Sooner or later, the clone will run out of Indestructible Matter and will perish.\", Liora judged, though her movements didn’t pause for even half a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlling the clone to entangle two of the statues, she teleported beside the last of them and used the same method as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devil Rune after Devil Rune was arranged neatly on the bronze statue’s body, covering its entire surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With previous experience, she was now even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within only a few exchanges, the formation had been completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bright light flickered, and the next moment, this bronze statue suffered the same fate as the previous one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overwhelming teleporting force arrived and dragged it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the opponent seemed to have learned from the end of its companion and brandished its weapon to smooth out the space, its struggle was ultimately meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a formation containing every bit of knowledge that Liora had since her birth, it was impossible for a mindless statue, relying solely on its might, to break it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, one of the three statues previously entangled by Liora’s clone was dealt with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, the other two soon followed the same fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even quicker than before, the two bodies took action at the same time and arranged two different formations, banishing the statues to some unknown place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two bodies only exchanged a brief glance afterwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharing the same mind, they didn’t need to communicate. Or rather, the real Liora had absolute control over her split body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under her command, the two immediately rushed towards the other battlefields.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light of formations being activated one after another was reflected in the Zerg Queen’s pitch-black eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting within the dark void, she stared at the scene with a confused expression, her teeth clattering with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t understand what went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this palace supposedly made by an invincible powerhouse?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could the trial have such obvious loopholes?!\", she couldn’t help but smash the space in front of her, wondering whether the palace had betrayed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she soon took a deep breath and regained her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that passing the three trials had given her partial control over the inheritance palace, and she could now subtly manipulate it, such as changing the trial difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a certain way, she had become the new \"judge\" for the inheritance, waiting for the true inheritor to arrive and take the palace away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as that inheritor didn’t arrive, she had nothing to fear. Moreover, as long as she advanced, she would turn into the real inheritor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Passing the second trial is nothing.\", the Zerg Queen tried to convince herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s the third trial that’s the most difficult.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Judging by this woman’s aura, she is not too old. If anything, she is quite young. Not even a thousand years old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How strong could her mind possibly be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third trial was already nearly impossible to complete. Now that the difficulty had been set to the highest, the word \"nearly\" ought to disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the information that the Zerg Queen obtained, one would need to possess the talent to reach that powerhouse’s realm to pass this test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how was it possible?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, the Zerg Queen’s tense nerves relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She ignored the central scene, afraid that watching Liora would make her even more furious, and turned to look at the other images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the Commander’s subordinate had perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the two women accompanying Liora were doing quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were both still at the first trial, they had made a shocking amount of progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alpha had already solved 10% of that puzzle, while Assira had almost reached 20%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a terrifying rate of progress would have shocked the Zerg Queen if it were in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, these two women showed the potential to complete the first trial within a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, having witnessed Liora’s earlier passing, she now didn’t care about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued watching the two women solve the puzzle, her face calm and her mind free of any emotional fluctuations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the now-empty planet, Liora retracted her clone and breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the fight had not lasted for long, five percent of the clone’s Indestructible Matter had been consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this was acceptable for Liora. It was a loss she was willing to suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she watched the final bronze statue be teleported away, the familiar voice rang in her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Challenger 19024 has completed the second trial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Difficulty: Highest.

Is it the owner of the inheritance palace, or the Zerg Queen?\", she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, she shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now is not the time to think about it. I’d better choose the reward first.\", she whispered and raised her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes landed on the seven-colored lights in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her consciousness moved as she did her best to try to discern the feeling that each of them gave her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1187,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.948Z",1,"novelbin.me","69c79f442c305aa60fdaeb08e2b17bf7756e4dff191f2bd0fc3e1335c578cf3a","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-404","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-402",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
