Capítulo 645: Chapter 233: Blessing Snow Heralds a Bountiful Year
As the Big Snake approached, the space barrier within the ritual site rippled faintly, and snow began to whirl around, as if ready to collapse at any moment.
Although the Big Snake’s movement was slow and its trajectory straight, this resulted in no further casualties in the Capital’s battlefield that was already in ruins.
But even just moving, it had caused such tremendous destruction. What would happen when it truly rampaged…
In the sky, two emerald star-like snake eyes flickered, penetrating the heavy snow clouds, overlooking this tiny land like a god.
Within the ritual site, where everyone seemed frozen and still, only the boyish-looking Key of Transformation raised his head, the distortion at the corner of his mouth gradually widening.

“Next-generation Saintess, prophesied Hero—let me see how far you can go… hmm?”
Before he finished speaking, he saw the approaching wind and snow suddenly calm down, and the earthquake-like crack also stopped.
The Hero ceased their actions, and the massive body remained immobile, steady as a mountain.
The tremors of the earth gradually subsided, the wind and snow no longer raging, leaving only silent snowflakes softly falling.
[What did the Hero think of?]
1. Four-winged King (Decree)
2. Fourteenth Princess (Spirit Light)
3. Snow Woman Archer (Qinxue)
4. Didn’t think of anything

The Big Snake came to a halt.
Not long ago, the Capital was engulfed in war, but now it became serene, silent snow covering the widespread devastation.
People, instead of feeling like they were amidst ruins, felt as though they were in a tranquil library, unconsciously slowing their breath for fear of making a sound that would disturb the rare peace.
Someone realized this was the Big Snake’s aura affecting their mind and whispered to themselves:
“…Is it thinking?”
Indeed, the Hero was thinking.
Their consciousness should have been drowned completely by the torrent of magic power, then commandeered by the Demon King’s instincts, advancing straight towards the ritual site of the Key of Transformation, crushing all obstacles to dust.
Yet, at this moment, that towering Holy Mother Peak ceased its actions.
The White Snake and the Gleaming Scale Serpent also paused, exchanging puzzled glances, not daring to disturb.
Originally meant to assist the Hero, preventing the uncontrolled Holy Mother Peak from excessive destruction, but somehow, it seemed the Hero now had a new thought.
The Key of Transformation also gazed at the halted Big Snake from afar, a hint of confusion and caution in his red eyes.
Without knowing the external commotion, the Hero was dreaming-like, engaging in a faint yet profound contemplation.
1.5. Are you very tired?
2.6. Do you feel guilty?
3.7. Many people died.
4.8. You are close to death.
9. Really pathetic.
10. Great Success / Extreme Failure
D10=d10(7)=7
“…Many people died.”
The emerald eye overlooked the earth, with the snow becoming an extension of touch, relaying the horrors of each battlefield into her perception.
Clearer and more tragic than during the Ancient Royal City, scene after scene unfolded in her mind.
Soldiers, civilians, men, women, the old, children—
Countless lives extinguished in the brutal war, deaths gradually covered by the snowfall, warm bodies turning rigid, flowing blood turning to crimson ice crystals.
The Hero’s gaze shifted from those scenes, in the emerald eyes, reflected a female figure not present in this place.
That was the invisible destiny, the absolute prophecy, the imminent future, the ever-guiding presence—
Namely, the Divine Knowledge Saintess.
“Many people died.”
No questioning, no blaming, no anger.
The Hero merely stubbornly repeated.
“…Yes, many people died.”
Faced with the girl’s direct gaze, the hazy female figure slightly lowered her head.
1-4. But this is all I can do.
5-8. I am powerless.
9. So what?
10. Great Success / Extreme Failure
D10=d10(8)=8
“But I am powerless.”
The indistinct female figure avoided the Hero’s gaze, her voice carrying an unhidden exhaustion.
“Is that so…” The Hero paused, seemingly not expecting such an answer.
“Hmm, sorry.”
The Divine Knowledge Saintess sighed gently.
“But you are too, aren’t you?”
The Hero fell silent, reluctantly nodding, but soon after, she shook her head firmly.
“Now, it’s different.”
The female figure before her gradually faded away, yet it seemed her gaze lingered on the Hero.
But the Hero no longer concerned herself with these, merely overlooking the once again clear yet still broken Capital below.
The Phantasmal Serpent of the Holy Mother Peak raised its head, heart pounding thunderously.
The Celestial Scales touching the ground shook the spirit, the immense will sweeping through the worshipers like a hurricane, the Winged People unfurled their wings, singing sacred hymns in a language once thought forgotten.
