My Little Pony: Changelings

Chapter 280 The Storm Emperor (16)

"Listen to me, you bunch of stupid animals. You are all my captives now. You must obey my command, otherwise I will turn you into ice sculptures. Oh~ But I, a sheep, prefer to electrocute you into ashes."

The Storm King stood on the podium and spoke to the crowd of animals below, while the animals were crowded together. Even though the space around them was a little small, they did not dare to complain loudly, because their complaints had been turned into ice sculptures and placed at the door as decorations.

Seeing their timid looks, the Storm King nodded with satisfaction. When he was about to let Sapphire give a few words of acceptance speech, the Storm King found something wrong. Through the magic mask, the Storm King found that Sapphire...there was something wrong with him?

"Ahem, then I'll do it... Your Majesty, why do you look so weird?"

"That's because I think there's something wrong with you. You...are not a pony!"

The magic power scattered, and the disguise magic of the stars was dispelled by the Storm Emperor. Then the audience looked at the pony in front of them in surprise. He turned into... an old blue goat?

"Damn it, Storm King, why did you dispel my disguise!"

"Oh, it's just because I saw a strange flow of magic in you. I guess this must be what you really look like. Who are you?"

"Me? Who am I? I'm a real devil!"

Sombra and Radiant Hope, who were hiding in the ventilation duct, looked at each other. They both saw incredible looks in each other's eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's... the Yellow Devil."

"Yellow Devil? The father of monsters? Isn't that a legend?"

"No, he's not a legend. Princess Aimee talked about that in her class. Didn't you listen carefully?"

"Uh... let's not talk about this for now. We need to think carefully about what to do next."

Just two days ago, they sneaked in here under the cover of night, and as expected, just like Twilight Sparkle and the others, they encountered the Wind Devil entrenched here. Sombra and Radiant Hope escaped, but the other ponies were trapped inside.

Before they could figure out a way to save the ponies, the Storm King had successfully acquired ancient magic and quickly ruled half the world.

"I bet that the source of magic power for that stupid sheep who calls himself the Storm King is the crystal on his face. As long as we knock off his mask, we will be close to success."

"So how can we defeat him before he turns us into an ice sculpture?"

"I'm still wondering..."

As they were talking, Sombra and the others heard the noise of Storm Emperor and Star Brilliance fighting. Because of the dispute, Storm Emperor hated being deceived the most. Storm Emperor thought that the other party was using him.

"How dare you lie to me? I'm going to kill you!"

"Wait, you are killing the dog after the rabbit is dead! As long as you release my real body from the wasteland prison, I..."

"You really have a conspiracy!"

"Wait, you brainless stupid sheep!"

So, while other creatures were confused and thought that the other side was fighting among themselves, the Storm Emperor asked General Gale to deal with him. Seeing General Gale who was extremely happy, the Stars retreated step by step and said.

"Why is my daughter so violent?"

"Hmph, old man, I've had enough of you."

At the same time, in the distant Taiga snowfield, Qunxing Huanghuang, who was shoveling snow, suddenly felt something. He looked up to the south and found that his clone was destroyed?

"What's wrong, Starry Sky?"

Sorace asked in confusion, but Qunxing Huanghuang didn't say anything, just shook his head and spoke to Sorace.

"I told you long ago that I would smash Fikelao into pieces, but you just wouldn't listen. Now, the happy gathering has turned into compulsory labor. Look around you."

"Well, the stars are shining. I can't predict the future. Let's keep digging. There's still a part of the evil pool that's buried."

At the same time, after a long journey, Twilight Sparkle and Strife successfully arrived near Mount Aris, and then they saw the endless frozen surface.

"What happened here?"

"I think there must have been a war."

Fenzheng looked at the falling airships and a lot of odds and ends around him, and he understood what had happened at a glance. At this time, Adachi also flew over holding the statue of Queen Novo.

Because the sea was frozen, she had to carry the statue of Novo. Likewise, both sides discovered each other's existence.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to find Queen Novo. / I'm here to save Queen Novo."

"What do you mean by saying this?"

After explaining to each other, Twilight Sparkle understood what happened here. Looking at the statue of Queen Novo in front of her, combined with the surrounding environment, the behavior of the storm soldiers, and the blizzard weather, Twilight Sparkle sat down on the ground.

"It's over. It's really over. The Storm King's plan has succeeded. We are too late! Everything is meaningless now."

Seeing Twilight Sparkle like this, Fate and Adachi looked at each other. Just when Adachi was about to say something, a voice sounded from the side.

"What? Are you giving up now?"

"Lazy!"

When Twilight Sparkle heard the familiar voice, she immediately looked back and walked over lazily, while Strife and Adachi looked confused. Are they twins?

"You have to look beyond things to see what they are, why they are, and how they are done. The answers are here."

After Lazy stuffed a book into Twilight Sparkle's hand, he left without waiting for Twilight Sparkle to say anything. Twilight Sparkle held the book and thought about what Lazy said and why he said that.

“Is the doctrine of salvation in it?”

Twilight Sparkle looked at the book in her hoof titled "How to Beat a Downtrodden Dog" and her eyes twitched. Then she opened the book and was speechless.

"What's the use of this!"

Twilight Sparkle couldn't help but yell, then hit her head with the book. Suddenly she thought of something, opened the book again, and took out a bottle of liquor from it.

"Kiss of death? Screw it!"

Twilight Sparkle opened the cork, then tilted her head back and began to drink. Although she choked several times, she still refused to give up. Adachi and Dissension on the side tried to stop her in a hurry, but they found that they couldn't even pull Twilight Sparkle away.

"Hiccup~"

After Twilight Sparkle burped, she smashed the empty glass bottle on the ground, then stood up dizzy. Looking at the world spinning around her, she suddenly spoke to them.

"I have a plan!"

At the same time, the creatures in the Abyssal Mines were ordered by the Storm King to dig cells underground because there was not enough space. It was ironic that they had to build a place to imprison themselves, but none of them objected, because not only did their monarch turn into an ice sculpture, but the animals that objected had also turned into ice sculptures.

So the excavation work was carried out amid the sighs of the animals, and the Storm Emperor put forward various suggestions that had been mentioned by the Stars before, and proposed various empty promises and rewards.

Moreover, the Storm Emperor, whose head has been blinded by magic, has even taken a series of crazy measures against his subordinates in order to obtain more magic power in order to maintain his rule.
