Chapter 688: Chapter D249: A Mortal’s Wish 4
But because of this, her call to the past could not be conveyed, and that peaceful future only exists in delusion.
One path is a girl who lost her family, running in anger and a sense of responsibility, fighting to abolish slavery.
She gave up weakness and pleasures, striving to beco stronger, battling so that more people wouldn’t suffer the sa tragedy as her, entering the cold wind and rain.
Her firm will transcended ti and space, sending a wealth of information back to the past.
‘Pain strengthens will, loss brings power… in her endless future, only one voice can cross ti and space, offering her guidance now.’
The voice of the Four-winged King carried a touch of pity, yet faintly revealed a hint of mockery.
‘Even so, you all could not refuse this future.
‘What she chose is inevitably the most stable optimal solution. Choosing another path only ans greater loss. You cannot think of a thod better than her prophecy, you can only choose to follow.
‘She cannot stray from this singular path, not even existing a choice to sacrifice herself, for a severed future will not convey any voice to her.
‘And at the end of this path, she will reach ‘’ as the endpoint.’
A deep, far-reaching soft laugh, the black feather wings trembled slightly, expanding due to joy and anticipation.
‘Because I harbor no malice towards her, because I will lead humankind with her, because—we will beco the Father God and Mother Goddess of a new humankind.
‘This is her only redemption…
‘The greatest future she can reach.’
‘…You sound very happy.’
As if accepting this cruel answer, the emotions of the Liberation Saintess cald, wiping fresh blood from her lips with one hand, she coldly said.
‘I indeed feel genuine joy, why not?’ The Four-winged King admitted generously.
‘You ca all this way, enduring countless hardships, just to converse with , because you still hold onto a slim hope—hoping perhaps that I am the culprit.
‘That it was I who influenced her destiny in secret, manipulated her future, set up a shocking plot before she was even born.’
His tone was calm, as if seeing through everything.
‘You almost pray for such an outco, hoping for such an enemy who intends to enslave her.
‘Because if such a person truly exists, you could exert your power to remove the shackles from her. You believe you can save her.’
The Liberation Saintess clenched her teeth and remained silent.
‘However, reality is not so.’
The Four-winged King sighed softly.
‘You, as the Saintess of the Church, should have understood before coming here.
‘Back then, I was betrayed by humankind and rejected by the world, utterly unable to perform such high-level interventions.
‘Unless soone like you actively establishes a connection with , my existence is rely a shadow of history, lost to oblivion.’
‘You have long understood this, so you let this Floating City be unchecked.
‘And upon touching this door, you should have already obtained the answer:
‘—I did absolutely nothing.’
His voice echoed in the Liberation Saintess’s mind, like a cold proclamation.
Outside the spiritual world, the Divine Knowledge maiden slowly opened her eyes, she raised her head to look up at the sky, yet saw only somber grayness.
‘I am nothing but an endpoint, an existence she will eventually reach.
‘She chose to walk this path herself, and you all pushed her from behind.
‘From start to finish, all I needed to do was wait.
‘Now she has a power stronger than yours. One day her path will reach its end, and then she will co seeking my wisdom to reach a new realm.’
The Four-winged King smiled gently, with a certain serene confidence.
‘Destiny guides her to my side, letting us join hands to lead humankind forward; such a marvelous future is Inches Away, how could I not feel happy?’
‘Even if this future distorts human existence, letting her, letting everyone beco your slaves?’
The Liberation Saintess’s expression also beca calm, rely clenching her fist.
‘Slaves…perhaps in your view.’ she calmly responded.
‘But, this is her own choice.’ The Four-winged King responded calmly.
‘I gave you humankind ti.
‘Throughout these long ages, I have never tried to leave this door.
‘Because I want to know if that human who spared no effort to destroy his own everything just to give your species freedom can allow your civilization to reach new heights.
‘But the result?
‘You keep repeating progress followed by retreat, stripping the freedom of your kin, suppressing the potential of the species, just for individual insignificant interests, then spending energy destroying the shackles you imposed on yourselves.
‘Once, humankind lived in this Sky City at the guidance of Angels at your feet.
‘But after that man destroyed here, you no longer looked up at the sky, just rolling in the mud beneath your feet.’
The Liberation Saintess opened her mouth, wanting to say sothing but was montarily speechless.
The Four-winged King continued in a deep voice.
‘You forgot, the Depraved Fla buried in the center of the earth has not extinguished; you cannot see, the shadow of the moon above is stirring restlessly.’

‘You are imrsed in ignorance, unaware that destruction is Inches Away, the Abyss is but a step away.
‘I am disappointed.
‘I am worried.
‘Thus, to save you, I must again lead you.
‘—Until Heaven is born on this earth.’
The Liberation Saintess remained silent for a long ti before she laughed bitterly.
‘…Indeed, you are right.’
During the abolition of slavery, she witnessed too many absurdities, deeply understanding that humankind is sotis even more contemptible than Goblins.
And to this day, the splendor of the Capital is far less than the ancient glories of this Ancient Royal City.
But the Liberation Saintess took a deep breath, her eyes becoming resolute.
‘Indeed, humankind is ignorant, frail…to beco strong requires much effort.
‘If given a choice, many might follow your future.
‘But even so, we also continue forward.’
Even if moving ten steps only to retreat nine steps, in this difficult spiral, they continue attempting to ascend.
‘Not as followers of God, not as servants of Magic Creatures, but as humans, we established this Kingdom, built a civilization belonging to humans, standing firm on this land.
‘Indeed, sotis we might fall into confusion, hesitate to move forward, commit errors, and do foolish things.
‘Thus people often need help from others, expecting guidance and leadership.
‘But I firmly believe that all of this is so that soday, one can also beco an existence guiding others, just like passing the torch.
‘—And definitely not to end up as soone’s slave again.’
