But Lu Ye was not afraid at all. He walked inside the body of the Elden Beast, slowly turning the hilt of his sword. The blade of Bai Lei spun like a sun and moon.
At that moment, A-Tui's eyes showed confusion.
She hadn't forgotten why she came here, but she always felt an emptiness in her heart, as if she had forgotten someone...
Five seconds later, the confusion in her eyes vanished instantly.
Yes, Lu Ye, she remembered.
He agreed to Melina's request and would take her to the foot of the Golden Tree.
The reason she agreed to Melina's request was the fragrant taiyaki in Lu Ye and the other two's backpacks.
Lu Ye pierced through the nebula's explosion, his heavy blade flashing like a tidal wave of light.
The head of the Beast of Elden was instantly split open, but it was still alive. Its wings emitted a soaring golden light, making the entire space shine.
But it's over.
The nebula-like path behind them had already touched the stone slabs. The power of the Primal Life Furnace had mixed into the Golden Law, like water added to a car's fuel tank. The system constructed by the Golden Law collapsed instantly under its influence, the form of the Beast of Elden gradually disappeared, and several of the golden trees in the distance began to crumble...
"We did it, Amei! We did it!!"
A-Tui excitedly hugged Melina, their faces pressed tightly together, their cheeks becoming round like pancakes, but they looked rather cute.
Melina, unusually, didn't put on a poker face. On this celebratory occasion, she patiently let A-Tui be.
"Yes, we succeeded, but we're stuck here."
At that moment, Marika walked over to them.
Although she really didn't want to upset A-Tui, she had to tell him the truth.
Lu Ye, who had rushed over, also heard it.
In fact, the golden light emitted by the Beast of Elden at the end was intended to fix and destroy this space. In other words, it did not want a new law to be born. As a beast, it also had its own feelings. It couldn't swallow the insult of being broken into and beaten up, and the assailant even tried to transform its lair into the form of other laws.
Lu Ye tried to contact Nymph, but received no response.
It seems this space is truly completely sealed off.
A-Tu was dumbfounded.
Although she understood the reasoning, there was one thing she just couldn't understand.
"Wait a minute, so if that's the case, the Twofingers were hoping for a Faded One to repair the Ring. Although we're a bit special, if it were any other Faded One who wanted to maintain the Golden Tree's rule and defeated Rdagan and that big black monster, wouldn't they also be imprisoned here and killed by it?"
“It wouldn’t normally have possessed such a mind,” Marika said. “Perhaps it was that magical fragment that did the trick?”
As soon as Marika said that, Lu Ye understood instantly.
The fragments that fell into the Golden Tree are "connections," establishing a link with the Supreme Will, which is why He can influence the borderlands through the power of the Golden Tree.
If that's the case, then things are much easier.
All that's needed is to utilize the other fragment, the one Marika obtained.
Its function is "separation." Marika used this opportunity to separate her soul from her body, and was later able to come to Ame's side by residing in the Soul-Summoning Bell.
So Lu Ye immediately turned to the side and began to work, concentrating intently and ignoring everything else.
"What should we do then..." A-Tui was a little confused.
Beneath the veil, her eyes glanced at Lu Ye.
Although he didn't understand what he was doing, A-Tui thought that if Melina and Marika weren't there, then as his last request before dying, he might be able to ask Lu Ye for love, and then the two of them could experience A-Tui's first and last experience in his life.
No, at this point, shouldn't we stop trying to save face?
Since everyone's going to die anyway, isn't it a good idea to do what you want to do?
If all else fails, go to a free-for-all...
A-Tui's mind was filled with wild thoughts.
"Isn't there any other way?" Melina asked.
“There is a way,” Marika said. “After Radagan was defeated, the Beast of Elden appeared. It took us to another space in its own way, and used its last strength to fix this space that should have disappeared with its demise, and then destroyed it in order to eliminate us.”
"So... all we need to do is open the space in the opposite direction?" Melina understood. "Can you do that?"
"Yes, I am the one who understands the Golden Law system best. Although the Golden Law no longer exists, the Beast of Elden should still follow this method when constructing space."
"Let's get started without delay!" Hearing this, A-Tui's hope was rekindled.
"That's natural."
Marika began to prepare, sketching golden runes in the black tide, but Melina frowned as she watched Marika's actions.
“When I came here, I sensed that there was a passage between this space and the previous space. In other words, if we want to go back, we have to go through the passage. In this process, someone has to be here to keep the passage between the two spaces stable. After all, the Golden Law is gone, and you can't exert much power anyway.”
"Is that so...?" A-Mei looked at Marika with some surprise.
Melina meant that to get out of here, someone had to stay here to support the space and open the passage.
And this person is Marika.
This means that Marika will die.
“It’s alright, I was already dead anyway, and my long-cherished wish has already been fulfilled,” Marika said with a smile.
She had a beautiful smile, which made Ah Tui a little stunned.
