Chapter 361: Capturing the Young Angel

Ye Bai looked up and saw it was Zhubinuo and the others.

The lower half of Doctor Zhubinuo's body was completely charred, and the wings that had originally grown out had also vanished into ashes amidst the explosion.

He revealed his original appearance.

When he saw Ye Bai, he was slightly surprised.

However, his gaze quickly fell upon Ailisha in his arms.

Ailisha opened her eyes and was looking at him with a face full of affection.

A ripple appeared in her azure blue pupils.

The corners of her eyes were filled with tears.

She was severely injured, and it was precisely because she was so severely injured that her consciousness was able to temporarily break free from the manipulation of the Old God Relic.

Ailisha's lower body had disappeared entirely, and only one arm remained.

"Zhubinuo, is that you?"

Ailisha looked at Zhubinuo's incomparably weathered face.

She struggled to lift her hand and rested it on Doctor Zhubinuo's beard.

"I am so sorry, I let you live in a daze for such a long time."

"I thought of you every single moment, but I was being manipulated by the Old God Relic, and my body was not under my own control at all."

"Every minute and every second I spent here was agonizing."

"In fact, I had broken free from the seal long ago."

"It is just that I was imprisoned within the Lake Bottom Research Institute."

"Zhubinuo, I miss you so much."

This sentence of missing him made Zhubinuo lose his focus for a moment; he choked back a sob and replied, "I miss you too, Ailisha."

"Every minute and every second that I have lost you, I have missed you immensely."

"Whenever late night came, I would guiltily ask myself, is research really that important?"

"It caused me to lose my beloved; Ailisha, I have failed you."

"If it weren't for the schemes of those people, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"I promised you back then that once the steel giant dragon was completely finished, I would resign, find a secluded little town, and live the life of an ordinary person."

"Then we would give birth to the fruit of our love together, just like that, day after day, year after year, until we grew completely old."

Doctor Zhubinuo choked with sobs.

"But I didn't do any of it; I am simply not a good husband, unable to give you a wonderful life."

"On the day you mutated, my heart completely died."

"So, I spared nothing to sacrifice my own Soul, selling it to the young angel, just to gain the chance to enter this place."

"Ailisha, as long as I can see you, I am content."

Doctor Zhubinuo's wish was fulfilled; he was already content to be able to see his wife after she had regained her senses.

He dared not hope for too much, fearing that this was just like a bubble that would burst with a light touch.

"Ailisha, forgive me, I want to let your Soul find release."

"Let us head toward the stars and the sea together."

She had been transformed into an Exotic Beast by the Old God Relic, and her only weakness was her heart.

As long as her heart was fine, no matter how serious the injuries she sustained, Ailisha could recover.

Once Ailisha recovered, her consciousness would disappear again, and there was even a possibility of being assimilated by the Old God Relic.

Doctor Zhubinuo wanted Ailisha to die in human form.

This was the greatest respect he could give Ailisha.

"Goodbye, Ailisha!"

Doctor Zhubinuo reached out his hand and pierced through Ailisha's four hearts.

This was her fatal point.

Fresh blood gushed out from Ailisha's mouth and flowed down the corners of her lips.

She had lived her life in a daze; that was enough.

Having her beloved partner accompany her to head toward the stars and the sea together, this was also quite good.

At this moment, she could finally be considered to have obtained complete release.

As for Doctor Zhubinuo, since his time in contact with the Old God Relic was shorter, he was still able to control his own thoughts.

Ailisha slowly closed her eyes, and at this moment, Doctor Zhubinuo's gaze fell upon Ye Bai.

He looked at the steel giant dragon behind Ye Bai.

"This is a great guy." Zhubinuo had already shattered his own Heart Core at this time.

The eye on his head was pierced by a stone, and black liquid flowed out.

The Old God Relic had suffered heavy damage.

"Ye Bai, you are an outstanding researcher."

Doctor Zhubinuo struggled to take the necklace off from his chest and threw it to Ye Bai.

"This is actually a hard drive, and it contains the research results of my entire life."

"I hope you can inherit my results and benefit humanity."

"Inside, there is information related to the Indescribable Creature and the Old God Relic that I researched."

