Chapter 663 - 209: The Final Judgment
Originally, I planned to open the champagne.
I didn’t expect the Golden Disaster Dragon King to barge in suddenly, nor did I expect the Cyan Cloud Sect to arrive so quickly.
What I didn’t expect was.
The situation before her made it impossible for her to deny.
Her Demon Slaughter might truly be involved with the Cyan Cloud Sect.
Thinking of this made her feel bitter and uneasy.
Because, if Demon Slaughter is involved with the Cyan Cloud Sect, then his promise of the marriage agreement with her, choosing to help and trust her despite Jia Lan’s difficulties.
Could it all just be to gain her trust?
Could it just be acting?
Thinking that all the kindness and affection Demon Slaughter showed her might be fake acting.
She felt as if her heart was being torn apart.
Especially now, such a proud Demon Slaughter obediently acting as Zi Yuan’s steed, with no intention of resisting, further confirmed this for the Prince.
"Later, I want to ask Demon Slaughter clearly."
[Warning: It might provoke the Cyan Cloud Sect...]
"Then let them come!"
The Prince’s voice gradually sank as he took another drink.
This champagne tastes so bitter.
Even more bitter than the Mirror King’s demise...
"Then let them come, let’s see which side Demon Slaughter is really on!"
...
Old World, within the abyss.
Erin struggled to open her eyes.
"Sister."
Blurrily, she saw her sister limping over.
"Laiya..."
Her sister lay down in her arms, crying.
The two Disaster Beasts were huddling together for warmth.
Erin and Laiya were hopelessly cursed children from the beginning.
Their parents gave birth to them just to bear curses, more curses, countless curses.
Erin forgot when she killed their parents.
But for her sister, she had no regrets, nor did she feel conflicted.
When she killed her parents, she only felt regret.
Regret for acting too slowly; if only she had acted faster, perhaps her sister wouldn’t have suffered so much pain.
The Curse Realm is a place without hope; no matter how one struggles, in the end, there is only death.
The Emperor pardoned her sins and allowed her to join the Expeditionary Force.
To venture beyond the Old World, seeking a path to survival for the Curse Realm.
But ultimately, the Emperor gave up, wanting to bring them all back and seal the Curse Realm.
Therefore, Erin acted again.
This time wasn’t as peaceful.
Because her comrades were not her parents; they treated her well, and Erin didn’t hate them.
She even liked those comrades.
But her comrades were the Emperor’s most loyal subordinates, absolutely carrying out the Emperor’s orders.
They wouldn’t listen to her pleas or persuasion at all.
So, for her sister, she acted anyway.
The entire Expeditionary Force perished at her hands, and she took her sister and fled, seeking a new world.
A new life.
The third time.
Was when she fell into the Old World.
The Old World that took them in, understanding their difficulties, sought solutions for them.
Eventually, the people of the Old World crafted a new body for her and her sister.
The new body was curse-free, and it could transform into a Magical Girl by harnessing the power of leftover fragments.
They possessed their own personal reality.
This was something they could never achieve in the Curse Realm.
At that time, Erin truly thought she and her sister were saved and could live as ordinary people here.
Until one day, they woke up to find the curse suddenly engulfed the entire Old World.
The fragmentary Magical Girl’s life was short, with no miracles, no future.
But the curse didn’t even leave the present.
The Old Worlds, whose essence is [remnants], had no resistance against the curse sweeping through.
Those who took them in and helped them, every one of them died horribly.
Agonizingly.
The world and its people cursed them, trapping them eternally.
Erin wanted to take her sister to see the New World.
She wanted her sister to bask in sunlight and wished to accompany her to gaze at the night sky, the stars, and the moon.
Erin used the new body crafted by the Old World people to continuously search for hope outside until she encountered Jade Fox. She faked her identity, concealed her Curse Realm origins, hoping to find a way to free her sister from the curse through Jade Fox.
Unfortunately, Jade Fox was a sly old fox and eventually saw through her.
But Jade Fox didn’t disdain them; instead, she invited them to join the Full Bloom plan in the Black Mountain Realm.
In retrospect, perhaps Jade Fox thought her fabricated personal reality was relatively easier to devour compared to other Magical Girls.
Or perhaps, she retained some conscience as a Magical Girl, not wanting to possess other Magical Girls, so she chose herself, a Disaster Beast full of sin.
No matter what the outcome, Jade Fox still failed.
Although, she also failed.
The shell of a Magical Girl was shattered, exposing her body that had completely undergone Disaster Beast Transformation.
Carrying the curse, no matter where she fled, it was useless.
Ultimately, she returned to the curse, cursed by the world, cursed by her family, cursed by friends, cursed by enemies.
They were born as children of the curse, destined to be Chong Ghosts of the Curse Realm, endlessly spreading the curse.
"Enough, sister..."
She held her sister, feeling slightly regretful.
But she didn’t want to apologize.
In front of her sister, Erin didn’t want to bow down or show her own weakness.
So, she said:
"Actually, the stars outside aren’t all that beautiful, Laiya."