"But……"
“There are no buts,” Marika said. “I am a sinner. Everything I said before was a lie. I cannot rebuild my physical body, and I can hardly find a replacement. Think of that girl Lani. If she could do that, why would she use a doll as her body? I noticed that you always wanted to preserve the movement of the bionic teardrop, so I lied to you.”
"Really...is there really no other way?" A-Tui felt he was being dramatic, but he was still unwilling to give up. "Is there really no container that can hold you?!"
Marika is a good person.
Although it has also led to many negative situations.
However, she became the Eternal Queen for the sake of the Borderlands, and the Borderlands did indeed prosper for a time until Marika discovered the truth behind the Golden Tree and smashed the Ring of Law.
If I had to point out her only flaw...
That is, she never really cared about her children.
As outsiders, it's impossible to tell whether this mother loves her child.
“Yes, there is,” Marika said.
"Eh?"
“Remember at the Church of Ellie? You fainted in the fire because I entered your body. I originally wanted to return to the Soul Bell, but you suddenly moved. I shouldn’t have been able to enter, because your body shouldn’t be able to hold my soul… Anyway, I want to thank you all for your help… This may be my last chance to atone.”
Ah Tui's eyes were filled with tears.
The black tide began to rise gradually.
“It’s time to say goodbye…” Melina took A-Tu’s hand, then looked at Marika and bowed slightly. “Goodbye, Mother.”
Just then, Lu Ye's voice rang out.
"Hey! What are you doing? Stop playing that hand-holding game! Get out of here!"
Before anyone knew it, a teleportation array had appeared next to Lu Ye.
Although he couldn't contact Nymph, he was able to contact the Dog Manager. Under Xiaobai's guidance, he finally used the power of the fragments to separate this space from the original world, thus establishing contact with Nymph.
The transport machine is ready.
Now we're just waiting for the passengers to board!
Chapter 697 The Age of Stars
A moment later, everyone stood inside the teleportation array.
As Lu Ye looked at the two fragments in his hand, thinking that the matter was finally resolved, Nymph successfully teleported everyone out using the teleportation machine.
The group returned to the square where the throne of Elden stood. The figure of the king, Griffith, had vanished into thin air, just like Montgomery.
While Yakir and Smarag acted very aloof, saying things like, "Why is it taking so long? If it were me, I would have finished by now," their tails were wagging wildly behind them.
The battle for the royal city of Rodel had ended not long ago, because the Golden Tree collapsed the instant the Golden Law was destroyed. The Golden Law no longer existed at the border, and the soldiers of the royal city had no reason to continue fighting. Whether they were allied forces or warriors defending the royal city, they all stopped fighting at the moment the Golden Tree collapsed, raising their heads to witness this historic moment, their eyes reflecting the magnificent instant when the fiery red tree turned to ashes.
“Well then, this is just the final matter,” Yakiel said. “Hurry up, we’ll be waiting for you here.”
Melina and Luye Atie turned to look at the golden tree.
The location of the tree roots has not completely collapsed, and there is still time to fulfill the previous agreement.
The laws of night and stars will bring freedom to the borderlands.
This was the result Marika arrived at after careful consideration.
She was annoyed that she had been too arrogant, thinking that by becoming the spokesperson for the Golden Law and the container of the Elden Ring, she could bring prosperity to the Borderlands.
But for this land to truly prosper, it should rely on the efforts of the creatures on it, not on the power of external gods. While mortals cannot fathom the will of external gods, they certainly won't help you achieve prosperity for no reason...
The group climbed the steps and arrived at the circular space where they had been before.
Marika's body was still there, not in the form of Radagan, but in Marika's own form. Her body was broken, and the magic ring had disappeared. The moment Lu Ye activated the power of the stone tablet, the foundation of the Golden Law was also completely destroyed.
Just as A-Tui was feeling somewhat emotional, a sound suddenly came from ahead.
"My darling daughter... whew... it's been so long!"
"Mommy, don't hug me so tight... Ugh, the doll's body is going to break, the lubricant in the joints is going to be squeezed out..."
In front of the crowd, a figure wearing a snow-white witch's hat was being held high in the arms of a large woman dressed in a black and red magician's robe.
Yes, it's Princess Lani of the Moon and her mother, Queen Renara of the Full Moon.
The reunion of mother and daughter was incredibly touching... Although that's what they said, Lu Ye seemed to notice that Lani's arms were already somewhat asymmetrical, and if they were to be moved any further, they would fall off.
“When you used Dark Moon in the sky just now, I couldn’t believe it was you. You truly are my daughter… You found the law so quickly.”
"Hey, aren't you going to go and talk to them?"
Lu Ye nudged Marika with his elbow. She was still inside the bionic teardrop's body and could act alone for two or three days.
"Why should I go up and talk to a mother and daughter when they meet?" Marika asked curiously.
"In a sense, you're practically Lani's father, aren't you..."
