When does this world have a blood bar showing?

Hazy...

semi-consciously……

I don't know how much time passed, but the demon hunter girl's consciousness gradually woke up, and her diffuse will gradually became clear.

"...!!"

The next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and her face suddenly became calm and dignified.

At the same time, she clenched her hands into fists and crossed them in front of her chest. The moment she quickly sat up, she looked around with unusual vigilance...

This is an instinct that goes deep into the consciousness and bone marrow, because of the experiences encountered in the past, as well as the blood, sweat and training that have been put in, and the valuable experience gained from being tempered in various harsh and dangerous environments.

Even if they were forced to leave their homes and were hunted by wild hunters with nowhere to go, these sufferings had already happened a long time ago. Even with someone's acquiescence and support, she not only successfully returned to the plane of her origin, but also took the initiative to launch a counterattack, directly wiping out the Wild Hunt's lair - after all, if you are poor, you will hold a grudge, and if you are rich, you will counterattack and calculate, and you are incompetent. At times, she could only suffer the humiliation of being bullied. Once she had the ability, of course she would retaliate hard and defeat her enemies with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves - but there was no denying that such a career still left a very deep impression on her.

so.

The first time Xili woke up from her coma, she responded like this almost reflexively.

only--

The demon hunter girl was slightly startled, because the scene that greeted her eyes was a dark cave.

It seems to be a natural cave in the mountain. It looks dry and warm.

Especially at this moment, it is like an excellent harbor in the storm, providing the best shelter from the harsh environment and weather changes.

After all, when the firelight reflected on the uneven and rugged ground and walls, bringing bright light and heat, along with the crackling sound that was obviously dry wood crackling in the flames, there happened to be a burst of sound outside. The formation is simply deafening, even earth-shattering, howling and roaring winds, and the contrast is even more obvious... At the same time, the figure sitting quietly next to the bonfire also looks strange and familiar.

Quiet and lonely, warm and comfortable.

It's like warming yourself by the fire in the house on a snowy night when the north wind is howling.

In comparison, everything that had happened before seemed to be just a long and unreal dream, but it was deeply imprinted in the deepest part of consciousness.

"Well, you-"

The demon hunter girl was obviously stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously wanted to speak, but the next moment she suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Shirley couldn't help but bend down, and raised her hands to cover her head, showing a very unladylike grin. She felt a huge amount of information coming into her mind. Although it wasn't pain or torture, this strange burning feeling like a brain overload was still a bit uncomfortable. Many pictures and incomprehensible information flashed back in the memory, and the blurry double images overlapped thousands of times, making it appear even more bizarre and distorted...

It's like an endless wave of information is coming in like a raging wave, and the result is naturally that it takes up too much computing power and processes at once.

In short, she was stuck at this moment and her brain shut down.

——It’s just that it’s at this time.

The always slender and powerful palm appeared and gently pressed on the demon hunter girl's head. In an instant, her eyes changed from sluggish to lively and regained their previous clarity.

After taking a long breath, Xili felt that her whole body had calmed down. She bit her lower lip hard and sat there. She was in a daze for a long time before she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth: "Just now ……what is that?"

The amount of information is too large, and there is too much. Although the CPU that was almost overloaded has now restarted work, it is impossible to process such a huge amount of information in a short period of time... So now it is just Being temporarily suppressed only allowed her to take a breather.

“…You can think of it as a “possibility.” "

The person opposite returned to the campfire and sat down. He stretched out his hand to fiddle with the firewood, added a piece of firewood, and then gave such an answer in a leisurely manner.

"possibility?"

After receiving such an answer, Shirley raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, do you feel that you have experienced many different things at the same time? In fact, this is the embodiment of the possibility of different world lines. After all, when all the reasons are rolling, the long river of time that was originally curled into a point When the distortion point is fully unfolded, you were present at that moment, and naturally experienced the erosion of all "time"... Of course, you only saw these, and they are beyond your ability to understand and perceive, and you cannot fully accept them. . "

The young man in white clothes and black hair explained calmly and threw another piece of dry firewood into the firewood pile.

