Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Charlotte: I Do Not Agree With This Marriage!

The pink little bird proudly puffed out its chest, chirped for a while, and rolled its eyes as if it agreed with the golden retriever’s praise of its family master.

Later, it used its sharp beak to pick up a shiny ring from the round, soft feathers and placed it in the young girl’s gentle palm. Tilting its head, it flapped its wings and instantly soared into the sky.

The Divine Messenger Barbet flew through the bright blue sky, creating several sonic booms as it moved to the highest part of the atmosphere. It chirped cheerfully, diving down in a beautiful curve, aiming like a missile towards the Chalkiness Tower of Yves Saint Laurent.

Xie Qingxuan looked up at the sky and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she had an idea, and her dark eyes sparkled. Excitedly, she put the ring on her left hand’s ring finger, wondering if Honey Qing was secretly proposing to her.

The girl’s fluffy ears twitched, and her lovely golden tail flicked with a sound, brushing against the thin back of the sitting giant wolf. Occasionally, it touched the fur of the Nightmare Wolf, which had once burned the City Master’s residence, causing it to look back at its owner with a confused and curious stare, panting.

Xie Qingxuan patted Derail’s head. She leaned close to the ring on her ring finger, smelling Honey Qing’s scent. Suddenly, she noticed something and cautiously sent a spark of magic into it. Her mind expanded into a vast space, gaining information in the form of a magical mark.

"Little Xuan, I am Chu Yuanqing. That light pink crystal is a phone from another world that can be used to contact me. I’m waiting for you in the capital, Yves Saint Laurent. Be safe and do not wander off."

Xie Qingxuan’s cool and beautiful face softened a bit, and a faint, cute smile appeared at the corners of her lips. She happily wagged her tail, but soon fell into disappointment for "not being proposed to." Her ears drooped down, and she shook them, looking just like a sad little puppy.

But emotions come quickly and go just as fast.

Xie Qingxuan snapped back to reality and patted the giant wolf beneath her. She felt that her emotions and personality seemed to be influenced a little by the royal blood of the Golden Wolf Tribe, becoming more instinctual and intense in all aspects. She wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

The girl did not hesitate for a moment on this question. She took out the pink crystal from the storage ring and, after inputting her magic, fingerprint, iris, and a drop of blood, successfully completed the authentication, connecting to the "signal" that radiates the Holy Sophon across the entire continent.

Soon after, a shimmering screen projected a friend request from Lucy Tiffany, appearing instantly with the permission of a great noble and a recommendation.

Xie Qingxuan clicked agree and quickly sent a video, eager to see Honey Qing dressed as a lady.

However, the video had not yet connected.

A foul and ominous scent filled her nostrils, and her mind began to feel excited, creating a frenzied and intoxicating sensation.

—Enemies!

The girl’s black wedding dress started to show signs of decay, with foul mold spreading like thick tendrils, climbing to the edge of her skirt. The cross star in her eyes glimmered coldly as she reached out to calm Derail, who was sitting and roaring deeply, the overwhelming dark magic surrounding her like a wave.

"Avoid it."

This was a spoken spell enhanced with Patronus Magic.

It seemed that the circumstances were not fully formed yet. Only after adding "The Power of the Titan" did the whispers in her ears, the force interfering with her mind, and the filth wrapping around the Magic Armor spread out like materials separated in a centrifuge, greatly entangling her thoughts.

Xie Qingxuan looked back, and in the sea of fire covering the ruins, a strange figure made of mycelium, mold, rust, and even black mud showed a smile that split open to the roots of its ears, staring back with hollow, dark eye sockets. Behind it, waves of disaster aura slowly engulfed the City Master’s mansion and the sea of fire, like a tsunami formed from sludge.

"A magical girl? How very fortunate."

The words from the strange figure sounded like odd ultrasound waves, their unique frequency carrying a mad intensity that could shatter eardrums and stir chaos in the brain.

But strangely, the magical girl facing it showed no reaction, as if the sound waves were swallowed up.

Ralph smiled at the girl, whose expression was indifferent and showed no anger at being ambushed. He noticed the dark magic swirling around and could sense the pulsing of the "Calamity God" authority, filling his heart with even more joy.

What an excellent Patronus Magic! Just by saying to avoid harm, all damage was stripped away; even the power to move Grade C Disaster Debris could not interfere at all. Was it a word spirit? Or perhaps an even more interesting ability? No wonder the Supreme Lord seemed to be watching.

Ralph was filled with delight. As a high priest of the filth sect who received the Supreme Lord’s grace, he had the duty to offer such a quality sacrifice.

It was indeed a pity that the ruler of this sinful city mysteriously perished in the sea of fire, destroying the original development plan set for the sect.

But compared to the gift of Xie Qingxuan, what does this little loss matter?

As long as it uses the power given by the Calamity God to devour such a powerful witch and her Lantern Gem, the Supreme Lord will become even stronger and revive more power!

The Archbishop’s body twisted and moved, allowing the combined Disaster Debris inside to awaken, forming an irregular mass of fungus that stood over several meters tall, its chaotic face showing faint features, and its smile became more sinister, giving no hint of wasting words.

