Chapter 4013 The Song of the Purple Moon (64) — Fate's Mischief
They... should have gone down by now, right?
Little Mimi waited for a moment, a smug look flashing in its eyes. Since that's the case, it won't hold back.
—【Dear Mom, I hate this place. Can you take me away from here?】
With a hint of eagerness, Little Mimi looked at Sea God with great anticipation—but to its surprise, what it received was not Sea God's continued obedience, but a light tap from Sea God!
--【Mother?】
Little Mimi, her eyes filled with utter bewilderment, suddenly found herself unable to think straight... Let's go, such a great opportunity, let's go!
But Poseidon simply held its body with a little force, then gently shook its head, as if to say: Don't do naughty things.
His gaze held a mixture of tenderness, advice, and sternness.
Little Mimi was immediately stunned!
No, the temporary owner isn't here anymore!
—I, the ultimate artifact, must go!
In an instant, this [Maze Will], which had never received any education since its inception, made a crazy decision!
Little Mimi's pupils instantly focused, and a twisted vortex as tall as a person appeared in the place it was looking at. Then, something seemed to be "spit out" from the vortex!
It is a black cocoon made of black hair wrapped around itself!
Pink-haired, [Cornebusor], and her creations of fear!
The moment [Coribuso] appeared, [Sea God], who was holding little [Mimi], visibly stiffened... and a slightly puzzled expression appeared on her face at the same time.
Feeling that the strength of [Sea God]'s embrace seemed to have lessened, little [Mimi] instantly lost her grip and flew out of his arms.
—【She is your daughter!】
Leaving behind a line of words written in blood mist, Little [Mimi] instantly flew towards the exit—it wanted to leave this place, leave [Purple Moon], and embark on a magnificent life truly belonging to the [Void Super Artifact]!
At this moment, the Sea God was only staring intently at the black cocoon, seemingly oblivious to Little Mimi's escape—suddenly, the Sea God tore it apart from the air with both hands!
The black cocoon was instantly torn open.
[Coribuso] was curled up like a newborn baby, her face still wet with tears and unease. [Sea God] reached out and took her out of the cocoon, then held her in his arms.
It was as if something was always needed in her arms to fill the "hole" below her abdomen.
"Humph……"
She hummed something softly.
……
—【Hahahahahahaha—!!!】
Blood-red characters, resembling the pages of a comic book, shot into the sky, and Little [Mimi] galloped through the vast canyon of the [Purple Moon] Song like a wild horse!
It even grew a pair of fleshy wings on its eyeball-like body, then soared into the sky, flying completely out of the canyon and overlooking the land of the [Purple Moon] layer!
— [Show yourself, the real me!]
The canyon... the ground in the layered area was shaking violently.
A massive, incredibly thick black root, like a giant dragon, crashed through the thick rock and stretched towards the sky... Then another one followed, and another, hundreds and thousands of them!
Numerous black rootlets now lay flat on the ground, growing wildly into the distance, as if pulling a cart!
Rocks shattered wildly from the cliff, and finally the earth collapsed completely. Then, with the combined action of countless thick roots, an enormous, dark green eye, resembling a plant root, slowly rose from beneath the earth.
The Golden Nightmare Labyrinth: Its Core Structure!
At this moment, the ships of the Purple Moon garrison, which had been following Zhang Bolu's orders and waiting on the edge of the Purple Moon Song, were suddenly shocked!
Faced with a terrifying dark green eyeball, their ships appeared as tiny as ants... even the clouds could only transform into a ring of clouds swirling around it!
Countless black tendrils drooped down naturally and swayed slightly—then suddenly they attacked the ships of the [garrison] troops!
Little Mimi is running away.
But before you run away, you need to store up as much "food" as possible for yourself!
At this moment, Little Mimi accepted all comers and, controlling the maze itself, captured all the pirates' garrison and dragged them into the maze!
"Quickly...quickly inform the King!!"
"We can't get in touch with them at all!!"
"Then...then contact the captains at headquarters! At the very least, get the situation here back, ah..."
—【Fear it, despair it! And then, become my food!】
—【Hahahaha...haha...ha...】
The words in Xiao Mimi's writing suddenly became intermittent, as if a tape had stuck.
— [Something happened...I...for...for...for...]
—[Could it be... Rai... Raizo?]
—【I…don’t…want…】
The large, fleshy eyeball instantly lost its luster—but the maze's plundering did not stop at all. Instead, the tendrils growing from its body spread out again at an alarming speed!
In a short while, the entire Purple Moon was covered by roots!
The roots connect to the main body of the maze, making it seem as if the Golden Nightmare Maze and the Purple Moon have merged into one.
An even larger, dark golden eye slowly opened from [Purple Moon]!
