Chapter 486: Losing Everything
Although Shirley, in the form of a light silhouette, didn’t have eyes, Adele clearly felt that her gaze seemed to see through everything, at least everything that Adele didn’t understand. This feeling of someone else being more familiar with her own body than herself... was strange.
Soon, Shirley withdrew her hand and pondered quietly. After a while, she asked Adele, “You’ve recently tried to modify your magic circuits, right?”
“...” Adele nodded. This kind of thing was seen through by Shirley... But it was also normal. In terms of magical attainments, Shirley was the ancestor of witches, while she was just a junior with a little talent and a little bit of good luck.
“Then do you want to modify your magic circuits according to my method?” Shirley offered her olive branch. And this might also be the greatest significance of this magic slice’s existence: to pass on her inheritance to future generations.
Adele’s heart couldn’t help but race. However, she still had a question in her mind, which was the conflicting statements of Black Emperor Ying Zhou and Lucifer.
Black Emperor Ying Zhou said that “rebuilding the Tower of Babel” was the method that Primordial Witch Shirley thought of to modify magic circuits and reach the realm of gods. Lucifer, however, said that even she didn’t know how Shirley modified her magic circuits, and Shirley told her this personally. The so-called “The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao” was a method Shirley could do but couldn’t explain.
So, were these two completely different modifications, or were they the same?
Adele didn’t immediately respond, agreeing or refusing Shirley’s teachings. Instead, she told her her confusion.
Shirley let out a surprised voice. “I even couldn’t help but use that method...”
“That method?” Was it referring to “rebuilding the Tower of Babel”? If so, then the order was obvious.
The first method Primordial Witch Shirley realized to modify magic circuits was the ineffable “Tao.” She believed that it had the potential to let her break through to the supreme realm. Unfortunately, later, her path of exploring the “Tao” failed, or perhaps the Lord of Heaven didn’t give her enough time to explore it to the end.
Therefore, she had to abandon her previous efforts and switch to “rebuilding the Tower of Babel,” attempting to mobilize the power of all races in the world, exhausting everything in the utopian country, to ascend to godhood! Because only then would she be qualified to be the enemy of her “mother”—the Lord of Heaven.
Her final ending was the withering of a summer flower in full bloom. But Shirley never regretted such an ending. She, who had become a god, didn’t die immediately in that mythical war, but her life would also inevitably flow towards its end. The girl, who loved liveliness and friends and didn’t like loneliness in her life, finally embarked on the journey called death alone.
She finally chose a burial place for herself, which was the current Blood Secret Realm of the Vampire Clan, the place of her demise. And she was the source of the “God’s Blood” that the twelve True Ancestors drank.
The end of the Vampire Clan was the Primordial Witch Shirley after becoming a god!
“Rebuild the Tower of Babel, praying to be bathed in the last light of the Creation God.”
“But it still failed.” Shirley said, not without regret. But after the regret, the tone of the figure of light became excited.
“But this also means that the Tao I originally adhered to is the correct one... right!” She was talking to herself, excitedly talking to herself. Even though Shirley’s figure of light understood that she was now just a fading imprint of magic power, and her original self had been buried, it still couldn’t affect her lively and infectious personality.
For Adele, it was just like the real Shirley was in front of her. She was truly the kind of girl who could easily attract everyone to follow her with her shining points.
“It’s a pity that I now have no opportunity or time to complete the unfinished business.”
“Then, are you willing...”
“I am willing!” Adele said eagerly.
The girl realized that today’s inheritance was extremely crucial, far more important than picking up and inheriting the elemental magic power from True Ancestor Ron because behind this, there might be hidden... another key to becoming a god!
Black Emperor Ying Zhou chose to “rebuild the Tower of Babel” to perform the ascension ritual. Adele couldn’t put all her hopes on her and the evil god. She also had her own reasons for wanting to protect this world, the people she wanted to protect...
Her lovers...
“Even if you give up everything you have now, are you still willing?”
Shirley’s figure of light smiled faintly, asking that crucial question.
Adele was stunned. “...Everything, what do you mean?” She could give up a lot, but there were indeed bonds and feelings that she couldn’t let go of no matter what. So Shirley’s answer was very important to her.
Shirley’s figure of light seemed to see Adele’s thoughts and quickly waved her hand. “No, no! How can there be such a powerful force that can be obtained by abandoning emotions!”
“It’s better to say that even if there was, it would definitely have been nipped in the bud by me~”
“Phew...” Adele let out a long sigh of relief. She almost forgot, Shirley herself was the most ancient and supreme harem master. The “Tao” she chose would never be “killing one’s wife to prove the Tao”!
“That’s good. Except for them, I have nothing I can’t give up.”
“Yes! That’s the kind of awareness I want!” Shirley’s figure of light suddenly moved. She slowly took a step, and then walked directly into Adele’s body!
Their bodies merged perfectly. At the same time, the girl’s last voice came from Adele’s mind.
“Then, be prepared to inherit my ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) ‘Tao’.”
“Find the answer for me.”
“Understand what it means to be human~”
“The Adele I long to see.”
“!?” Why did you know this name! They hadn’t even introduced themselves to each other!
There was no time to ask this question. Adele felt Shirley’s magic power rapidly dissipating in her body. At the same time, the girl’s magic circuits also dissipated. They gradually lost their shape and energy fluctuations, like ice melting into water, completely dissipating in Adele’s body.
The girl’s consciousness suddenly returned to reality! Still on the balcony, under the bright moonlight. But Adele could no longer feel even a trace of elemental fluctuation from the surroundings.
“...” It seemed that she had lost the ability to use magic.
