Chapter 514 Scarlet Cherry Blossom: 7 Great Fairies, Great Power, How Can We Lose?!
Chapter 514 Scarlet Cherry Blossom: 7 Great Fairies, Great Power, How Can We Lose?!
The crystal crown floated quietly in Tao Yao's palm.
The crystal, reflecting the eternal radiance within the temple, exudes a majesty that transcends time and space.
The End and Eternity: the two supreme fairies, upon seeing this crown, seemed to have their actions, thoughts, and even their entire existence paused.
Time seemed to stand still for them.
Those dark golden eyes and those clear, starry eyes had both lost their usual logic and calmness.
An unprecedented, almost fiery emotion erupted from the very source of their existence, instantly engulfing them entirely.
That wasn't just simple surprise, nor was it curiosity.
Rather, it was a violent emotional storm mixed with endless longing, fervent worship, and the joy of regaining what was lost.
"The beginning..."
Zhong Mo spoke first, but her voice was no longer the usual perfectly rational and straightforward one; instead, it carried a barely perceptible, intense tremor.
"Are you... going to completely inherit the goddess's divine authority?"
Eternity remained silent.
But her slightly forward-leaning body and her eyes, fixed on the divine crown and unable to look away, said it all.
They have always missed their mother, the goddess, who created them and then quietly passed away over the endless years.
That is why they instinctively and unreservedly become close to Tao Yao, who is a primordial fairy.
Because they know better than anyone else.
The primordial authority is the starting point of all fairy authority and the authority closest to the core of the goddess; it is the key to the goddess's existence.
They had a vague premonition long ago.
Sooner or later, Tao Yao would reach this point, and sooner or later she would touch that supreme realm that they both longed for and feared.
They just didn't expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.
Facing the two fairies' almost meltingly fervent gazes, Tao Yao's gentle smile remained unchanged.
She remained as relaxed and unhurried as ever, as if she had everything under control.
"I found this crown in the goddess's old room."
Her response was gentle and calm, as if she were stating something trivial.
"Perhaps this is the symbol of the goddess as a deity. Wearing it, I will definitely be one step closer to becoming a goddess."
She paused, then changed the subject, her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowing slightly, carrying a hint of something indescribable.
"But at the same time, it also means that I will take on the responsibility of being a goddess."
"Experience everything that the goddess has gone through in your eyes."
"Whether it's the wear and tear or the betrayal you mentioned before, I think... these are things that must be experienced."
responsibility.
Wear and tear.
betray.
These few cold words, like a bucket of ice water poured over one's head, instantly cooled down the fervent emotions about the end and eternity.
They fell silent.
Inside the temple, deathly silence returned once more.
The two supreme fairies certainly knew what Tao Yao was talking about.
The goddess is naturally powerful, powerful enough to create the world and set the rules.
Even such a powerful goddess has now fallen.
To take on the responsibilities of a goddess naturally means embarking on a path that is destined to be lonely and will eventually come to an end.
We must face the passage of time that can erase everything, and endure the betrayal from those closest to us.
Tao Yao looked at their silent reaction, her smile unchanged.
She simply uttered the next sentence.
"I've thought about it for a long time."
"In the end, I still felt I should wear it."
Tao Yao spoke very frankly, as if she were simply deciding what to have for dinner.
She only talked about the crown.
She made no mention of the other item found in that secret chamber along with the crown—the ring that symbolized an eternal covenant.
Based on her understanding of the two children.
Once the ring is exposed...
A war over "who can make a pact with the Primal One" is bound to break out immediately.
The scene at that time will probably be even more difficult to handle than the previous bowl of soup.
After a long silence.
Eternity finally spoke again.
Her voice regained some of its coolness, but beneath that coolness lay an unprecedented, icy resolve.
"Put it on."
She looked at Tao Yao and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"No matter what price we ultimately have to pay, no matter whether the road ahead is eternal light or endless darkness."
