Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

However, Eva's silver mirror was completed at this moment.

The entire area in front of the villa in the east of the city was covered by a silver halo.

Countless mirrors emerged from the void, each different in size, angle, and arrangement, like a silver petal scattered in space.

The moment the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body collided with the silver light screen, it was bounced back as if it had hit a layer of water-soaked silk.

He roared and punched the mirror with all his might. Dark blue divine power exploded on his fist, causing the silver mirror at the front to crack.

However, under the dual blockade of Qian Renxue's golden holy flames and Eva's silver aura, his advance was forcibly slowed down.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's charge was finally completely halted.

He hovered between the two women, his chest heaving violently, his divine power already depleted by more than 30%.

His golden eyes churned with extremely complex emotions: anxiety, resentment, and a cold, resolute determination after being repeatedly thwarted.

He was preparing to retreat.

If he doesn't leave now, he might really be stuck here. With the two gods working together to block him, he has no chance of breaking through.

Staying here and continuing to waste his energy will only put him in an even more passive situation.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King glanced deeply in the direction of the villa in the east of the city, sensing the rising aura of the sea god, and then his figure suddenly rushed backward.

His retreat route was chosen with extreme decisiveness, heading straight for a direction far from the battlefield and far from Brightmoon City, a route leading to the sea.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King retreated extremely quickly, so quickly that its dark blue divine power left a long, thin trail in the twilight, like a lit fuse rapidly extending into the distance.

Qian Renxue slightly raised the golden longsword in her hand, and holy flames rose around her.

Just as Qian Renxue was about to pursue the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a dark purple light, like a venomous snake that had been lying in wait, accurately pierced out from the void and went straight for Eva's back.

The time that Bibi Dong had been waiting for had finally arrived.

The moment the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was repelled, Eva's attention would inevitably be momentarily distracted, and even a single breath would be enough for her to complete the attack.

Dark purple divine power condensed into a slender energy blade, its edges wrapped with black patterns that surged like resentment. Silently cutting through the air, it pierced straight towards Eva's back at a speed beyond the limits of mortal perception.

Qian Renxue caught sight of the dark purple light out of the corner of her eye the moment it appeared.

Her pupils contracted sharply, and the indifference covered by golden divine power shattered like glass broken by a heavy hammer, revealing the astonishment beneath.

"careful!"

Her voice pierced through the twilight and the wind, carrying a urgency and panic rarely seen in her voice.

Qian Renxue's figure had already turned around the moment she finished speaking.

She abandoned the route of pursuing the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and instead intercepted Bibi Dong's sneak attack from the opposite direction.

However, just as the dark purple energy blade was about to pierce Eva's back, a very faint smile slowly curved the corners of Eva's lips.

Chapter 599 Encirclement

Just before the dark purple energy blade touched her back, Eva's figure shattered silently, like a reflection in water scattered by the wind.

Instead, a silver halo suddenly spread out.

The silver halo resembled a giant silver flower blooming in the twilight, its petals shimmering with a fine luster as it rapidly spread in all directions.

The light was not dazzling, but it had a cool, moonlit quality, and the moment it touched the surrounding space, it began to penetrate, permeate, and cover every corner.

Bibi Dong sensed something amiss the moment the silver halo touched her.

The dark purple energy blade she thrust out was still suspended in mid-air, only three inches from where Eva had disappeared, but the force that was continuing to advance seemed to have hit an invisible thick wall, and silently stopped in the void.

Immediately afterwards, a bone-chilling cold surged in from all directions at the same time.

The chill was unlike any other low temperature.

It seemed to emanate from the very foundation of space, carrying a chilling force that directly impacted the soul, as if an invisible hand was slowly freezing the surrounding air layer by layer.

Bibi Dong felt her movements being slowed down by the chill.

Her arms, her fingertips, and the dark purple divine power flowing through her meridians all seemed to have been injected with a viscous slowing agent, requiring several times more effort than usual to activate each one.

Then, she saw snow.

Tiny ice crystals drifted silently down from the sky, like stardust scattered by the wind, each piece shimmering with a faint blue light in the twilight.

The ice crystals did not fall from the clouds, but condensed directly in the air, as if the temperature of the entire space had been lowered to below freezing point at the same moment.

Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly contracted.

She saw the figure slowly walking out of the void.

The Ice Queen wore a long, ice-blue dress, the hem of which trailed in the air like a frozen waterfall, and she was surrounded by an extremely dense ice-blue halo.

The halo radiated outwards from her center, overlapping and merging with Eva's silver halo at the edges, enveloping the entire space in a cool hue between silver-white and ice-blue.

Her face was as exquisite as an ice sculpture sculpted by extreme cold, and her deep blue eyes were calm and still, yet they carried a heavy feeling as if the ice and snow of the entire far north were slowly tilting behind her.

Her gaze swept over Bibi Dong's face, which was slightly tense with astonishment, and then landed on the space behind her that was being covered by a silver halo.

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, and dark purple divine power surged wildly within her body.

She was trapped.

The moment her senses were enveloped by the silver halo, she found that she could no longer perceive any space outside of Bright Moon City.

