Miss Dragon, the BOSS, will not be captured.

The magic gathered by Estia transformed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky. If these were false stars, they would certainly not be able to withstand the attack.

sizzle sizzle...

The beam of light collided with the starry sky, producing a crackling sound like electricity. Not long after, the beam of light disappeared, leaving a huge gap where it vanished.

The others stared blankly at the scene before them, including Ye Qingxian, because she only knew that Estia was very strong, but she had never seen Estia use an attack method that matched her strength.

The Emperor's voice rang out again, and this time Estia was certain it resounded directly in her mind, so no one else could hear it.

"Estella, do you dare to have a fair duel with me?"

"You are the Emperor himself? Aren't you already dead?"

"Enough with the nonsense! Don't waste time."

A pale blue portal appeared in front of Esther, seemingly connecting to a separate space.

"Come in quickly and fight me to the death!"

"Are you crazy?" Estia retorted without any politeness. "How would I know what's on the other side of the portal?"

It's absolutely impossible to get her into the portal.

The emperor's tone grew increasingly anxious: "Hurry! There's absolutely no problem! I'm going to take my revenge on you!"

He has now enhanced his strength at the cost of burning his soul; even if he does nothing, he will die after his soul is completely burned away.

"Doesn't that make you even more suspicious?"

"I swear on the honor of the Emperor of the Empire! I only wish to have a fair and square duel with you!"

"Bah! You dare mention honors? Didn't the Empire sign a non-aggression pact with the Dragon Kingdom back then? Did you abide by it?"

Humans are deceitful, and apart from a few humans whom Esther trusts, she will not believe the rest of humanity.

Not to mention the Emperor himself.

Section 224, page 210: Crisis Approaching

It is an undeniable fact that the human empire launched a war of annihilation against the dragon kingdom. Although they were merely accomplices, Estia will never forgive them under any circumstances.

She once personally led a demon army to breach the imperial city and killed the emperor in the palace.

To this day, Estia can still vividly recall how the Emperor died—frozen into an ice sculpture by her breath, and then shattered into pieces with a single slap.

The majestic emperor knelt before Esther on his deathbed, even crawling over to lick her shoes, trying every means to show his humility and hoping Esther would spare him.

If you knew that this would be the outcome, why did you become an accomplice in the destruction of the Dragon Kingdom?

To put it bluntly, it all comes down to self-interest. Since that's the case, there's no point in regretting the choice you made.

It's a real shame that we didn't use a photographic crystal to record the human emperor's distraught state. If the footage were released now, what would those who built statues and temples for the human emperor and worshipped him as a god think?

Although the human emperor ruled over almost all of humanity, his individual strength was no match for Esther. A thousand years later, Esther heard his voice on Earth, and he even said he wanted to fight him one-on-one...

Even the most oblivious person wouldn't accept such a ridiculous "duel".

"Estella! I will wash away the shame of my past! Come and fight me!"

The portal was right in front of him, and the Emperor's voice kept echoing in his mind, but Esther completely ignored him.

The other party wants a one-on-one fight? Fine, come out of the portal then.

Who knows what kind of world lies on the other side of the portal, or if there are traps or ambushes waiting for her?

Ignoring the Emperor, Esther approached the still-shaken Ye Qingxian and the others, checking them for any abnormalities.

The red mist from earlier was definitely not a good thing. It briefly broke through the barrier, so it shouldn't have any effect on fragile humans, right?

The sky was still full of stars. Esther fell into deep thought. Earth and Faya were clearly two separate worlds, so why did a calamity star exist there?

Could it really have followed me to Earth?

There are just too many questions she's faced with lately, and presumably the only person who can answer her questions is that "high and mighty" Lord Ling.

However, Ling has disappeared somewhere recently and doesn't appear as frequently as before. Moreover, finding her, whether on Earth or in the world of Faya, is extremely difficult.

"Estella! Fight me to the death!" The Emperor's voice rang out again, this time even more urgent.

"Are you out of your mind? The more you say that, the less I'll go."

Estia simply plopped down on the ground and just waited.

Time ticked by, and everyone stared at Esther, wondering what she was going to do next.

"By the way, can't you guys see the portal?"

"What portal?"

Everyone was completely baffled.

Everyone except Estya could not see the portal.

Estia suddenly realized that she could use her skills now, so she asked Ye Qingxian to use her reconnaissance skill to investigate the calamity star in the sky.