"So for you, these are just "possibilities" that you will see at the right time. In a certain world, all the IF lines about your own past or future that may happen are also different from your current situation. Other fateful trajectories of the chosen path... But even if it cannot be used in practice, this experience is precious as information. It will come in handy in certain situations. Don't treat it as a mere sight. It feels better. "

"...will it come in handy on some occasions...?"

While listening, the witcher girl narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, as if she had thought of something.

Then, she pursed her lips slightly, and then looked to the side to take a look. She saw the bonfire burning brightly, and the warm firelight illuminated the cave, which was neither big nor small.

But she didn't see Miss Brave and Princess Liuli Tong among them... but she guessed that this person had other plans, so she wasn't too worried about the whereabouts of the two temporary teammates.

Those two were her former temporary teammates and the most important tactical executors——

After all, whether it is Emilia, who is entrusted with the true savior sword, or Princess Liu Litong, who is the only one who can rely on the nature of her godhead to gain authority and open the way to the depths of the Milky Sea, these two are both capable in the final tactics. plays a particularly important position. Of course, the main reason is that no one else chooses to form a team... Even the gods of disobedience are not enough to participate in this step. At most, they are just like the demon kings and heroes, in the sea of ​​milk. Fighting hard to stop the spread of black mud.

Even this is considered good, at least this part is really working hard...

As for those guys who didn't show up at all and were just providing long-range fire support in their respective divine domains, it's really hard to say.

Although there is no evidence, Xili always suspects that the disobedient gods are seeking another escape route under the pretext of cover and support. Maybe they have already escaped now... I don't know for sure... thinking of this She couldn't help but shook her head, but the Witcher girl couldn't blame her too much. After all, it was a temporary team. Everyone got together temporarily just to take advantage of each other and get what they needed, so it was indeed Can't ask for too much.

She breathed softly and looked at the young man next to the bonfire, "I thought something happened to you before, so I cooperated with them... But now it seems that you don't need it at all, right?"

"Of course this is necessary, otherwise Xili, why do you think you are here..."

Facing the inquiries and questions from the navigator whom he valued very much, Gu Mo gave a very positive answer.

At the same time, he glanced in the direction outside the cave, couldn't help but frowned slightly, and then flicked his fingers to create a strange light and went out.

That ray of light briefly illuminated the entire cave, and suddenly rushed out of the cave entrance, disappearing into the boundless and deep darkness... In less than a second, a dull sound could be heard faintly in the distance outside. The sound was accompanied by vibrations, and the ground shook slightly... Although I didn't see anything, this scene can easily make people think of some huge and heavy monster, which was taken away by an easy blow. , a scene in which the huge body fell heavily to the ground.

Bang——! !

This naturally caused Shirley's eyelids to twitch while she was thinking about it, and her eyebrows to raise significantly.

What's out there?

My own perception was completely undetectable. Is it because the distance was too far? Or is that thing too strong? So much so that it overwhelms and deceives one's own form of perception?

Although related doubts flashed through her heart instinctively, the demon hunter girl did not pay too much attention to it. After all, she was very aware of how terrifying the power of the person in front of her was. If the person she just met at the beginning was At that time, you could still vaguely sense the boundary, and if you could vaguely feel the specific upper limit, then now you can't even imagine it.

——The so-called gods are special titles prepared for those truly god-like creatures.

——In short, gods are foul beings.

Probably because this kind of "common sense" has long been preconceived and ingrained, no matter what kind of monster was outside or what kind of threat it posed, it has now been obviously solved, and Ciri naturally stopped paying much attention to it right away—— If she was so curious every time, she wouldn't be busy at all, so just after a second thought, Ciri began to turn her attention back, focusing entirely on the words she just heard, and quickly started thinking.

"In other words, this is actually what you arranged? Is it what you want to see unfold?"

While she was thinking, she felt something suddenly dawned on her: "So I came here as you expected?"

