She succeeded, not only was she promoted to [Star Flame], but she also contained the complete [Pure White Flame].

When she realized this, boundless fatigue came over her, and Perlis felt her whole body go limp.

She and Carly collapsed on the dais and fell into a deep sleep.

Ending) Flame of the Star (Part 2)

"It seems... there is movement...?"

Mei Xinghui looked around in the bridge. She felt a faint vibration coming from the floor, as if the entire "Blue Reef" was shaking.

"Is it an engine problem?" Grissom checked the dashboard. "It's possible that the hull was damaged in the attack just now. In that case..."

"No, it's not the boat. I felt it, too."

A lazy female voice came from the radio channel. It was Miss Aoi's sister.

"Ms. Lian? You mean..."

"It's not the ship that's shaking, it's the sea that's shaking."

Directly above the Blue Reef, the hovering shuttle was constantly detecting the source of the earthquake, searching for the cause of the turbulence.

She stared at the screen, her slender fingers tapping the console as fast as a whirlwind, but suddenly stopped at a certain moment:

"Is it... the direction of Black Island...?"

"What do you mean?" Gleason was a little anxious when he heard it, "What happened to Hei Dao? Is my sister okay? Can we..."

"Don't worry, my sister is also on it," Lian said impatiently, "It looks like it's...sinking? No, it's not the entire Black Island that's sinking, only a part of it..."

In the image display that Lian scanned with factor energy waves, she witnessed the separation of Black Island with her own eyes.

Under the pull of some strange force, the lower and upper parts of the Black Island gradually separated, and then were slowly dragged into the deep sea.

This series of changes made the entire sea tremble. The originally calm waves began to become turbulent, and ominous clouds began to gather in the sky, with flashes of red lightning.

"...Why? Why did the lower part of the Black Island suddenly break away?"

Lian quickly adjusted the parameters, wanting to conduct further investigation, but she only heard a "click" sound -

"Eh!?"

Lian was startled—her electronic screen suddenly exploded, and broken glass splattered everywhere.

"how come..."

She stared blankly at the broken screen, then glanced at the distant sea shrouded in white mist, and felt a roar accumulating in the space that was coming in waves.

The roar seemed to be mixed with an excessive amount of information, causing Lian to involuntarily feel the fear seeping into her soul.

Ankamouth Underground Spring - Sea Mist Island - Dila Islands

"..."

The girl with cherry-colored eyes looked at the outline in the center of the black spring with a sad expression, holding the Kagura bell tightly in her hand.

She had never expected that Ibuki Rin would be defeated, let alone such a tragic defeat.

[Falling Cherry Blossom Sword] is a sword that can cut off an ironclad ship with one strike, but it has ended up like this.

"..."

Ayane was waiting alone by the lake. She kept watching the figure rising and falling in the spring, repeatedly creating ripples on the black diamond-like water surface.

After a long, long time, just when Ayane was about to be overcome by fatigue, the sound of something cutting through the water was heard -

——Ibuki Rin slowly floated up from the spring, her clothes were torn, her long, soft black hair was draped messily over her repaired shoulders, and her blood-red eyes looked somewhat empty.

The girl immediately spotted Ayane waiting by the spring. She glided on the water and soon reached the shore. Seeing this, Ayane immediately went over to her:

"cold!"

Ayane anxiously draped a robe over Ibuki Rin's shoulders. She seldom felt her inner guard so weak. Her blood-red eyes, which were usually as calm as water, now seemed a little out of focus, which made people's hearts ripple.

"how are you feeling?"

"My strength is fading," Ibuki Rin said weakly, "The resurrection of [Inmotarus] is approaching."

"Suleiman... achieved his goal?"

"Not completely. He failed to devour the Pure White Flame," Ibuki Rin's breath was very weak, "but he has already pulled all the remains of Inmotarus into the Underworld..."

Having said this, Ibuki Rin placed a hand on Ayane's cheek, with a gleam in her bloodshot eyes.

In an instant, bits of information flowed into Ayane's consciousness, constantly weaving together pictures.

The cherry-colored eyes were slightly startled, and Ayane, who had learned the truth, opened her mouth slightly, as if she was a little bit unbelievable:

"The essence of Black Island is the symbiosis of the remains of [Inmotarus] and [White Flame Star]..."

"And now... the part of the body belonging to [Inmotalus] was pulled into the [underworld] by Suleiman... There are 2/7 fragments of the authority of [Engraved Ink] hidden in it..."

"The medium to accomplish this is the [Black Emblem], which also contains 2/7 of the authority fragments of [Engraved Ink], so it can greatly manipulate the power of the [Netherworld]..."

"From the conclusion, the ancient god is inevitably awakening. The [Black Angel] has already regained 4/7 of his godhood, and only the final 3/7 is needed..."

"...Then, He will awaken..."

