Chapter 835: Activation

Lu Mian and the others were all attracted by those crystal-clear, beautiful scarlet pupils, as if their souls were about to sink into the depths of that scarlet.

But those pupils instantly surged with irritability, madness, and chaos without a shred of rationality, and the core of the vortex formed by this was an indescribable emptiness.

This made everyone who witnessed it feel uncomfortable, as if a perfect item had been dropped and cracked.

Lu Mian had just broken free from the feeling of sinking when he saw the "Abscessed Hand" look toward himself with those scarlet eyes.

It noticed its contractor first.

It undisguisedly expressed a cruel and bloodthirsty impulse.

Lu Mian's heart instantly skipped a beat, and the sweat on his body was stimulated, standing up one by one.

"Damn, the first one it wants to attack is me!" Lu Mian immediately prepared to "teleport" to the side of the mountain of corpses in the Mirror World to avoid the attack that the "Abscessed Hand" was about to launch.

He felt he was very wronged. He had just been watching the show and hadn't even tried to interfere with the brother's body reorganization, but he was targeted by the other party. The ones who were clearly playing the villain were Zhu Li and Te Wanake!

"And, I was the one who worked so hard to collect your body. I don't expect you to thank me, but at least don't kill me first!" Lu Mian followed his "Hunter" instinct and his own personality, muttering in his heart while activating the black mark on his right shoulder.

At this time, Zhu Li and Te Wanake both felt that the body that had evolved from rotten and disgusting to nearly perfect was becoming increasingly dangerous.

They took advantage of the "Abscessed Hand" targeting Lu Mian to brew attacks that were the most powerful and most likely to produce results.

Zhu Li raised her left hand and pointed to the sky.

In the deep, dim high sky, the clouds were swept by a violent wind, forming a huge vortex around the eye of the wind. Deep in the vortex, an iron-black meteorite was slowly outlined, exceptionally heavy.

The "Abscessed Hand's" gaze immediately moved away from the spot where Lu Mian's figure had quickly disappeared and fell onto Zhu Li.

In those crystal-clear, beautiful scarlet pupils, Zhu Li's figure in the slit dress was reflected, and then it reflected the white palm raised by the "Abscessed Hand."

That palm clenched instantly.

Zhu Li's neck instantly made a "crack" sound, visibly sinking inward.

Pop, pop, pop, mirrors on her body shattered one after another, but they failed to let her escape the current predicament.

She floated upward slowly, her facial muscles distorted by pain, as if she were being held by the neck by an invisible hand and lifted into mid-air.

Her hands instinctively retracted, trying to pry open the invisible palm that was pinching her neck.

That iron-black meteorite that was about to form disintegrated, the violent wind stopped, and the clouds dispersed.

Lu Mian, who had just outlined his figure on the side of the mountain of corpses, saw this scene and felt heartfelt emotion at the terror of the "Abscessed Hand."

If this were in the outside world, without asking Madam "Magician" to watch over it in advance, fulfilling the contract would be equivalent to suicide.

At this time, Lu Mian felt inexplicably relaxed, as if he had lost an invisible shackle in his body.

He had completed the agreement and was no longer unable to obtain divinity.

Lu Mian's gaze swept over Zhu Li, whose mouth was opening bit by bit and whose face was becoming increasingly blue and purple, and he frowned suspiciously:

"Where is Céleste?

"Zhu Li is responsible for intercepting the disruptors in the Mirror World, and Céleste is taking action against '0-01'?"

Between thoughts, his gaze looked toward Albus Medici, who was already a few hundred meters away from him:

"This guy also has a big problem...

"He could clearly influence and use the steel combat puppets in the underground mausoleum, so why did he only enter here after Zhu Li and Céleste took action first?

"Is he also making some preparations, or is he worried that he can't cross Te Wanake's obstruction and wants to wait for an opportunity when the situation is chaotic?"

Just as Zhu Li's eyes began to bulge and she made up her mind to activate the full power of the sapphire ring, this Mirror World shook violently again, and one obvious crack after another appeared in all directions.

Inside these cracks, one near-invisible flame after another emerged, infiltrating.

In the blink of an eye, both the sky and the earth began to burn.

Lu Mian suddenly had an urge to surrender, and his body instinctively avoided those near-invisible flames that existed in the form of clusters, avoided the melting soil, rocks, and void.

He felt that he couldn't resist such flames even with his resistance to burning damage. Once touched, he would inevitably be burned to ashes quickly.

Almost at the same time, the palm of his right hand became abnormally hot, and the violent and crazy aura surged within his body, but it couldn't break through the bound brought by the dead and cold piece of the "Netherworld Daoist" mark.

The residual aura of the "Blood Emperor" Alista Tudor had triggered itself, completely triggered!

This caused Lu Mian to feel as if he were a balloon that had been inflated to the limit and was still being constantly pumped.

This was incomparably painful.

In the Mirror World, the area where the cracks were most numerous and the flames were most dense was the area around the "Abscessed Hand." This perfect body fell into a burning hell, its head lowered bit by bit, and the white palm that was pinching Zhu Li in the air loosened accordingly.

Witnessing such a change and feeling the indescribable pain, Lu Mian suddenly remembered a paragraph in the "0-01" seal files:

"Beyonders above Sequence 5 cannot approach, warning, Beyonders above Sequence 5 cannot approach!"

And now, the reorganized and revived "Abscessed Hand" clearly already possessed divinity, powerful divinity!

"Is it, is it '0-01' detecting, detecting the appearance of a demigod-level Beyonder, and is it forcibly, forcibly breaking the barrier of the Mirror World?

