When he faced Lu Siya's burning gaze, Meng Chao felt as if he had been stripped naked.
Meng Chao felt as if he had been stripped naked and could see everything.
He shuddered deeply.
Then, he snapped out of his daze and tried his best to break free of the power that enveloped him. It was as hot and humid as the miasma in the forest. He roared, "Shut up! You're not Big Sis Ya! What are you?!"
"Of course I'm Lu Siya."
"Lu Siya" stretched her limbs and admired her graceful body. She enjoyed the pleasure of using the body of a Spirit Sensor to activate her vitality magnetic field and resonate with the planet's magnetic field. She smiled and said, "My emotions, memories, and thoughts are all the same as before. I haven't forgotten our deal either. If you say that I'm not Lu Siya, then who am I?"
"A monster that occupied Big Sis Ya's body."
Meng Chao gritted his teeth. He paused for a moment, then his tone became serious. "No, this might not even be Big Sis Ya's body. This body has already been filled by the green tide and Blood Flowers. It's a terrifying existence that's like the undead. This isn't a human body at all!"
"Your definition of 'human' is too narrow."
"Lu Siya" fiddled with her green hair and wagged her finger. She said disapprovingly, "If my guess is correct, you wanted to cut off my entire right arm just now, right?
"If your plan really succeeded and you managed to save me, how would you have treated my injuries? You would have performed surgery and cleaned the wound. Then, you would have installed mechanical prosthetics. You might have even installed dozens of weapons in the mechanical arm.
"I believe that you wouldn't treat Lu Siya, who has one or even two mechanical arms, as an anomaly.
"Why is it that you're so afraid of me when I have some strange life growing in my body right now? Why are you so against it?
"Compared to the hard mechanical arm, at the very least, these little lives are carbon-based lifeforms. They're our kind, aren't they?"
The word "our kind" caused Meng Chao's heart to feel a chill run down his spine again.
He was certain once more that it was impossible for him to make the green-haired, red-eyed "Lu Siya" snap out of her stupor with just words.
Meng Chao nervously thought of a plan.
On one hand, he had to think of a way to stall for time and get contribution points to restore his precious ability to fight continuously.
On the other hand, he had to find her weakness so that he could accumulate more trump cards for the upcoming game.
"There must be a flaw."
Meng Chao's mind raced. 'She might look relaxed and confident, but if my guess is correct, she was caught off guard and took up the fight in haste. In truth, she wasn't prepared to expose herself and turn against me tonight!'
The reason was simple.
No matter what the other party was.
Based on the current situation, it would be best if he continued lurking in Lu Siya's body and waited for her to reach Deity Realm before he surfaced.
Based on how she affected Lu Siya's mind and acted like she was serious about making a deal with Meng Chao, talking about the matter of being bound tightly together, and inheriting genes, it was clear that she did not want to turn against Meng Chao so soon.
Even though Meng Chao was a man of steel, had great ambitions, and did not get close to women …
But when he thought about Dragon City's future, the future of tens of millions of Earthlings, and Big Sis Ya's kindness, it was difficult for him to refuse.
It was not entirely impossible for him to agree to this deal.
As long as he waited patiently, when the deed was already done, the other party would be able to find at least a hundred more opportunities to fall out with him than to reveal his true form tonight.
Now that she was exposed, even if she could kill Meng Chao, how was she supposed to deal with the trouble at the foot of Fog God Mountain?
"The other party wasn't willing to reveal herself so early. Some unexpected factor that exceeded her expectations forced her to reveal her true form.
"But just now, there were only me and Big Sis Ya at the peak of God Fog Mountain. There were no accidents. We just chatted for a while, chatted …"
Meng Chao's pupils froze.
The cold wave that originated from the depths of his heart spread to his entire chest, and then to his limbs and bones.
"I know what you are now."
Meng Chao stared at her and enunciated each word clearly. "You're the secret weapon that the monster civilization sacrificed almost all of its army to protect. You're the last 1% of the monster mastermind that hasn't been completely destroyed. You're the second microbrain that has latched onto Lu Siya!"
Boom!
As the last word left his mouth.
A deafening roar rose in Meng Chao's mind, and dazzling golden light shone from it.
The golden light condensed into lines of dazzling words:
[Progress for the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities increased by 1%. Current progress: 100%. Congratulations, Fire Relayer. You have completed the chain quest, the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities.
[The final Supernatural Entities have finally appeared. Your gamble will decide Dragon City's future.
[Quest reward: Calculating.
[Increase in contribution points: Calculating.
