After the full level, my soft rice system is long overdue

Repair the library and unseal those past books.

And based on the knowledge of these old times, set up educational courses for the residents of the whole city——

This was the first order personally issued by Francis, the consul of Aurora City, after the twilight tide completely ended.

Charles, who heard the news, couldn't help admiring the consul's courage and insight. No wonder he was able to lead Aurora City to persevere for so many years in the lightless disaster.

In the era when there was no light disaster and the twilight creatures were rampant——

Doing your best to survive, continuing the fire is the top priority of Aurora City, and all other spiritual and entertainment activities can be abandoned.

However, after the disaster of the Twilight Creatures disappeared, development and rebirth became the main theme of the era.

And if you want to really start rebuilding and light the spark of civilization again, then the knowledge of the old era preserved in the big library is the most precious and invaluable treasure at this moment.

Of course, Francis has not forgotten the source of solving Aurora City from the lightless disaster——

The traveler Shire who came from far away and represented the will of "arcana".

Under Anna's repeated persuasion, although Francis finally gave up the idea of ​​praying regularly every Sunday for the so-called "God of Arcane Art" and the statue of Charli, and building a church.

But out of various considerations, Francis still gave Anna, who was the first to contact Shire in Aurora City, the title of "Arcane Preacher", which made her often followed by enthusiastic residents of Aurora City when she went out.

There is no way, the "nuclear explosion" that defeated the twilight beast horde earlier, and the "atomic lamp" that brought a stable light source to the dark Aurora City left too much in the hearts of the residents of Aurora City. deep impression.

Randomly find a hundred people in the city, and 99 of them are advocates of "arcana".

Even though, they don't even know the true meaning of arcane art...

After a while of discomfort, Anna accepted this identity calmly, and often used the identity of "Arcane Evangelist" to popularize some arcane-related common sense to the common people in Aurora City.

However, she didn't become smug because of the pursuit of the common people, or because of the improvement of her status, she didn't have any unnecessary thoughts.

Anna's favorite thing to do on weekdays is to stay quietly in the library, studying the few arcane enlightenment books that Charles had left for her earlier.

Or just like before meeting Shire, reading ancient books in the library.

"The sea.."

"Also, the ebb and flow of the tide..."

Hearing Anna's question, Ai Ze's old and cloudy eyes showed a little nostalgia.

"That's real..."

"When I was young, I used to go to the sea together with the girl I loved. I heard rumors that if I made a wish at the seaside, I could be together forever..."

"only.."

Aize shook his head slightly.

What kind of pledge...

what everlasting..

No matter how sincere and fiery emotions...

In the face of the long years, in the end, it is nothing but a handful of loess.

"Moreover, I heard from a familiar scholar that after the Agnostic Disaster broke out and the sun, moon and stars were invisible, the tide phenomenon has disappeared..."

"Right now, the ocean may still exist, but it should be nothing but a stagnant water that has lost its vitality..."

"The ebb and flow of the tide, the birth and death of the waves, the turbulent waves crashing on the shore..."

"Maybe, never again..."

There was a slight sigh in Aize's words.

It is in stark contrast to the thriving Aurora City outside the library where every resident has a smile on their face.

For these civilians who were born after the cataclysm and can only imagine the sun, moon and stars from the descriptions of others——

Able to obtain a stable lighting source..

You don't have to worry about being polluted in the dark, and you don't have to worry about being killed by dusk creatures when you go out to collect firewood. You can live in peace and stability, which is already a great happiness.

However, for him, the remnant who came from the old era and had witnessed the glory of that era with his own eyes, he knew it deeply.

something--

It's really never coming back.

However, the next moment.

Anna's crisp and sweet words rang in Aize's ears.

"No, Grandpa Aize—"

"I believe.."

"We will definitely wait until that day..."

"People can see the blue sky again, see the flowers hanging on the branches..."

"When you take a nap in the afternoon, you can lie on the green grass, and the warm sunlight passes through the shade of the trees, leaving fine and mottled silhouettes..."

