How can it be.
Ash instantly retreated ten steps away. For Supreme, this distance was no different from being within reach, but he needed this little distance to maintain the illusory sense of security.
In a few breaths, he had activated three prophecy miracles and six reconnaissance miracles. His sight was so sharp that it seemed as if he could penetrate into the soul of the stars, trying to find a flaw. The stars were a little uncomfortable with his gaze and fiddled with their hair, but their eyes still glanced at Ash from time to time. I don't know what she was thinking of, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyebrows were smiling.
It was as if the person standing there was not the supreme magician who had ruled the world for thousands of years, but the girl who followed him every day like a little shadow.
If they hadn't met again at this moment, and if she didn't have the virtual wings behind her, Ash might have accepted her resurrection with tears streaming down his face... But her virtual wings were not fake.
She is both a girl and the Supreme!
"Stars."
Ash's virtual wings spread to the limit, and the surging source power formed a circuit-like pattern on the virtual wings, spreading all the way to his soul body. His muscles and bones seemed to be ignited, and colorful flames rose up. The whole person was like an angry torch: "How far are you going to fool us!?"
Red, black, silver, mercury blood!
Tick-tick.
The time scale was stretched to the limit at this moment. In the slowly flowing time, a drop of mercury-colored blood slowly fell. When it fell into nothingness, it caused ripples, and time and space gradually returned to normal. However, the bloody sword intent contained in the mercury also spread to every corner of the starry sea with the help of the surging golden river!
Mercury blood, black time and space, red frenzy!
In extreme anger, Ash did not hesitate to use the three-color miracle that only existed in theory, and at the same time combined the power of Sonia, Diya, and Weisser to turn the sea of stars into a sea of blood! Dense black cracks in the shape of lightning appeared in the world, as if it would fall apart in the next moment. Ash pushed the supreme magic to the extreme, and even the seventh level of the Void Realm could not withstand it.
If the battlefield were placed in the Seventh Heaven, I'm afraid no one would survive outside of the phase.
But the price was also extremely high... One fifth of the source power evaporated instantly, and more than a hundred magic spirits died of exhaustion!
"Even without me, Ash, you can protect yourself well... I feel a little regretful."
Like the first ray of light that ignites the universe, the starlight so dazzling that everything else pales in comparison penetrates the blood-red sword tide. No matter how turbulent the sword tide is or how fierce the waves are, they cannot shake the starlight in the slightest.
Just now, Ash had the upper hand with the help of the virtual wings, and now Fanxing can rely on the virtual wings to do things with ease.
"However, although you are very strong, Ash." Fanxing said with a smile: "But now I am stronger."
"By the way, don't you think we are very similar now to then?" She turned around, her skirt blooming like a flower, like a girl showing off her achievements to her lover: "I could borrow your power then, and I can still borrow your power now, but I am no longer your demon. Now I am the Supreme Spell..."
She blinked at Ash. Although she was smiling so beautifully, her eyes were filled with arrogance: "The highest magic belongs only to me!"
The starlight gradually dimmed. Except for the sun cage of the drama poet, the surrounding planets had disappeared without a trace, but the stars in the distance were still shining brightly. The stars had just blocked Ash's mercury blood and even built a barrier to prevent the sword tide from spreading, defending this world that belonged to her.
She is the most selfless and selfish person in the world, selfless enough to protect the world as if it were something important, and selfish enough to treat the world as if it were something in her pocket. However, Ash had no desire to convince and criticize her. She was not an evil careerist, nor a kind philanthropist, she was not a tyrant, not a benevolent king, she was not an observer who lived indifferent to the world, nor a politician with ideals, and she had almost no extra desires except magic.
Even the world is just a stepping stone on her path of magic. Protect it when needed, and abandon it when not needed.
She is like a body with only divinity, the ultimate individual produced by the extreme reproduction of magician civilization. The so-called moral laws have no meaning to her at all.
Ash is even a little curious now... Why didn't Future Star become an operator
"What on earth are you trying to do?" Ash said coldly, "Since you've already won, do you still have to pretend to be her to irritate me?"
"Acting?" Fanxing tilted her head: "That's too much. Do you think I was always acting? Although sometimes I did..."
"you-"
"You just said I was fooling you, and you called me so angrily without giving me a chance to explain..." Fanxing sighed, "I really didn't fool you, I really am Fili."
"Fili will fight me?" Ash sneered.
"Or should I stand here and be beaten to death by you?" Fanxing pouted: "I haven't finished yet. Besides being Fili, I am also Fanxing. After all, you know that we are the same person."
"You probably think that Fanxing is wearing a mask called 'Fili' to play you, but if that's the case, how can I share your virtual wings?" Fanxing reached out to touch her colorful tail feathers, her fingertips brushing across the star-blue sword marks on the tail feathers: "You should know best, if I am fake, how can I establish a bond with you that we can share each other?"
"Ash, your virtual wings," she retracted her virtual wings, her expression calm, her voice brisk: "Very warm."
Yes.
Not only did Ash recognize her as Fili at first sight, but more importantly, no one understood better than him what it meant to share virtual wings. It was a realm that required countless life and death experiences to reach... Even Vichy and the others had only just crossed the threshold in the past few days!
"But even so..." Ash said with a complicated expression: "Why can you establish a bond with me?"
