Chapter 156: Poem of Blessing
◎A stream of light passed through the crack and fell into the deepest corner◎
Ding, ding, ding——
The sky played a chord, the stars shattered in the resonance, meteors streaked across the dome, and layers of smoke spread out.
Melia waved to Pados, she stood at the edge of the attic and stepped out into the void.
Opening the delicate pages of "The Rose Princess," strands of golden thread spiraled together, forming a golden bridge to the sky. Ascending the stairs, the stars were within reach.
Melia stood in the middle of the broken galaxy and raised her hand slightly, ready to pierce the last layer of sticky barrier.
Pasha, "The Rose Princess" was fixed on a certain page, and the book cover tapped in her mind.
Looking down, I saw the status bar that I hadn't seen for a long time.
Melia (possessed by Pixie)...
Uh, Pixie is possessed?!
Melia used her consciousness to pick up the dancing gold coin next to the book and threw it with all her might—Pixie possessed her, her true form determined to escape the fake world. The real world was guarded by Nini and Elena, and the Fairy Queen wasn't foolish enough to show up and get beaten.
As for the dual souls that are common in the magic world, with "Rose Princess" occupying the position, the consciousness space has long been full.
The only place to hide is Shadow Rome!
Fortunately, there's "Rose Princess," otherwise the fun would have been much worse. No matter how innocent the goblins are, Pixie, the thousand-year-old demon, is quite capable, and who knows when to surprise them with a substitution.
A coin flips, time and space intersect.
The translucent stars came into view, and there were no houses or people around, only floating bubbles and a sea of flowers.
Lily of the valley buds bloomed one after another. The Fairy Queen lazily spread her wings and popped the bubbles with her fingers. "You actually discovered this? As a fairy, you also have the qualities to be a King."
Melia was too lazy to argue with her and opened "Rose Queen" to check the status first.
It clearly stated on it - Void Zone: Based on the medium of Shadow Rome (being judged), temporarily stored (overlapped) in Melia's consciousness.
Although I don’t know the specific noun, but since it is Shadow Rome in my consciousness, things are much simpler.
She took a few steps back, then took a run and jumped high, touching the sticky bubbles suspended in the air.
These bubbles deformed in my hands, slowly condensing and eventually becoming a flexible rope. No hard objects? It doesn't matter, this is my consciousness -
With a snap, an iron hook appeared out of thin air, entangled with the rope, and formed a hook.
This is my consciousness, fairy, don’t leave!
She hurled her hook with all her might, but Pixie remained motionless, letting the claws scratch her beautiful face. Instantly, the blood stopped flowing and the wound healed automatically.
"Don't you know?"
She floated down from the lily of the valley and met Melia's eyes: "Fairies are immortal."
Of course, this wasn't true; fairies would also perish. When a fairy's magic power was squeezed out and it turned into ashes, it could never be reborn.
But in a sense, it's not a lie.
Having their magic drained out is considered destruction. In other words, as long as a fairy has magic, they won't age, and even if they fall into madness, petrification, or damage, they can still be reborn without losing their memory.
As for immortality, it's not a big deal. Most goblins are immune to damage except from iron, and the logic is quite compelling: they are born from the spirits of nature, and anything that symbolizes nature cannot kill goblins.
Only the iron tools created by humans can ignore the protection of nature and kill goblins. It represents the power of mankind.
After reading the notes of "The Rose Princess", Melia completely understood Pixie's fearlessness: as a fairy among fairies, Pixie was only afraid of iron tools that symbolized human power, and she could not be killed by magic.
At the same time, Pixie has super strong recovery ability, and she can be resurrected quickly even if she is cut into small pieces with iron tools.
Melia waved her fingers, and countless steel needles surrounded Pixie like a swarm of bees.
The Fairy Queen leisurely brushed her skirt. "It seems you've remembered our weaknesses? Unfortunately... you can only use them wisely."
There was no lie about this. Melia tried to heat the steel needle or turn it into iron powder.
They can be heated and turned into iron powder, but they seem to have lost the concept of "human weapons" and cannot harm the monsters in front of them.
Pixie seemed to notice her embarrassment and raised a finger maliciously. "Let's make a deal. We can unite. You will become the Fairy Queen and break through the limits of the human body. And I just need a little help when it matters most."
Her voice was so beautiful that it could make a nightingale cry. Perhaps it contained some kind of spiritual magic, and every cell in the listener was shouting: Say yes to her, say yes now!
