Chapter 676 (2/2)

“Once the news has been confirmed, I suggest we immediately retrieve the divine relic,” Elena said, “Starfall City no longer fits to possess it.”

“But in that case, a fight with the God’s Punishment Army will be unavoidable and I don’t believe that they’ll be unprepared. Even though they lost to the common people, it doesn’t mean that Hermes would also be vulnerable,” Alethea said in doubt, “Who knows how the common people won? Maybe they just killed a few hundreds of God’s Punishment Soldiers and then believed to have claimed an important victory.”

“This is also possible.”

“I also think so.”

Many expressed their approval.

“The other common people will help us understand,” Pasha said, “and right now, the most important thing is to find the Chosen One. Banach Lothar has already set up the stage. Now, it was time for the actors to perform.”

“If she can succeed in finding the Chosen One in this trip, the demons will definitely perish and the witches will eventually reach new heights!”

…

She walked to the exit of the ruin and stopped.

There was a huge palace, half of it being covered by dirt. At the center of the palace, there was a patio that reached the ten-meter-high surface.

Bright white light shed down the patio, forming a gentle beam of light which lit up a piece of land at her feet.

Opposite from the patio, there were two tombstones.

In contrast with their shabby and dirty surroundings, there was no trace of dust on the tombstones.

Obviously, for hundreds of years, someone who had been sweeping this area clean, had also planted a small plain white flower for the person in the tomb.

She bent over, with one knee in front of the tomb.

This was where the greatest witches were buried. No matter what kind of disagreements they had before, or how intense their disputes were, it was ultimately for the survival of the witches. Thus, even after death, they were put together, never to be separated.

Two of the Union’s Three Chiefs.

Alice, the unstoppable Queen of Starfall City.

Natalia, the dazzling Queen of Sunchaser.

“May the deities be with you.”

After praying, she stood up and nodded to the top. “I’m ready, and please send me away.”

A tentacle appeared from the dark, rolled up around her waist and rose towards the patio. The sky looked bigger and bigger until there was nothing but the sky anymore.

She blinked her eyes trying to get used to the bright light, then slowly opened her eyes and saw the long-awaited world unfolding before her eyes.

“I can only come this far.” Pasha’s tentacle waved from the hole’s exit. “This body can’t be exposed to the sun.”

“I know.” She bent over and hugged the tentacle for goodbye. “Wait for my good news.”

“Oh right, you can’t use your previous name anymore. The Chamber of Commerce of the common people will arrange a new identity for you, as well as a new more appropriate name—No. 76.”

“Sounds nice.” She smiled. “I ‘ll be going then. Take care.”

“You too.”

So, in order to pursue that faint hope, a new journey had begun.
