Chapter 1377 - 1121: Decisive
The spaceship hovering above the Imperial City suddenly accelerated its departure, and this occurred after the Emperor had returned. Almost everyone guessed that the ship might be heading towards the Ghost City, and some even boarded their private shuttles, trailing it from afar.
"Your Majesty, someone is tracking us. Shall we shoot them down?" a White-skinned warrior asked.
"No need, let them follow. I need them to see with their own eyes how the strongest of them, Princess Elsa, will be destroyed by my warriors! By then, they will lose all hope and completely submit to my rule!" The Emperor said, then his expression subtly changed, and he added in a low voice, "And, I will ensure that prophecy will never come to pass."
Elsa immediately received news of the spaceships being dispatched.
The alarms in Ghost City began to sound, "Warning, Ghost City is entering the highest state of readiness for battle, all games are ceasing, please all visitors immediately settle your accounts."
Some visitors, who were enjoying their gambling, unwillingly slapped the tables, indicating they didn’t want to leave, but were carried out directly by the surrounding Ghost Girls. Such behavior was extremely rare in normal times, since Ghost City had very lenient management, and visitors were seldom punished unless they went too far. This time, the Ghost Girls’ actions without explanation made many realize that something big must have happened.
After the warning played twice, Elsa’s image appeared over Ghost City.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I will now explain to you what is happening," Elsa said.
Then, a strangely shaped spaceship appeared, moving at high speed.
"Ten minutes ago, the ship that had been hovering above the Celestial Clan’s Imperial City suddenly accelerated towards Ghost City. I believe they are coming specifically for me. So, I have no choice but to shut down all games. You can choose to immediately cash out and leave. Of course, you can also choose to suspend your game and stay here to watch. I will ensure your safety. There is half an hour until the ship arrives, you can make your decision now."
Her words immediately caused panic among some, who hastily exchanged their chips, and some even rushed to their own ships without bothering to cash out. Yet some were calm, choosing to stay and witness the battle, as this was certainly a duel that would make history. It might signify the true first confrontation between the Celestial Clan’s Emperor and Elsa! The direction this duel took would undoubtedly decide the future path of the Celestial Clan! They had to stay, they wanted to be the witnesses to history! But no matter the choice, these people had already boarded ships, because if anything went wrong, they could leave immediately.
The usually bustling Ghost City was now eerily quiet, with two thousand Ghost Girls standing outside awaiting the arrival of the ship. The remaining Ghost Girls were in the back, responsible for protecting the spectators’ ships.
Soon, that strangely shaped ship finally appeared, followed by a large fleet of variously sized ships. It appeared that they were all coming to watch the battle!
The doors of the spaceship opened, and one by one, energy-armored warriors flew out, hovering in mid-air.
There were about a thousand of them.
Elsa waved her hand, and the thousand Ghost Girls in the front lines immediately switched to combat mode and ascended.
At this moment, the Emperor did not appear; he remained inside the ship, unsure why, but he felt a sense of unease, and oddly enough, he did not know where this feeling was coming from.
Elsa also slowly ascended, watching the ship from a distance, certain that the Emperor was there. If it were anyone else, Elsa would have smashed the ship without a word, but after all, he was her father.
However, the Emperor inside the ship was not her father, for he was the Divine Worm!
"Attack!" the Emperor with red-glowing eyes commanded. The White-skinned warriors clad in energy alloy armor charged forward.
"Crush them!" Elsa said.
A series of roars and explosions followed; the warriors from both sides collided without reservation. To those White-skinned warriors, they believed they needed no skill – their only job was to charge straight ahead, and then the enemy would shatter before them. Especially at this moment, it was such a group of fragile girls they were facing. They could almost hear the sound of the girls breaking when they charged through.
But instead, they heard only a massive boom and felt an intense shock.
Those Ghost Girls clad in tight-fitting soft armor had actually blocked their charge! Not only had they withstood the impact, but the Ghost Girls also emitted even greater pressure!
Boom!
At the moment of impact, strong energy burst forth from the Ghost Girls’ armguards, sending those White-skinned warriors flying backwards!
"Damn it!"
Although they were actually unharmed, it was the first time they found themselves knocked back upon contact!
```
"Impossible! Full attack!" barked the leading warrior.
The failure of the first assault greatly stimulated these white-skinned warriors, but it also greatly encouraged the Ghost Spirit girls. To put it simply, although these Ghost Spirit girls had always been undergoing training, their actual combat experience was almost nil. Most of them were not clear on the extent of their own strength. However, after this assault, they were immediately filled with confidence!
