I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

He sighed and staggered toward the direction where Cecil had just fallen. He hadn't walked far when he came across a large crater and Guangbao, who was still lying in the crater.

"Wow! Duke, did you see that?! I did it!"

Upon seeing his companion, Cecil immediately waved his hands excitedly:

"I really shot down a star! I saved everyone!"

She looked extremely disheveled; her knight's armor was now tattered and torn to shreds by the intense holy light and the high temperature around the meteorite, revealing large patches of her fair skin. However, Guangbao was unusually excited. Upon seeing Duke, the child immediately jumped up and started laughing and gesturing wildly at him.

Looking at her smile, Duke, who had been frowning, was also infected by it and couldn't help but smile back, sincerely remarking:

"Cecil, well done."

Chapter 214 The Temptation of Pure White

"Cecil, well done."

Duke smiled and nodded, then leaped into the crater Cecil had created, standing right in front of her.

But his gaze soon fell on Cecil's barely clothed state. Duke had shown no embarrassment when looking at Megan and Talia (who controlled Xingyin's body) who openly exposed their beautiful figures; in fact, he looked at them with complete openness. However, when faced with Cecil, whose figure was far inferior to that of a certain saint and a certain empress, he immediately looked away.

Guangbao noticed Duke's strange behavior. She tilted her head and asked curiously, "Huh? What's wrong, Duke?"

"N-nothing." Duke's voice was devoid of any emotion, but he quickly pulled out the Lazy Man's Magic Wardrobe from his inventory, slammed it in front of Cecil, and said, word by word, "Change your clothes."

Why—

Cecil's voice stopped abruptly. She seemed to sense something, and looked down at her knight's armor, which was basically just tattered pieces and rags, and the undershirt underneath. Her face fell instantly, and she quickly raised her hand to cover her potentially exposed private parts... But when she raised her hand, she realized that there was nothing to cover her chest at all, and her mood immediately plummeted.

However, Guangbao has always been carefree since she was little. One second she might be immersed in the fact that she has a "steel plate" and be so sad that she can't control herself, but the next second she looks up and sees Duke looking away because he is shy and embarrassed. Her bad mood is swept away at once, and even the embarrassment and shyness are thrown to the back of her mind. Instead, she jumps up excitedly and points at Duke: "Haha, you're shy, Duke!"

"I didn't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense."

Du, who was being hypocritical, immediately glared and refused to admit it.

"Hehe, I know you're attracted to my alluring body. It's not your fault, it's all my fault for being such a bewitching woman." Guangbao put her hands on her hips and proudly puffed out her tattered knight's plate armor. She used to be very self-conscious about her size and always felt that she wasn't feminine enough, but now it seems that even with this body, she still has an attraction for men.

However, her smug voice quickly turned to astonishment and exasperation when Cecil casually opened the wardrobe in front of her:

"Speaking of which, Duke, why do you carry a wardrobe with you all the time... wait, why is there nothing in your wardrobe except for an evening gown and a pair of high heels? Look closely, isn't this the dress I wore during the Cinderella game?! Did you steal it back then?! You pervert!"

“How is that possible?” Duke rolled his eyes. “This wardrobe is a magical item. When the user opens the wardrobe door, it will automatically generate the most suitable clothes for the person’s situation that day.”

Duke's magical item had been used in the Kingdom of Demolition and the Sleeping Beauty World, but Cecil did not participate in either of those witch games, so Lightpuff naturally did not know about the item's existence and effects.

Cecil smacked his lips and muttered to himself:

"The most suitable clothes for the other person's situation that day, how amazing, but why this outfit... Ah."

She suddenly realized something.

Having been raised as a paladin since childhood, she has hardly ever worn casual clothes. Even after arriving in the floating city, Cecil's most frequently worn clothes are knight armor. From a certain perspective, wearing this evening gown and high heels, transforming into the SSR Cecil (Cinderella limited version), is the most beautiful outfit she has ever worn since birth—at least, a certain lewd elf who hasn't appeared in a long time commented on her outfit as "I can be lewd."

As for why the lazy man's magic wardrobe thinks Cecil needs a "pretty outfit," it's mostly because of Duke.

She suddenly remembered the Cinderella game.

