Extraordinary pedigree

Xia Xiu looked down at the remains that had turned to ashes, and there was not much emotion on his face.

Ding Dong~

Ding Dong~

Ding Dong~

Behind him, the three-layer halo that looked like white jade began to flicker, and a crisp ding-ding sound echoed in the empty space, and the shining light on the halo gradually dimmed.

Then, under Xia Xiu's mind, the halo turned into countless tiny light spots and spread out in all directions.

At the same time, the thirty-six pairs of light particle wings that had originally spread out like a miracle behind him also began to disintegrate, the light on the wings faded, and the feathers disintegrated into tiny particles, floating in the air like dissipated morning mist.

[Apostle Form·Release——]

The pure white hair was gradually covered with gold, which complemented his eyes that were dyed with gold again.

And his figure also changed accordingly.

The originally pure white holy robe like an angel was replaced by deep black in an instant, turning into a set of exquisitely tailored black windbreaker suits.

"Huh~"

"As expected, we need more resources for Ether Information. The advancement of the crown and Cupid's dress must be put on the agenda."

Xia Xiu exhaled and stretched.

"Next, we need to leave a mark here to facilitate future entry and exit."

After that, he stretched out his hand and gently swiped the [Heaven's Lever] in the legendary Exile Library, and ripples appeared in the air.

The top of the lever emitted a subtle silver light, like a carving knife carving a secret door in the void.

The shape of the door perfectly blends with the style of this library, as if it existed in this space.

After the secret door was formed, Xia Xiu nodded slightly and turned to leave.

After passing through the interlayer of the space, his figure reappeared in the ruins of Odepapadopolis.

Compared with the magnificent scene of the Elsinia continent after the battle, this prehistoric city suspended in the sky seemed surprisingly complete.

Although the aftermath of the war destroyed the surrounding ice fields and snow, Odepapadopolis itself stood like an indestructible fortress between heaven and earth.

The structure and materials of this city seemed to far exceed the limits of the baseline world.

"What a powerful creation."

Xia Xiu commented in a low voice, his eyes sweeping across the scene in front of him.

He had a new plan in his mind.

He wanted to use this city as the base of the three academies and build it into an enclave like the Three Portlands.

Odepapadopolis itself has an unshakable defense.

In addition, the existence of this city itself is the pride of the peak creation of prehistoric civilization, and it has cultural heritage all at once.

However, if he wants to use Odepapadopolis for his own use, he may need to get past Set first.

Don't worry now, he still needs to deal with the tail.

Xia Xiu's eyes gradually locked on an area full of ruins, which was the location of the imitation palace of [Alagada]-the underground palace destroyed by him and the sage and the silver-robed wizard.

He walked towards the ruins, his steps brisk but cautious, his silver cane resting on the ground, making crisp knocking sounds.

After passing several ruins, he finally entered the core area of ​​the palace.

The ruins here still retain some of their form, and the heavy architectural style makes it look like the last bastion of holding the position.

Under a collapsed bronze arch, Xia Xiu's eyes stayed on a faint flame - it was a candle, burning with an everlasting flame. The flame was small, but it released an irresistible pressure.

It stood there quietly, and the flame was not weakened by the surrounding environment, but seemed more pure, like burning eternal life.

"Eternal candle..."

He whispered in a low voice, stretched out his slender fingers, and picked up the candle.

At the moment of touching, the candle did not send out the imagined heat, its surface was warm as usual, but the flame exuded a strange burning feeling, as if burning the depths of the soul.

This feeling rushed into Xia Xiu's arm like an electric current, reaching the bottom of his heart.

The [sun element] in the body was awakened by some power, and a hysterical hunger came, as if to completely devour the candle.

Xia Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not swayed by this spiritual hunger, but summoned his incarnation - [Metatron].

The figure of [Metatron] emerged quietly.

No longer in the majestic form of a battle angel, but appeared in the posture of a clerk.

