Chapter 1188: The Singer of the Void Sea and the Star Core Devourer
The Life Forbidden Zone outside the atmosphere of the planet is merely a desolate area for extraordinary beings. These extreme environments are trivial to them; even within the Void, where material space ceases to exist, extraordinary beings manage to thrive.
It’s simply a matter of comfort versus discomfort.
But that does not deter them from seeking entertainment! Not just witches, but other races as well.
“You are not my match; it’s not your place to provoke me.”
That crisp and cold voice echoed like waves in the Life Forbidden Zone outside the Witch Academy’s planet.
For those always monitoring the witches’ movements, witnessing such a scene immediately attracted a crowd.
The one who spoke… or to be exact, not entirely human, had a somewhat human appearance, but her legs were replaced by those of a fish.
One could say she is akin to the “merfolk of the Sea Tribe” seen in the Main World.
However, this one is a wanderer of the Void Sea, a member of the Void Sea Tribe! A born extraordinary mermaid!
A terrifying existence capable of treating the Void as a deep sea from birth!
Like the initial extraordinary witches, they are born extraordinary without the weak form of an ordinary being preceding their extraordinary stage. Yet, they have become the target of sea tribes, making them natural followers!
That cold statement matched her pride. Merely a whisper, yet it left the confronted witch dazed, not wanting to deal a fatal blow simply to avoid total annihilation.
“It’s over~ it’s the Singer of the Void Sea, we’re doomed.”
Faced with such adversity, the nearby witch also took a humorous stance.
But there was no despair in her tone, as they were aware that just recently two “heavyweight” witches had arrived at the Witch Academy.
Therefore, the onlookers should have the self-awareness of guests. This isn’t their stage, so there’s no need to force themselves on it. This is a battle between geniuses; without capability or means, one would simply be obliterated.
The so-called protracted battle is merely both sides of equal strength seeking each other’s flaws.
However, Elia Starry arrived sooner than expected.
With just a glance, Elia understood she was up against someone formidable, but…
“It seems you are not the one who destroyed my Space Maze.” Elia Starry frowned and asked.
“You also don’t seem to be the witch I was waiting for, but I recognize you, Elia Starry. I didn’t expect you to seek refuge in the Main World?” said the mermaid “young girl.”
“Who are you looking for?” Elia frowned, surprised that the other party was waiting for this person.
However, the response to Elia did not come from that mermaid, but from the group of followers beside her:
“Of course, it’s the protagonist of this Coming-of-Age Ceremony; her name is Yang Yuelan, right?”
I should not be mistaken; I remember she returned to the Main World. So, did she establish her authority by killing some lowly sea creatures?
She has been missing for a while; could it be she’s scared? If she is scared, why hold a Coming-of-Age Ceremony for her…
Before the opponent could finish, the surrounding space surged, and the inexplicable spatial strangulation instantly stirred up a fold in space, dazzling like a starry trace.
“Did I ask you? What right do you have to interrupt me and speak to me?” Elia Starry raised her hand without courtesy, teaching the other party a lesson.
If no one comes to his aid, he would be injured if not dead from that strike.
At the last moment, the Singer of the Void Sea indeed took action, casting a rune that resonated like a musical note, the reverberating sound draining away the material space!
Watching the notes wearing down the Great Space Technique, Elia’s gaze became serious.
The other party did not use the power of a Great Spellbook level, but in a single gesture, managed to eliminate the deadliest part of her Great Spellbook’s spatial effect, at least indicating a deep understanding of the spatial dimension.
Otherwise, spell effects cannot be casually worn down, let alone the Great Spellbook.
“My straightforward follower wouldn’t mind this, would she, Space Weaving Maiden?” Elia remarked bluntly.
“Well, that depends on my mood; to be honest, I’m quite irritated right now.” Elia responded ungraciously.
“If you’re feeling irritated, I could sing you a song as an apology, how about that?”
“Hey~ don’t do it. That’s Ren Lan Aurora, the Singer of the Void Sea…” Veronica interjected from the side.
“I obviously know who that is.” Elia Starry glanced helplessly at Veronica.
