The Forest Banshee's armor was torn apart, and the thousands of vines hissed as if they were soaked in boiling oil. They seemed to have suffered pain that was one hundred times greater than the pain of being pierced by a stalactite.
Even the red light in her crystalline right eye, which seemed to have been lit with blood as fuel, was occupied by a crazed, black color.
"Lu Siya" was like a rusty machine. She moved her right arm inch by inch with great difficulty.
But she did not pull out the stalactite stuck in her shoulder blade. Instead, she spread her fingers and grabbed the hairline gap between the mask and the helmet.
"Rip!"
Kacha!
She actually tore off the right half of her mask!
"Big Sis Ya?"
Meng Chao stared at her dumbfounded.
Based on her black eyes and the lively expression on the other half of her face, he could tell that this was the real Lu Siya!
Of course, it was only half of her face.
A small part of it.
The other half of its body, which was still tightly wrapped in the armor formed by the green tide and blood patterns, let out an earth-shattering roar.
Vines that were as thick as aorta appeared on the surface of the armor. They struggled and squirmed madly before they gathered together in Lu Siya's chest to form a bulge that looked like a brain but also like a heart.
The bulge thumped as if it came from the depths of hell. It was the war drum of a demon king.
It was a soul-stirring roar, and even Meng Chao could hear it clearly.
"Why did you refuse to fuse with me?"
Lu Siya asked in the depths of her chest. "Are you an idiot like Jin Qianxi and Meng Chao? No, that's impossible. You're not the same type of person as them!
"I can sense your ambition. I can sense your callousness. I can sense your selfishness and your unscrupulousness. You yearn for success, you yearn to rule, and you yearn to do as you please on the land and the endless stars above it!
"Your appetite isn't as simple as just wanting to surpass your grandfather and Battle God Lei Zongchao to become the strongest in Dragon City!
"When you realized that the Other World is a planet that is about the same size as Earth, you yearn to completely devour this planet!
"That's your voice, Lu Siya. I heard your voice. You can't lie to me!
"To achieve your goal, you won't care about sacrificing thousands of normal people. This is the greatest difference between you and Meng Chao, and it's also the greatest reason why I chose you and not him!
"So, why did you reject me?
"Could it be that you still haven't experienced the limitless power that I have bestowed upon you? Without me, you wouldn't have been able to become a six-star superhuman in just a few short months and reach the peak of Heaven Realm. You could even revive corpses, control the entire forest, and control millions of monsters!
"Don't you know that this is far from our limit? With my help, you will soon reach Deity Realm and surpass your grandfather, Lv Zhongqi, and Battle God Lei Zongchao. You will become the strongest person in Dragon City!
"Don't you understand that I can make your dreams come true? I can help you rule over Dragon City and even conquer the Other World!"
The demonic voice contained a mental impact that could topple mountains and overturn seas. It caused Meng Chao's cerebral cortex to suffer an explosion, and he moaned.
But with great difficulty, Lu Siya managed to squeeze out a disdainful sneer on the side of her face that had black eyes.
Just like Meng Chao a moment ago, she spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
"That's right. Ahem, the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of normal people have nothing to do with me. I just want to leave Lu Siya's name in the history of Dragon City and even the Other World, but you monster, you got one thing wrong —"
Lu Siya sucked in a deep breath and widened her black eyes. She screamed, "I want to control the Other World as Queen Bee Lu Siya, not as a puppet of a monster like you!
"No one can crawl into my body and order me around. No one can treat me as a toy and control me at will. No one can go against my will and touch my pinky. No one can force me to do what I like!
"My father can't, my grandfather can't, Battle God Lei Zongchao can't, and you're a deformed, ugly, and ridiculous monster. You can't! Die!"
As she screamed, she raised her right arm high and brought it down like a guillotine.
With a cracking sound, the second stalactite hanging above the karst cave broke and fell from the sky. It pierced through the green tide and the bloody lines intertwined like a living creature's armor and deeply pierced her thigh, nailing her deeper into the rock wall. She was even more dead now.
Lu Siya screamed in pain. Pain appeared on her face.
Her lips curled up into an incredibly delighted smile.
It was as if the beating chest of a monster's mastermind was filled with shock, anger, and disbelief.
"Without my help, it's impossible for you to control Dragon City, much less conquer the Other World. Failure is your only path, and destruction is your only ending. The Gates of Hell are already open in front of you. Do you really want to be reduced to ashes and never be reborn?"
The voice said in an incredibly twisted manner.
"Even if I'm destroyed, so what?"
Lu Siya laughed even more happily. "It doesn't matter whether I succeed or fail, whether I'm a hero or a demon, whether I'll be remembered for generations or go down in infamy.
