Chapter 332: Giant Gods of the Star Realm (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"What's going on here?"
"It's burning."
"So much fire."
"No, that's not right, it's not fire, just pure destructive power."
Above the Azure Star Sea of the Avalon World, giant phantoms loomed from the ends of the cosmos, witnessing the world ablaze. They discerned the source of this power—Twilight.
"The power of Twilight seems to be out of control."
"We can't just stop it at will, if our power is also consumed by the Twilight, it will become even more difficult to deal with."
"A familiar aura, it's the Emperor Eternal."
"Although Twilight is strong, it has only just awakened; it shouldn't be a match for the Emperor Eternal in his peak state."
"But we still need to do something."
At that moment, the Twilight continued to unleash flames relentlessly; its power knew no cessation.
Having absorbed Sherri's power of conquest and Lilith's fairy transformation, the flames now possessed thought and will, becoming even more elusive.
If it were Dumu'an, and not Bailuo, controlling the Twilight...
Ying Muyao was confident that she could engage in battle with it.
The outcome aside, Ying Muyao wouldn't be easily defeated by the adversary.
However, the current situation was utterly different; Ying Muyao could say for certain that she would lose. Between her and Bailuo, it was impossible for Bailuo to lose, for her to win.
Any killing move, any force of formidable might, Ying Muyao couldn't bring to bear.
And yet, the overall strength of the Yatun Clan was still very lacking at present.
Not counting the few from the outside, the senior sister and the old uncle were the strongest on our side.
But the senior sister, after all, had only reached the Third Awakening, which was still some distance from the Four Awakenings; with her current level, it was simply impossible to contend with the Twilight.
How could one fight with the Twilight without even having grasped the Infinite Power?
"Is there any way to stop it?"
The senior sister, controlling the Avalon World, tried to minimize the combustible range of the Twilight as much as possible.
But the Dusk Fire was only fire-like in appearance, it wasn't actually fire. It defied the laws of combustion; forget oxygen, forget flammable material, it was all irrelevant.
If the Twilight desired annihilation, then everything would turn to nothingness.
"It all depends on Xiao Luo!"
Only if Bailuo himself broke free from the binds, then there was a hope to end the rampage of the Twilight.
Otherwise, as long as Bailuo's will persisted, they—even as the Master of Miracles—had no way to interfere with his judgements and decisions.
"But Xiao Luo is enveloped by the Twilight!"
The senior sister saw the situation ahead; they couldn't make out Bailuo's location at all, the Twilight was too cunning.
It protected its own master fiercely and then used the fire it spawned to devour all things, continually strengthening itself before feeding back to its master, making Bailuo grow stronger as well.
"What on earth is it trying to do?"
Ying Muyao had previously been told by Bailuo that her stance was not firm, which naturally was a slander; she had always been on Bailuo's side.
The reason she wanted Bailuo to give up on Twilight was that she felt from a cost-benefit standpoint that Twilight was all detriment with no benefit.
Why?
Because once Bailuo wielded Twilight, nearly two hundred masters of miracles around the world would have a reason to form an alliance and declare war on the Yatun Duchy.
In such a scenario, could Twilight withstand the pressure?
The answer was no, definitely not!
Therefore, Twilight was a calamity; it had come into Bailuo's hands prematurely.
This was Ying Muyao's stance; she hoped Bailuo would temporarily seal away Twilight and should not reveal this nuclear weapon in the eyes of the other masters of miracles during this period.
Moreover, reality had also proved Ying Muyao's conjecture; Twilight was indeed very dangerous.
It killed even its own people, not just the enemy.
If Bailuo were in his right mind, he would never tolerate the existence of such a miracle.
"I don't understand; what exactly is going on with this Twilight?"
But now, Ying Muyao was somewhat perplexed; she found that Twilight didn't keep the power it had devoured to itself.
Not only were mortals continually providing power to Bailuo as the master,
in contrast, Twilight merely acted as a bridge in this process. Its power was not stored within the sword itself, but completely within Bailuo's body.
"It's transforming Xiao Luo!"
The uncle, with keener insight than the older female disciple and the Empress of the East, said, "Do you remember what Twilight said before? It wants to protect its master."
"So that's how it is!"
In an instant, the two women realized.
Li Guang and Twilight were indestructible, and no matter what means you employed, attempting to damage or destroy them was pure fantasy.
Miracle objects were incredibly sturdy in themselves, let alone those of the Supreme Tier.
But were the bodies of Li Guang and Twilight, or rather, their fatal flaws, the weapons themselves?
No, they were not.
Whether it was Li Guang, Twilight, or any other Miracle Object, their weakness was actually quite obvious: the master, the holder, the person currently using them.
Twilight was invincible, but Bailuo, who possessed Twilight, was not.
If Bailuo were to be killed, Twilight would also vanish into ashes.
'Because it's not strong enough.'
'To protect the master.'
Based on Twilight's fundamental judgment, a choice was made; it wanted to make Bailuo as strong as possible, both in strength and spirit.
In the eyes of Twilight, the Yatun Clan's favor was Bailuo's greatest vulnerability.
This vulnerability could become an opportunity to harm Bailuo in the future, so Twilight must erase it in advance; therefore, Fiona, Elsa, and the others were all calamities that must be eliminated!
Only if Bailuo became cold enough, brutal, domineering, and heartless would he be fearless in spirit.
It didn't matter if Bailuo couldn't do it; Twilight would help him.
"What are you looking at me for!"
Ying Muyao, seeing the older female disciple and the uncle looking at her, felt a wave of embarrassment: "I'm not the same as Twilight!"
The Empress of the East seemed to have done something similar before.
Here, everyone could blame Twilight, but not the Empress of the East, after all, she almost destroyed the Yatun side.
"Don't get hung up on the reasons."
The uncle said, "Regardless of Twilight's intentions, whether good or bad, at least we are clear that Xiao Luo doesn't want this to happen right now."
Perhaps in the future, Bailuo might become an indifferent person, but now, Bailuo was not.
As a Miracle Entity, this was enough for them to fight to the death for Bailuo.

"Only by waking Xiao Luo can we stop Twilight."
"But this requires cutting off the source of Twilight's power; otherwise, it's impossible to get close to Xiao Luo."
This created a vicious cycle.
Protected by Twilight, you would have to enter to wake him up.
But if you don't wake Bailuo, how could you break Twilight's protective barrier?
"Boom!"
At that moment, a host of miracles looked up, and at the end of their sight, four massive silhouettes, like bodies constructed by the starry river, slowly bowed down.
"You are..."
The older female disciple felt the connection with them; these fellows were the lingering soul-consciousnesses sleeping within the Avalon Star Realm.
Originally in a state of peaceful slumber, they were awakened by Twilight's power.
"Power that should not exist, ought not exist."
One of the silhouettes uttered these words before suddenly raising a hand, causing the rampaging Twilight to emit a hum.
"The root, Twilight's root has been severed!!"
Ying Muyao found it unbelievable; she had seen many Queens of Avalon before, but never had she seen anyone touch the Avalon Star Realm.
What were these Giant Gods, able to even block the gateway through which Twilight released the Miracle Power?
"Make it quick."
The silhouette was fading, and another figure said gravely, "Even we can only withstand Twilight for a short while."