At this moment, he did not hold the sword of fire, but held the Book of Order.

The arrival of the incarnation made the flame of the candle tremble slightly, and it seemed to sense some irresistible attraction.

The pages of the book slowly turned, and the white pages emitted a faint light, and those lights gradually intertwined into runes and patterns.

The incarnation gently lifted the book and floated around the candle flame.

The pages of the book did not stop at any page, but began to write automatically, and a series of dense and complex patterns and characters appeared on the pages, like a machine that was analyzing miracles.

From Xia Xiu's perspective, a blue curtain appeared. This was the information feedback interface from the spectrum:

[Detected solar element information——]

[Information assimilation started——]

[Assimilation rate: 21%...34%...48%...]

The progress bar advanced rapidly on the curtain, and every beat was accompanied by the slight trembling of the candle flame.

It is having some kind of complex interaction with the [solar element] in Xia Xiu's body.

Xia Xiu closed his eyes and felt the blending process. The hot spiritual feeling did not make him feel uncomfortable, but instead gave him an unexpected sense of smoothness.

The page in [Metatron]'s hand gradually filled up during the interaction, and abnormal descriptions related to [Eternal Burning Fire] and [Eternal Candle] began to appear in the complex characters.

As the characteristics of the last ray of flame were analyzed, the order mark at the bottom of the page lit up, and then a brand new word appeared - [Ordered].

The golden handwriting was like a dazzling star, lighting up the entire page for a moment.

The secretary's figure floated quietly in the air, while Xia Xiu looked down at the burning candle in his hand.

"Now I can also control and be immune to its abnormal properties."

Xia Xiu slightly raised the candle in his hand, and the light of the flame danced in his pupils.

"By the way, is this candle the creation of the spark, or the handiwork of the sun?"

His voice was full of inquiry, but it seemed like he was talking to himself.

After observing for a while, Xia Xiu handed the candle in his hand to the avatar beside him.

[Metatron] stretched out his hand and gently took the candle. The action was like a scribe taking a sacred document from the owner's hand.

He held the candle in his hand, the flame dancing silently in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, the candle gradually changed in his hand. The hot little flame became more and more illusory. The flame turned into flowing runes and light and shadow, switching between reality and spirituality. Finally, the entity of the candle completely disappeared.

On the page of the "Book of Order", a picture of a candle slowly emerged. The picture looked lifelike, as if the candle itself was dancing the flame of life on the page.

"It's back to order."

Xia Xiu's voice was low and distant. He smiled slightly, and his fingertips gently brushed the candle pattern on the page. The dancing flame patterns flickered for a moment as if they were alive, and then returned to calm.

"Now, it's time to deal with the survivors of the Balrog experiment and the abnormal Balrog legions."

He looked away from the page, and the Seraphim gently closed the Book of Order.

As he finished speaking, a [∞] symbol appeared under his feet, and the space was distorted, like ripples on the water, wrapping his entire body in it.

The next moment, in the interplay of light and shadow, his figure disappeared.

In the underground laboratory, the scorching air seemed to be stagnant, and there were still traces of scorch on the walls, emitting a mixed smell of burnt and sulfur.

That special frictionless space still maintains its effectiveness, and a figure is struggling inside.

That is the Dragonborn Girl - a survivor with [Eternal Fire] burning in her body.

Her body was covered in abnormal flames, and her red-gold scales looked dazzling in the light, yet exuded a suffocating and dangerous aura.

With the distortion of space, a young man with blond hair and golden eyes appeared in front of the girl.

The girl's eyes were locked on the blond young man who had just appeared.

There was no reason in her eyes, only burning rage and bestial instinct.

She tried to stand up, but the frictionless space caused her to fall again.

Even so, she still gritted her teeth, struggled hard, and let out a low and angry roar, her voice full of primitive anger and resistance.

Xia Xiu stood at the edge of the space, watching her struggle calmly.

There was no fluctuation in his gaze, and there was a calmness of inspection in his golden eyes.

