Yes, love can save humanity.

What needs to be done has been done, and what remains is the individual's own dying struggle!

Since it is a treasure that belongs to oneself alone, it should naturally have a name that one can think of.

Charles tightly grasped the false divine spear that was forged from his own life, his own future, and his own possibilities, but it was already beginning to fade and gradually dissipate.

Since they are all imitations of the Storm Anchor, let's give it a name with the same format.

“The Spear Shining in the Sky——!”

Charles raised the fake divine spear and fell from the sky.

Azure magic power surged out from the fake divine spear and enveloped Charles' body.

At this very moment, his own divine spear fell from the sky and he launched a desperate charge against the Star of Disaster that was shining like the Sun!

no doubt.

After losing his divinity and consuming a large amount of magic power, there is only one ending waiting for Charles.

That is, true death.

however.

Like the colorful light of the rainbow bridge that led the gods and giants to battle during Ragnarok, it crossed half of Northern Europe and arrived between the Shire and Surut.

Then, rays of light composed of treasures, under the guidance of the rainbow, like gathered thoughts, continuously impacted the star of disaster rising from the ground, reducing and deflecting the power that was enough to destroy the world.

"How can this be?!"

"My Noble Phantasm...is weakening?"

On the ground, Surut, whose body was nailed by the divine spear, looked at everything happening in front of him in disbelief, and roared unwillingly: "No——!"

"This is really... I was saved by everyone."

Looking at the rays of light from the Noble Phantasms, Ciel laughed from the bottom of his heart and turned into a blue meteor.

then.

The meteor, which thought itself to be alone, was helped by the gathered light and pierced through the flames of destruction.

No explosion, no flash.

All the impacts were swallowed up and eliminated by the light of people and stars that protected the sky and the earth at the moment of explosion.

It was as if dusk had never come.

Only in Charles' ears was there an echo that came from nowhere.

"I recognize you."

"Next time, don't make the same mistake again"

Charles knew whose voice it was.

But none of that matters now.

It seems that I won this time.

The hero who had defeated the world-destroying attack and burned his heart and soul to protect the world of his loved ones with all his strength, descended from the sky to the ground and came before the defeated Fire Giant King.

"What are you going to do with me?" Sulut, who had completely lost his will to fight and was as hopeless as death, said resignedly, "Kill me, or torture me slowly?"

"Let the Nordic people decide what to do with you." Seeing Surut's resigned look, Charles lost interest and said, "All I want to do is get some compensation from you."

After saying that, Charles staggered to Surut's broken left hand.

The Demonic Sword of Destruction held tightly by the broken arm seemed to be in deep sleep at this moment, no longer emitting light or heat.

"......" After listening to Charles' words, Surut suddenly felt uneasy and asked, "What are you going to do?"

However, Charles ignored Surut's shouting.

He raised his magic spear, and the azure light instantly washed over Surut's broken arm, crushing it into dust.

Ciel reached out and touched the hilt of the Sword of Fire.

In an instant, the flaming sword, which was originally much larger than Charles himself, turned into light and poured into his body.

"My authority, my Levatin!"

Unwilling to give up, Surut wanted to roar, but after the light belonging to the Sword of Fire was completely integrated into Charles' body, he fell into a state of shutdown like a broken machine.

Immediately afterwards, the body of the Fire Giant King began to shrink and become smaller.

Ciel used all his strength to stand up from the goddess's arms and staggered towards Surut.

At this moment, the Fire Giant King has lost his domineering aura and has become just an ordinary Fire Giant.

[You have obtained the Noble Phantasm "Sword of the Sun, Like a Disaster (A)"]

The power to destroy the world has been seized, and the true "Twilight" has finally ended.

My mission is accomplished.

The subsequent survival issue will depend on themselves.

After completing all the goals, Charles, exhausted, closed his eyes and fell backwards.

There was no expected pain of pouring into the earth.

The King of the Lostbelt, who had accomplished everything, fell into the arms of the Queen whose power he had usurped.

With the blessing of divine power, the unconscious Charles regained consciousness.

The moment he opened his eyes, Charles saw the goddess with tears in her eyes and wounds all over her body.

I didn’t expect that in the end, we would actually need to say goodbye?

This is really...a happy trouble.

Looking at the sad goddess, Charles pulled the corners of his mouth hard, smiled and said, "I won."

"Well, you win."

"As a blessing bestowed upon the victor, can you give me some reward, goddess?"

Seeing the person she liked blinking and looking playful, Skadi held back her tears and said, "What do you want?"

"I really want a lot of things... but for now, let's keep it simple." Ciel said with a smile, "Can you give the winner a gentle lap pillow, my goddess?"

"Pfft..." Skadi couldn't help but laugh after hearing Ciel's request and asked, "You can obviously promise more, but now you only want this?"

