Ash certainly knew.
But he really didn’t expect that Rose would be willing to save the cage imprisoning her. She clearly understood nothing, not even the concept of good and evil. Her existence spanned an unimaginable length of ti for Ash, yet her nature was even more innocent than a baby.
Because Ash was special, she followed him, and because she was an assistant, she would do whatever Ash asked her to. Ash would unconsciously rely on her abilities but also wanted to care for her naivety.
Before the Holy Grail was separated, Rose said she felt terrible, an agony even the Source Angel could not bear. No one could imagine how she, in such a state, distributed her power to Allstars. Perhaps it was because of Ash, perhaps an awakening of kindness, or perhaps her deep love for the beings of the Void Realm over the millennia.
But in this way, could Allstars—
"I never thought the Source Angel would be by your side. Even less did I think you had such a profound impact on the Source Angel."
Facing Ash’s complex gaze, Dazzling Star said coldly, "However, I do not accept the guidance of the Source Angel."
Bang!
As the luminous threads of the Holy Grail snapped, Ash felt the entire world tremble, as Chaos spread from the Holy Grail, instantly engulfing the Canaan, turning everything into nothingness.
The tracks, the earth, the train, even the corpse beside Ash disappeared without a trace. Ash cough violently, but no blood ca, because he had lost his physical body, he had returned to his soul state!
Beneath his feet, Chaos gradually revealed a vivid ruby color—Ruby Mountain!
The Kingdom of Shadows began to collapse, Allstars officially entered a countdown to extinction! But the teoric Heavenly Curtain still sealed off all exits, Dazzling Star would give no chance to the predators outside!
Ash looked at Dazzling Star standing atop Ruby Mountain and almost whispered, "Why?"
Clearly, integrating Allstars into the Heavenly Kingdom would be the most cost-effective choice, why insist on destroying this world?
"Then why didn’t you accept my invitation?" Dazzling Star said indifferently, "Perfection only ever exists in fantasy. A mage pursuing perfection is like a crying child, knowing impossibility, yet still placing hope on tears."
"Just like you, Ash Heath."
"You cannot keep Allstars; you cannot obtain the Holy Grail either."
"Earlier you attacked , snatched a drop of Supre Nectar, consider it the payback for seizing your Holy Grail, from now on, no more debts. Since the last causality has been resolved, I will not delay any further, this mont is the ultimate mont." Dazzling Star said, "Now I allow you to stand at the front row of the audience, to witness the mages welcoming the greatest era."
"The empty Supre Throne is about to welco its master."
...
...
Like shadows burned by light, the Kingdom of Allstars swiftly turned to nothingness. This world, which had persisted for over a thousand years, t its destined end.
Countless buildings vanished into oblivion, countless technologies dissipated into void, so were sleeping, so were working, so were gaming, so were strolling with their daughters in an Amusent Park. Their joys, sorrows, dreams, and lives, because they weren’t ant to exist, vanished without a trace, even the Void Realm wouldn’t record their extinction.
The cities Ash and others treaded, the people they knew, the friends they t on their journeys...places once filled with mories, now only mories remain.
Beside the overturned train, the mages fighting with corpses saw the engulfing chaos wave from afar.
Vishi almost imdiately discarded her lance, rushing forward to embrace Nia tightly.
Nia also realized sothing, this prickly little hedgehog who naturally avoided intimate contact, for the first ti affectionately wrapped her arms around the maid’s waist, buried her head in her warm embrace. She knew how well the maid treated her, apart from Ash, only Vishi paid heed to her feelings.
She didn’t know what was happening with Filly and Rose, but she was already quite content. She never anticipated everlasting days, living flamboyantly like fireworks, abruptly ending before everything grew mundane, what more could she ask for?
But...
"I..." Nia said softly, "still envy the Sword Maiden."
As Chaos drifted on, the train, the corpses, everything vanished without a trace. Vishi glanced down at her now empty arms, tightly pressed her lips together, and let out a gentle sigh.
"When I see that all that grows can only be perfect for a fleeting mont."
"The world stage is empty, only a fla moves in secrecy."
"I see humans grow like vegetation, bestowed with growth and decay under the sa sky."
"In youth they flourish, at midday they wither, all beauty erased from mory."
"Then this trick of a paused mont brings your youthful visage before ."
"Cruel ti conspires with decay, to turn your youthful daylight into dark night,"
"To love you, I shall contend with ti,"
"What it steals from you, I will reignite."
Harvey’s ethereal voice lingered across Ruby Mountain, while Tiramisu and the Earth Abyss Mage did not interfere. Igula noticed the Curse Elf Female Mage was not dead, just unconscious, and the group exchanged glances, going over to revive her.
...
...
Clang!
As Ash was knocked down the mountain top for the sixth ti, he knew everything was over. Even if he could reclaim the Holy Grail now, the disappearance of Allstars was irreversible.
