Chapter 550 – Epilogueception (4) (Medusa)
Medusa held many secrets ever since she was born.
As Liu Yang had suspected, she was an otherworlder, a reincarnator of a higher dimension who came to play in the lower dimension. She had been roleplaying as Morning Star's adopted daughter for countless years.
Medusa once participated in the Heaven Dragon Gathering Festival and died. However, she had prepared a backup body prepared in this dimension in advance, but she had to restart from square one.
But her life wasn't worry-free. Many local gods and goddesses wanted her dead because of her race and her inheritance. Fortunately, Morning Star, aka Lucifer, saved her and took her in as his daughter.
Medusa was trained under Morning Star despite that her former body was stronger than him. Yet, she pretended to be weak and continued training diligently. Medusa wanted to train her former art, the rainbow wing cultivation, but she was afraid of the creator, who was the administrator of this domain. Thus, she laid low.
Later on, Medusa adopted a newborn demon girl as her daughter, Friday, to kill her boredom and wait for the day that she could regain her former glory and fight on the glorious stage once more.
Still, the father-daughter relationship softened her heart. After a thousand years, she forgot about the festival and focused on living her life as a good demon king's daughter.
Then, Tong came by. Medusa was shocked when she found out that Tong was once Dong Zhou, but he had more karma points than she had expected.
Morning Star ordered her to rope him in and convert Tong so that they could gain another potential 10-wing demon.
Medusa sent Friday to seduce Tong and she succeeded. However, it succeeded because of the incoming trail, which was rigged by one of the goddesses.
It was dubious how a newly recruited angel could sabotage the trial under the watch of many 10-wing and 8-wing angels and gods. Medusa suspected that someone with a higher power might have interfered, and the prime suspect was the creator.
Still, Morning Star trusted the creator as she was the founder of Heaven, Hell, and their cultivation techniques.
Afterward, Medusa and Friday followed Tong into the current world despite her doubts. As someone from a higher dimension, she believed that the creator was probably aware of her existence in the domain.
Moving to the trial world was risky since she didn't know Lilith very well. She was rumored to be a dangerous individual, but she was sealed by the creator.
…
The trial was rough, but Tong made it to the end. He managed to unify the country and entrapped Ping's soul.
Medusa admired how Tong got through predicaments using his perverted and trolling mindset. She was amazed that Tong even forced Liu Yang and Lilim into submission with his Johnny.
Along the way, Liu Yang caught the hints of Medusa's secrets, but she left her alone. After all, Liu Yang was perfect for being Tong's seedbed to populate more rainbow wing cultivators. She could always send them to various habitable planets to create more mortals, expanding soul circulation and life force.
Still, Medusa enjoyed the post-marriage life. For a thousand years, Medusa manipulated Tong's night activities, and gave birth to 1,100 cursed babies.
Medusa was overjoyed that these babies were actually evolvable drakes, which could grow up into dragons. However, they could also devolve into hydras, a sub-species of demon dragons.
For the sake of ensuring their growth, Medusa entrusted them to Lilim. She also found out that Lilim and Friday also gave birth to many cursed children.
East-West War occurred on the way. Medusa, Liu Yang, and Friday wanted to join the fun and kill some Roman soldiers. However, Tong stopped his family from interfering in this war, telling them that it would harm their karma.
It was suspicious. They tortured Tong to squeeze the information, but Tong's mouth was too tight. In the end, Zuo Ci pledged to spare Tong, so everyone left him alone.
The war ended with no decisive winner, but the western world was half-destroyed.
Everything was in their favor. Unfortunately, the sudden festival ruined Medusa's mood.
At first, she only accepted the invitation so that she could spy on others and the current powerhouses. Medusa didn't expect that the creator would show up and challenged her.
Of course, she planned to decline the pointless bet since she was currently much weaker than a 16-wing cultivator with a fairy dragon physical body.
But once the creator told them that she had Morning Star's soul and she had destroyed Netherworld, Tong, Liu Yang, and Medusa were enraged. The creator even gave them a handicap by fighting all of them at once.
Everyone accepted without hesitation. They didn't believe that a 16-wing dragon could contest against their intelligence, the combination of cheat system skills.
