You are all my wings!

Margaret added, "I'm also worried about this. Logically speaking, we are just participants in the Trial of Ascension to Godhood, but this thing was secretly opened and brought in by Astalia. Now that the Goddess of Origin has appeared, it's also a question whether she will reseal the Ascension Steps."

Hamra didn't speak, but he was clearly aware of the problem.

The three women all looked at Lyon.

"Honey, I'll do whatever you say next."

Hamra said.

Leon shrugged and said, "Let's go find those who might have been teleported back first. As for how to leave, since there is a beginning, there must be an end. If there is a time rift at the starting point, there will most likely be a time rift at the ending point as well. We can't go back to the starting point, but we can find the ending point and operate at the moment the loop restarts."

The question is, when is the endpoint?

Margaret asked again.

"We still lack intelligence, but it certainly won't be that fast. Let's wait and see."

Lyon said.

Margaret joined midway through the process and still had many questions, so she kept asking them.

Lyon also had many details to confirm with her, so they talked about them in detail.

……

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

At this moment, Hamra and Bell, in their past lives, have already gone on an adventure in the Alado dungeon.

The few people in their future forms didn't need to go with them. They found an inn in the human capital to stay in temporarily, practicing magic while searching for people.

According to Bai Shaqilai, Helvie, Msifisu, Mouripe, and Kekeqi were also sent in by the Forest Apostles and may also be in this timeline.

In addition, Feherodija, Castiglione, Iris, Britta, Ophimaso, Camille, Magiru, Jiajiali, and Cynthia may also rise to the [Life and Death Rank] in the future and be drawn into this time and space.

Of course, considering that everyone's background and experience are different, Lyon judged that those who have been involved must be Florentiga and Castiglione.

Those most likely to be involved in the remaining time include Herwiz, Mouripe, Camille, and the amnesiac goddess of death, Jiajiali, as she is closely related to the Long Path of Life and Death.

Britta and Ophimaso are the next most likely candidates. They can fight opponents of higher ranks, but their ranks and experience levels are still somewhat lacking. The same applies to Iris and Maquill.

If you calculate it this way, there are quite a few people who could potentially be involved.

However, despite wanting to find someone, Lyon has spent most of his time in bed lately.

They were either being affectionate with Hamra or making love with Bai Shaqi Lai En, and afterwards they would quickly start training. All three of them were making rapid progress, advancing by leaps and bounds each day.

With only a short rest, they would spend the rest of their time flying around the capital, searching for suspected targets.

Margaret couldn't stand it anymore. Every time she passed by their room, even though there was soundproofing magic, she could still hear strange vibrations because of her high attribute.

She came to Leon several times to ask him when he was going to find someone.

To this, Lyon said, "Miss Margaret, have you forgotten what we went through in the tavern those seven days? I have a magical power surge disorder; the more I [do something], the stronger I and my [someone] become. Finding someone is important now, but becoming stronger can't stop! Otherwise, what will we do if we don't have the power to break free from this cycle one day?"

Margaret had nothing to say about this.

Because she did indeed sense that the three of them were rapidly improving their strength.

Lyon, in particular, has made remarkable progress thanks to the support of the high-dimensional carrying mode.

Simply put, this mode is a super-enhanced version of the deep load mode.

When combined with the other seven modes, its effect is roughly equivalent to twelve or thirteen times that of the Sacred Mural.

With his strength increased by two times out of thin air, his comprehension of the mysteries became much faster.

Thanks to this, he successfully entered the third time-related mystery, [Condensation of Space], and his progress was rapid, already reaching about 70-80% of the level.

If we continue at the same pace for another six months, we should be able to advance to the sixth rank.

Of course, if he hadn't learned ice magic from Taiyamishi, he could have broken through to the sixth rank long ago.

But he wasn't in a hurry, because the more secrets he comprehended, the more he would gain from the Sea of ​​Knowledge when he advanced, and he was still lacking a powerful eighth-tier water-type secret treasure.

