Sakuragi Island.

The pinnacle of Yae Shrine.

The sun shines on the pink petals of the cherry blossoms, and the gentle breeze spreads it to the earth. A beautiful woman sits quietly under the tree, raising her hand to try to keep the rain of flowers.

But the floating cherry blossoms finally slid from her fingertips. Every cherry blossom that once danced in the wind, after it bloomed into the world's beauty, would eventually return to the mud and sand under her feet.

However, although each cherry blossom is only in the air for a short stage for a few seconds, they are constantly flowing forward and one after another. When they come to their senses, they look down at the soles of their feet.

The once mud and sand had been covered by pink petals at some point. The muddy path that was originally brown was paved into a refreshing cherry blossom avenue.

The cherry blossoms that left the aerial stage were able to bring out their second beauty.

So far.

In the fox statue next to the sakura, the faint purple light in the eyes was completely darkened, symbolizing the taboo soul sealed inside, completely dissipating.

Next to the beautiful woman under the sacred cherry tree, there was a silent young man standing.

It was originally a taciturn word, but after seeing the fox statue completely lose its spirituality and turned into an ordinary statue, the young man still couldn't help it and clenched his fists.

"Sister..." Xiao pursed his lips, his voice filled with sadness.

But even without Louise's explanation, Xiao understood, or in other words, he had already predicted his sister's choice, the choice of the forbidden monster of the former shrine, the real fox demon clan.

Today's Yae Shrine no longer needs a second fox-faced witch. Since this is the case, it is better to return the power to the earth and become a nutrient to nourish the cherry blossoms, so that more new cherry blossoms can bloom colorfully.

after all...

In order to pave the beautiful cherry blossom avenue, there are already petals willing to choose to be the lowest layer, bordering the mud and sand, and endure being stained by filth and dust. So what is this?

Louise sighed.

He said nothing, but he took out another small fox statue of a similar one from his arms and placed it next to the big fox statue.

This "travel souvenir" that was forgotten and silent in the storage room back then has finally returned to its original hometown.

But just as Louise was about to turn around and leave.

A hazy figure of a witch appeared from the stone steps of the shrine directly opposite. Xiao immediately took a step forward nervously, trying to protect his mother, because although he did not recognize the other person's appearance, he would not admit his mistake in this breath even if he looked at the entire Qiandao. That was... God.

"Don't be so nervous. It's just a reminiscence between old friends. You can go back first." Louise patted the young man on the shoulder, allowing Xiao to relax.

Seeing that his mother said this, the phantom of the water god opposite seemed to be waiting for him to leave. Owl nodded, and finally looked deep and quickly left the peak of the shrine.

Finally, after only the beautiful woman and the witch were left beside this sakura, Louise shook her head first and said with half her hands on her hips:

"Oh, you came so suddenly that I couldn't even prepare for any gifts. It was such a mistake. You probably wouldn't mind this little thing, Floka?"

"Of course not." The witch phantom shook her head.

Of course, the water god Floka heard the true meaning of Louise's words.

After all, if you really want to count...

One of the few precious "miracle" on the Thousand Islands, the sinking and crash of the Astorlogis was caused by Louise.

"I'm not here to seek revenge. On the contrary, I'm very grateful to you for using an Astorlogis to exchange for the end of the arrival of the abyss. This is the best gift I have ever received from you since we have known each other for so many years."

"Hey? I obviously think the ones I gave before were okay, why would this happen..." Louise muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Then...why are you here to do for me? You can't really come to reminisce about the past, right? Even Xiao knew that this was not like what they were cold Lord Water God, you Floka would do."

The witch didn't care about Louise's teasing, but just continued to calmly say: "I'm here to give you a piece of advice."

"advice?"

"I won't care about your own daughter's affairs, but if I get involved with that little girl... Louise, I hope you can stop."

It was said to be a piece of advice, but Louise narrowed her eyes. From Floka's words, it looked more like a kind of...warning.

but...

The beautiful woman looked at the water god opposite who could only appear in a blurred phantom. The corners of her mouth raised and asked with a little arrogant attitude:

"You are so inconvincing."

"If I guess correctly, that cute little octopus has already divided most of your strength away? You forced to create another world line and your own destiny phantom... To be honest, Floka, I admire your courage and courage."

"But I'm very curious, haven't you always believed in fate? Then why don't you accept the fate of becoming the octopus monster after being corrupted by the abyss? Instead, you have to put the bet on a little girl?"

Louise was facing the eyes of the Water God. The beautiful woman put away her playful look and asked seriously:

"Why are you so sure that she will not destroy you in the inner world of the fall abyss by slapping you into the inner world? Once Vivian really kills your destiny with other fall abyss leaders equally, you will not only waste your divine power in vain, but also the arrival of the fall abyss of Thousand Islands will also continue endlessly because you no longer have the ability to seal the wellhead."

"To be honest, this bet is too big. If it were me, I would rather let the fall of the abyss arrive for another half a month than choose such a risky gambling method."