"Ah, that's right. Strictly speaking, Xili, your side is just one of the alternatives. After all, my situation at the time was not optimistic, so I could only give some guidance, but I couldn't completely arrange your departure. Each step……"

Gu Mo fiddled with the bonfire and said in a slightly deeper tone: "So besides that, I also made a lot of other preparations. For example, I tried to pull over as many people as I could. Anyway, as long as the "anchor" If there are enough of them, even if I can't wake up directly, at least my personality will not be easily smeared and I will become a deus ex machina. Then there is still a chance for everything... Well, there is nothing I can do about it. I was not prepared at the time. , I can only eat as much as possible to ensure the bottom line. "

Eh? !

Personality has been smeared...

Become a deus ex machina...

What is all this? Shirley couldn't help but have a black question mark expression on her face. Although she vaguely guessed that this guy must have encountered some very difficult troubles, so he would go to war so quietly, but she didn't expect that it would be such a serious trouble. ah!

And speaking of which, doesn’t this situation sound familiar? ...If you think about it carefully, doesn't it seem like what I know about the situation in the Lost Belt in India in the FGO world? The Indian servant named Arjuna obtained the power of "the one who brings the end" from an incarnation of Vishnu, and began to rule the world as the perfect god... In the end, he lost control due to absorbing the power of all gods. , became a conceptualized godhead.

After recalling the relevant information and content that she had accessed based on her authority as an internal member, Xili was convinced that this was what happened.

But in this case, could it be said that this guy also absorbed too much power, causing the same or similar problems?

Wait, how much divinity must this one have devoured, and how many gods must have been persecuted to satisfy him? ——For a moment, many strange thoughts flashed through Xili's mind, and her thoughts were filled with horrifying content.

"Yes, it was relatively smooth..."

The young man in white clothes and black hair paused for a moment.

He no longer stared at the bonfire thinking, but turned to look at Shirley, and continued in a meaningful tone of emotion: "Or should be said - it may be too smooth, as if it was pushed by fate. Just like moving forward..."

After all, since it is an alternative plan, it naturally means that he did not bet on Xili's group at the beginning. At least from a subjective point of view, it is not too hopeful. At most, it is a move with the idea of ​​​​better than nothing. But the result was unexpected. It was this group that came to "him" first. It was not a coincidence, but a destined necessity. This coincidence is beyond coincidence, it is simply like the so-called fate...

"..."

"..."

"Why do you say that? Wouldn't it be better if everything goes smoothly?"

Xili pursed her lips and asked slightly uneasily. She naturally heard the hidden meaning of the other party's words.

"I can't say it's not good, but I suddenly felt that there might be too many coincidences... Let me think about where to start and tell you about it." Gu Mo blinked and looked again Facing the seemingly endless snowstorm outside the cave, after pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked coldly: "Yes - about the world you came from, about the hoarfrost era in the legend of Skellig , How much do you know, Xili?"

"..."

"..."

There was a brief silence, only the crackling of firewood.

For a moment, it seemed that even the howling wind and the raging snowstorm outside suddenly weakened, and all the noise seemed to be far away.

"The White Frost Era..." Ciri took a deep breath, "Of course I know this statement very well. After all, it is the legendary last era, also known as the Wolf Blizzard, or Ted Delray... …”

Of course she is no stranger to this term, it can even be said to be famous and well-known.

Because this is the future of her world, and it is likely to be the apocalypse that will happen in the near future.

It is about a series of famous prophecies made by an elf prophet named Islini a long time ago. Each link is closely linked, like an ouroboros, leading straight from the beginning to the end. the way……

…………

——"Those who are far away will die of plague, those who are close to home will die by the sword, those who run away and hide will die of hunger, and those who survive will be killed by frost and snow..."

——"The blizzard of wolves will approach the era of swords and axes, that is the era of white frost and white light, that is the moment of madness and contempt. The world will be swallowed up by ice and snow, and will be reborn with the new sun... Blood of the Ancients , Han Yisha, and the regeneration of a planted seed... This seed will not sprout, but will explode into the flames and be burned..."

