I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

"Even though I'm such a clumsy person—"

"How is it possible that we haven't made any progress in these three years?"

Even though he was trapped in the cage of light, he couldn't move his whole body at all.

But Gray did not give up struggling and resisting like she did three years ago when she fell into the muddy cliff.

Along with these words, the silver flames in Gray's eyes ignited again.

"Destiny..."

The girl's whisper was just like what she heard more than ten years ago in that hopeless frozen water town.

And along with that soft whisper, everything around——

Whether it was the crowd in the royal court that reacted and erupted in chaos, the clock hands jumping on the top of the clock tower, or the breeze blowing in the sky and the flowing clouds.

Everything was distorted and frozen in an instant.

It's like a film reel being replayed.

All the scenery, all the things, began to slowly flow against the current at an extremely strange pace.

The flow of time and fate was exactly the same as when Grey was trapped in a cycle of despair in Frozen Water Town many years ago.

Just, this time.

What she did was no longer to paralyze herself by deceiving herself and trap herself in an endless dream.

But, standing in front of Brother Rast...

Then, she personally found the most important man in her life and brought him back from the wrong path.

"I will find the original you..."

"Whatever the cost."

The girl's voice was sobbing, as if she was confiding in the most familiar stranger in front of her, or as if she was talking to herself.

"so--"

"It's time..."

"Let's go back."

Chapter 147 Little Grey, the game is over (7k)

(PS: My work and rest schedule and updates have been a bit chaotic these past two days, but I've adjusted now. I'll try to update more in the next few days to make up for the unstable updates in the past two days. This chapter is a 7,000-word chapter.)

The clear voice echoed throughout the square of the royal city, it was a chant that was as plaintive as a pouring out of one's heart.

And in the girl's soft moan, time stood still at this moment.

The pointer on the clock tower suddenly trembled, and then changed its trajectory, turning counterclockwise.

The tea in the cup went from steaming to boiling hot, and then quickly flowed back into the pot.

The flickering lights went from dim to bright, and then from bright to dark.

On the square, the place that was originally empty suddenly became filled with shadowy figures...

Interfere with time and control destiny.

This was an ability that Gray had used in Frozen Water Town ten years ago, before she joined the Shore Guardians and inherited the fire.

However, at that time, Grey was unable to consciously control the great power called "fate" that was entangled deep in her soul - it could only be unconsciously triggered when her life was in danger or her emotions were in turmoil.

She even deprived the people around her of their luck in exchange for the good fortune she had gathered, leading them to a tragic end... She became a witch who brought misfortune to those close to her, like a star from heaven.

Ultimately, Grey refused to accept the reality that Frozen Water Town had been destroyed, and she forced the entire town into an endless loop of the same day.

but--

Since the day I first met Brother Rast.

After making a choice with his own will, walking out of that illusory dream, and choosing to face the magnificent thing called "destiny" deep in his soul.

Every day and every night of the past ten years... Gray has been constantly diving into the depths of her own soul, trying to bring that elusive fate under her control.

With the will of a mortal, he attempted to challenge the majestic existence called destiny.

This is undoubtedly a stupid and arrogant decision.

In fact, in the first ten years, Grey's attempts did end in failure.

She is indeed the darling of fate, but this concept is closer to a "gift" rather than a power that can be truly understood by Gray.

Just as there are so-called "God's Favored Ones" in religious orders that believe in gods, the priests of the Church can also pray and use the power of gods as agents to perform divine arts.

However, it is ultimately just a divine power born out of prayer, a blessing bestowed by the gods out of pity for their believers.

However, if a person favored by God or a priest attempts to use this authority from God for their own benefit, then their status as a person favored by God will no longer exist, and the wrath of the true God will burn everything to dust.

Grey's previous attempts had always failed for similar reasons.

She should have continued like this, failing all the time...

Until the betrayal three years ago.

That rainy night, mixed with blood and muddy cliffs, took away everything from the girl.

This is a life goal I set because I joined the Shore Watchers and made a close friend like Janice.

Because of the reunion with brother Rust, because of the six months of happy life in the Watchtower... and the longing and expectation for the future of the two of them.

All of this was shattered and turned into nothingness in the torrential rain that night.

The bloodline connecting her to this world was severed once again, and the distance between her and the joys and sorrows of the world became very far away...

Everything seemed to have returned to the time before he met his brother Last.

The little girl, like a young animal, walked alone on the lightless wasteland, wandering among one wolf pack after another, but that was ultimately just a temporary habitat, not a home where she could settle down.

She once owned the whole world and was the happiest baby in the world...but all of this was taken back overnight, and Grey became a homeless ghost with nothing again, wandering outside the world.

Since I have nothing.

Then, apart from my life, I have nothing else to lose...

It was with this determination to die that Gray began her three-year training.

It doesn't seem like the three years of human beings, but more like the three years of evil spirits and Shura.

She thought she would die miserably in the devilish purgatory...but even Gray herself did not expect that she would persevere in the end.

After countless times on the verge of life and death, what he has been tempered and grown in is not only the fire inherited from the people of Shou'an, but also the power called destiny.

At this moment, the time reversal that could only be triggered unconsciously in despair in the past was finally controlled by Grey and became an ability that she could fully master.