It is precisely because Clara has the ability to control other creatures in the abyss that the Thousand Islands army can come to the front of the snake without any obstacles and directly carry out the final battle. Without Clara, it might have been like Louise said, delaying the final battle with the snake for half a month.

But on the other hand, if the Water God did not create Clara, her own "destiny phantom", Froka would have 100% ability to successfully seal the wellhead of the Yuanhai after the Thousand Islands army defeated the Orochi.

Of course, the price is that the abyss is coming and the rage is another half a month. You should know that this kind of shelter often has a threshold, and the loss before the threshold may be very small, but once this limit is broken, the subsequent loss rate will increase exponentially, so it is only half a month longer. For Qiandao, this half month may be the difference between a cold and a serious injury to the vitality.

No wonder Louise "blams" the Water God here.

But Froka shook her head.

"You made a little mistake, Louise, it's not that I bet Vivian could find out Clara's difference, but..."

"Because she is Vivian, I dare to create a phantom of fate with confidence."

"She has already delivered a full-scoring answer in the last phantom of fate, so I believe she will do the same this time. Can a bet with a finale be called a bet?"

Opposite, Louise showed a surprised expression after the Water Myth. She didn't expect that Floka would have such a high evaluation of the little girl, and the second was that she didn't expect... The Water God actually used the Phantom of Destiny once, only targeting Vivian's Phantom of Destiny at one time.

Destiny is the authority of the water god, and the fate that is parallel to the future, the past, or the person, or things, is directly "invented" in the present world. This is the so-called phantom of destiny, which is an extremely powerful and extremely consumed power.

Louise understands a little now, no wonder the Water God is so weak.

"So, you have been preparing for this game from the beginning?" It was not until the beautiful woman here that she understood the full picture of Qiandao this time.

Froka did not give a positive answer, but turned around and looked into the distance, which was the direction of the Flame Domain.

"After all, she...is sent it specially by my sister."

Tsk tsk...

Louise smacked her lips, showed an envious expression, and sighed with a little sigh: "If the other two Gemini gods in the Western Continent could have such friendship, I'm afraid that it would appear hundreds of years later in the fall of the abyss."

It seems that the topic is a bit far-reaching.

Back to the beginning.

The beautiful woman waved to Froka and said briskly, "Don't worry, I can't curry favor with such a proud daughter like this, how could she be an enemy? Besides, we are all experienced people. When I was still very weak, there were old people trying to bully me, but in the end... I paid for their coffin."

"According to Guili's words, the feng shui is now changing, and it's our turn to become the old thing back then. I don't want to be someone else's stepping stone, and I don't want to sleep in the coffin that others bought for me... Well, if the quality is really good, then I can discuss it and say something else."

Speaking of this, Louise complained a little about the coming of the Water God.

"Hiss... Looking at this, Floka, are you thinking too viciously? How could I attack my daughter's friend?"

But the Water God just glanced coldly.

"Since you induce your youngest daughter to repent to her ancestors, you are the most vicious and shameless mother."

“Hey…”

Louise tried to refute but failed. Indeed, she was indeed very lacking in experience in being a mother. Didn’t she become the kind of old thing she hated the most when she was young?

The beautiful woman was still reflecting on herself, but Froka walked first to the big and small fox statue next to Shen Sakura.

When the Water God's Phantom placed his hand on the small fox statue in it...

Buzz!

A light blue light bloomed from the fingertips of the Water God, covering the entire sculpture. This move naturally attracted Louise's attention. She could feel that the already fragile Water God's phantom was becoming more and more blurred.

finally.

When the blue light faded, a miracle scene appeared.

A few cracks suddenly appeared on the little fox statue, and soon the cracks began to spread rapidly to the entire body of the statue like spider webs.

And after the next second...

Click... Click...

A crisp sound rang at the summit of the shrine.

The little fox statue completely cracked and replaced by it, a living real little fox appeared from the statue.

Although it was still young, it was opening its hazy eyes and constantly looking at the new world curiously. Without the constraints of the statue, the pink fluff on its appearance could be relaxed, making the little fox look chubby, like a huge pink thread ball.

But it was from this little fox that Louise felt the familiar taboo aura. There was no doubt that this was a taboo monster.

The water god stroked the little fox, and the look of remembrance appeared on his face, as if the picture seemed familiar. The little fox also enjoyed the caress and made a comfortable "whine" sound.

Unfortunately, the little fox felt something was wrong soon, because the force from the caress became weaker and weaker. When it opened its narrowed eyes and looked at the Water God, it found that the phantom of the Water God had disappeared little by little.

The little fox was so anxious that he kept shouting, using his claws to keep the other party's hand, but unfortunately his claws passed through the phantom directly, and after a few seconds, even the last phantom disappeared in front of it.

The lost little fox looked at the place where the shadow of the water god disappeared, staring blankly under the cherry tree for a long time, unwilling to leave. When Louise next to him saw this scene, she did not disturb her and chose to turn around and leave silently.

This...maybe it is the fate of the forbidden monster.
To be continued...