"Each of you, fight on your own! Remember what you’ve been trained!" Elsa said.
The crowd dispersed, and the battle began immediately, with the white-skinned warriors and Ghost Spirit girls engaging in fierce combat. But in the spacecraft, the Emperor’s heart grew colder, for he had realized that he had lost.
The white-skinned warriors were strong, extremely strong. Yet, if they couldn’t gain the upper hand in the first wave of the fight, that was enough to prove that these Ghost Spirit girls were at least as strong as the white-skinned warriors, if not stronger!
Could it be that the detachment from their home star could affect the combat power of these white-skinned fighters so much? The Emperor mused to himself.
At that moment, the battle on both sides was intense, but the Emperor also noticed that there were a thousand Ghost Spirit girls below who had not made a move. And at the back, several thousand Ghost Spirit girls were lying in wait. If all the Ghost Spirits joined in the combat, then he believed that the white-skinned warriors would not be able to hold on for long.
So, this is your trump card.
The Emperor smiled.
Although it was a bit regrettable, the Emperor knew he had lost. He had miscalculated Elsa’s strength. But he did not care, for he could have as many white-skinned warriors as he wanted! He just needed to wait for the time, wait for the right moment, wait until that star re-entered this plane. Then, his vast army would completely crush this place! Then, this plane would truly become their pasture for breeding Crystal Poison, and by then, not even the Home Star could stop them!
For now, letting you be slightly proud will also do. But, Elsa, oh Elsa, don’t think that you can win just like that!
The spacecraft suddenly activated and disappeared in a surge of waves. The white-skinned warriors, still in combat, were immediately dumbfounded. What was going on? Were they being abandoned?
At that moment, the armor of the white-skinned warriors suddenly burst into intense light!
Elsa, extremely sensitive to energy fluctuations, immediately realized that this was not about increasing power, but that these armors were about to explode!
"Everyone, full defense!" Elsa commanded loudly.
Instantly, dazzling light enveloped everything, and a terrifying roar of violent energy fluxes was incessant. However, the energy burst came quickly and disappeared just as fast. As the glow faded, the people within the spacecraft at the rear saw Elsa’s kilometers long Light Wings slowly drifting in the sky.
"That was quite decisive."
Elsa, looking at the still-lingering spatial fluctuations in the distance, suddenly said with a smile.
This time the Emperor had not truly appeared, but the previous signs indicated that the Emperor had indeed been on that spacecraft. In essence, this was a real showdown between the Emperor and his daughter, Elsa.
Obviously, Elsa won very cleanly and unquestionably. Not only did she win, but she also did so without dispute. Elsa’s side had a clear numerical superiority over the invaders, but she did not use her numerical advantage and won the fight in a one-on-one manner instead.
The most surprising thing about the whole affair was the Emperor’s swift departure. He didn’t even wait for the outcome of the battle.
With the Emperor gone and the First Prince also missing, no one presided over the affairs of the Empire for a time, and ultimately the ministers had to call for Selena again. At this point, Selena found everything quite amusing; the matter between Elsa and their father seemed to have excluded everyone else from the circle of power, and in the end, she became the sole powerholder in the Imperial City.
Not long after the battle ended, the First Prince Sajia suddenly appeared in the Imperial City. He traveled wearily with a face full of stubble but seemed more energized than before. After entering the Imperial Palace, he went directly to Selena. The first thing he said when he saw her was, "Take me to Elsa; I have something very important to give to her."
Selena gave Sajia a skeptical look and then said, "You failed to control me and now plan to directly control Elsa?"
Sajia’s face showed a look of embarrassment: "I was under the control of the Divine Worm then; it wasn’t my will." Immediately, Sajia said earnestly, "But now it’s different. I’ve found something, something our father left me a long time ago, something only the three of us together can open. I think this might be the key to some problems."
Sajia produced a metallic sphere from his personal space, a Celestial Clan device that used a Bloodline seal on the inside. Unless opened by a Bloodline owner, anything sealed inside would be immediately destroyed upon opening.
This didn’t seem to be fake.
Selena agreed to accompany Sajia to the Ghost Spirit City, perhaps the secret to everything was indeed hidden there. And even if there were still Divine Worms lurking, Elsa wasn’t the kind to be afraid.
After arranging matters in the Imperial City, Selena and Sajia headed straight for the Ghost Spirit City. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian website. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
