It worked.
Yang Qizhou felt exhilarated.
This ti, using the ’Stone of Truth,’ aside from breaking the stalemate and preventing Alice from focusing her full attention on suppressing the ’Giant God,’ was also an experint.
Previously, when using [Holy Redemption] to forcibly make Alice forgive a ga character, Yang Qizhou suddenly realized sothing.
It seed, perhaps...
During the progress of the storyline, players don’t necessarily have to wait for a choice event to use items—they can use them at any ti.
"I’ve used it before but didn’t pay much attention. Now it seems that’s indeed the case."
"I’m such a genius, hahaha."
"Carry on, carry on."
Yang Qizhou continued playing the ga. At this mont, the storyline had already reached a critical juncture.
...
...
"The night detected the ’deterioration’ power spreading across the earth. The long-imprisoned ’Giant God’ was on the verge of breaking free. Its activated state grew stronger, like writhing walls of flesh, surging from all sides toward Alice."
"The solar fire falling upon the earth noticed the intentions of the night. Its twisted eye blinked, and the firelight surged like waves on Fire Stealing Mountain, dispersing the pitch-black night and illuminating everything its gaze touched."
"At that very mont,"
"That dusk-colored figure grew even more solid. Its height unknown, it bore resemblance to the Giant God. Alice could no longer maintain the sealing and rapidly grew aged and rotten."
"You saw her expression turn incredibly ferocious, her hateful gaze fixed upon you,"
"You heard her say... I, as an earthly representative of the Eternal Night Curtain, a believer of the great ’Lord of Night,’ the prison of the ’Giant God,’ to die at the hands of a trash human like you—this is humiliation beyond endurance."
"Alice, the ’Old God believer,’ finally collapsed onto the ground."
"She is dead."
"That venomous woman is finally dead. You can finally get a good night’s sleep! Secretly, you’re pleased with yourself. But before you can revel for long, the shockwaves from the three-sided conflict involving ’Night,’ ’Sunlight,’ and ’Giant God’ beco unbearable. You experience all sorts of horrifying distortions."
"You are dead."
...
...
Holy crap, finally over.
Yang Qizhou stretched out lazily on the sofa, sipping an ’82 Cola, looking totally relaxed.
"Excluding the hidden boss ’Dream Realm’s Child,’ Alice should be the biggest boss of the ’Fire Stealing Village’ instance. Now the ’Giant God’ has broken free, Alice is dead. The Newbie Village storyline will likely end here."
"I’m just curious how this three-sided war involving ’Sunlight,’ ’Night,’ and ’Giant God’ will ultimately conclude."
"Other things don’t matter, as long as Lena doesn’t die."
"I still need her to take the ga character to the ’Desecration Stone Plate’ to uncover the Wizard’s Mystery. After all my effort, she better not let down."
The next phase naturally follows the usual process.
The ga character’s soul returned once again to the River of Death, subjected to the gaze of an unknown entity. Yet this voyeur still showed no intention of revealing itself—whatever mysterious ga it was playing remained unclear.
The firelight of Destiny Power flickered,
The cries of the Dark Crow of Profane Fortune echoed in the ga character’s mind.
Next ca the mont for a two-choice decision.
Yang Qizhou naturally chose normal resurrection. With Alice dead and ’Dream Realm’s Child’ almost consud by [Tree of Hunger], this was already an optimal ending. There was no need to return to the previous point of choice.
The text continued to refresh.
...
"You reopened your eyes atop ’Fire Stealing Mountain.’"
"You saw that daybreak had arrived, Lena was nearby, and the [Tree of Hunger] swayed but restrained its instinct to devour the two of them. Its branches drooped, resembling a child."
"Before you stood a massive figure cloaked in layered dusk-colored curtains, crowned with a radiating ’Holy Light’ symbolizing dusk, with six arms. Even half of its body towered higher than ’Fire Stealing Mountain.’ It gazed upon you as if waiting for your revival."
"Your heart instinctively comprehended: Night, Sunlight, and Giant God—the three-sided battle was over. The reason [Tree of Hunger] hadn’t consud the two was likely due to the influence of this Giant God."
"With a tone tinged by confusion, you asked Lena, ’While I was dead, what happened?’"
"Lena lowered her head in silence."
"You heard strange ravings in your ears—words you didn’t recognize yet understood the aning behind. The voice belonged to the ’Giant God.’"
"It called itself ’Okas,’ the ancient king of the Giant God race, dominator of the ’Deterioration’ authority."
"Okas did not act arrogantly as it recounted the events of the past night."
"After your death, Night was swiftly defeated, and the Giant God ’Okas’ broke free."
"Because Lena was protected by her father’s blessing, she wasn’t affected by the symbolic-level battle wrought by authorities. However, the Night Watcher spirits, having actively embraced the Sunlight’s corruption, beca part of the Sunlight post-battle, vanishing into the wilderness."
"You instinctively understood: Lena’s silence was born of grief for her ’father.’
"The Giant God ’Okas’ spoke again."
"Its towering head lowered, and it said... Humans, you aided us in escaping the imprisonnt of the ’Lord of Night.’ As ruler of the Giant God race and ancient king of deterioration, we shall grant each of you a single request as thanks. Speak now."
"Lena appeared to have contemplated this deeply. When the offer from the ’King of Giant Gods’ was made, she didn’t hesitate to raise her head and say... I hope the great ’Giant God’ becos the new deity worshipped by ’Fire Stealing Village,’ granting blessings to protect the villagers from the unknown horrors and erosion of the wilderness."
"You silently mused: just as expected, Lena’s request would undoubtedly pertain to the safety and longevity of ’Fire Stealing Village.’
"But the response from the King of Giant Gods ’Okas’ took you by surprise."
"It said... We are not deities and have no corresponding divine title. Nor can we establish a Divine Domain or grant blessings and protection. This we cannot do."
"The light in Lena’s eyes dimd."
"You heard the King of Giant Gods ’Okas’ shift its tone, saying... While we lack deity-specific capabilities, we can create a ’Deterioration Barrier’ to shield the village from the terror of the wilderness. However, the barrier will not be fortified and can only last about a month."
"This might be the best outco for now. Though disappointed, Lena chose to accept."
"You watched as the King of Giant Gods ’Okas’ did nothing visible, yet a dusk-colored barrier arose from the ground, enveloping ’Fire Stealing Village,’ protecting its villagers from harm."
"The King of Giant Gods ’Okas’ turned to you again, asking... And you, what will be your request?"
"Playing the explorer who repeatedly fell victim to Alice’s sches, outsmarting himself in cunning gambits, your heart brimd with questions. Again, at the crossroads of destiny."
"Do you choose to unravel the secrets of the divine by asking the ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas why, despite its imnse power, it is not a deity?"
"Or do you choose to inquire of the ’King of Giant Gods’ Okas how it ended up imprisoned by the ’Lord of Night?’"
