Chapter 806: The Story's Conclusion
The future of the Butcher King Society depends on me?
As the Grand Sorcerer gave himself a thumbs up, Raven Mask Man couldn't help but turn his head in confusion, looking at the Non-Existent Narrator on his shoulder for an explanation.
But at this moment, the Non-Existent Narrator seemed to be infuriated. The black raven feathers fluttered, and the vitality that had been sustaining the Grand Sorcerer's body quickly dissipated, like a withering flower.
The once straight back hunched over again, and the smooth skin was now wrinkled. The young, beautiful black-haired girl transformed back into an aged silver-haired woman in the blink of an eye, except for her eyes, which remained clear and lively like those of a young person.
"Angelica!"
As the Non-Existent Narrator's calm voice carried a hint of discernible anger, she stared into the unchanging eyes of the silver-haired woman.
"If your intention was to provoke me, then you've succeeded!"
"???"
Seeing the anger in the raven's eyes on his shoulder, Raven Mask Man's lips twitched. He felt like he had been maliciously offended by his own teammate.
The Butcher King Society's future depends on me, and you react as if I've stepped on your tail, immediately getting angry? What's your deal? I'm a Pillar God, too; is it shameful for the society to rely on me?
...
"So, what can you do to me?"
The silver-haired woman, having gained the upper hand in their verbal sparring, sadly touched her wrinkled face. She glanced at the oddly-behaving Queen Catherine, then smiled and retorted, "To calm your anger, are you planning to torment me through this fake's hand, or are you going to take my life yourself?"
"Unfortunately, I only have a little over a week left. Even if you kill me now, it will only shorten my life by a few days. And if you plan to torment me, I can't extend my life, but I can end it instantly."
"Rest assured, I don't like such crude methods. Besides, you may not have the ability to end your own life."
In response to the Grand Sorcerer's provocation, the Non-Existent Narrator fixed her amber eyes on the Grand Sorcerer's eyes, her voice indifferent as she spoke.
"Angelica, from this moment on, you are a part of this story, and the role you play is your own—a kind, benevolent, and powerful Witch Queen who has aged gracefully."
As the raven narrated in a steady tone, the last trace of "youth" in the silver-haired woman's body was completely stripped away, and like Lyon and the others, she was thoroughly sealed by the Bedtime Story.
"Although you were once very powerful, now that you are old and frail, you no longer possess the strength of your youth, only retaining a single strike of power."
As the Non-Existent Narrator spoke indifferently, a wooden staff from the corner of the courtyard slowly floated over and landed by the silver-haired woman's side. It seemed to have a mind of its own, nudging her palm and releasing a stream of black air that tightly bound the Grand Sorcerer's hand.
"I may not be able to foresee the future, but I can tell you where your single strike of power will be used."
The amber eyes flickered slightly, and the black raven opened its beak, its eyes cold as it spoke. "The ambitious Prince Leon is conspiring with an evil sorceress, planning to replace your daughter with this sorceress and seize the power of the Grand Sorcerer from you."
"Their evil plan will proceed smoothly. They will soon capture your daughter and replace the true princess with a 'fake' one, while you, in your senility, will be oblivious to their deception."
"However, in all stories, evil is destined to be defeated by justice, and this story is no exception. Although your daughter will face danger, she will use her own vigilance and agility to escape from their clutches."
"With the help of a handsome and intelligent young man, she will successfully thwart the prince and the sorceress's evil plan and expose their conspiracy to everyone, sending the evil prince and his accomplices to the gallows."
"As for you, you will make a timely appearance at the crucial moment. When the evil sorceress, pretending to be your daughter, is about to fly away on a broom, you will strike with your final strike of power, knocking that evil woman from the sky."
As the Non-Existent Narrator spoke, the Grand Sorcerer's eyes widened in realization. The Non-Existent Narrator smiled at her, anger flashing in her eyes.
"Although you, in your kindness, have no intention of killing, the evil sorceress is not so lucky. When she falls from the broom, she will, by accident... um..."
The Non-Existent Narrator looked around the Inner Courtyard and pointed with the tip of her black wing at the distant, dark, pointed tower.
"She will fall right on that."
After casually deciding the sorceress's fate, the Non-Existent Narrator looked at the Grand Sorcerer, whose teeth were clenched in anger. With a satisfied smile, she said, "The unlucky sorceress will painfully lament on the tower's peak until her blood, the same color as yours, flows from the top to the bottom of the tower. Only then will she die, filled with resentment towards you."
"As for you, your daughter, and the young man who helped her, they will embrace each other happily beneath the tower where the evil sorceress's body hangs. How do you like this story? Are you satisfied with this ending?"
"I am not satisfied!" The silver-haired woman gritted her teeth. "You won't succeed! I've seen the future! What you're saying..."
"What I'm saying, in this story I'm narrating, is destined to become the reality that will unfold in the future!"
Interrupting the Grand Sorcerer's rebuttal, the Non-Existent Narrator tilted her head slightly, her expression indifferent.
"The future you saw is just one of countless possibilities. It doesn't necessarily have to become the true future. The time you control, though noble, is still just a power, while the Pillar Gods possess 'truth.'
Truth, as the pinnacle of all knowledge, is an unchangeable reality that will inevitably come to pass when the conditions are met. When I narrate this story, it will be fulfilled with absolute certainty, and no one can defy it!"