Those boundaries that once existed in her perception, those retreat routes that she could lock at any time, have all been separated by an invisible barrier.

The silhouette of the nine-colored deer silently emerged from the other side of the twilight.

Today she has taken human form, wearing a plain white dress that shimmers with nine-colored light, her face gentle yet carrying a sense of weightiness like the earth itself.

The nine-colored halo surrounding her resembled a rainbow compressed to its extreme, slowly rotating behind her.

Her appearance came without any warning, as if she had always been standing there, but had never been noticed.

Three deities, three directions.

Eva is in the west, the Ice Queen is in the north, the Nine-Colored Deer is in the south, and the eastern side is the Bright Moon City itself, an area covered by layers of rules of beauty.

Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were trapped in the space where silver and ice-blue halos alternated, like moths caught in a spider web.

Qian Renxue stood at the edge of the area covered by the silver halo, her golden wings slightly folded behind her. Her hand holding the sword did not loosen, but the holy flame on the sword was dimming at a visible speed.

Her gaze was fixed on Eva, her golden eyes churning with incredibly complex emotions, like a slowly cracking layer of ice, with cracks spreading inward from the edges.

"Eva...you were prepared all along?"

Her voice was a few decibels lower than usual, with a subtle tremor that could not be completely suppressed even after being pressed repeatedly.

It's obvious.

Eva stood in the very center of that silver halo, her emerald eyes calmly meeting Qian Renxue's gaze without avoiding her eyes.

“I did know she was there all along. Bright Moon City is my territory, and no god who sets foot in this land can escape my senses.”

Qian Renxue's fingers tightened slightly on the sword hilt, her knuckles turning white, before slowly relaxing.

Looking at Eva's calm, almost indifferent face, and at the unwavering light in her blue eyes, she suddenly felt as if someone had gently pushed her from behind, making her see things she had always chosen not to look at.

"So my appearance was also part of your plan?"

"Yes," Eva replied without hesitation.

“I need a reason for Bibi Dong to see an opportunity. She won’t attack while I’m fighting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, because she knows that would expose herself. She needs to wait for the right moment, when she thinks I’ve let my guard down and feels she can strike from behind.”

Qian Renxue's eyelids lowered slightly. She didn't press further. She already knew the answer.

In a space where silver and ice-blue halos alternated, Bibi Dong finally moved.

A dark purple light suddenly burst forth from her body, like a dark flame that had been ignited, attempting to dispel the slowly seeping silver halo and icy blue chill from her skin.

The silver halos that were wrapped around her meridians trembled slightly under the impact of the dark purple divine power, but they did not shatter and dissipate as she wished.

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed tightly.

Her gaze swept over Eva, landed on the Ice Queen, and then swept over the gentle yet undeniable face of the Nine-Colored Deer.

Then she laughed.

The smile was cold, like a blade drawn from icy water, its edges gleaming with a chilling luster.

"Three deities, what a grand display."

Her voice was not loud, but it clearly pierced through the flowing silver halo and icy blue chill, reaching the ears of every deity present.

"It seems you planned this all along, deliberately setting a trap for me here."

Eva neither denied nor admitted it.

She merely turned her head slightly, her gaze shifting from Bibi Dong for a moment, as if confirming the direction of the villa in the east of the city.

The crimson-gold light of the sea god continued to rise, like a lighthouse slowly being filled. Ariel's legacy continued.

"Since Your Holiness the Pope is already here, why don't you stay here?" Eva's voice returned to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong chuckled. She said no more. Dark purple resentment surged from her body like a burst dam, rushing towards Eva.

That power carried the resentment and corrosive force unique to the Rakshasa God. Wherever it passed, fine black lines began to appear on the edges of the silver mirrors that were suspended in the air, like metal surfaces corroded by acid.

The Snow Queen reacted even faster than her.

At the same instant that dark purple torrent surged forth, she had already raised her right hand.

The ice crystals that were slowly falling in the air suddenly accelerated at that moment, as if injected with a new force, changing from a scattered state to a rapidly spinning vortex, heading towards the dark purple torrent.

The icy blue halo and the dark purple resentment collided silently in mid-air.

There was no loud noise, no explosion.

The two forces silently merged, squeezed, and annihilated at the contact surface, like the diffusion process of a drop of ink falling into clear water being slowed down countless times. The dark purple patterns spread slowly like ink threads in the ice-blue halo, and were covered by layer after layer of newly formed ice crystals.

The nine-colored deer moved at the same moment.

Her figure appeared silently, like ripples on water touched by the wind, slightly behind Bibi Dong. She raised her right hand, and a warm, nine-colored light emanated from her palm, precisely covering Bibi Dong's feet.

The moment the nine-colored light touched Bibi Dong's body, the edge of the continuously rising dark purple resentment was enveloped by a warm halo.

Like the white steam rising from a raging fire immersed in water, the black patterns that were originally spreading rapidly became much slower under the influence of the nine-colored light.

Bibi Dong felt that the flow of her divine power was being suppressed by two completely different forces at the same time.