The investigation revealed some surprising information that greatly astonished Ye Qingxian, who then quickly shared it with her.

"???: Survive"

"Survive? Is there any more information?"

"No, that's all the information we have. By the way, is this the Cataclysm instance? It's clearly Earth..."

Hearing Ye Qingxian's words, Esther still had doubts in her heart, but she became more vigilant.

The scene unfolding before their eyes was enough to change the worldview of everyone present. For these humans, when games and reality intersected, what should they believe to be real and what should be illusory?

Ling Xue kept comforting Mo Ran. After her constant explanations, Mo Ran finally accepted Estya's dragon identity, but for her, this was just one of many questions.

Estya couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that another person had learned her secret, but she wondered if this person named Mo Ran was trustworthy.

The Emperor's voice echoed in her mind until the pale blue portal disappeared, and Esther heard the Emperor's last words—

"No—I can't accept this ending! I had a chance! No!!!"

His tone was full of resentment, but the more he acted this way, the more pleased Esther felt.

The annoying sound finally disappeared, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud. The emperor of the empire seemed to be coming with great force, but he was subject to unknown restrictions. As long as she didn't enter the portal, he wouldn't even be able to touch her.

Moreover, judging from the Emperor's words, he was probably waiting for her to duel, but he didn't expect that she wouldn't accept the challenge at all.

What a joke! She's not a simpleton. Besides, as the "Lazy Dragon," she firmly believes that anything unnecessary is as good as nothing.

But for some reason, Esther felt increasingly uneasy.

The red stars in the sky began to twinkle, and Estella's sense of danger was constantly increasing. Soon, a red star crashed to the ground like a meteorite.

"Danger!"

Apart from Esther, none of the people present had the ability to foresee danger, and even if they could, it wouldn't be of any use, because Esther had no confidence that she could stop the approaching meteor.

There was no time to react further. The star was falling at an extremely fast speed. Without any hesitation, Estella immediately hugged Ye Qingxian beside her and then used her body as a sacrifice to form the highest level of defense.

A thousand years of slacking off had indeed made Esther's reactions much slower, but when faced with unbearable danger, her instincts as a strong person still gave her time to react.

The entire world was instantly covered by red light and explosions, but it didn't seem that overwhelming. As Estya's vision gradually faded, she vaguely felt that she had inhaled a lot of "dust".

When a meteorite from outer space hits the ground, it usually creates a large crater and a loud bang. However, the explosion that resounded in Estia's ears was not as loud as she had imagined, and the range was very small. It wouldn't even cause any damage to the ground.

Unfortunately, Esther had no time to worry about anything.

It doesn't matter if she dies, because her soul can return to the continent of Faya. But if Ye Qingxian dies, she's really dead. This is Earth, which is the real world for Ye Qingxian.

As her vision gradually darkened, before she completely lost consciousness, she tightly hugged Ye Qingxian in her arms, and then everything fell silent.

Section 225, Chapter 211: The Passing of Life

"Estella, wake up."

The gentle voice of her mother reached her ears. Estia was very familiar with this voice, because she had just spent a warm time with her mother at the banquet not long ago.

"Mother?"

Estia slowly opened her eyes, but did not see her mother in front of her.

Feeling warmth in her arms, Esther realized that Ye Qingxian was being held in her embrace, and she quickly checked Ye Qingxian's condition.

"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye?"

Fortunately, Ye Qingxian seemed to have only fainted; her vital signs were normal.

"Cough cough cough..."

Estia suddenly started coughing, not from any irritant like pepper or smoke, but from an internal problem.

Dragons, thanks to their powerful physique, rarely get sick; they are completely immune to illnesses like colds and fevers.

Therefore, she immediately realized that something was wrong with the cough.

"Cough...cough cough!"

She covered her mouth with her hand and couldn't help coughing a few times. Then, warm red liquid appeared in her palm.

Hey~

The system notification sounded, but never before had a notification sound made Esther feel so upset.

You have been infected with an unknown disease.

As long as Astrea still has a brain, she'll know what the illness related to the calamity is.

Star psoriasis...

I remember Yunia once said that if she wanted to study asteroides in detail, the best way would be to get infected with asteroides herself and then conduct her research.

Infection could be contracted through deep physical contact with Ye Qingxian, but both Esther and Ye Qingxian thought it was too early to go that far, so they kept postponing it.

I never expected to get infected...
