CHAPTER 221: IDENTITY

This scene unfolded before countless eyes, stunning innumerable people and destined to become a moment deeply engraved in their memories, something unforgettable even after many years have passed.

Because it truly was too shocking!

The colossal dragon had appeared with such force that it shook the entire Island One, displaying overwhelming dominance.

But at this very moment, a peak tier Resonator dashed past, piercing straight through the dragon’s brain and ending its life on the spot.

High in the air, the dragon instantly died, its massive form disintegrating and reverting back to Horan’s original appearance. Blood stained his head as his body helplessly drifted down from the sky.

On Island Number One, people had come from all over, including many who arrived from the Kingdom of Avirak.

These individuals were now dazed, staring in disbelief and awe at the sky. That dragon was a mythical existence in their kingdom, yet now, before their very eyes, it had fallen.

A kingdom’s myth had just become history.

"Next."

Carlotta points her sword towards Golden Lion Rodrigo and the Vampire Princess, Elisa Griffin, causing both of their expressions to darken.

They truly hadn’t expected Horan to lose, not only lose, but be defeated so quickly. This unforeseen outcome sent chills through their hearts.

They understood clearly: Carlotta White had to be eliminated as soon as possible, or she would surely take their lives in the future!

"Kill!"

The two no longer hesitated, joining forces as they charged towards Carlotta, determined to hunt her down together.

At this moment, the Golden Lion was still maintaining his disguise, and his true identity remained unknown to others.

But Elisa Griffin, as a Vampire Princess, was far more famous even than Horan Freck. Her appearance had already drawn widespread attention, after all, many textbooks mentioned this terrifying Vampire Princess with immense reverence.

Now, Elisa raised her hand, and over a dozen figures clad in black robes instantly appeared. These were puppets she had transformed using her Puppets Magic.

Clearly, during the incident at the Tower of Babel, Elisa had held back, she hadn’t summoned all her puppets, pretending she only had a few. But now, facing a Carlotta who defied all logic, Elisa had no intention of holding back anymore.

Each of these dozen puppets exuded the aura of a Weaver. They rushed forward quickly from the air, and the mere presence of their power sent shivers through many observers.

These were Weaver-level combatants. Elisa had summoned over a dozen with a single wave of her hand, undoubtedly a shocking feat.

Previously, when Carlotta had encountered these puppets, she found them troublesome, since puppets had no souls and were immune to her War Goddess.

But now, she had nothing to fear. If the War Goddess fails, there is still the Goddess of Wisdom.

As the dozen black-robed figures charged forward, a luminous, identical afterimage of Carlotta herself emerged behind her, pure and flawless, radiating an ethereal presence.

This was the manifestation of Carlotta’s inner Goddess of Wisdom. Upon appearing, she instantly saw through the weaknesses of the numerous black-robed Weavers ahead. In the next instant, the Goddess of Wisdom shot forward, turning into a dazzling beam of white light that reached the first black-robed Weaver, brushing past him in a flash.

In that moment, the puppet was instantly cut in half, unable to resist at all.

Then, the Goddess of Wisdom continued forward as a streak of light, quickly passing by the second, the third... all the way to the last black-robed Weaver. Wherever she passed, each puppet was torn apart, their broken bodies helplessly plummeting from the air.

This scene left the entire Island Number One speechless.

When the dozen black-robed Weavers first appeared, many people were stunned, their expressions shifting in awe. Elisa Griffin truly lived up to her reputation as an old-generation Weaver, her power was impressive and awe-inspiring.

But now, such a breathtaking display of strength had been easily dismantled by Carlotta. How could this not shake everyone?

Even Elisa herself had her pupils sharply contracted.

"What’s going on? You shouldn’t only have this one trick, now is not the time to hold back!"

Golden Lion Rodrigo urgently reminded.

"Save your words. You act first."

Elisa growled.

Her Puppet Magic was naturally not this simple. Besides turning others into puppets, she could also apply puppetry on herself, dramatically enhancing her abilities.

At this moment, she began her self-puppetry transformation. Her golden hair wildly whipped around, and her entire physical texture changed, becoming more artificial, like a genuine doll rather than a living being.

Yet in this state, all aspects of her physical capabilities skyrocketed. Her aura grew increasingly terrifying, causing tremors throughout the surrounding space.

The Golden Lion didn’t just stand by. He quickly rushed forward, swinging his fist toward Carlotta.

Carlotta raised her sword and slashed at the Golden Lion’s fist. But the power of her strike didn’t harm him at all, it completely rebounded back at her.

Carlotta tilted her head, narrowly avoiding the backlash of her own attack.

"So that’s it. This is Reversal Magic, capable of reversing others’ attacks, similar to a reflection effect."

Carlotta murmured thoughtfully.

Hearing Carlotta’s words, the Golden Lion’s heart clenched, he hadn’t expected she’d already figured out the essence of his magic.

He felt even more clearly now how abnormal and dangerous Carlotta was. With a low roar, his body expanded slightly, launching a furious barrage of attacks against Carlotta.

His ability wasn’t just limited to reversing others’ attacks, he could also reverse his own magical energies when they collided, unleashing devastating explosions. Fundamentally, it differs greatly from simple reflection magic.

Now, the Golden Lion striked repeatedly, clashing fiercely with Carlotta.

Meanwhile, Elisa, now fully puppetized, also charged forward, swinging her hand toward Carlotta like a strike from a legendary artifact, her bare hand stronger than any sacred tool.

Carlotta fought violently against both opponents, shattering the very air around them.

On Island Number One, thousands of spectators were watching this world-shaking battle with intense expressions.

Suddenly, Carlotta activated her Battle Card art, drawing the Speed Card and applying its power to herself.

"Huh?"