The grand emperor allowed them to use system skills of their universe without restraint, so Tong, Medusa, Liu Yang, Zhang Ying, Zhang Min, Li Feihong, and Sun Shangxiang went all out.
Medusa used her natural power to the fullest. The gorgon dragon kept interrupting the creator's abilities while Tong and others continued to harass their enemy.
The fight was in their favor in the first half. But once the creator had enough, she summoned a black hole over the planet stadium.
The black hole couldn't harm the stadium, but it drained Tong and others' lifespan at a rate of a million years per second, and it created an attraction force that tried to suck them into the abyss.
Li Feihong opened a sub-dimension portal and put half of the creator's body into it. Then, he closed the portal, which severed her body in half.
The creator screamed in pain. Yet, she didn't stop the black hole skill. She activated a detonation sequence, which would create a supernova out of the exploding condensed black hole.
The black hole gravity got more intense. Zhang Min, Zhang Ying, and Hua Shi almost got pulled into the abyss.
Seeing that everyone was in a pinch, Tong summoned dimensional gates and pulled everyone into Li Feihong's dimension. He jumped at the fairy dragon's head and activated his [Eyes of Dominance].
Using the few precious seconds of confusion, Tong forced the creator to stop the explosion and spat out Morning Star's soul.
He got everything he wanted, but the fairy dragon snapped out of Tong's brainwashing skill. She returned the favor and used the same skill on Tong.
Tong was ready for the retaliation as he activated his soul detonation in advance. He activated his admin macro program to automatically send Morning Star's soul and his soul into Li Feihong world. He also didn't forget to release all of his karmic subordinates and cancel the soulmate contract, so no one would die along with him.
Tong's soul detonated before the domination effect took place. The enhanced explosion destroyed the remaining fairy dragon body, but it failed to kill her soul.
The creator's soul flew away to reincarnate in a backup body in her universe. As for Tong's soul fragments, they went to Li Feihong's private dimension.
Medusa and the crews were shocked by the sudden self-sacrifice. However, she was glad that his soul fragments were still around, and Morning Star's soul could still be healed.
Without claiming their prize, everyone asked the universe emperor to send them back home.
Thus, everyone came home, tattered and injured. They also brought everyone a piece of bad news.
Tong was killed by the creator. However, they could reincarnate him since they had the system authority. Medusa and everyone visited Zuo Ci, who was promoted as a new admin by default.
Zuo Ci was nice enough to pass on his authority to Medusa, so she could tamper with the karma river herself.
Medusa spent a hundred years, repairing Tong's soul and Lucifer's soul.
When she sent both of them to the reincarnation river and arranged new bodies for both of them, Lilith visited Medusa and confessed about her secrets.
Lilith revealed that she was the [Lilith], the 16-wing demoness that the creator had trapped. She inquired about the creator's current status.
Medusa recounted the story about their bet and the battle result since they were now allies.
Lilith said that the creator would be back. She, too, was a reincarnated dragon that was living in the creator's domain.
Lilith volunteered that she would participate in the next festival as their vanguard. She wanted to get her revenge.
Medusa wasn't against it. She allowed Lilith to prepare for the next festival since they had resources.
Tong reincarnated into this universe a hundred years later. Medusa stayed as the system administrator for the next millenniums.
Medusa, Li Feihong, and Lilith continued participating in the festival for two more times. In one of the festivals, Medusa managed to score a big win and obtained a brand new universe with an advanced system.
She moved with her family to the new universe and became a new administrator there. As for the current universe, [Chaos Galaxy Universe], she gave it to Li Feihong as the new Tong refused to inherit it.
In the new universe, Medusa and some of her children got their peaceful and tranquil life. She stopped attending the festival events as everyone managed to obtain what they wanted.
Medusa refused to live with Tong again since she was ashamed of her hidden secrets. She distanced herself from everyone else, but she kept in touch by using admin messenger to chat with them once in a while.
Tong refused Medusa's divorce proposal. He insisted that they should reunite as one family again. Yet, Medusa kept refusing. She remained as a single mother for the years to come.
Until Medusa ran into the reincarnation of the creator…
As for what Tong, Morning Star, Lilith, and the other family members did afterward, it was another story.
