Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

Chapter 1286: Her Name

Chapter 1286: Her Name

"..." Lilibet remained as silent as ever, only staring at Shaya Longnis with a deathly cold gaze.

That look had almost become Shaya Longnis's death sentence in the past month, and being targeted and hunted down by that gaze resulted in the most painful experiences of her life.

What a terrible opponent, we're not a good match at all.

Shaya Longnis never really faced Lilibet before, so she underestimated this ancient Sky Sword who rarely left the Sky Tower.

Even during the time she was punished in Water God’s World, she only thought that this ancient Sky Sword, who protected the order of Sky Sword God’s Domain, was successful because of Casina the Battle God's influence.

If it weren't for Casina the Battle God confusing her mind, she wouldn't have been easily caught by Lilibet.

It was only when she stole the treasures from the Sky Tower's treasure vault, and Lilibet started chasing her, that she discovered the truly terrifying aspect of this antique Sky Sword.

Her Azure Excalibur could ignore any resistance she put up!

No matter what kind of physical or magical immunities she had, that divine sword could completely ignore her defense and tear her apart.

Even Casina the Battle God couldn't do such a thing. Casina the Battle God needed to use the divine technique "The Magnificence of Sky Dance" to seal off a part of her racial traits before being able to effectively attack her.

As a Child of God favored by slimes, Shaya Longnis, who gained knowledge and wisdom by devouring more than one intelligent being, encountered the first sword that completely ignored her racial traits.

Apart from the basic talent of "splitting," all other talents are ineffective in front of the azure god sword, which also caused Shaya Longnis, who doesn't have her own Sky Sword by her side, to have almost no ability to fight back against Lilibet, who holds the sword.

Ever since escaping the Sky Tower, she could only repeat one thing - split - get killed - split again. Whenever there was danger, she would escape to where it was dangerous, and whenever there was seclusion, she would escape there. She even had a plan to plunge into the abyss if necessary.

If it weren't for the invitation from the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, her plan, which seemed like suicide in the eyes of others, would already be halfway done.

Luckily, everything is different now. Though she has paid a price, at least she finally has a way out.

Dusk Witch Flora's Dimensional Shuttle ability is famous throughout the entire Endless God's Domain. She is known as the first user of spatial magic. With the exception of a few primeval [Fields], there's nowhere in the Endless God's Domain that she cannot go.

It is unknown how long this temporary alliance will last, but for the sake of the lovely White Moon, she dared to even steal from the Sky Tower. What else is there that she wouldn't dare to do?

"Now then, let's begin the random selection, ladies. Are you ready?"

"Only one lady will be the most beautiful at the ball. Step onto your stage and show off your elegance!"

"There are three chances in total. The great queen and the Will of Nightmares are watching you. Only those who achieve the highest score will be eligible to receive the blessings of delicacies and nightmares."

"In the first trial, introduce yourself to the person you love and show your charm!"

"This time, a special white horse prince has been selected. Make him the target and conquer his heart!"

Colorful beams of light fell down, finally converging on someone's head, illuminating their helpless expression.

If it weren't for the faceless god's lack of expression, Yun Xi would have surrendered.

So, this "white horse prince" that the ball requires means this!

Of course, for a ball with theme of "blind date," it naturally needs a target. You can't expect the participating ladies to perform to the air.

"For the princesses, the rule is to show their own beauty to the prince."

"For the prince, the rule is to answer the princesses, and the invisible judges will decide the scores."

"Now, the chosen prince and the ladies who have obtained the princess status, get ready!"

"The first round of the stage, begin!"

Yun Xi's figure, along with the happy sacred unicorn, disappeared together on the dining table.

Along with him, the sludge Shaya Longnis the Sky Sword, who had just challenged Lilibet from across the table, also disappeared.

On the unreal stage, the two appeared together, with a quiet and gentle mirror-like lake as the backdrop.

"This is... " Yun Xi looked around in surprise. Wasn't this supposed to be the underground realm of the Kingdom from his memory, where the young Queen of Assyria and the huge foolish spider resided?

It was the place where he had encountered the half of the Queen of Assyria he married and the girl who had left him with beautiful memories.

"It seems that what Flora said is true. The nightmare is manifesting in the most vivid parts of my memory." Shaya Longnis sat on the enormous foolish spider, wearing thin white clothing without knowing when she had changed into it.

Shaya Longnis is a complex and ever-changing entity, a combination of the destiny and will of the slime clan.

She had once devoured and merged with many intelligent beings, a few of which were important factors in constructing her current conscious self.

The Queen of Assyria was one of the most important figures, and she used to sacrifice herself to the Abyss as the Blood Moon Queen.

At that time, the desperate Queen of Assyria summoned the Blood Moon and bound time to her own moment of death.

The bride of the Blood Moon unleashed carnage, and a certain will from the Abyss watched her, accepted her, and merged with her in the end.

That night, the whisper of the ancient gods echoed in the ears of the bride wearing a blood-stained wedding gown.

"Most things in the world are readily understood once you peel back the surface, revealing a dull, unpleasant, and chaotic mess."

"Crying, clinging to me, pouring out everything to me, you are truly endearing."

"How can I describe this feeling? Even to this day, I still can't find an answer."

"After realizing it, I understood that I was a despicable person."

"Only in your presence do I feel happiness, ignoring all the noise."

"However, I dislike being eliminated. It's hard to bear not being the most respected existence."

"After all, I hate losing."

"So, even if I am greeted with ugly, dirty words, and never look down on others from a high place, I would lose my purpose of existence."

"I can't treat everyone equally and gently."

I can't sincerely pray for the people who are important to me.

"I think it's a good thing when the people who are important to me feel sad or cry for me."

"Ah, one more thing, it's okay even if you don't like me."

"Because, I like you so much, I like you to the point where I want to devour you."

"From today onwards, your name is Shaya Longnis."
