Chapter 111: Don’t Be Scared, I’m Here to Save You!
The feather rain that covered most areas finally disappeared.
These terrifying feathers imbued with the power of supernatural star eclipses couldn’t be casually observed by ordinary people.
Only the Star Holders could see this spectacle.
And seeing this phenomenon sent the Order of Sequence in Waltonka into chaos.
This news quickly spread to the Church’s headquarters, causing even more chaos there as well.
Scared?
Yes, very scared!
Because there were ancient books in the Order of Sequence archives that described such a scene.
The appearance of this phenomenon indicated the start of the destruction of the Holy Church, spreading like wildfire across half the country and turning polluted regions into purgatory on Earth.
Now that they could see black feathers that exuded the stench of star eclipses falling from the sky, the heart of the Pope almost gave out from fright.
Initially, he thought the Demon King had descended again, spreading calamity throughout the nation, turning the Free Country into the modern world’s first nation to perish due to star eclipse disaster.
How horrifying!
Although scared stiff, the Pope still gathered all his high-ranking officials in the shortest time possible, spreading the news of the holy war to all the Order of Sequence churches in the Free Country, intending to rally all forces to quickly march on Waltonka and strike down the Demon King.
No matter how frightening the Demon King was, even if the Rising Sun Theater Group’s members lent him their strength, the Order of Sequence couldn’t back down.
The downfall of the Holy Church before might have been destined; even though many cheered for its end, everyone welcomed it.
But this wasn’t the case for the Order of Sequence now.
Even as a religious organization, it aimed to save all living beings and protect societal order.
Even if it were doomed, it would face destruction on the righteous path of saving the world.
At least, more people would feel sad and remember its legacy, instead of clapping joyfully.
In the future, even if the Order of Sequence had to rebuild, it would receive substantial support.
The current Pope had lofty aspirations.
Even if all the Order of Sequence’s forces together couldn’t defeat the Demon King, they would at least be recognized for their effort.
However, just as the Pope was about to personally lead the Holy Knights to Walmarta with a valiant spirit, another surprising message came back.
The feather rain had mysteriously vanished.
Those feathers hadn’t caused any panic, nor did they reach ordinary people. Even the Demon King remained invisible, seeming as if he were just playing a prank.
Hold on.
The Pope remembered today was the Rising Sun Theater Group’s day for their grand performance.
Could this grand performance be one monstrous prank?
If so, talk about pulling off something so corny!
For now, no details were confirmed.
The Pope hesitated but eventually contacted the Church representatives in Waltonka to verify the situation.
If there really was a Demon King rampaging and hurting people, he’d dispatch troops immediately.
He hoped it wasn’t that terrible.
Scene shifts.
Night Star and company weren’t outside but had instead returned to the Rising Sun Theater.
Since the Audience Performer had been transformed into a star eclipse, dealing with this was urgent.
Currently, the theater group members surrounded the transformed Audience Performer, looking extremely worried.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Umm… Not too bad… for now.”
Night Star sat in the audience seats, feeling slightly strange.
To be honest… transforming into a star eclipse felt weird.
Like her integrity or soul was slipping away.
Alright, now’s not the time for silly jokes.
Forced by three first-generation supernova star eclipses, Night Star’s conversion was complete.
Although she maintained sanity, fully transforming into a star eclipse was imminent.
She sensed that soon, her consciousness would be overtaken by the Wish Princess, resulting in her losing her sense of self entirely.
Kong Yu Bai appeared beside her with a concerned expression.
“Can we reverse the transformation?”
“Ummm… I don’t know.”
Night Star examined the newfound power within her, feeling like she possessed omnipotence.
If truly powerful, might she wish to return to human form then?
This idea surfaced in Night Star’s mind as she started making a wish.
“I wish to revert from being a star eclipse to a human…”
But several seconds passed with no change.
She felt the Wish Machine refusing to fulfill her wish.
Thus, she was unable to revert back to human form through this power.
It seemed the Wish Princess wanted to say:
“Once you make a decision, you own its consequences. The Wish Machine won’t grant a regretful wish.”
With these words echoing in her mind, Night Star’s mood darkened instantly.
“Uh… This is not good.”
Her star eclipse state was irreversible.
She couldn’t switch like Mo Rabbit did, utilizing other powers.
Even Fraudster’s abilities didn’t help.
If it involved returning to human form, the Wish Machine wouldn’t agree, teaching Night Star a harsh lesson.
Tears welled up in Night Star’s eyes, feeling aggrieved and helpless.
“Did I have to choose this method? Three supernova star eclipses, and my mental strength is only C-level. How can I turn things around… You limited my chances to grow, but then trapped me here in this weak state. Beyond reversing the transformation, what else can I do?”
Night Star’s constant C-level mental strength was indeed the Wish Machine’s fault.
It refused external enhancements, even from half of Book Yao’s mental power or Hilo’s.
Other mental strength enhancement methods discovered by other Star Holders proved ineffective.
The Wish Machine seemingly intended to keep Night Star stuck at this stage, preventing any growth.
In such desperate situations where she had to rely solely on emotional conversion to a star eclipse, no other options seemed available.
Is this what the Wish Machine wanted?
Trapped as a supernova star eclipse now, with no force able to change that and no hope of maintaining her self-awareness—much like d*ath.
Night Star trembled in fear.
No one could save her.
“Someone… please save me…”
A tear of helplessness hit the ground amid the serene theater silence, echoing loudly.
Even her usually supportive theater troupe comrades seemed powerless to help, resorting only to silence.
Meanwhile,
Back at the Night Watcher Base in Yun Chang City.
Night Lan, chatting with friends, heard a voice.
“Please… someone save me…”
Hearing this, she stood up, bewildered.
“Did any of you hear something just now?”
The others shook their heads in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“It sounds like someone’s crying for help, and I recognize it…”
Night Lan frowned, placing a delicate hand over her heart, feeling her pulse racing and heart aching from a wave of unspoken sorrow and despair.
Finally, she knew who needed help.
“I’ll be right back, will be back shortly,” she said.
Night Star left the room without glancing back and swiftly raced upstairs to the roof of the base building.
Gazing at the glittering night scenes, Night Lan took a deep breath and made a wish to the stars.
“Please let me go to Night Star.”
A blinding white light flashed, and Night Lan vanished in an instant.
Opening her eyes, she found herself in a dimly lit theater.
Nearby, a silver-haired girl, sobbing softly, looked utterly defeated.
Seeing this, Night Lan realized something, sighed deeply, stepped closer with a warm smile.
“Night Star, don’t be scared. I’ve come to save you.”
