Chapter 225: Invincible
[Southern Region.]
Mirabella stretched her hand forward, a faint golden aura wrapping around her fingers as all the weapon loots and skill scrolls flew towards her, hovering in the air like obedient stars drawn to a black hole.
She opened her palm, and the only Legendary class skill scroll—pulsing with a deep, golden light—landed perfectly on her palm. Without hesitation, she crushed the seal and activated it.
{DING!}
{Congratulations, Host gained a new skill.}
{Skill: Blood Sucker: Siphon 50% of her own Heart from any target. Cool down: 24 hours.}
Before she could fully process the mechanics of the vampiric ability, a second, heavier chime resonated deep within her soul core.
{Congratulations, Imperial Bloodline have been activated.}
{Skill: Blood Sucker: Siphon 100% of her own Heart from any target, no matter their strength and level. Cool down: 12 hours}
Mirabella blinked in shock. The system had bypassed standard level resistances completely. She brought out her profile’s stats, the translucent blue interface projecting before her eyes:
{Name: Mirabella Sunny.}
{Game Nickname: Spectral.}
{Level: Lv350. (20%) (God level).}
{Physical Attack: 9,500,000.}
{Agility: 15,401,008.}
{Defense: 84,799,240.}
{Health: 905,751,200.}
{Magic Attack: 9,500,000.}
{Intellect: 100%.}
{Spirit energy: 30,000,000/30,000,000.}
{Kills: 754,858.}
{Boss killed: 2,150.}
{World Boss Killed: 195.}
{Realm World Boss killed: 1.}
{Neutral Reputation Gained: 100%.}
’I can rule the whole second server with these stats...’ she calculated, her eyes tracing the absurd numerical values.
’But I need that Celestial Palace... When I have it under control, I can graduate from the first level and enter the second level, then, I can cut off any ties with any empires... But before that.’ Her eyes narrowed, the chill of old vendettas cooling her blood.
’I need to reclaim everything that belongs to the Sun family.’ She chuckled under her breath, a sound devoid of humor, staring at her newly acquired, limit-breaking skill:
’My health points is 905,751,200... There is nothing in this world, both in the second and first server that have such high health points... I am invincible.’ She stared at the remaining loot suspended before her and blinked, her gaze catching on a peculiar item among the loots and armor pieces: a pristine, glowing golden map.
’What is this?’ She thought, her curiosity piqued by its lack of a system identifier. She snapped her fingers, the spatial distortion hiding her movement as she discreetly stored it in her system’s storage.
’I will investigate later.’ She thought, turning her attention back to her recovering teammates.

[The Arena.]
At the moment, the whole Arena was plunged into silence. Millions of spectators were just staring at the rising points on the monolithic scoreboard in absolute disbelief and shock. Everyone’s mind was completely blank; not a single coherent thought could form in the face of such anomaly.
In the royal families’ VIP rooms, the silence was utterly dense. The air felt heavy, suffocating. Even Hayatobi, the proud powerhouse of the Dragon Empire, sat frozen in shock and disbelief, re-evaluating everything he thought he knew about the universe’s power ceiling.
Mirabella had single-handedly wiped out a tide of monsters—with five World Bosses in the ranks—in less than one minute. There was no one in the world, mortal or master, that could achieve such a thing.
Nadia collapsed on her seat, the fight completely draining from her posture. "Forget the second, third, fourth and fifth rounds, we already lost this competition," she admitted, her voice hollow.
The rest of the Sword Empire royalty in the room nodded their heads. Even a fool could see the vast, insurmountable difference. Mirabella hadn’t just defeated the other students; she had just showed the world that even Master teachers couldn’t defeat her, let alone academy kids.
"So should we call off the competition?" The Prince asked, oblivious to the political suicide of his words, causing everyone to glare at him with barely restrained fury.
This wasn’t an ordinary competition. If they simply gave it up, they would instantly be placed at the bottom of the regional rankings. Even the Eagle Empire would be placed above them, stripping them of vital planetary resources. They couldn’t allow that!
’Is my son this stupid? Maybe I should pass the throne to my daughter,’ Emperor George thought, his face dark as he turned to Princess Carolina, who was calmly sipping her tea amidst the crisis.
’With her strength, she should be the only one in the younger generations who can stand against Mirabella... But now. I am not even confident she will win,’ he thought, the reality of a shifting world order settling heavily upon his shoulders.

[Unknown World, Dark Great Prison.]
Far beyond the borders of the known servers, in a realm devoid of starlight, sat a throne carved from petrified leviathan bones. Due to the soul mark and his blood resonating within Mirabella across dimensions, he could clearly feel the icy spikes of her emotions. He sighed softly, the sound causing the shadows to tremble.
"Why does she hate me? I gave her everything she needed," Julian Aethelgard said in a low voice, a mixture of godlike arrogance and genuine perplexity.
"Maybe because you forced the title on her... She doesn’t even know you," a voice rumbled as the Primordial Hydra’s massive, scale-plated head moved out from the surrounding darkness, its eyes burning like twin suns in the abyss.
"Why? She is my chosen bride, even the prophecy said she is mine." He stood up from the throne. The motion caused a ripple of absolute authority, sending his millions of shadow-bound soldiers dropping to their knees in uniform terror.
"I don’t care!! I will win her over, no matter what!! She is mine and mine alone!!" He yelled. He waved his armored hand, tearing the fabric of reality as a blood-red system screen appeared before him.
"She has the Master system, while I have the Emperor System... We are fated to be one."
