Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The fight for the throne was finally over. But the suspense remained. Nobody knew who was the ultimate winner. Was it Nethery? Or Cursed Goddess Soul?

Their feet stepped on the one-hundredth stair at the same time. At that very moment, the Stairway of Star shone brightly and the starry sky trembled.

Bu Fang squinted at the throne. Cursey also could not help but crane her neck. The ultimate owner of the throne was very important, for she would decide the future of Void City and the survival of many universes.

Duchess Nightmare widened her eyes. Duchess Yunlan covered her mouth with a hand and was breathing heavily, her chest heaving. Lord Dog’s tongue hung out of his mouth, while Er Ha’s jaw dropped; his spicy strip almost fell from his lips.

In the distance, the three Great Soul Overlords who were trapped in the Cage of Void were dumbstruck.

“How did this happen? Wasn’t Soul already winning? Didn’t she crush the others and lead all the way to the top? Why did this happen? That Cursed Goddess was so weak! How did she manage to catch up with Soul?!”

Gluttony Great Soul Overlord, in his true form, could not help but touch the cage’s frame with his hand. With a sizzle, his palm was cut into pieces. He howled in pain.

It was a serious injury that a part of his true form was cut off, but he ignored it. He just wanted to know the outcome! Everything they did was for this moment!

Countless Soul Demons were gasping violently.

…

Houtu stood transfixed with shock, staring blankly at the two figures in front of her. Suddenly, a great force erupted and pushed her out of the Stairway of Star, causing her to fall toward the ground.

At the top of the stairway, a bright light flickered. It seemed that the throne was deciding who would be its master. As everyone watched, the light began to change.

Soul turned her head and stared at Nethery, her black eyes shining dazzlingly. Nethery was calm, though.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the city began to shake. Bu Fang’s face flickered, and so was Cursey’s. “It’s starting!” the little girl cried out excitedly, her breathing getting heavier.

Bu Fang focused his eyes. In the distance, Houtu looked up, while countless people watched anxiously.

A strand of extremely pure curse energy soared into the sky from the throne, bloomed in midair, and turned into a stream of light, which kept twisting like a graceful phoenix. Then, the phoenix spread its wings and transformed into a woman, who looked elegant and compassionate as if she wanted to embrace the world.

Hugging her arms, she slowly descended from the sky. This was a woman made of curse energy. She landed in front of Nethery and Soul. Her choice would determine who got the throne of Void City!

Breathing heavily, Soul stared fixedly at the figure made of the curse energy. She knew this was the Queen’s will, and it was looking for a successor. As long as she got the approval of this will, she would be able to sit on the throne and become the ruler of Void City.

“Pick me! I was the fastest to reach the top! Pick me now! I was leading all the way! You must pick me! I’m better than her!” Soul screamed, her voice hoarse.

Nethery watched nonchalantly, showing no intention to argue. In fact, she was licking her lips and wishing she could have one more piece of Fortune Flatbread.

Suddenly, an excited look came over Soul’s face. She saw the woman made of the pure curse energy turn to her and slowly raised a hand at her.

All the people found the scene unbelievable, and many nobles of Void City turned pale in despair. Even the dukes, the marquises, the counts, and the viscounts were losing hope.

They could not imagine what Void City would turn into once it fell into Soul’s hand. Would it become a paradise for Soul Demons? Would they all become the prisoners of Soul Demons? For a moment, grief and despair filled everyone’s heart.

Meanwhile, the three Great Soul Overlords in the cage roared with excitement. The Soul Demons were growling as well. Their terrible voices shook the entire Void City.

Soul smiled happily. “Yes… pick me. I’m the most suitable successor…” As she watched the woman’s hand approach, Soul could not conceal the excitement on her face. Sure enough, she was the winner! A girl who relied on a chef could never beat her!

Suddenly, Soul shuddered. In front of her, the woman lifted a hand and pointed a slender finger at her brow, then pushed slowly. She was struck dumb. At that moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave. Her mind, body, and soul were separated, and her blood was frozen.

Then, a great force that she was powerless to resist exploded, pushing her out of the Stairway of Star.

“NOOOO!!!”

Soul screamed, unwilling to accept this as her fate. She struggled, her arms and legs flailing helplessly as she fell. Unfortunately, none of that helped. Soon, she smashed to the ground with a rumble.

Nethery was slightly stunned. The next moment, the woman drifted in front of her like a pure elemental spirit with both arms spread. “What do you want?” She looked warily at the woman made of curse energy.

Instead of answering, the woman threw herself at Nethery and merged with her like water. The throne began to transform.

Nethery felt that she was being carried by a great force, while countless voices were ringing in her head, which seemed to be chanting or murmuring, but they also sounded like the whispering between girls. Her eyes grew blank as the force lifted her into the air and slowly brought her toward the throne.
