Chapter 146: A New Twist, A New Beginning

When Fulade shifted his gaze and saw a tall, slender, slightly gaunt, pretty woman in silver armor, a flash of astonishment appeared on Fulade's face.

The woman's expression was complex, carrying an indescribable emotion, part nervous, part lingering sorrow, and seemed to include a hint of relief.

"Freya."

A voice suddenly sounded from in front of him, and Fulade was already standing before Freya.

The two stared at each other for a long time; suddenly the atmosphere turned eerie.

While Bai Xue and the others felt surprised by this and grew curious about the relationship between the two.

Freya was the first to break the silence.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye back then!?" Freya's tone was cold, but her eyes were extremely complex.

There seemed to be a trace of hatred, a trace of lingering sorrow, and also a trace of subconscious nervousness.

Although they had only spent a short time together then, Fulade had left such a deep impression on Freya that she thought of him every night in the quiet.

She couldn't understand why Fulade had left without a word, why he... abandoned her! Especially when she most needed comfort and support.

Elsa's death and Fulade's silent departure became the final straw that crushed her.

After that, not only did her temperament change drastically, becoming extremely sensitive, but she also sneered at the notion of love.

Although Freya harbored lingering sorrow and resentment toward Fulade, she could not bring herself to truly hate him.

Later, when Freya learned that Fulade was the King of Darkness, she still avoided confronting him because of tangled emotions.

Deep down, wasn't she also trying to keep a sliver of hope?

Seeing Fulade again now, Freya could no longer control her emotions and wanted to know why he had abandoned her without a word.

"Ravenna, didn't you tell him the reason?" Fulade couldn't have imagined that Ravenna had already, at some point, contacted his sister.

"But... why does it feel like Freya is so emotional toward me?" Fulade thought, slightly puzzled.

Hearing Fulade's retort, Freya's originally fierce and hard attitude instantly stalled.

Her eyes flickered uneasily; for a moment she seemed to return to the years ago when she was with Fulade.

"What does my sister have to do with it?" Freya continued, lifting her head and puffing her chest.

She forced her fierce demeanor to persist, yet her tone softened unconsciously.

Resentful of her own inadequacy, she heard Fulade's mental voice.

"Back then, it wasn't that I left without saying goodbye, but that…"

"What!?" Freya gasped, then her expression brightened, she clutched Fulade's arm tightly, and a single hot tear fell from her cheek.

"Calm down, would I deceive you, you foolish woman."

He gently brushed a strand of hair away from Freya's forehead, speaking softly.

"Really, really, I… I don't know how to express my feelings."

"Thank you, Fulade, thank you." Freya's eyes brimmed with hot tears, and she stammered emotionally.

Upon learning the cause, Freya realized she had completely misunderstood Fulade.

She also hadn't expected that her child, little Elsa, was still alive!

Overcome with emotion, the feelings she had suppressed for years suddenly erupted.

She rose onto her toes and rushed to kiss Fulade, as if to unleash all the longing she had held back.

Feeling Freya's passion, Fulade did not hold back.

The intense embrace caused their lips to become misshapen at that moment.

The Demon Hunter Knights under the Ice Snow Witch stared in disbelief with wide eyes.

In the Ice Snow Kingdom, the Ice Snow Witch had always been a cold, unflinching queen; never had she seen such childish antics from her daughter.

Consequently, everyone was left speechless, especially the two level‑one Demon Hunter Knights, Ailike and Sara, who secretly harbored feelings for each other and were both shocked and excited.

Even Bai Xue and the others, upon first seeing the Ice Snow Witch, were surprised enough to widen their eyes.

A brief pause.

Fulade proactively pushed the overly excited Freya aside.

This was not a time for romance.

The pushed‑away Freya first looked stunned, then blushed, perhaps realizing her lapse; though she quickly suppressed it, a subtle change was still clearly visible.

After suppressing her embarrassment, Freya regained her cold, indifferent demeanor, only when looking at Fulade did a faint softness flicker.

Her cold eyes scanned the surroundings.

It seemed the ruthless Ice Snow Queen had returned, and endless pressure surged in her heart.

It seemed the recent events were merely an illusion; the Demon Hunter Squad led by Ailike and Sara fell silent, their breath held.

The Ice Snow Queen's authority had been ingrained in them since childhood; they did not want to become the subject of gossip.

Even Bai Xue, Geleit and the others pretended nothing had happened, making a show of looking around.

Only then did Fulade realize Freya was a second‑tier Witch in terms of life level! Though only newly entered the second tier, it was still remarkable, and he also thought of Ravenna and little Elsa.

Little Elsa, at only six years old, already displayed impressive Ice Snow Talent; perhaps it was hereditary.

It seemed the Ravenna sisters' bloodline was far from ordinary! Fulade mused silently.

Freya was quite satisfied with the reactions of those around her, her expression aloof.

Turning back to Fulade, her cold eyes carried a hint of warmth, as if about to speak, a small hand involuntarily brushed her slightly swollen belly.

"Sss—!"

Just as Freya was about to speak, another powerful aura suddenly surged from the Space Rift.

At the same time, a piercing, terrified screech rang out.

"No, Travis, save me!"

A faint wave of mental energy arrived, a slightly panicked female voice.

Bad, there's a situation!

Fulade's face changed; without waiting for Freya to react, he first stepped before Bug King Beerus, and without much thought directly placed the defenseless Beerus inside his law arm ring.

As an auxiliary enslaving‑type law artifact, given Beerus's severely wounded, near‑death state, it could not damage the law arm ring.

Moreover, the law arm ring has a subtle enslaving effect; after a while one cannot speak, and instead a Bug King‑level slave creature appears!

Watching Fulade soar upward and rush toward the valley rift, Freya only had time to send a voice: "After the war, I have something to tell you."

Hearing Freya's words, a sudden enlightenment, an indescribable complex feeling rose gradually in Fulade's heart.

In the dim, it seemed this world was about to give birth to a little creature linked by blood to him.

The figure flying toward the valley Space Rift suddenly stalled; before he could think further, the sudden turn of events in the valley captured all his thoughts.

An expression of disbelief appeared on Fulade's face at that moment.

At the Space Rift, a massive figure, not at all inferior to Bug King Beerus, as it was about to descend into the Dark World, was suddenly covered by a black fluid creature emitting an evil, bizarre aura, which enveloped its huge body.

No matter how that female Green Blade Bug Race struggled or resisted, it seemed to be of no avail.

The black fluid covering its body seemed to have its own consciousness, extending countless dense black tentacles that rapidly spread over every part of the bug race strongman's body.

Gradually, that female Green Blade Bug Race, whose strength was at mid‑Level Three terrifying power, found its massive body increasingly out of its control, and its struggling grew weaker.

Just as that female's huge insect eyes slowly fell into despair, a green lightning flash suddenly streaked across.

It was a green blade shadow with a terrifying sword motion; its attack strength nearly reached the demi‑god realm! (End of chapter)