"I will always be by your side."
"Until the end of time."
This is her promise.
It is the most solemn vow made by the eternal fairy to the primordial being.
"Humph."
The End, standing to the side, let out a cold snort that was of unclear meaning.
She stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Eternity, her eyes once again burning with a domineering flame.
"That's nice to say."
She made a blunt assessment before turning her gaze to Tao Yao and speaking in an unquestionable, declarative tone.
"No need to bother."
"In the beginning, you only needed to do what you wanted to do."
"Anything that tries to stop you, whether it's a traitor or so-called fate."
"I will completely destroy them all."
"Leave no one behind."
This is a promise made at the very end.
Simple, brutal, and filled with absolute power to destroy everything.
Looking at her now, standing on the high platform, listening to the oath of End and Eternity that almost staked their own existence, Tao Yao's smile deepened.
"Although I'm happy to hear you say that."
"But I still think it's fine to just do it the way it was before, there's no need to make it so deliberate."
With these gentle words, she slowly raised her hand and lifted the quietly floating crystal crown above her head.
There was no chanting.
There was no ceremony.
She simply and casually put it on.
The moment the crown touched her hair.
hum-
At this moment, all the eternal and inextinguishable lights in the entire temple of the goddess dimmed.
It wasn't extinguished, but rather forcibly pulled away by an irresistible supreme gravitational force, transforming into billions of streams of light that surged wildly towards the highest point of the temple, towards that seemingly ordinary crown.
On the towering pillars of the temple, the ancient patterns depicting creation myths are lit up one by one.
Above the dome, the magnificent murals that record the rise and fall of civilizations seem to come alive, with countless gods and giant beasts in the paintings all casting awe-inspiring glances in the same direction.
The entire divine kingdom, the entire primordial land, all of time and space, fell into absolute stillness at this moment.
An indescribable, otherworldly majesty descended.
The End and Eternity, these two beings born at the beginning of the world and standing at the pinnacle of all fairies, their bodies reacted uncontrollably to their most instinctive reactions.
They knelt on one knee and lowered their proud heads.
It is not out of command, but from the deepest part of the soul, an absolute submission to the "original creator".
On the high platform, Tao Yao's figure appeared somewhat blurry amidst the interplay of light and shadow.
Her appearance remained unchanged, as did her clothing.
But her existence brought about a dramatic change.
If she was the origin, the starting point for all fairies.
So now, she is a god.
It is the one that sets the rules and governs all things.
The light slowly receded, returning to the crown, and the temple regained its former brightness.
Tao Yao was still the same Tao Yao, standing languidly before the throne, as if the world-shattering scene just now had nothing to do with her.
She looked down at the two children kneeling at the bottom of the steps, her beautiful peach blossom eyes curving slightly.
"All right."
"Now that the ceremony is over, let's get down to business."
She stretched out her finger and pointed to the cold white stone throne next to her, then pointed to the solemn and majestic pillars around her.
"About the renovation."
"..."
"..."
The End and Eternity slowly raised their heads, and at this moment, their core logic experienced a brief malfunction.
furnish?
Although Tao Yao has already brought this up.
But having just completed the transfer of divine authority and inherited the status of a goddess,
The first thing to do is surprisingly to renovate...
It still feels a bit strange.
"The beginning".
Finally, she spoke first, and after her logic module worked at high speed, it gave the most reasonable explanation.
"The architectural style here symbolizes supreme divine authority and absolute order. Any alteration could affect the stability of the divine kingdom."
"But it's too deserted here."
Yongheng also spoke up, but her focus was clearly different.
"Originally, I liked lively places, but this place should be warmer."
Tao Yao nodded in satisfaction, and in an unquestionable tone, she issued her first decree after becoming a god.
"I made a decision."
"The wall color is too monotonous. Change it all to warm colors, preferably with a touch of pink."
"Also, that open space over there can be converted into a game room."
"Ok, deal."
Listen to the original arrangement.
