Chapter 468 [The Chaos Princess]

Itogami Island, the top floor of the Foundation Gate.

This is the highest point on the entire Itogami Island, a lookout tower offering a panoramic view of the entire island and the surrounding sea.

The wind was howling, and there were no fences or anything like that around. If a person were standing here, it wouldn't be surprising if they were blown off the building by the wind, let alone two delicate young girls.

But as night deepened and alarms blared throughout the entire island of Shinju, causing a disturbance everywhere, two girls did indeed appear there.

One of them stood in the very center, like a witch standing on an altar, her eyes closed, yet releasing a magical power like a storm. The other sat on the very edge, her legs stretched out and swaying in the air, looking extremely comfortable.

"Boom!"

Amidst the sound of space being pierced, Aize's figure appeared.

"Is it finally here?"

In that instant, the girl, as innocent and lovely as a fairy, let out a joyful sound, as if she had met her lover.

"I've been waiting for so long, King of the Beasts."

As she said this, the girl slowly stood up and came to stand in front of Aize.

Aize's gaze involuntarily fell on the other person.

no way.

Those long, iridescent hairs that swirled like flames and those bright, shimmering blue-white eyes—that fearsome appearance that had been passed down through generations—Aize had only recently seen in Akina's mental world.

A vampire with a face as beautiful as a fairy, a girl nicknamed "Sleeping Beauty" because of her beauty—Aurora Florestina.

"Is it a fake?"

Aize made this judgment easily the moment he saw the other party.

"What makes you say that?" The fairy-like girl raised an eyebrow and said, "Just because I have this appearance, does that mean I must be an imposter?"

"You should know that there have been as many as twelve people who have had this appearance."

The girl's implication was that since they already had twelve, what harm would it do to have one more?

So, on what basis can we say she's a fake?

“Isn’t it obvious?” Aize said calmly, “During the Feast of Flames, all the girls with this appearance disappeared, including Aurora, who ultimately won and became the Fourth Progenitor.”

This is different from the original work.

In the original work, although Akatsuki Kojou became the ultimate beneficiary of the Flame Banquet and became the Fourth Progenitor, he was not complete.

At that time, only nine familiars were transferred into his body. The remaining three were transferred into Akatsuki Nagisa's body along with the deceased Aurora. Two others remained in the base and were not included in the Flame Banquet ritual.

Therefore, at this point in the original story, Kojou Akatsuki was only an incomplete Fourth Progenitor. He was not only completely unable to control or even summon the familiars within his body, but as the Fourth Progenitor, he was also missing three familiars that he had not retrieved. Although he was called the Fourth Progenitor, in reality, only his magic power reached the Progenitor level, while his strength was far inferior to that of a Progenitor.

But things are different in this world.

Because of Azera, Aurora awoke when she was sent to Itogami Island, and began a three-year-long entanglement with Akatsuki Nagisa, and a three-year-long tug-of-war with the Primordial. As a result, when the Flamelight Banquet was held, the Primordial had already made all the preparations, and the three great Night Empires also sent their base bodies, so that all twelve base bodies could participate in the ceremony.

Ultimately, the Primal absorbed most of the Familiars, which also destroyed most of the Base Bodies. Aurora then joined forces with the remaining Base Bodies to fight back. With the help of Akatsuki Nagisa, who was possessed by the Primal, and the Base Bodies who volunteered to sacrifice themselves, Aurora gained control of all twelve Familiars, absorbed them all into her own body, and sealed the Primal within her own body. In order to completely destroy the Primal, she chose to commit suicide.

In conclusion, all the girls with fairy-like beauty, including Aurora herself, have completely disappeared during the Feast of Flames.

Although Aurora was absorbed into Nagisa Akatsuki's body with the complete power of the Fourth Progenitor, her physical body had already dissipated.

Therefore, there is no longer a girl named Aurora Florestina in this world, and her unparalleled beauty has become a thing of the past.

If that's the case, what else could the girl in front of us be but an imposter?

Besides...

"The First True Ancestor's Forgotten War King's deputy has appeared, and the direct descendant of the Second True Ancestor's Eye of Extinction has also appeared here. If that's the case, how could the Third True Ancestor's Chaos Princess be completely silent?"

Aize gazed at the fairy-like girl and spoke in a detached tone.

"You agree, right? The lord of the Chaos Realm of the Mid-American Night Empire, a legendary figure who leads twenty-seven familiar beasts, possesses countless avatars, and can freely change his appearance."

"A vampire known as the Third True Ancestor, the Chaos Princess..."

"—Gada Kukokan."

Upon hearing this, the fairy-like girl smiled.

Unlike her previous innocent smile, this one was somewhat charming and unrestrained, like a female leopard, full of wildness.

That smile, appearing on that dreamlike beautiful face, seemed rather mismatched.

But just as this thought crossed his mind, Aize discovered that the girl's appearance had undergone a drastic change without him even realizing it.

The long, golden hair that used to reflect iridescent light has changed, turning into a pale green that resembles a gemstone.

The eyes, which had shimmered with a bluish-white light like flames, also disappeared, turning into an emerald color like a deep lake.

She still looks young, but the ethereal, fairy-like quality is gone, replaced by a beautiful face that is both charming and resolute.

It was an exotic beauty reminiscent of a wild female leopard, a face completely different from the fairy girl from before, full of aggression.

This is the true appearance of the Third True Ancestor, the Chaos Princess.

"You've never met me before, yet you were able to instantly recognize my true identity. King of Warcraft, you have a discerning eye."

Jada spoke with admiration, her tone no different from when she was a fairy-like girl, yet with an indescribable air of dominance within it. Unlike Iblisbelle's overt arrogance, the girl before her did not give off an air of arrogance, but when she spoke, people would naturally perceive the regal demeanor in her every move and realize the fact that she held a high position.

