Chapter 301: The Fall of the Star Child
Mrs. Bai turned around and said in confusion, "Kloface, I don't know what you are talking about. The prophecy is a secret that only the great lord knows. Why are you asking me?"
Kloface was not moved at all. He said coldly, "Don't play dumb with me. When Michael got the prophecy, he went to find you first. Then he secretly sent the newborn child away and hid him."
"This is the only sentence in the prophecy that is related to you. I want to know what you said to him at the time and why he did that."
Mrs. White smiled and said, "If you are willing to tell me the complete prophecy, I will be honored to tell you everything I know, Kloface~"
Kloface took a step closer, his tall figure casting a deep shadow on Mrs. White's face.
He leaned close to Madam Bai's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Madam Bai, the demon lords are scattered all over the planet, and we have very limited time to get together, so you may not know me very well."
"I have nothing in common with Michael, who is indecisive and thinks that the noble descendants of the ancient gods can coexist peacefully with humans. He even took the lead in intermarrying with lowly humans and tainting the pure bloodline of God."
"I'm not negotiating with you, Madam Bai. Either you do as I say, or I send you back to the Land of Evil Spirits. This is your only choice."
"You know, I never joke."
Mrs. Bai put away her exquisite ivory folding fan and gently placed it against Klofas' chest. She sighed and said, "Of course I know, Klofas. Who doesn't know what the consequences of disobeying you are? After all, you are a demon who can kill the former overlord and take his place~"
A black aura lingered around Kloface's right palm, but Lady White stopped him just before he got angry.
It’s certainly fun to dance to a dead end (literally). But if you’re actually going to die, it’s not so wonderful.
"That year, on the day when his newborn son was born, Michael was inspired by the Well of Nebula, and he exchanged his endless life and half of his power for three prophecies from the Well of Nebula." Madam White walked away from Klophas's side as gracefully as a white swan, and her white-filmed eyes turned in the direction of little Asaiah.
"The first prophecy the Nebula Well told him was: One of the Star Children born with a falling star is destined to die in suffering, while the other will be crowned king."
"The second prophecy: The true end of the world will come when the Son of the Stars reigns."
"The last prophecy is that life will follow death."
Kloface narrowed his eyes dangerously. "Don't you know everything?"
Madam White raised her eyebrows and laughed: "Kloface, you said it yourself, Michael is completely different from you, he did not murder the previous great lord, so he is not so defensive against us subordinates."
At this time, Mrs. White had already walked behind little Asaiah and Lucifer, and she seemed to be willing to die together with her son if Klophas dared to take action.
Kloface frowned and waved his hand to disperse the black air swirling around his right palm.
"Go on."
"Isn't this easy to understand?" Mrs. Bai raised her head and looked up at the small black ball floating in the air.
"When the end of the world comes and the earth is destroyed, the Star Crown will be reborn."
Klophas remained silent, his extremely oppressive gaze falling on Madam White and little Asaiah.
"I was almost fooled by you." He said suddenly, "If this is the case, Michael has no reason to send her away."
A stream of black air silently crept up to little Asaiah's neck along the ground, and a black bone chain covered with spikes condensed out of thin air suddenly strangled her throat.
"So 'life will come with death' does not mean the coming of the end of the world and the destruction of the earth, but means the fall of the Son of the Stars."
The black bone chain tightened suddenly, and little Asaiah didn't even have time to make a sound. Her tender neck broke, and blood splattered like mist from the ruptured aorta.
"dad--!"
"Kloface!"
Ai Wanxin woke up from her dream as if she had stepped off a tall building. She almost jumped up, all the pores on her body opened, and cold sweat instantly poured out like a waterfall.
Before she could recover from the palpitations, a silver snake with bright red tongue on the thin blanket caught her eye.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ai Wanxin felt like her heart stopped beating for a second.
At that moment, she seemed to be back in the depressing castle, back in the small bedroom in the tower, as if the next moment, Lucifer with a mocking smile on his face would jump down from the windowsill, and Klophas would take her to the Tomb of the Starry Sky, or in other words, her grave.
The little fox and kitten who had been guarding her felt their master's emotions. The kitten pounced into the air, grabbed the silver snake by the wrist, and flew it up, landing it lightly on the ground.
Xiaobai's whole body was stiff. When the kitten pounced on it just now, it was not that it couldn't dodge. Of course, the kitten didn't pounce seriously. His main purpose was to get the snake off his owner's bed.
The kitten opened its mouth after it landed on the ground, and Xiaobai curled himself up tightly like a plate of mosquito coils.
It cried loudly to Tuoba Qiong through the mental connection: [I said I won't come, and you can't enter the girls' dormitory. How can I enter? ]
[You insisted on me coming, insisted on me coming. She was just sleeping in, but you were worried. Is there anyone else in this world who can hurt her? ]
[Wuwuwuwu, I’m hated, wuwuwuwu——]
Ai Wanxin had no idea that Xiaobai's tears were about to drown Tuoba Qing's spiritual sea. She was in a state of disorder with confused memories.
At the beginning of the dream, when little Asaiah was in the orphanage, she was still aware that she was dreaming and could still observe everything from the perspective of a bystander.
When she got into the black car and met Klophas, Lucifer and Lilith, she was completely immersed in the memory, as if she was reliving what happened at that time as little Asaiah.
Now, she couldn't tell in her mind whether it was a dream or a real memory of hers.
The little fox came forward and rubbed his head against her sweaty cheek. The warm and soft touch gradually brought her back to her senses.
Ai Wanxin buried her face in the little fox's furry neck, took a few deep breaths, and slowly calmed herself down.
When she raised her head again, her eyes had returned to calm and firmness.
Ai Wanxin's gaze moved to the back of her right hand. The tree-shaped totem was now hidden under her skin, and nothing could be seen.
She whispered softly: "You are the Crown of the Starry Sky..."
