Chapter 488 - 484-Puppet Magic
When Dolores opened her eyes, a trace of solemnity flashed through them, as if she could see through the void and observe the chaotic situation in the Pure Land.
"Outside the Emerald Dreamscape, Madelyn personally led her troops and annihilated hundreds of thousands of iron-blooded warriors. She truly lives up to the title of this generation’s Death’s Calamity."
"Ferola, the Lord of the Celestial God Palace, and Ysera have also taken action, making the Emerald Dreamscape impenetrable and impossible to conquer."
"Outside the Azure Kingdom, there’s even a little girl, physically formidable, who crushed a hundred thousand stone warriors in her wake..."
"And that Archdemon—terrifying in strength, growing fiercer with each battle. Beside her, a woman commands countless magical artifacts, slaughtering through the army as though walking through an empty field."
"Even after Owen’s disappearance, the Azure Kingdom and the Emerald Dreamscape have managed to hold out this long, thanks to these women standing as their backbone."
"Owen’s companions seem to be far too many..."
Dolores muttered to herself, her expression growing increasingly grave.
Though the army she led was advancing with unstoppable momentum, she was well aware it was because they had yet to encounter Owen’s companions. If they did, even with her confidence in her own strength, defeating them would not be an easy task.
As these thoughts crossed her mind, she failed to notice a faint and unremarkable glimmer descending erratically from the heavens, ultimately entering her brow.
Once the light entered her brow, a translucent thread extended from her brow upward, disappearing into the sky. It resembled a fishing line that had hooked a big fish but refrained from reeling it in.
Dolores yawned, suddenly feeling drowsy. This caused her to frown immediately. With her cultivation level, her spirit was perpetually vigorous; even going without sleep for a long time wouldn’t be an issue. Why was she suddenly so tired?
She instinctively tried to shake it off, but soon, an overwhelming sensation of enlightenment about [Order] surged into her, making her feel she was steadily approaching the level of a Primordial God.
A smile immediately appeared on her face.
It seemed that her years of conquest had finally reached a tipping point, leading to qualitative transformation. She was drawing closer to becoming a Primordial God.
She didn’t want to miss this opportunity and immediately began focusing entirely on her enlightenment.
Quickly, the sensation of fatigue swept over her entire body, causing her to gradually close her eyes.
...
Dolores didn’t know how long it had been since she last dreamed. This time, it felt like a lucid dream.
In the dream, she saw her past—her familiar family, her familiar academy. It was as though time had reversed.
This peculiar dream-like sensation made a trace of curiosity flash across Dolores’s face.
Although she didn’t know why she was dreaming, her inherently proud nature wouldn’t allow her to be second-best, even in a dream.
Now that she was back in the past in this dream, she resolved to once again become the best!
To her, retracing her past would also solidify her foundation, which was beneficial for her growth.
After carefully recalling her past, Dolores formed a plan in her heart. Your adventure continues at empire
In this lifetime, she would still become the best in her family and the most legendary student of the Divine Heart Academy.
She glanced at her student uniform from the Divine Heart Academy, frowning slightly.
Judging by her attire, she seemed to have just joined the academy and had not yet become a legendary student.
The quickest way to become a legendary student was to defeat the current legendary student.
If she remembered correctly, her past self had made her name at this point in time!
However, perhaps because this was a dream, she no longer possessed the same luck as before and didn’t directly become the academy’s legendary student.
Even so, with her knowledge of the past and her innate pride, she refused to be inferior to her former self.
Thus, during a conflict between the Divine Heart Academy and the Elemental Academy over a hidden realm, Dolores found an opportune moment.
Like a seasoned hunter, she orchestrated events so that the students from the Elemental Academy targeted the current legendary student of the Divine Heart Academy.
Under their combined assault, even though the legendary student was exceptionally gifted, they were no match for many opponents and suffered severe injuries.
However, the Elemental Academy also sustained heavy losses. At this moment, Dolores appeared, reaping the rewards of her scheming!
She not only eliminated the current legendary student but also wiped out the students from the Elemental Academy, seizing all the opportunities within the hidden realm and becoming the biggest victor.
She emerged as the avenger for the previous legendary student and a hero who elevated the Divine Heart Academy’s reputation.
Naturally, such a hero was promptly acknowledged and nurtured by the academy, earning her the title of the new legendary student.
Although the process differed from her original path, the outcome remained unchanged.
This experience thrilled Dolores immensely.
After all, she had achieved her goal through strategy and planning, without relying on the favor of fortune.
Her excitement only grew as she set her next target on the academy’s famed Apocalypse Blade.
It was said that this divine blade, left behind by a former headmaster, possessed immense power.
The competition among students for this blade was intense, even resulting in casualties.
However, with her memories of true cultivation, her breakthroughs were unstoppable. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
These students were no match for her. As the blade was about to fall into her hands once more, a prodigy claiming to be the inheritor of the Godslayer Staff suddenly appeared, aiming to acquire the blade from the academy.
The divine blade, being sentient, chose only the worthy.
This prodigy swept through the Divine Heart Academy, defeating its so-called geniuses, leaving them utterly humiliated.
The academy had no choice but to send Dolores to face him. After all, the mentors were senior figures, and taking action against a young prodigy might harm the academy’s reputation.
The appearance of the Godslayer Staff’s inheritor disrupted Dolores’s original plans.
Still, she was curious about this prodigy. After all, he had not appeared in her original memories.
She didn’t dwell too much on it—this was, after all, just a dream. The emergence of some anomalies was to be expected.
However, upon meeting the inheritor of the Godslayer Staff, Dolores suddenly had the uncanny sense that she was meeting someone destined.
His sunny smile and resolute face left a deep impression on her.
To test her limits and for the academy’s honor, Dolores decided to give this inheritor a challenge.
If she won, he would hand over the Godslayer Staff. If she lost, she vowed to obey him without question.
The inheritor, eager to hone his swordsmanship, agreed to her terms.
Their duel became the talk of the academy.
Everyone was curious about the sudden appearance of the inheritor of the Godslayer Staff, a legendary artifact renowned across realms.
The duel took place under the watchful eyes of countless spectators. The battlefield was packed to capacity.
On the day of the duel, the two fought for an entire day and night, ending in a draw.
"We’ll fight again in the future!"
Dolores was stunned to find herself meeting a true rival, her heart filled with astonishment. Her intense competitive spirit made her unwilling to admit defeat.
She was determined to defeat this inheritor, no matter how long it took.
The inheritor, having gained much from their battle, agreed to her proposal.
To ensure her ultimate victory and maintain her unbeaten legend, Dolores began closely observing the inheritor’s every move.
Her actions were quickly noticed by the sharp-sensed inheritor.
"Are you trying to learn my swordsmanship?" he asked with a smile.
Dolores hesitated, about to deny it, when the inheritor chuckled and said, "If you’re interested, we can exchange techniques. I’m also curious about your blade arts."
