Chapter 686 The Final Winner
"Huh? That is?!"
Maggie, who had just returned to the Golden Sacred Tree, suddenly looked back.
His eyes were astonished, reflecting the colorful stream of light.
I saw a pillar of glazed fire rising up far away from Tianyuan. But soon, as the entire wonderland shook, the pillars of fire dispersed and flowed backwards, converging towards the horizon like a funnel, and finally disappeared.
"The flame actually contains the power of the seven divine paths, including nature..."
Maggie suppressed her inner shock and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"That's definitely not the path power I know! How many more secrets does Jack have hiding?!"
Not only him, but also the gatekeeper and the three ladies of pain who came with him were all shocked.
Among them, Margaret, an old woman in black dress, looked into the distance and spoke slowly:
"Incredible... Even though we are so far apart, the feeling of heart palpitations has not subsided. This shows that the true strength of King Cang is beyond our ability to estimate."
Under Tianyuan, the city of cats.
Countless fairyland residents on the street still couldn't kneel down, feeling the pressure from Tianyuan and in awe.
In the Dawn Cathedral next to the central white tower, the hymns sung by the believers slowly stopped, and each of them clasped their hands together, closed their eyes and bowed their heads.
"Praise to the great Cang King."
Wearing a gray luxurious robe and her hair tied up, Ahsoka slowly opened her eyes, looked at the sky outside the church, and whispered a prayer.
Now, the elderly Lord of Daye has abdicated and is living a leisurely life of fishing and drinking tea. Ahsoka's performance in these years has won the love of the residents of the City of Cats, and she naturally became the new Lord of the City.
In the City of Cats, Ahsoka has a high status, and even the clergy of the Church of Dawn respect her.
But there was one thing that she could never forget.
"Are you missing Lucy-senpai again?"
Beside him, Felice Annuo, who was nearly thirty years old, said warmly.
Over the years, as the city lord's deputy, he has grown up a lot, losing his former childishness and becoming more mature.
"Yeah."
Ahsoka nodded.
Sentiment flashed in his eyes.
"The teacher is only one step away from the throne of God, and the whole wonderland is excited about it. Among us, Senior Sister Lucy admired the teacher the most... but now she has no chance to see this scene."
On the other side, Raphael, who was the captain of the Cat City Guards, patted Ahsoka on the shoulder and comforted:
"Miss Lucy will be fine."
"Well, I hope so."
Ahsoka sighed.
She used to have the best relationship with Sister Lucy, and she is still worried about her... Although she hopes that the teacher can save her, she does not dare to disturb the teacher rashly.

Northern Dawn Empire, Byron State.
Bunsenhavn, close to the far north coast, is as deserted as ever.
A woman wearing a light brown belted windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat was lazily leaning against the corner of a grocery store, smoking a cigarette and glancing at the dock from time to time.
Not long after, a medium-sized merchant ship blew its whistle, weighed anchor and left the harbor, heading towards the foggy sea.
The woman looked darkly, dropped the cigarette butt, and exhaled the last puff of smoke.
"Sure enough... the existence of this 'Homecoming' has not been discovered by people below the high level. The ship and the passengers on it have been affected by the extremely powerful force of fate and experienced endless reincarnation."
Irina has been observing here for more than half a month.
Every morning, the "Homeward Bound" will leave the port and set sail, but the next day, it will inexplicably reappear in the port and set off again, over and over again, as if there is no end.
At the beginning, His Majesty Dagon had warned that in addition to Irina herself, the last two contestants of the "Honor Carnival", Lucy and Boone, were in extremely special conditions and were in dangerous positions.
But before the last thing for Irina to pay attention to was finished, Dagon was attacked by King Cang...
So far, my prayers have not been answered.
Irina was frightened and therefore more cautious.
He did not rush to find the last two contestants, but concentrated on arranging the saint ceremony... Thanks to killing several contestants one after another, Irina received the reward from Dagon's crown, which accumulated quickly.
It wasn't until more than half a year ago that he was finally promoted to the Saint of the Deep Sea, the Fourth Sequence [Apostle of Natural Disasters], that he had more confidence to come here.
"His Majesty Dagon's unfinished warning should be referring to this kind of cycle... If I board the ship, I will fall into reincarnation, like those ship passengers who don't know it and will never be able to escape."
< br>
Irina murmured.
Even though he was already a high-ranking saint at this moment, his intuition told him that the power that caused that kind of cycle was extremely terrifying, and once he was affected, he would be unable to save himself.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, Irina groaned.
A pain deep in his soul made his whole body tremble.
He immediately raised his arm, and his bloodshot eyes saw the green and black blood vessels protruding from his arm.
"Bloodline's warnings are becoming more and more frequent..."
His heart trembled.
Irina knows very well that if the "Honor Carnival" drags on and there is no final winner, then the last three contestants, including herself, will be killed by the deep sea pollution contained in their blood.
This was the "urge" from their father, Sebastian Pardo, the Lord of Abbasiya and the Eternal Sleeper.
“We can only take action today!”
Irina took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and made up her mind.
