Are you worthy of saving the world?

"You are very happy, hero."

The black evil spirit's words once again echoed in Yuri's mind like a prophecy.

"The so-called 'brave journey' is nothing more than a trip with a woman. How shameful."

"I don't feel any qualities of a hero in you. Is all you can do about clinging to women?

Being protected by a woman, enjoying her admiration, accepting her kindness...

You must be very satisfied to feel that you can easily manipulate a woman who is much stronger than you. "

“…………I’m going to kill you!!!”

Yuri drew out the "Azure Queen" and slashed at the lich.

However, faced with this overly direct and unskilled attack, the lich dodged it easily.

"Don't be too sad, brave man. I will complete your mission and defeat the Demon King on your behalf... After all, I will become the only God in this world."

The lich Leoric raised a bony finger and pointed at the elven queen behind Yuli.

"Rather than arguing with me here, why not go and say goodbye to the princess? It's already the last minute."

"!"

"I left behind a last bit of divinity so that she could linger on... You young people should say your final goodbyes, but don't waste my good intentions."

After saying this, the lich Leoric began to slowly retreat backwards - it was retreating.

The divine core taken from the princess cannot be absorbed directly, and it will take some time to slowly digest it.

If possible, the lich does not want to fight with a hero whose head is filled with anger.

"........."

Hunt or rescue.

In the ultimate choice between the two, Yuri finally ran towards Celestia.

"Ceres! Ceres! Ceres!"

Yuri hugged the Elf Queen's body tightly and held her in his arms.

"Ceres!"

"...I can hear you, my hero."

Celestia, nestled in the boy’s arms, forced a smile.

Her features were as beautiful as ever, yet weaker than ever before.

"The divine core has been taken away, and the divinity has been exhausted... Ah, so I didn't defeat it before. I underestimated the enemy. I'm sorry..."

"Stop it, Celeste!"

Even at the last moment, she was still calmly apologizing - which made Yuli feel desperate.

"Master Brave... No, Master Yuri... Please let me call you by that title... Actually, I've always wanted to call you by that title, hehe."

"Sorry... I think I have come to an end. I can't accompany you to the Demon King's Castle..."

"It won't stop here! I will save you!"

Yuri began to perform the healing.

The first thing that comes to mind is "The Savior's Healing".

But when I was halfway through using it, I suddenly remembered that I had used this inherent skill on Celestia a few days ago... and it no longer worked.

Then, he began to use "Medium Healing".

"It's useless... already... my own body, I know it best..."

The Elf Queen coughed up a mouthful of blood, stroked Yuli's cheek, and showed a happy expression.

"I'm so happy... Lord Yuri actually worked so hard for me... I know I shouldn't think like this, but I still can't help but feel happy in my heart..."

"I am... a bad woman... This must be the punishment from the goddess... Because I am a bad woman who is two-faced..."

"That's not the case!" Yuri said loudly.

The Elf Queen blinked her eyes with difficulty: "Ah... This is bad... In the real world, I died in Rosalia's house... And the Son of God was also there..."

"Grantia won't give up, maybe it will turn into a war between humans and elves... No, even that child wouldn't be so willful..."

"Elutia... That child will definitely become an excellent queen..."

"Hiltia... Lord Yuri, I hope you can comfort her..."

The Elf Queen talked about her daughters as if she was making arrangements for her funeral.

"You won't die! Celes!"

Yuri held onto her body tightly. "This is a minor injury... you can recover after a night's rest in a hotel! Stop saying nonsense!"

"That's enough of these comforting words... I don't want to hear... lies... So, listen to me..."

"Ceres?"

"Ever since I met Yuri... I have always been very happy..."

Celestia made a trembling sound.

"The days before were always unchanging. I spent two thousand years in a daze..."

"But after meeting Lord Yuri... every day is a new day..."

"It's like a dream... hehe..."

"Thank you for letting me experience love, Lord Yuri..."

"So... already, there are no regrets."

"Cheer up! How can you not have any regrets? Celes! Don't you still have a lot of things you want to do?"

Yuri continued to perform healing spells, and did not stop even though there was no effect.

"What do you want to do, huh..."

Celestia slowly closed her eyes and smiled softly.

"The only things left that I really want to do are the things that I will never be able to do..."

"Ceres?"

The Elf Queen vomited blood and her cheeks turned red.

"What's left is... what I want to do is... to get pregnant with the boy I like..."

"Huhu... not using elven blood and fairy magic... but giving birth to life like a woman..."

"That's all... To be honest, I'm a little jealous of Rosa..."

"........."

Yuli was speechless.

"So...if reincarnation is really possible, I hope I can be reincarnated as a human girl in my next life..."

Celestia sighed softly and told a dream that was impossible to realize.

In the world of "Goddess Apocalypse", there is no such thing as reincarnation for elves, let alone reincarnation as humans.

So what she said was nothing more than the foolish talk of a dying girl.

"Because it is impossible to achieve, I gave up... I am satisfied..."

Celestia raised her face with difficulty for the last time.

Her cheeks were lightly flushed.

"I am very happy now... Although I know it's too much to say this, I am very happy to die in Lord Yuri's arms..."

"Even though it's very... very... very regretful, I'm also very happy..."

"Because then..."

Queen Celestia——

I don't know when, but tears welled up in those beautiful eyes.

"Rosa can never defeat me again... I will always be remembered in Lord Yuri's heart..."

"I'm sorry... I'm such a mean, selfish woman..."

"Don't say that! I will never forget you! Don't leave me!" Yuli screamed.

"Well, thank you... Lord Yuri..."

Celestia's breathing became so weak that it was almost unnoticeable.

"It seems that the time has come..."

“How could it be—” The Son of Prophecy tightly grasped the Elf Queen’s hand.

"Master Yuri... go meet Rosa... you two need to leave the singularity together..."

All the weakness and confusion she had felt up to that point disappeared, and the beautiful face of the Eternal Queen revealed a solemn expression.

"Forget what happened today and don't try to avenge me... He is no longer an enemy you can handle..."

"After you get out, make Rosa happy... Oh, and remember to tell her for me..."

"Let her continue to be happy along with me..."

"If you give birth to a daughter...just name her Tia..."

"Yes, yes, finally..."

Celestia took a deep breath, probably her last breath in her long life.

"As expected, I still like you the most, Lord Yuri...?"

After saying this true word shyly,

The elven demigod who had ruled the Holy Land for more than a thousand years and was known as the greatest queen in the history of the Holy Tree Kingdom, the "Eternal Queen" Celestia closed her eyes.

Just like that, life activities ceased forever.