——"It is said that there will be many signs before the beginning of the last era. Some sources mentioned that a wolf will swallow the sun and the moon will produce a lunar eclipse. Then Renarug - the final battle, the battle between light and darkness will begin .At the beginning of the war, a long ship named "Najrfa" will appear. The hull is made of dead people's nails, and the ship is filled with an army of demons and demons..."

——"The Skellige people also believe that before the final battle, Kambi will awaken the legendary hero Hamdol, and he will blow his horn, symbolizing the beginning of the battle that will determine the fate of the world, and then This hero will step onto the Bifrost Bridge to stop the invasion of dark forces. This battle will determine whether the world will be shrouded in eternal night, or whether a new dawn will come..."

…………

There was a faint sound in the cave.

The atmosphere was like some obscure secrets and stories being told in the firelight.

Xili organized her thoughts and recounted the information she knew.

Because in her world, Islini's prophecies are widely known by residents of all races and classes on the continent, and different interpretations of the prophecies have even affected changes in the social and political situation. Many people believe in Islini's prophecies. Islini's prophecies can be heard in every port, square or city gate. Every village witch, druid or scholar will use them, and scholars will publish relevant books. , fortune tellers use it to analyze and interpret the future, and druids use it to warn the world...

——It can basically be said that the prophecy of the elf prophet has penetrated into every corner of daily culture.

This prophecy is a series, and a considerable part of it has been interpreted and confirmed, including major events such as the Northern War, the Great Plague, the Bloody Battle of the Two Unicorns, and the Hakkar Invasion. Only the last one is left. A part of the climate change that has been observed since the end of the thirteenth century——

"Hoarfrost".

——Xili is focusing on this part of the prophecy now, and she is already familiar with it.

She sniffed gently and continued: "And this prophecy has a lot to do with me. The reason why I was in such an embarrassing situation before was largely due to people's interpretation of the prophecy... Similar The lion cub who inherited the blood of Sintra, the white flame, and the seed that does not germinate but burns in the flames are said to be me, and so on, it is probably short of directly declaring that I am the only one who can save the world. That person, after all, I am the only complete inheritor of the ancient blood..."

When talking about the latter part, Xili's tone undoubtedly sounded a little annoyed.

The prophecies of the ancient elf prophets, although they sound particularly high-end, mysterious and powerful... If they involve the world situation, future destiny, and other major events, they will be even more influential. Especially those predictions that are accurate. In the entire series of predictions, every time one is accurately interpreted and proved to be correct and authoritative, the importance of the remaining predictions will increase significantly. .

This was a natural result, but it also caused a lot of trouble for Ciri.

Since people believe in the prophecy and believe that hoar frost will destroy the world, they naturally also believe in the solution given in the prophecy that is not a solution, that is, the only survivors will be the elves, descendants of the ancient blood—— Chaffinch to the rescue…

This is the last straw that a drowning person can cling to in despair...

And it just so happens that Xili, the daughter of time and space nicknamed "Swallow", is the last owner of the ancient blood...

Tsk tsk, isn’t this right!

It is precisely because of this that we have seen Bai Shuang's terrifying wild hunting, which is going crazy and hunting for the last possessor of ancient blood all over the world, hoping to bring this only hope of saving the world and preventing the end of the world back to his own race. In the blood. In addition to these desperate lunatics, there are also countless careerists who covet the mystery of the ancient blood, eager to obtain this unparalleled powerful magical potential, whether it is to prevent the end of the world, or to achieve their own ambitions...

All in all, Islini’s prophecy is just like this——

The era of white winter and white frost, the era of cold wolves, wind and snow...

About the end of civilization, about extinction, destruction and the return of the barbaric era, accompanied by the snow and ice blowing from the eternally frozen territory...

The world will perish in hoarfrost, a harbinger of rebirth. Rebirth into a purer and better world, and the ancient blood plays an important role in rebirth...

only--

"That's right... but have you ever understood the general context of Norse mythology, Ciri?"

Gu Moruo asked pointedly.

"..."

"..."

Xili showed a very serious expression: "Sure enough, you also think the context of this story is very similar, right?"