"Although boarding the 'Homecoming' will be forcibly dragged into the loop, as long as I can kill Lucy and Boone within one day before the 'restart' arrives, I can achieve the victory conditions of the carnival and become The winner in the end... When the gift from Poseidon comes, it will definitely free me from the influence of the cycle!"
As he thought to himself, his whole person disappeared at an extremely fast speed.
Accompanied by a gust of wind, Irina stepped on the sea surface, and with a few jumps, she caught up with the "Homecoming" that had just set sail, and boarded the deck.
The fish-man mage Boone, who was leaning on the guardrail and reading "Mystery of the Deep Sea", was suddenly startled. He seemed to feel the attraction of blood and turned his head to look.
What caught my eye was the cruel smile of a woman...

The destination of the Homing Ship, the Explorer Islands.
The eastern coast was being plundered by pirates.
The deformed and ferocious-looking captain led his men to burn, kill and loot, and the fishermen were wailing and screaming.
Lucy was hiding in the small fishing boat, sticking her head out, silently observing the situation on the shore, with a cold look in her eyes.
Her appearance at this time was the same as before, she was eighteen or nineteen years old, young and beautiful.
The impressive long dark green hair fluttered in the sea breeze, looking extremely gorgeous.
Lucy had no idea that she had been reincarnated here more than three thousand times, nor did she know that nearly ten years had passed in the outside world.
No matter what happened that day, her physical state and memory would be reset the next morning.
So much so that her memory still lingered on the day she quietly left St. Byron's Academy without informing Senior Polaris, nor Ahsoka and others.
"Killing contestant Boone is the first step for me to become a winner."
Lucy said to herself.
However, until the killing on the shore ended and Captain Angler and his men were preparing to retreat, the fishman mage Boone did not come as expected.
She couldn't help but have doubts.
At this moment.
A raging wave of ten meters high came from the sea like a tsunami, and hit Captain Angou's broken ship.
With a loud bang.
The ship was torn apart, and countless pirates screamed and died. Even Captain Anglao, who was a Sequence Five, was not spared.
In Lucy's horrified eyes, the wave was like a huge force, crushing the burly Captain Anglao into pieces!
A woman wearing a light brown trench coat came riding the waves, accompanied by strong winds and thunder, floating directly above the small fishing boat, overlooking Lucy.
"You're the only one left, Lucy Payne... I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I was too cautious and it took me so long."
Irina's eyes were cold and there was a smile on her lips.
"A high-ranking contestant?!"
Lucy raised her head with a look of disbelief.
"How is this possible! If there are high-ranking people involved, what's the point of this 'carnival of honor'?!"
"Pathetic."
Irina obviously had no intention of explaining, and just said indifferently.
She raised her hand and grabbed it, and suddenly she held a ball of dazzling purple electricity in her hand, making a crackling sound.
It suddenly fell down——
"Go to hell! The final winner is me!"
Split! !
Lucy looked up in confusion. She did not expect that she would be attacked and killed by a high-ranking saint. At this moment, despair filled her heart.
At the same time, there is also a strong feeling of unwillingness and longing.
"Mr. Jack... Lucy would like to see you again."
Lucy couldn't help but shed tears.
However, in the next moment, purple lightning penetrated her body like a spear.
boom! ! !
The small fishing boat was turned into powder by the power of mythical thunder and lightning, and Lucy was also destroyed in this moment, her body and spirit dissipated, leaving only a few ashes floating in the sea breeze.
Irina clenched her five fingers, and the purple arc remaining in her palm jumped. Uncontrollable excitement and joy could not help but appear on his face.
"Dead! They are all dead at last! Hahahahaha! I am the last survivor of the 'Honor Carnival'! I am the winner!!"
Soon, he saw that the waves around him were getting stronger and stronger.
The sky was covered by thick and gloomy clouds, with lightning and thunder.
Irina felt her blood speed up, and her deep blood vessels were cheering and congratulating Him, which seemed to indicate that a great moment was coming.
Woohoo——
The strong wind swept across, and a familiar yet seemingly unfamiliar figure gradually emerged from the distant sea.
Irina looked shocked and her eyes were in trance.
An ancient square stone pillar was seen standing up through the sea, with a huge fish-headed giant clinging to it.
But the fish-headed giant's head, arms, waist, and other parts were all covered with patches of pale crystals that looked like scabies.
"Dagon...Your Majesty Dagon?"
Irina spoke with a slight tremor in her voice.
Seeing the shocking look under Dagon's crown, he couldn't help but feel a little fear.
The raised eyes of the fish-headed giant, which seemed to never close, were covered with barnacle-like crystals, making it difficult to see clearly.
Dagon opened his mouth with difficulty and uttered the unique hoarse voice of the dying:
"Irina... Congratulations, you have become the winner of this carnival..."
As He spoke, he mechanically twisted his neck like a puppet, making a terrifying muffled sound.
Crystal's eyes were pointed in Irina's direction.
Irina couldn't help but wonder what the Cang King had done to Dagon, so that this great master of deep divers could suffer such horrific injuries.
"You will receive the supreme gift of the Father!"
Dagon roared.
There seemed to be suppressed indescribable excitement and expectation in his tone. (End of chapter)