In the next moment, it swallowed the wave of disaster aura behind it, using it as an energy source, and with the authority of the Calamity God, it activated the abilities of dozens of types of Disaster Debris, preparing to capture this witch with a flood of attacks!

In the outside world, killing her and directly picking up the shards of the Lantern Gem would be enough, but the Ideal State offered too many advantages to witches. According to information provided by Thousand Faces, killing them would only allow them to escape to safety at the Countermeasures Bureau.

So, its plan was to nearly kill her first, then implant The Seed of Corruption specifically designed for captain-level use, waiting for the opponent to transform into a non-human form before seizing the Lantern Gem.

Even if it failed and the opponent escaped from the Ideal State, the power of the Calamity God mixed in with The Seed of Corruption could still consume and absorb the Lantern Gem, completing a round of sacrifice, just at a slower pace; the outcome would still be the same.

In Ralph’s view, once he decided to use The Seed of Corruption, the opponent’s fate was already sealed.

Because after encountering the Archbishop, who still had not activated the Blooming Flowers and had ordinary magical fluctuations, it was clear that she was not at the captain level. Most likely, she was a new generation magical girl, at most a level three Magician by imperial standards, which was four tiers below him, who could match legends!

Xie Qingxuan furrowed her elegant brows as she held down the trembling and fierce Derail, using the Power of the Titan to erase their existence, making them seem cut off from the world, as if they were in a different dimension that never existed, ignoring all attacks like a shadow.

This was a very dangerous way to use a blessing; if she was not careful, she could truly kill herself and Derail. But as long as she did not erase the causes and effects related to herself, there was an anchor point to pull herself back, along with her vast experience from past cycles, making it far from dancing on the edge of a knife.

The effect was that attacks not involving fate, causality, inevitability, or high-level rules could not harm her at all, even if the opponent borrowed some power from the Calamity God.

Thus, this included the overwhelming strikes across half of Raysha, killing many villains, madmen, and criminals, along with a few innocent people and enslaved individuals, devouring countless buildings that stretched to the edge of sight, yet it never touched her hem, nor even the magic lingering nearby.

Ralph looked at this incredible scene; not only was she unharmed, but even the giant wolf beside her was perfectly protected. Its rusty rings surrounded its body, releasing swarming spores, showcasing the terror-inducing power of the Calamity God, quickly overwhelming the entire city with ominous bacteria.

"Space, illusion, or words of power?"

"It doesn’t matter which one; you cannot leave Raysha. No matter how special Patronus Magic is, if you want to keep using this technique to avoid attacks, your magic will eventually run out."

Xie Qingxuan said nothing. She pulled out a beautiful, exquisite sphere from her storage ring and gently tapped it on Derail’s head, watching as the figure turned into a stream of light and entered the sphere, satisfied as she retrieved it.

This was a space sphere used by Little Qing to store alchemical creations, very much like a Poké Ball from the cartoons, making it perfect for keeping Derail.

Then, she took out the Alchemy Elixir from Honey Qing, drank it all quickly, felt her nearly empty magic power restore rapidly, and filled up as she began to nurture the Cocoon of the Heart, showing a satisfied expression, completely ignoring the Archbishop flying in the sky.

Xie Qingxuan thought for a moment and decided to go find Honey Qing at Yves Saint Laurent, not worrying about this ugly thing for now.

As for the reason, the main one was that fighting would simply waste too much time.

Although Ralph did not introduce herself, during the first playthrough, because of the blessing and her similarity to Helldir, having been imprisoned deep within the sect and revered as the Holy Maiden and the embodiment of the Divine, she recognized the Archbishop at a glance.

Moreover, she was a troublesome opponent who had inherited part of Nergal’s power.

Nergal, as the Calamity God, possessed powers that included plague, death, and war, and even inheriting a small amount could easily break through the still-forming Royal Authority; she had not "Fully Bloomed" yet, and the magical girl’s abilities were declared useless, so she could only rely on blessings to fight.

Although drinking the Alchemy Elixir would give her a 70-80% chance of success, her magic output was still not enough, and it would surely come at the cost of her own existence.

Xie Qingxuan didn’t care about this, but Honey Qing did, and she made her promise to related terms; she always listened to her, and now using the power of Magic Armor, she chased after the path of the Divine Messenger Barbet, speeding up into the sky, about to leave Raysha.

The Archbishop scoffed at this scene.

So funny, does she think she can run with that speed?

I can chase her right away…

Ralph’s mind suddenly stopped; its continuous logic created a blank space, and even the action of continuously swallowing the disaster aura involuntarily paused, as if wondering the meaning of its actions.

After a few breaths, it dissolved its huge body and returned to that strange, energy-saving humanoid form, looking down at the vast Border City. A chaotic awareness emerged, feeling frustrated, memories quickly pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle, and after five seconds, it remembered the witch that caused the authority of the Calamity God to shift.

What a strange power is this? It can actually bypass the protection of authority and directly interfere with its memory?!

Ralph was furious, not caring about harvesting the souls and flesh of Border City. It revived the related Disaster Debris, transforming its body into a flash of light, rushing into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, saw that dark shadow again.