After learning all this information, Ayane raised her head and stared blankly at Ibuki Rin:

"Just let me know about this... okay?"

"You have grown up, little princess," Ibuki Rin smiled softly, which was rare for her, "and you can now take the helm and set sail."

"But, I..."

Akihara Ayane's voice choked. She closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing deeply, and fiercely suppressed the girlish side of herself that rarely appeared.

After a long time, she opened her calm eyes and asked:

"Is this Laplace's purpose? He wants to revive the ancient god? But why?"

"...He is a descendant of Odin. Maybe he wants to conquer the stars. Maybe he wants to be immortal. But it doesn't matter..."

Ibuki Rin said this and took a deep breath, the light in her eyes gradually dimming.

"As long as [Immortalus] wakes up, civilization will be reduced to ruins. Even if Mother wakes up again, she will not be able to defeat Him..."

"What should I do?" Ayane felt helpless. "Even you can't defeat Suleiman. We..."

"Don't worry, the White Flame has reignited..."

Ibuki Rin said this, and heaved a sigh of relief, the light in his eyes becoming fainter.

"Perlis Hafgard contains the [Pure White Flame], and her star track intersects with [Inmotalus], and they are destined to meet again..."

"But we can't place all our bets on one person," Ayane murmured, "In this case, we have no choice but to break down the walls and make Lapras confess everything..."

"That's your choice," Ibuki Rin smiled softly, "I will be there to witness it until that moment."

As she said this, Ibuki Rin's body trembled slightly, and she almost fell down. Ayane quickly supported her shoulders and exclaimed softly:

"Rin? Are you okay?"

"I need to sleep..." Ibuki Rin rested her forehead on Ayane's shoulder, "I don't know how long it will take..."

"It's okay, I will protect you," Ayane patted Rin's back gently, "You have a good rest, it doesn't matter how long you sleep."

"Hehe...you are so cute..."

Ibuki Rin laughed softly. She seldom laughed, but at this moment she realized for the first time the specific meaning of a "smile".

So, in the underground spring cave, she peacefully closed her eyes and fell into a long-lost sleep.

......

Ending) Flame of the Star (Part 3)

"Well..."

After waking up, Perlis slowly opened her eyes with a blurry vision.

She felt the back of her head was soft, as if it was resting on something, and it was very comfortable.

"..."

As the sight gradually became clear, a hint of icy blue gradually focused and soon turned into a pair of gentle eyes:

"Are you awake? Little White Flower..."

It was Carly. She was looking down at Pearlis who was resting her head on her legs, with a faint smile on her face.

The moment she saw that smile, Perlis's heart began beating violently, even stronger than before she was pierced.

"Carly..."

The girl couldn't help but smile sweetly, but soon she was startled, tilted her head to the side, and her cheeks bulged slightly:

"You lied to me..."

"I didn't mean it..." Carly stroked Perlis's head gently, "Are you angry?"

"angry."

"How long have you been angry?"

"A long time."

"What should I do? How can I forgive you?"

"Promise you won't lie to me again."

Perlis still tilted her head, as if she had made up her mind to be angry. She stared into the distance stubbornly, not looking at Carly, but she felt a little uneasy.

Will it make her angry... What if she leaves again...

Thinking so, Perlis glanced at Carly secretly, but because it was too fast, she didn't see anything.

hateful...

"..."

Carly noticed every little move of Perlis. She smiled dotingly, then held Perlis's face with her hands, gently straightened her head, and held her cheeks:

"Little white flower..."

At that moment, the ice blue and the blood red complemented each other and reflected each other.

Then, Carly kissed Perlis on the forehead.

"...Eh?"

Perlis only felt that Carly suddenly became very close, and something soft was touching her forehead.

She stayed there for a while, and her fair face suddenly turned red.

"Hmm!? Carly...?"

Without waiting for her to resist, Carly gently stepped back, smiled, and sealed Perlis' lips with her index finger:

"Shh..." Carly smiled at the little white flower with red cheeks, "Be obedient and don't be angry, okay?"

"Well..."

Perlis looked around in panic. She was so confused that she didn't even remember that she was seriously angry just now.

Looking at this little white flower, Carly leaned over with a smile and hugged her thoroughly:

"I will never lie to you again, and I will never leave you. I will keep my word, okay?"

"...then...um...well..."

It seemed that Polys was unable to spell out a complete sentence. During the many nights after she separated from Carly, she had seriously thought about how to embarrass Carly after they met again, to make Carly fully aware that she was angry and not so easy to appease.

But the moment Carly passed through the white flames, Perlis felt that her thoughts were ridiculous.

How could she possibly have the resolve to be mad at Carly?

Carly was the one who held her hand and walked her through countless days and nights, the one who held her tightly when she was at the lowest point in her life, and the one who crossed the entire continent and was covered in bruises for her, who had already "died".
