#269 - On the eve of the decisive battle, the breakup with Mira (2 in 1 order required)
Goddess Calendar 1200 was blocked by a spatial-temporal vortex.
To break through the obstruction, Xiaoyu needed to forge the Aether Source Crystal in his hand into a weapon and then personally cleave through the barrier.
Therefore, after burying Dr. Silva, Xiaoyu first returned to his home within the spatial-temporal rift.
In the home, there was a smithy where weapons could be forged.
Xiaoyu handed the Aether Source Crystal to the blacksmith, who nodded and said, "With this, I can forge an Aether weapon."
Following the blacksmith's guidance, Xiaoyu dumped all the precious materials he had collected during his travels in front of the blacksmith.
However, when the blacksmith brought these materials close to the Aether Source Crystal, the crystal reacted negatively, and the weapon's forging could not proceed smoothly.
Isabel, who was watching from the side, asked curiously, "Could it be that the other materials aren't of a high enough grade?"
"That shouldn't be the case."
Xiaoyu shook his head. "These are already the most precious materials I could obtain. Many of them could fetch astronomical prices at the Cecil Kingdom's auction house."
He quickly asked the blacksmith, "Master, what's going on?"
The old blacksmith stroked his beard and analyzed, "I suspect it's not that the materials Mr. Xiaoyu provided aren't precious enough, but rather that we're missing a crucial neutralizing material."
"Neutralizing material?"
"Yes, this Aether Source Crystal is a material with very strong and fierce power, so it's very resistant to other materials. We need an extremely Yin and gentle material to neutralize it during the forging process for the weapon forging to proceed smoothly."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
This kind of material the old blacksmith spoke of sounded difficult to obtain. Now, with the whole world on the brink of destruction, where could they find such a material?
"An extremely Yin and gentle neutralizing material..."
Xiaoyu muttered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he reached into his pocket, rummaging for a while.
After a moment, he pulled out a golden short hair from his pocket.
This short hair was what he found near the frills of the hat after Blue White Princess activated her ultimate skill and reverted back into a hat.
Seeing this golden short hair, Isabel immediately became alert.
Hmm?
Why does this hair look so familiar...
"Master, do you think this material will work?"
The old blacksmith's eyes lit up: "Oh, oh, oh, look at the aura emanating from this material. It might actually work. Try putting it into the furnace and see what happens!"
After Xiaoyu threw this material into the furnace, sure enough, with its neutralization, the Aether Source Crystal no longer rejected the other materials.
After high-temperature smelting, a new one-handed sword appeared in the furnace.
The sword's body had a deep black base, as if cast from black hard stone.
On the sword's surface, the golden short hair transformed into golden lines, dotted in a well-proportioned manner on the dark background, adding a strong sense of oppression to the whole sword, as if it contained endless power.
...
Afterward, everyone piloted the Lace Eve towards the spatial-temporal vortex.
Xiaoyu gripped the Aether Sword tightly, gazing at the spatial-temporal vortex in front of him, the vortex swirling like a black hole.
He took a deep breath, focusing his gaze on the blade. The sword emitted a deep black light, and golden patterns flickered within.
With a low roar, Xiaoyu swung the blade, slashing towards the spatial-temporal vortex. The blade flashed with lightning, like a bolt cutting through the darkness.
The sword's edge collided with the spatial-temporal vortex, emitting a tearing sound!
The moment the sword's black energy touched the spatial-temporal vortex, cracks appeared on the vortex's surface, and the dark edges began to collapse.
Blinding light burst out, and the vortex obstruction completely shattered!
...
Afterward, Xiaoyu piloted the Lace Eve back to Goddess Calendar 1200, and Hestia took out the improved Divine Crystal detector.
"I found her!"
She said excitedly, "Fina is currently imprisoned in the deepest part of the Beast Mountain Range."
The Lace Eve flew over the towering Beast Mountain Range, reaching the Beast City.
The Beast City stood atop a dark mountain ridge, shrouded in thick fog, like a forbidden land shrouded in nightmares.
The heavy iron gates slowly opened, emitting a dull sound of chains rubbing together. As soon as they entered the castle, a damp and decaying aura assaulted them. The lights in the corridors were dim, casting eerie shadows.
Fina was imprisoned deep within the castle. Xiaoyu defeated the beast guards along the way, passed through narrow passages, and traversed maze-like corridors, finally arriving at a huge basement.
He quickly found Fina, who was confined in an iron cage room.
"Fina!"
Xiaoyu called out, preparing to rescue his sister.
Just then, with an angry roar, the Beast King reappeared!
"Human, I didn't expect you to find this place?" The Beast King sneered.
"Because the bond of family between us humans is something you cold-blooded creatures can't understand."
Xiaoyu gripped his sword, his gaze firm.
"Heh, then let me see how strong your resolve is."
