Chapter 1233: Chapter 898: Filly’s Desire
Facing the golden-haired girl’s gaze, the Cult Leader, who had just boasted, suddenly felt a dry mouth.
Only then did Ash realize he had gone too far. He was just an ordinary Legendary Mage, even he had many unfulfilled desires himself. Silver Lamp was still waiting for him in the silent Senluo, Vishi was still far from willing to abide by the rules, let alone the unresolvable conflicts between the Sword Maiden and the Witch… How dare he say grandiose words like a genie in front of the girl?
But perhaps it was precisely because he was in front of Filly that Ash would say such things. She was like a seed drifting to the Desolate Land, no spring willing to let her sprout, yet she still struggled to bloom in the wrong winter. She believed in him so much, naive enough not to doubt him, truly thinking of him from the heart… Ash had already let her down once, how could he let her down a second ti?
“Filly.” Ash exhaled: “You know, although covering yourself with a blanket becos warm when it’s cold, it’s not the blanket that warms you. On the contrary, it’s actually you who warms the blanket.”
“So… do you understand what I an?”
Filly blinked, hesitated for a mont: “…Recently, it’s cold, do I need to cover myself with a blanket at night?”
“…That’s right, don’t catch a cold when it’s chilly!” Ash suddenly slapped his own face, many thoughts crossed his mind, but ultimately he was determined and said earnestly: “Back to the topic, any wish is possible, even if I can’t achieve it, I will do my best to help you achieve it; if I can help, I will give my all.”
However, Filly asked, “If our world were to be destroyed, would you, Ash, return to your world and continue living?”
“Yes.” Ash nodded frankly: “But we cannot continue living forever, which is one of the reasons why I finally told you the truth… We are infected with Hell’s Poison.”
“If we leave this world, Hell’s Poison will eventually claim our lives. Although we can seek refuge with other Divine Lords to survive, the risk factor is only high and not low, so it can be said that if your world is destroyed, we will also et our end.”
He laughed at himself: “Maybe I’m projecting my own feelings, but if soone tells the world is about to be destroyed, yet he can escape unscathed, I would feel resentnt toward him even if I’m rational. But if everyone dies together, the mood is not too bad, even going to hell won’t be lonely.”
Filly shook her head: “You wouldn’t think like that, if it were Mr. Igula and Mr. Harvey, you would surely hope they could live well.”
Ash puckered his lips: “But if Vishi were to survive, I’d be so angry my insides would burn… Yes, I must have been contaminated by Vishi, which is why I misjudged your thoughts, though you aren’t such a person.”
Filly giggled, but quickly restrained her smile and seriously asked: “Is there really no way to save this world and everyone’s lives?”
Ash originally wanted to directly deny, after all, false hope is toxic, just like little girls using matches to warm themselves, yet they don’t even have matches, unable to change this outco or even delay it.
But noticing the plea and expectation in Filly’s eyes, Ash suddenly realized he was Filly’s only lifeline she could rely on. If even he pronounced an end to this world, then the girl would only be able to sink into the mire of despair in her coming days.
“…If we must say, it’s not entirely impossible.”
Filly’s previously downcast face visibly lit up: “What way?!”
“The Kingdom of Allstars exists precisely to hunt the Source Angel.” Ash said: “The reason we think the Dazzling Star Magic Master will destroy the Kingdom of Allstars is because after hunting the Source Angel, the Magic Master no longer needs this kingdom. But it’s also possible that the Magic Master is willing to keep the Kingdom of Allstars; if that’s the case, the world will be safe, but the downside is…”
“The fate of the whole world depends on soone’s whim.” Filly lightly bit her lip: “Can we only hope the mastermind behind all this shows rcy?”
“There’s another way, which is to force the mastermind to have rcy.” Ash said: “Since the Kingdom of Allstars is ant to capture the Source Angel, as long as the Source Angel escapes, the Dazzling Star Magic Master will naturally preserve the Kingdom of Allstars until the next Angel Hunt.”
“If the Source Angel cannot escape, we help it fight against the Dazzling Star Magic Master, turning the death sentence into a reprieve; in the best scenario, turning its sentence into life imprisonnt, then the Kingdom of Allstars will endure with the Source Angel forever.”
Filly: “Can we help the Source Angel escape?”
“It’s difficult, extrely difficult.” Ash shook his head: “If we could help the Source Angel escape, we would have left Allstars long ago. The Allstars prison absolutely suppresses internally, compared to the Magic Master, we are simply too weak, unless other Divine Lords are willing to break the prison, otherwise the Source Angel cannot escape.”
“But other Divine Lords also want to hunt the Source Angel; on this point, all the Divine Lords’ interests align. They only have disagreents over the distribution of the Source Angel’s legacy; it’s hard to imagine they would break the Allstars prison.”
“In contrast, helping the Source Angel to survive might be simpler; after all, as long as the Magic Master cannot find the Source Angel, He will definitely not destroy the Kingdom of Allstars.”