The fact that the bond could be retained was beyond Ash's expectation. He thought that after the disappearance of Aurora's Magician's Manual along with the Final Five, the bond system should also collapse. But after studying it for a few days, he found that the bond not only did not disappear, but could even continue to improve, but there was no digitized interface to view it.
In the past, they might not have been able to figure it out, but Ash, who had a deep understanding of the Supreme Authority, could already guess the essence of the bond system: a supreme technique that was permanently effective.
Every time a bond is established, it is equivalent to leaving a supreme art between Ash and the operator. However, in order to trigger the supreme art, many prerequisites must be met. Ash even suspects that "virtual team" is also related to the supreme art. Although it is incredible, when I think that this is the ultimate secret art developed by the Final Five after burying countless worlds, I feel that it is indeed worthy of its origin.
They were not just guessing. In the past few days, when the witch, Silver Lantern, and Vichy were improving their bond, Ash had keenly captured very secret fluctuations in the magic. In order to further study, the witches were so tired that they finally determined that it should be the supreme magic of the fate faction, and it might be related to the power of the fifth pillar god.
Therefore, even if "Aurora's Sorcerer's Manual" disappears, the bond will not disappear, but will become their ability forever.
Seeing the current stars, Ash had asked Death Maniac several times but she avoided the question every time. The doubts that had been hidden deep in his heart surfaced again -
In the past, he had seen the characters such as 'The Heart-Breathed Girl', 'The Purple Shadow Princess', 'The Blood Queen', 'The Crow Killer', 'The Chaos Songstress' in the "Operator Search"... Can all these characters become his bound operators
To put it more directly, why didn't they become operators who could share a bond with Ash? Was it because they didn't have the qualifications, or was it because the Final Five limited the number of operators
Now, he might have his answer.
"Since the beginning of the Kingdom of Stars, I have sensed the traces of destiny in you." Fanxing's expression at this moment seemed to be less innocent and more indifferent: "At that time, I thought it was a foreshadowing left by the Four Pillars Gods for you. It was not until the Six Hells disappeared and you told your secret that I realized that this destiny was the blessing that connected you with them."
"And this blessing is not just for you and them, there are many others too." She pouted her lips, revealing a bit of displeasure, and crossed her arms in front of her chest, her indifference disappearing, making her look even more innocent: "Although I expected it, but Ash, you are really fickle~ ah~"
"Freya and the others." Ash immediately understood, and another doubt was also cleared up - no wonder Freya, Shifrin, Annan, Tamashi and the others can form a team, because they all have bonds with themselves, so the team function was triggered when logging into the virtual realm!
No wonder Rose would pull herself and them into the realm of thoughts. Although Rose could not perceive the nature of the bond, she could sense the power of thoughts within it!
Fanxing continued, "But I still didn't see the potential of this blessing until the battle in Hell—"
"No." Ash found the problem: "I'm not sure about the others, but the bond between me and Freya should not be worse than that of Sword Princess and the others. But I can't even feel her bond, let alone share her virtual wings! If you can't even feel her bond, how can you-"
"Because your blessing and the others' was sealed."
Ash was stunned, his face full of disbelief: "It's sealed?"
"This blessing of destiny is too profound. Even if I raise my destiny realm to six wings, I can only see the shallowest surface."
Fanxing covered her left eye with her hand, and in her right eye socket flowed runes that Ash couldn't see clearly. "But because you established a new bond with Felix not long ago, I can see a little more... But Ash, you're really too much. How can you like Felix who looks like me? I don't know whether to complain that you like me so much or be happy that you still like me."
Ash's eyebrows twitched wildly when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fanxing, have you had enough?"
"Ah?" Fanxing was startled, and her state of mind became visibly depressed, even the starlight around her dimmed: "Ash, don't you want to see me?"
"I didn't... I just... what did you see in Felix?" Ash didn't know how to respond, so he quickly got back to the point.
"If you and Jian Ji have a thread connecting your fingers, then you and Felix and the others also have threads tied on your fingers, but the threads are broken and not connected." Fanxing touched her fingers and said sourly, "Speaking of which, you gave them rings..."
broken
Why is it broken
Or should we put it the other way around, why are only the threads of Fiora and the others connected
Ash's mind was working rapidly, and Fanxing continued leisurely, "In fact, the thread between you and Felix was not broken at the beginning. It was only after you entered hell that I saw the thread of Felix's bond was broken."
Ash's first reaction was: "It was Hell that cut it off... No, it's impossible."
If it was the influence of the Sixth Layer of Hell, then the threads between Ash and Fiora should also be broken. Although there might be an option of "high-level bonds continue but low-level bonds break", there is another possibility that is more questionable -
It was the Final Five who severed the threads of ties between him and the others!
First, this is the ultimate secret technique created by the viewers, so they naturally know how to cut it off!
Second, the Death Maniac has good reasons to prevent him from forming close bonds with other people!
Third, the bond system is the trump card customized by the Final Five based on themselves. Even if it is for the purpose of controlling variables, they should sever the bond between Ash and others to avoid accidents when they merge in the future.
But if this is the case, Ash overturned the previous speculation: their bond does not require the Final Five to cast spells again and again, it is more likely that Ash is bound to a supreme art similar to the "bond core". As long as the conditions are met, everyone can establish a bond with Ash, and drop a card to enter the station! Only in this case, the Final Five need to manually disconnect Ash from the others!
In other words, Ash was originally a bus, and the Final Five forced him to become a four-seater private car.
