Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 1108 Will There Be Anything Won’t Happen?
The Armed Goddess slashed the Dark Witch Caraboss with a sword, knocking her several kilometers away. Seeing this scene, everyone on Yunjingkong Island was refreshed, because this was the first time they had gained an advantage in the battle with the Witch Society and the witches. Although everyone knew that this sword could not completely defeat the opponent, even if it only left a tiny wound, it was enough to prove that the Witch Society was not invincible. This sword gave everyone hope of victory.

In fact, the scars left by the blade of the Armed Goddess on Carabosse were far deeper than they had imagined.

Driven by the huge kinetic energy of the sword, the figure, which seemed insignificant compared to the huge body of the Armed Goddess, finally stopped after flying several kilometers deeper into the dark sea. In the path she passed, the darkness was like waves split by the sword wind, and like fog rolled up by the air current, constantly surging and roaring, giving people the illusion that the evil beast in the fog was baring its fangs and claws, until it gradually subsided after a few seconds. Carabosse's figure reappeared in everyone's sight. Her expression was still calm, without any sign of wavering, but her face seemed to have lost some color. At her waist, a hideous wound tore the soft cloth, revealing horrible flesh and bones, but what gushed out was not blood, but the invisible gray mist.

Or to put it more accurately, when they are still flowing in the witch's body, they are indeed blood; but once they leave the witch's body, they will change into another form, a more essential form - is this the special feature of the dark witch, or the common feature of all the young royal powers? Ling Ge is not sure, because he has never seen other young royal powers bleeding. In his impression, every battle with the witch society is very fierce, but the strange thing is that no young royal power has been injured and bleeding.

The mist surrounded the wound, like a thorn in the flesh, entangled endlessly. A white and graceful hand passed through the gray mist and gently pressed on the wound on the waist, stopping the continued loss of the substance that was not sure whether it should be called blood. The dark witch slowly raised her head and stared at the Armed Goddess in the distance. Her pale and thin lips moved, and the voice was very light and thin, but it echoed coldly throughout the battlefield: "Why——"

"Why don't you press on to win?" she asked coldly.

"what?"

Alice thought she would say something that fits the character of a villain, such as "Nothing special" or "Only in this way can you be my opponent", but she actually questioned him as soon as she opened her mouth. This annoyed the genius player. She certainly had her own reasons for not pursuing him: "Who knows what conspiracy you have up your sleeve? I won't be fooled easily!"

Although the rhythm of the battle was under her control, Alice did not believe that the Dark Witch was a weakling who would only retreat. She must have some means of counterattack, waiting for the moment when she underestimated the enemy. This made the genius player always maintain a high level of vigilance in the battle, and Carabosse's reaction seemed to prove this point: If she was not secretly planning a counterattack, why would she expect her opponent to pursue the victory? Would anyone be happy to be chased and beaten?

You still underestimate me, Carabosse!
Alice was feeling proud, but also became more cautious. She controlled the Armed Goddess, crossed her swords in front of her, and slowly approached the injured Dark Witch in a defensive posture. She wanted to test the opponent's tactics to decide the next battle strategy.

"I see." A hint of recognition flashed across the witch's cold eyes. "Being cautious is a style, but it may also make you miss a good opportunity. There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in the world."

The last sentence seemed more like it was spoken to myself.

"And," she added, "what you just said was really childish."

"Love, justice and courage? Even Favrona and Fei'er would no longer say such childish words, and Lilith and Leticia--" She suddenly paused, as if she didn't know how to continue. But if there was no abrupt pause, the next sentence Alice and others would hear would be: "And Lilith and Leticia no longer believe in such innocent fairy tales."

But the sensitive name mentioned in this sentence is looking at him with anger or hatred on Yunjingkong Island.

Pointless.

She said to herself that everything was meaningless. There was no point in thinking about the past, and there was no point in dwelling on the present. For her and the path she had chosen, only the future was meaningful. No matter if it was the future she wanted, the future that Tiantis wanted, or the future that Alice and the others wanted, the assassins were still empty fantasies. Only by fighting, and having to fight, would that future become a reality.

Besides, wasn't it me who made Favrona and Fei'er face reality, and made Lilisti and Leticia... and even other sisters in the past completely stop believing in fairy tales?
She suddenly lost interest.

Alice didn't know what she was thinking about, nor was she interested in knowing. Instead, she was very dissatisfied with the previous remarks: "Childish? I think you don't understand the essence of super robots at all. A villain boss like you will be obedient after being corrected by me!"

"Villain?"

Carabosse shook her head. "Although I really want to say that this is also a childish statement, it is boring to talk too much about things that have nothing to do with battle. Let's talk about the results. You have this power, but are you really ready to fight, Alice? This will be a question you cannot avoid."

“I never thought of avoiding it!”

Alice snorted in dissatisfaction and subconsciously sped up. She didn't want to continue the verbal battle with the villain BOSS. Generally speaking, this was the part she hated the most when playing RPG games, and she stubbornly believed that it was also the most meaningless part. The wing suit engine started again, and under the steel sword wings, countless radiating star flames gathered together to form a huge jet thousands of yards long, pushing the body forward rapidly. A pair of cold and graceful blade feet seemed to glide on the ice, agile and elegant.

At the appropriate distance, the Armed Goddess once again raised her two swords, one in front and one behind, with the height of the blades at eye level, just like a swordsman posing her best starting position. This posture ensures that she can observe any subtle movement of the enemy and respond quickly, with the error possibly less than 0.01 milliseconds. For the Armed Goddess, the sword is an extension of her will; for Alice, the mecha is also an extension of her will. She does not need to rely on an elite operating team, a complete industrial system, and huge computing data to ensure its operation like the constructed mecha of the cult alliance. She controls it with her heart, which is the advantage of super robots.

