Chapter 1174 - 592: Heather’s Ascension: Moonlight Eyeshadow, Merfolk Play God
Even Heather herself hadn’t reacted yet, when Byron had already made a move ahead of time.
As his study of [Storm King’s Seal] grew longer, his mastery over Unity of All Things reached higher levels, allowing him to constantly maintain his breathing technique’s operation.
His realm kept improving even while eating, drinking, and sleeping.
At this moment, howling winds surrounded him, flashes of lightning erupted, and in an instant, he swallowed a radiant seal, as dazzling as a small sun, which ruled both the outer and inner positive and negative magnetic field lines.
Immediately, two suddenly brightened fists stirred the atmosphere, transforming into a giant cannon that blasted skyward.
It fiercely exploded on the heads of these "old dad" and "old mom."
Boom—!
Byron’s tightly clenched fists almost generated plasma in the air, illuminating the entire night sky with a brilliant white flash.
Different from earlier when Bruh and Gus attacked the "Wolf Grandmother," feeling like they were attacking a phantom.
Those faces similar to the "Wolf Grandmother," full of malice and clearly belonging to villains, couldn’t even last a split second before vaporizing on the spot.
The hot shockwave, flickering with electric light, surged forward over a thousand meters, transforming into a lightning plow-hot blade that leveled hundreds of towering trees along its path.
In their joint effort, the half-step Fifth Order "Mermaid Princess" and "Human Prince" couldn’t execute a single move and perished on the spot.
Bang! Bang!
The half-mermaid, half-human corpses transformed into countless colorful particles of light, which surged into Heather’s body.
However, the splash in the sky did not disappear along with it.
Byron, preparing to withdraw, paused involuntarily:
"Huh? There’s still more?"
The Promotion Ceremony of the Fairy Town School, "become a fairy tale," obviously required the active role of the character oneself was set to replace.
It could be the protagonist, or a villain, or an important supporting character.
Brittney anchored her character as the powerful and disguise-capable "Wolf Grandmother," while Heather anchored the character of the Little Mermaid Princess.
The anchored character was sure to manifest, but the actual number of characters that would come alive during the ceremony was uncertain.
The longer the fairy tale, the more characters, the wider spread, and the greater influence, the more likely multiple characters would appear.
With Heather fanning the flames and through the hand of a fairy tale [writer], the "Little Mermaid" was evidently spread far wider than the stories of other school members that lingered only in the East Continent Truth Corridor.
The Dragon Court, in terms of the range of knowledge dissemination, population, literacy rate, and artistic development, completely outperformed the supernaturally isolated Eastern Continent.
The final characters to come alive were naturally more than just these two.
A human figure flashed across everyone’s sight, another character appeared again.
On its head sprouted bright red snake hair, with a tail that was a deep green eel’s tail, a slightly blue face both beautiful and vicious.
This image was precisely the main villain, Sea Witch, from "The Little Mermaid!"
Holding a bottle of nauseating green magic potion, she lightly poured it onto the snake hair atop her head.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
The sky instantly filled with piercing hissing sounds.
A furious stench suddenly erupted in the field, a head full of snake hair expanded rapidly into thousands of giant pythons lunging towards Heather, intending to swallow her whole.
At that moment, Heather finally awoke to the situation, innocently widened her small mouth.
She’d never been a warrior with a resolute mind, nor a knowledgeable mage.
Back home, she relied on her father, brother, and in her new home, on her husband, son, protected by the iron wall built by men, remaining a pure and carefree little princess.
If not for the unforeseen incident in the Mermaid Kingdom.
As a princess without much ambition, besides learning how to be a virtuous helpmate, her predetermined path was nothing more than being a happy slacker, just eating, drinking, and being taken care of.
Battle consciousness, well.
If she didn’t confuse sweet moments for panic during emergencies, she’d deserve a sincere thumbs-up from everyone.
And when the men were smoothly winning the battle, she was responsible... her shout of "Go for it" would certainly sound nice.
Thankfully, the margin for error was more than sufficient.
Byron stepped forward, firmly shielding his mother behind him.
In his chest, the pace of [Storm King’s Seal] increased dramatically, expanding Byron’s range of "Unity of All Things," making the force stronger.
From the cloud layers overhead came the crackling sound of lightning.
Among all the concepts of "force" recognized by ordinary people, besides gravity, everything else was electromagnetic force.
"Only capable of controlling steel?
Ha, electromagnetic force is not such an inconvenient thing?"
Pa! Pa! Pa!...
Unprecedentedly, "force" seemed to truly possess a shape.
Beneath Byron’s feet, and at the edge of his fists, force ripples exploded, and without making any moves, where he stood suddenly sank into a circular pit.
Inviolable consciousness directly interfered with reality.
Behind him the wind swept, vaguely outlining the silhouette of a giant killer whale, breathing in sync with Byron, causing even the canopy of half the coastal forest to sway with it.
Byron withdrew his elbow, punched forward!
The killer whale fused instantly into the edge of his fist, eradicating all forces from sea winds, tides, drifting clouds, even sunlight, within a radius of several kilometers together.
The snake horde opposite was almost blinded by the sudden brightness.
Without a chance to emit painful hisses, the snake tongues, heads, bodies... already lunging toward Byron were shredded to blood mist by explosive shockwaves, and then turned to ashes in the scorching heat.
Then, the giant whale leapt waves!
Rumble...
The Sea Witch’s face was frozen as she got crushed instantly, followed by the shimmering waves behind her, even if there were truly a fourth or fifth character about to animate, they wouldn’t have the chance to emerge.
