Mage Manual-Chapter 1308 - 954: Wait for Me

Diya stared blankly at Sonia, suddenly realizing that although they both liked Ash, their ways of liking him were completely different.

Diya wanted to keep Ash as the Prince of Gospel, while Sonia... she perhaps hadn’t yet figured out what to do next, after all, she had just completed her previous life goal and hadn’t had time to make a new life plan.

She is the kind of insatiable creature that quickly becomes bored after achieving a goal, constantly looking for the next direction, climbing new peaks, over and over again, never tiring of it. Occasionally, she can settle down for a period, but after a while, she will become restless; contentment is her antonym.

But it doesn’t matter because no matter which direction she moves forward, she knows that she will never be alone. Friends might not keep pace with her, family might not accompany her, but Ash will always understand her, be with her, and even help her.

"But I don’t want Ash running around with you everywhere!" Diya shouted, "Both of you settle down in the Imperial Palace of Yisu for me!"

"There, we will visit you occasionally." Sonia laughed, "However, have you forgotten about his Hell’s Poison? By then, let alone Gospel, we might not even be in the Mortal World."

The information about Hell’s Poison was remembered naturally by them. Although they didn’t know the details, the Gospel Divine Beings wouldn’t disclose them either. Still, they learned through hints that this poison was related to the Demigod Promotion Ceremony.

Ash and their crisis evidently require them to undergo the Promotion Trial.

"You guys?" Diya suddenly became nervous, "You don’t intend to get involved, do you? Two people will double the difficulty!"

Although she couldn’t explain Hell’s Poison, Diya asked if others could assist with the Promotion Trial. The Gospel Divine Beings truthfully replied — yes, but the helpers also need to trigger the Promotion Ceremony, and the difficulty would increase exponentially.

The difficulty for two would become 2 squared, 4 times, three would become 3 cubed, 27 times, four would be 256 times...

Only to say, if you wish to perish together with someone, you could try ascending to a demigod together.

"We’ll see then." Sonia remained noncommittal, "But if Ash steps into the Divine Domain, do you think I would still remain in reality?"

She glanced playfully at the Witch, "Instead, what does Her Majesty plan to do by then? Wait for us in the Imperial Palace for a visit?"

Diya was momentarily speechless; if Ash steps into the Divine Domain, she naturally wants to follow, but what about the Kingdom of Gospel? What about the Gospel Divine Beings? The entire Gospel civilization is built upon the Gospel System, without anyone to hold the Gospel Divine Beings; the societal order would collapse like doomsday!

The Gospel Divine Beings want to pass on the mantle, they have to wait until the next Weaving Festival, a full fifty-year interval. By then, even if Diya steps into the Divine Domain, perhaps the granddaughter of the Sword Maiden would be calling the Witch grandma!

But for the Witch to ignore the people of Gospel and chase after, she cannot!

Diya suddenly felt numb — She wanted to persuade the Sword Maiden not to abandon her life’s path for happiness, but it reversed back where she couldn’t abandon responsibility and could miss out on happiness! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Seeing the Witch almost about to cry anxiously, Sonia comforted, "Ash probably has some way to counter Hell’s Poison, which is why he’s bound to stay in the Kingdom of Allstars. So, we will not step into the Divine Domain so soon, and he still owes me a date, a wedding, a honeymoon, and many things to do together, we should linger in reality for quite some time."

Theoretically, the only ones who can step into the Divine Domain with Ash are the two Legendary Sword Witch. If Diya can’t go, evidently the future will enter a long period of Sword Maiden’s hegemony, and with the Sword Maiden’s skills, even if Ash is fickle, it might not be impossible for him to be trained into pure purity!

If she monopolized him long-term, it would be fine, but what if she closes the door once on the ride; by then, even if Diya could step into the Divine Domain early, she may not squeeze in!

Feeling wronged inwardly, Diya couldn’t help but uncover her old scar: "You were so mad at Ash that you secretly cried the day before yesterday, yet you’re still willing to be with him?"

