Volume 3, Chapter 83 – Celestial Blight

—”Who exactly are you?!”

Staring intently at the smiling woman, Mu Yelan questioned sternly.

The spiritual power within his body was unleashed at this moment, and the violent spiritual power containing angry emotions surged in all directions like waves, directly cracking the corridor walls.

However, while displaying his formidable aura, Mu Yelan’s heart was beating frantically with extreme unease, almost ready to jump out of his chest the next moment.

The woman before him was undoubtedly identical to his mother in every way—whether in aura or temperament, there was no difference.

However, in Shangguan Jie’s eyes, the woman before him was his wife.

The same figure showed different forms in different people’s eyes.

Moreover, they were the forms of their most beloved…

This kind of eerie ability… perhaps only that creature could possess it.

—”That monster, in the eyes of ordinary people, will take the appearance of their most beloved. Your Highness, if you unfortunately encounter that monster in the future, you must remember this point. You cannot be deceived by that monster’s appearance.”

Recalling his imperial tutor’s words, Mu Yelan couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

But as the ruler of a nation, he still stabilized his emotions and seriously questioned:

“Are you… the Celestial Blight?!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly became extremely oppressive. Shangguan Jie, who had previously looked anxious to rush forward, suddenly trembled all over and looked ahead in terror.

Hearing this, the golden-haired woman who had been standing there silently for a long time couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile.

“To actually regain consciousness—quite rare.”

While sighing, a trace of disappointment faintly flashed through the woman’s pupils.

After all, the vast majority of living beings would lose their reason after seeing her, becoming immersed in illusions unable to extricate themselves, and quietly passing away in happiness.

This was her unique gentleness.

It was also one of her hobbies.

But in just these few short days, two people had consecutively regained their reason?

This obviously still left her somewhat affected.

“Forget it, forget it.”

The woman shook her head.

Since she had already been exposed, she had no interest in continuing to communicate with them in this form.

The next moment, under the solemn gaze of Mu Yelan and Shangguan Jie, the energy around the golden-haired woman began to gradually surge.

Accompanied by a sudden sinister white light twisting and churning in the air, the golden-haired woman’s figure trembled slightly as if being torn apart by some invisible force.

That light bloomed silently, yet carried a suffocating oppressive feeling, as if the entire space had frozen in an instant.

The white light swept over like a tide, completely swallowing her outline.

After sensing the terrifying curse power aura contained within that white light, even Mu Yelan, who was at the Divine Departure Realm, involuntarily held his breath.

A bitter laugh escaped from Mu Yelan’s mouth:

“Heh, hehe… I never thought it really was…”

A few seconds later, the light suddenly dissipated, and a completely different figure slowly appeared before Mu Yelan and Shangguan Jie.

It wasn’t Mu Yelan’s cherished mother, nor Shangguan Jie’s worried wife.

But a beautiful girl who appeared to be only fourteen years old.

She had snow-white long hair reaching to her waist, with silky smooth ends that reflected cold light in the dim corridor. Among the strands at her forehead, several eerie crimson streaks were highlighted, like blood stains soaking through snow, carrying a kind of sinister, discordant beauty.

The girl’s eyes were deep, ethereal blue, clear as lake water, yet seeming to hide bottomless abysses, giving one the illusion of having their soul drawn in at first glance.

Her features were as exquisite as a divinely crafted idol—a delicate nose tip, gentle lip lines, and pale skin without the slightest flaw, even carrying a doll-like roundness and softness that was adorably heart-stirring.

What the girl wore was a white little dress that fluttered lightly in the wind, the hem outlining her slender, tender figure. It matched her age yet inevitably made one feel a certain fatal allure.

Accompanied by waves of curse power, mandala flower patterns slowly emerged at the center of the girl’s forehead, glowing faintly.

Those flowers were extremely eerie, as if blooming at the edge of the underworld, emanating an invisible aura of death.

