Chapter 79: Reversed Fortunes
The possibilities of the wish machine are endless.
Combat is no exception.
If Night Star Lan’s body was handed over to Wish Princess, the flow of battle would be smoother than her own.
Wish Princess knows what wishes to grant, how to solve current problems with minimal cost, and how to break stalemates.
Unlimited spirit energy, maximum weakening, and the powerful forces of the Judgers aren’t issues.
Wishes can eliminate weaknesses introduced by Record Keepers.
This solves consumption woes.
Wish Princess can choose to enhance certain abilities for critical effect.
So what if 【Always Honest】 has a weakness?
Just patch it up with a wish!
What if 【Teleportation】’s mobility goes down?
Wishes can sort that out too.
One just has to bear the corresponding burden.
Making a wish and using other star powers might be a bit different.
The former requires a lot of spirit energy and dealing with drowsiness.
The harder the wish, the sleepier one gets.
At the limits, it’s not about dozing off, but unconsciousness.
Night Star Lan’s B-class spirit energy naturally isn’t to be squandered.
Shao’s spirit energy can’t be used for wishes; it only supports other abilities.
So timing and frequency become crucial.
Night Star Lan won’t make casual wishes since they may have irreparable consequences.
But handing it all to Wish Princess changes the game.
Wish Princess knows when and what’s most cost-effective, aiming for minimal sacrifice for victory.
“Please, Wish Princess,” Night Star Lan said.
“Yes.”
She closed her eyes, giving up control.
When she opened them again, her eyes were a striking gradient of red and blue.
Her two small companions also transformed.
Wish Princess glared coldly at the three First Generation Star Holders.
“Winning is her wish. I’ll accomplish this. Are you prepared?”
As she spoke, their expressions turned serious.
This was an enormous entity on par with the Origin of Stars—even if not at full strength—no small fry.
Wish Princess’s combat skills could be perfect, more suited to fighting than Night Star Lan.
She excelled in anything necessary.
That’s her strength!
Just as the three First Generation holders became wary…
Night and Night Lan’s figures vanished from their spots, reappearing behind the Record Keeper and the Perpetual Mechanism.
In that moment…
Their teleportation flaw was instantly negated, briefly enhanced by a wish. It lasted only a second, no waste.
Silken threads sprouted from their hands, plunging into the bodies of the Record Keeper and the Perpetual Mechanism, entwining their hearts tightly.
Pfft!
bl**d sprang forth!
Scarlet liquid stained the ground as their bodies fell.
Night Star Lan wouldn’t use extreme methods to k*ll nor harm Bai’s minions.
Morality and human decency restrained her.
But Wish Princess wasn’t bounded.
Only Night Star Lan could.
To achieve victory with minimal cost means Wish Princess will push through as long as possible!
Under critical hits…
The Perpetual Mechanism and Record Keeper didn’t d*e—they healed slowly, wounds mending.
How could First Generation Star Holders d*e easily?
They had human bodies, but lacked human frailties.
Yet, suffering such damage, they couldn’t coordinate well with Judgers anymore.
Judger, wielding his massive hammer, descended.
“Teleport.”
Night Star and Night Lan vanished once more.
They appeared next to Judger’s sides.
“Enhance concept interference. Add fear concept.”
Instantly, negative emotions flooded Judger’s mind; ‘fear’ gnawed away at his rationality, making him unable to act coolly.
Countless black feathers danced around them, forming a 2-meter spear radiating menace.
“Add assassination concept to 【Concept Interference】. Remove 【Probability Interference】 limitations, boost instant-k*ll probability.”
Two seconds later, Night and Night Lan launched their spears, hitting Judger’s chest and heart.
Hitting either heart might not cause instant d*ath, but dual attacks dramatically increased the chance!
Instant-k*ll probability triggered.
Judger plunged into a d*ath state, awaiting resurrection.
Elsewhere…
Record Keeper and Perpetual Mechanism slowly stood, their wounds nearly healed.
Suddenly, Night and Night Lan reappeared behind them, strings sprouting anew, blooming fresh crimson blossoms across their chests!
They fell once more.
As First Generation Star Holders, d*ath wasn’t the end.
Like First Generation Star Eclipses, they couldn’t simply “d*e.”
Being a First Generation Star Holder, their journey only truly ends by transcending those generations—like Kuluo’s Origin, Bai’s Origin, or Wish Princess herself.
But the wish machine didn’t extinguish them—just incapacitated them temporarily, like a brief strangling.
Night Star and Night Lan’s spirit energy dwindled rapidly.
Shao’s spirit energy powered the wish machine unexpectedly, driving it.
However, centuries-old power isn’t to be squandered; defeating three First Generation Star Holders requires substantial energy expenditure.
Even when depleted, they found a solution.
“【Always Honest】 resets in one second.”
A new wish realized.
Part of Perpetual Mechanism’s infinite spirit energy was stripped.
Wish Princess’s stored spirit energy grew, far surpassing what she got from Shao!
Fortunes reversed!
Behind Night Star Lan, black wings spread wide, gathering immense spirit energy to bolster feathers.
Some condensed into spears held by Night Star.
“On 【Concept Interference】 add sealing concept. Add 【Existence Interference】 elimination.”
Wish Princess aimed the spear at Perpetual Mechanism and shot.
Ziiip!
Black feather-spear nailed Perpetual Mechanism to the ground, vanishing instantly.
Now sent to Loti Shana’s Star Eclipse Nation, he won’t interfere here nor provide infinite power.
Remaining feathers gathered, forming over a dozen spears, aimed precisely at the resurrecting Judger.
