Chapter 51 Destiny
“What?”
At that moment, Lonis was a little stunned. Because if this continued, Luo Bei would be completely surrounded and annihilated in less than three seconds, becoming a bloody mist scattering across the sky!
“Damn it, how could this happen?!”
Alice clearly did not anticipate this situation. She tried to rush forward and save Luo Bei.
However…
…
“Junior Alice, step back!”
“What?”
“You are no match for this power. Leave it to me!”
Isumi suddenly took off her eyepatch, and her pupils were incomparably serious and condensed, staring at every silk thread.
“Senior Isumi, what do you want to do?”
Looking at Isumi, Alice was stunned, as if guessing something.
But Senior Isumi’s actions were even faster.
Her eyes, originally like bottomless black holes, could not see a trace of light.
But now, Senior Isumi’s eyes clearly emitted a pure white light. This light was like stars exploding in the Milky Way, not only illuminating the position of every silk thread but also illuminating the entire void as brightly as daylight.
“Miss Isumi?”
“Luo Bei, retreat quickly from below and then move back 3 meters!”
“I know!”
…
Without any hesitation, Luo Bei knew that the opportunity would be fleeting. So she tightly gripped the Ring of Destiny and dodged without hesitation according to Isumi’s command.
Compared to when they entered, these silk threads were undoubtedly much more violent… They were like bullets in a bullet hell game, madly cutting through space and splashing fireworks all over the sky.
Sharp silk threads cut through space, giving almost no chance for breathing or pausing.
Such a complex scene would have caused normal people’s brains to short-circuit from dizziness.
But Isumi could always find a point to dodge, and could always judge the trajectory of every silk thread, finding a way for Luo Bei to retreat.
…
“So, so amazing… Is this the power of Orange Abyss?”
“Something’s wrong, Sister Lonis, look at Sister Isumi quickly.”
“What?!”
At Bai Ye’s reminder, Lonis turned her head and looked at Senior Isumi, who had been directing Luo Bei.
And at this moment, she discovered…
Blood was actually flowing from Isumi’s eyes.
And it was not bright red blood, but lacquer black blood… The situation was as if her eyeballs had been dug out, and it looked so creepy and terrifying.
“Isumi, your eyes!”
Lonis wanted to step forward to help, but her body was grabbed by Alice.
“Lonis, don’t cause trouble.”
“Wh-what?”
“Senior Isumi already knew… Damn it! I…”
Alice also gritted her teeth, looking somewhat resentful and annoyed.
But she still stood there, taking no action, only watching, not allowing anyone to disturb Isumi’s plan.
And finally…
After an hour of thrilling tempering, Luo Bei finally, narrowly, escaped from the killing formation composed of silk threads.
“Miss Isumi, are you alright?”
Although Luo Bei’s body was covered in bloodstains, her attire was still intact, and she seemed to be fine.
But what about Senior Isumi…
She heavily, fell down.
———————
…
…
The moment Isumi fell, Lonis’s heart turned ice cold.
Because at this moment, Senior Isumi’s toes had already begun to disappear.
This was the spiritual space. The disappearance of matter meant that the spirit could no longer be maintained… This indicated that Senior Isumi’s condition was very serious, and her remaining power was almost exhausted, reaching the verge of death.
Therefore…
This was the first time in Lonis’s life that she questioned Alice:
“Alice, why… didn’t you let me go help?”
“…”
“Alice, I could have done something.”
Lonis still wanted to say something, but at this moment, Isumi’s voice suddenly came:
“Lonis, don’t resent Alice. Because… this was already destined…”
Senior Isumi suddenly smiled.
Although she could no longer see anything, and all she could see even with her eyes wide open was piercing darkness.
But she was still smiling, as usual, and said without fear:
“And don’t blame Miss Luo Bei, because she has also done too much… Lonis, do you remember the treasure hunting trip on the beach before we set off?”
“Treasure hunting trip?”
“Yes, at that time, I received the treasure map left by Luo Bei from Siria… Do you know what was printed on it besides the treasure location?”
“What?”
” ‘Miss Isumi, I know you will see this record… In the battle of defending against the apocalypse, you will die in the spatial turbulence while saving us.’ ”
“!”
…
At this moment, Lonis suddenly understood many things.
Why did Isumi suddenly show that expression when she saw the treasure map?
Complicated, sad, surprised, helpless, confused.
Why, when everyone was revisiting the Rainbow Abyss Road, did Isumi quietly recuperate?
Even at dinner gatherings, she rarely participated or spoke, just stood there quietly, imprinting the figures of her companions in her heart.
Because…
Isumi had already known about her own death.
That life and death was already “destined” and absolutely unavoidable. In order to achieve the connection of the heart, she had to die, had to be erased in the past.
So…
Should she just watch quietly?
If her presence was a little weaker, then for everyone, that destined separation would not be so sad, right?
…
…
“To prevent me from sacrificing myself, the ‘future’ Luo Bei has tried every means to save me. But unfortunately, I still… cannot reverse the cause and effect?”
…
…
Lying flat in the void, Isumi stretched out her hand towards the boundless world.
Had she finally seen the sky that belonged to her?
That brilliant and interweaving future was so beautiful.
The color of stars, the color of apples, the color of lakes…
Every moment of color was so happy.
It was the beauty that I, a congenital blind person, could not depict with any brush in the darkness.
So, it was enough.
For a congenital blind person like me, being able to see so many things was already enough…
It’s just a bit regrettable?
Sorry, Lonis…
I won’t be able to see your wedding with Alice.

# Interlude
…
“Is this… destiny?”
Alice slowly closed her eyes. Unknowingly, tears were streaming down her face.
Even though she had witnessed so many partings, and even though she had witnessed so much of life, old age, sickness, and death, her heart was still filled with uncontrollable grief.
“Yes, destiny indeed?”
Siria also sighed. Although she did not cry, she stood up and picked up the robe placed on the side:
“Alright, Alice, don’t hesitate… Even if this is destiny, we still have ways to save this world. And now, it is time to fight to the death with those Supreme Beings.”
“Mm…”
“So, there is no turning back. Let us fight to the death with the Supreme Beings.”
