Deep Sea Embers

A roar louder than thunder and more terrifying than a landslide reverberated between the two worlds. This roar repeatedly trembled between the two earths hanging upside down, and even dispersed the sea of ​​​​fire around Silendis. The smoke and clouds penetrated the tranquility brought by the "Silent Wall" and alarmed Lucretia and her party who were taking a short rest.

Shirley jumped up from the ground almost instantly. She subconsciously looked up in the direction of the roar and shouted, "What the hell exploded?! What the hell?"

"Look up there!" Nina ran to the edge of the sheltering light curtain, looking up at the upside-down desert continent in the sky and pointing in a certain direction, "There's a big explosion there!"

Shirley looked in the direction of Nina's finger, her eyes widening little by little.

On the upside-down continent, she saw a raging storm. The vague storm clouds passed over the earth like a moving wall, and large-scale flashes of light could be seen in the storm. Every time With a burst of light, the storm itself seemed to be briefly dispersed, and a terrifying roar echoed between the two worlds - before the storm reformed, coalescing once more into a bright flame.

In these bombardments and explosions, the matter of the "other world" has been thrown between the two worlds. Countless sand and dust are floating in the sky above Silantis at this moment, as if there is no gravity in the two worlds. The gaps between the worlds flowed disorderly, forming rivers of quicksand floating in the sky, as well as large and small dust clouds.

The slow collision process of the two worlds has stopped at some point, as if some external force has forcibly "stuck" the process. There is only this continuous roar left between the heaven and the earth, and the matter that is constantly being thrown out between the two earths is In the process, an increasingly larger "cloud" is formed.

"We can't stay here any longer," Morris said suddenly. "Maybe there's something going on with Vanna - she can't be contacted from just now."

"Then where are we going?" Shirley raised her hand and pointed to another world above her head, "I don't have any objection, but how are we going to get there? The paper boat Lucretia folded before has already landed in 'When it turned into ashes..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lucretia had already pulled out a piece of white paper from nowhere and waved it in front of everyone: "I still have paper here, I will fold another one."

Shirley stared blankly at the white paper that the witch lady took out, with a slightly subtle expression on her face: "Still... are you still folding it with paper? Isn't there a stronger way?"

Lucretia thought for a while and took out another piece of paper from her arms.

"I put two on top of each other."

Shirley obviously still thinks this is a bit unreliable, but she can't beat anyone, so she smartly and cautiously reserves her opinion - and under her and Agou's cautious attention, Lucretia has already A new paper boat was thrown over the barrier.

The paper boat quickly grew in size and stretched in mid-air, turning into a white boat in the blink of an eye, floating outside the translucent light curtain like a light cloud.

Nina stared at this scene dumbfounded, and finally couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's amazing! How did you do this?! Can I learn it?"

"I suggest you not be too interested in the witch's tricks," Lucretia glanced at Nina, who was full of envy, waved her hands and walked towards the barrier, "At this stage, you should first learn mathematics, physics and chemistry. It’s a little useful…”

Nina pursed her lips with a subtle expression, then raised her head and looked at the unrecognizable world outside the barrier.

She took a gentle breath and looked back at the small tree supporting the last wall of silence.

Two seconds later, she and Shirley waved their hands to the small tree and said goodbye softly.

A moment later, the paper-folded boat rose silently into the sky, carrying a group of people quickly away from the scorched earth and flying towards another world hanging upside down at the end of the sky.

Shirley lay on the edge of the boat, looking down at the forest gradually covered by darkness and smoke, watching the small cone-shaped light curtain gradually disappear into the depths of the smoke, and finally disappeared after several flashes. Missing, it took a long time before I couldn't help but whisper softly: "Can we see that tree again?"

"No, everything here will eventually dissipate - and this is the best outcome for the real world," Lucretia's voice came from the side, with an almost inhuman calmness and reason. , "This is just a part of the memory of the elven race. Everything here has perished in an extremely long time ago. Sirandis, Shireen, Sasluoka... a long time ago, they had already died."

"...I know, I know," Shirley waved her hands a little irritably, with a hint of complaint in her tone, "It's okay if I don't say it so clearly. I'm just feeling a little emotional..."

