Mystery: The Stars Returner

Damn, I’m so timid!

In the Hall of Stars, Hastur looked down at the starry sky and watched everything that was happening.

He was really angry about Gray Carrie's performance, and in the end he could only sigh helplessly.

Why are you so cowardly?

Can't you be more bold?

He had been entangled with the Fallen Mother Goddess and other outer gods in the starry sky for so long in order to completely return the City of Disaster and the four extraordinary paths of night, God of War, Red Priest, and Witch to the original barrier.

He has even sent these things that the outer gods fought so hard for in the past to Gray Carrie for her to choose.

He originally wanted to train Gray Carrie to become an old one, but after all, he had been loyally following him and accompanying him from weak to strong.

But this guy only has a little courage and no ambition!

He only dared to take away the two extraordinary paths of the Night and the God of War, and then slipped into the depths of the spiritual world and hid.

He also didn’t think about it, could these things appear before Him out of thin air?

His master fought hard for him in the starry sky.

Because of fear of God?

If God really wanted to take action, he would not wait for Him to finish selecting and slip back into the depths of the spiritual world before beginning to take away the City of Disaster and the two extraordinary paths of the Red Priest and the Witch.

If Gray Carrie had chosen to take away the two extraordinary paths of City of Disaster and Night and God of War, then he would be the next Old One.

Facing such a cowardly Gray Carrie, God must have been speechless.

Hastur has not had this desire to complain for a long time.

Fortunately, Medici has a very good character and has always been admired by him. It is also a good choice to make him the new old one.

After finishing his short rant, Hastur looked at the starry sky in front of him.

Although he lit up the starry sky one after another, he still couldn't find what he wanted, nor did he find Hastur, the ruler of the old days, hiding in the darkness.

He was deliberately hiding from himself. Even though the palace of stars was rising, He still showed no trace, not even a hint of temptation.

Hastur understood His thoughts, and also knew that He would not appear until the last moment when the end was coming.

So he also waited patiently.

……

In front of the steps of the Giant King's Court, Medici was being pulled into the fusion of the City of Disaster. His will was like a small boat sailing on the rough sea of ​​uncertainty.

On this magnificent sea, God stands in the sky, like the sun that stretches across the sky, extremely eye-catching and dazzling.

Although Medici disliked being arranged by God in this way, the appearance of God gave him an anchor point that was not easy to get lost. Whenever it was difficult to accommodate the city of disaster and his consciousness was scattered, he only needed to look up at God. The scattered consciousness will be reunited.

If God was just a simple ancient sun god, then He would be happy to accept this blessing, but unfortunately not.

During the process of Medici's painful suffering, God was always shining on him like a sun.

In a trance, Medici seemed to really see the shadow of the ancient sun god in God.

But he quickly suppressed this thought and did not dare to let himself think too much.

December 1364, 12, was the day before the New Year.

In the King's Court of Giants, the City of Disaster has been initially accommodated. Medici, who has been promoted to the past, has finally regained a certain level of consciousness.

He separated a ray of incarnation, walked into the Giant King's Court, and saw the figure sitting on the seat of the King of Gods.

Even though Medici clearly understood that it was a clone of God, his image would always overlap with that of the ancient sun god.

"Let me merge with the City of Disaster and advance to the past. What exactly do you want me to do?" Medici stared at it for a long time before asking his doubts.

"What can you do for me?"

Medici was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "What else do you need me to do?"

The figure sitting on the throne did not answer this question, but just said: "When your thinking cannot satisfy your curiosity, you must learn to give up."

"Is it a deal between you and the stars to make me the old one?"

The scene when the City of Disaster returned to its original barrier was still fresh in Medici's memory.

This source of essence should not belong to her. It was a gift specially given to Gray Carrie by the stars.

It was the coming of God that made the master of the City of Disaster himself.

This question was not answered. Medici thought for a while and asked: "Why are you sitting on this throne?"

"You have too many questions."

The figure sitting high on the throne waved his hand gently, and the incarnation of Medici was sent out of the Giant King's Court and merged into the City of Disaster.

……

In the fairy tale castle of the Star Sea Kingdom, Bernadette ended a tiring year of state affairs and spent the New Year here with Audrey, Sharon, Forsi, and Xio.

After things in the spirit world came to an end, Sharon, who had temporarily left the spirit world, came to the Star Sea Kingdom. When the New Year was approaching, she invited Audrey to come with her. Then Bernadette invited Forsi and Xio to gather together. Inside a fairy tale castle.

"Forsi, do you think this is the dumpling you made?" Xio, who was in front of the pastry counter in the kitchen, held up a dumpling with the stuffing exposed at both ends and a small dumpling at one end, and waved it in front of Forsi a few times.

Forsi took one look and said seriously: "No, my skills are not that bad."

Xio looked at the dumpling that Forsi was making, and said sympathetically: "Forsi, next time you want to quibble, it's best not to let others get the stolen goods."

Forsi hurriedly pulled the dough on both sides and rounded the exposed corners, but there was another crack in the middle, and the filling inside fell out.

"..."

"Hey, go help Miss Audrey prepare desserts."

Xio sighed, took over the job of making dumplings from Forsi, and motioned for her to help elsewhere.

"Desserts, don't worry, that's my strength."

After a while, Audrey's gentle voice came from the kitchen, "Forsi, Miss Sharon seems to need more help."

"No need." Sharon, who was preparing various fruits, refused this help.

"I don't need it here either." Before the fire started, chef Bernadette, who rarely cooked her hometown dishes herself, also declined Forsi's help.

Finally, Forsi, who had nothing to do, came outside the kitchen and looked at Susie who was sunbathing on the grass.

Susie blinked, then showed her white teeth and smiled happily.

Forsi had a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Susie, Miss Audrey just said that if there are no people to help with the work, there will be no food at night."

Susie glanced at Forsi with a sideways glance, showing an expression that looked like I was stupid.

"..."

Forsi looked away with an embarrassed expression. Susie swung her tail and smiled even more happily.

"Miss Forsi, are you free now? I need a little help." Cattleya, who couldn't stand it anymore, opened her mouth to help Forsi.

"No problem!" Forsi answered confidently.

At night, Russell, who was far away in the capital of Intis, also put down his official duties and quietly came to Bernadette's fairy tale castle. With the help of Susie, who turned a blind eye, he took away Bernadette's two strong swords. The fried New Year vegetables were returned to Trier's palace through the portal before Bernadette noticed it.

"Susie, did anyone come here just now?" Audrey asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Wang Wang!"

Susie, who was immersed in the meal, suddenly raised her head and revealed Russell's crime with righteous words. She also pointed out that Russell not only stole two dishes, but also stole a bottle of fine wine from the wine cellar. .

"Oh, didn't you find out in advance?"

"Wang Wang!"

Susie decisively told Russell about bribing her without any concealment.

Far away in the Trier Palace, Russell, who was enjoying food and wine alone, yawned and had a bad feeling.

……

On January 1365, 1, at the beginning of the new year, when many people were still immersed in surviving a year of many disasters, a long and narrow gap silently opened in the sky.

Meteors from the starry sky hit the newly revived earth.