Moreover, he began to consider whether, now that he had comprehended so many mysteries, he should find four epic-level treasures and use interference and deception to combine them into a powerful four-element treasure for this advancement.

In this way, the level of this treasure will be elevated even further, and the improvement in its rank will be even greater.

He has already consulted the oracle about its feasibility, and it is feasible.

As long as you learn the Fire, Earth, and Wind elements to Epic level at the same time, even without Arcane filling, with Ice as the leading element, it will be enough for you to complete this unprecedented advancement.

With this in mind, when he was slightly stuck in comprehending the mysteries, he would also take the opportunity to explore the wind, earth, and fire magic he had learned from the Holy Land.

Fire element has been successfully upgraded to epic level. It hasn't reached perfect control yet, but it has about 90% control.

As for the wind and earth elements, they have just reached the seventh level, which means they can cast spells by chanting, but they cannot yet cast spells without chanting.

As a result, the completion rate of his final conquest mission also increased significantly.

[The second phase of the Endgame strategy is currently 78% complete.]

This task has no mid-game rewards, so you can't get attribute boosts.

In addition, thanks to the in-depth teaching and exchanges between Leon and Baisaqilai over the past few days, she has been in a deep-seated fate-seeking mode, and combined with the accumulation of the past hundred years, her understanding of miracle astrology is also rapidly improving.

In particular, Lyon's current miracle divination skills have been supplemented by higher-level divination skills, as well as by knowledge clouds that have been triggered multiple times, and by his in-depth understanding of material miracles in the [Investigation of Things] stage, his attainments are already very high.

His guidance to Bai Shaqilai was incredibly insightful and profound, greatly benefiting her and allowing his essence to deeply permeate her mind and body.

After each lesson, the two were very hungry, so Leon would cook for her, treating her to various grilled skewers, sausages, and snakes.

As a result, the favorability ratings and the number of tasks have increased significantly in the past two weeks.

[Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability +4%, current favorability 127%]

[The villain Bai Shaqilai's hidden main quest "Prophecy and the Prophet" has been completed at +30%, currently at 70% completion.]

[Mid-term rewards available: Fate Gain +50, Magic Power +25, Spirit Power +25]

【主要属性：窥命力135/神圣能量容纳量22/精神力214/生命力187/魔力量630/体力249/力量227/敏捷257】

On the day her magic surged, Margaret happened to be there as well. She witnessed once again the chaotic scene of Bai Shaqilai and Hamra scrambling to grab the w, and speechlessly slammed the door to go into seclusion for training.

Lyon's spiritual power and magic power have also reached a new peak.

His pure magic power has reached the level of a demigod, even surpassing most short-lived demigods and comparable to long-lived demigods.

In addition, when Lyon took a break to check the mission progress, he discovered that Therena, whom he hadn't seen for quite some time, was also quietly advancing her various magical researches, and the mission progress was still silently increasing.

[The hidden quest "The Fall of the Archmage" for Terena: Completion +5%, current completion rate 45%]

[Therena's main quest "The Ancestor of New Magic" completion rate +10%, current completion rate 40%]

You'll be able to claim your mid-term rewards soon.

Furthermore, by combining Treina's mission progress with the time spent talking to M'shiruna in the [Stairway to Godhood], Leon also calculated how much time he and his companions had spent in the Stairway to Godhood.

Two days have passed since he entered the [Stairway to Life and Death].

Including the initial consumption during the [Advanced Stage of Divinity], Astalia only has four days left to activate the seven-day Advanced Stage of Divinity.

This also shows that although this place is a time loop, it also has a relative time with the [Life and Death Long Staircase].

That is, more than 20 years have passed in the time loop, and two days have also passed in the [Long Steps of Life and Death].

If you are unable to return to the [Stairway to Life and Death] after the remaining 40 years, and miss the duration of Astalia's maintenance, you may be completely trapped here, which is also very likely.