Looking at the enemy machine approaching fiercely, Carabosse did not panic at all. She still used her left hand to gently press the wound on her waist, and slowly raised her right hand to cover her left eye: "Black moon, black night, darkness, this is the eternal destination of all living things."

She raised her head and stared at the huge vortex of the nebula. It was still spinning, stirring the tides of starlight, but not a single starlight could enter this dark ocean. Anything that was given meaning such as light, brightness and warmth would be annihilated the moment it approached her, as if swallowed by an invisible beast, because this was her domain and this was her power.

The deep and profound tone echoes in every corner of the universe: "In the endless night, you who are restless, look up at the stars and the moon above your head, and feel the silence and tranquility of your soul."

As soon as she finished speaking, a dark beam of light suddenly burst out from her right eye and shot up into the sky.

"Death Star, Dark Apocalypse."

……

In the Fairy Deep Sleep Inn, Sister Livia, who was comforting Mr. Rabbit and the magic plants, suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and a look of shock and panic gradually emerged in her gentle eyes, just like a drowning person who thought he had reached the shore, but finally found that he was holding on to a piece of reeds in the swamp, and one day he would slowly sink to the bottom of the valley. Her teeth were chattering, making a frightening clicking sound; her body temperature was cooling, but sweat oozed from her forehead and back; her blood was freezing, as if she was naked and exposed in a world of ice and snow. No matter how long it had been, she could never forget the scene of that day, and how the dark witch Carabosse used this trick to easily crush the power of the Holy Son Gabrielvia, causing her to taste a complete defeat.

She knew, she had always known, that the power of the witch had never gone away and was always by her side, because she was not any other tangible enemy that could be avoided, but - darkness.

The darkness came without warning, just as it had always been there, in the world that everyone could see when they closed their eyes.

The light from the outside world was extinguished, the flames in the oil lamps were blown out, the light from the potted chandelier was swallowed up, and even every object that could illuminate, reflect or refract light was silently swept away by the tide of darkness. People were in a trance for a moment, and they could no longer see anything clearly. The magic potted plants were frightened and screamed, and Mr. Rabbit was anxious to run around. In the darkness, there were constant sounds of tables, chairs and tea sets being knocked to the ground. The stone guards who had been guarding the door of the hotel also lost their composure at this time. Before understanding what was happening, their simple brains first understood the meaning of panic and fear. Whether it was the magic potted plants or the stone guards, these creatures did not rely on the naked eye to distinguish vision, but the loss of light caused them the same blow, because for all life with vision, seeing is equal to living; and being blind is tantamount to death.

As the person left behind to appease the rear, Sister Livia should have stepped forward to maintain order, but she sadly found that she couldn't do it. Apart from the groaning with chattering teeth, she couldn't make any sound, as if if she made a sound, the witch would find her location and deprive her of her eternal light.

It shouldn't be like this...

No, please...

No matter who it is, please help me... No, please save me...

"Everyone!" The kitchen door was pushed open with a clang, and the anxious voice of the pink-haired little girl echoed in the hall: "Are you okay? Calm down, sit in your seats and don't run around! Ah, Sister Livia, you look so pale, wait, I'll pour you a cup of hot water!"

With her efforts, and the help of Leticia and Shemi, order was quickly restored in the hotel. Although everyone was still a little panicked, they felt more or less calm after hearing Metien's voice.

really weird.

It was a darkness that could cover even the human heart, but that little girl seemed to be able to see everything. Even the traveling fairies and vampires who followed her had the ability to ignore the darkness.

Of course.

Sister Livia thought with both relief and joy: After all, she is the Holy Spirit of the Goddess.

……

It was as if a thousand stars were extinguished at the same time, the nebula was swallowed by a huge beast, and there was no light in the universe. If you were to observe this scene of thousands of stars extinguished in the dark night of the mirror star, it would be extremely shocking, and it would probably become an unsolvable mystery in the history of astronomy. But for those who were in it, there was no philosophical expression, they just simply felt... darkness.

All you can feel in the darkness is darkness.

On the rooftop of the windmill tower, when the change occurred, Ling Ge was stunned for just a moment, but soon reacted and turned back to the angel lady who was still holding him and said, "Yieta, I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. You stay here and don't move or be afraid. Just continue to control the Cloud Whale Sky Island and move forward in the direction I just indicated. I will let Miss Shesta and Miss Shelia accompany you!"

In order to comfort the timid Yieta, he reached out and stroked her hair, which was as soft as feathers: "It's okay, don't worry, it's absolutely okay."

Strangely, Yieta wasn't really scared. She was just a little worried. She wasn't even worried about herself, but about the young man in front of her: "Where are you going, Lingge? It's too dark. I can't see anywhere. Something might happen!"

"Someone needs my help." Linger said, gently breaking away from Yieta's hand: "Trust me, Yieta. And——"

He added: "And believe in Alice."

I believe that talented players can find a way to fight against the Dark Witch. She will never let this darkness last too long.

Yieta did not continue to persuade, but nodded gently and firmly: "Well, you have to be careful, Lingge."

But Lingge had already rushed down, and I wonder if he heard this. He was running so fast, it was like he was running. Who dared to run in such a dark place? Any step, a shallow pit, a stone, or a tree branch could cause him to break his head and bleed. But the young man didn't care about these things. His familiarity with Yunjingkong Island came into play at this time. He had almost walked every inch of the island in his spare time, and he knew Yunjingkong Island better than its owner Yieta.

Where to go, where to turn, where to take a shortcut, where the affected battlefield is... He couldn't see it with his naked eyes, but his heart saw it clearly. Perhaps this was what Alice said, the essence of a super robot.

Faster. He thought: Faster still.

otherwise.

It will be too late.

Give me some meow
