Chapter 3600
Seeing its own position sinking lower and lower, with its limbs about to be stained by the seawater, the Evil Beast suddenly let out another ear-piercing, insect-like screech.
It then abandoned its shield, braving the attacks of those thousands of falling meteors, as its body collapsed and rotated inward, transforming into a spinning black-red vortex and vanishing from sight.
People immediately searched everywhere for where the Evil Beast had gone, but in the night sky directly above Xia De, a brand-new, slender crack tilted downward. As the crack opened, the strange starry world, filled with black-red stars, revealed itself once more.
Miss Ai Si Bo Ge suddenly understood:
"The starry world we were in just now is a fragment of the Astral Realm!"
The massive monster flew out from the crack, its six walking legs reaching directly toward Xia De, who was right below. But when the bone claws at the ends of its walking legs, which resembled human hands, closed, it discovered that it had only grasped the moonlight reflected in the water.
Realizing the danger, it wanted to escape back into the Astral Realm fragment, but the crack closed immediately after opening. This was Duo Luo Qian casting a spell from the *Radiant Messenger*; Ge Lei Si and Hai Lun were standing with her at that moment.
And in front of the huge silver moon at the junction of sea and sky, Ai Li leaped and carried Xia De as they rose continuously; the moon behind them also arrived in the night sky along with Xia De.
Moonlight soaked into Ai Li's fur; it liked this icy-cool and very gentle power. Realizing that Xia De had finished charging his power, the little unicorn also wanted to provide him with help. Thus, the power of time, the gentleness of the moonlight, and the brilliance of the stars felt tonight gathered upon its horn, mixed together by the little unicorn's naive mind.
And so, the cat glowing all over on Xia De's shoulder saw the light erupting from that horn, combined with the starlight Xia De pushed forward, pierce through space, striking through the massive Evil Beast's body in a single blow.
Amidst the increasingly ear-piercing insect screeches, it fell downward toward the sea surface, dropping into the silver moon reflected in the water.
The moon in the water seemed to imprison it. The phantom of that moon then slowly rose from the water, and amidst the Evil Beast's violent struggling, it carried it to the opposite side of Xia De and Ai Li, who were under the starry sky.
The "moon" faced the moon, and starlight faced starlight. Stars twinkled in the night curtain; this was the most brilliant moment for the starry sky of the material world in tens of thousands of years. The Ringed Shushis on the sea, the Fatuman priests on Fatumanster Island, and the visiting elves—everyone was looking at them.
The Evil Beast in the moon in the water continued to struggle violently, but neither its black-red energy nor its terrifying power could help it break free from the suppression of the entire starry sky.
Xia De, in front of the moon, clenched his fists, recalling the posture for displaying moon phases that Deng En Si had shown him that morning. Facing the giant beast across the sea of stars, he raised his right hand high and dropped his left hand downward.
"She" smiled gently:
【Present World · Sixth Era, Winter of 1855, Common Era, Moon of Sparse Stars. The twinkling of starlight is the flow of fate; the boundless sea of stars is the myriad phenomena of fate. The falling star has transformed into the beast of fate, awakening from a long slumber; and the heroes who shatter the stars are born in the present, coming in response to fate in this long night. You, blessed by the moon, have learned the secret of the stars and the moon under the starry sky tonight. It is a light weaker than the moon, but warmer than the moon.
Outsider, the story of fate is nearing its end. Do you already know what will be waiting for you at the finish line?】
People looked up at this scene, seeing that as the God-Caller's arms rotated, the galaxy was truly rotating along with them.
The left arm moved counter-clockwise to the left side, and the right arm moved counter-clockwise to the right side, thus completing the "half-moon" posture. Then, both arms were raised high together, and both fists pointed toward the high sky above; the moon phase cycle was complete. This was the "dark moon" posture:
"Hundred Phases of Star and Moon!"
The moon imprisoning the Evil Beast changed its own moon phase along with the rotation of the galaxy, and the "stars" within the moon also continuously shrank their volume along with the change in moon phase. The starry sky flowed; when the moon finally disappeared completely, the Evil Beast transformed into a pitch-black point of light, vanishing like an extinguished star.
At this moment, the starry sky was unusually bright. The brilliance of the stars was gathering toward the Fate Ring hidden behind Xia De by the thick steam fog, but the power of "Hundred Phases of Star and Moon" had already faded.
Ai Li was slightly exhausted, but just as Xia De wanted to let out a sigh of relief, he looked forward again.
Because that pitch-black point of light in the starry sky had actually reappeared, and it was continuously rotating and growing larger. The power of the fallen Star-Falling Beast had not dissipated but was gathered together in a rather brutal way by some even more terrifying power.
The black light finally transformed into a terrifying human figure that was pitch-black all over. It looked like a pure shadow, but the blackness on its body surface seemed capable of distorting the light of the entire world. The starry sky above its head became unusually dim. Xia De, who had seen similar power in the Doctor's dream, knew what this was:
"The remains of the Star-Falling Beast, transformed into a Demon-Man by the blood of the Demon King?"
