And then, it’s time for the real show to begin.

In mid-air, Prince Austin opened his arms, and a crazy light shone in his golden eyes.

He sang loudly:

"The fog of chaos, the home of the disordered!"

"You are the life behind life, the world behind the world!"

"I offer you my tribute! Take your godhood! Take the godhood of life!"

"Let the golden sun awaken again and light up the golden dawn again!"

The manic black fog spread in the air, forming the shape of an altar, and the spiritual power in Prince Austin's body quickly seeped outward.

However, when the altar was completed, the ceremony did not begin.

"...?"

Prince Austin turned his head and looked at the terrace on the upper floor of the mansion - that was the core of the ceremony, and his high-level wizards should be on standby there, ready to start the ritual magic at any time.

And when Prince Austin's eyes fell there, he just saw a petite girl pulling the dagger out of the throat of the last wizard, and blood splattered in the moonlight.

Next to the little girl, another girl was standing on the edge of the terrace, one foot dangling in the air, arms outstretched, trying to maintain balance.

She looked like a child playing and frolicking, but when Prince Austin saw her blood-red eyes, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

With the help of the "Song of Death" status, he suddenly realized who it was.

That is God, the God who has been missing from the very beginning.

......

"..."

The corners of Austin's mouth curled up slightly, and when he saw the girl playing in the moonlight, the golden light in his eyes became brighter.

Driven by the black mist, he flew to the highest terrace of the mansion and landed on the edge.

Alia turned her head and stared at Prince Austin silently, holding the blade in her hand in reverse.

Just as she was about to make a move, she heard Aurora say:

"Little Alia, you should retreat first. We can handle this here."

Alia was startled and said:

"But, Miss Saint..."

"Don't worry, the goddess is protecting us~" Aurora smiled.

She jumped lightly from the edge, landed on the stone tiles of the terrace, stepped over the blood, came to Alia, and rubbed her head.

In an instant, her red eyes turned cold again:

"Don't let anyone leave the manor."

Alia nodded, glared at Prince Austin once more, then tore through the shadows and disappeared.

After she disappeared, Aurora turned lightly, clasped her hands behind her back, and smiled:

"So, it seems your little attempt is going to fail?"

Prince Austin looked at the girl in front of him, who was just over 1.5 meters tall, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious:

"I have succeeded. I have summoned the 'Song of Death', a true descendant of God. As long as it can absorb more power, your authority will be mine."

"Really?" Aurora smiled brightly.

"You were all part of my plan from the beginning to the end," Austin said, his right corner of his mouth rising higher and higher. "Your servants entered my altar, and the 'Tree of Life' mark on their hands formed part of the altar... But I couldn't imagine that even you would come here in person and walk so openly into my trap."

"Yeah." Aurora smiled and nodded.

"Nothing else you want to say? I've never spoken to a god before. I'm impressed, huh?"

The smile on Austin's face became more and more obvious, and it seemed that he really enjoyed speaking polite words.

Aurora thought for a moment, then asked curiously:

"Why don't you kill our servant first? What if she escapes? Then your altar will be useless?"

"It doesn't matter. She won't escape. She's bound by the stupid world," Austin smiled. "She can't accept the death of others, and can't free herself from the shackles of the world. This means she's destined to be inferior."

"That makes sense... We told her to retreat first, but she was still thinking about that senior..."

Aurora muttered, with an unhappy expression on her face, looking like a neglected kitten.

"It's all over now. You figured it all in," Aurora spread her hands. "You're so smart. Who did you learn that from?"

Prince Austin's expression trembled slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared between his brows:

"I am a believer in the Golden Sun, a true god far more exalted than you. His return is destined. As His servant, I am naturally noble and wise."

"I see you quite like that big fireball," Aurora nodded. "You also quite like your brother, don't you? Even making a statue of him makes you kneel before him, like a puppy..."

Having said that, Aurora covered her mouth and giggled, looking at Prince Austin with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"Why are you so close to your brother? You even kneel down in front of him like a puppy. Please teach me a lesson. I can't get along with my sister."

Prince Austin frowned, his tone no longer cheerful, and he was obviously insulted:

"That's enough. You don't give me the impression of a god. I'm disappointed. The god who controls the Tree of Life is a joke..."

He opened his arms, and black mist spewed out from his sleeves, forming the outline of a huge dark cloud in the air:

"You successfully escaped from 'Motiheim', and now you are in the territory of 'Star Sea Goddess'. You dare not, and cannot, use your full authority, so you are no match for me."

"Is that so?" Aurora was surprised. "It seems so... You've made such a big noise, maybe the goddess is watching. I dare not give it my all..."

