Chapter 1151: Chapter 78: Star Court_2

After all, this wasn’t about saving the Goddess of Wealth; without enough treasure, the Giant Dragons wouldn’t put in that much effort either.

But amid the fierce battle, when Mei Lantong Bo’s host of heavenly Warriors arrived, huge sections of the entire Demon Mountain collapsed. Under countless shocked gazes, Duncan cleaved the Demon Mother before him into two with a single strike, though it was unclear whether he had slain her true body or merely one of Cang Ye’s avatars.

The entire 471st layer of the Bottomless Abyss was undergoing some strange transformation; under the disbelieving gazes of many from the Aici Celestial Race, they seemed to have broken free of the Abyss’s shackles.

"We’re free!..."

"We can go home now!..."

"The Demon Mother was defeated by that hero."

According to the secret agreement Duncan had made with the Demon Mother Cang Ye, fewer than a hundred souls of the Aici Celestial Race were liberated; they now possessed the ability to leave the Bottomless Abyss.

But already, thousands of souls from the Aici Celestial Race had remained in the Bottomless Abyss forever. After death, once they were transformed into demons, those celestial souls could never go back.

A shining, sacred portal flared open.

Above Mei Lantong Bo, an exceptionally handsome figure appeared—Filiniel, the current consort of the Star Queen. His expression was filled with excitement as he directed the Aici Celestial Race into the portal, shouting, "Children."

"Hurry and get out of here."

After several thousand years, he had finally completed his mission and cleaned up the mess left by his predecessor.

At Filiniel’s side stood a beautiful woman brimming with Wildness and strength—one of the Star Queen’s spouses, Gwenhaviw, "Fury of the Whirlwind," a wild celestial Warrior.

As the Star Queen’s female consort, when she was not leading the Aici Celestial Race in their eternal battle against the forces of evil, she would meticulously serve Queen Movir, satisfying her every desire.

Chaotic Good, unrestrained in Wildness—let’s just say their playstyle was extremely flamboyant.

The Star Queen had countless lovers and was very much into both men and women; at present, the one she favored most was this wild Gwenhaviw.

A host of heavenly Warriors received the "gravely wounded" Duncan. At this moment, the Demon Legion beneath Mother Mountain also surged out in full force, but the Aici Celestial Race who came to respond had already arrived. Under Gwenhaviw’s command, a band of wild heavenly Warriors successfully intercepted them.

——Filiniel, Royal Consort (Challenge Rating 29) (Eight-star, silver-gray).

——Gwenhaviw (Challenge Rating 26) (Seven-star, gold).

Both of them possessed power close to that of a Demon Lord. Outside the Bottomless Abyss, they could easily defeat a Demon Lord’s avatar, but within the Abyss, even Gwenhaviw had once been captured by Di Maoge Gen.

Yet just as Di Maoge Gen and his allies were discussing how best to humiliate, torment, and execute her, the Star Queen sent people to rescue her.

Despite sharing the same eight-star Mark, Filiniel likely wasn’t a match for Witch Queen Egger Vulfu.

——Time Stop!

Filiniel had an appearance close to that of an elf. He was a fey-type being, born with astonishing Charm, and could cast spells much like a Warlock.

A 9th-circle Time Stop stabilized the situation, buying time for the others.

The next second, Filiniel locked onto the nearest Demon Army; his stunning beauty turned into a kind of instant-death effect, directly killing a large number of nearby mid- and low-tier demons.

Legend had it the Star Queen possessed a strange ability called "Stunning Absolute Beauty." She could force a Legendary will save on any non–Aici Celestial being nearby who saw her face; if they failed, they would die instantly.

This was essentially a weakened version of the same trick used by the Goddess of Love Shunni, for Shunni could also inflict instant death on those who laid eyes upon her.

A resplendent lightsaber materialized.

Royal Consort Filiniel led the Aici Celestial Warriors in a valiant slaughter of the enemy, while Gwenhaviw swiftly moved to support the "gravely wounded" Duncan, directly escorting him and the surviving members of the Aici Celestial Race into the portal leading to the Star Court.

Without the Star Queen’s permission, no one else could ever reach this special realm.

One figure after another vanished.

After the last surviving member of the Aici Celestial Race withdrew, Royal Consort Filiniel excitedly cast a 9th-circle "Radiant Glory," then slipped into the portal without hesitation, disappearing from the Bottomless Abyss.

Several thousand years had passed.

The Star Court had finally rescued those poor children who’d been trapped.

Dimension Space.

Projection Page.

Once Duncan’s figure was sent into the portal by the wildly charming Gwenhaviw, the location shown on the Projection Page also changed, shifting from the Bottomless Abyss to the "Star Court" (demiplane).

"Alert!"

"You have entered the special demiplane realm—Star Court."

The Star Court’s course drifted like a leaf on water, its whereabouts impossible to pin down. Only when the ruler of the Aici Celestial Race, the Star Queen Movir herself, gave permission could outsiders ever come into contact with it.

The entrance to the Star Court could appear in many different places.

Without Queen Movir’s personal consent, no power could open or close any gateway leading to the Star Court.

Duncan’s ability to come and go was restricted to some extent, for this was a special sealed realm.

"Alert."

"Anomalies in the Time Law detected."

"Within the Star Court, you will not age; there is no concept of age, nor will you feel hunger or thirst."

The Aici Celestial Race here could eat, drink, and sleep, but that was purely for the enjoyment of life’s pleasures.

Duncan’s first thought was of Tyr Nano from Celtic legend.

"Welcome to the Star Court!"