“No need for a song; I’m afraid you’ll want our performance fee after you finish singing.” Elia Starry disdainfully replied.
And the “fee” she referred to,
Of course, meant lives!
If she sang a song for the other party,
It would be akin to directly engaging in their domain, the power of which even extraordinary beings might not withstand, and the Witch Academy behind them would inevitably face complete annihilation.
And as the atmosphere grew tense, with Elia contemplating whether to engage the other party in battle, a distant roar suddenly sounded:
“The Space Weaving Maiden is my opponent!”
This voice immediately surprised many; had the geniuses all gathered together?
All eyes turned toward the direction of that voice, and there, they saw a massive shadow, undulating as it swam toward them like a large fish.
The Void Whale Tribe!
An extraordinary species of beasts within the Void!
Watching that enormous body, unimaginable in size, as the whale tail lashed out and obliterated a desolate planet, the horrific explosion silently unfolded in the Life Forbidden Zone.
This scene made countless logistical witches break into a cold sweat…
The planets of the Main World are not for these guys to wreak havoc!
Do you know how long it takes to repair a shattered planet?
Even a witch mastering Star Alchemy would need at least a day’s time!
Although a day’s time does not include reshaping the original surface, especially since this is a desolate planet; there’s no need to be that meticulous.
“That… that’s the Star Core Devourer, Kanos!” Someone quickly recognized the newcomer.
“Wow! It’s him? The beast tribe has come to the Main World as well?”
“Run! Stop watching the show! This madman won’t spare anyone when he goes crazy!”
“What are you afraid of? Are the strong ones just decorations here? This is the witches’ territory~”
But unlike the watching crowd, at this moment, the three main players, Elia, Veronica, and that mermaid Ren Lan, had peculiar expressions.
Soon, Veronica’s expression shifted from strange to one of amusement.
Because… the distant Star Core Devourer Kanos is one of Ren Lan Aurora’s suitors…
In the Void, many races can form cross-race combinations, after all, the essence of their reproductive behavior is to combine and give birth to a new bloodline life.
Not every race is as pure as the Witch Race, or rather, witches seem to not need the process of combining to nurture; it’s more of a post-assimilation among the same race.
But for the beast tribes… they can be even larger; it’s not that they are attracted to Wang Lan Aurora’s beauty, but value her as an exceptional bloodline nurturer. After all, the Void Sea Tribe, perceiving the Void as the ocean, is an extremely rare and terrifying extraordinary race, with their numbers being exceedingly few.
As the Star Core Devourer approached, he seemed to “smell” the aura of the powerful, within which there also seemed to be a hint of a familiar aura, inexplicably showing less of his brutal nature.
“I didn’t expect to meet you here; this is truly fate between us…”
Originally roaring voice suddenly, at this moment, sounded almost congenial, as if to imply a semblance of amiable simplicity.
And Wang Lan Aurora’s expression had darkened; she truly didn’t expect to encounter him here.
Not that she found him particularly annoying… well, to be honest, she did find him quite annoying.
If he had just taken a shot at her from the stance of a talented individual, perhaps some friendship could have formed, but his excessive clinginess is what really gets to her.
They’ve had absolute fights before, and while she won every time, it was only because he refused to make serious moves.
So this irritated her! It was practically an insult!
But as a member of the Void Sea Tribe, he was completely unphased by most attacks, and Wang Lan had to admit she probably really had no way of dealing with him.
Though she could use her trump card… but that would fully expose her means, and she did not wish to do so.
“Hey, is this a suitor coming?” Veronica the Succubus said, fanning the flames.
After all, one side is a powerful suitor, and Wang Lan has quite a few followers around her, and from their protective demeanor, it was evident they had special feelings for Wang Lan.
Veronica, being a Succubus~ how could she not see the little schemes in these guys’ hearts?
However, in face of Veronica’s incitement, Kanos merely glanced over and disdainfully ignored her.
Simply because she is a Succubus… a witch.
To a simple-minded beast like Kanos, Succubi are a terrible species; they are not good partners but only waste the refined essence of their extraordinary offspring through various repulsive means.