Undoubtedly, the girl was quite beautiful and adorable, the type that made one want to hold her in their arms and cherish her.

However, beneath this innocence and adorableness, an ominous aura that made one’s heart palpitate faintly seeped through.

The girl stood there quietly, without movement or words, but the pressure emanating from around her was like an invisible blade that mercilessly pierced into the depths of Mu Yelan and Shangguan Jie’s souls.

Mu Yelan’s pupils contracted, cold sweat instantly covered his back, and even his breathing involuntarily stopped. He clearly felt that this trembling didn’t come from his body, but was an instinctive reaction at the soul level.

Adorable as an angel, yet eerie as a demon…

This was Mu Yelan’s first impression of the being before him.

“Celestial Blight… Ulutiel.”

After realizing the identity of the girl before him, Mu Yelan immediately gathered spiritual power around his body and assumed a defensive stance.

Shangguan Jie behind him did the same, directly drawing the magic gun from his back and aiming the dark muzzle at the white-haired girl’s forehead. Although the girl’s appearance was breathtakingly beautiful, the two had no intention of showing mercy.

After all, they were facing the leader of the Vassals of Sky.

One of the three evil goddesses…

The Sky Dominator.

“Why are you here?!”

Mu Yelan asked coldly.

Faced with this question, Ulutiel tilted her head and replied with a giggle:

“What’s so difficult about that~? Your Divine Departure Realm experts are almost all dead. Without any experts maintaining the detection barriers~, infiltrating~ isn’t it easy as pie? Hehe~”

Bell-like laughter echoed through the corridor.

The voice was quite pleasant, full of liveliness and childlike innocence.

But it inevitably made one feel a chill.

“Then what’s with this form of yours? You’re clearly an evil goddess… why are you pretending to be human?!”

Staring at Ulutiel’s form that was indistinguishable from a human, Mu Yelan’s tone carried thick disgust.

He didn’t dislike beautiful things.

But an evil goddess?

If such an extremely evil monster took a beautiful form, it would only disgust Mu Yelan.

“You’re clearly a monster… yet you make yourself look so beautiful.”

Hearing this, Ulutiel raised an eyebrow and the corners of her mouth lifted.

A pleasant smile quietly appeared at the corners of her mouth.

She didn’t answer Mu Yelan’s question, but looked at Mu Yelan with excitement and anticipation, stroking her cheek with one hand and slightly lifting her skirt hem, striking a cute and slightly sexy pose.

“You just said ‘beautiful things’? Sure enough, you think I look very pretty in this form, right~? Right? Right right right right?!”

As if wanting to seek confirmation again, Ulutiel confidently met Mu Yelan’s eyes and repeatedly asked.

What showed in her ethereal blue pupils was a chilling madness and obsession.

“……”

Being asked this, Mu Yelan bit his lip and didn’t reply.

Seeing this, Ulutiel suddenly turned her gaze to Shangguan Jie nearby:

“Right? I’m very beautiful, right??”

As the words came out, a terrifying curse power pressure suddenly struck Shangguan Jie with earth-shattering momentum. In just an instant, this commander of the imperial guards went weak in the knees and collapsed powerlessly to the ground.

Gasping heavily, he instinctively replied in a terrified tone:

“Yes, yes… yes… very beautiful…”

“How beautiful?”

“The most beautiful person I’ve ever seen…”

Shangguan Jie, suppressed by curse power, seemed unable to control his body and answered honestly.

Hearing this, Ulutiel laughed joyfully.

“Haha~ I knew it~”

Cupping her face with both hands, Ulutiel swayed back and forth excitedly like a little girl who had been praised, and before long even began dancing with joy.

“I knew my aesthetic sense was definitely right~”

Such a beautiful face, such a beautiful body—Big Sister will definitely like it when the time comes, hehe~

Being killed by Big Sister in such a beautiful form~ would definitely be very interesting~

Ha, haha,

—”Hahahaha~”