"What's important is that this is my choice. This is my fate. This is my journey. This is my free will, and it's the path I chose for myself!
"I'd rather fight to the end on the path I chose and burn my life until it's completely gone. In the end, I'll be reduced to ashes.
"I also don't want to become your puppet and watch you conquer the Other World. Conquer my Other World!"
"No, I can give you free will," the voice said hastily.
The voice said hurriedly, "I can keep your thoughts, your memories, your emotions, your senses. You won't feel any difference from the past at all!"
"Idiot, you don't understand at all."
Lu Siya scoffed. "I, Queen Bee Lu Siya, don't need anyone to give me my free will. That has always belonged to me, so what right do you have to give it to me or take it away?
"It doesn't matter whether it's my free will, Dragon City, the Other World, or the galaxy, I will use my own hands to get what I want bit by bit!
"If I can get what I want, it'll be my own ability. Even if I lose my reputation and die a horrible death, I'll be willing to accept my loss!
"If I can't even control my own body and will, what's the point of becoming the king of the Other World?!
"So, give up. Even if I have to burn all my life, I won't give a single cell to a monster like you!"
Lu Siya swung her fist with all her might for the third time.
The third was incredibly sharp. It scraped against the air at high speed, and like a shining spear, it stabbed her heart from behind.
It was so fast that it wanted to destroy the monster's mastermind and heart at the same time.
The armor squirmed and screeched as if it was alive.
Dozens of vines shot out and wrapped around the stalactite.
But under the control of Lu Siya's stubborn will, the stalactite continued spinning at high speed in an attempt to move forward.
In an instant, the air seemed to have frozen. Even time stopped. Lu Siya's power and the ancient power that invaded her body were locked in a strange but intense stalemate.
"Big Sis Ya …"
Meng Chao's blood boiled because of Lu Siya's vitality magnetic field.
A brand new wave of heat rose in his body, which was supposed to be empty.
He wanted to go up and help.
But he did not know where to start.
"Meng Chao!"
When she sensed his burning fighting spirit, Lu Siya glared at him with her sparkling black eyes. "Hurry up and leave!"
Before her voice faded away …
The third stalactite that had been in a stalemate in the air suddenly changed direction and shot at Meng Chao!
The mysterious power lurking in Lu Siya's body did not expect that her target was not her heart from the start. The power of the vines to entangle and block her became the driving force for the stalactite, causing it to instantly break the speed of sound and release a deafening sonic boom in the narrow space.
Whoosh!
The stalactite grazed past Meng Chao's scalp and stabbed into the wall behind him.
Boom!
With Lu Siya's will and life as the price, the stalactite that contained rampaging spirit energy exploded like a bomb. It caused a chain reaction in the depths of the rock stratum, and it was like a chain explosion. Thunderous booms rose nonstop.
"Hiss!"
Meng Chao noticed to his shock that a crack that was the width of a person had appeared on the originally airtight wall.
It seemed to be a winding path that led to endless darkness.
But fresh air that smelled like blood seeped out from the depths of the crack.
He could vaguely hear the rumbling sound of the rushing river.
It was a crack that led to the outside world.
If he went through the crack, he would have the chance to jump into Red Dragon River!
Meng Chao's mind raced, and he immediately understood Lu Siya's intentions.
She knew very well that it was impossible for her to snatch her body back from the mastermind with just her will alone.
No matter how many stalactites pierced her body, she would not be pinned to the wall for long because she had incredibly powerful regenerative abilities in her cells.
Hence, the first two stalactites were just feints.
The cunning Queen Bee might have been roaring with passion while she scanned the area calmly. She had long since used her dual talents as a Spirit Sensor and a mine explorer to scan the cracks and karst caves underground, which led to the weakest spot on the surface.
Right from the start, she had placed all her hopes on Meng Chao!
Meng Chao had returned from the apocalypse, so he should be as resolute as steel. He should not hesitate no matter what.
But at the moment he realized Lu Siya's intentions, he could not help but have the urge to stay and fight with Lu Siya until the end.
"Idiot!"
When she sensed his hesitation, Lu Siya became even more anxious. "Why are you daydreaming? Hurry up and leave! Only if you escape will you have a chance to save me! Only then will I have the ability to continue fighting against this monster!"
Meng Chao shuddered as if he had been struck by lightning.
His gaze was like frozen lightning, and it became calm and sharp again.
"Big Sis Ya, I'll definitely save you." His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Of course, you'll definitely save me." Lu Siya smiled like a flower. Blood tattoos and green waves covered her face again.
But even if her entire face was devoured by the bronze mask, black flames shone stubbornly in the depths of her eye sockets.
