoulders against the door with all her might, and they were also densely attached to the door.

As a burst of sun-like light erupted outside, the entire house shook violently, and the points of light around Esther trembled violently, and the door was instantly shattered by them, and these points of light rushed out frantically, forming a raging and chaotic stream of light, shattering the broken wall that was crushing the door.

The world outside the door was dazzling, the aftermath of the sun's impact spread outward, and a ball of light gathered into invisible ashes at the place where it was stimulated.

In the light of the sky cast by the holes in the collapsed walls and ceilings, a faint cloud of dust rose silently.

Crane barely managed to stabilize his body, and the moment he saw the light flow rushing out, his heart tightened, and he thought that a new enemy had appeared, but soon he saw Esther with blood stains on her body, and realized that this was the scene caused by the fellow being on the verge of losing control again.

Leonard was still lying in the rubble, only one of his arms could be seen from Crane's angle, and it was not even clear if he was still alive.

Crane and Esther looked at Dunn together, the figure in the thin black trench coat still standing in place, and the heart in the silver box was still beating, which made Crane happy.

Dunn looked up at Klein, and the afterglow swept over Esther, who burned the last bit of life with a gentle but reassuring smile: "We saved Tingen. ”

He squeezed his eyes at the two of them, and then closed them peacefully, calmly going to meet the set end of the night watch, returning to the goddess's kingdom.

The moment the heart in the box stopped beating, all the points of light around Esther pounced, like a piranha that had seen its prey. Esther's many wounds burst open, and large swaths of blood converged into streams, floating up from the ground, and once again converging into a bright red Möbius ring.

Esther's face was silent, making her look almost completely lifeless, like a living dead, and her black and gold eyes grew more and more dazzling until the dark side also burst into light.

The rest of the points of light that were still around Esther began to swirl, outlining the symbol of an infinite loop in the air.

Crane watched the scene in a daze, unable to make a sound, eager to dissuade Esther, but with a faint, longing hope—he was expecting a miracle.

And for this world, miracles have always existed.

Just pay the price.
