Chapter 364: Chapter 262: Face a Demigod? Hurry and Use Holy Light to Finish Her

"You..."

The King of the Stars turned his head in disbelief to look at the Night Witch behind him.

He couldn’t understand why, after going to such great lengths to resurrect her, he was met with this betrayal in the end.

However, the moment he saw the Night Witch’s strange smile and her pair of golden pupils sparkling, he was instantly relieved.

An excited smile even appeared on his face, as if he too had fallen into a frenzy!

From beginning to end, the treacherous Witch had followed her truth. Even after death, she had never changed.

This scene made Su Xuan’s expression turn complicated.

He even began to suspect that the Night Witch’s death had been part of her own plan all along.

As for the reason why, for this group of insane Witches, no reason was needed. They acted only in pursuit of the truth in their hearts.

"Hehehehe~"

And just as everyone fell silent, the Night Witch suddenly burst into frenzied laughter.

Immediately after, she bound the dying King of the Stars with chains woven from black mist. Then, using the mist to destroy the roof of the King’s Bedroom Palace, she floated up into the sky.

The Magic Array created by the King of the Stars shattered instantly, allowing the Knights waiting outside to witness the astonishing scene.

"That’s... the Night Witch!"

"How is that possible! The Night Witch isn’t dead?"

"Is that... our King she’s dragging with those chains?"

"Bastard! Let our King go!"

"You despicable, shameless Witch! I... I’ll fight you to the death!"

"..."

Witnessing this, the Law Enforcement Knights’ faces turned pale as paper, their eyes wide with terror.

They never would have dreamed that the Night Witch, who had been executed by hanging several years ago, was actually still alive!

But the Night Witch paid no attention to any of this. Her gaze was fixed on the beam of starlight descending from the sky in the distance, the corner of her mouth curling into a cold, eerie smile.

Immediately, she spread her arms and began to chant a Magic Spell in a low voice.

In that instant, a massive Magic Array suddenly appeared behind her, covering half the sky. The pitch-black Magic Power seeping from the Array was like a curtain of night, gradually obscuring all the Stars.

"What’s going on?"

"Why are there suddenly dark clouds?"

"..."

At this moment, the crowd in the square was focused on the battle between Prince Tyres and the Star Knight Arimos, completely unaware of the strange event unfolding silently inside the Imperial Palace.

It wasn’t until the brilliant starry sky was mercilessly devoured by a patch of pitch-black clouds that the crowd noticed something was wrong.

"This is..."

"The Night Witch’s Power?"

The moment Prince Tyres and Arimos realized something was amiss, their gazes shot in unison toward the figure in the distant sky.

Their expressions darkened instantly, unable to believe that the Night Witch would actually reappear on this day!

"Mother?"

Vivian, who was undergoing the baptism of the Stars, also caught the Night Witch’s presence at this critical moment.

However, when she saw the Night Witch dragging the King of the Stars’ body with pitch-black chains, her face turned deathly pale, and she was on the verge of a breakdown!

Vivian couldn’t understand. What in the world was happening?

Why would her deceased mother suddenly appear before her?

Even more puzzling, why would she murder her father?

And just as Vivian was struggling to comprehend it all, Prince Tyres said coldly, "Vivian, are you still unwilling to face the truth? You are not of royal blood. You’re just a monster created by a Witch!"

"I..."

Prince Tyres’s words were like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through Vivian’s inner defenses.

She had often heard the whispers of others questioning her identity, claiming she was not of royal blood.

But for years, the King of the Stars had steadfastly told her that she was the future heir of the Star Kingdom, his most beloved child.

Therefore, she chose to trust her father and ignore all the external rumors.

But today, her belief completely collapsed. So the rumors were all true!

"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"

Vivian broke down completely. She covered her ears with her hands, unwilling to believe any of it.

And as she broke down, the baptism from the Stars also changed its course. The once brilliant and dazzling Power of the Stars was now being corroded by a layer of pitch-black night.

Vivian’s Dominated Demon Eye also began to flash with a dazzling Golden light, frantically Devouring the tainted Power of the Stars.

At the same time, Su Xuan’s Counter-Demon Eye also had a strong reaction.

He could even hear the Night Witch’s voice whispering in Vivian’s ear. That low, seductive sound echoed in Su Xuan’s mind like a Magic Spell.

"You are the child I created!"

"Come! Inherit the truth of the night!"

"Shroud this world in night!"

"My child! The night will ultimately shroud the Stars!"

"..."

After Su Xuan learned the Night Witch’s true intentions, his understanding of Witches deepened.

’They... they’re a bunch of lunatics who’ve lost all reason!’

’No wonder the whole world joined forces to fight these Witches. It turns out these madwomen’s goal is to destroy the world for the sake of their truth!’

"AHH!"

Just as the Night Witch’s words fell, Vivian suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream.

Immediately, a dense black mist rose up around her. The mist spread rapidly, enveloping the entire Imperial Palace in darkness in an instant.

And within that black mist, there were even Demons from the night. They menacingly brandished their claws and fangs, launching a fierce assault on everyone present.

"What in the world is going on?"

"Damn it! It’s the Night Witch! Princess Vivian is her successor!"

"Run! The Star Kingdom is finished!"

"Ahh! Save me!"

"..."

For a moment, the scene descended into utter chaos, a tangled mess of panic and confusion.

This scene made Prince Tyres realize he no longer needed to waste time here. He turned to the Star Knight Arimos and said in a heavy voice, "This is the consequence of your choice. For getting entangled with a Witch, the Star Kingdom will pay a terrible price!"

With that, Prince Tyres immediately left the Imperial Palace with his men.

Arimos, however, stood silently, his gaze piercing through the layers of black mist to fall upon Princess Vivian.

His face was as dark as water, and the hand holding his sword was trembling slightly.

After much thought, he decided to kill Vivian to protect the Star Kingdom.

However, just as he was about to act, he was shocked to find that he had lost control of his own body.

’The Dominated Demon Eye!’ Arimos was startled, his brow tightly furrowed.

He had never imagined that even he would be affected by the Dominated Demon Eye!

The Dominated Demon Eye, enhanced by the Power of the Stars, had now reached a point where it could threaten a Demigod!

It wasn’t just him. The Law Enforcement Knights who were originally loyal to Princess Vivian also fell under the control of the Dominated Demon Eye, blocking all enemies who tried to disrupt Vivian’s completion of the Star Ceremony.

"This isn’t good~"

Vanessa saw this and gave a helpless smile, her gaze turning to Lucia.

Clearly, the situation in the Star Kingdom had spiraled beyond their control. Now, the Pope needed to decide the course of action.

Lucia’s expression was equally grave. She was also hesitating, unable to make an immediate decision.

Perhaps the safest course of action was to leave the Royal City of the Star Kingdom now, and then dispatch the armies of the Sun Sect Country to suppress these Demons from the night.

But...

Lucia’s gaze shifted to Su Xuan. Compared to her own judgment, she was more interested in knowing Su Xuan’s thoughts at this moment.

As for Su Xuan, his eyes were fixed on the distant Princess Vivian.

’To stop all this, I have to interrupt the Star Ceremony.’

"It’s your turn."

At this moment, Edith walked to Su Xuan’s side and said with a smile, "Although some unexpected things happened along the way, the final outcome will not change."

"You, go take care of Princess Vivian."

"How confident are you in me?" Su Xuan turned to Edith and asked curiously.

From the very beginning of the plan, Edith had treated him as their trump card against Princess Vivian, showing immense trust.

Facing Su Xuan’s question, Edith answered without hesitation: "One hundred percent!"
