Listening to the system's notification sound that came from deep within his mind, Fang Li couldn't help but smile.
"Finally, it's completed."
Compared to the previous Dungeon World, the danger level of this Dungeon World was incomparable. Although the difficulty of the Quests was all Fifth Rank, the Fifth Rank itself had varying degrees of strength, and the overall power level in this world was much higher than the previous one.
At least in the previous world, even the Fused Colony was only an initial Fifth-Rank existence, and there was no appearance of a Fourth-Rank existence.
But in this world, there were quite a few Fourth Rank existences, and one of them even brought Fang Li a life-or-death crisis.
Now, Fang Li had finally completed the three main Quests and could choose to return.
Feeling his physical condition, Fang Li made an instant decision.
"This time, I'll just return directly."
The retention time provided by the Main God's Dimension was actually an opportunity for the main Divine Envoy to obtain additional rewards. Both the previous and current worlds had additional rewards for the Main Quests.
As long as the Quests were completed with extra achievements, additional rewards could be obtained.
The retention time provided by the Main God's Dimension was meant to give the Main Divine Envoy a chance to obtain more rewards.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, if the main Divine Envoy had the ability and time, they would choose to stay and continue obtaining more rewards.
In the previous world, Fang Li had also chosen to stay, earning more rewards while also dealing with some matters.
If possible, Fang Li would also like to stay and further increase the rewards.
Unfortunately, it was not possible this time.
"My soul has overextended its power too much. I'm not in a state where I can continue fighting."
Therefore, this time, Fang Li wanted to choose to return directly instead of staying to earn more rewards.
Although it was a bit of a pity, in the situation where he couldn't continue fighting, he could only make this choice.
So, Fang Li immediately wanted to choose to return.
Just as Fang Li was about to choose to return to the Main God's Dimension, a voice called out to him.
"So, you're here?"
With this voice, a young girl slowly approached from the other side and came in front of Fang Li. Fang Li was slightly startled and raised his head to look, and shortly afterward, he saw a very beautiful scene appearing in front of his eyes.
"Hū——!"
A slightly turbulent wind suddenly blew, causing the girl's silver-white hair to flutter in the wind, which made her appear exceptionally ethereal. The girl, with a touch of elegance, stood in the wind, one hand holding down her hair on the side as she looked at Fang Li.
The sunlight poured down from the sky, shining perfectly on the girl's body, causing her shadow to continuously lengthen.
In this situation, the girl's pair of eyes were like jewels, shimmering brightly in the light.
It was a scene as beautiful as a painting.
The newcomer who came here was Alisa.
Looking at this girl who had some entanglement with him, Fang Li couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "How did you end up here?"
The girl didn't answer, but stood there in the wind, her gaze fixed on Fang Li, wearing a dreamlike expression, and said such a line.
"I wanted to say 'thank you' to you."
"Thank you?" Fang Li blinked his eyes, feeling a bit puzzled.
Could she be referring to the time when he saved Alisa from Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)? Indeed, back then, when Alisa lost control and rushed out in a frenzy, Fang Li saved her just as Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) was about to strike. So, it would be reasonable for Alisa to thank him.
But later, when Fang Li fell into a coma after using the Stigma, Alisa also took care of him with great effort, which could be considered as repaying the favor.
Not to mention, if it wasn't for the battle with Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), Fang Li would not have grasped the Nanaya Assassination Technique so quickly.
Therefore, in terms of the outcome, Fang Li was the one who benefited the most, while Alisa was merely a pure victim.
In this way, Fang Li had no reason to accept Alisa's gratitude.
So, Fang Li said, "On the battlefield, we have supported each other all the way. If one of us were missing, the other would die. So, there's no need for you to thank me."
Hearing this, Alisa shook her head and said, "You helped me face my own weaknesses and made me realize my abilities. That is more important than anything else. If it weren't for you, I would still be immersed in the halo of becoming a New-Type God Arc user, thinking I was the best."
Saying this, Alisa turned away and looked at the Russian Branch, now turned into ruins and intense determination appeared in her eyes as she spoke softly.
"I will become stronger… even stronger…"
It seemed that this statement was no longer directed at Fang Li but at an unseen presence.
Who was she expressing this to?
Her deceased parents?
Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)?
Or herself?
Or perhaps, all of the above?
Fang Li didn't know.
Fang Li only knew that Alisa seemed to have changed.
From her words, he could hear a resolute and calm attitude that he hadn't heard before, rather than mere pride and indifference.
Of course, that might be because she was facing Fang Li. But at least, Alisa was planning to change.
In a positive way.
Fang Li naturally wouldn't pour cold water on her aspirations so thinking this, Fang Li spoke.
"Russian Branch has just undergone a major change. The coming period will likely be difficult. As a New-Type God Arc user, you will probably face many challenges. Are you mentally prepared for all of this?"
"Of course," Alisa replied without the slightest hesitation, turning back to face Fang Li. She said, "Or rather, this is more in line with my preferences."
When she said these words, her exquisite and charming face carried a seriousness that no one could refute.
Gazing at those eyes filled with strong determination, Fang Li unknowingly smiled and spoke. "I look forward to seeing your growth, Alisa."
Upon hearing these words, Alisa finally smiled.
That smile was incredibly beautiful.
Immediately, Alisa said to Fang Li, "Next time we meet, I will undoubtedly become stronger than I am now."
As she finished speaking, Alisa extended her hand toward Fang Li.
Seeing this, Fang Li smiled slightly and extended his hand as well.
Under the evening sun, the hands of a man and a woman tightly clasped together, their shadows connecting with each other, and it seemed like they will never part again.