Eternal youth, immortality, control over truth and falsehood, manipulate magic and miracles!
"ha……"
Melia closed her eyes and took a long breath.
The clock the fairies had prepared shattered as the stars shattered, but the ticking sound continued to approach. Promise, promise, what good would it do if I didn't? If these attempts angered the fairy, she would retaliate with double the force later.
【Shut up. 】
"What's wrong? Are you going to continue resisting?" The Fairy Queen smiled with dimples, her lip gloss smeared with sweetness. Then, a whirlwind blew her translucent hair.
What is that?
A long tube emerged in the floating light. It was stronger than a gun barrel and had a fixed ring around it.
It had a short tail and a long front, and the tip of the spear was replaced by a blunt, spindle-shaped tip. How could such a thing kill me?
Reason and experience were untouched; that was something beyond human history. Yet Pixie retreated again and again, feeling a tremor deep within her soul.
【arms】
This strange-looking thing is a step further than iron tools... a human weapon that transcends time!
"You look like... there's something going on."
Melia raised her eyes, a dangerous smile flickering in them. She slung the RPG over her shoulder and instantly activated it, using the "Weapon" concept.
Fairies are born from concepts, so they are powerful?
"Stupid goblin—it's time to try it—"
This is "absolute violence" that can indiscriminately kill even the creator [human beings].
"Alas--"
The flames swept with light and heat, boom!
At this moment, facing the equal destruction of ultimate creativity, the little magic power left is simply... unable to do anything!
The white flames devoured the colorful scales and immediately ignited the entire starry sky.
…
"Meliya!"
Alexandra took a step forward, completely forgetting the enemy beside her, and rushed straight towards the falling girl.
The fallen figure was covered in ashes, and it was impossible to tell whether it was Melia or a fairy.
The facial features seemed to be Melia's, but with the wingspan of a fairy.
The humanoid figure rubbed against the bottom of the crystal column, making a crisp cracking sound. At the same time, Elena quickly approached from the other direction and grabbed the peeling limb with one hand.
They hugged the human figure one after another, and sighed in relief at the same time: Great, it's Melia.
Alexandra raised her remaining metal right hand and brushed away the remaining ashes of the Fairy Queen. The limbs, feet, and torso attached to her body turned into dry leaves, shrunken and floating to the ground.
This is a sign of exhaustion of magic power. Haha, fairies are fairies. Even the fairy queen can't help but let herself go.
Binglan and Weilan collided with each other. Neither of them was willing to let go of Melia, nor did they dare to swing their weapons until the girl in their arms fluttered her eyelashes.
"...Elena?"
Melia smiled weakly, and the next second, her neck was hugged by Alexandra, and her right hand was held in Elena's arms.
"Uh, you, don't split into two and pull me."
She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What was this?
"She's not me."
They both spoke in unison, then fell silent. Never mind, there was no need to lie to myself. They were both essentially Elena, but with parts of their personalities split off, heading down two completely different paths.
They let go of her hands almost at the same time and placed Melia in the pile of leaves.
Alexandra raised her royal sword, while Elena drew her scimitar from her waist. The fairy was dead, and all their plans were shattered. Sooner or later, the two of them would become one. The important thing was... who would be that one.
Rumble, rumble, pieces of crystal vanished into thin air, the floor shook violently, and the entire castle threatened to collapse. The Roman residents at the bottom also began to twitch, biting their lips, as if waking from a nightmare.
"Stop fighting!" Melia got up from the ground and tried to run between the two people, but they tacitly dodged her.
"Don't stop me, the one who survives is the winner." The knife and the sword collided with each other, playing the final dance.
"Hey, have you forgotten something?" A dissatisfied voice sounded from the sky, and the golden dragon flapped its wings and broke in forcefully.
The huge dragon claws, one on each side, pressed the two mothers to the ground like mice.
"Hehehehe, I am the strongest!" The big cat dragon proudly spit out golden sparks, and swung its tail back and forth, almost hitting the Huns behind it.
Little thing, how can you not be strong after swallowing so much golden blood?
Attila knocked her bad tail and waved to the soldiers behind: "Hurry up, this place is about to collapse."
Just waiting for her words! Huns and Romans alike were now scrambling to descend. Melia counted the Romans crushed beneath the floorboards: It seemed as if their numbers had dwindled. Perhaps she had finally woken up from her dream.
Maybe I don’t have to run... Never mind, I’ll feel more at ease if I run.