She recalled the voice that echoed in her ear like a devil's whisper from that dream:

"Why did you give Duke to Amber? You were the one who came first, whether it was meeting her or liking her..."

She understood perfectly well that those were actually her true thoughts.

Cecil covered her cheeks with both hands. Even when she realized that her clothes were tattered and exposed a large area of ​​her fair skin, her face had never been this red. Now her whole face was flushed, and even the base of her ears was blushing.

Remembering her true feelings, she immediately lowered her head and hid in the closet, avoiding Duke's gaze. But this brought her closer to the beautiful white evening gown, and in her haste, she bumped into the gown's hanger, nearly knocking it over.

When the evening gown swayed violently on the hanger in the closet, she quickly reached out and steadied it. Guangbao then remained in that position, staring at the white evening gown in her hands, and began to struggle with her decision.

To wear or not to wear, that is the question.

"If you don't want to wear it, that's fine. Go back and have Zun make you a knight's plate armor. Maybe he'll even make you a modified knight's armor that can unleash twenty consecutive lightning bolts. Wouldn't that be better?"

Duke's words helped Cecil make up her mind. She ripped off her Cinderella gown and shouted at Duke:

Turn around!

"oh oh."

As the sound of clothes rubbing against each other filled the air, Duke soon heard Cecil calling from behind:

"I'm dressed."

At this moment, Duke finally turned around and was immediately stunned by the pure white girl in front of him.

The already tall and slender Radiant Witch had to undergo a subtle change in her figure after putting on crystal high heels, instantly transforming her from a simple and honest female knight into a seductive witch.

The white evening gown that revealed her bare shoulders helped her accentuate her strengths and minimize her weaknesses, fully showcasing her advantageous body proportions. The slit in the skirt also allowed her long, slender legs to be partially exposed to the air.

Despite having trained extensively since childhood, with every muscle perfectly toned, Cecil's skin didn't have the tanned hue of a wheat-colored tan. Instead, it appeared excessively pale, so pale that Duke couldn't help but suspect she bathed in milk every day.

Cecil, unaccustomed to high heels and evening gowns, shifted uncomfortably before asking somewhat awkwardly and nervously:

"How...how is it?"

"It's beautiful."

To be honest, during the Cinderella game, Duke didn't really observe Cecil's attire properly. Firstly, at that time, Guangbao was so engrossed in the battle that he not only broke the heels of his high heels but also tore most of his cumbersome evening gown, making it difficult to discern what he would normally look like. Secondly, well, Natasha's Kiss of Truth had, in every sense, "filled his brain," and upon returning to reality after completing the game, it was the turn of that perverted elf to offer a powerful and proactive kiss.

To be honest, I'm sorry to say to Guangbao, but he really didn't have time to pay attention to what she was wearing at the time.

At this point, he had to admit that he had been blind to the truth back then.

"really?"

Cecil smiled happily, patted her chest, and relaxed completely as if she had breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Duke's praise.

Duke stared intently at Cecil, nodded seriously, and then, as if satisfied, sincerely remarked:

"Yes, it's really beautiful."

Chapter 215 Have you ever heard of Stand users?

After commenting on Cecil's new outfit, Duke and Guangbao, having lost their initial excitement, refocused their attention on business. Duke told Cecil everything he had just remembered—the truth and hidden secrets of this world.

"So, there are still two large meteorites hanging in outer space, which could fall at any moment?"

Cecil's eyes widened. She surprisingly understood what Duke was saying and even offered a summary of the story he was telling. Moreover, this summary was very accurate, basically pointing out the biggest difficulties they were currently facing.

Whether it's Alexander lurking in the shadows or the internal conflicts within the Dragon Ant civilization that are about to erupt, the only things that could ultimately threaten either of them or the world are those two meteorites that are now over seven kilometers in diameter.

Guangbao fell into deep thought. She looked down at the Judgment Angel and the enraged silver dragon in her hands and muttered, "Seven kilometers in diameter, can I break it?"

"It's unlikely."

You doubt me!

Guangbao's eyes widened upon hearing Duke's evaluation, followed by Duke's explanation:

"The meteorite you just shattered was at most one kilometer in diameter. Do you understand what a meteorite with a diameter of more than seven kilometers means?"

"It's only seven times, I didn't even use my full strength just now."