Doctor Zhubinuo's voice had already become very weak; every time he spoke a sentence, he had to gasp for air heavily.

"But I am from the Yan Country, not from the Beautiful Country; wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to take this?"

Zhubinuo Boshi shook his head, using all his remaining strength to speak: "I have told you one thing before."

"Science has no borders."

"The activation code for the iron dragon is zero-six-one."

"Seven-nine-eight."

After finishing, Zhubinuo Boshi looked at Ailisha affectionately, grabbed her hand, and gradually stopped breathing.

At this moment, a piece of charcoal beneath Zhubinuo suddenly moved.

It was seen shaking off the charcoal gently, transforming into a young angel covered in numerous wounds.

Its wings were twisted and pressed tightly against its back.

The young angel split its large mouth open and smiled.

"What a pitiful person."

"But in the end, he still found his true love."

At this time, pink air currents emerged from Zhubinuo Boshi and his wife.

They condensed in mid-air, forming a pink crystal.

It looked at the pink crystal gushing from their bodies, a look of determination in its eyes.

Judging by its appearance, it seemed to have been looking forward to this for a long time.

"You should recognize me, right?"

"I possess a portion of Zhubinuo's memories."

"Young angels, in fact, cannot be contracted by humans."

A trace of disdain appeared in the young angel's eyes.

"When I was summoned to Blue Star by Zhubinuo using black magic, I even wanted to kill Zhubinuo."

"Who told him to summon me from Tianjie."

"The seven emotions and six desires of this world would defile my holy wings."

"But I could feel the hatred and the hidden love within Zhubinuo."

"That longing that transcended time and space, so I changed my mind."

"I took the initiative to contract with Zhubinuo, with the sole purpose of obtaining this pink Love Crystal."

"Fortunately, I bet correctly."

"The love between Zhubinuo and his wife was enough to condense the Love Crystal."

A faint halo appeared on the young angel's body, and its wounds recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its mouth was wide open, filled with sharp teeth.

Its twisted wings also gradually recovered.

Wings are actually the source of an angel's power.

Looking at the incongruous appearance of the angel, Ye Bai muttered to himself.

Rather than calling it an angel, it would be more accurate to say it resembles a demon.

"Is your heart telling you right now that I look more like a demon?"

"Actually, angels and demons are both high-dimensional beings of the same rank; perhaps we were both eggs initially, both products of the rules. It is only because of the environment we are in that we hatch into a young angel or a young demon."

"But without exception, both angels and demons advance rapidly through slaughter."

"It is just that angels appear more subtle; they never slaughter in front of people."

"Demons are more straightforward, which is why they can make humans tremble with fear."

The young angel laughed coldly.

"The moment Zhubinuo contracted with me, he became my puppet; his life was under my control."

"Some of his knowledge was shared with him by me."

"Zhubinuo's memories were also partially replaced by me."

The young angel flapped its wings and flew into the air.

It looked at the massive iron dragon, a look of triumph appearing at the corners of its mouth.

"According to my plan, Zhubinuo would meet his wife, commit suicide at the final moment, and ultimately give birth to the Love Crystal of no regrets."

"And for me, a young angel, to advance and become a Benevolent Angel who guides the world with divine love, I needed the Love Crystal to evolve."

"Fortunately, my scheme succeeded."

At this time, the Love Crystal had completely condensed into shape; it was a pink heart-shaped crystal.

Just as the young angel opened its mouth wide, wanting to swallow the Love Crystal in one gulp, it bit into thin air.

When it looked up, it discovered that this pink crystal had actually appeared in Ye Bai's hand.

"So this is the thing."

"This should also be called selfless love, right?"

Ye Bai said with a smile.

He had once obtained one, but its volume was only a quarter of this crystal.

Ye Bai could feel the immense energy contained within this crystal.

However, Ye Bai put the pink crystal into his Pet Beast Space right in front of the young angel.

"Give it back to me, you despicable and shameless human."

"You low-class creature, you are not worthy of possessing such a precious item at all."

"Your hands will defile this treasure."

The young angel cursed and swore.

It was extremely furious at this moment.

The thing it had plotted for so long had actually been snatched away by the human before it.