Suddenly, Xiaoyu was sucked into the cage by a force, while everyone else was blocked outside.
This was a one-on-one duel between him and the Beast King!
The narrow cage made the Beast King's figure appear even taller. Its dark stone skin was covered with scales as hard as iron, and its red eyes were filled with ferocity. It let out a low growl, shaking the entire dungeon.
Xiaoyu gritted his teeth, took a firm step, and the one-handed sword in his hand shone with a strong Aether light.
The Beast King roared and lunged at Xiaoyu with its huge claws. Xiaoyu dodged the attack nimbly, then counterattacked fiercely, the blade cutting through the air, slashing towards the Beast King's abdomen.
However, the scales blocked Xiaoyu's attack. The Beast King roared and lashed out with a huge tail strike at Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu dodged the tail's attack by sidestepping. His swordsmanship was nimble and sharp, each swing accurately striking the Beast King's weak points.
"Not bad, it seems your recent adventures have made you improve."
The Beast King sensed Xiaoyu's threat, and it became even more manic, releasing dark magic attacks.
Shadow storms raged in the basement. Xiaoyu skillfully weaved through them, sometimes leaping up, sometimes dodging, constantly maintaining a close pursuit of the Beast King.
The battle entered a stage of close combat. Xiaoyu tried his best to block every attack, sweat seeping from his forehead.
Just as the Beast King was about to launch a fatal blow, Xiaoyu suddenly seized an opening and flashed behind the Beast King. He concentrated the Aether energy within his body, causing the long sword to release a dazzling light.
"Aether Airflow Slash!"
Xiaoyu roared and swung his sword, an astonishing sword energy sweeping out, heading straight for the Beast King's vitals. The Beast King's eyes widened, desperately trying to block, but the sword energy pierced through the scales and cut through its body.
In the midst of a violent explosion, the dark Beast King let out a miserable howl, covered its wound, and fled into the darkness.
...
"Fina, I'm here to save you!"
Xiaoyu was about to unlock the shackles on his sister when suddenly!
From under Fina's feet, a dark hexagram array appeared.
The array released a huge force, pushing Xiaoyu away heavily.
In the array, the evil god Mira slowly appeared, she hugged Fina from behind, murmuring at the corner of her mouth:
"Hehe, you're one step too late. I've already prepared the fusion ritual with your sister. We will completely merge into one and become a new entity. By then, I will become the most powerful and worshiped god in the entire Lanya continent!"
Xiaoyu said coldly, "You've been coveting the power of the Divine Crystal in my sister's body from the beginning, haven't you?"
Mira chuckled:
"It seems you already know your origins, child of the Silva family. That's right, I glimpsed the disaster that would happen in the future through a dimensional storm that accidentally appeared in this era. From then on, I sensed the powerful energy of the Divine Crystal and always thought about taking it for myself.
And today is the time for the plan to be completed!"
After she finished speaking, the mysterious fusion ritual officially began. Their figures intertwined, and dark energy surged between them, forming an incredible fusion.
Mira's black hair danced in the dark night, and her red eyes flickered with strange light. Fina stood quietly beside her, her eyes wandering, seemingly already controlled by magic.
Suddenly, dark energy erupted, bat wings unfolded behind them, forming a black curtain, and their bodies began to merge, dark ripples entangling them together.
During the fusion process, Mira's bat wings gradually merged into Fina's body, forming a pair of mysterious wings. Dark energy condensed around their bodies, forming a layer of black armor.
At the moment the fusion was complete, the bodies of the two were perfectly integrated!
The newborn monster had the fair skin of a young girl, but her eyes were filled with dark light. Bat wings fluttered in the darkness, inspiring fear.
The newborn evil god Mira looked even more bizarre.
Her limbs were slender and delicate, her claws were exceptionally sharp, and the scales on her armor sparkled with a cold light.
"Ah... what powerful strength, I'll use you as the first sacrifices!"
The newborn monster let out an evil growl, the tone of which was like a fusion of Mira and Fina.
"Fina..."
Facing the newly fused evil god girl, Xiaoyu looked dim.
"Don't be discouraged, Fina has only just been fused, there's still hope to extract her again!"
Isabel came to his side and raised her sword.
Ada, Diemei, and Hestia also broke into the cage.
The newest novels are first released at Liu9ShuBa!
The five stood in a row and launched an attack on the evil god.
Xiaoyu gripped his weapon, and the Aether divine light surged from the sword, forming a halo.
The evil god launched a large number of annihilation particle attacks, like lightning across the battlefield. Xiaoyu stuck close to the ground, nimbly dodging the deadly attacks. His sword danced like the wind, each swing accurately hitting the opponent's torso.
The evil god girl unfolded her wings and her limbs began to thrust continuously!
Ada used the light gun in her hand to shoot, Hestia's jet engine flickered violently. She skillfully dodged the monster's attacks, used her mechanical arm to snipe, and launched high-energy electromagnetic pulses, the resulting energy fluctuations tearing the monster's defense.
