Although it was not voluntary, Xu Zhi knew that he was only born in the Federation, and he had lived until now, and he had been involved in a huge conspiracy.

Especially when she jumps out of the chessboard of the "Federation", I am afraid that she will not be able to gain real freedom, but will jump from a small chess game into a larger chess game.

One ring after another, and she is one of the variables, and as a variable, she will be an existence that people want to destroy.

No matter how you look at it, she's going to be in a terrible situation when she leaves.

But now, this is not the time to think about that.

The thunder in the sky was significantly weaker than before, but the [Cup] attribute aura in the air gradually dissipated as the crack was constantly stretched open, and both sides seemed to have reached a limit, and they were about to decide the winner.

At such a critical moment, Xu Zhi's movements attracted the attention of these two.

If it had been before, her aura would not have been enough to make the unknown archbishop and the [Overseer] care, but at the moment of her "breakthrough", the aura belonging to "Xu Zhi" became obvious, as if a faint but unignorable lamp suddenly lit up in the darkness.

When the unknown archbishop turned his head to look at him, Xu Zhi realized that the gaze that had once made her quite stressful was no longer frightening at this moment, not only because she had broken through the level confinement, but more because it was already very tired and seriously injured.

[Even if he helps the archbishop to improve to the strength he shouldn't have, to replace himself, but the archbishop is still just an archbishop, and you have a better chance of winning than before.] 】

Xu Zhi smiled and raised his hand and drew his knife: "This sounds like you didn't have much hope that I could win before." ”

It's just that at the moment when he held the hilt, Xu Zhi's expression was slightly surprised.

She felt the power inside the knife that didn't belong to her.

Xu Zhi looked back, only in the distance, the place where Zhong Lingfan and the others were staying was empty, and only a formation that shone faintly was left.

There was no doubt that they were all dead, and only this formation was still functioning.

Today's Xu Zhi can see the effect of the formation at a glance, it is a sacrificial formation that extracts the soul of the transcendent as a sacrifice, because of the existence of the formation, Xu Zhi still has the ability to [cut off] in the knife at this moment, once she uses it, it is to burn the soul of the owner.

And not alone.

As a "transit station", Zhong Lingfan obviously also sacrificed his soul to the formation and became fuel.

She tried her best, and when her physical body was about to be extinguished, before her consciousness dissipated, she sacrificed her soul in the formation, activated the final plan, and left a "hole card" for Xu Zhi.

But it also means that the person named "Zhong Lingfan" will completely dissipate, and even his soul will be burned, just like those who have been sucked into the sun.

Why is this possible?

Xu Zhi was puzzled, if it was just because of his loyalty to her, he couldn't actually let Zhong Lingfan do this, at most she would die without betraying her, instead of sacrificing everything like now, this move was probably more out of Zhong Lingfan's own "will".

The people of the Federation have already died, and she should also know that no one will be alive except for Xu Zhi.

Even if only Xu Zhi had a chance to live, would she be willing to make such a decision?

And judging from the fineness and effect of the formation, this must have been prepared by her a long time ago.

Completely incomprehensible.

So she had already said that some people in the [Lamp] attribute were just like [cups], and it was a terrible belief that they could give everything for something.

But thanks to the existence of people like Zhong Lingfan, she can now have one more card in her hand.

After understanding Zhong Lingfan's selfless intentions, Xu Zhi suddenly felt that his shoulders became heavy, and when the [lamp] in her body appeared, and as the game console slowly flowed into her body, the emotions that had been discarded by her were gradually returning, and Xu Zhi already understood what "responsibility" was.

But she still didn't care too much about it, until this moment, seeing the formation left by Zhong Lingfan, and understanding that someone was willing to help her at the cost of annihilation at this moment, she suddenly realized that she had already borne the expectations of countless dead people, not expecting her to "take revenge" or whatever, just expecting that she could live as the last Federation person.

Xu Zhi had never recognized herself as a member of the Federation before, nor did she feel that Cloud City was her hometown, but until this moment, she was willing to admit that this dissipated land was her hometown.

When the girl admitted this fact and was willing to look directly into her heart, the [Lamp] attribute energy that was originally slowly flowing to her suddenly became active, and she no longer needed the traction of the narrator, and these energies that should have belonged to Xu Zhi returned to her body at this moment.

"You seem to have grown up a little. 】

"Is this the time to say this?" Xu Zhi tried to keep his tone the same as when he used to tease the narrator, but it was difficult.

The thunder and lightning in the sky seemed to have stopped, but this did not mean that the [Overseer] had failed, but that Xu Zhi's sudden "appearance" caused the scene to form a stalemate.

[Looks like you know. 】

The narrator doesn't seem to mean to stop.