An "eye" has already appeared once on [Purple Moon], but the previous one was fictional, a temporary operation that Little [Mimi] had to perform in order to project onto Boss Luo.
But this time, the "eyes" have become a physical entity.
……
"Professor Xinone, only one stroke remains!" Inside the [Source Room], [Rhea] looked at Madam [Xinone] with burning eyes. "This student hopes that you can complete this final stroke!"
"I never imagined that what started as a mere game idea would actually evolve into a [super artifact]."
Lady Xinonne showed a look of admiration on her face.
"I'm surprised too!" [Lei Yun] laughed heartily. "But this only proves how excellent our design is! We are the strongest magic creators!"
"This evolution of the labyrinth has nothing to do with your design," Lady Shinone said coldly.
Raya's smile froze instinctively, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher, what are you saying! This is my design! The design you and I created! It's the best! Your return is the best proof! Even if you are my teacher... I won't allow you to say that!"
Madame Xinonne suddenly said, "However, you are right about one thing."
Lei Yun's excited emotions calmed down a bit. He enjoyed being recognized by his teacher... but he felt like he was about to shudder again.
“This final stroke should indeed be done by me,” Lady Xinone said softly. “By me and Raizo.”
"What did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, [Rya] was stunned... At the same time, Lady [Shinone]'s sharp fingers had already silently pierced into [Rya]'s chest, penetrating his heart!
"Teacher, what are you... doing...?"
He stared in disbelief at the fingertip that had once excited him with just a light scratch, the one that had thrilled him in his dreams... Had it really pierced him like that?
"You really like your teacher's fingers, don't you?" Lady [Shinone] sneered slightly, and five finger blades simultaneously grew out of nowhere, pinning [Rya]'s body to the ground.
"Ah... Teacher!!! What are you doing!!!"
"Isn't it what you wanted to share more of my love with you?" Lady [Shinone] instantly withdrew her finger blade, then shot it out again, embedding it in different places on [Rya]'s body. "Don't you know that this is how I've always 'loved' Raizo? So, can you feel it now, the burning 'love' from my teacher?"
"Ah..." [Raya] howled in pain, but showed no intention of fighting back. Even when the finger blade was pulled away from his body again, all he could think of was to crawl with all his might!
Crawling away with difficulty!
However, the finger blade quickly severed his spine, leaving him completely paralyzed from the waist down—it must be said that the vitality of immortal beings is exceptionally tenacious.
"Rhea, you're my favorite student now. Where are you going?"
"Rhea, don't you like your teacher anymore?"
Lady Xinone walked beside the struggling Rhea as if training a dog, occasionally piercing his body with her finger blades—a body that was soon riddled with holes.
"No...you're not like this!! Sinon, you're not like this!! You're not Sinon!!!"
"Rya, have you forgotten something?" Lady Shinone's finger blade lifted Rya up, blood sliding down the sharp blade into her palm. "The me projected by Raizo in this period is also exhausting everything to deal with the darkest fate that has already arrived... Rya, even I feel unwilling and afraid when facing death."
"teacher……"
"So, to become my favorite student, are you willing to give everything for me, Rhea?" Lady [Shinone] began to cut open [Rhea's] skin and flesh: "Or are you just a dark, treacherous, and despicable loser who only covets his teacher's body?"
“I…no…I…I was the one who was born first…”
With a flick of the finger, a fleeting glimpse of light and shadow, like the finest carving knife... a physical body was thus completely and meticulously peeled away, along with the part of the soul belonging to [Raya] within that body.
Lady Xinonne grasped it in her palm and crushed it without any hesitation.
She breathed a sigh of relief and gently embraced Raizo's body, now only remaining, his skinned, bloodied head.
"Little one, you're still the best," Lady [Shinone] said softly. "I'm very satisfied with your work... Now, you can graduate. But in the very end, you'll give your teacher a thank-you gift, won't you?"
The eyes, obscured by blood, suddenly trembled, and Raizo's eyes seemed to open slightly.
"Let you become the final spirit core of the labyrinth, my beloved student." Lady [Shinone] said wistfully, "That way, I will never disappear again... and will truly return to your side."
"You...devil..."
"Thank you for the compliment." Lady [Shinone] cupped Raizo's face, then suddenly lowered her head and bit his lip hard, as if she wanted to devour him. "After all, I, your teacher, am originally a member of the [Demon] clan... So sweet?! Ah, I hate the taste of sweetness the most!!!"
Lady Shinone instinctively pushed Raizo away.
"On the contrary, what I like best is sweetness..." Raizo could only lie sprawled on the ground, his body having long since lost the ability to walk, yet he suddenly let out a mocking sound.
"What are you laughing at!" Lady Xinone's eyes were filled with anger.