However, before this archbishop could say anything fierce, Xie Qingxuan, who had just drunk three bottles of Alchemy Elixir, turned to look back, and the power of The Power of the Titan interfered again, leaving the opponent confused and stuck in place for another five seconds.

Xie Qingxuan continued to speed ahead. She took a bottle of orange-flavored Magic Potion from her storage ring and drank three bottles in quick succession.

Although the nature of Magic Potions was a solid energy substance that dissolved in the lungs and did not fill the stomach, the taste was still very important.

Unfortunately, if it weren’t for the protection of the Calamity God, she could simply control her own existence and that of the other person, accurately cutting the causal threads that connected them, which would be a one-time solution, saving her from wasting so many things gifted by Honey Qing.

The chase began steadily.

The archbishop was not foolish; it quickly found another way to continue the pursuit, even after "forgetting" the other person, but Xie Qingxuan figured out how to counter it swiftly, leading to even more frustration.

However, during this process, the Calamity God’s resistance to blessings began to increase gradually. Combined with various support methods and ways to identify the opponent, the time spent being controlled and delayed was becoming shorter and shorter, and it would soon catch up to the other person’s pace.

At the same time, on the other side, Chu Yuanqing had just brought Elise back to Yves Saint Laurent and glanced at the "missed call" in Alchemy Crysta, immediately calling back.

Thirty seconds later, nobody answered the call, and the line hung up by itself.

Chu Yuanqing knew Xie Qingxuan very well; she frowned and said,

"Is something wrong?"

Elise turned to look at the Pure White Witch, tugged at her sleeve, and pointed to the towering Chalkiness Tower in front of them, which seemed like a magnificent sight leading to the clouds, curiously asking,

"Sister Chu, aren’t we going in? So many people around are looking at us."

Lucy Tiffany and Miss Elise stood hand in hand in front of the beautiful view of Chalkiness Tower, which looked just as fascinating as it would in Yves Saint Laurent Academy, naturally drawing everyone’s attention.

Not to mention, the students did not know about the disaster that was happening on the mainland, and they looked at the two important people with curiosity and ease, whispering among themselves.

"It’s nothing, let’s go in first."

Chu Yuanqing looked around. She held Elise’s hand tightly, her mind full of thoughts. These children would one day face their fate, stepping onto a battlefield that was meant for defeat.

The so-called Slit World, Historical Echoes, and Time Echoes tell a story without a future.

Yet at the same time, it comes from the obsession of civilization and star clusters, rooted in the blessings of the world and all living beings, hoping that the future visitors can draw strength from this story without a future to build a beautiful future.

Chu Yuanqing succeeded, and now, she also planned to lead the new generation to walk the same path as before, to achieve true transformation so they could face whatever storms came next.

It’s just that…

"The invasion of the Church of the Gods should not be in my script."

After saying this cool line, Chu Yuanqing walked into Chalkiness Tower and took Elise to collect everything from the Alchemist Workshop.

Then, the Pure White Witch asked Esther to take care of the little girl while she quietly hid in a corner, dialed the Empire Times, and calmly sent over a few photos to promote her own scandal.

So, five minutes later, the Ley Line, watched live by billions of people, was blown away by dozens of news releases from the Empire Times.

[The Tiffany family is actually involved in slave trading! Was the Golden Wolf Princess kidnapped? Is this a moral decline or a lack of humanity?]

[Breaking news keeps coming in, shocking the world! Lucy Tiffany, known as the goddess of the empire and the closest person to the next Grand Duke Tiffany, actually claims to like girls and says she kidnapped the Golden Wolf Princess to marry her!]

[So this is what the Golden Wolf Princess, Anastasia Haider, looks like? A stunning figure in a black wedding dress with beast ears, showing the empire goddess’s prowess!]

[Incredible! The Imperial Blade, the great and solemn Adjudicator—Charlotte Freyr-Baath, who has never spoken publicly on the Ley Line, actually declared she does not agree with this marriage!]

[So terrifying, the world is getting colder. Could this be a love triangle involving the future heir and the Adjudicator?!]

These shocking and tempting gossip titles were empty when you clicked on them, yet they were enough to deeply shock people and spark a strong curiosity within.

It was well known that celebrities’ privacy was very intriguing, especially when it involved important figures and stunningly beautiful people, causing an explosion of interest and a surge in clicks.

Most importantly, while Empire Times had taken risks before, Lucy Tiffany and Adjudicator Charlotte belonged to a whole new level of powerful figures. Who would dare spread rumors about their love life?

Even if a legend were brought in as the newspaper’s president, it wouldn’t be enough!

In other words, these outrageous love stories might actually be true!

Right now, the world had not yet fallen into chaos, and people unaware of the Disaster Wave were excitedly discussing the truth of this matter; even the Yves Saint Laurent Academy had quickly become a hot topic of conversation.

Chu Yuanqing struggled to keep her cool expression, but her cute face turned a lovely shade of pink. To give Honey Xuan an extra boost, she was determined to go all out, feeling both shy and angry as she pressed her lips together and said,

"Little Xuan, no matter who you meet, make sure to take them down fast!"