And on the Demon-Man's chest, there was strikingly that complete star-blue ring. After the Ringed Beast died, it transformed almost seamlessly into a Demon-Man holding the Ring of Fate. Even Xia De felt the problem was thorny at this moment.
But there was no help for it; since the enemy was still there, he had to continue fighting. He was only mentally exhausted at this time; his spirit and physical strength were still quite abundant. Therefore, he braced himself to call upon the Night Watchman using 【Sword Magic Contract】, and at the same time, knowing that Ai Li was already very tired, he stroked its fur with his left hand and said softly:
"Sorry, but the battle isn't over yet. I know you're very tired, but can you continue to help me? It cannot be allowed to go to the sea surface; this kind of power shouldn't be known by more people, in case it's investigated by the prophets..."
The Doctor had said that making everyone forget the "Demon King" was also part of the seal.
"Ai Li, you are the only one I can rely on now."
The cat, who hadn't been in a good mood tonight and was angry because Xia De was riding Ai Li, had the whiskers on its furry face trembling.
"You are my only helper now. I know this request is too much, but there is only us here now."
The little flame on the cat's tail ignited instantly, and all the orange fur on this orange-and-white cat lit up.
"After this is over, you must come to my house to play..."
"Meow!"
The sudden cat cry exploded in the night sky. The witches vaguely guessed that this was Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya's cry, just not knowing why the cat cry seemed to be angry.
They were worrying about why the enemy didn't seem to have been eliminated yet, and then they saw Xia De's position engulfed by a huge fireball.
"No, it's not a fireball, it's the sun."
Yi Lu Na, who was supporting the somewhat exhausted Ai Mi Li Ya on the sea surface, said. This looked like the God-Caller had changed from the "moon" to the "sun" in an instant, and then they saw the light of the "sun" in the starry sky shrink inward, until it turned into a majestic golden lion beside the unicorn:
"It's not a big lion, it's a big kitty, Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya has become like this again... but this time it isn't wearing armor."
"How did it evolve incorrectly again?"
Xia De's surprise was no less than anyone else's. He also didn't expect this kind of change, only vaguely guessing in his heart that this was the result of part of the power of the star that the god had taken out earlier merging into Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya's body.
At this time, the cat was burning all over, and its body size was even a circle larger than Ai Li's. It seemed somewhat unhappy as it whipped its tail at Xia De on the unicorn's back. While the pitch-black Demon-Man under the starry sky raised its hand to aim at them, the amber eyes staring at Xia De finally turned nonchalantly toward the direction of that figure:
"Roar!"
The dark night turned into daytime at this moment. No one saw what exactly happened in this instant. It was just that when the starry sky reappeared, the burning Demon-Man had already fallen toward the direction of Fatumanster Snow Mountain like a fireball.
No one would doubt that it wasn't dead. Even if they weren't sun power users like Yi Lu Na and Miss "Sun Emblem" Ka Mi Er · Yi Deng, they could clearly feel how terrifying the "fire" entangling the Demon-Man was; it really wasn't much different from the sun.
And so, two seconds later—
Boom!
The fireball fell on the northwest side of Fatumanster Snow Mountain, and the entire island even shook because of it. However, the good news was that the local City Hall didn't need to rack their brains to explain to the islanders what this was. Since there had been a beautiful meteor shower just now, it was very normal for meteors to fall on the snow mountain.
And so, after a certain cat's angry strike, Star-Falling Bay finally quieted down. People on the sea looked at the starry sky in confusion, not quite understanding what had happened after the God-Caller manipulated the starry sky just now. Meanwhile, two figures, one white and one gold, were already chasing and "playing" with each other under the starry sky, running toward the direction of the fallen fireball.
The Ringed Shushis of the Church and the Prophet Society didn't chase after them; they still needed to deal with the traces left after the battle on the sea, as well as the entrance crack of the Astral Realm fragment that was slowly disappearing.
At this time, everyone in the Astral Realm fragment had come out. The cultists had scattered and fled during the battle just now, and the Church also needed to track their traces to determine the truth of what happened tonight.
Now that it was known that the "God-Caller" could be contacted through the Fatuman people, other matters could be asked of the God-Caller tomorrow.
But the young ladies certainly wouldn't stay on the sea surface; they soon flew toward the snow mountain to chase after Xia De. Finding Xia De's location wasn't troublesome at all, because the position where the "fireball" fell was still emitting rolling black smoke at this time.
Xi Wei, who had transformed into light, and the highest-ranked Fan Ni Sha arrived at the destination first, and then saw that there was a giant crater on the snow mountain.
The giant crater was located on the snow slope on the side of the third highest peak of the snow mountain. All the surrounding accumulated snow had melted, and the scorched black land inside the crater was still emitting astonishing heat, while the silver-blue light dotted in the black soil seemed to have merged with this giant crater.
Xia De was standing beside this black giant crater at this time, with the somewhat exhausted Ai Li behind him, and Little Leaving Xiao Leaving Xiao Miya standing on Ai Li's back.
"Where is the enemy?"
Xi Wei and Fan Ni Sha asked this question first. Xia De stared at the giant crater with a diameter of hundreds of feet and said very firmly:
"Definitely dead, don't worry about this."