“Splitting my soul is so painful…” Raizo muttered to himself. “Fortunately, this pain has also made me a little more clear-headed. After all these years, I finally know what my other side really is.”
"You..." Lady Shinone frowned, "You've known about Rhea's existence all along?"
“He just thought I didn’t know.” Raizo coughed twice. “That’s actually for the best. After all, there are some things he’s better suited to do than I am, especially when it comes to using any means necessary. Just as… just as you said, teacher, my personality is too weak… A person who can’t break through their own bottom line can never become the strongest magic creator, that’s what you said.”
Lady Shinone's face darkened: "Why...why did you allow Raya to secretly carry out his plan?"
"Why..." Raizo's gaze was somewhat unfocused as he murmured, "Perhaps it's because... I also want to... want to see you one more time, and then..."
Lady Shinone's mind was unconsciously drawn to Raizo's words—after all, as a projection of her fears, everything was still centered on Raizo.
"And then I'll tell you!" Raizo suddenly spat out a sharp, bone-like spike from his mouth. "Let me tell you! Shinone, your design is riddled with flaws, utterly rotten!!"
"Naive!" Lady Xinone scoffed, and the bone-like spikes instantly exploded into powder. But in an instant, her expression changed drastically. "Powdered sugar?!"
"Luckily, I met a kind little girl as soon as I left the seal..." Raizo's face showed a mocking expression. "Teacher, I'll draw this last stroke!"
Raizo then struggled to flip his body over... On the floor beneath his body, a not-so-complex alien script formula had been written in blood.
All the formulas in the [Source Room] were instantly activated, and a silver-black light shone all around... The formulas on the floor quickly seemed to "come alive," flying out line by line, and then rapidly merging into Raizo's body.
Lady Shinone, a top-tier magical creation, widened her eyes instantly. The moment these formulas were rearranged in a way that deviated from her impression and merged into Raizo's body, she understood Raizo's true intention.
"So... you've been harboring this one purpose all along, which is why you tacitly allowed all of this to happen?!"
“Yes…” Raizo murmured to himself, “Teacher, immortality is a form of life, right? If that’s the case, why be so fixated on whether it’s a person or a vessel? If you want to overcome the darkest fate, actually… becoming a Void Artifact yourself is also an option.”
To refine oneself into the labyrinth, rather than having others refine oneself into it, to retain one's independence to the greatest extent possible, and to become a truly unrestrained [super artifact]!
Just like those divine artifacts from a previous divine era that were unearthed during the old divine era—becoming a divine artifact, or even a "super divine artifact," is the method Raizo conceived for overcoming his darkest fate!
“However, before I could verify whether this method was feasible, I used an almost ridiculous method to safely survive the darkest period of my life and live into the next era of gods.” Raizo suddenly muttered to himself, “Fate is really hateful, it’s like… a prank.”
……
……
……
……
Amidst a sea of flowers.
In fact, the situation where the power was sealed off, as Zhang Bolu had once said, did not occur.
A mix of familiarity and unfamiliarity mingled as Long Xiruo cautiously made her way through the boundless sea of flowers, guided by the faint whispers of the wind.
And the slightly warm [Holy Marks] on his body seemed to be telling a story in sync.
This place seemed to exist solely for her.
"This isn't the way, you've gone the wrong way."
"Who?"
She was slightly startled and turned around abruptly, but there was no one around.
"On the other side, keep walking, keep walking, don't look back."
It was as if the voice was rising from the deepest part of my heart.
"who are you?"
"You actually know... so please keep going, there's..."
"What is it? Explain yourself clearly!"
"It's too long... just keep walking..."
The conversation abruptly ended, and Long Xiruo felt a sudden emptiness in her heart, leaving only a trace of melancholy and an instinctive sense of the road beneath her feet.
Yes, at this moment, she saw a "path" in the sea of flowers, a dreamlike path woven from starlight, but it was shy, hiding only among the flowers and mud, like a young girl whose emotions were just beginning to sprout.
……
"here it is……"
Even the maid showed a hint of surprise—the atmosphere of the entire [sea of flowers] seemed to subtly express a sense of disgust towards her.
This is a deeper level of opposition—Bai Zhi is unaware of it; she only feels that this "sea of flowers" is beautiful and dreamlike... she even has a feeling of wanting to sleep here forever, and her consciousness begins to gradually drift off to sleep.
"It seems there's something here that belongs exclusively to Miss Long," Boss Luo said calmly. "And it's something she doesn't want anyone... to know about."
The maid frowned. The appearance of the magnetic storm separated everyone, and surprisingly, the power of the [Root] was somewhat restricted here.
"That legendary prince of the empire?" the maid said casually.
Boss Luo remained silent for a moment, then said, "It might not be him..."
