Chapter 602: Falling in Love with the Thunder God!

Her voice became even softer, "That pink‑haired female warrior, that sister who always wears an indifferent expression yet is incredibly gentle to her younger sister. Do you know, when she teamed up with Hua, she really gave me a lot of trouble. Their coordination was too perfect—one holding the front, the other striking from the side, and they almost forced me into a dead end."

She paused, and that smile grew even more eerie.

"Just a pity," she said, "I found some interesting stuff in the database—about Sakura's sister, that little girl called Ling?"

"Do you know how Ling died?"

Invasive Lawgiver's voice carried a strange gentleness, "She was killed by a Fire‑chasing Moth. At that time she was treated as a monster, locked up, interrogated, and finally—executed."

She let out a soft sigh, as if lamenting something beautiful.

"All I need is to recreate that scene and play it in front of Sakura once; she won't be able to hold on. That expression, that Despair of watching her dearest sister die, is truly delicious—"

Before she could finish speaking, A Xing's figure had already rushed to her front!

A Xing's Flame Gun, brimming with raging fury, thrust straight at her face, its speed so fast the purple‑black tubes didn't even have time to react!

Invasive Lawgiver's pupils narrowed slightly, her body instantly recoiled, while those tubes surged wildly, trying to block the golden figure!

But A Xing was too fast!

She weaved through that dense tube net, using her five‑second Rewind ability to anticipate each attack, and the tubes could not even brush her hem!

The Flame Gun in her hand burned ever hotter, its golden Flame almost brightening the entire night sky!

Clang—!!!

Another shot fired, this time grazing Invasive Lawgiver's cheek and leaving a shallow bloodstain on her delicate face!

Invasive Lawgiver's expression finally changed.

The change was not fear, but excitement.

She reached out to touch the bloodstain on her face, looked at the tiny crimson dot on her fingertip, and then smiled.

"Interesting."

She whispered, "Really interesting?"

She raised her hand, and those purple‑black tubes erupted instantly!

This time it wasn't a dense attack, but a massive Barrier, enveloping A Xing from all directions!

The tubes intertwined into a huge sphere, trapping A Xing tightly inside!

But the next second—

Boom—!!!

The sphere burst open from within, a massive gap forming, and golden Flame spewed out of the breach as A Xing burst through it!

Several parts of her clothing were singed, a few gray strands of hair fell loose, yet her eyes remained fixed on Invasive Lawgiver, showing no retreat!

Invasive Lawgiver looked at her, her smile becoming even more playful.

"You're really desperate."

She whispered, "But do you think that's the end?"

She suddenly lifted her hand, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly!

A Xing's vision blurred, and she found herself standing in a completely unfamiliar place—a wasteland of burning ruins, with collapsed buildings and flames filling the sky.

In the center of those ruins stood a tiny figure.

Blue‑haired, small, quiet.

Ge Lei Xiu.

She lifted her head, looked at A Xing, and her big eyes were filled with bewilderment.

"Grey sister…" her voice was soft, tinged with sobs, "It hurts so much…"

A Xing's body froze.

She knew it was fake, knew it was an illusion created by Invasive Lawgiver, but that voice, that expression, those tear‑filled eyes—

"Save me…"

The voice grew weaker, and the tiny figure began to turn transparent, dissipating like sand.

A Xing's hand trembled.

She knew it was fake.

But she still took a step forward.

With that step, countless black tubes suddenly surged from the ground, instantly coiling around her ankles!

The illusion vanished, replaced by Invasive Lawgiver's smug face.

"Oh dear, you fell for it again?"

She laughed, the tubes surged wildly, binding A Xing's limbs and fixing her whole body in mid‑air, "How cute, even knowing it's fake, you still can't help but want to get close?"

A Xing struggled, but the tubes tightened even more.

Invasive Lawgiver stepped before her, extended a hand, and gently lifted her chin.

"Do you know, this kind of feeling is the most foolish part of you humans?"

Her voice was light, yet carried a bone‑chilling cold, "You know it's meaningless, yet you still do it. You know you can't change the outcome, yet you still try. You know it's fake, yet you—"

She paused, and that smile turned exceedingly malicious.

"…still throw yourself into an illusion?"

A Xing stared at her, her golden eyes containing no fear, only endless fury.

Invasive Lawgiver looked at those eyes and suddenly laughed.

"Yes, that very gaze?"

She whispered, "Yinglin had the same gaze before she died. And Pa Duo, and Qianjie, and Mei Bi Wu Si—do you know how Mei Bi Wu Si died?"

A Xing's pupils narrowed slightly.

Invasive Lawgiver's voice became even softer, carrying a pathological delight:

"That She She, that woman with the toughest mouth, that one who plotted everything in Le Tu. She actually knew this day would come long ago, she had already prepared. She even concealed a fragment of Corrosion's power, intending to perish together with me."

She smiled, and that smile was full of contempt.

"It's just a pity, the heart still isn't ruthless enough. Do you know, she could have escaped; with her ability, she could have left before I acted. But—"

She paused, and her voice grew even more vicious:

"Ke Lai Yin. That tiny assistant, the one she cares about most. I simply disassembled Ke Lai Yin right in front of her. In an instant, she collapsed. A person so rational, yet those ignorant emotions tripped her up."

She tilted her head, her expression as if savoring something.

"How stupid. Clearly it could have been pieced back together in the end, though even then it wouldn't have survived."

A Xing's fingernails had already dug into his palm.

Blood seeped from between his fingers, dripping onto the ground.

But she made no cry, no shout, not even any sound.

She just stared at the Invasive Lawgiver, her eyes burning with fury enough to incinerate everything.

The Invasive Lawgiver looked at those eyes, and the smile on his face grew even more excited.

"And Ailixiya."

She whispered that name, then paused, as if savoring A Xing's reaction, "Do you know, you always thought Kevin was the first to die? Wrong."

A Xing's body shuddered violently.

The Invasive Lawgiver watched her reaction, and his smile grew even happier.

"The first to die was Ailixiya. She was fused with me at that time, which means that everything that followed—Kevin's death, Ying's death, Pa Duo's death, everyone's death—she witnessed. Through my perspective, little by little, watching her own companions being killed."

Her voice grew softer and more vicious:

"I even let her personally kill some people. With my hand, to kill the ones she loves most. How interesting—"

A faint pink flush even appeared on her face, her body twitched slightly, and she looked exceedingly excited, exceedingly sickly.

"Just thinking of Ailixiya's crying makes me unable to contain my excitement. A person who loves to laugh, yet she is the one who cries the most. It's a bit noisy; in my heart, she keeps crying and crying, the noise gives me a headache."

She smiled, and that smile was full of smugness.

"So I did her a favor. I silenced her voice. That way, it won't hurt her throat, yet it can vent her sorrow. I'm such a good person, right?"