Coincidentally, 40 years later, it was also the time when Lyon's other identity, 'Bale', completely disappeared.

After that, Hamra from the original timeline would take the then six or seven-year-old Elizabeth with him and travel the world in search of Leon. Then, when Elizabeth was a teenager, he would bring her back to the Holy Land and disappear from then on.

Upon realizing this outcome, two words came to mind for Lyon: destiny.

It seems that after all the twists and turns, we still have to face this issue.

Perhaps M'shiluna didn't completely lie to him back then; there was a destiny to overcome here as well.

However, due to the interference of M'shiruna and the watchful gaze of the Goddess of Origin, this life-or-death reversal has become complicated.

So, did M'shiruna anticipate that she would be captured again by the Goddess of Origin during her escape plan?

Lyon pondered, consulted divination, and deliberated repeatedly regarding this issue.

During daily breaks, I continuously utilize the upgraded Miracle Divination and Miracle Catcher skills, combined with several modes, to search for answers.

On that same day, after finishing the event with Hamra and Baishaqilai.

With the help of the newly activated high-dimensional carrying mode and deep-depth fate-seeking mode, Leon finally grasped the whole situation. As if lightning flashed through his mind, he thought of a situation that he had overlooked!

"The key to breaking this deadlock lies with M'shiruna! We must find her again!"

Lyon, with his left arm around Hamra and his right leg draped over Baisaqilai, suddenly leaped up from the bed, his eyes gleaming with unprecedented brilliance.

"The key is, she's already been taken back by the Goddess of Origin, so where are we supposed to find her? Is she on the Sacred Tree?"

Bai Shaqilai covered her snow-white chest with the bed sheet and sat up as well.

"No, there is another place where her plans may lie."

"where?"

Bai Shaqilai was surprised.

"You mean, your sister anticipated this situation?"

Hamra took out a handkerchief and gently wiped between her legs, her face full of doubt.

Lyon laughed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there's one place where you can definitely find her."

Where is that?

"Just follow me, hurry up and get dressed!"

Chapter 453 Unveiling the Secret

Half a day later.

In front of a wide, densely forested valley.

"This is... the heartland of the halflings?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Hamra's eyes.

“That’s right. If my calculations are correct, we can definitely find M’shiruna’s backup plan among the halflings.”

Lyon's gaze swept across the area.

The four people flew high up, looking down into the distance.

"Honey, are you looking for something, not a person?"

Bai Shaqilai noticed Lyon's gaze.

"Just take a look; it's impossible for it to be hidden that shallowly."

Lyon said.

The four people flew high up, looking down at each other.

As you can see, there is a huge tribe of halflings deep in the valley, living together in a relatively primitive way.

Throughout the valley, half-humans engage in hunting, weaving, or gathering, employing rather primitive methods of production.

However, compared to their production methods, their combat strength is quite good; they all have agility talents and can run very fast.

Halflings are different from dwarves. Dwarves are generally stocky, with red noses, thick beards, and rough skin. Their average appearance is among the worst on the continent, and only a few dwarves can exceed the racial limitations.

Halflings are generally slender and well-proportioned, with an average adult height between 1.2 and 1.4 meters.

M'shifisu is already considered to be on the taller side among halflings, almost 1.5 meters tall.

Moreover, halflings generally have good skin. Although their lifespan is only half that of humans, they are very resistant to aging and are closer to the aesthetics of humans and elves.

In other words, this is a race that is generally composed of loli and shota, and as a result, halflings have always sold well in the slave industry.

Therefore, aside from the ruling class, the common people of the halfling race generally harbored hostility towards other races, which is why their social atmosphere was relatively closed.

Hamra, naturally most familiar with this situation, asked:

"So, are we just going to go in and look for them like this? Or should we disguise ourselves?"

"We don't have any shapeshifting magic, so how are we supposed to disguise ourselves?"