"My, my 'Blood Emperor' mark, stimulated by the aura of '0-01', is uncontrollably, completely triggered?" Lu Mian thought in an incomparably painful and intermittent way.

Albus Medici also lowered his head, and the flame hair on his back grew another inch.

Zhu Li fell to the top of the ice stairs, finally escaping the state of near-death.

On her white, slender neck, redness and blue-black intertwined, and there were five finger marks deeply embedded in the flesh.

Zhu Li exhaled and raised her left hand again.

She wanted to take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy who almost killed her was restricted by the power infiltrated by "0-01" to completely wipe it out.

On the other side, near-cyan flames ignited on Te Wanake's body.

He then stretched out his right palm, letting the flames quickly surge forward, forming a huge fireball.

This fireball attracted the near-invisible flames around it, letting them gather and merge layer by layer.

Behind Te Wanake, those undead soldiers were all ignited by the flames infiltrating through the cracks, but they didn't turn into ashes because of this, but instead merged with these flames and flew toward the fireball Te Wanake had manufactured one by one.

That fireball became larger and larger, and the color gradually turned purple.

Te Wanake, whose eye sockets were burning with dark red flames, bit his lips tightly, already reaching the limit he could maintain.

He then pushed that huge, pale purple fireball out, pushing it toward the "Abscessed Hand."

Just as this fireball touched the perfect body of the "Abscessed Hand," a meteorite ignited by friction with the air fell from high above.

The meteorite fell faster and faster, hitting the target that was in a semi-surrender state and unable to move.

Lu Mian, who was resisting the residual aura of the "Blood Emperor," first saw the explosion of fire and the rising dust before he heard the loud noise that made him deaf, and felt the crazy shaking of the earth.

The world lost its color, and it was gray and dark.

"Did it succeed?" Zhu Li joyfully cast her gaze toward the area where the meteorite fell.

Although the area was filled with dust and smoke, and invisible wind waves were raging, Zhu Li still used her connection with this Mirror World to let her eyes reflect the scene of the explosion core area from a distance.

That perfect body had been blown into pieces, its flesh and blood either charred or evaporated, leaving only a residual, broken black skeleton standing in place.

But on that skeleton, there was still a bit of new tender meat growing, and the bone quality was wriggling and fading away the charred color.

"It's still not dead?" The weak Zhu Li's heart became exceptionally heavy.

The next second, Zhu Li's brow felt a stinging pain, as if the flesh there had self-awareness, wanting to penetrate out, break free from the skin's restraint, and completely display its appearance.

Zhu Li's ears buzzed, and the scene echoing in her mind was full of blood-colored banners floating high above.

Accompanying the instant wrinkling of her face, she thought with difficulty and pain:

"Am I, am I targeted by '0-01'?

"I can't, I can't hold on anymore...

"I'm going to become its puppet..."

Zhu Li's body gradually bent forward, as if she could no longer bear the invisible weight. Her pupils gradually turned black, and blood vessels appeared.

She looked at Te Wanake in the wilderness, looked at the dust rushing to the sky, and her eyes gradually became crazy, as if she had returned to the state when she first entered Morora.

She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice:

"I will take everyone here away!

"Céleste, next it's up to you!

"Do you still remember the famous line in the book 'Eternal Love'?

"'Idiot, live well!'"

Live well! Zhu Li screamed silently, and the sapphire ring on her left hand burst into dazzling, bright light.

She was praying for the Primordial descent!

In the light, the blood-colored mark on Zhu Li's brow quickly faded, her hair floated up, becoming longer and thicker.

Her surroundings quickly became grayish-white, and the entire wilderness became increasingly grayish-white.

Lu Mian became stiff, as if he had turned into a stone statue, and the burning pain brought by the residual aura of the "Blood Emperor" in the palm of his right hand never stopped.

Then, he saw Zhu Li, whose appearance had changed quite a bit and whose charm was so strong that even the stones turned toward her, suddenly turn her body and look at himself.

…………

Trier, in the sacrificial square at the entrance area of the third floor of the underground catacombs.

Franca had finished checking the surroundings, determined that there were no other people, and set up a "Mirror Maze."

"You can drink the potion." She nodded at Jenna.

Jenna immediately took out the corresponding materials from the "Traveler's Bag" and prepared the "Pleasure" potion using a crystal glass as a container.

Looking at the potion that emitted strands of pink blood, Jenna didn't hesitate, tilted her head, and gulped it down.

She felt herself floating up, as if she were stepping on the clouds. Pain like needle pricks came from all over her body, and her hair, influenced by invisible power, broke away from the earth's attraction and extended toward the distance.

Vaguely, Jenna saw snakes swimming over in the gray darkness around her, straightening their upper bodies.

These snakes all had a strange eye on their heads, making Jenna instinctively feel a strong sense of danger, as if she would be torn into pieces in the next second.

Such hallucinations dissipated instantly, and Jenna saw a blurry, holy figure wearing a simple white robe.

That female figure sighed hollowly and ethereal:

"As a woman, do you know how dangerous this path is?"

"I have no choice." Jenna answered half-awake and half-dreaming.

That holy figure was silent for a moment and said:

"Reconcile with your Mirror Person, because you are originally one body.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

This figure gradually faded, seeming to be about to dissipate.

Jenna blurted out:

"You are Madam Clismanna, right? Who, who is your father?"

Just after asking this question, Jenna wanted to slap herself.

Is this a habit formed from discussing improper things with Lu Mian and Franca? There were clearly many important things to ask, but she asked such an inappropriate question!

That holy figure wearing a simple white robe was silent for a moment and said:

"My father is Alista Tudor."
