Chapter 1311: Flora's Stage
Chapter 1311: Flora's Stage
"This!" Yun Xi looked around, surprised by the sudden change in scenery.
Different, unlike all the previous legends.
The scenery that left the deepest impression on Flora's heart was not beautiful at all.
Without the tranquility of Shaya Longnis's Misty Lake, the mystery of Casina the Battle God's Time River, or the grandeur of Cyber Elf Alpha and the Golden Crow Princess creating a world.
Flora's world was dirty, decaying, and heading towards destruction.
This was nothing like a lady's stage, but rather a terrifying scenery like the end of the world.
The ground was filled with destroyed building ruins, not a single building was intact.
Dilapidated windmills, grinding mills shattered into pieces, bridges split in the middle, castles cut in half.
There were no bodies or blood, only a road with many cracks and signs that couldn't be read clearly, showing evidence of a past civilization.
"No matter how many times you look at it, this scenery is always so captivating."
"Truly, it is Flora, perfectly representing the end of the nightmare."
"Even in this destroyed world, it is still so beautiful."
Unlike Cyber Elf Alpha's big data algorithm, Flora knew from the beginning what kind of world Nightmare Sovereigns would like.
Distorted beings born in the Nightmare World, they like beautiful and pure ladies, but don't mistake them for having any kind-heartedness.
Their favorite scenery is the destruction of the world, nightmares themselves are landscapes woven by countless intelligent beings, and Nightmare Sovereigns always prefer destruction over order.
To be precise, what Nightmare Sovereigns like the most is the brilliance within destruction, like a volcano erupting before doomsday, presenting a dangerous and peculiar beauty.
Dusk Witch Flora is an extraordinary beauty that perfectly matches Nightmare Sovereign's aesthetic.
This world is a reflection of a thousand years ago, the world that Flora has experienced and completely changed her life.
Before this, Flora was not a "Dusk Witch" and was not part of the chaotic neutral camp.
What changed everything was here, Flora's former hometown, the world visited by the Great Crow.
The Great Crow is now residing within Flora, merging with her soul as a battle pet.
Long ago, there was a huge black crow known as the "Disaster Bird" that destroyed world after world and devoured countless intelligent creatures as the Natural Disaster Monster.
Flora's hometown, which appears before Yun Xi at this moment, is one of those worlds and the final one visited by the Great Crow.
The Great Crow has the power to travel through dimensional worlds, randomly destroying any world it encounters. Whether known to the Endless God's Domain or unknown, the presence of the Great Crow inevitably leads to ultimate destruction.
Flora's hometown, the city where Flora resides, is the final world visited by the Great Crow and is part of the Witch God's Domain.
When the Great Crow descended, Flora was not yet a Great Witch. She watched helplessly as the black magical crow spread its wings and covered the entire sky.
Seven days and seven nights passed, and all the humans in this small world of the god's domain died.
Great Crow indiscriminately sucked the life force out of everyone, devoured their flesh and blood, and sent out puppets made from its feathers to exterminate all resistance.
It was not out of hatred for the intelligent beings of this world, but because Great Crow itself was this kind of creature.
Worlds have lifespans, and when their lifespan ends, they naturally face death.
Sometimes, the beings who reside in the world use forbidden powers to prolong its lifespan, attempting to preserve civilization and time.
And there are some people who bind their lives to the world, seeking a kind of unstable immortality.
The world where Flora lived used a forbidden technique from the Witch God's Domain, prolonging the world's life and creating incredibly dreadful weapons.
Those weapons attracted residents from the Nightmare World—Great Crow, the nightmare creatures that can traverse dimensions.
Great Crow was born from the nightmares of countless intelligent beings.
Since ancient times, crows have been seen as a sign of bad luck because whenever crows appear, there will be dead people, corpses, and rotten things.
Over time, in the Nightmare World, which is rooted in the souls of wise beings, a black, gigantic crow was born. When people first observed this creature, they called it the Great Crow.
When the Great Crow appears, it signifies the destruction of a world. Usually, the world targeted is a very old world that once had a splendid civilization.
A newly formed world will not attract the Great Crow. Only those ancient worlds that have used forbidden powers to prolong their lifespan will be sought out by the Great Crow and destroyed.
Without any human emotions, the Great Crow is just like those crows that can sense the smell of dead bodies. It appears naturally in worlds where the lifespan has reached its limit but has been unnaturally extended using forbidden arts.
Then, there is indiscriminate destruction. The Great Crow will devour everything alive in this world without hesitation, bringing an end that should have come long ago.
Flora's hometown experienced the death announcement from the Great Crow in this way.
On the first day of the Great Crow's arrival, the world's population decreased by half. Just with a single cry from the Great Crow, half of the humans in the world turned to ashes.
On the second day, all the water in streams and lakes turned into poisonous substances. People could only quench their thirst with water created by witches' magic.
On the third day, all the crops in the soil withered and humans lost their place to grow food.
On the fourth day, a big flood came, and one-third of the land was completely submerged, and black feathers started falling.
On the fifth day, the witches' magic began to dry up, and there was only one city left in the whole world, struggling desperately.
On the sixth day, the most powerful witches and their disciples launched a counterattack against Great Crow, and together they invaded the body of Great Crow, which covered the sky.
On the seventh day, no one returned, and the world fell into silence, everything came to an end.
No one survived - except for one person.
Her name was Flora, the only witch who managed to enter Great Crow's heart, the last hope of the world.
However, she couldn't save her homeland.
That war was the witches' final victory - a victory achieved by only one person.