Prince Austin showed a victorious smile on his face. At the same time, several "Immortals" wearing jackal armor suddenly jumped onto the platform and stood in front of Prince Austin.

They began chanting almost at the same time, and black mist poured out from between their armors, merging with the dark clouds in the sky.

Prince Austin's eyes turned black, and he opened his hands. A huge string magic circle unfolded with the terrace as the center, once again covering the entire manor.

"Since you are here in person, become the seed of a new world."

Prince Austin murmured, the smile on his face becoming more and more obvious:

"This is your destiny."

At this moment, a figure trailing flames flew from a distance and landed beside Aurora.

Xingmo raised her head, looked at Aurora, then at the Immortal and Prince Austin, and immediately raised her wand—

"Need not."

The wand was grasped by a delicate white hand and then pressed down gently.

Xingmo turned around and saw Aurora smiling, with scattered stars spinning in her blood-red eyes.

"Indeed, we really can't use all our strength."

Aurora raised her head and looked at Prince Austin in the air with a smile on her face.

The next second, unparalleled majesty suddenly surged from those bloodshot eyes:

"But does it take strength to crush an ant?"

Xingmo didn't even have time to react before everything happened.

In the first second, green light rippled, and the string magic array composed of black fog shattered, and the "anti-life element" evaporated and turned into green light.

The next second, several Immortals rushed towards Aurora like wild beasts. The latter simply raised her wand and hooked and poked them.

In the third second, the "Immortal" fell to the ground without any warning. He looked intact, but he had lost his life.

Three seconds later, the ritual was broken.

At this moment, Prince Austin turned into twisted black mist and pounced on Xingmo and Aurora.

Xingmo raised her wand, and Aurora casually snapped her fingers. A pale green light curtain lit up, protecting the two of them.

"Buzzing—"

Waves of black fog washed over the light curtain, and the bricks and tiles on the top of the terrace were torn apart by the black fog, turning into dust and flying away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xing Mo gathered his spiritual power and uttered obscure and difficult words:

“‘Submission’!”

A mountain-like pressure descended from the sky, and the black fog seemed to freeze for a moment, turning into particles.

Aurora waved her hand casually, and the particles spread out, turning into green ripples.

The ripples gathered in the air, outlining a shape - that was Prince Austin with a furious face.

He said nothing, but drew his wand and aimed it at Aurora—

——No! Aim at Xingmo!

"I'm taking your servants!"

Green light poured out from the tip of his staff. At this moment, Xingmo's inspiration suddenly sensed an unparalleled crisis.

She felt her soul stirred—no! Not her soul!

It's the "String of Life"!

Prince Austin actually mastered the power to manipulate the "Strings of Life"!

Anyone would die if he just gave them a slight provocation!

At this moment, Xingmo was at a loss.

But the next second, this feeling of hanging on the edge of life and death disappeared.

Xing Mo only felt a small hand holding her hand, and the next second, Prince Austin suddenly screamed:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Take away our servant?" Aurora's voice was cold. "She is ours. What gives you the right to take her away?"

7) Red Epiphyllum (Part 12) -5k chapter-

Xingmo opened her clairvoyance and saw Aurora holding a green string—the "String of Life" belonging to Prince Austin.

For hundreds, no, thousands of years, many humans have been searching for the "String of Life", but they have found nothing.

And now, the string appeared in front of Xingmo - rippling with green light, sacred and evil.

That is the power that humans have desired since ancient times: to control life and death.

But Aurora just fiddled with it casually, like a kitten playing with a ball of yarn.

“Ahhhh!! Ah…”

Prince Austin was trembling all over, black energy began to surge out of his body, and the skin on his face peeled off piece by piece.

Seeing his miserable appearance, Aurora casually pulled the string and broke it.

Prince Austin fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and suddenly his whole body exploded.

He exploded into a ball of black mist, and countless human faces appeared on the black mist: some were in pain, some were confused, and some were happy.

The black mist suddenly collapsed into a point and disappeared, but this time, Xing Mo did not feel any huge monster passing over his head.

"What's going on?" Xing Mo murmured, "Where's Prince Austin?"

Aurora looked at the place where the black fog had dissipated, and her smile grew even brighter.

"Interesting... Really interesting..."

"What do you mean?" Xing Mo turned her head.

"He successfully deceived me," Aurora smiled. "From the very beginning, his purpose in holding the banquet wasn't to seize the authority over 'Life'."

"what is that?"

"Change position." Aurora whispered.

......

"Boom——"

Silver-white lightning passed through the blood-red curtains, briefly illuminating Prince Austin's profile.
