Should I raise you too?

Chapter 90 The First Ray of Sunlight (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader)

In tonight's intense, high-level battle, the "Sun Disk" exhausted its last bit of power and could no longer be used.

Alysander was forced out by the last power of the sun. Mabel regained her body, but before she could even cheer, she fell into a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of her spirit.

Alexandra's spirit, wrapped in six still-unrevived "finger bones" and four "fingers" that had been revived on Evangeline's body, hovered in the air.

Mabel's body was infused with too much solar power, leaving Alysander with no choice but to choose another body.

She chose Elisa.

Elisa struggled to control the "Fire Thief," manipulating the power she had just stolen to curb the expansion of the Soul Society cave, but she was powerless to dodge.

Simon stepped forward and blocked Elisa's path. Alexandra's spirit, carrying finger bones and fingers, entered his body.

"How can it be a man's body!" Alexandra frowned, speaking sharply in Simon's voice, "And only at level two!"

“Hehe, not bad either.” Alexandra turned around, crossed her arms, and looked at the panicked Elisa with Simon’s face.

She told Elisa, "Stop the 'Fire Stealer' now, return the power of the 'Soul Realm' to me, and then choose to steal his body. That will save him. Otherwise, you'll have to tell him your dying words."

Elisa looked at the cave, then at Simon's body, gritted her teeth, and the phantom of flames reappeared. She chose to stop "The Fire Stealer".

The light screen flashed, stopping her actions.

Simon's Adventure Log

"Explore the Area: Alysander's Resurrection Ritual"

"Exploration Team: Simon, Elisa, Mabel, Eleanor, Evangeline"

Simon used his useless body to trap Alysander, preventing her from using her powers.

"However, Alysander's rank is too high. His body is being assimilated by Alysander and transformed into a state capable of using the power of death."

"Simon needs your help. Shall we use the power of the [Fire Stealer] to steal Simon's future power and give it back to him in the present?"

Elisa hesitated; she had not yet fully mastered the ability to steal the power of the future.

If she uses it herself, she can only use it twice at most. If she gives it to someone else, the number of times will be even fewer, and the side effects will be more severe.

However, it should be fine if you only use it once.

She controlled the "Fire Stealer" and allocated a portion of its power to the light barrier.

"Simon and Alysander are vying for control of the body."

Although she only lent the power of the "Fire Thief" to the light screen and did not simultaneously control the artifact to use both abilities, Elisa still endured immense pressure.

She knelt on the ground, her forehead covered in sweat.

After catching her breath, she raised her head and looked up at the night sky through the hole above.

Thick fog shrouded the sky, obscuring the view, but everything would be over once the sun rose.

The blazing sun can dispel the thick fog, and the royal capital, isolated from the mortal world, will return to reality. The other demigods will come to the rescue, and Alysander—if she's not stupid—will definitely choose to leave.

But can they really hold out until sunrise?

“The one you are familiar with is the Mad King, me,” Alysand spoke through Simon’s body, starting with deliberate pauses and gradually becoming fluent. “Before the new dynasty was established, I had an even more resounding title, hehe, people called me the Goddess of Death.”

Elisa suddenly looked up.

In the new dynasty, the four gods disappeared, and extraordinary individuals of the angelic rank could bestow upon themselves divine titles.

But in the old dynasty, only true gods, or angel kings who had obtained the qualifications to become gods and were on the path to godhood, could receive the title of god.

What they are now obstructing is actually a real god?

No, that might also be a lie.

"Give up resistance, and I will not kill you, as long as you submit to my feet." Alexandra's words flowed smoothly as she regained control of Simon's body.

Simon needs your help. Would you like to use [Fire Stealer] again?

You can't use it anymore, you're only at level two!

"Simon's magic can withstand the backlash from the [Fire Stealer]."

Spells? The second-tier kind? As long as one has enough spiritual power, one can be invincible. The backlash from divine artifacts is also an enemy; it seems that's indeed possible...

Elisa hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out her mental energy and once again drew upon the power of the "Fire Stealer".

“It’s no use, he can only hold on until five o’clock at most,” Alexandra stammered again, looking at Elisa with pity. “The sun rises at sixty.”

Alexandra's prophecy was accurate. Elisa raised her trembling hand, took out her pocket watch, and at 5:15, Alexandra's words became fluent again.

“Fifteen minutes longer than I expected. His ability is very interesting.” Alexandra turned to look at Elisa. “Your method of using the ‘Fire Stealer’ is also interesting. How did you share your power with him? Do you have another artifact?”