"Rainbow Bridge, Najirfa, the final battle...these elements combined cannot be summed up by a simple sentence that is very similar." Gu Mo shook his eyebrows, his expression became very strange, and he considered it carefully. After a while, he decided to express his bold hypothesis openly and honestly: "Let's put it this way, I even suspect that the hoarfrost phenomenon in your world is based on the "Fenbul Winter" in Nordic mythology..."

"Winter at Finbul..."

Shirley was stunned for a moment, she knew what this noun meant.

That was an important event and turning point in Norse mythology, and it was also the beginning of Ragnarok... After all, there must be signs before the terrible day of destruction is coming.

The long, cold winter occurs before Regaruk, which will bring three Fimbul winters, namely the winter of wind, the winter of swords, and the winter of wolves. During these three dark and long winters, ice and snow blew in from all directions. In the biting cold, the universe was full of shadows of war and conflict. Evil beasts in the wilderness wandered around in search of food, and terrible conflicts broke out in various worlds. War, brothers and fathers killing each other, violence and chaos continue to breed and spread.

This coincides with the era of Wolf Blizzard and Sword and Axe...

There are too many elements, and the similarity is extremely close.

"This... shouldn't be possible, right? Isn't that a catastrophe that even the great gods can't stop?" Her eyes became a little confused and she murmured to herself.

"Of course it won't be the real Finbul Winter, but it should be just the remaining breath, like a little bit of dampness leaking from the gaps in the World Tree, causing the cold wave and darkness to spread in your universe..." The young man shook his head. He shook his head and expressed his speculation, "Your universe may have some origins with it, but it will definitely not be the real Nordic world. At most, it will be a small leaf that was not completely burned out on the World Tree, and a new world that sprouted again." Small pieces of buds..."

"I really can't imagine..." Xili bit her lower lip and stared at him closely, "Speaking of which, do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence..."

Gu Mo blinked and stood up simply: "Follow me."

"……What?"

The witcher girl was in a daze, but when she saw that he didn't stop and walked straight out of the cave, she could only quickly follow him.

The runes flowed, and the magic of the runes sealed the entrance to the cave, isolating the violent blizzard from the outside. Xili thought that the howling north wind and violent snowstorm outside were already amazing. It wasn't until the moment she walked out that she realized that she was so well protected - the moment she stepped through the protective spell and walked out to the outside world. , her eyes widened and her pupils shrank suddenly, feeling that the ice storm coming towards her almost froze her soul!

There is a feeling of coldness even in the spirit, as if the consciousness is covered with a layer of frost at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Then it becomes stagnant and stiff...

Difficulty operating...

——"Kenaz!!"

At this moment, a spell followed, a friendly, warm, gentle flame, like the fire in a fireplace.

The magic of the runes is blessed by the demon hunter girl, bringing the power of light and giving her a stronger inspiration, allowing her to perceive the world beyond the narrow three-dimensional space and time, and to better observe the world in front of her. ——

"This...this...how could..."

After dispelling the chill that froze matter and spirituality, Xili couldn't help but shiver, and opened her eyes again in astonishment... Thunder and loud noises came from the distance, and she saw the dead sky, earth and The ocean, the dead tomb of life, the universe and everything, from the broken earth to the continuous ruins, like mountains of rot almost touching the sky, in the thick mud-like black blood and rotten flesh, the giant The outline of the monster is vaguely visible...

Of course, there are also elves and dwarfs...

Xili opened her mouth wide and raised her eyes blankly to look at the dark sky, her sight passing through the atmosphereless night.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that even the earth under her feet was just a fragment floating in the abyss of stars, a fragment as fine as dust and insignificant... In addition, there were countless such The wreckage is floating in the universe, drifting aimlessly in the eternal silence and cold vacuum. They are fragments of the broken earth, or the blackened remains of the stars, densely filling every place in the sky.

Gods, giants, heroes...

They are all dead.

The corpses, which were larger than the celestial bodies, were mutilated and floating quietly in the collapsing universe like garbage. It seemed like it had been like this for thousands of years, and time seemed to have stopped eternally at the place where their lives ended. The node is frozen forever, never moving forward again.

