Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

Chapter 906: Her Contract

It's been a long time, sunlight.

How long has it been since I last saw such radiance?

So, the dark canopy shrouding her homeland was created by Cerberus.

That monster, renowned as the strongest Black Beast, indeed possesses such terrifying power.

Even after killing it thirteen times in a row, she could still sense that this colossal creature seemed restricted and unable to unleash its true power in this world.

There is nothing left for her to regret.

Her life ends here.

The legend of the Killing Princess comes to a close here.

She didn't want anyone to see her ghastly and hideous appearance, her flesh assimilated with demon blood.

"Thank you." She raised the greatsword in her hand, and the Killing Princess looked at the black patterns covering her face.

This is the cursed sword that accompanies her in endless slaughter, and also her beloved sword.

She still remembers how thrilled she was when she received this gift from her father on her thirteenth birthday.

Back then, this sword didn't have the twisted appearance like it does now. It was a very splendid sword, adorned with gemstones, and its hilt was as elegant as an angel.

This sword and she were a perfect match. Holding this sword, she had performed countless dazzling dance steps, earning applause for her waltz from everyone.

As the dancing princess, the star of tomorrow, she used to believe so strongly that her dance steps would bring happiness to people.

But that fantasy turned into a nightmare when the dark canopy descended and Cerberus emerged from the depths.

Having lost everything, all she had left was this sword and dance steps that would never be appreciated again.

At that time, she made a choice, a pact with a mysterious entity that no one knew about.

Thus, the waltz that brought happiness to people turned into a murderous sword dance.

Wherever she went, she would inevitably bring endless bloodshed, with countless Demon Humans falling beneath her sword.

And with each Demon Human she killed, her power grew stronger, and her body gradually transformed into that of a demon.

When she had nearly exterminated all the Demon Humans in the outside world, her level of demonization had reached an almost impossible-to-hide extent.

Therefore, she eventually ventured alone into the deepest contaminated area, while she still had not fully turned into a demon, to fulfill her final mission.

She didn't want the people who fought alongside her to see her in such a hideous state. Even though the end of bloodshed was her inevitable fate, she hoped the legend of the Killing Princess would continue.

"Now, I no longer deserve to wear this maid outfit." Completely demonized, she had become the utmost form of a demon.

"I hope that the next person to inherit this greatsword maid will not repeat my tragedy." As she caressed her black maid outfit, the Killing Princess's gaze became gentle.

This is probably the last time she is wearing this black maid outfit. She can feel the demonic flesh within her body stirring, corrupting her final shreds of sanity.

This process is irreversible. From the moment she chose this path of empowerment, it became an unavoidable outcome.

The mental tentacles of those evil gods are about to touch her body.

It is time to end all of this.

My body does not allow you to touch it.

My soul will not become your sustenance.

Accept it, this is my final gift to you!

The princess lifted her demonic sword high, the last rays of dawn falling upon her, like a scene from a myth.

"Dust to dust!"

"Earth to earth!"

"Spirit to spirit!"

"Sacrifice!"

The greatsword pierced through the Killing Princess's chest, impaling her heart and even piercing through the ground behind her, pinning her body to the ground.

Endless azure radiance erupted from the Killing Princess's body, completely overtaken by the demonic flesh within her, emitting a startled roar as if witnessing something unimaginable.

"Boom!" At the deepest depths of the abyss, a certain power completely shattered it into pieces, causing the screaming of the malevolent gods who peered into this world, their mental tentacles obliterated to bits, and even the essence within the abyss torn apart.

"Welcome to the world of Impermanent."

"From now on, forget it, you are no longer human."

The sky was cut open by stripes of azure radiance, revealing the sun that had been concealed for too long.

The grand army of the Holy Alliance saw hope and immediately mobilized, rushing towards the stronghold of the Demon Human.

The war in this world, thanks to the sacrifice of a princess, finally reached its end.

Her final achievements, known only to herself.

The final waltz of the swords, now silenced.

The legend of the Killing Princess concludes here.

...

Yun Xi sensed the determination of the Killing Princess in her final moments and a will stronger than anyone else's.

Drenched in countless blood, she, who had become demonic, never wavered in her original intention.

Even as the strongest demon, she never forgot her goal of bringing peace to this world.

Legend and fame, none of those mattered to her.

Everyone believed the Killing Princess had gone mad, losing herself in endless slaughter.

Anyone who witnessed that figure of madness in slaughter would feel fear, for her killing intent had surpassed the limits of mortal imagination.

In her eyes, there was no trace of human sanity, only endless slaughter could satisfy and fill her.

Even her companions, the other greatsword maids who followed behind her, could not understand why she was so bloodthirsty and crazed in her killing of the Demon Humans.

She didn't even need to rest; she could relentlessly pursue and hunt down a Demon Human who had almost fled to the ends of the world.

As she killed more and more Demon Humans, a certain ominous aura emanated from her body, and many people vaguely sensed the abnormality within it.

Yet, no one dared to speak out because she was an indispensable sword of the Sacred Alliance, the most fearsome and powerful greatsword maid.

Her greatsword was the most powerful and terrifying weapon against the Demon Humans. Even the Demon Humans stronger than her fell under that exceptional magic sword.

The name "the Killing Princess" became a legend, a fearsome legend, the renegade among the greatsword maids.

People would never understand the price she had paid to obtain such power.

What sacrifices did she make to bring about the final peace?

“That contract..." Yun Xi looked at the black maid outfit that finally fell into the abyss, finally realizing who she had made the contract with.

Heavenly Demon, and an Impermanent one, the Supreme Heavenly Demon not recorded in the Paranirmita Vasavartin Scroll.

She gazed into the abyss, and the abyss gazed back at her.

In the end, she also became a part of the nightmare, not as a servant of the abyssal gods, but as a transformed being of a higher order.

She had become a Heavenly Demon.