Aize has seen people like this before, and Luo Hao is the most typical example.

However, Luo Hao is incredibly domineering and assertive, both in appearance and in his heart, while Jia Da's domineering and assertive nature is integrated into her temperament, creating a contradictory feeling of being both outwardly expressive and inwardly reserved.

No one could have imagined that one of the three great vampire progenitors, who had established a Night Empire in this world and was feared by countless people, would appear on Itogami Island and in front of Aize.

This guy is far more terrifying than Vatra, Yalador, Iblisbell, and others. If the people in the artificial island management commune knew that he had come to Itogami Island, they would probably be trembling with fear.
This is no different from a natural disaster suddenly falling on Itogami Island.

If this were in the world of Godslayer, it would be like the Demon King suddenly descending from the sky and entering their country. One can only imagine how terrified the rulers would be.

However, the person standing before this True Ancestor, though not a king of any magical beast, was a genuine god-slayer and a true demon king.

"I won't ask you why you're here."

Aize looked at Jiada as if she were looking at an insignificant person who was showing off in front of her. She pointed to Xiaonagisa, who was standing to the side with her eyes closed and not moving, and said something.

"I'm only asking you, what did you do to her?"

Aize had already gleaned some clues about why Jada had come to Itogami Island from the attitudes of Arlador and Iblisbelle.

It's nothing more than the three True Ancestors being bored and concerned about this sudden variable, so they took steps to contact him and test his abilities and attitude.

They may also represent the Sanctuary Treaty Authority and its member states, hoping to use this opportunity to confirm their position and whether they will have an impact on the world order.

Of course, the most important reason is that they became interested in themselves, were looking forward to whether there were any life forms in the world that could surpass them, and were curious about the mythical era before their birth, which led to their actions today.

The difference lies in the fact that the First True Ancestor, the Forgotten War King, as the initiator of the Holy Domain Treaty, could not break the peace on his own initiative, so he only sent his deputy. The Second True Ancestor, the Eye of Extinction, disliked going out, so he sent his own offspring. Only the Third True Ancestor, the Chaos Princess, personally took action and made the most subtle moves.

Excluding the potential impact of Nangong Nayue, and even kidnapping Xiaonagisa, all of these were preparations made for this meeting at this moment.

Although Aize could understand these things, he didn't care about them at all.

There is only one thing he cares about.

That is, what exactly happened to Akatsuki Nagisa?

"Don't worry." Jiada naturally saw this and praised Aize's magnanimity while saying, "She's fine, at least for now."

“I think so too,” Aize said calmly. “Everything’s fine now, but if we keep releasing magic like this, something bad will happen sooner or later, won’t it?”

“It’s something we can’t help,” Jada said matter-of-factly. “Even though she is an extremely talented priestess, how could someone who merely serves the gods possibly raise a soul within her body specifically for killing gods without any harm?”

“The current Aurora Florestina is a complete god-slaying weapon, a complete Fourth Progenitor. Even though she has lost her physical body, she has already obtained all the blood memories of the Fourth Progenitor and can generate a massive amount of magic power comparable to a dragon vein. In addition, she has twelve Star Familiars at her disposal. Do you know what that means?”

"This means that the girl is wielding the power to kill a god in a human body. How could she not be cursed?"

Even the god-slayers, upon gaining divine power, undergo a complete physical transformation, becoming inhuman god-slaying beasts, which allows them to wield power comparable to that of gods without harm.

However, Akatsuki Nagisa, while still alive as a human, absorbed this power into her body and continued to release it outwards.

Just think about it, even a professional spirit medium like Kiyoshuin Ena would become a cripple who couldn't move for a week after being possessed by a god, and even if she was possessed by a god, she could only exert a portion of the god's power. So how could Akatsuki Nagisa, even if she was the highest-level spirit medium, possibly use the power to kill gods without restraint?

Her body did not collapse, and her spirit did not perish; this was already the result of Aurora's best efforts to restrain and protect her.

However, the situation is different now.

Under Jada's control, one of the Fourth Progenitor's safety mechanisms, the Freeze Mode, was activated.

In the frozen state, Aurora, as the Fourth Progenitor, has completely fallen into a dormant state and can no longer restrain herself or conserve her power.

Now, this powerful force has been fully awakened within Akatsuki Nagisa's body under the control of Jada, the one who initiated the frozen mode.

The current Akatsuki Nagisa is a complete god-slaying weapon, the Fourth Progenitor without a self.

The inevitable result of this is self-destruction.

At least, Aize could already hear the screams and wails coming from Akatsuki Nagisa's body.

The person responsible for all of this is the Third True Ancestor right before our eyes.

Aize's eyes were already filled with murderous intent as he looked at Jiada.

"Hmm, this murderous aura..."

Jiada felt the stinging sensation of needles all over her body.

Aize is not a bloodthirsty person, but as a Shinigami, he has slain countless Hollows, and as a Godslayer, he has killed no fewer than ten gods. He is a true Godslayer, a being who kills gods.

If the Fourth Progenitor is merely a god-slaying weapon artificially created for the purpose of killing gods, then Aize is an existence that has already accomplished this great feat and achieved such an accomplishment.

Once his killing intent is released, even a True Ancestor would be affected.

But this did not deter Jada; instead, it brought joy and fighting spirit to her eyes.

“You value this girl highly, Beast King,” Jada said cheerfully. “Then my decision to use her as a breakthrough point was the right one.”

Only in this way would the man in front of her take it seriously; that was what Jiada thought.

"Alright, the main event is about to begin."

A magical storm appeared emanating from Jada, far more powerful than any vampire Aize had ever encountered, even comparable to that of Akatsuki Nagisa at this moment.

"Come on, let me test your strength."