Three years later—

The reason why Gray chose to stand in front of her brother Last again was her last trump card, which she had not even told Chief Cessel.

If I were to completely control my "fate" and master the ability to "rewind time"—

Then, I should be able to catch up with Brother Rast.

Maybe even fulfill the wish that you have been thinking about day and night.

If one attempt fails, then use the ability to go back in time to reset everything and try ten more times...

If you fail ten times, try a hundred times...

No matter how small the possibility of success is, no matter how weak your own strength is.

However, in hundreds and thousands of timelines, there must be a way to save Rust's brother from the wrong path.

It was because she regarded this belief as a lifeline and held it in her heart that Gray was able to persevere through the three years of training to become a Shura and even a demon.

……

Such a thought only flashed through Gray's mind.

The scenery around her was changing rapidly, and even the concept of time itself was no longer so illusory, but flowed past the girl like a trickle, and could be clearly perceived by Gray.

If time is compared to a long river flowing downstream, then at this moment the direction of this river of time has reversed, flowing upstream...

As the River of Time washed over her, the entire royal city was swept back along with it, leaving only Gray, a grain of sand and impurities that had never flowed upstream in the long river of time.

Gray felt the flow of time around her slowing down little by little, and the originally changing scenery gradually became clearer and audible.

It is still the square in the center of Paradise City.

However, compared to when Gray suddenly rose up after the holy sacrifice had been completed, there were many more people in the square at this moment.

This was the time point ten minutes ago.

The Holy Sacrifice has not yet officially begun, and the Holy Grail has not yet materialized.

Therefore, the dead in the square were naturally not used as sacrifices by the Holy Scripture and refined into part of the Holy Grail.

The people in the square just stared fanatically at the young man on the platform who was slowly walking out surrounded by his followers, waiting for the wise king of the underworld to announce the official start of the holy sacrifice.

In the previous timeline, Brother Last should have anticipated my landing point after teleporting and set a trap accordingly.

After all, there are only a few teleportation points on the platform next to Brother Last that can destroy the Holy Grail in the first place.

As for the fire I inherited from Chief Cessel, although the information is kept secret... But Chief Cessel said that this fire originated from the Tomb Keeper Organization. The legend of the Fertility Sequence named Noah told Brother Rast the corresponding information, so it is not difficult to understand.

In addition, Brother Laster's understanding of my character can only be described as knowing my inside and out.

No wonder, every move I made before was completely seen through by Brother Last, who even guessed my next move.

If we were to do the same as in the previous timeline and wait until the Holy Grail appeared to try to snatch and destroy it... I'm afraid we would just fall into the control of Brother Rast again and follow his rhythm.

In that case, let's just activate the backup plan.

On the contrary, it is no longer about allowing the Holy Sacrifice to be completed and then taking action after the Holy Grail appears... but to take action in advance, directly hindering the progress of the Holy Sacrifice and the birth of the Holy Grail.

Grey hid her petite figure in a gray cloak, her pretty face covered by the hood, and mingled with the crowd in the square. Combining her experiences in the timeline before the flashback, she quickly thought about her plan of action this time.

Soon, the pale silver light in her beautiful emerald green eyes flickered again.

"The original text of supernatural power, "collective subconscious interference""

"Sequence Original, "Psychic Demon Whisperer""

"Original Sequence, "Inner Demon: Mass Bewitching""

"Original Sequence, "Inner Demon, Soul Pollution""

"Original Sequence, "Inner Demon: Wide-Area Mental Suggestion""

……

In Gray's eyes, a faint flame was constantly flickering.

Every time the flame flickered, it meant that Gray had ignited the spark, and a volume of original equipment that could simulate sequences or supernatural powers was ready to be used.

The "Holy Grail" is the prototype of the Kingdom of God among the three elements of becoming a god, and is a symbol of the power of faith in reality.

And if——

He was able to deceive the people who participated in the holy sacrifice and taint their originally pure faith in Rast, the Wise King of the Underworld, and make the power of their faith tainted.

Then, the "Holy Grail", which is the crystallization of faith and the prototype of the Kingdom of God... will naturally be tainted by impure faith, and will be distorted due to pollution, losing its original function as one of the three elements of becoming a god.

This was the backup plan Gray had prepared in advance, to be used when she went back in time after failing to directly destroy the Holy Grail.

Starting with the people's faith, he destroyed the nature of the Holy Grail, turning it into the "Black Holy Grail" filled with filth and cursed.

certainly--

It causes chaos and unrest among the people, and pollutes the people's originally pure faith.

Such behavior sounds no different from that of a cultist.

And the simulations that Grey prepared for this purpose, which are able to interfere with the thoughts of a large number of people in a short period of time, corrupt and confuse the people... are basically all from the "Inner Demon" or "Shadow" sequence, which sounds very villainous.

However, at this moment, Grey naturally wouldn't care about her seemingly villainous behavior.

As long as I can save Brother Rast from his wrong path and fulfill the wish I long for day and night...

Not to mention that she looks like a villain, even if she really falls into the path of Shura and evil spirits, Gray will not hesitate at all.

"Just like the original sequence, activated."