Lucretia ignored Shirley's subsequent thoughts. She just carefully controlled the small boat made of paper, and soon turned her attention from the forest below to the World Tree in the distance.

Although the slow collision of the two worlds has temporarily stopped, the collapse of Sirandis is still continuing - the huge canopy that once covered the sky has now been completely burned by the sea of ​​fire flowing in the sky, and has become a criss-crossing flame. There were horrific wrecks, and the remaining fire was still flowing on the winding branches like a mountain. Some of the flames had even spread to the scope of "another world".

But the flames that spread over seemed to be blocked by something. They could only float over the desert and could not really touch the world.

Thunderous sounds came from the direction of Silantis, and the collapse of the World Tree gradually reached its peak.

The tree crowns burned by the flames began to break off in pieces, hitting the earth like a giant city falling from the clouds. The mountains were torn apart in the collapse of the World Tree, and the ravines and canyons were gradually filled with the ashes of the giant trees. , covered with smoke and dust, Silantis is gradually turning into the same posture as when Nina and Maurice first met.

The boat gradually approached the critical point between the two worlds.

"Everyone, be careful, there may be a gravity overturn later," Morris reminded aloud, "Don't panic, hold on to the side of the ship."

Nina and Shirley reacted immediately and grabbed the edge of the paper boat very obediently. Agou also used his paws to tightly grasp the raised structure formed by the creases in the paper boat.

Lucretia was preparing for the gravity flip while carefully controlling the paper boat to continue to rise.

However, just when she was ready for everything, a huge sense of crisis suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart!

There's an attack!

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Lucretia suddenly controlled the boat and dodged to the side - but her response was a step too late. The next second, a sudden light suddenly appeared in the air. Although Just a little bit, the edge of the paper boat was instantly torn apart and ignited by the light!

And the next moment, endless brilliance appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

That is the intertwined light, some kind of barrier hidden in the gap between the two worlds. When the uninvited guest tries to approach the desert world, this hidden barrier is revealed - those intertwined lights are bright and pure, like sunlight. Brilliant, but with blazing malice and some kind of crazy and twisted terrifying aura.

This magnificent light curtain was surging in the sky, and the flames rising from the edge of the light curtain were like a heavy rain falling from the sky, overwhelmingly falling on the rickety little paper boat!

In the "heavy rain" of flames and strong light, Shirley and Agou said in unison: "What the hell is this?!"

"...It's the power of the creeping sun disk!" Lucretia had already distinguished the familiar and blasphemous atmosphere from the floating light curtain. She hurriedly controlled the boat to lower its height and said quickly, "I will You know...the Children of the Sun got in, and that thing blocked the sky!"

Before she finished speaking, a dazzling flash of light suddenly flashed across everyone's eyes.

The flash nearly tore the entire paper boat apart.

The torn paper boat lost control and began to stagger to the ground.

Shirley immediately hugged Agou's neck and shouted, "I can't fly!"

Her exclamation echoed in the sky, but at this moment, a strange huge tearing and rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, interrupting her voice.

The weird sound even seemed to silence the whole world.

In the swaying and falling paper boat, Lucretia opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked in the direction of the strange sound.

That's the trunk of Silantes.

There was a ripping roar coming from somewhere at the base of the tree trunk.

The ground was trembling, and cracks that were visible to the naked eye from this distance appeared on the surface of the tree trunk that looked like a huge mountain. The next second, the crack suddenly expanded, and blazing green flames burst out from it!

Amidst the rapidly expanding spiritual flames, a huge shadow emerged from the tree trunks of Silantes - first the majestic bow, then the high mast and translucent spiritual sail, and then the broad The deck, the neatly arranged gunports and the towering stern...

It was the Homeless Ship that had been completely transformed into a spiritual form. Now it tore apart the remains of Silantis and entered the world from near the roots of the World Tree.

Then, it began to rise all the way, flying over the scorched earth, flying over the still-burning forest, sailing in this unrecognizable and torn world, and heading towards higher places.

Ghost ships sail through the apocalyptic skies.

The illusory spiritual flames were like foam and wakes rippling on the sea, rippling and spreading behind the stern of the ship, covering and saturating the sea of ​​fire spreading around Selendis, as if they were gradually igniting the whole world again.