"Know what." Although the girl holding the knife and aiming at the sky was staring at her opponent at the moment, her tone was not sharp, on the contrary, she faintly resisted.

Know what I am. 】

"A game console, I knew this from the beginning." The girl's tone seemed to be a little disdainful, wanting to stop the topic.

It seemed that someone smiled helplessly, and Xu Zhi heard a gentle sigh.

[Still a child.] 】

"I said you have to pick up the things you once lost, and now, you are doing a great job. 】

[It's the last moment, I need to give you back the power that should belong to you.] 】

Use this power to defeat it and leave alive. 】

Xu Zhi was silent, it was obviously the last moment, but her mind was not exactly how to defeat the opponent, rarely, she felt sad.

seemed to sense Xu Zhi's mood, which was exactly the same as hers, but a more gentle female voice soothed:

[Don't be sad, I'm a part of you, and now we're just one again, aren't we?] 】

Yes.

That familiar voice was Xu Zhi's own voice, but when she heard it from the perspective of an observer, it was different from what she usually heard, so she just felt familiar at first.

She already had some guesses.

At the beginning of the game, she was the first to awaken, and the [lamp] attribute was extraordinary.

[It's amazing, I've never seen anyone who can have the top-level affinity of two attributes at the same time.] 】

The narrator still seems unhappy when he sees her, and even though the situation is critical, he still opens his mouth to coax her.

[The moth is indeed more suitable for you at that time, and you made the right choice. 】

Throw away the [lamp] and choose [moth], no matter how talented she is, she can't really take two paths at the same time, and the attribute conflict still exists, so Xu Zhi, who didn't understand anything at the time, almost subconsciously discarded the [lamp].

She didn't like the lamp, she didn't like all the qualities of the lamp, these "good", "kind", "upright" things made her sneer at that time.

At that time, Xu Zhi was full of world-weary emotions and uncontrollable anger, hating everything around her, and it was natural that she would choose a more self-contained [moth].

It's like a moth to a fire, but the [moth] is her, and the lamp that attracts the [moth] is also her.

She once asked the narrator if the console was her supernatural ability, and the narrator denied it, which was not a lie.

The truth is that she awakened the transcendent attributes of the [Lamp], but was unconsciously abandoned by herself, and the [Lamp] she abandoned attracted the fragments of other [Lights] wandering in this world, which led to the birth of the game console.

The game console is indeed not her extraordinary ability, but the unique "transcendent item" created by the fusion of her [lamp] attribute and other fragments.

Now, the game console is disintegrating, returning all its power to Xu Zhi.

This also means that the narration will dissipate.

We are not separated. 】

The narrator says.

It's just that from now on, it will return to its original appearance, simply existing as a transcendent attribute, no longer having self-awareness, and no longer being able to talk to Xu Zhi.

It's regrettable, but it's also something that can't be helped.

[Okay, cheer up, you don't want to put a stinky face on me at the last moment, right? ] 】

The narrator also rarely made a joke with Xu Zhi.

Hearing this, Xu Zhi pulled the muscles on his face and tried to pull out a smile, but it was really a little stiff.

[It's ugly to death.] 】

A dissatisfied voice surfaced, and then the broken game console floated out of her pocket and flew in front of Xu Zhi's eyes, and the already somewhat blurry screen suddenly lit up, revealing a simple pixel smile.

Then the narrator's voice no longer appeared in Xu Zhi's mind, as if it no longer had the ability to speak directly to Xu Zhi.

The pixel smile disappears, and the console's screen resurfaces with pixel subtitles in white on a black background.

[Do you want to laugh like this? 】

Xu Zhi reluctantly moved the corners of his mouth, but still failed.

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly dissipated, and the Overseer seemed ready to do something.

[There is no time. 】

The subtitles changed, and the dilapidated body of the console began to emit a pale golden glow, and its screen flashed, as if the battery was about to shut down soon, and it looked like a new game was about to start.

[The road ahead, you need to go by yourself. 】

[Xu Zhi, good luck, remember, I will always and forever, on your side. 】

The screen flickered, then went completely black.

The glimmer of light covered the entire game console, and in Xu Zhi's eyes, this game console, which had been with her for a long time and was regarded as the only trusted companion, turned into a point of light symbolizing the attribute of [lamp] in front of her eyes, dissipated little by little, and floated into her body.

In the end, most of the game console dissolved, leaving only a pale golden shimmer that seemed to form a ginkgo biloba the size of half a palm, Xu Zhi raised his hand, and the ginkgo biloba composed of light points fell on her palm, and finally completely melted into her body.

It was a fallen leaf that she had once disapproved of, and that had been casually thrown on the side of the road, and now it had floated back into her palm.

I will love you forever and ever. 】