The dragonborn girl's fiery rage seemed insignificant under his gaze.

"roar--"

The girl stared, and suddenly let out a deafening roar. Her claws hit the invisible boundary of space, and flames spurted out with the movement.

However, the frictionless rules still made it difficult for her to stand firm. Her anger was like a beast trapped in a cage, and she could only charge in vain.

"Quite tenacious."

Xia Xiu's voice was low but with a faint smile, as if he was in no hurry to deal with the situation at hand.

He raised his hand, and golden spiritual light gathered slightly on his fingertips, like the radiance flowing from the sun, which was both warm and dazzling.

At this moment, his mind was racing with how to solve the flame problem in front of him.

He has now completely mastered the abnormal characteristics of the [Eternal Magic Candle], but he is well aware of its limitations - he cannot directly remove the flame, he can only use the characteristics of the candle to cover the abnormal characteristics of the flame, and then create a fraudulent "vacuum" "Environment, inhibiting the spread and burning of flames.

This process sounds complicated and obscure, full of strange logic and tortuous rules, but it is an inevitable trouble when dealing with anomalies involving the source of information authority.

The golden light in his hand flashed suddenly, and then spread towards the flames on the dragonborn girl at an incredible speed.

The reaction of the flame was extremely violent, as if it realized that it was about to be stripped away, it burned even more fiercely, and the red-gold light shone like an unwilling struggle.

However, after these crazy flames came into contact with Xia Xiu's golden light, they suddenly stagnated as if their lifeblood had been strangled, and then rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye until they disappeared without a trace.

The whole process was clean and neat, without a trace of flame remaining, as if it had never existed.

The disappearance of the flame did not leave any trace of burning, nor did any smoke drift away. Only a strange silence filled the air, as if some natural law had been temporarily tampered with.

The figure of the dragon girl was completely revealed in the empty space. The red and golden scales that once covered her whole body looked particularly dim after losing the scorching of the flame.

Those scales originally flowed with dazzling brilliance, but now they seemed to have lost their vitality, showing a gray tone, with mottled scorch marks clearly visible, and even in some places, they had begun to peel off, revealing the fragile skin underneath.

As the flame disappeared, a mini [∞] appeared behind the girl's neck.

Crack——

The chip behind the dragon girl was directly destroyed.

The wildness dissipated, and reason returned.

She stood there, like an abandoned statue, staring blankly at her hands.

Pain...

Disappeared...

The roaring voice had long since disappeared, replaced by a bewildered silence.

After a long time, her expression finally changed slightly, her brows knitted, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but couldn't make any sound.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a hint of coldness on her cheek.

It was a feeling she had never been familiar with - she subconsciously raised her hand and touched her cheek.

Where her fingertips touched was wet and cold. She was stunned for a moment, looked down at her fingers, and saw some crystal liquid on them.

——It was tears.

Her eyes began to become confused, and then she trembled uncontrollably for a few times, and her body seemed to be unable to bear some weight, and she suddenly squatted down.

The tears were no longer a few drops, but like a flood that broke through the dam, pouring out of her eyes.

"Wuwuwu--"

"Wuwuwu!!!!!"

She hugged her head with her hands, her shoulders trembled, and finally uttered the first suppressed sob, and then she could no longer stop and burst into tears.

The cry echoed in the empty laboratory, sounding like a mixture of deep regret and helplessness.

Xia Xiu stood not far from her, his eyes always calm.

He slowly raised his feet, passed through the frictionless space he created, and came in front of the girl.

At this moment, the blond young man's black windbreaker fell in the windless space, like a quiet shadow.

He lowered his head and stared at the girl in front of him quietly.

There were no words of comfort, nor deliberate movements.

He just stood there, his calm eyes fell on her, as if he was observing an unfinished puzzle, waiting for the other party to reveal the answer himself.

In the air, the girl's crying gradually subsided, leaving only intermittent sobs.
