The Magnificent Sky Dance: Book 4 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  A great amount of dead slimes were turning into disguising green mucus, adhering to the ground.

  Finally, even the golden slime kings, who were almost invincible in the face of most attacks, started to be killed.

  When the golden slime kings died, they wouldn't turn into green mucus like other slimes, instead, they turned into golden crystal columns, standing tall and upright on the ground.

  These golden crystal columns were very hard. Even when the three High Priestesses attacked them together, they wouldn't break these remnants of the golden slime kings.

  As the Mist Soul Army went from victory to victory, more and more golden slime kings died, and the number of the golden crystal columns also increased at a fast speed.

  When Yun Xi and Yun Que noticed this and ordered the Mist Soul Army to attack the columns, it was already too late.

  One, two, three... when the 108th golden slime king died, a strange wave spread in a circle throughout the Island of Mist.

  "He he he he, ha ha ha ha ha!"

  The Dark Shadow Spider Queen covered her mouth and drowned in laughter, as if something very funny was happening.

  "Oh, I see." Yun Xi looked at the 108 nodes on the ground gloomily.

  "So this is their plan..." Yun Que tapped her fingers on her mask and observed the 108 golden columns on the ground, the 108 nodes which would summon the Sky Sword.

  The web in the sky was just a feint.

  The 108 golden slime kings were the real tool that could summon Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword!

  If everything went smoothly, these golden slime kings would create the slime mental network, gathering the power from countless slimes to create a door for the Sky Sword.

  If something bad happened, these golden slime kings would sacrifice themselves, forcibly summoning the Sky Sword by using their lives.

  No matter live or die, these golden slimes were always loyal to Shaya Longnis.

  Therefore, when they were born in this world, the coming of the Sky Sword was already unstoppable.

  "As expected, things always go the worst way." Yun Xi had already prepared to meet difficulties in the trial.

  "Since we can't stop your coming, then, let me give you the warmest welcome! Turn into the Water God's Opera House!"

  Under Yun Xi's control, the three wonders which were shooting arrows started to change their forms again.

  The shape of the tall arrow towers became as smooth as seashells. Their streamlined shells were as beautiful as seashells too.

  When the three arrow towers combined together, they became a magnificent building which looked like three shells.

  This was Yun Xi's welcome gift for the supreme Sky Sword. When he was in Caelian, he had suspected that the battle with the Sky Sword was unavoidable. He read through all the records in Caelian and finally decided upon this gift. This was also the reason why he didn't summon the three High Priestesses before.

  It was the wonder of three shells, the Water God's Opera House.

  Its effect: Let the girls' song echo to the clouds. Let the world face its final ending.

  After all, this world's fate needed to be determined by its god.

  Now, it was the time for Yun Xi to show his last trump card, it was the time to face the coming terror, Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword!

  In the wonder, the Water God's Opera House, the three High Priestesses' Mist Souls came on the stage at the same time. They're faces were very radiant.

  The next moment, the three High Priestesses' sweet voices started to sing an old song.

  It was the song of praise to the only god of this world. It was the prayer the three High Priestesses dedicated to their god for fate at the end of the world.

  Chapter 279: Descending

  Unlike the songs of love they sung on Yun Xi's proposal ceremony, this time, the three High Priestesses was singing the same rhythm.

  For this song, and the wonder named "Water God's Opera House", Yun Xi made a lot of efforts when he was still in Caelian. This song was the biggest "surprise" Yun Xi prepared for the Sky Sword.

  "Singing for me, my children."

  The first rhythm was muffled, like the whisper a mother to her baby, like a breeze in the sky of the summer. It was a whisper echoed between the sky and the earth, it was a sound of nature that could let the listeners forget their troubles.

  At this moment, all Mist Soul girls stopped their battle and became a part of the song.

  "You are awkward, but I know you are trying to be good."

  "I'm willing to protect you, because you are small not gentle."

  "I'm the grains in the hourglass of time, turn over and over again in the glass and scatter beside you."

  "You are the treasures on my fingertips, grow up and disappear as time goes by. Finally, you all wake up in the small garden again."

  "Your dreams are weak, but also strong as day in and day out. Sometimes, the reality is too cruel for you, which makes you regretful. However, you are still walking forward and keeping your faith."

  "I'm looking at you at the bottom of the hourglass. Looking at your past, present and future."

  "Because I'm immortal."

  The song echoed between the sky and earth. It wasn't a song about love, it was a song to the god. It was the song that could awake the supreme god of this world, the Water God!

  The god's dream. The place where the god is looking at... is at this place, at this moment!