"Not seven times, it's seven times seven times three hundred and forty-three times. That asteroid is three-dimensional." Duke corrected her, gesturing casually with his hand in front of his chest. "Of course, the asteroid isn't exactly a perfect shape or a polygon. Its shape is irregular. It won't be three hundred and forty-three times bigger, but it must be at least several hundred times bigger, and there are two of them!"

Cecil: "...That's all."

Even she couldn't muster blind confidence in the face of such a massive difference.

If Cecil truly ascends to legendary status and fully grasps her own legendary destiny, perhaps she could really give it a try.

The legends Duke had encountered were all incredibly overpowered. For example, there was Carol, who could manipulate time; Talia, who could put the entire world to sleep; and Scarlet, the epitome of miracles… It seemed that, apart from a certain self-proclaimed legend who was actually always embarrassing herself, all the legends he knew were outrageous.

If they were here, they might really be able to shoot down the stars.

However, Cecil was by his side, while Guangbao was not as far as Geyue had gone on the path of legend. If Geyue could use an extremely powerful legendary destiny by paying a huge price, then even if Cecil was willing to pay the same price, he would not be able to find the path to a legendary destiny.

If they gave her a little more time... it was clear that Alexander and the Dragon Ant civilization were not prepared to give her much more time.

"But it's not entirely impossible."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

“The way to shoot down a star,” Duke said casually, as if he had suddenly come up with an immature idea. He said to Cecil, “If we don’t catch Alexander before he detonates the ultimate deterrent, we’ll have to face the worst-case scenario. In that case, even if we can’t do it, we’ll have to shoot down two real stars. One for you, one for me.”

“One for me?” Cecil’s voice rose sharply, revealing her astonishment. “One for you?!”

The former surprised her enough, but the latter surprised her even more.

"Never mind how I do it, we need you to shoot down one of the stars first." Duke casually changed the subject, as if he really could shoot down a star (7km version), but Cecil's computer found his confident demeanor unquestionable—she was willing to believe that Duke could do anything. "To be honest, I have a rather risky plan."

"what?"

"Do you remember what I did during the Cinderella game? Yes, first I shot myself with a neon gun, and then I stabbed myself with an insect arrow."

Duke pulled out the long-unseen Insect Arrow from his inventory. Ever since he obtained the Soul Requiem with this arrow during the Cinderella Game, he hadn't taken it out again. Now, he handed it to Cecil:

"Guangbao, have you ever heard of Stand users?"

"?"

……

The Dragon Ant Summit is a major event that attracts worldwide attention throughout the Dragon Ant civilization. It is held only once every four years and determines many matters between dinosaurs and ants. A large number of political proposals are put forward and put on the agenda during this period.

Generally speaking, the Dragon Ant Summit should be broadcast live to the public, so that every ordinary dinosaur or ant can access the latest summit news.

But this year's Dragon Ant Summit seems rather strange... So far, there has been no live broadcast or news coverage of the agenda's progress; it's as if the entire summit venue has suddenly vanished. As a result, ordinary citizens have begun to speculate about what exactly happened at this year's Dragon Ant Summit.

It's impossible for the summit venue to be hit by a meteorite, right?

This is a joke from the Dinosaur Internet, and no one expected it to actually be true.

Of course, the meteorite attack on the Dragon Ant Summit was an attempted impact; since none of the key leaders attending the summit were present, the loss was likely limited to only a few ant councilors, which wasn't a major issue. Therefore, the main reason the agenda wasn't broadcast live was because the nature of this Dragon Ant Summit had changed.

It turned into a third kind of contact with aliens (people from another world), and a discussion with the aliens about how to deal with another alien.

The story's style suddenly became sci-fi.

However, neither the two emperors of the dinosaur empire nor the president of the ant federation could ignore Duke's presence—he had already demonstrated the power of humanity to them.

Whether it's the massive, technologically advanced Zul'Dragon robot (the dinosaurs couldn't understand how many of Zul'Dragon's designs worked smoothly because the technology it used was fundamentally different from the physical sciences they were familiar with), or Cecil's individual combat capabilities capable of shooting down stars (youth version), both prove that Duke has the qualifications to negotiate with them.

Or rather, His Majesty the Emperors and the President... are more worried that if they don't let Duke participate in the Dragon Ant Summit, he'll kill them all and scatter their ashes along with them.
