Chapter Seventy-Four: The Experience of Fear and the Growth of the Heart

Now is indeed not the time to observe the movements of the demons, and it is necessary to awaken the World Crystal quickly. No longer bothering about the crack that seemed to be shattering at any moment, Zhuang Xiaoyuan turned his head and flew in the direction of the world crystal.

With his brand-new body, it only took three seconds to go from turning around to reaching the World Crystal.

"This, what can I do to awaken the self-defense of the World Crystal?" Standing in front of the huge pure white crystal, Zhuang Xiaoyuan was stunned, saying that he wanted to wake up the world crystal, but he didn't know how to wake her up. There is no record of it in Zhuang Xiaosi's data, because no one has ever been able to come here.

“…… Why don't you give it a try? Zhuang Xiaosi can't help it, his own memory and knowledge are connected. Zhuang Xiaosi didn't know much more than Zhuang Xiaoyuan at this time.

"Boom." Just when Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Zhuang Xiaosi were still struggling with how to wake up the world crystal, with a violent roar, the previously split space was finally broken. One by one, mutated flying turret-level demons emerged from the spatial rift first, and raised the giant cannon on their backs in the direction of the World Crystal. From the spatial crack, you can still vaguely see the huge threatening figure hidden behind it, as well as a bright red eye, which is probably a higher-ranking demon......

The moment he saw the figure of the evil demon behind the spatial crack, a wave of fear involuntarily hit Zhuang Xiaoyuan's heart, no matter how he suppressed it, he couldn't suppress the fear of that demon at all, the kind of fear that penetrated deep into the bone marrow made Zhuang Xiaoyuan's body stiff and difficult to move, as if he would be hit fatally if he moved slightly.

"Madoka, it's too late, there's no time to think about it anymore, hurry up and give it a try." Zhuang Xiaosi's voice urged in his mind one after another, but at this time, in the face of that demonic figure, the sudden fear made Zhuang Xiaoyuan completely unable to control his body.

"Madoka, Madoka. Madoka. Well, I'm sorry Madoka. Suddenly, a spiritual force erupted from Zhuang Xiaoyuan's mind, instantly controlling Zhuang Xiaoyuan's body. Under the control of spiritual power, Zhuang Xiaoyuan stretched out his right hand and stuck it on the pure white and transparent world crystal. As Zhuang Xiaoyuan's palm touched the World Crystal, a faint ripple spread out from the World Crystal.

The faint colorless ripples spread to Zhuang Xiaoyuan's body, and he ignored it directly without the slightest change. But when the faint ripples spread to the battery-level demons. Quietly, the demons have been extinguished. As if it never existed.

When the faint colorless ripples spread over the spatial cracks, they were accompanied by a squeak, a groaning sound like a steel bar that could not withstand the pressure. Surrounded by colorless ripples, the spatial rift shrank minute by minute, and finally disappeared, completely isolating the roar of the giant demon on the other end from space.

"This ...... It is the self-defense of the World Crystal...... It's amazing. "I clearly witnessed that the invisible ripples emitted by the world crystal eliminated all the demons that appeared in just a few seconds, and even sealed the spatial crack with my hand, shielding the evil demons full of fear at the other end.

Zhuang Xiaoyuan was amazed by such strength for the first time, and at the same time secretly sighed at his own weakness, facing the evil demon was so vulnerable, and the fear in his heart made him unable to move. This is not possible, the weakness of the strength can be cultivated hard, but the mind must be strong, even in the face of the most terrifying monsters...... The heart should not be shaken, yes, if you are afraid of the demons first, how can you defeat them.

With the terrifying experience given to Zhuang Xiaoyuan by the demon this time, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's understanding of herself has become clearer, her pursuit of goals has become firmer, and her desire for power has become stronger, and at the same time, the seeds of the strong have finally been planted in her heart.

With the awakening of the World Crystal, the demons that appeared here were destroyed. Outside where Zhuang Xiaoyuan and the others couldn't see, the demons who had begun to attack the Ji Niang base again were also quietly annihilated in this invisible ripple that spread to the whole world.

【Trial of the Guardian Deity】

[Task 1, Mission 2, Mission 3 completed]

[Final Mission: Root - Completed]

The Patronus Trial is over and is about to return......

With the activation of the world crystal, the golden parchment automatically appeared in front of Zhuang Xiaoyuan, and this time because of the relationship between the two fusions, Zhuang Xiaosi also saw this parchment that seemed very strange in this world.

"This is the trial mission, the mission is complete, is Madoka leaving?" Seeing the golden parchment that appeared in front of him, and clearly seeing the content on the parchment, Zhuang Xiaosi's low voice sounded in his mind.

With the hint of the end of the Patronus God Trial, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's body began to emit a faint white light. The white light emitted did not spread all over the body, but looked very chaotic in the east and west, as if feeling abnormal, and the white light suddenly broke out and flickered. Zhuang Xiaoyuan, who was mature, was gone, and the two people who fused together actually reverted to the original Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Zhuang Xiaosi under the action of white light.

"Separated......" looked at Zhuang Xiaoyuan in front of him blankly, Zhuang Xiaosi's face was no longer the original cold expression, but very vivid and soft, although the two people were separated, but the original shared memory and knowledge still existed, as if a copy of the memory knowledge belonging to one person entered another person's mind.

"That's great, Xiao Si. It's recovered. Zhuang Xiaoyuan's originally worried expression disappeared, revealing a reassuring smile.

Although Zhuang Xiaosi's independent personality still exists in his body and has not completely disappeared after fusing with himself, Zhuang Xiaoyuan can still feel that Zhuang Xiaosi's independent personality is gradually weakening.

As the fusion state of the two continues, Zhuang Xiaosi will eventually disappear from the world. It's great to be separated, even if the two will be separated in two different worlds in the future, maybe there will be no chance to meet in the future, but at least, at least Zhuang Xiaosi is still alive.

Restored to the original two people, the white light covering Zhuang Xiaoyuan's body was finally complete, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's body began to become illusory and transparent in the white light, it seems that there is really not much time, and he will leave soon.

"Madoka, I'm sorry. Said something like that before. At the last moment, Zhuang Xiaosi's face showed a very humane expression of reluctance and remorse. It seems that because of the integration, Zhuang Xiaosi really fully recognizes his feelings.

"Huh?" Tilting his head suspiciously, Zhuang Xiaoyuan couldn't remember what Zhuang Xiaosi had said to himself.

"That's when I said I didn't need friends...... Would you still like to be my friend now? Zhuang Xiaosi, who was originally cold, actually showed a shy and timid expression, which made Zhuang Xiaoyuan really feel a little unaccustomed. But isn't the answer to this question a matter of course?
