Chapter 1676 Supporting each other and moving closer together

Facing the move made by the Supreme Prince, Hebi asked back seriously, holding his chin.

"Do I have any regrets?"

"Audrey became the Queen of Arcadia, lifted the curse on the Arcadian people, and finally understood the love that came from the moon."

"I became the president of [Hermes's Traveling Hat] and fulfilled my dream."

"I also made countless true friends, and even had a good vacation before the end of the world. I really don't know what I'm missing."

"I mean Blaze."

The Supreme Prince nodded towards Marika who was waving a spear not far away. The red-haired girl did not feel the slightest bit impatient about staying here doing nothing, and she was concentrating on her exercise as if she were doing her daily homework.

Even though she has reached that level where it is no longer necessary, she still does not slack off at all.

Hebe shook his head, put away the chessboard, and asked the soldier to take a step forward, smiling brightly.

"That's all I have to hope for. I've already gotten too much. I'm even sure that if this world is really going to be annihilated by the power of the saltwater Tiamat, we will definitely be together at the last moment."

"I am already flattered to be his strength. Helping him and saving him is something that even I find insatiable."

"Really? I was abrupt."

The Supreme Prince chuckled, then spoke meaningfully as if he had realized something.

"You know what? Some trials won't begin until you succeed, get your reward, and achieve what you want."

"Just like the test of a king only begins after he becomes king."

Hebi turned his head and looked towards the lotus pond. The silence on the river surface was broken by ripples and nine lotus flowers were swaying.

The last lotus flower that was missing from the complete circle of ten that they surrounded emerged from the water and bloomed with brilliant light.

Hebie stood up slowly and looked sideways at Marika, who was not only in no hurry, but also in the mood to make a joke.

"Is it yours?"

Upon hearing this, Marika pinched her chin and stared at the tenth lotus. After staring until her eyes narrowed, she shook her head seriously.

“I don’t have any desires to accomplish anything through it.”

"It seems that I'm the only greedy one here." Hebie put her hands in her pockets and walked into the lotus pond. After a few steps, the water reached her chest, and she was still quite a distance away from the lotus.

She could feel her feet sinking into the mud at the bottom of the lotus pond. The water was so cold that if she took a few more steps she would be drowned.

She gritted her teeth. This might just be the insignificant first step of the trial. She had to hold on.

Just as she was about to take another step forward, a gust of wind blew across her face and blew up her hair.

She subconsciously looked up at the sky, and at a height that she could see, a familiar shadow flew by.

They flew slowly, as if they were traveling.

"Haha~" Herbie couldn't help laughing, and immediately waved his arms and yelled, "Help! I'm drowning, gurgle——"

As soon as she started to blow air into the water, she heard a sound of breaking air in her ears. Then a pair of hands came through her armpits from behind and gently pulled her out of the lotus pond.

It was as if he was always watching her from behind, and the sense of security that he could rescue her immediately if she was in danger, and the delicate feeling that he could easily crush rocks but not let her feel any pain when he held her body tightly. It was exactly the same.

Hebie chuckled and felt a bit of a headache. Some people who were similar could never be together, while others could be extremely close and have such a tacit understanding that there was no room for interference.

She turned her head and saw Marika's hair burning like flames. Just by looking at it, the coldness in her body was dispelled a lot.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay." Herbie shook his head and touched his nose. "I can't walk there by myself, so I hope someone can help me."

"Yeah." Marika didn't ask, held Hebie in her arms, and walked towards the tenth lotus step by step.

Hebie looked at Marika's profile and felt a little helpless. Normally, he would definitely ask if it was really okay for him to help in this trial, but Marika said nothing.

This is undivided focus and trust, which is sometimes quite frustrating as she can't say many things.

“It really looks like that~”

"what?"

"Nothing much. I asked myself, is it really okay to ask for help from others to conduct a trial like this? And I have an answer."

Hebie supported Marika and looked straight at Lotus, as if he was talking to himself, to Marika, and to Lotus.

"I don't want to be a completely independent existence. I want to be the one who supports people."

"If I am not qualified to possess this great power, then let me share it with someone else."

"What!?" Marika's pupils trembled, as if she had heard something incredible. "I thought people were made up of two people who supported each other."

"No, in modern society, one person lies down and the other holds up the body. Because the person holding up the body seems to be able to control the person lying down, so I choose to be the one holding up the body."

Herbie said with a relaxed expression after making a joke.

"Let's go. This journey might unexpectedly take a long time."

"Ok!"

……

[G] Late at night in the company, the sound of keyboards typing never ceases. The geniuses are staying up late for the first time in a long time. Instead of feeling uncomfortable, they are getting more and more excited, just like when they were doing research together in the past.

The salty sea water Tiamat is like a big stone. They did not design this BOSS because strictly speaking Tiamat has no form, it is just an environment, so it is unknown what abilities Tiamat possesses.

But this gave them inspiration instead. In other words, as long as they gave Tiamat a physical form and turned her into a BOSS, there was still a possibility of victory.

So what they have to do now is to constantly gather players and attract new ones. As for whether to [step down] to help the players, their choice is [not to do so].

Their help means telling players that everything can be solved with one button, and the emotions they put in are just a game.

As long as there is one time, there will be a second time and a third time. Even if this doomsday is over, the real doomsday will come sooner or later.

Besides, who says players can’t win?

"Players, please fight for this world until the last moment."
