"It's an illusion! It's an illusion! Everyone calm down! The other side may have a magician, he cast an illusion on us!!" Lashina roared, looking left and right. She shouted wildly: "This is the starport of Apokolips, it won't rain here, and there are no other celestial bodies around. Everyone calm down, have you forgotten your promise to Lord Darkseid yet?!"

She didn't even realize the panic in her tone.

Because she heard it, she heard some whispers, just like the raindrops falling into the starport, dark, delicate, corrupt, as if they were going to drill into her heart and brain, making her completely obey the control of madness.

Lashina looked up abruptly. She saw the boy in the opposite team lowering his head, his face buried in the shadows, but his mouth kept moving.

Anger arose in Lashina's heart. She thought Little Bruce must be chanting a spell that could create illusions. She must let him know how powerful she was.

The long whip danced, electricity flashed, Lashina used all her strength to make a move, and the long whip rolled toward Little Bruce.

Her mind was full of bloody fantasies, and she couldn't wait to see this fragile human boy cut in half by her powerful strength, blood spraying out, and she would take his head to show her loyalty to Lord Darkseid.

In Lashina's field of vision, this boy seemed to be scared stupid, without any intention of dodging at all. The moment the long whip touched his shoulder, it tore his arm, electricity scorched his body, and screams echoed in her ears, but the pleasure in Lashina's heart grew stronger and stronger.

A fragile human mage dared to show off in front of Lord Darkseid's territory. This is the price they must pay. More corpses, more blood, more, more, still more!

Lashina's heart roared, anger was like a poisonous snake gnawing at her internal organs, and thoughts of blood and violence squeezed her remaining sanity out of her brain.

Continue to exert force, the long whip danced, and all the hidden weapons hit the enemy's vital points with strange angles and postures. More powerful, more chaotic, fall into the feast of slaughter!

The cold wind blew the smell of blood into Lashina's nose, and her trembling arms hung down weakly. Before the fatigue of full-scale slaughter could surge from her body, Lashina took a deep breath. In the field of vision covered with thin mist, the blood and stumps all over the ground made her feel the satisfaction brought by the supreme victory glory.

"Look, Lord Darkseid, I have done my best to be loyal to you." Lashina murmured to herself with a smile: "Those bugs who dare to provoke your majesty, all got the end they deserve!"

Another gust of cold wind blew across her cheeks, and after the flames of anger were extinguished, the bit of cold air in the starport also made her feel cold.

Suddenly, Lashina's field of vision blurred, transparent ripples bloomed at the edge of her field of vision. In a daze, she saw an expression of fear. Why are there still living people? Didn't she kill all the enemies?

Wrong! Wrong! Lashina's own voice sounded in her mind. Weren't there only a few humans? Why is there so much blood and stumps on the ground?

Oh, Lashina suddenly understood. It must be that she didn't pay attention to the range when she made a move, and dragged those lowly ones in. It must be like this. The extra blood and stumps on the ground are those lowly civilians.

It doesn't matter at all, Lashina thought. There are as many lowly ones as you want. Usually, when she performs a patrol mission, there may be hundreds or thousands of bugs blocking the way under the guards' feet. No high-level Apokolips will blame her for how many lowly ones she killed, but on the contrary, she thwarted the human conspiracy and offered enough blood and destruction to Lord Darkseid. She deserves a promotion.

Suddenly, Lashina heard a burst of noise again, like screaming, crying, and cursing. Lashina felt something wrong. How could anyone dare to curse her? She had become the first general who could call the wind and rain under Darkseid's command, and even Desaad, who was infinitely favored in the past, had to kneel on the ground and call her "Lord."

The field of vision blurred again. When the water-like ripples rippled, Lashina touched her eyes with her hand. She looked down at the rainwater stained on her fingertips, and when she looked up again, the front was still a river of blood, but those charred stump fragments that were electrocuted were wearing the armor of starport guards.

"No... no!!!!!" Lashina screamed.

She couldn't accept everything she saw in front of her at all. How could she attack the starport guards? Weren't the ones she tore into pieces that group of weak humans?!

In another blink of an eye, more rainwater dripped from her eyes, and the field of vision became clearer. She saw a few surviving lowly ones crying and shouting at the edge of the room, and on the railing opposite, an Apokolips guard who had lost his lower body but had extraordinary vitality was watching her with hateful and fearful eyes, cursing something in his mouth.

"Lord Darkseid... Lord Desaad, will not let you go, traitor... traitor..."

Lashina let out a harsh scream, and fear completely drowned her heart.

