The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Why is it only now that I've finally seen fate clearly?

She hugged his body tightly, wanting to meld her body into his, and released her emotions to the fullest.

Even so, divinity is like poison.

Even if the road ahead is full of thorns.

Even if you forget me.

【I love you.】

Why did it take so long to say this?

It's such a shame that the next time we meet, we'll be strangers again.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

This is the only way.

Taking a deep breath, she hugged him and spoke in a soft, melodious voice:

You bear unforgivable sins; only the deepest hell can be your final resting place.

You are an apostle favored by the gods, yet you are a fallen one who has betrayed their trust.

You are an incurable rebel, a disruptive force that should be eliminated.

Suddenly, her deep tone changed, and a brilliant light shone in her eyes.

No matter what crimes you have committed, no matter what vows you have broken, no matter what choice you ultimately make...

The child's bloodshot eyes, burning like flames, were filled not with anger, but with an unyielding love.

she says:

I will be by your side, either watching you achieve victory or watching you walk towards death.

Until the very end.

Let's work hard! Let's pull them off their thrones! I look forward to that day!

[The first and the last "prophet," I forgive all your sins.]

She forced herself to break free from the warm embrace and cupped his dazed face in her hands.

I will carry the burden of the past, but the future is entrusted to you.

I will bear all your sins, while you will walk the loneliest journey alone.

Consider this your punishment for not seeing me; everything is now in your hands.

I'm waiting for you to come and save me.

But before that...

Gently, she finally kissed those lips.

Extreme light burst forth from them.

No, that was not light.

Instead, her body swallowed all the darkness.

【Good night.】

Chapter 524 Self-Awareness

The darkness that had enveloped everything vanished completely.

The woman disappeared, and in her place appeared a black cat with scarlet eyes.

The black cat's eyes were full of confusion; it didn't know why it was there, nor had it remembered what had just happened.

She glanced at the man who remained standing there, and then vanished in the blink of an eye.

From then on, the world had one more black cat, wandering endlessly in the darkness, searching for dawn.

She didn't know what she was looking for, nor did she remember why she was looking for it; she only remembered that it seemed to be something very important.

She tirelessly searches for light in the darkness.

They await his rescue.

……

I once had a dream that was neither a dream nor a dream.

The bright sun went out, and the stars wandered aimlessly in the dim, eternal void.

[No light, no path, the frozen sphere spins blindly, shrouded in gloom under the moonless sky;]

Morning comes and goes—but daylight never arrives;

People forget their passion in the face of the fear of isolation.

Those cold, frosty hearts selfishly beg for dawn...

……

The dark cage shattered, and light returned.

"........."

After a long period of confusion, Ning Feng raised his hand and touched his lips.

You can still smell the faint fragrance left on it, as well as the lingering warmth and soft touch.

So... my first kiss was actually here?

With a strange expression on his face, Ning Feng kept blinking, and in the end, he could only sigh in admiration.

"You actually sneaked away to this extent, who can beat you?"

Great.

This is something most people really can't win against.

"I really can't compare to you, Ariana."

Ariana, that wicked woman who never hides her black heart but has never harmed Ning Feng.

Yes, it was the person he loved but never explicitly stated.

"So, you came along too..."

Ning Feng remembered.

I remember everything.

All the memories sealed deep within him awakened, including why he went to the City of Watchers and why he was here in the first place.

And the figure that pushed him away and then lunged at him.

Ariana remained true to her word—she would always be by his side.

"It's really... I don't know what to say."

Is this a reflection of the past? Is it a memory left behind in the hand of God?

No, it's not.

After experiencing so much, Ning Feng already knew the answer to this question.

"This is the past."

The river of time began to cycle at a certain point, bringing him back to this point in time a thousand years later.

“I am not anyone’s reincarnation; I am the original prophet.”

The process of self-awareness is very short; a conclusion is reached in just a few breaths.

"........."

As he sorted out his chaotic thoughts, Ning Feng raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly becoming someone you once admired—this disorienting feeling is truly peculiar.

However, Ning Feng did not have the kind of resistance that made him unable to accept this reality.

He's used to it.

More than a decade has passed since he awoke in the dungeon.

Not to mention, if all the time spent in the cycle of death and reincarnation were added up, Ning Feng's time in the "past" would far exceed the more than twenty years in the "future".

The countless deaths accumulated over a period of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

If we had to assign a priority, Ning Feng in the future could never surpass his past self.

But such calculations are meaningless.

Because Ning Feng was very clear about his own identity.

He is who he is, a member of the Watchmen and the leader of the Prophets.

Both of them are him, and there is no difference in essence.

"Moreover, we can't let her sacrifices go to waste."

As for the true nature of the "miserable" fate that Ariana entrusted to him, Ning Feng had already understood.

"What a tragic fate."

Thinking about what he needed to do next, Ning Feng smiled and shook his head.

"However, it's impossible to refuse."

"Sleeping Beauty is waiting for me."
