Chapter 1836 - 1354: Conquering the World (Part 3)

"But you can now abandon it to make the right choice, almost without a shred of hesitation, unlike me who still tries to find the perfect ending, showing that though you love it, you have never tried to possess it. Because you never had it, you don’t care about losing it."

"It’s you who are too weak to abandon what’s meant to be abandoned, unwilling to accept fate." Dazzling Star calmly retorted: "What can be changed and what cannot be changed, what can be chosen and what cannot be chosen, are all fate."

"But in my view, you’re just a coward who’s afraid of getting hurt from playing outside, so you stay in the room and never step out." Ash laughed: "Perhaps you once pursued perfection but failed, so you’ve since solidified your conduct law, achieving the maximum ’right’ within your capability, never pursuing the ’miracle’ beyond it."

"Perfection doesn’t exist, you must pay the price to get the reward, and you’ve taken this law to the extreme, treating everything as something that can be abandoned at any time as the price. So from the beginning to the end, you maintain a heart detached from emotions, watching the world from afar but never approaching, because you are the adult deciding the world’s fate; an adult must be fair and just, how can there be favored children? Once there is favoritism, it may be too hard to let go."

"You’re just like a child who once moved houses, playing with toys at home all day, only daring to watch other children play outside through the window. Because you lost friends due to moving, you choose not to have anymore to avoid losing again."

"How ridiculous, you avoid touching the world, so that you can mercilessly abandon it at a moment like this, just like a child not making friends, so they can move away anytime... You hide in a room called ’mission,’ because only here can you be unharmed; you simply don’t have the courage to step out of the room even for a step; even touching the cotton outside might sting..."

"You’re even more naive than Filly. Filly knows well that her life could abruptly end, yet she keeps striving to live, only willing to sleep once she’s exhausted each day, afraid of wasting even a second. Compared to Filly, you’re just a compliant, naive, excessively self-aware coward playing with ’right’ toys in the ’mission’ room, never daring to step out and touch the world you love!"

"Your last words."

Dazzling Star, expressionless, raised her hand and summoned a ray of starlight, wielding the Gamma Burst Sword that scorched the star sea. In an instant, the starry sky reversed, the brilliance of billions of stars faded, and the Void Realm’s seventh layer seemed ripped in half by the dazzling Sword Light!

"Still quite long."

Four-color Silver Funeral Song!

Ash instantly drew two Sword Circle rings around himself, every blazing Sword Light that crossed the Sword Circle would directly exit through another circle, making him like a missing part of a video, a vacuum in time and space, unreachable and untouchable!

This was the strongest Defense Miracle he had prepared in these days, immune to all damage, standing invincible with no magic invasion!

But within a few breaths, Dazzling Star noticed the intricacy of Silver Funeral Song, making continuous adjustments to the basic technique of Gamma Burst Sword in her onslaught. Just within a dozen seconds, Ash saw the edge of the Sword Circle ring show silver arcs, indicating that the Gamma Burst Sword had already begun to damage the Silver Funeral Song, and Ash had to burn Source Power to continue resisting Dazzling Star’s boundless starlight!

The gap in combat experience and magic realm was too vast... Even though Ash was forcefully grown by the End Five Group, he was still dwarfed by the real towering trees.

Although he could also change the Wonder techniques in the fight to prevent Dazzling Star’s breakthrough, his speed in changing moves was far inferior to Dazzling Star’s. Dazzling Star could even perceive his trend in changing moves ahead of time, simultaneously altering her technique, and once Ash finished changing moves, he found that Dazzling Star instantly broke his new technique!

Like a shadow, hunting relentlessly!

"Judging from the comparison of strength, it seems you are the real child." Dazzling Star’s tone carried a hint of mockery: "If I revive you, in the future don’t speak wildly so easily; that would only expose your weakness."

In front of Dazzling Star, Ash almost really became a younger brother; he couldn’t reach her no matter how he extended his hand, while she only needed to reach out to hold his head, hitting him as she pleased!

"Similarly as a child, you’re the sort who thinks only you have the right, so you take everything on yourself, never discussing with others, a lonely child." Even in absolute disadvantage, Ash remained unperturbed, daring to continue taunting: "I used to be like you too, thinking only I could save the world, not telling anyone, wanting to be a tragic lone hero... Then I got severely taught a lesson."

"But children have many buddies!" Ash laughed loudly: "This time, I don’t need to fight alone, behind me are thousands of troops!"

"Just relying on that Void Wings?" Dazzling Star suspected he might be crazy.

Ash shook his head with a smile, correcting: "Wrong, this time they won’t become my wings helping me conquer the void, rather, I become their wings..."

"Helping them conquer the world!"

What does it mean?

This was the second time Ash mentioned conquering the world, Dazzling Star vaguely sensed it might be more than just a phrase to boost momentum. Moreover, Ash began actively touching the underlying framework of the Void Realm’s seventh layer, the dazzling colors like waves once again crashing into the star sea, attempting to contest the domination of the seventh layer of the Void Realm with her.