"If you want to do more bad things, you need more strength, right? For now, this is enough for me."

"You really don't hide your desires... But even my heart belongs to you, so you can do as you wish."

The Ice and Snow Goddess knelt on the ground, picked up the exhausted body of the victor, and brought rewards to her beloved as required.

"This is really..."

Charles turned his head and looked in the direction of the goddess. What he saw was a mountain range wrapped in an elegant and beautiful purple robe, full of beautiful curves, and a beautiful face with only scarlet eyes visible.

Looking at the eyes that were no longer clouded but filled with sadness, Charles asked with a smile: "My goddess, has your cage disappeared?"

"Yes, my warrior."

"My prison, my pain, my sorrow, everything I have built over the past three thousand years..." Skadi also smiled and responded, "You have destroyed them all."

"That's great." Ciel said with a smile, "In that case, I only have one thing left to do."

Ciel reached out and touched Skadi's face.

Like we are in sync.

The goddess embraced her beloved's waist and responded to his request.

With lips full of love.

however.

The moment their lips touched, the victor of dusk immediately stretched out his hands and firmly grasped the goddess' shoulders, preventing her from making any struggle.

"Well--"

Skadi widened her eyes and looked at her cunning lover in disbelief.

Just as Skadi was about to say something, she felt her lips being quickly pried open.

Then, the remaining divine energy flowed into Skadi's body along with the invader that broke through her teeth, repairing her broken body and restoring her strength.

"You've been fooled, Skadi!"

"I won't die here!" Charles said with a smile when their lips parted, "So don't even think about committing suicide for love!"

"...So..." Skadi said softly, "Did you find out?"

"Your intentions are too obvious. If you want to deceive me, practice for a few more years!"

"Ciel..." Skadi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ciel before she could finish her words.

"Listen." Ciel smiled and said, "I'm from another Lostbelt. I won't tell you where exactly."

"Then, if nothing unexpected happens, I will probably go to other Lostbelts to cause trouble in the future."

"If you want to die, you can die here. However, I will not feel sad for your love suicide..."

"Because I'm going to another Lostbelt to pick up girls soon." At this point, Ciel showed a sly smirk, "Come and catch me if you dare."

"Otherwise, I would have to start a family and build a career in another world."

"Goodbye, goddess. I'm going to find a new love!"

After making extremely excessive remarks with great joy, Charles, knowing that he was courting death, did not give Skadi any time to react. He directly disconnected the divine spear that was connected to his life and said goodbye before his death.

"What is this..." Looking at the disappeared figure and the echo lingering in her ears, Skadi muttered to herself, "Give me... a reason to live?"

It's obvious that you were tricked, so you should be angry.

but...

Skadi closed her eyes, placed her hands on her chest, and smiled unconsciously.

"In that case... then let me catch you."

Those who take the initiative to leave the cage and chase the light they love are more worthy of being loved by the light.

Chapter 47: Woo woo woo, can I go back to Northern Europe?

“The world in spring is so beautiful.”

The sun is warm and the breeze is pleasant.

The village in the distance was no longer blocked by walls, and animals that had become scarce reappeared.

Frozen ice flames, dilapidated ruins, and diffuse smoke...everything related to dusk has faded away, and the stagnant world has resumed operation.

Everything is in order and harmony.

The three thousand years of winter has passed, and the spring that she had pieced together and beautified in her dreams with the help of worn-out memories has finally arrived in the Nordic land.

Skadi stood on the top of Mount Garh, looking out at the Nordic world after dusk, with a smile on her face.

This dream world really makes people feel happy and want to cry.

"Sir Skadi, I am leaving here with Miss Gaoyanskaya." Ophelia appeared from behind Skadi and said apologetically, "Please forgive me for not being able to take you with me."

"Ophelia, you don't have to mind so much."

Skadi stretched out her hand, and visible divine energy condensed from her palm, transforming into ice flowers that floated towards the Tower at the End, stabilizing the foundation of the Lostbelt.

After Ciel defeated "Dusk" and saved the Nordic world, the Nordic Lostbelt collapsed and began to transform into a singularity.

It won't be long before the storm wall surrounding the Lostbelt will be demolished, and Nordic life will be accepted by the "world" and become life that can survive in pan-human history.

Now Northern Europe has new gods and no longer needs Skadi to maintain and rule.

However, she couldn't do that yet.

"The fantasy trees in the Lostbelt are the anchors that maintain the sky, and they are the nodes that connect to each other."

"Now, the Fantasy Tree in our world has been demolished before it has successfully grown. This will inevitably alert other Lostbelts and even the apostles of the Alien God."

"What you need to do most now is to get to your destination before the news leaks out and prepare for the next battle." Skadi said calmly: "At this critical juncture, it is indeed not a wise choice to bring along a conspicuous former king of the Lostbelt."

"...But..."
