Libra arrived outside the Prince's residence.
Those strangers who suddenly appeared just now clearly had ulterior motives.
He was wondering whether he should continue to "eat" the prince.
"Great, we're going to have new friends!"
I hope he will be an easy person to get along with.
"Shouldn't nobles all be polite?"
"Friend, it's delicious! I love it!"
"Stop dawdling and get inside!"
"..."
Libra ignored the noise.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to contact Aquarius first.
Aquarius, shirtless, closes his eyes and basks in the moonlight.
The wound on his back was so deep that his spine was visible, and one side of the ice pick was almost buried in his Flesh and Blood.
A crystalline red color radiated outwards from her feet, staining most of the frost in the room crimson.
Aquarius's body radiates a faint silver glow, and its breathing is rhythmic.
thump thump thump--
A knock suddenly sounded on the door.
Aquarius opened his eyes, which were filled with shimmering silver moonlight.
The frost in the room and the hanging ice hammer vanished instantly, and the wound on his back healed in a flash.
With a slight shake of her arms, her long dress covered her body.
Once the moonlight faded from her eyes, she returned to her gentle and graceful self, as serene as water.
"Come in."
A maid pushed open the door and entered.
With his back to her, the Aquarius asked, "Is everything taken care of?"
The maid replied, "I'm outside the Prince's gate. There's something I think I should tell you."
"On my way there, I encountered a group of martial artists with an average strength of level four, as well as a Level Seven Martial Artist."
"They are clearly not from this world."
Upon hearing this, Aquarius frowned. "Too smooth sailing, as expected, nothing good comes of it."
The maid continued, "I suspect it's that Preacher from last time, and he's brought some helpers with him."
Aquarius scoffed, "You have no manners! Don't you know anything about first come, first served?"
The maid asked, "So what do we do now? It's very likely they killed the Empress, deliberately disrupting our plans to force us to reveal ourselves."
"Just to be on the safe side, let's make our move."
Aquarius said calmly, "It's too late."
If she had plenty of time, she could preach at her own pace and wouldn't need such a complicated plan.
But she didn't; she could only stay in this world for another ten days or so before she had to go back.
She didn't want to go back with only a meager Power of Faith; she had to pull off something big.
The maid said, "We don't even know how many of them there are or what their strength is. We won't gain anything by fighting them head-on."
Aquarius, however, held the opposite view. She opened her palm, and countless ice crystals gathered in one place, constantly changing into various shapes.
"We don't know them, and they don't know us either, otherwise they wouldn't have used the killing of the Queen as a way to lure us."
The Empress's death was shrouded in mystery from beginning to end, but now the reason has finally been found.
"Since they want to have a showdown, then let them have it."
The maid asked, "So?"
Aquarius shattered the ice in his hand. "Proceed as planned, the wedding will be held in three days."
Upon hearing this answer, the maid sighed and turned to leave the room.
The prince was fast asleep in bed.
In my dream, he suddenly appeared above the Sea of Glaze.
The surging waves seemed poised to engulf him at any moment.
Rumble--
Accompanied by bursts of lightning and thunder, the sky quickly darkened, and large raindrops poured incessantly onto the sea.
At that moment, the prince felt like a piece of duckweed, fearful, weak, and helpless.
"Ah~ Ahh~"
Suddenly, countless siren-like humming and high-pitched chants rose up all around.
The current environment adds to the eeriness.
The prince couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"Damn, you're singing off-key, shut up."
"What are you barking about, you dog? I used to be a top singer! It's an honor for you to perform on the same stage as me!"
"Can't we even play this game anymore? You can't even sing the background music properly, I'm really fed up with you bunch of terrible teammates."
"Right now, I'm the only one putting in the effort; without me, this company would fall apart."
"..."
The prince was taken aback.
The siren seem to be fighting.
"Damn it, all of you shut up!"
A furious roar echoed through the sky, and the sirens fell silent immediately.
The prince trembled and knelt on the ground with a thud.
"The sea... the sea god above!"
He had never seen such a terrifying scene before; his SAN value plummeted.
One of the sirens said, "Is it really necessary to be so cautious about just a Level Four Spirit?"
"Don't scare him! If you scare him to death, he'll be gone!"
The prince trembled, unable to understand the siren's words.
The furious voice continued to echo, "I will judge your sinful soul."
" The Scales of Judgment will weigh the goodness within your soul."
The prince saw the seawater beneath him suddenly boil, and a huge scale rose from the sea, with the prince sitting on a tray to one side.
"Whether you are an angel walking among mortals or a demon who has escaped from hell, the Scales of Judgment will decide."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sacred feather landed on the other side of the scales.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the scales remained balanced.
However, the next second, the tray he was on suddenly tilted high into the air.
The furious voice from before said, "Your kindness isn't even worth a feather."
The prince looked terrified. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain something, countless hands suddenly appeared beneath him, frantically tearing at his body.
"Ah--"
"Lord Neptune, I was wrong!"
As large chunks of Flesh and Blood were torn off, the prince was instantly ripped to pieces.
The feather on the scales then transformed into the Libra, and the fragments of the prince turned into streams of light that merged into his body.
"Welcome to our new colleague!"
"Newcomers beware of getting rejected. I've said my piece; the rest is up to you."
"Remember, from now on you are the 861st member of this big family."
"This dog is our elder brother, quickly call him 'senior'."
Woof woof woof!
"..."
The prince found himself surrounded by countless faces, some contorted in rage, others laughing.
Some felt pity, others gloated.
A dog's head squeezed in and kept licking his face, looking extremely happy.
He asked in bewilderment, "Why is Big Brother a dog?"
One voice explained, "Because when that fool Libra awakened his abilities, the first thing he devoured was the spirit of a dog."
"Hahaha! What an idiot! I'll laugh at him for the rest of my life!"
The other faces joined in the laughter.
The prince didn't find anything funny, but he just wanted to laugh.
"Hahaha!"
The prince on the bed opened his eyes, stiffly sat up, and began to move his body.
"I need to get used to my new body again."
Qin Ze got up early and, with the help of his clone, washed up. He then ate breakfast while listening to the old folks' reports.
The results were all just trivial stuff like royal gossip.
Thousand Faces chimed in, "The prince is getting married; the wedding is set for three days from now."