  When the girls sung the prayer song, one thread of old aura after another raised to the surface of the water from the deepest side of the sea. It was the aura of the god who granted Yun Xi and Yun Que their masks!

  "Dammit, is it the Water God?" The Dark Shadow Spider Queen looked annoyed, because Water God was the only being who could threaten her master, the Sky Sword in this world.

  However, why now?

  The god should have known Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword's invasion from a long time ago, but it did nothing. Why would the god come at this moment?

  "Great! I finally catch you!" A muffled weird voice appeared beside the spider queen's ears, then the spider queen lost her consciousness.

  The next moment, the spider queen opened her eyes again and hummed a ditty. Compared to Yun Xi's song he prepared for the Water God's Opera House, this song sounded messy.

  However, it had the same power like the prayer song the three High Priestesses were singing!

  Because it was the song from a Sky Sword, who was at the same rank with the Water God!

  "At all times, I'm always alone. I don't remember the existence of my fate, till I met you."

  "I was awakened in the unexpected light. I stood up silently in the darkness."

  "I want you to be my hope. I want to introduce you to my family. I want the things go toward a good direction."

  "Whenever and wherever, we are always together. Whenever and wherever, you are always on my side. I take off my mask of fate, looking at you face."

  "The future still looks reach-less, and I don't know anything about it. But I know you are my light. You are the person who found me. You are the person who stays with me."

  "Tear off the surface, nothing in the world is unintelligible."

  "Disinteresting, unpleasant, chaotic stuffs."

  "Cry, tangle, confession, want to provoke my fond."

  "How to describe my mood? Even to this day, I can't give an answer."

  "I find that I'm a despicable creature."

  "Noise, noise. So bored, so bored, so bored. Only in front of you, I can feel happy and forget the noises."

  "However, I hate to be eliminated. If I can't become the most popular one, I will find it unbearable."

  "After all, I hate to be defeated."

  "Even if I will become dirty and foul, even if I had to lie, if I can't look down on the earth, I will lose the meaning of my life."

  "I can't treat everyone equally and gently."

  "I can't pray for the most important person of mine."

  "I want to make her
cry. It is a good thing to cry for me."

  "Oh, incidentally, even if you won't like me, I don't mind it."

  "Because I love you so much so much so much, to the extent that I want to eat you."

  "Your name is..."

  It sounded the sad, weird voice was singing a story about a human and a non-human. With the dark song, a mask suddenly appeared on the Dark Shadow Spider Queen's face.

  The mask was different from Yun Xi's mask and Yun Que's mask. It was a small, round mask.

  Instantly, the spider queen's body was wrapped by countless green threads from the void, then her body twisted and changed to another shape.

  On the white round mask, there was a pair of horns, which were painted with two cute slimes. In the middle of the round mask, it was another cute slime figure.

  On the mask, the places where there should be eyes were circled in white, in the white circles there were a pair of crimson pupils; the place where there should be a nose, was a red triangle; the places where cheeks should be, were replaced by two red dots; the place where the mouth should be, was a slit, which looked very weird.

  Originally, the Dark Shadow Spider Queen had black long hair, but now, her hair was replaced by locks of green hairs, which were flying in the air as if they were alive. In the middle of her hair, there was a cute pink bowknot.

  In a word, it was just a little girl who was wearing a round mask. She looked like a little girl from a masquerade hall and looked not like the spider queen at all.

  However, the last word of her song told everyone her name.

  "Shaya Longnis."

  Chapter 280: The Water God's Real Name

  "She is... the Sky Sword..." Red Lotus only needed to take a step forward, then she would be able to ignite Yun Xi with the Red Lotus Holy Sword in her hand. However, she stopped and looked at the little girl with a weird white mask.

  "Shaya Longnis... the Sky Sword..." On the ground, Hua Huo also stopped and raised her head, gazing at the little girl floating in the sky.

  Sky Sword was a supreme title in the Sky Sword God's Domain. They were the legends of this sword domain, they were the most famously strong beings in the universe.

  Shaya Longnis was said to be the strongest one amongst all the young Sky Swords.

  Although she was just the 10th Sky Sword, her power was the strongest apart from the three Deicide Sky Sword.

  Her true body was a slime, but she could turn into various forms, and all forms were from the creatures it had swallowed.

  At this moment, this female human form was one of Shaya Longnis' avatars.

  "I'm in. Finally, I’ve arrived in this world!" The Sky Sword took over the Dark Shadow Spider Queen's body, so that her will could cross the barrier of this world. Under her mask, she was smiling happily.

  "Give me it, the most precious treasure in this world." Her slender finger pointed at the Island of Mist and waved casually.