'This is?'
Meng Chao's heart was filled with shock.
He knew that his guess was right.
Who would have thought that the final Supernatural Entities would be lurking in Lu Siya's body!
It was no wonder then why Kindling kept reminding him that the final answer was right in front of him.
Wasn't Lu Siya in front of him every day?
Besides, this was the first time Meng Chao ran into a situation where he did not get his contribution points and reward straight away after he completed a quest. Instead, golden light flashed nonstop, and he sank into a long period of calculation.
By the looks of it, the final Supernatural Entities would bring about a deep impact to Dragon City's future and even the arrival of the apocalypse. They would stir up a chain reaction that even Kindling could not calculate clearly within a short period of time.
There was another word that caught Meng Chao's attention.
'Our gamble will decide Dragon City's future?
'Why did Kindling use a word as elegant as gamble? Why didn't they just use words like battle, fierce battle, close-quarters combat, bayonet fight, and so on?
'Could it be that Kindling is telling me that the current me is definitely not Lu Siya's opponent, and that the best strategy is to run. As long as I can escape, it will be my greatest victory?'
Dozens of battle plans flashed in Meng Chao's mind.
And his eyes were strengthened by the golden light from completing the quest. His gaze was like a howling bullet that pierced through Lu Siya's blood-red eyes.
"Lu Siya"'s relaxed smile froze slightly.
The next second, shock and delight shone in her eyes. She met Meng Chao's gaze and clapped for him.
"Meng Chao, did you know? Every time I hear about your amazing ideas and witness your shocking actions, I feel really conflicted," Lu Siya said seriously.
"On one hand, I'm really happy that you're so good, because it means that I have a great eye for talent, and it also means that our cooperation will become more pleasant.
"But on the other hand, you seem to be too good, so good that I can't handle you. I'm really worried that there will come a day when I won't be able to catch up to you.
"Besides, there are plenty of times when being too good and too smart isn't a good thing. You can only live a long life if you're the same as the light or even muddle-headed!
"Honestly, I really didn't want to appear in front of you so soon.
"We should have continued fighting together and moving forward together. We should have carried out our wills and ideals in Dragon City and even the Other World.
"I will help you without holding back and share my amazing power. Both of us will reach Deity Realm and evolve into a stronger, more perfect, and more advanced life form.
"Of course, it's not too late now. We can still work together like in the past and conquer this world.
"You don't have to worry or be afraid. No matter what I become, I'm still me. I'm still Lu Siya. I won't harm you."
"No, you're not Big Sis Ya."
Meng Chao shook his head and said firmly, "You're a monster like the Vortex!"
"Don't compare me to a low-grade life form like the Vortex. You won't be able to understand just how wonderful I feel right now."
"Lu Siya"'s hair swayed gently.
The entire mini forest rustled.
All living beings submitted to her will.
She enjoyed all of this and let out a pleased sigh. She smiled and said, "There's one thing you're mistaken about. It's not that the last of the monster mastermind's power is in Lu Siya's body, but that we've fused together perfectly.
"I'm still Lu Siya, but I'm the Lu Siya who inherited the most important legacy and spirit of the monster civilization. I have a deeper understanding of the monster civilization and can use the monster civilization's power to help Dragon City's civilization become stronger."
"That's not what you said just now," Meng Chao said coldly.
Meng Chao said coldly, "Just now, Big Sis Ya clearly resisted this power and would rather die than be devoured by it. She even worked together with me and wanted to cut off her own arm to get rid of this damn power from her body.
"Then, you controlled the landslide and swallowed the real Lu Siya. Then, you seized the chance to suppress her will and occupy her body!"
"It's all your fault."
"Lu Siya" pursed her lips. "I originally wanted to use a gentler and steadier method to slowly and subtly fuse the two life forms perfectly.
"You're the one who's smart. You actually guessed 90% of the truth and even wanted to announce it to Battle God Lei Zongchao and everyone else.
"Even though they might not believe you, and even if they did, they might not be able to find any clues, but it's still a problem.
"So, I could only come up with this plan and use this simple and crude method to speed up the fusion.
"In the beginning, it was a little painful, and I resisted it a lot.
"After all, with a mortal's intelligence, there's no way they can understand something as powerful as the mothership.
"But now, I understand it completely.
"I understand how lucky I am to be able to fuse with the last living tissues of the mothership.
"I understand that only by working together with the monster civilization can I save Dragon City.
"I understand just how dangerous and glorious the endless path ahead of Dragon City is.
"I understand just where this mighty path will lead to!"
