Superhumans of the Dome City-Chapter 1315 - 142: The End of the Pilgrimage_4

Seviss opened her arms and gave her a big hug. She kissed her old friend’s cheek, her tone no different than before.

"Bai Aoli, you idiot, you caused such a big mess, I’m going to pinch your butt hard."

"Hey, you!" Bai Aoli exclaimed, Seviss gave her another squeeze, released the hug, and pressed her shoulders.

"Back then, I didn’t mean to hurt you, you know I have memory issues." Seviss said softly, "Forgive me, will you?"

Bai Aoli raised her hand, for a moment she felt impulsive, wanting to slap Seviss to tell this silly Ranger how much those words back then—my friend is not old—truly hurt. But as she listened to the sincere voice, the long-standing resentment and turmoil in her heart suddenly scattered, like pollen drifting away. She realized that she absolutely didn’t want to hurt the other person, she rested her head on Seviss’s shoulder, and softly sobbed.

"You annoying creature, what else can I do? You are my best friend."

Seviss lightly patted her old friend’s shoulder and escorted her to a hotel a few streets away. When she returned, she carried three beers, accompanied by a helpless Jago.

"She went out without money," Jago said.

Gongsun Ce couldn’t help but laugh aloud, receiving a stern look from the Saint. He chatted with two church officials for a while about future plans and the country’s future. Seviss claimed she had traveled long enough and needed to find a place to rest, while Jago believed she couldn’t stay idle.

Gongsun Ce pointed at the holographic projection across the street: "Anyway, there’s plenty of time, you sure can relax now."

The news program in the projection was broadcasting the miracle on the day of the Yao Bian disaster, many residents vowed they saw the Great Angel Metatron. Under the boost of the officials and the church, the "Angel Apparition" was becoming a firmly believed urban legend. The cultural meme replacing Saint Seviss will soon form, meeting the needs of the New Civilization Frontline Plan, now Seviss is free and unburdened.

"Not used to not having to be on pilgrimage all day..." Seviss shook her neck, "Speaking of which, remember how I used to be easily forgotten when doing things?"

Gongsun Ce raised an eyebrow: "Isn’t it because of your information ability?"

"It’s not, I think it’s because I used the Empire’s ’Secret Laws’...but my memory is too chaotic right now to sort it out, I’ll contact you once I have some clarity."

Millennia of memories made Seviss herself dizzy, Gongsun Ce did not intend to force her to say more. At this time, Qiluo walked out from the front of the church, bouncing over to grab Gongsun Ce’s arm, playing the deliberately cute girlfriend role: "Gongsun Ce, what are you talking about?"

Seviss poked her forehead: "You vinegar jar, jealous of me! Can the Saint be interested in your boyfriend?"

"Saint has a great figure and personality, and is pretty, I feel very threatened." Qiluo stuck out her tongue.

Seviss pinched the girl’s cheek and hugged Gongsun Ce. She stepped back two steps, gazing at this young person embarking on the pilgrimage path, giving him a thumbs up, her smile radiant as the morning sun.

"This is a blessing from the Legendary Saint—wishing you a bright future!"

"Thanks, Ranger Seviss!"

Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers, leading Qiluo to fly into the sky. The Dawn Star was hovering in the sky, he boarded the long-lost airship, heading to the final stop of the pilgrimage journey.

"Big brother, don’t be nervous." Qin Qianbai repeated for the twentieth time, "Relax, you’ll be fine."

Mo Yuankai’s face was tightly strained, he sat upright in danger, slowly taking deep breaths, hoping to regain calmness, yet causing the atmosphere on the Dawn Star to become increasingly tense. The task of counseling big brother was supposed to go to Gongsun Ce, but the latter’s mood was far from settled, pacing circles in the cabin, even when battling the Creator Realm Mage, he hadn’t been this nervous.

"I was calmer when I escaped from the Shiyu Research Institute." Shiyu Ling pursed his lips, "Alandia, do something, please?"

"I’m very nervous," Alandia said.

Shiyu Ling rolled his eyes, completely giving up on counseling them. Orianna had been praying on her seat since the Dawn Star departed, looking genuinely focused like a Saintess. The old group of four from the capital was all out of sorts, even the calmest Dawn Knight admitted to being nervous. The girls uninvolved in past events knew they couldn’t help with this matter, so they left time for the four to quietly stew.

In silence close to solemnity, the Dawn Star flew over the strait of the United West, reaching the cross-shaped Albion Island. Outside the window, the sky shifted from deep night to dawn gray. When the morning sunlight illuminated the pure white city along the river, Gongsun Ce recalled four years ago when big brother and Orianna brought him to Supibia.

At that time, his world was still simple, the childish and mischievous young boy hadn’t understood responsibility and love. The capital was grand and magnificent to his eyes, broad like another brand-new world. Now his power is vastly different, he could easily destroy or even control this city. Yet Gongsun Ce was surprised to find his mood remarkably similar to back then, with a subtle unease and an anticipation that drowned it out.

At that moment, Gongsun Ce suddenly understood, the capital is his homeland, but Supibia is the true starting point of his long journey.

"We’re back, big brother."

"Yes, it’s been four years." Mo Yuankai clenched his fists, "Believe me, we’ll be fine."

The airship landed at the capital’s airport, Loninles bringing all the Starlight Knights to welcome them. Without formalities or reception, without looking too much at the rebuilt city, they hurriedly went to the Knight Order’s headquarters. Passing through the ancient halls, climbing step by step the stairs, they arrived at a chamber sealed by barriers.

The room was filled with the glow of crystals, like the treasure vault of an ancient noble family, yet cold without a hint of life. The "treasures" in the chamber were crystal sculptures, once people crystallized by the Kong Hua Realm four years ago.

Time had frozen over them, every expression was vivid as life, their existence too fragile, even a vigorous touch could shatter them to dust. After the disaster four years ago, no one could save them, as the Colored glaze Dragon wasn’t dead, and the Kong Hua Realm still existed. But now the Colored glaze Dragon was gone, Mo Yuankai regained his powers, people resolved to attempt a rescue.

"Everything is ready." Alandia said, "Do your best."

Orianna, her throat dry, said: "I will watch over you, Mo, with me here."

Even so, the risk remained, no one could guarantee a hundred percent success. The Knight Order unanimously decided that the Starlight Knight should be the first experimenter, for this was their duty and honor. The knight lay on the metal bed, his transparent countenance still revealing the resolve and determination of yesteryears.

Mo Yuankai placed his hand on the knight’s chest, releasing a faint golden glow.

The chamber was eerily quiet, each other’s heartbeat sounded like thunder. Like a breeze blowing away the dust on a porcelain surface, the crystal sealing life faded with the light, the color of skin reappeared on the knight, his hair restored to an icy blue.

In the chamber, sobs echoed, Mo Yuankai moved his hand away, stepping back. People experienced the longest second in the world, then the blue-haired knight suddenly opened his eyes, alertly shifting his gaze, suddenly rising and shouting: "How is the Country?!"

The knight tried to support his body with a sword, but grasped at air, his weakened body slumped sideways, caught by Gongsun Ce’s outstretched hand. Knight Yuliy looked at this unfamiliar gray-haired young man, deeply astonished by his embrace.

"The battle is over, Yuliy." Gongsun Ce laughed, "We have defended the Country!"