Lashina belongs to the Female Furies. The Female Furies is the most loyal close guard trained by Granny Goodness for Darkseid. Each member of this is skilled, and incomparably loyal. This loyalty is exchanged for constant torture and brainwashing.

The years of training under Granny Goodness were the most fearful memories in Lashina's heart. That vicious old hag used the most cold-blooded and cruel means to plant seeds of never betraying in the hearts of every member of the Female Furies, which was more stubborn and firm than the brainwashing received by the lowly ones affected by the Apokolips field.

Lashina, who realized what she had done, completely collapsed, but just at this time, she felt a drop of rainwater drip on her eyelids, and a call came from behind.

"Lord Lashina, Lord Lashina, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and solve these humans, they actually dare to cast magic in the Apokolips starport..."

Lashina turned her head abruptly, only to see an angry guard standing behind her. She looked up, the dark clouds were still that piece of dark clouds, the moon behind the dark clouds still appeared and disappeared, and the cold and lingering fine rain accumulated one after another mirror-like puddles on the smooth metal floor.

Humans, right, humans, Lashina gritted her teeth and looked, what she saw was still Little Bruce's action of lowering his head and chanting. She thought, it must be the illusion woven by humans just now. As long as she kills that weird human little boy, she can get rid of this terrible illusion.

This time Lashina learned to be smart. She didn't wave the electric whip for large-scale attacks again, but took out a dagger from her waist and rushed toward Bruce like a swift lightning bolt. She intended to solve this culprit accurately. If it was still an illusion, it wouldn't cause too much damage.

Little Bruce disappeared suddenly. What appeared in front of her was that old woman's face that appeared in her nightmares day and night. Granny Goodness stood in front of her and said to her: "Lashina, I am too disappointed in you. You failed to withstand the test of illusion and betrayed Lord Darkseid. Your loyalty is still not stable, and before was your last chance!"

Lashina froze in place. This Granny Goodness in front of her was too realistic. She could even see every wrinkle she was familiar with. The hand holding the dagger hesitated.

Yes, Lashina remembered. Granny Goodness had also used brainwashing equipment to make them fall into illusions to accept tests. In the illusion, they didn't remember who they were. The only thing they could think of was to be loyal to Lord Darkseid. In the illusion, she experienced countless battles and interrogations. Did she fail?

Lashina remembered that she failed. She was affected by the mage's illusion in a combat mission, killed her teammates, and betrayed Lord Darkseid. She knew what the consequences of doing so were. She would be executed in the most cruel way, and her body would also be thrown to Granny Goodness's Hound Squad.

No, she didn't want to get this ending, even if she had to die, she couldn't die in a painful way, or this vicious old hag wouldn't let her die at all. She would dig out her brain, throw it to Dr. Chaos's laboratory, and let that pervert use mental control to constantly torture her in her dreams, without end.

Fear made Lashina tremble all over. She was afraid of such an ending, but she still had a chance to change now, couldn't change the result of failure, but could let herself get a decent death.

Lashina looked down at the dagger in her hand, as if seeing the blood light that was about to be stained on it, but just at this time, she felt a wetness on her eyelids. From the reflection of the dagger mirror, she saw a drop of rainwater fall on her eyes.

"Illusion! It's an illusion! It's trying to force me to commit suicide!!!" Lashina roared, she tried to wipe the rainwater on her eyelids with her hand, turned her head left and right in a panic, wanting to find the flaw in the illusion.

No flaws, no exits, only layers of dark clouds, the moon appearing and disappearing, and the cold rain that destroys the bones.

After this, every round of illusion became a real memory. Sometimes she went crazy and betrayed Darkseid in the mission, sometimes she was executed by Granny Goodness and sent to Dr. Chaos's laboratory, sometimes Dr. Chaos experimented with various tortures on her, and sometimes she recalled this failed combat mission in the torture, and that rainwater that dripped into her eyes.

Finally, Lashina went crazy.

Or rather, she finally recognized the truth, distinguished what was real and what was illusion, and understood how to break the illusion.

Wiping the rainwater on her eyes again, Lashina slowly knelt on the ground, inserted the dagger in her hand into her eye socket, and rawly gouged out her eyeballs.

She raised her head and looked at the sky with empty eye sockets flowing with blood, like a statue of a god abandoned in the ruins of the altar because it was not pious enough.

Suddenly, Lashina felt a wetness on her eyelids. When she went to wipe it with her hand, she only saw her own blood on the back of her hand.

Lashina laughed desperately. She raised the dagger again, and this time, the sharp blade approached her neck.

Blood drops and the dagger fell into the puddle together. The sky in the water was no longer thick dark clouds and the moon hidden behind them, but shining stars.