"Roar!"
The evil god roared to the sky, and a dark light ball suddenly appeared in her palm, smashing towards everyone.
Isabel offered the holy shield in her hand, blocking the evil god's attack, and released the power of healing and purification.
After the evil god girl's health was reduced, she entered the next form.
Rumble rumble...
A gate like the gate of hell rose suddenly, and a large number of scaled-down evil god monsters poured out from inside!
Diemei released her demon power, quickly shuttling around the monsters, causing group attack damage to the monsters.
For a time, black light splashed everywhere, and sword shadows crisscrossed.
The live broadcast barrage was stunned: "Damn, this scene is so exciting."
During the battle, Xiaoyu suddenly discovered that the connection points of the evil god's bat wings were weak points, and that was the key to the fusion!
He exchanged glances with the other girls, reaching a tacit understanding.
Isabel resisted the offensive in the front, Ada and Hestia used shooting to break the evil god's center of gravity, while Diemei blocked the support of other summons.
Under their cover, Xiaoyu accelerated towards the evil god, using the sword to launch a precise slash, hitting the fusion point of the wings.
The evil god let out a sharp howl, and the power of darkness suddenly weakened.
At the gap in the blade, a golden light spurted out.
The fused body began to disintegrate, the dark aura gradually dissipated, and Fina's body was released from the fused state.
"Why, ah ah ah ah ah! Why did you destroy my plan!"
Mira let out a last hysterical roar, her remnant body began to tremble, the power of darkness disintegrated, and finally disappeared in a flash of light.
Xiaoyu woke up Fina, who had fallen to the ground.
"Brother... I knew you would come to find me..."
Xiaoyu told Fina the truth about their origins and the mission they had to shoulder.
But they decided to return to Karapam Village before setting off to the dimensional vortex for the final battle with that phantom.
...
When Xiaoyu brought Fina back, the small courtyard in front of their house seemed unusually quiet, the breeze blowing, the leaves rustling.
Mom Jessica was sitting blankly in the yard.
She turned around and heard the movement. She fixed her eyes and the scene in front of her stunned her.
She saw Xiaoyu standing at the door at a glance and the girl beside him.
Jessica instantly put down the housework in her hand, her eyes full of shock and joy. She rushed forward a few steps and grabbed Xiaoyu's hand.
"Xiaoyu, you're finally back. I thought something dangerous had happened to you."
Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Mom, I'm fine, and... I brought Fina back."
Jessica's tears were swirling in her eyes. She looked at Fina closely, making Fina a little cramped.
"Fina, is that you? My daughter, you're finally back."
Fina nodded and said shyly, "Mom, I miss you so much."
Jessica's emotions could not be suppressed. She hugged Fina in her arms, tears streaming down uncontrollably. The mother and daughter hugged tightly, and this moment seemed to return to the time when they were separated many years ago.
...
At dusk, Karapam Village returned to tranquility, and Jessica's home was particularly lively.
To celebrate Fina's return home, Jessica held a grand banquet, and the villagers all came to join in.
The yard was filled with the aroma of food, the tables were full of delicacies, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.
The village chief, having drunk quite a bit, boasted to the surrounding villagers:
"I told you all before, Little Yu would definitely become the greatest Moe Fighter, becoming the pride of our village.
Look at him, even starting with a Slime Girl, he's still thriving."
The other villagers laughed, "Village chief, don't just speak wise after the event."
Everyone burst into laughter, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Mom, you've taken care of us for so many years, haven't you ever gotten married?" Little Yu said with emotion, looking at Jessica.
Jessica nodded with a gentle smile:
"Yes, you two are the most important beings in my life."
"Where did you find us?" Fina asked curiously.
"18 years ago, in the forest next to Casipam Village.
I remember that day, I was collecting herbs in the forest when I suddenly heard crying. Following the sound, I found you. You were so pitiful in your swaddling clothes."
She gently stroked Fina's hair and continued:
"At that time, I decided to take you home and raise you to adulthood. Although I don't know where you came from, you were like angels descended from heaven, giving me endless happiness."
Ripples appeared in Little Yu's eyes:
"Actually, during this trip, I saw my biological father's last moments."
Jessica's expression dimmed: "I see..."
"But, in my heart, you will always be my mother," Little Yu said softly.
"Me too!" Fina also chimed in.
The family of three hugged tightly.
...
After a short rest in Calapam Village, the group prepared to re-embark on the Lace Eve and sail towards the Dimensional Vortex.
At the village entrance, Jessica and the villagers saw them off.
"Mom, the world may be unstable recently, you and the villagers should stay at home and not go out."
"You must come back safely!" Jessica said with a worried expression.
Waving goodbye to the people in the village, Little Yu glanced at the Dimensional Vortex on the distant horizon.
The final battle is about to begin!
