Chapter 1834 - 1354: Conquering the World
Master of Void Realm.
This is probably the first time Ash declared his ambition to the world. He has always been the go-with-the-flow type, much like a wild Lalafell, only running fast when realizing he’s about to be slaughtered, otherwise just wishing to laze around. If the girls would allow him a bit of personal time, that would be perfect... He imagined countless times, if he hadn’t been caught and sent to Shattered Lake Prison, if he had teamed up with Sword Maiden to explore the Void Realm and maintained a long-distance romance, if he hadn’t ridden a motorcycle with the Witch to escape the Gospel Imperial Palace, if he hadn’t fought against the Divine Being with Silver Lamp in the Silent Spiral, if he hadn’t fought side by side with Vishi in the cage of Allstars, perhaps he could have become a true pure-hearted warrior and led a peaceful and happy life with Sonia.
It was Fate that repeatedly thrust him into the storm without respite, and it was the End Group of Five who composed the grand drama of his tumultuous journey. Looking back at the end, Ash was amazed at how many trials he had traversed, surviving each sleepless night by sheer grit.
But he never resented his life.
If he had never stepped into the river of Fate from the start, he could indeed avoid much sadness, but he would also miss out on so much beauty.
Ash had experienced many moments of helpless despair, but not once was it because he hesitated and missed the opportunity. He’s indeed like a lazy Lalafell, but when it was time to go all out, he didn’t hesitate for a second to risk his life. Although everyone who knows him invariably gripe that it’s his biggest flaw... they all follow him without hesitation onto the ever-changing battlefield.
What kind of ending could match such a tumultuous journey?
Ash’s seven magnificently unfolded Void Wings at this moment were his answer.
Even if the conclusion is destined to be a tragedy, it ought to be a tragedy without regrets.
Seeing Ash’s dazzling Void Wings, Dazzling Star’s expression gradually cooled. Although she usually doesn’t show her emotions, maybe due to Filly’s influence, even in her Divine Lord state, there’s a hint of youthful animation in her brows, like Filly’s joy at seeing Ash bubbling inside, an emotion reflected in her eyes even if her face doesn’t show it.
However, at this moment, Dazzling Star’s anger seemed to completely overshadow Filly’s humanity, her eyes like a frozen mirror lake reflecting the moonlight, leaving only imperial arrogance.
"Is this the answer you’ve deliberated over?"
She spoke coldly: "I thought you might either prepare thoroughly to contend for Eight Wings, or awaken to reality and abandon your fantasies... and yet, you reveal these clumsy wings? Are you underestimating me, Ash Heath!"
Ash’s Void Wings were not unchanged; compared to six days ago, his silver, gold, rainbow, colorless, Hell’s Void Wings all showed various degrees of growth, in length as well as in depth of color and brightness, enough to outshine the billion lights in the star sea; there was no star brighter than him across the seven layers of Void Realm.
But such progress is utterly insignificant in the Supreme battle.
Dazzling Star slowly unfolded her Void Wings; her first six wings, nurtured for thousands of years through Wonders, had all transformed into Star Blue Sword hue, and her supreme tail feathers were star-blue shining from the start. However, aside from her Void Wings, Ash’s vibrant sword wings swayed behind her like an exotic tail, like they were her eighth Void Wing.
Compared to Ash’s grand myriad, Dazzling Star’s Void Wings were more pure, closer to the ultimate Eight Wings of magic!
"Are these new Bonds, your final achievement in these six days?"
Dazzling Star’s eyes glowed with a cross of brilliance, making Ash feel that everything about him was laid bare before her: "Is this the extent to which you can answer Filly’s painstakingly gifted present? You haven’t even conquered the Seven Heavens, nor collected their Heavenly Kingdom or World Secret Domain into your grasp... with your ability, the Extreme Master of Blood Moon, Lord of Infinite Abyss, and Imaginary Music Master might be challenging, but isn’t the All-knowing Weaver easy for you to handle?"
Ash’s mouth twitched, "I guess what you’re implying is the All-knowing Weaver is more attuned to the times, right?"
"And yet, for six days you’ve done almost nothing—just lounging around in your Heavenly Kingdom, rushing to enjoy each moment."
Dazzling Star’s voice grew increasingly cold, yet the anger surged as if burning through her gut, mixed with an indescribable disappointment... Surely this is Filly’s feelings, where her own anger is stirred purely by Ash’s attitude... The Starry Sky began accelerating, her presence like the sole protagonist of this stage, gazing down with aloof contempt at the insignificant Ash:
"And yet here you are boldly before me, declaring you’ll never surrender, vying for Eight Wings in the name of a Master of Void Realm..."
"I thought you were my equal."
She slowly closed her eyes, "Turns out I was mistaken."
The Starry Sky halted in that moment, and the supernova eruptions from all directions lit up the star sea, the silent, seething anger and disappointment igniting the seventh layer of Void Realm completely.
Ash collected his expression, speaking earnestly: "I haven’t underestimated you, Dazzling Star."
"Unable to hold, unable to release."
Dazzling Star ignored Ash’s protests; her voice became the sole accompaniment to the supernova eruptions: "You claim to have resolved, yet lack the requisite skill, once more like a crying child, hoping for a Miracle to fulfill your wishes... except you and I are supreme of magic—we are the Miracle itself!"
