Edge of the Apocalypse

It was dark.

Alice's body curled up together. Only by hugging her tightly would she feel that the world wasn't that empty, and she would feel that there was a trace of existence in it. She buried her head between her arms and muttered, "Naboo, I love that child. But is it wrong for me to want to kill him when he wants to deal with an adult? Alice can't understand. What am I going to do, my lord? Please teach me …"

"You just need to stay there and don't move!"

In the darkness, Alice raised her head, her face filled with confusion.

Gradually, there was a trace of light in the darkness. Then the light gradually grew stronger. It was bright and warm, just like the morning when the man left years ago. Alice moved and slowly raised her hand. 'Is that you, my lord?'

"Give me your hand, Alice. If you hear me, give me your hand!" That voice was so loud and clear that it was enough to disperse all the haze.

'"Yes, my lord," said Alice with a relieved smile. "If it was an adult, Alice would do whatever she wanted."

She stretched out her hand in the darkness and looked into the light.

Then someone grabbed her, a warm and powerful hand, and pulled Alice out of the darkness with all his might in the light. Alice's face was full of smiles, as if welcoming the man's return. Then, she felt as if she had passed through something. Finally, she saw him.

Her hair was also silver-gray, and her face was similarly handsome and young. Years passed, as if time could not leave a trace on his body.

"My lord …"

Alice cried with joy and hugged him tightly, feeling the strong heartbeat in his chest and the warmth on his body. All this was telling her that he was back.

Alan hugged Alice.

In the spiritual world, Alan knew that the time had come when his interrogation had caused Alice to fall into conflict. When he opened his eyes again in the material world, he saw that Empress Garde was motionless. Alan directly used the Anthem of Destruction to make a hole in the Queen's chest armor and smoothly entered her chest. Alice was still unconscious. He cut open the living tissue that wrapped around Alice and finally pulled her out.

However, it was clear that Alice mistook him for someone. Alan could not care less as he carried her naked and mucus-soaked away from Queen Garde. Alan hurriedly took off his coat and put it on for Alice. Next, she waited, waiting for Alice to wake up. Alan didn't have to wait too long. A few minutes later, Alice's consciousness began to recover. After leaving Queen Garde, her mind seemed to have returned to normal, at least her eyes weren't as crazy as before.

When she saw Alan clearly, she felt a little disappointed in her heart, but the request that the creator had made to her back then was as clear as the words in her ears. She did not forget these things, only selectively. It was as if as long as this was the case, it was as if the creator would come back. But now she knew that the Creator would never come back, because the other Twilight Seed was right in front of her eyes.

"How are you doing?" Alan probed.

Alice closed her eyes and sighed, "It feels like a dream. A nightmare."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that." Ellen withdrew the Shatter hymn.

Alice opened her eyes and said, "So, did Spenak really leave?"

"Yes." "He launched a war against Edward not long ago and plotted against a lot of people, including me. The goal was to take something from Adahua Planet, and I don't know what he's going to take now. After all, he left the empire behind and I'm running Demonic Shadow Empire now," said Allen.

"It really looks like his style." Alice tightened her tight coat and stood up, buttoning it up in front of Ellen, as if she intended to take it for granted: 'The boy is always happy with new things, and the empire is nothing more than a toy in his eyes, and he's tired of it, isn't he?' There's only one thing I'm sure about. After so many years, he's still gathering information about the creator. So what he took from Adahua Planet must have something to do with it. "

'"Alice, you should understand now. The creator is the Twilight Seed, just like me. As far as I know, if I were here, then the Twilight Seed that created you should …"

"I shouldn't be coming back. In fact, I know better than anyone else. I just don't want to admit it." '"After all, women are the best at deceiving people, including themselves," said Alice self-deprecatingly.

She pointed to the depths of the wilderness: "The Canon-Hermes is a legacy left behind by the Creator. According to his instructions, this legacy will be left to his descendants."

"Me?" Alan pointed at himself.

Alice shook her head, "No, the time the creator said has not yet come, so you are the Twilight Seed, but I will leave it to you."

Alan thought of Angeloni. Could it be that the creator meant to leave the inheritance to the fully awakened Son of Twilight? What was that for?

At this moment, Empress Garde moved and let out a low cry. 'You're right,' said Alice, raising her head. 'The power of Canon Black Gate should have been transferred to the descendants of the Creator when the time came. I used it for my own selfishness. Now I have to make up for it. At the very least, the Queen must return to her original place and wait for her awakening.'

She walked towards Queen Garde.

"Wait."

"It is OK." Alice turned her head and said, "I won't be affected by the Queen anymore. After I let her fall asleep again, she will go back to the castle. Before that, can you wait for me at the castle?"

"Alright, since you said so," Alan thought for a moment and asked, "Alice, does the creator look very much like me? You seem to have mistaken me just now."

"Yeah, it's very similar. After all, you have the same gene." Alice smiled, "Thank you so much for the hug. It saved me."

"If a hug can save you, I don't mind hugging you a few more times."

On this day, the swarm of insects that had invaded many cities on the southern route suddenly evacuated at the same time. Due to the large number of insects that had gathered, Devlin, who had originally planned to chase after them, could only give up on this idea. Although the general did not know what had happened, he instinctively felt that it should be related to Alan.

Allen and Tong Wu returned to the castle. When the generals waiting for news saw them, they immediately surrounded them and kept asking questions. Tong Wu stood silently at the side. Alan smiled and said, "You should ask Alice these questions when she comes back."

Hearing this, the generals finally felt relieved. Alan's words were undoubtedly telling them that Alice would come back. There was nothing more inspiring than this. Sure enough, three days later, Alice returned to the castle. However, when they saw her jump off a Martian mantis barefoot, the generals' expressions were unnatural.
