(A reminder for the front row: at dusk on December 12.27, a 282-word plot development was made for Chapter , which is the end of the previous chapter. Those who are not aware of this are requested to go and catch up. Thank you.)

For the two who had accumulated a lot of combat experience, dodging the Slime Queen's template attack was not difficult. At the same time, due to the time span, the entire battle was relatively easy.
...Soon, a pair of holy wings extended from the crystal in the Slime Queen's body and finally attached to the Queen's side.
In this way, the King of Condensed Creatures entered the so-called "second stage".
The Slime Queen flapped its wings and flew high, and the royal gel radiated downwards, while performing periodic teleportation... This was repeated several times, and the next time it teleported, it suddenly appeared right above Xi Yao, and then fell down at a speed far exceeding the normal deceleration.
At the moment when the two were almost at zero distance, Xi Yao waved the Chaos Teleportation Rod, and the safe place arrived in the blink of an eye... and when the Slime Queen landed, a crystal spike was released from the center of the circle to the surroundings.
...At the same time, a Terra crystal condensed around Xi Yao. He skillfully held it in the palm of his hand and pressed it against the blade.
The condensed crystals quickly dissipated into light particles, gradually pouring into the Terra Blade... However, at this moment, the Slime Queen teleported again, splitting several flying slimes in the process. But soon, these weak soldiers were turned into gel by the Fallen Star Disk released by the prism.
This time with some preparation, Xi Yao relied on a sprint to avoid the Queen's high-speed impact, then slightly moved through the gap between the crystal spikes, and then turned to the Slime Queen who was in a stiff state.
The next second, he exploded his anger, and red flames surged around his body; Xi Yao raised the Terra Blade, and on the huge blade, a faint emerald green light continued to surge back.
In the blink of an eye, Terra's Condensed Attack was unleashed, and the Moon Blade hit directly. The scattered Terra sword beams were like a rainstorm, piercing through the Slime Queen in unison.
This dealt a heavy blow to the Slime Queen. Just as Xi Yao was about to give it a second blow, suddenly, the Fallen Star Disk was thrown over, and several Starlight Conch Bullets came down from above, reaping the already severely disabled Queen.
…At the same time, the god of the condensed creature hidden inside trembled slightly. He certainly realized his failure and immediately broke away from the gel and tried to run away again.
However, Xi Yao obviously did not intend to let it escape this time. He immediately flew up and opened the void storage space on the escape path of the Slime God, hoping to rely on inertia to let it actively enter the storage space.
However, the Slime God was much more agile than Xi Yao had imagined. After discovering a [subspace] in front of him, the Slime God suddenly stopped moving, immediately turned to the lower right side of Xi Yao, and flew away at high speed.
...Soon, Prism came to Xi Yao's side. He smiled faintly and then said, "You seem to be thinking of taking that crystal?"
"Just try, maybe you can control a god, this is very attractive." Xi Yao said, then he closed the storage space and looked away, "even if that god is extremely weak."
After saying that, he looked at the essence trophy of the Slime Queen. First, he listened to the legend, and then Xi Yao immediately opened the treasure bag.
...It was a little different from the previous essence loot. Among the loot of the Slime Queen, there was one and only one weapon belonging to the Summoner. Among the remaining loot, a set of fully equipped crystal armor was particularly conspicuous... In addition, there were some gel objects and a few souls of light stored in it.
...After putting away the spoils, Xi Yao took out the teleportation potion, distributed it to Prism, and looked at him. Then they both nodded slightly and drank it at the same time in silent tacit understanding.
……
After returning to Dongfang Town, Xi Yao first obtained the magic thorn from Yu Yuling, who looked unhappy; then he found Elias, who said that Shen Yue’s whereabouts were unknown, and he really couldn’t find a chance to ask about the meaning of "torrent".
"...Tonight, I will witness the flood." After a moment of contemplation, Xi Yao said calmly, repeating Shen Yue's words. "That's what it said, right?"
Elias spread out one hand: "Yeah, that's right... if it's tonight... it's getting late now, what do you say?"
"...In that case, let's wait for a while and witness the so-called flood together to see what it is." Xi Yao slowly curled his lips and looked into the distance.
……
After leaping out of the microcosm, Shen Yue stood on the top of a mountain. She looked up at the moon phase tonight, and after a few moments of silence, she placed the two balls of essence catalyst in the palms of her hands.
“…Halloween…Christmas…” Shen Yue murmured to herself. After a few seconds, she moved her gaze to her left hand, to the catalyst that was a mixture of black and gold.
"Hmm... I remember Halloween comes before Christmas..." Shen Yue murmured, and she put the catalyst in her right hand, which looked extremely cold to the naked eye, back into the storage space. Then she raised the catalyst in her left hand above her head, facing the bright moon.
In silence, Shen Yue slowly clenched his fist, and the All Saints Catalyst was easily crushed, and the black and gold mist visible to the naked eye slowly dissipated.
...The strange thing is that, almost at the same time as the catalyst was crushed and the essence dissipated, the bright moon in the sky gradually changed its appearance.
...Soon, the whiteness of the bright moon disappeared, replaced by the dark gold of the harvest, and the light shining down also changed, appearing a little strange.
"Is this the solar term event on the Terra continent..." Shen Yue murmured, "Compared to the previous ones, this can be considered a torrent, right...?"
…Then, under the dim golden moonlight, Shen Yue stood still and spoke slowly.
"Tonight, I will witness the flood."