"Ah?" Felix immediately turned back.

"You didn’t hear anything." Sonia kicked her seat, then turned to the Witch: "I didn’t cry, that night, it was tissue fluids flowing from overuse of eyes, and lens fatigue—"

"But aren’t you aggrieved?" Diya raised her eyebrows, "We fought with three others, plus your shadow and kissed Ash passionately, plus Silver Lamp and that maid... there are already nine women entangled with him! Not to mention you, even I am getting a bit angry at him when I say it!"

Felix listened in disbelief for a moment, then slammed the car door open: "I’ll check the situation of Ash and the others in the trunk."

"Witch." Sonia propped her chin with a smile, saying: "Do I look like the type who won’t take revenge if wronged?"

"I was willing to save him, but he owes me; I will collect it a hundred or thousand times over."

Sonia yawned and lazily stretched, laughed: "I want him to pay it back with his entire life."

"How coincidental," the Witch said hauntingly, "He promised never to leave me."

At this moment, Felix returned to the driver’s seat, looking refreshed, squeezed some hand cream onto her fists. Listening to Sword Maiden and the Witch’s conversation, she couldn’t help but say: "Sword Seat, Magic Seat, can you consider not picking a boyfriend from the trash—"

Sonia chopped her hand knife onto her head, "Did you forget he’s also your Observatory?"

Felix rubbed the back of her head, reluctantly said, "I’m sorry, I should not question the actions of the Observatory; the mind and deeds of the Observatory are as clear as a mirror, and all actions are correct—"

Diya jumped up and tapped her head angrily, "How dare you agree with Ash entangling with so many women?"

Neither scold nor praise, what do you want me to do!?

Felix’s mouth twitched, took a deep breath, calmly said: "I feel putting the Observatory and others in the trunk is too disrespectful; I apply to drive them, guaranteeing to ’take good care’ of their bodies along the way."

You guys I can’t beat, but at least the sleeping scumbag I can hammer, right!?

Knock knock, Dedarose tapped the car window, asking: "How is your discussion? Sword Seat, you actually don’t have to follow the convoy; even if you stay in Jiale City, we can notify you at any time for assistance."

"No need." Sonia said: "This starry sky doesn’t have room for Ash, nor can I accommodate this starry sky."

She reached out towards the star-lit sky, "Let’s go, Ash is waiting for me."

...

...

Kingdom of Allstars.

"Master, wake up."

Feeling the tickle of someone blowing on his ear, the dozing Ash shuddered, looking at Vishi chuckling evilly as he got out to fetch the luggage.

Letting this fellow Vishi handle the luggage, Ash felt no guilt. He got out of the car, stretched, and glanced at the bustling train station behind; it was the southernmost high-speed rail station in Jiale City.

They were about to leave Jiale City and tour the Kingdom of Allstars. Apart from the exposure risk since Ash had appeared where demons were (wearing a mask), staying in Jiale City was no longer safe, but the more important reason was Vishi needing to arrange the Miracle Techniques everywhere.

Vishi indeed could make Ash’s Heavenly Kingdom of Souls manifest, but because of the constraints of the Mysterious Chains, Ash’s Heavenly Kingdom of Souls might just show a hint before being suppressed by the Mysterious Chains. Therefore, to allow the Heavenly Kingdom of Souls to break through the starry sky in an instant, Vishi needed to set up the Miracle Techniques throughout the Kingdom of Allstars.

Ash and they hardly rested; once a plan was made, they’d immediately act. Besides saving the world being a race against time, Ash’s heart also had some personal desires.

He was anxious.

If he could break through the starry sky a little sooner, he could return to reality sooner, then the Sword Maiden Witch wouldn’t need to intervene in the actions of the Four Pillars God Sect. Had he known earlier that his Heavenly Kingdom of Souls could be used this way, he surely would have persuaded the Sword Maiden Witch to stop in Dream Heaven — although they probably wouldn’t listen anyway.

"Sword Maiden, Witch," Ash reached out to the stars, softly saying, "wait for me."