This truly made the young angel both ashamed and annoyed.

"I'll give you a chance to organize your words."

"After all, young angels are indeed very rare."

"Taking you to Yan Country for an exhibition should be quite nice."

Upon hearing this, the young angel immediately trembled with rage.

Angels are hailed as the incarnations of the Light God.

No matter which rank an angel is, it can become a vessel for the Light God.

To be exhibited and gawked at like an animal is something unacceptable to a proud angel.

It would consider this a blasphemy against the Light God.

To kill the body and strike at the heart—this is truly killing the body and striking at the heart.

"Human, you have thoroughly angered me."

The young angel was extremely furious; it was the one with the best aptitude among angels.

If it were to grow up, it could even grow into a twelve-winged angel.

The young angel did not want to evolve step by step, which is why it plotted for the Love Crystal, wanting to quickly evolve into a Benevolent Angel and possess powerful combat strength.

One must know that with only one pair of wings, its strength was already comparable to a seventh-rank Exotic Beast.

If it grew another pair of wings, it could even contend with a peak eighth-rank Exotic Beast.

The more wings an angel has, the more terrifying its strength becomes.

Ye Bai summoned his Pet Beast.

The Myriad-Change Butterfly transformed into six True Light Goddess butterflies in a very short time, and they arranged themselves in different positions to trap the young angel within a Brightness Barrier.

Just now, Ye Bai checked the young angel's data and discovered that it could not break through the Brightness Barrier.

This was the Light God's Guard for the young angel.

Yet, this had become a cage imprisoning the young angel.

Otherwise, Ye Bai truly would have had no way at all to deal with this young angel capable of Space Transfer and space Cut.

The moment the barrier appeared, the young angel suddenly felt its power rapidly draining away.

"What on earth is happening? Why is my power dropping so fast?"

The young angel slammed frantically into the barrier, but it could never break the barrier open.

At this moment, Ye Bai smiled.

"Actually, I am very interested in you."

"I have wanted to try dissecting a creature like you, but I have never had the opportunity."

"Now that you have delivered yourself to my door, I have this opportunity."

Ye Bai looked at the young angel with a scorching gaze.

He had long wanted to dissect an angel with a Surgical Knife.

However, capturing a living angel is truly too difficult.

After many angels die, they all turn into light and vanish.

The samples left for humans to study are few and far between.

The young angel only felt a chill run down its spine.

It had a vague, ominous premonition that this human truly wanted to dissect it.

Damn it, how did it become meat on a chopping block?

The young angel was extremely furious at this moment.

But it was powerless to resist.

"Let me go, I promise you I will not seek revenge."

"I swear in the name of the Light God."

"I still have the memories of Zhubinuo in my mind, which can help you obtain the Steel Dragon."

"I also understand various demons and Tianjie creatures; I can answer your questions for free."

The young angel made many empty promises.

But Ye Bai remained unmoved.

This young angel was simply too dangerous.

It must be kept right under his own nose.

It would be best to sign a contract with the young angel to firmly keep this Pet Beast under his control.

"You had better save your energy."

"A young angel should be able to sell for a pretty good price at a black market auction."

At this moment, Ye Bai drew a golden Beast Card from his Pet Beast Space.

The Beast Card emitted a faint suction force, accompanied by a large number of golden chains gushing out.

These chains were like a fishing net, sealing off the space around the young angel.

These golden chains coiled around the young angel's barrier.

The young angel revealed a baring-teeth-and-brandishing-claws expression.

"No, how could you have a high-rank Beast Card?"

Although it could do nothing to the Brightness Barrier, the Brightness Barrier could also do nothing to it.

It can only be a contest of time, to see who can outlast whom.

The infant angel believes that once the Eight Kings recover, they will try every possible means to enter the Great Sluice Gate.

This is the infant angel's chance to escape.

But it never expected that Ye Bai would actually have a high-tier Beast Card in his hand.

Chains wrapped densely around the exterior of the Barrier, and soon the infant angel's figure was submerged by the chains.

Trapped within the True Guangming Nüshen Die's Barrier, the infant angel was completely unable to use its own power; it could only watch helplessly as it was sealed into the Beast Card.