Elisa did not answer, staring blankly at the light screen in front of her.

"Simon needs assistance. Should we use [Fire Stealer]?"

It's already over twice, I can't use it a third time, and neither can you!

If you use it, your "destiny" will collapse, your existence will disappear from the world, and ordinary people will even forget that you exist!

Simon is requesting assistance again. Shall we use [Fire Stealer]?

Alysander, controlling Simon's body, headed towards the cave in Soul Society. She had already assimilated a portion of the boy's body, and once she returned to Soul Society, she could regain her power. The entire Soul Society was part of her.

Alexandra walked very slowly; the boy's spirit was still struggling.

She turned to look at Elisa: "If I return to the Soul Realm, this boy will definitely be turned into a ghost. Moreover, Evangeline's power is not very effective against the Soul Worms, and their situation is also very dangerous. You still have a chance. Submit to me, and I will let you go."

Elisa hesitated again.

Simon believes that Alexandra is deceiving Miss Elisa, and she will not let anyone get away with it.

Elisa knew that Alysander could not be trusted, but it was still a glimmer of hope.

If the "Fire Stealers" are used a third time, they might survive, but the male servants will surely die.

She looked up at Alysander.

Simon disagrees with your choice and hopes you will use the power of the Firebringer.

Elisa ignored him; the male servant's body was already close to the cave in the Soul Society.

"Simon warns you, the resurrection ritual of the Mad Queen Alysander will devour the entire capital, and she will bring endless death to the continent."

What does this have to do with me!

"..."

"..."

"Professor Elisa, I have a backup plan, everything will be alright."

Elisa forced a smile. This light screen was indeed controlled by you!

"Don't worry, I'm not a liar, I don't lie. I just embezzled £13 from the Lighthouse's replenishment funds the day before yesterday, and I haven't even started spending it yet!"

You bastard, you've embezzled funds again!

Elisa gritted her teeth and chose to believe Simon. She diverted the power of the "Fire Stealer". Her vision blurred with black and white, and she almost fainted. Her spirit had reached its limit.

“You actually used it again…” Alexandra exclaimed in shock, “He can’t live. You’re so cruel.”

“He said he’s fine, he’s not like you!” Elisa glared at Alysand.

“Hehe.” Alexandra didn’t speak. Under Simon’s control and manipulation, she retreated, moving away from the Soul Society cave.

Alexandra looked up at the sky.

At 6:09, the first ray of sunlight shone on the thick fog in the capital, and the fog began to dissipate.

At 6:16, light and heat shone on the streets of the capital, the undead dissipated with the thick fog, and the capital returned to its former tranquility.

At 6:17, the "revival" ritual completely collapsed, the connection between the Soul Society and the human world was severed, the cave disappeared, leaving only a deep pit in its place.

At 6:18, sunlight shone through the pit into the ground and fell on Elisa's face.

Eleanor and Evangeline emerged from the spirit world. Evangeline's spirit form was almost transparent, while Eleanor was already in a deep sleep.

At 6:20, Elisa regained some strength, got up, and walked towards Simon's back, which was bathed in sunlight.

"You bastard, explain yourself about the light screen!" The blonde girl was extremely embarrassed and angry, and grabbed the male servant's shoulder.

She only managed to grab a shirt; Simon's body had vanished without a trace, as if erased by the world.

This is the consequence of repeatedly borrowing the power of the future, the price of overdrawing "fate." His past, present, and future have all vanished into fate.

Elisa stared blankly at the shirt in her hands. Alexandra hadn't lied to her; Simon had.

Mabel was awakened by a cry. She sat up in a daze. In the sunlight streaming down from the top of the pit, Elisa was holding a shirt and weeping loudly.

Chapter 91 "Simon's Message in a Bottle" (Seeking monthly votes!)

After the thick fog dissipated, the capital city re-established contact with the outside world. The royal garrison moved into the streets, and magnificent carriages carried high-ranking officials to the parliament building.

Newspapers, led by the "Sergei Nicholas," characterized the thick fog that had enveloped the city overnight as factory pollution, and the parliament quickly passed a bill to restrict pollution.

Some privately printed tabloids denied the official account, saying that the dead had returned last night and were wandering the streets.

Residents who had a peaceful night were more willing to believe the "Sergei Daily," but some families who heard knocking, the cries of deceased family members, or even opened their doors to find dead bodies attacking them, were more inclined to believe the tabloids.
