Night World Players

Chapter 224 Even if I exhaust the entire sea of ​​stars, I will definitely find her back

The rush of time washed away Gray's last figure.

Rast looked at the end of the river and remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, all the confusion and doubts in Rast's heart... finally disappeared, completing a complete closure.

Why do the memories of the Canaan ruins always remain in my memory, and why do I still miss the woman who hugged me tightly in the fire and showed her beautiful smile?
Why, when he had just passed the certification of the Night World and became a Night Traveler, he did not awaken from nothing, but directly revived the Night Blade called "Fool's Library"?

This was naturally because the woman who hugged him tightly in the fire and called herself the "Shore Keeper" was Grey herself, Grey after she became the Angel of Destiny.

After Gray's wish was twisted by fate and led to misfortune—

Gray passed down the "Fool's Library" to her childhood self and made her third wish, opening up the night world.

Then, she hid her childhood self in the historical echoes of the night world.

These things, like the "artificial angel plan" that Grey arranged for Xiao Ai, are all her best efforts to make up for the tragedy she caused.

All this is just to correct the distorted fate of himself and Xiao Ai.

From the Sixth Era that did not belong to him and Xiao Ai, he returned to the original correct history.

However, unlike Xiao Ai, who was forced to know the truth because she was in critical condition and needed to be hospitalized... I was still young and ignorant at that time, and far from mature.

Grey was worried that she might not be ready to know the truth at that time, so she hid it all from herself.

Furthermore, in order to prevent themselves from being trapped in the echoes of history and suffering mental collapse and self-destruction due to the long cycle of time... Grey and Xiao Ai also set up a phantom land called "Canaan" as an emergency mechanism when their mental fluctuation threshold exceeds a certain point and is on the verge of collapse.

It was like a safe haven, an isolated utopia... And it was precisely because of the harbor called "Canaan" that he had been able to persevere through the long years in Deep Blue Harbor, waiting for the turning point when the echoes of history were reopened by Hiltina and the correct history was restored.

Why was it that Xiao Ai, a fellow angel, could recognize him the moment they met, even willing to defy the power of history to acknowledge him? But when he met young Grey in Frozen Water Town, Grey didn't recognize him like Xiao Ai did.

This is naturally because, at this moment, Gray has fallen from the throne of angels... and has lost her status as an angel that is omnipresent and exists in every moment of history.

The person he had met in the echoes of history was not the self-projection of the "Angel of Destiny" Grey, but an ordinary human girl named Grey.

In the present world after the night world, at the current time point, Gray has been exiled by fate and is still wandering in the deepest part of the starry sea.

……

The world is silent, leaving only the long river of time around still roaring and echoing forever.

In the end, it was Dean Yin who took the initiative to speak and broke the eerie silence.

"I say, we don't really need to make the atmosphere so heavy, right?"

It shook its big, furry, snow-white tail and gently swept it across Rast's cheek, making him feel itchy.

"As the price of a wish to fate, an exchange of equal value... Little Gray will indeed have her angel's mark erased from history and be banished to the depths of space, the very depths of the sea of ​​stars."

"But this doesn't mean goodbye forever."

Dean Yin paused for a moment, and stared into the eyes of Rast beside him with his ruby-like eyes.

"Since that exile from the depths of the starry sea was a price demanded in exchange for the 'birth of the Night World'..." "Then, if one day you were to completely conquer the entire Night World, this equivalent exchange would naturally cease to exist."

"And little Gray will be able to break free from the shackles of this starry sky. Then—"

"Perhaps, you can meet again."

Listening to Dean Yin's words, Last couldn't help but smile.

"I understand, Dean Yin."

"So, you still don't understand the Shore Guardians... I'm not as fragile as you think."

"The so-called shore guardian is someone who has experienced failure over and over again, fallen into despair, and yet has been able to stand up again and again."

"Regardless of the situation, as long as we clear the Night World, we might be able to rescue Gray."

"Besides, even if clearing the Night World doesn't free her, it doesn't matter."

His gaze lingered for a long time at the end of the sea of ​​stars.

"In the final analysis, whether it's falling from the throne of angels, losing one's 'uniqueness,' being eternally exiled, wandering in the deepest reaches of the starry sea...it's all just a twist on the so-called fate, the so-called laws of the world."

"And fate is something that is born to be trampled underfoot."

"If the sixth level isn't enough, then become a legend. If legend isn't enough, then become an angel..."

"If even angels cannot fight fate, then I will surpass all myths of the past and present and become the strongest one, ruling over all angels."

"Even if I search every corner of the universe and the end of the sea of ​​stars, I will definitely find her back."

"But, having said that..."

Last's gaze withdrew from the depths of the sea of ​​stars and fell back on Dean Yin beside him: "I still have to thank you, Dean Yin."

"Just now, Dean Yin, you were worried that I was in a bad mood and giving up on myself because of my separation from Gray, so you were comforting me in your own way, right?"

"You seem so unreliable normally, but even when the murderous angel Xiao Ai appeared before me, Dean Yin didn't just abandon me and run away. Instead, you stood by me."

"Thank you."

"I must retract my previous assessment. Dean Yin, as a professor at Star University, is quite reliable at critical moments."

"you……"

Hearing what Rast said, all the hair on Dean Ferret's body stood up and exploded on the spot.

"I...I'm not saying this just to comfort you!"

"Stupid, stupid, stupid...idiot!"

"By the way, Dean Yin, your textbook display of tsundere is as reliable as ever."
