Alien Knights

The Kingdom of Shadows, the Altar of Heaven.

Standing on the cliffs on the coast, Scathach looked south and whispered: "Todd is dead."

A huge shadow rose from the bottom of the sea and slowly floated to the surface. A dull voice penetrated the sea: "It's all over."

Scathach closed his eyes: "The nightmare never goes away, and the tragedy will always happen again and again."

Leviathan in the sea was silent for a while and said: "At least we still have the kingdom of heaven."

Scathach crossed his fingers and clasped them tightly: "Looking at Todd walking all the way, I thought this time it would be different."

Leviathan: "Pessimism can't change anything. Although Todd's life has ended, his next reincarnation will begin soon."

Scathach raised his head, looked at the bloody sky, sighed and said: "The doomsday disaster is gradually increasing... Soon, most things in this world will turn into the dust of time and never appear again."

Leviathan: "I understand your concerns, but... the Kingdom of Heaven can only accept the souls of the dead. We can't do anything to protect Muxi City and other living people even if we care."

"What's more, as the apocalyptic disaster intensifies, the island where the Kingdom of Heaven is located will soon suffer a devastating blow. We must close the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven before the situation becomes more serious, and at the same time lower the Kingdom of Shadows. Into the bottom of the ocean.”

Scathach looked at the light blue particles in the sky that were constantly drifting towards the Kingdom of Shadows, and said softly: "That's all we can do."

Right now.

An unexpected voice suddenly came from behind Scathach: "Perhaps, we can do more than that."

Hearing this voice, Scathach, who had not had any mood swings in thousands of years, showed a surprised expression for the first time.

Scathach turned around and saw an old woman wearing a robe and holding a cane, standing behind her with a smile.

The old woman walked slowly to Scathach's side and said to Leviathan in the sea: "You two are still the same as before."

There was some resentment in Leviathan's tone: "Kolitigchen! What are you doing back here?!"

The old woman named Colletig Qin smiled and waved her hands: "I no longer use that name. In this era, I prefer the name Minnie."

Scathach: "The title is just a code name. We can't remember how long it has been since we last saw you. In my impression, after Thrall self-destructed, you chose self-exile. Leviathan and I have been I thought you went to another dimension."

Minnie: "The death of Sal is a tragedy, but the journey of us pioneers still continues. I have been to many places and used many names, but I finally chose this place."

Leviathan: "You have always chosen seclusion and hiding. You avoid everything related to creation. I don't understand, why did you come back this time?"

Minnie looked towards the south, with nostalgia and emotion on her face: "I want to save something."

Leviathan said: "Retention? This is not like what you would say."

Scathach stared at Minnie's face and said, "Is it related to Todd?"

Minnie nodded slightly.

Scathach frowned and said: "You should know the responsibilities of the Forerunners. We can only observe, record and analyze... and directly participating in and affecting this world will cause catastrophic consequences."

Leviathan hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, I wanted to remind you a long time ago that establishing a kingdom of heaven and accommodating the souls of the dead can be considered an indirect impact on the world. Maybe we can really help Todd..."

Scathach angrily yelled at Leviathan: "Shut up! The kingdom of heaven has reached the maximum limit of my tolerance! Do you still want to see Sal's tragedy again? If he hadn't insisted on protecting the candidate If you protect that world, the subsequent catastrophe will never happen!"

Leviathan was silent.

Minnie shook her head, smiled and said to Scathach: "Don't worry, I will not directly intervene in this world, and I will not persuade you to do the same thing."

Scathach asked in confusion: "Then what do you want to do when you come back this time?"

Minnie did not answer her question directly: "In this life, I first met Todd, about ten years ago."

"The Froststone Tribe, the War in the North, Twilight West City, the establishment of the Dragon Kingdom, the Battle of the Undead... Along the way, I have seen a lot and heard a lot. All the things I have seen and heard together may be better than the days when I was in self-exile. , to be more fulfilling and more interesting.”

"So, I've always wanted to see what the future will look like if Todd continues to go on."

Scathach said: "Todd is dead, and his next journey will begin after rebirth. In the next life, he may be able to remember everything now, but he may also spend his whole life in a state of confusion. I can’t remember what happened in the past.”

Minnie nodded and said: "I know, so I can't wait until his next rebirth. If possible, I hope to see him continue to live."

Scathach helplessly covered his forehead: "Colletig, I'm tired of repeating what I have said over and over again. Todd is dead. We pioneers cannot interfere with the operation of this world, such as rebuilding the body, giving... Actions such as strength and reversal of time are prohibited, there is no way..."

Minnie interrupted Scathach: "When did I say that we need to take action to save Todd?"

Scathach was stunned, then said: "You should have seen the scene when he died. Apart from us, do you think there are other ways to bring him back to life?"

Minnie smiled and said: "A tyrant with a soul space does have a method that is not commonly used if he wants to return to this world."

Scathach stood there with her eyes wide open. It was obvious that she also remembered the method Minnie said.

"That's simply impossible!" Scathach thought for a moment, then added: "No one would do that!"

Minnie knocked on her crutches: "If you don't try, how will you know whether it will succeed? And what we have to do is just to build a good bridge, and let them decide the rest."

Leviathan, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but ask: "What on earth are you talking about?"

A look of hesitation and struggle appeared on Scathach's face, and she asked Minnie: "How sure are you?"

Minnie nodded and said, "I have confidence in Todd, and I have even more confidence in his kingdom."

Scathach breathed out and turned around, facing the island.

She slowly raised her hands, and the soul altars that had been silent on the island began to slowly emit light and make a buzzing sound.

Scathach nodded towards Minnie, signaling that it was time to start.

Minnie bowed slightly, and then slowly walked towards the soul altar.
