Chapter 925: Dance of Death


    ?


    Meanwhile---in a very distant ce---in one of the corridors of a huge castle


    *tter* *tter*


    "...Has the father arrived yet?"


    "We haven''t been summoned yet, so... No, mydy, it doesn''t seem like he''s here yet." A girl wearing feminine war armor and covering most of her face with bandages bowed slightly and spoke with the utmost respectn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    She usually wouldn''t act so formally with her mistress, but it was nesary when there was someone else around, and in this case, there were dozens of guards lined up around them.


    "Oh..."


    "...Mydy, you''ve been standing here for hours, aren''t you bored?" After a short period of silence, the armored girl asked


    Herdy didn''t answer directly, but she looked at the horizon for a long time as if she hadn''t heard anything.


    In the back, her maid couldn''t help but stare at her, just standing there it looked like a beautiful scene told in legends... Her stunning white hair in particr was eye-catching, even though it was tied with a long dagger-like pin, it looked like every strand of it was worth the world''s treasures.


    She wore a ck mask that covered most of her face, only her rubies like bright red eyes and lips were visible. She definitely wore her loose ck dress to cover herself entirely, yet every single detail of her gorgeous slender body was still noticeable,


    The masked girl looked at the horizon for a while longer, then said with a calm smile: "...It will never be boring to me."


    "May I ask why, mydy? I find it..." The armored girl looked at the horizon through the huge corridor window, and only one word came to her mind: "Terrifying."


    This castle was built on the highest mountain on the, its construction dimensions werepletely unnatural, everyone moving inside it was the same size as humans, and yet there were rooms the size of viges and halls the size of cities, this random corridor where the two girls stopped had a ceiling thirty meters high and the same width, enough for an army to pass through, yet it''s supposed to be just a random corridor to move between bedrooms!


    Those stifling dimensions were nothing to the armored girl, yet now in front of her as she looked through one of the hundreds of huge windows along the corridor, a view that took her heart and breath away...


    The sun of the was dancing~


    In short, A sun is a stable star located at a certain distance from a, any containing life must be near a stable star to gain light and warmth from it and be bound by its gravity. If the distance between them is too far, too close, or if the star is unstable, the living will turn into a mere asteroid, a floating rock without a purpose.


    But what the two see now contradicts that logic... The sun of this was not stable at all, they saw with their own eyes orange explosions urring on the surface of the sun, they saw a gray energy emerging from the interior of the sun and enveloping those explosions to suppress them... Then they saw other gray explosions urring and saw the orange energy suppressing them!


    Usually, when these explosions start, the two forces stop each other on the surface of the sun, but in some cases, perhaps every few months or every few hundred years, one of the explosions from the two forces manages to escape and head toward the in the form of energy belt.


    When the orange belt hits the, a scorching wave urs everywhere it touches, technically mortals are instantly roasted to death, grass life is wiped out, and some rocks are melted. But when the gray belt touches the ground, that ground turns into and of death.


    At least if you were when the orange belt hit you you might be able to withstand the burn and escape, if you were very strong you wouldn''t be badly hurt... At least the grass life woulde out better because the ashes of its predecessor acted as fertilizer for it. As for the area that touches the gray energy belt, it doesn''t matter if you are human, beast, or nt, everything just fades away.


    *Exhale* "You won''t understand no matter how hard I try to exin..." The girl with the mask sighed as she watched the sun''s explosions.


    When this *dance of death* first started millions of years ago as the sun started producing that terrifying gray energy, the inhabitants thought that their sun was dying and that they would inevitably follow it, but something strange happened as the orange energy of the sun started fighting and creating a bnce, eventually producing this unique ck orange sun.


    Of course, this sr battle led to waves upon waves of extinction on the''s surface, but it also led to a change in the survivors. That single sun produced powerful people with an extraordinary affinity for a heavenlyw that was said to be impossible to use, who in turn created a unique Gxy.


    So in the eyes of the girl with the mask, this supernatural event that her eyes saw, was the origin of everything around her, the ginisis.


    *tter*


    "Oh no..." The armored girl automatically took a step back, this time the dance of death wouldn''t go well, one of the gray explosions had escaped and there was an energy belt heading quickly toward the, "I have to tell everyone!!"


    "No need, no one will care... just enjoy the show." The masked girl didn''t seem to care much


    Indeed, the guards who filled the corridor and stood by every window didn''t move a step or even look behind them, to them it was normal... The gray belt would descend and im a few thousand, or even hundreds of thousands of lives, what''s the problem with that? It''s not like the''s inhabitants haven''t gotten used to it yet.


    No matter how many years have passed since the first dance of death, no matter how advanced the current poption is... That gray belt contains the major heavenlyw of destruction, there are a few innovations made to warn people of where the energy belt willnd, maybe a few defensive arrays ced on the most important ces like this castle, but that''s all. "Hmm?" At this moment, the girl with the mask narrowed her red eyes, someone had appeared above the castle.


    That person was standing in the middle of the air with an unnatural majesty, his body was of average height and build, he had gray hair that reached his shoulders, and although his features were not fully visible from that angle, it could be seen from his taut skin and drawn jawbone that he was a handsome man who was about forty by the mortal age.


    That person looked up with a smile, then said the most arrogant thing a person could say, "No, not today, Sun of Destra, how could I allow such misfortune when I have just arrived?" Immediately after, he thrust his palm upwards towards the enormous gray belt.


    *Hmmm*


    The rapidly expanding palm mmed into the gray belt and immediately the two of them stopped, after which they just vanished without any explosion or energy waves, the palm contained enough power topletely nullify the belt in an unnatural disy of infinite power and precision... everything ended with a thrust from his hand.


    "Hmm?" When that person felt someone''s eyes on his back, he turned around and smiled


    when he saw the masked girl watching him from the window, "My dear Fifth, Helen, it''s been


    a long time."


    The Masked girl, Helen, grabbed her dress at the ends and bowed slightly, "You arete,


    Father."