This little girl started fantasizing again after reading which book in the library..

Ai Ze looked at Anna who spoke seriously in front of him, and shook his head with a wry smile.

As if seeing Aize's disapproval, Anna's serious voice sounded again.

"Grandpa Aize, if before the arrival of His Majesty Shire..."

"Have we ever thought that one day, we will be able to survive the twilight tide?"

"That's different.."

Aize raised his head and looked outside the casement of the large library, the dark and gloomy sky.

Even if it was the sum of the light emitted by the countless ever-bright atomic lamps in Aurora City... reflected on the sky, it did not leave the slightest trace.

A city of sparks..

Compared to the darkness that has enveloped the entire world for more than two hundred years.

After all, it still seems too small..

However, the next moment.

Aize's eyes suddenly froze.

On the seemingly unchanging pure black sky, a faint light suddenly flickered.

At first, the light was still very small, making Ai Ze blink his eyes, suspecting that his old eyes were blinded.

But the next moment-

That faint light from one to two, from two to four...

In a very short period of time, it spread rapidly.

On the extremely black sky, there suddenly appeared countless diamond-like spots of light——

boom--

The entire Aurora City was shocked, and countless people stopped their work and looked at the dark night sky.

Then, silently looking at the dreamy and blurred ocean formed by bright light spots——

The stars shine into the sea.

..

Above the far sky, in Charles' eyes, countless streams of data flashed by.

Beyond the dark palace—

On the thousands of silver-white rings, mysterious spell runes flickered, or fiery red or ice blue magic power slowly flowed along the texture of the ring's surface.

And in the sky beyond—

Those countless fragments floating between the sky and the earth, those crystal clear, unowned fragments of divinity and authority suddenly burst into light at the same time.

The fragments of divinity and authority are dazzling and dazzling, releasing a terrifying coercion..

They reflect each other in the starry sky, gathering to form a sea of ​​stars...

"Divine Containment Array—"

"start up."

Shire Gujing's silent voice sounded slowly.

Beside him, the dark-haired golden-eyed Twilight Witch gently closed her eyes..

The colossal coercion swept up, crushing countless surrounding buildings into powder.

The frenzied storm blew up Renata's long black hair, and it fluttered in the wind.

A series of invisible fluctuations were released from the girl's delicate body, spreading out to the entire plane silently.

The sea of ​​stars above the far sky..

Buried in the ruins of sand and dust..

The deep and quiet island jungle..

the depths of the ocean..

One after another, the fragments of broken divinity and authority scattered in every corner of the world since the cataclysm and the destruction of the gods suddenly woke up at this moment.

Echoing with Renata who closed her eyes..

Then, the Twilight Witch opened her eyes.

Those were a pair of red-gold eyes with a breathtaking light.

Like... flowing lava.

The next moment-

Located all over the world, the thousands of stars gathered by broken divinity and unsovereign authority slowly floated towards the distant sky.

The light is flowing.

The light is gathering.

Tens of thousands of bright spots of light, under the pull of Renata's own power and power as the source, slowly converge towards the center of the silver-white ring.

Then--

In the silent gaze of all the remaining intelligent creatures in this world, as well as countless audiences from the Western Continent in the live broadcast room.

The sea of ​​light spots... gathers together little by little.

Then, in the mysterious inscription of the silver-white ring, it was squeezed, shrunk, and solidified bit by bit in the colossal constricting force of the restraining array formed by the silver-white ring.

finally--

Thousands of points of light..

Gathered into a single one.

Bright and dazzling stars.

..

"Divinity and Authority Containment Ended."

"Pseudo-stellar—"

"Star core creation, completed.."

Charles' voice sounded slowly.

Beside him, Renata's red-gold eyes shining with divine light dimmed instantly after hearing Ciel's words.

Her delicate body softened, and she fell silently to the side.

Even Renata's physique as a "Star Blessed" would have given her a high degree of affinity with divinity and authority that exist in the astral world——

Even if she stole the divine power of the gods, her strength can already match or even surpass the true gods at this moment..

but--

At this moment.