  "Hiss!" As if the island was butter and her finger was a knife, the whole island was divided into two under her finger.

  The island, the sea, and the thick bedrock under the sea were all torn open under the Sky Sword's great power. A great long scar appeared, which was utterly shocking and ugly.

  Scorching magma gushed out of the scar onto the ground, flash heating the water to steam as more and more water flowed into the crack. The magma and steam quickly destroyed the whole island.

  Infinite volcanic ashes floated in the air. All mists had disappeared, and the Island of Mist had almost been destroyed.

  The ground was groaning, and the sky was crying. The whole island boiled like a scene from doomsday.

  One finger. She just pointed one of her fingers at the island, then the whole island was destroyed. It was the purest and simplest power!

  "Don't you want to appear? Well, I don't mind if I do it again." Looking at the island, Shaya Longnis pointed at the island and waved her hand again. Another scar of the ground appeared on the island, forming a cross with the previous scar on the ground. One fountain of magma after another erupted into the sky.

  Finally, the Island of Mist was erased from the map of the Water God's world, and Shaya Longnis just moved her finger twice.

  We are not at the same level! Yun Xi pinched the green slime bracelet subconsciously as sweat broke out all over his body.

  When he really witnessed the power of the legend rank, he realized that the hero rank was nothing in front of the Sky Sword!

  "Why don't you answer me? Haven't you woken up?"

  Erasing the Island of Mist couldn't even be counted as a warm up exercise to Shaya Longnis. It was just a stretching exercise to her.

  Only a legend ranked being can defeat another legend ranked being!

  Even though the little girl here was just an avatar, a small part of the real Shaya Longnis!

  "I'm waiting for an answer." Suddenly, from the Water God's Opera House, an old voice echoed between the sky and earth.

  It was the only and everlasting god of this world, Water God.

  "Answer? Don't be perfunctory to me! I will never forget 'that thing'. I will never forgive you." Through the mask, Shaya Longnis' crimson pupils became ferocious.

  "I will seize back the thing you robbed from me with my own hands! This is the reason why I become a Sky Sword and finally found your garden. But, you tell me you are waiting for an answer?"

  The Water God hesitated for a while. Apparently, the Water God and the Sky Sword had a history in the past.

  "Yes, I need an answer, and now, I will find that answer very soon. If you want revenge, can you wait for a while? The answer will determine the fate of this world."

  Yun Xi's heart suddenly pounded. He vaguely realized that the answer was related to him.

  After coming to this world, he was given the most special quest in this world.

  Can the answer the Water God is waiting for be...

  "Ok, you have one minute." Shaya Longnis smiled cruelly.

  She had determined that no matter what the answer was, the fate of this world wouldn't be changed.

  "Shaya, you changed after obtaining this human body." Water God's voice sounded surprised.

  "Because I like this human, therefore, after I ate her, I inherited a few of her compassions, so I can wait for you for a minute." Shaya Longnis touched her mask.

  The original Child of Slimes, when she hadn't yet obtained the name "Shaya Longnis", was a more brutal and dangerous monster. At that time, she was still an irascible object whose goal was to swallow all beings in the universe.

  Till it fell in love with a girl and was rejected by her, it ate the girl, then it obtained its human form and human intelligence. After that, it became even more dangerous.

  "Don't pretend, didn't you also eat this world?" Shaya Longnis raised her lips and spoke the truth that made Yun Xi feel chilly all over his body.

  "Hydra, we are the creatures of the same kind. Admit it, you are not a god, you are just another monster like me."

  Chapter 281: Water God's Bride

  "My Apostles, raise your heads. The emperor of a million brides, answer my question."

  The Water God, Hydra's voice echoed around all the corners in the world.

  Yun Xi and Yun Que raised their heads. They knew that the prologue of the final battle had finally started.

  "Who is the most beautiful bride in this world?"

  The Water God, Hydra's question, was directly related to the fate of this world.

  At the same time, it was also the question which Yun Xi and Yun Que were looking for but had no answer.

  "Ha ha ha ha, is this what you want to know? To wait on such a boring thing? You and I are monsters, and you have degenerated!"

  The Water God just ignored Shaya Longnis’, the Sky Sword's derision. It continued asking, but it sounded more like a retrospect rather than a question.

  "Who is beloved by this world? Who is the most unique person that obtained blessings from all beings and is willing to offer his life to fight for
this world? Who worked hard day and night and likes this world with all his heart?"

  "The god's bride isn't decided by the god or being conferred upon by a mortal king. It should be the person who wants to do something for this world and never gives up."