Ding, ding, ding. While Nini was loosening her claws, Alexandra and Elena started fighting again.
The cat dragon looked at Melia in embarrassment: "Mom, how about... I flatten them all and roll them into one?"
This... seems feasible. According to the annotations in "Rose Princess," the world lines are merging. Taking this opportunity to press the two halves of the soul and body together, it should be possible to merge them into one.
Melia shook her head. Squashing was still too cruel. She ran towards Alexandra and said, "Nini, help me hold Elena down."
"Ah?" Before Elena could react, a claw slammed down, pinning her to the ground. Compared to Nini's strength, Melia's choice was more damaging.
Alexandra's wrist was grabbed and she ran after him in a daze: "You... chose me?" It's not that she was unconfident, but why did she always call her Elena?
The two ran to the broken mirror. The floor-length mirror was smashed in half by the dragon, and the entire screen was covered with snowflakes.
"Stand here first, stand still. Come, put one arm in there." Melia patted Alexandra's shoulder, then stepped back a few steps.
"?"
"Nini~"
"Mom~"
Melia stood behind the pillar and waved to the golden cat dragon: "Do you see that mirror~"
"I see."
"There's the goal, and you have the ball in your hand. Hit it and score."
What goal and what ball?
Alexandra was still confused, but Elena thought of the correct answer first: football. Nini loves to play football—wait, who is the ball?!
Bang!
A tremendous force struck her back, and the "sphere" became a flash of lightning, striking Alexandra, who was stuck in the mirror. The two figures merged into one in the trembling world, and they were no longer distinguishable.
"Good shot! I scored!" The golden dragon rolled around, its body shrinking. It bumped into Attila, who was watching the show nearby. With a bang, the two of them vanished into thin air.
Melia took a deep breath and stood alone in the crumbling castle:
All the fairies are dead, and everyone is gradually waking up. The huge magic circle has lost its magic power supply, and the world should discover this scam.
The shaking of the ground was a sign of the merging of world lines, and reality was approaching her.
Ding~ding ding.
Something was shaking in my consciousness.
If you look closely, you will see a unicorn faucet next to "Rose Princess". The plug-in adds 1~ Just kidding.
She smiled slightly, easily took out the faucet and placed it next to the crystal.
bite--
Golden threads wound around the unicorn, freeing it completely.
This beautiful fantasy creature tilted its head towards Melia, and one could feel a strong sense of joy and a feeling similar to farewell.
"Are you leaving?"
The unicorn nodded. This was the human world, and it was time for it to embark on its journey.
But there is still one thing left to do.
It gently pressed its horn against Melia's palm, emitting a stronger sense of gratitude: Make a wish, girl who saves the world, you deserve to have a beautiful wish come true.
This wish is small and limited, but it will definitely be well-intentioned.
Melia grasped the horn and immediately understood its meaning.
Many, many wishes suddenly emerged:
Money, love, health, longevity, youth, peace and luck - vague wishes can be easily misinterpreted, but the unicorn in front of you will not, it can understand the true wishes of the wisher.
"Then I make a wish—"
The plants in the basement flashed through Melia's mind. She glanced at the Rose Princess and said firmly, "May Misha and Miranda recover their health and find happiness."
The unicorn blinked, and its horn emitted a warm glow.
As you wish.
A second before the world lines merged, a streak of light streaked across the gap and fell into the deepest corner, quietly transforming a small tragedy.
Rose Princess hesitated for a moment, and the long paragraph of text disappeared without a trace.
"Thank you—bye~"
Melia raised her hand and ran as fast as she could in the direction where Nini disappeared, blending into the light.
The author has something to say:
Finally—the main storyline ends here! There's still a sweet, funny, lighthearted epilogue and extra chapters left. I'll explain the ending and the future, and try to include as many interesting moments as possible that weren't included in the main story.
Hehe, I will start updating the epilogue and extra chapters around Thursday ~ I’ve been updating so fast these past few days that my draft box is empty, so I’ll take a break, just for a few days w (rubbing my paws).
Thank you to every little angel who has read this. Because of your company and love, the loneliness of writing alone has been eliminated a lot. I will continue to work hard in the future to write more interesting stories to share with you, and look forward to seeing you again in the future journey.
I hope that this story, which I love so much, can bring you joy at some random moment. Even if it's just for a moment, that's the greatest meaning of this work.
I wish all the observers who pass by, accompany and encourage me, as well as those who have not met at this moment, can usher in a better future and hold the light of happiness.
