Inside the narrow corridor, the sound of black short heels continually and rhythmically tapped on the ground. The red-haired girl humd a tune cheerfully, a skeletal-print pistol spinning around her fingertips before settling on her wrist.
"Yesterday, Tifa rushed onto the stage, stamring and unable to say a word clearly. Did she forget to even review the script once?"
"Chiyu Witch, indeed, she perford exactly like her character, playing herself."
"Ruebena is in real trouble, defying that director. I’ve heard she’s notoriously eccentric in the industry."
"What are you chatting about, so happily?" March squinted with a smile as she spoke.
The sudden voice startled the two staff mbers, who straightened up and looked toward the smiling red-haired girl.
"Director March, no... nothing. We were just, just passing by. What a coincidence. Where are you headed?"
These staff mbers had no expression on their faces—strictly speaking, they had no features—but their embarrassnt was palpable.
It’s the sa with those around March; the entire world except for her is composed of faceless, expressionless beings whom she couldn’t see nor cared about their joys or sorrows.
As long as these people were willing to act according to her script.
But it’s just a tad dull.
"Your outfit, this is?"
"Let think." March pondered as she pointed the gun barrel at her chin, "I plan to go to the filming studio and take a look at the script my dear writer submitted this ti."
"About the script for the final scene of the Unauthorized Battle visit."
"Alright, go busy yourselves now."
March waved her hand and continued walking forward.
After she left, ’click-clack’ sounds emanated from the two staff mbers, their necks crooked to one side.
A few seconds later, two short-limbed red alder dolls lay on the ground.
...
The scene of the finals.
In the millions of expectant eyes, the ten people on stage transford into pillars of light and vanished simultaneously.
"Welco back to the Eternal Tower."
Amidst the unclear light and darkness, the system’s cold broadcast echoed overhead.
Flowing data ford formations in the air, constructing the grand interior scenery.
Xu Xiaoyou opened her eyes and realized they had arrived at a circular platform.
This circular platform was ascending swiftly along the tower’s body, the tower’s scenery flying past its sides, fractured light pouring from the do, casting reflections on every face.
"Final rules: Unlimited Attack!"
"The platform will reach the tower top in five minutes."
"Any form of attack will earn points, and as the platform reaches the top, the finals will end imdiately, and the side with the higher score will win and seize the Key at the tower top!"
Upon hearing the word ’Key’, everyone—be it those from Light Chasing Garden, Queen’s Armant, or all the finals’ spectators—was slightly aghast, countless people showing an intense, eager expression.
"Five minutes of unlimited attack..." Xu Xiaoyou listened to the system’s broadcasted ga rules and sensed sothing was amiss.
The start of the match ca faster than she expected; in just a fleeting mont, Evergreen Ivy sidestepped and charged straight towards her.
"Don’t forget, this guy is really troubleso." Bai Youyou lifted the Heavy Hamr to remind Angelina beside her.
"Better take care of yourself first."
Angelina imdiately unleashed "Crow Slaying Ash Armor," spun the lance, and leaped out ters ahead.
Black, nightmare-like aura surged, as fiery wings crystallized on her back.
"Angelina." Xu Xiaoyou called out to remind her.
Yet the girl seed not to hear, clashing head-on with Evergreen Ivy, at the mont when black-and-white Lance t with the Heavy Sword, it shattered, faced with Angelina’s slightly stunned expression, Evergreen Ivy crushed her own heart, releasing "Death Knight Ghost Armor."
Weaponless, Angelina’s chest was pierced, endless deathly aura akin to parasites consuming her body and wings, the silver-haired girl slowly engulfed by flas, turning into a vanishing remnant.
"With just one face-off, contestant Angelina was eliminated by God of Killing Changqing!"
The comntator shouted excitedly.
As if not noticing Angelina’s elimination, those from Light Chasing Garden showed little change on their faces, Bai Youyou wielded the Heavy Hamr and forced Evergreen Ivy back.
Sothing’s wrong...
Xu Xiaoyou surveyed this entire scene, a strong unreal feeling erged from her heart.
Tang Xin added buffs to Bai Youyou but failed to notice a bizarrely vivid rose blossoming slowly behind her.
In that mont, ti froze, Xu Xiaoyou noticed Ever watching her with unusual calm, that expression solemn and dignified as if attending a funeral.
Previous scenes once again surged through her mind, the distant chamber deep within, the five guarding the throne, Jian Liu’s cold chanical words resounded in her ears again.
"So people’s stories truly begin once they’re gone."
"I said, she’s rely veiled by dust, as Starry Singer, she was born a Yaoxing."
"See you in the Golden Era, Miss Xu."
Ever swung her hand, and with a swift red shadow, Tang Xin was engulfed.
Tang Xin’s face showed cracks, and in just a blink, those cracks spread over her entire body, her figure shattering like a reflection in water, never to reunite.
It was so unreal, remote, and beyond reach.
By the fifth second of the match, Light Chasing Garden had already lost two mbers.
