Chapter 274
274~ Shadow~
"Mo, it's about time to wake from the dream."
The dream gradually collapsed, and the essence of the world became increasingly clear...
The most obvious sign was that the entire world had already begun to fall into chaos. Buildings inexplicably bent at the waist, the sky revealed colors that didn't originally belong to it, and there was a moon close at hand...
The dream was accelerating its collapse.
"So what's the method to wake up!?"
As she gradually realized she was in a dream, and moreover her own dream, she could already control it somewhat. But the problem was that facing the increasingly chaotic dream, this little ability of hers seemed utterly useless.
"Miss Mo."
"Huh?"
A familiar voice appeared behind her, startling the Little Princess into whipping her head around.
"Song Siya?"
"Or should I say... Xu Hanhai? Are you Miss Mo or Xu Hanhai?"
As she spoke, Song Siya's lips split open, tearing all the way to her ears.
"I've missed you so much~ You know? When Mother heard the news of your death, she kept hoping this news was false~"
"Now it's good. You didn't die. You became Miss Mo, so hurry up and go back with my son..."
Freezing Point Prison Slaughter Formation!
As magnificent magic power surged toward Song Siya, her entire body instantly froze into an ice sculpture, followed immediately by countless ice spikes breaking through from underground, piercing through the entire ice sculpture.
Under this kind of attack, only a Great Archmage could survive, so this thing was definitely dead.
The Empress judged as such.
But very quickly, she noticed something slightly wrong. The ice spikes created by her magic had somehow been dyed with a trace of black, and it was gradually spreading.
"Mo!"
Pulling the Little Princess away rapidly, before long, the position where they had originally been was instantly swallowed by darkness.
"Xu Hanhai... Mo! You'll never escape my control in this lifetime!!! You couldn't escape as a child, couldn't escape as an adult... even if you're reborn, you still can't escape!!!"
"Damn it..."
Vaguely, she perceived that the Song Siya before her was probably the shadow from the Little Princess's past life, having always lived under the shadow of betrayal and control by her own blood relatives...
"Absolute Zero."
Condensing an ice blade in her hand, the Empress began chanting.
"...Judgment!"
A giant iceberg rapidly fell from the sky, heavily smashing onto this mass of shadow, then exploding.
An iceberg several thousand meters high exploded entirely, instantly razing the vicinity to the ground, also blasting apart the clouds in the sky that had somehow turned dark brown.
In this dream world, although she didn't have control over the dream, her original strength from reality could be projected here.
And under the Empress's protection, the Little Princess survived this explosion.
Meanwhile, the surrounding several kilometers were directly leveled to the ground.
......
"Boom!"
"What's going on!?"
Feeling this tremor, Chen Ze was jolted awake.
What was happening? An earthquake? He remembered Pengcheng wasn't on any earthquake fault line, right? How could there suddenly be such violent shaking?
Before he could recover from his shock, an even larger tremor followed.
What was going on!? Was it the end of the world!?
He hadn't even dated anyone yet!
"Old Chen! Emergency situation. That thing that destroyed an entire fleet in the island nation is now right in the center of Shannan District!"
"What did you say!?"
No... that Miss Mo was still in that area! He had to go...
Huh? Why was he so concerned about a stranger? Clearly, he had only chosen to avoid direct confrontation because of the forces behind her, interacting and monitoring with a very harmonious attitude. Why would he inexplicably care about this stranger?
"Old Chen!? Old Chen!? Can you hear me?"
"Oh, oh... Sorry, I'm heading out right now!"
"Hey! I'm not telling you to go save people. Someone's already gone. I'm telling you to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ze had already disappeared without a trace, already driving his beloved car toward the accident site.
"Hey! You kid...!"
He really didn't know what to say. Why was he so anxious to save people? And this wasn't even within their Criminal Police Brigade's responsibilities!
......
"Mo, it's fine now."
The Empress gently stroked the Little Princess's head.
At this moment, the Little Princess couldn't stop trembling at the sight of the shadow that covered a vast area.
Damn it! Was there really no solution?
The Empress looked at that large pool of shadow, her brain beginning to race.
If this thing caught them, they might not be able to exit the dream world. And the Little Princess's current condition wasn't very good either.
"...Judgment!"
Super-Grade Magic: Absolute Zero Judgment.
Two consecutive Super-Grade spells had already left her somewhat exhausted, but thinking that this was the Little Princess's past shadow, she added another shot.
If anyone was going to bully her, it could only be her. No one else was qualified!
"...Absolute Zero Judgment! Absolute Zero Judgment! Absolute Zero Judgment!"
Nearly draining all her magic power, but this shadow still had nothing happen to it. It just looked somewhat disheveled from being smashed, but in reality, she could sense this thing was completely fine and was still constantly expanding outward, as if wanting to swallow the entire world into its belly.
She had no more magic power left. All the magic power she had previously absorbed was used up under these six consecutive Super-Grade spells.
Originally, with her storage capacity, using it ten times consecutively would be no problem, but because she hadn't absorbed it fully...
Immediately using the remaining time to set up a Magic Power Conversion Magic Circle, the Empress tried to see if she could absorb this shadow.
As the shadow spread near the Magic Circle, a surge of energy entered her body. What converted out was an extremely dark magic power. Observing this shadow up close, she could directly sense a deep despair, a suffocating despair of being controlled.
However, since it could be converted into magic power, that meant this shadow was actually a type of energy. Since it was energy, it could be converted into magic power and absorbed by her.
Glancing at the large pool of shadow that had already spread over ten thousand square meters, the Empress frowned.
Even if it could be converted into magic power, such a massive amount of shadow would take a very long time to convert, not to mention this shadow would continue expanding outward.
Moreover, the magic power converted from this was very oppressive. If she absorbed large quantities, her emotions would probably become very unstable, and she might even harm the Little Princess, once again causing the relationship she and the Little Princess had worked so hard to maintain to collapse.
Even if this relationship was just a little bit.
"Mo."
Just as she was about to ask if Mo could use the dream's master control authority to provide her with some magic power, she closed her mouth the next moment.
The closer they got to this shadow, the more violently the Little Princess's body trembled. Now she had completely lost her strength and collapsed sitting on the ground.
"..."
Forget it, she should think of another solution first.