The two fairies looked at each other in bewilderment.
This……
Isn't that a bit too casual?
……
at the same time.
Manju Academy, the rooftop reception room of the central teaching building.
A meeting that will determine the future direction of the world has just concluded.
Hiyori sat on the sofa, her eyes sparkling as she scanned everyone in the room, muttering to herself.
She first pointed to herself.
"One fairy, two powers!"
Then, her fingers traced the violets, the jasmine, and the ever-quiet forget-me-not in turn.
"Two, three, four fairies!"
Her gaze fell again on the flower bud in the corner, being fed snacks by the coral.
"Five fairies, the Twin Flowers of Life and Death, and that annoying shadow... that makes seven powers!"
Finally, her gaze settled on the two new allies with whom she had just formed a partnership.
Coral, the singer of the sea, and Hilo, the fairy of joy.
"Six, seven fairies!"
Hiyori jumped up from the sofa, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.
"Good heavens! Have you counted? There are seven goblins here, a total of ten powers!"
She waved her arms excitedly, as if she could already see the dawn of victory.
"If we encounter the apocalypse again, with so many of us attacking together, the advantage will definitely be ours!"
Her words ignited a passion in everyone present.
Right now.
This small reception room is home to some of the world's most elite combat forces.
Apart from a few non-fairy members like Little White Lotus and Laurel, the rest included almost all the known fairies who stood on their side.
Hizakura herself wields two great powers: the Flame Flower, symbolizing hope and new life, and the Wind Flower, symbolizing freedom and change.
Jasmine, as the master of all machines, wields mechanical flowers that represent the creativity and order of human civilization.
The violet, her thunder flower, is the embodiment of divine punishment, symbolizing judgment and majesty.
The younger bud, however, bears the most complex power. Not only does it control the twin flowers of life and death, which represent opposites yet one unity, but by chance, it also allows the dangerous shadow fairy to reside within it, enabling it to utilize the corrupted poison flower.
Forget-me-not, this old-school snow fairy, her snow flowers possess absolute zero, capable of freezing everything.
The ability of Hilo, who just joined, to possess the Flower of Pleasure remains a mystery, but everyone has witnessed its strangeness and power firsthand.
Not to mention Coral, the guardian of the sea kingdom, whose Sea Flower possesses an unfathomable and immense power, as deep as the ocean itself.
Seven fairies, ten powers.
Such a luxurious lineup, just looking at it gives people an unprecedented sense of security and pride.
Sakura looked around at her companions, her heart brimming with boundless pride.
"to be honest."
"As long as we all work together..."
She looked at everyone and declared in an extremely confident tone.
"I really can't imagine what would happen if we really encountered the end of the world with this lineup."
How to lose?
However, she had barely finished speaking.
"Fei Ying."
A cold, reproachful female voice poured cold water on her.
Violet stood up, walked up to her, her face serious.
"Stop your unrealistic fantasies. The other side is the End, not the minor characters we've encountered before. We must be cautious."
Caught off guard, Hiyori's momentum immediately weakened.
But she still muttered to herself, somewhat unconvinced.
"Know it……"
She pursed her lips and continued to argue in a voice only she could hear.
"I just feel that if so many of us, with so much authority, can't defeat the end..."
"Then what other way in this world can be used to get rid of her?"
This question caused even Violet, who had just been blaming someone, to fall silent.
Yes.
If we can't even win like this.
What's left?
What will be left to deal with the end times then?
Just as the entire reception room fell into a heavy and bewildered silence because of Hiyori's question.
A calm, emotionless voice suddenly rang out.
It's Hilo.
Her gaze swept through the crowd and landed on Fei Ying, whose face was full of resentment.
"There is a way."
All the fairies' eyes were on Hilo.
Then Shiloh spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Although the chances are slim, as long as Miss Taoyao is willing to help..."
"Then no matter how powerful that fairy is, we can still win."
N-A-A