A group of observers in the crowd, famous Listeners and Resonators, suddenly felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Carlotta’s move.

The arrangement of cards in this Battle Card art... why was it so similar to Layla’s?

Melissa stood among the crowd, staring strangely at Carlotta. Once, at a celebrity gathering, she had challenged Layla to a battle between card magic practitioners. She suddenly knew Layla well.

Because the memory was so vivid, even now, as Carlotta merely displayed her card combat techniques, Melissa detected a strong sense of familiarity just from the placement of each card.

Different card magic practitioners placed their cards differently, everyone had unique habits.

Yet with Carlotta, the number of cards, their positions, and every other aspect gave Melissa an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.

"Could this Carlotta White possibly be Miss Layla Shirley?"

Melissa was stunned.

The other celebrities nearby, upon Melissa’s words, instantly heard frozen. They were naturally no strangers to Layla Shirley, another celebrity.

But how could these two be the same person?

At that moment, someone who had clashed with Amelia spoke up, "That Amelia Fenwick is said to practice memory magic. And the methods used by the former Mary, I can’t recall them any other way, they were definitely memory magic."

Mary Shirley was the identity Amelia had disguised herself.

On the surface, that identity and Carlotta’s were supposed to be sisters.

After many people said the same thing, the celebrities looked again at Carlotta and Amelia, and the more they stared, the more they resembled the former Shirley sisters.

"No wonder such a powerful pair of sisters suddenly appeared in the world. So this is their true origin?"

Sandra Sanchez murmured softly.

She was here too, ranked third on the celebrity list.

Ronan Jefferson, ranked second on the celebrity list, smiled wryly, "Truly someone whose limits are impossible to see."

At this moment, the power Carlotta displayed was especially terrifying, her genius level astonishing everyone. Even compared to the former Moon, she was no less impressive.

No, that statement wasn’t even accurate, because Carlotta is the Moon!

Ronan and Sandra had both personally witnessed Carlotta killing Lucas inside the Tower of Babel. Back then, they already knew the one who acted was Moon.

Previously, Carlotta had already used the technique "Goddess of War," which many recognized, and news of her killing Lucas had already spread widely.

Carlotta is the Moon!

This information had already begun circulating within small circles.

Many still didn’t know this, such as the other celebrities nearby who hadn’t witnessed Carlotta killing Lucas, so they hadn’t considered this possibility.

At this moment, Sienna Reeves, who had once been challenged by Carlotta, couldn’t help but exclaim, "Layla... no, Carlotta is truly terrifying. It’s unbelievable that someone still a Peak tier Resonator is fighting against two Peak tier Weavers. This level of genius, perhaps even Moon couldn’t surpass it?"

Sandra looked at Sienna and said with a chuckle, "Could it be possible that Carlotta is Moon?"

"What?"

Hearing Sandra’s words, many people nearby turned their gazes over, looking extremely astonished, almost thinking they’d heard wrong.

Ronan followed up, "That’s right. Carlotta is the Moon. When she killed Lucas Castello, the witnesses understood immediately, she was Moon."

The gathered celebrities were all shocked, completely unable to believe Carlotta could be connected to that Moon.

But back in Swanport, wasn’t Moon only a Peak tier Listener? How could she suddenly become a Peak tier Resonator?

Someone raised this question, thinking Carlotta couldn’t possibly be Moon, otherwise, her rank progression speed would be absurdly fast!

In response, someone nearby said, "Didn’t someone mention earlier that Carlotta White was wanted in the Wendell Empire? The warrant clearly stated she was a fifth-tier apprentice. But look at her now, what rank is she at?"

At these words, a large area fell silent.

A fifth-tier apprentice back then had now become a Peak tier Resonator. Therefore, it wasn’t strange at all for her to have appeared in the interim as Moon.

Carlotta truly is the Moon!

This news rapidly spread outward, centered around the celebrities.

While Carlotta fiercely battled against Golden Lion Rodrigo and Elisa, stories about her began to circulate widely, discovered by many.

Among them, the revelation that Carlotta was Moon caused the greatest shock. Many, upon hearing it, first refused to believe it. But after seeing the evidence and confirmation Carlotta was indeed Moon, they could only stare in disbelief.

Moon’s feats in Swanport had stunned the entire Northern Continent. Who didn’t know her?

Besides, Moon had another identity that particularly drew attention, she was ranked first on Sky Island!

That achievement had earned Carlotta the Stellar Workshop. Although others didn’t know its exact function, it didn’t stop millions of people from coveting it.

After all, the third-place prize was an alchemical ship. Someone possessing such a vessel could even fight against Weavers, how absurd was that?

The second-place prize was a floating castle. Its unique levitating property was revolutionary in alchemical history, and the floating castle itself possesses the terrifying ability to single-handedly kill Weavers.

So many people became curious: what kind of capabilities must the Starwork Atelier possess to surpass the floating castle and claim first place?

The more incomprehensible it was, the more people fantasized about it, wishing they could seize the Starwork Atelier immediately to study it thoroughly.

"Unbelievable. It’s actually her."

As the news spread, many people looked up at Carlotta with exceptionally complex expressions.

This young girl was amazed the entire Island One.

And clearly, even if she lost this battle, she would still continue to shock the entire Bass Archipelago, and even the whole world!

And... would she really lose?

Many looked up, stunned by the fierce battle unfolding in the sky.

Carlotta fought two opponents alone, without falling behind. Wielding the Rose cross in her hand, though merely a strange artifact, it shone brilliantly in her grip.

Goddess of Harvest, Goddess of War, Goddess of Wisdom!

Carlotta unleashed these three offensive techniques one after another. Although she couldn’t quickly defeat the two before her, she still single-handedly suppressed them, shocking everyone.