Shirley couldn't describe how shocked she was by all this, she just stared blankly,

Countless roars and roars, like trumpets and war drums blown countless epochs ago!

They are still raging endlessly to this day, turning into huge thunder.

In the abyss of stars farther and farther away, is the only source of light in this collapsed universe and dead world——

An extremely huge tree that once supported the Nine Realms.

Only half of it is left, but many places are still burning. The red lotus fire of the past has become pale and weak, like a candle in the wind, but it is still burning tenaciously and refuses to be extinguished... The white light and white flames are like gangrene attached to the bones, and like mistletoe in the mistle tree, burning bit by bit on the charred world tree, eating the last faint trace of life that has not been completely turned into ashes, the trunk, Branches, leaves, buds, even fruits, and the seeds inside...

"I still don't understand the relationship between Uctrashil and Kabbalah. The two seem far apart, like the Nine Kingdoms and the Ten Primes, but the two are really similar in nature. Maybe it's because As the ultimate design blueprint that symbolizes the entire universe, as the way God creates the world from nothing, they just happen to collide in terms of creativity and thinking, or maybe it is just a difference in design versions... Just like whether it is Orlaug, Or maybe it’s Yahweh, whose existence and appearance are so similar.”

Gu Mo's voice sounded leisurely, speaking in a subtle tone.

——When the face of the abyss was empty and formless and dark, the Spirit of God was already moving on the surface of the water...

——In the beginning, when there was no land, no sea, no air, and everything was enveloped in darkness, Orlaug already existed...

——At that time before everything began and before all beings were created, they were invisible and came from nowhere, yet they existed...

"Maybe these two are the same existence, of course, maybe they are not, I can't say for sure." He told it like this, speaking blasphemy with enthusiasm, but then changed the topic: "But in the world I obtained from Miss Brave... After understanding the complete Kabbalah array, I did find this destroyed Nordic world, and opened the path of the pillar through Xili, your burning "seed", and successfully entered this world..."

Can't be wrong.

This is the collapsed Nordic world.

Whether it is the huge corpses floating in the universe, the remains of heroes and monsters that are larger than celestial bodies and black holes, or the rotten flesh and black blood that can erode the structure of time and space, the deteriorated divine power and radiation. be able to prove it.

Of course, there is another very convincing and important evidence that is...

Gu Mo looked at a belt in his hand. This seemingly simple belt was stained with the brilliance of divine blood and snake venom. This was what he found after a cursory search earlier in the cemetery of the gods in the sky. Countless corpses were found deep in the tomb. This belt is hung on a fang that is larger than a star. The fangs are connected to large areas of blackened, burnt and smelly flesh, like a trophy torn from the body of some burly god with blood and flesh...

Although it was slightly damaged, it still showed amazing spirituality after falling into Gu Mo's hands.

For example, quickly shrinking to a size that matches his current body size, instead of maintaining a body that is larger than the stars and weather, as if it can only be used by a giant who stands upright and carries the entire sky and stars on his shoulders. Exaggerate the scale.

At this moment, this piece of equipment was shining so brightly in his field of vision, showing a quality of light that he had never seen before...

Mythical level.

(PS: I’m getting married... I’m really busy.

)

It's quite sudden - well, it's very sudden - and it's the same for me...

Some people should know that the customs and customs here are a bit stinking, and they emphasize "you can only go in but not go out." Once a man in the clan marries a wife first, then the girl who is within the third server cannot marry again, for at least three years. You are not allowed to marry during this period, otherwise it will be bad for the man, bad for the family, etc... I'm not just saying it, but if something happens in the future, the blame can really be laid on you - even if it's been a few years. In the year, something suddenly happened over there. You fell down the stairs or got hit by a car. They dared to block your door and demand an explanation...

The two families across from each other were already at odds with each other, because issues such as family property and land boundaries were very ugly. I really didn’t dare to bet on whether they would be accused of such a scapegoat or suffer some radical man-made disaster, so I could only do this on my own. Bian got married first.

emmmmm, there are too many things to deal with... I have no experience at all, and problems always occur, which is a headache.

As above.
