Chapter 864: Choice
"..."
Looking at the girl with sincere eyes under the moonlight, Anvis sighed softly.
He stood up slowly, walked to Claire's side, and looked at the vast land beneath the towering terrace of the Silver Palace, shrouded in the darkness of night.
"So, where's my family? Where's my friends? Where's the people I hold dear?"
"……will die."
The girl's voice was still ethereal, but its meaning was particularly cold and ruthless.
"Not just them, but all people, and the entire human civilization will perish in darkness and despair."
"Maybe you want to take one or a few beings you value with you to the future, but the power contained in the time ball is limited. The more beings you bring, the stronger the power, and the length of time you can travel is limited. will be shorter.
Take your sister as an example. If you only take her with you to the future, the furthest time you can travel will be reduced by at least 40%. If so, I'm not sure you'll be able to reach the end of the Dark Ages.
By the way, you don’t have to think about me. My form of existence is quite special and I have my own way to travel to the future. "
"..."
Listening to Claire's words, Avis fell into silence again.
Then, facing the endless darkness ahead, the boy with black hair and black eyes suddenly smiled.
In fact, he had no choice from beginning to end.
It is nothing more than observing and recording the way people in this world struggle and resist when facing the dark doomsday, and then summing up the experience and returning to the original timeline to carry out more fully prepared resistance and struggle.
Claire's suggestions only gave him an extra layer of insurance against complete failure.
"It seems that I have no choice..."
The young man's voice was very soft, floating in the night wind, as if he was mumbling to himself.
"Yes, you have no choice."
Not knowing the decision in Anvis's heart, Claire nodded, then, she looked at the purple moon in the night sky and said casually.
"Did you know that millions of years ago, the Purple Moon Amys in the era of high elves was not like this? The butterfly-shaped purple moon sea was not originally on that side."
"Yeah, of course I know."
Looking up at the high night sky, Anvis smiled.
"Do you still remember the little adventure we had in the first class at the Pamir Academy of Mysteries and Relics? In the historical fragment scene we participated in, I also saw the Purple Moon of the High Elf Era.
Millions of years have passed, and even Amys hanging in the sky is no longer the same as before. The existences living on this land have also changed from ancient high elves to today's humans. "
As he said that, Anvis seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the topic.
“You know, besides me, other ninth-level people in this world are also planning to break through to legend.
For example, the Marquises of the Empire used the turmoil of war as a cover and ritual condition a long time ago to secretly carry out a large-scale plan. Behind this, there were even traces of the intervention of ninth-level beings from the Federation.
In your opinion, will they succeed? "
"You should know that this is a meaningless move."
Claire shook her head.
"With incomplete rules, there is no way to break through to legend in this world unless they can make the rules whole again. But even if they do, you know what that will mean."
"So, is there another possibility?"
Staring at the distant sky, from Anvis's perspective of fate, the originally peaceful web of fate on the continent suddenly began to surge violently, and the fate lines of countless people were simultaneously involved in the whirlpool of fate.
"What if they took refuge in a certain dark existence?"
As Anvis finished speaking, as if to prove something, the originally dark sky in the distance suddenly lit up with multiple huge magical lights that shot straight into the sky.
However, the color of this magical glow is an extremely ominous blood-red color!
"Take refuge?"
The side of her face was illuminated by the dark red light in the distant sky. The half-elf girl was stunned for a rare moment. Her ice-blue eyes blinked, and her expression looked a little more confused.
“What do you do when your breakfast comes to you after you wake up?”
"Breakfast..."
Anvis looked at this scene noncommittally and did not comment on anything.
There is no fool who can break through to the ninth level. It is impossible for the marquis to do something that is destined to death.
As for being deceived... it is indeed possible, but to say that ninth-level beings don't know anything is to underestimate the world.
Even if they don't know the truth of ancient secrets, they will definitely grasp relevant clues during the exploration process. For such a major matter involving one's own future and life, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious.
.
….….
At this moment, unlike the two people on the top floor of the Silver Palace who were indifferent, this shocking incident had already touched everyone's nerves.
Rose Territory, Cedar Bastion, Triumph City... Tonight, these areas were all illuminated by huge magic arrays with a diameter covering the entire surface of the earth. Bright red and ominous mana streams were flowing chaotically from them.
Among the many prosperous main cities and villages, countless aborigines and players were alarmed by this huge change, stopped what they were doing, and looked blankly at the sky.
If a spellcaster looks down from a high position at the entire territory of the empire, he will find that there seems to be some special and mysterious connection between the positions of these giant magic arrays distributed throughout the empire.
And all the locations where the magic arrays are arranged have one characteristic: they have been battlefields that have experienced tragic bloody battles before, or cities that have been massacred in wars!
As the magic array operates, the blood and unconscious soul fragments that soar into the sky suddenly emerge, and then are swept into it by the power of the magic array.
At the same time, under the influence of the power of the magic array, the space in the surrounding area suddenly distorts like ripples. The strange domain begins to expand rapidly around the magic array with the magic array as the core
In these areas, the dream world and the material plane present a special overlapping state, and even strange beings in the dream appear and wander in these areas.
If Anvis were here, he would be surprised to find that the areas expanded by these magic arrays are the [overlapping areas] that spread in the Yar continent in the previous life!
Some professionals who were alarmed by the incident tried to destroy the magic circle, but were immediately killed by the blood armor guardian who came from nowhere. Their blood and souls also merged into the magic circle, shocking others not to move.
At this time, in the Elfennia territory near the capital of the empire, in an ancient underground cave that seemed to be formed naturally, the incarnations of the imperial marquises had gathered here.
In front of them, an extremely huge dark pyramid was located in the center of the cave. At this moment, the surface of the pyramid had already glowed with dark red chaotic light, flickering rhythmically like a heart.
