Chapter 247: Final Blessing And The Sun’s Judgement
"Oh! Mom, what about those Eggs? How can I hatch them?" Mirabella asked, glancing at the two pulsating Supreme Beast eggs. Even at her new level, the life force radiating from them felt like dormant volcanoes.
"One of the eggs has the Lightning Ability; once you’ve activated the lightning core in the palace, you can place it inside to incubate. The second has the Water Ability, so place it into the water core once you’ve opened it," Genevieve answered calmly. She stepped closer, her expression shifting from maternal warmth to a focused, ancient intensity as she pointed toward Mirabella’s forehead.
"Ok, I should take care of that Star... Mira, once I do this, you will appear outside. I don’t know when I will see you again, but don’t worry... Once I go, all the memories here will be transferred to my other souls, so they’ll be waiting for you."
Mirabella felt a pang of genuine loss. Despite her cold exterior, this fragment of her mother was the only true sanctuary she had found in two lifetimes. She walked toward her and hugged her again, burying her face in her mother’s shoulder. "Thank you Mum, thank you for everything."
Genevieve exhaled softly, her hands stroking Mirabella’s hair. "I didn’t know you liked thanking someone; at least not everything has changed," she teased, though her voice wavered with emotion. She held Mirabella’s shoulders, pushing her back lightly so she could look directly at the glowing mark.
"If Luigi turns against you, just get rid of her. No tool is worth your life."
With those final words, Genevieve’s eyes underwent a terrifying transformation. They turned a brilliant, searing gold, with the silhouette of a red sun manifesting as her pupils. This was the pinnacle of the Sun Family bloodline: Absolute Sun Judgement. It was the progenitor of all ocular powers—even if the Mythic, Celestial, and Soul eyes were combined, they could not hold a candle to the divine authority of the Sun.
BAM!!!
An invisible, celestial force smashed into Mirabella’s skull. The world didn’t just go white; it vanished. She collapsed backward, falling weightlessly as the pocket dimension dissolved into darkness, her consciousness slipping into the void.

[Ten Minutes Later]
[The Hell Desert]
Mirabella slowly opened her eyes. The searing heat of the Hell Desert greeted her, but at Level 390, the temperature felt like a mild summer breeze. She sat up, surveying the horizon. The massive sandstorm had passed, leaving the dunes eerily calm.
"Huh?" She summoned her system interface, her eyes scanning the status logs. Two notifications were highlighted in ominous grey:
{Title: Bride of the Great King: LOCKED.}
{Skill: Ultimate Void: LOCKED.}
{5,000,000 Stats points Had been removed from all Stats.}
"Seems I can’t control all the monsters with my title or instantly kill any opponent now," she mused, dusting off her uniform. The "cheat codes" she had hoped to relied on were gone, replaced by a raw, overwhelming power that was entirely her own.
She stood up, her aura causing the sand around her feet to vitrify into glass. She turned to Cupcake, who was already alert. "Go and bring me a Kraken," she ordered.
"How many, Master?" Cupcake asked. With a surge of spirit energy, the winged cat grew in size, her frame expanding until she stood five meters tall, her shadow looming over the dunes.
"Just make some noise. I need to test a gift," Mirabella said. In a flash of golden light, the Golden Lotus Bow appeared in her hand. The 1.5-meter-long weapon was a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, vibrating with the hunger for a target.
"Alright!"
Cupcake reared back and slammed a massive, electrified paw into the ground.
BOOOOM!!!!
Fractal branches of blue lightning burst from the sand, spreading for miles in every direction. The desert floor heaved.
BOOOOM!!!
BOOOOM!!!
BOOOOM!!!
GRAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Ten massive Krakens erupted from the dunes, their obsidian shells smoking from the residual electricity.
"Here they come. I used only 5% of my attack so I wouldn’t accidentally kill them," Cupcake said, her eyes locked on the monsters charging toward them.
"Here—" Mirabella began, but stopped.
BAM!!!
In a sudden display of survival instinct, the ten Krakens screeched and dove back into the sand. Instead of charging, they turned and fled at maximum speed, leaving Cupcake stunned.
"Hey!! That isn’t in the script! Shouldn’t they attack us?!!" Cupcake yelled at the retreating plumes of sand.
"These monsters must have sensed the strength of this bow. They aren’t stupid; they know a God-class weapon when they smell it." Mirabella drew back the string. An arrow of pure, white-hot flaming spirit energy manifested instantly.
"Besides, I don’t need them to attack. I just want to pinpoint their locations." She aimed the bow toward the sky and released.
BOOOOM!!!
The arrow shrieked into the atmosphere, releasing a thermal wave that turned the air into a shimmering haze. Mid-flight, the flaming projectile split into ten distinct streaks of light, each banking sharply toward its hidden target.
BOOOM!!! (x10)
Cupcake stood frozen, watching ten distant pillars of fire erupt from the desert floor. Her Master had wiped out ten high-level monsters without even looking at them.
"With my Light Bullet skill combined with this bow, nothing can escape my sight. Even if you run ten thousand miles, as long as I’ve marked you... my arrow will always find you." Mirabella vaulted onto Cupcake’s massive back.
"Let’s go back to the starting line and see how the competition is progressing."
"Yes, Master." Cupcake snapped her wings, creating a sonic boom as she shot into the sky.
CRACK!
The space high above the desert tore open. The mysterious man with the rune sword reappeared, his face pale as he watched the golden streak in the distance. "The Golden Lotus Bow? How did she...? Who is this young lady?" he muttered, his hand trembling on his hilt.

[The Great Prison]
BAM!!
An invisible force smashed into Julian’s chest, throwing him against his obsidian throne. He coughed, vomiting a mouthful of dark blood, but as he wiped his lip, a dangerous smirk spread across his face.
"You actually paid me a visit, Mother-in-law," he said, looking up toward the ceiling of the void-prison.
BAM!!
The fabric of the prison tore like wet paper as a red sun manifested in the center of the room. Genevieve stepped out of the rift, her golden energy wrapping around her like a vengeful typhoon, her eyes burning with the Absolute Sun Judgement.
"How dare you mark my daughter?!" she asked, her voice vibrating with a killing intent that made the very foundations of the Great Prison tremble.