Nurturing extraordinary offspring is difficult under normal circumstances; wasting it signifies something terrible!
Thus, Succubi are unequivocally bad!
This dismissive action
Immediately provoked Veronica, who was well aware of the connotation behind this.
As expected, even a beast, no matter how large its brain, is still quite one-track-minded!
“You… what do you take me for? I’m not such a Succubus! I’m a witch!” Veronica indignantly pointed at Kanos and yelled.
“A witch?” Kanos’ enormous body seemed to cast a pitying glance, “That doesn’t change anything.”
“Ha! You want to fight, huh?” Stung once more, Veronica said nothing further, but subtly issued a threat.
Originally, she thought they were dealing with just Wang Lan Aurora making trouble, and she could enjoy herself watching the fun, but now… now neither of them could afford to rest.
Watching Kanos gradually shrink, circling around Wang Lan Aurora and her group, it was as if she was his whole world; Veronica truly couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
“Shall we make a move?” Veronica turned her head, catching Elia’s attention and inquired.
She hadn’t engaged in a single fight since coming to the Main World, and her ranking had long since fallen beyond ten thousand.
Now she wouldn’t mind warming up a bit.
“Uh-huh.”
“Which one do you want?”
“Well, since you made the first move this time, you go ahead, and I’ll take what’s left.” Elia spoke.
After all, she wasn’t fond of either of the two before her; one was looking for trouble, and the other had broken her Space Maze, and in the end, they were bound to fight.
“I’ll take that big whale, then. Its mouth is truly filthy, and I have no idea what goes on in that head of its.”
Veronica pointed at the giant fellow in the distance and said, “This time I must cut that spot off!”
“Well, good luck! The Void Whale Tribe is generally a tank defense-type; your little Incubation Magic may not work well on this simple-minded guy.”
“Wrong! It works better on the simple-minded ones!” Veronica smiled confidently and corrected immediately.
“Is that so?” Elia raised her brows slightly, then seemed to think of something and did not argue further.
Then they heard an enraged roar from the Star Core Devourer!
“Damn Succubus! You ignore me, and you still come up to me; looking for death!”
“Wrong! It’s a witch!”
As they watched the large and small figures leave together like a play, Wang Lan Aurora visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank your friend; I apologize for my previous impolite behavior, but I think… as things have developed to this point…”
“Let’s have a fight.” Elia Starry stated straightforwardly.
Then she took out a magic wand that seemed quite ordinary, but even the most ordinary wand wielded by a Holy Realm Witch is an artifact!
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called a weapon but a burden, and an ordinary weapon would be worse than fighting unarmed.
“Legend has it that the Space Weaving Maiden’s Grand Space Technique is unparalleled; this time, I’d like to experience it myself.”
With Wang Lan Aurora’s words, her followers discreetly backed away, as if waves were surging around her, creating sounds of crashing water.
If one looked closely, they would see countless finely tuned tonal runes distorting the material space, forming a phenomenon as if intricate order was reorganizing everything in the Life Forbidden Zone!
This is the means of geniuses; they do not belong to the realm of ordinary tactics but bring the most inescapable dilemmas upon their enemies, delivering a fatal blow in their strongest field!
“What a coincidence! I too have heard of the Singer of the Void Sea’s name… it seems you also hold the power of a Great Spell; are you trying to hide your trump card from me?”
“……”
Wang Lan Aurora fell silent but did not refute, because she truly possessed this Great Spell power.
They differ from the Witch Race, which can produce spells as spellbooks; if it were purely a contest of Great Spell power, using it outside of her main domain would undoubtedly be using her shortcomings to confront the other.
More importantly… her Great Spell had always been a deterring presence, and using it at a moment when it does not absolutely suppress a Grand Space Technique would be like recklessly unveiling her trump card. She would rather concede than do that.
Her target is that witch, Yang Yuelan; it is rumored she possesses two… no, three, to be accurate, one is a common Great Knowledge Tree, and another is a Great Spellbook related to wisdom, but was impulsively taken apart by the other, hence counted as half.
As for the third, that is undoubtedly the terrifyingly effective “Great Ordinary Spell”!
