Chapter 790: Fusion of Fragments (3rd Update) |
The object Su Chen produced was a fragment, precisely one of the pieces left behind by that woman.
Once Leng Yuwei made contact with this fragment, she would have to connect with that woman, defeat her, and absorb her!
Only in this way could Leng Yuwei survive. If she lost, she would disappear from the world.
It was a gamble, and the stakes were her life.
Su Chen had always hoped that Leng Yuwei wouldn't resort to this method to enhance her strength. However, the development of the Red Alert Base was not fast enough. The current limit of the Base could only elevate individuals to the ninth stage of the Small Galaxy. Leng Yuwei had reached this limit early on.
While others gradually improved their strength, Leng Yuwei's progress was exceptionally slow. Initially unaware of the reason, she searched for a long time before realizing she was an incomplete person.
Her original self was divided into seven parts. Her current body only possessed two parts, lacking five. It was no wonder her strength improved slowly.
Only by merging the other five parts could she become a whole person!
Hence, she took the initiative to approach Su Chen, wanting to make contact with the third fragment. Only then would she have enough strength to assist Su Chen.
Suddenly, a light membrane enveloped Leng Yuwei's body. Su Chen stood on the side, his eyes showing a hint of concern.
No one could help Leng Yuwei in her situation; she had to do it herself.
"System, can Yuwei merge this fragment?" Su Chen was somewhat nervous, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
"Given Leng Yuwei's current condition, the success rate of merging a new fragment is sixty percent."
"Just sixty percent?" Su Chen was somewhat incredulous.
"This is with your assistance. Without it, the success rate would be close to zero, considering her past."
Leng Yuwei felt a flash of bright light before her eyes, and suddenly she found herself in a strange place. It seemed to be a watery area, where she stood on the surface, creating ripples with every gentle movement.
Everything around was pitch black, with only the immediate vicinity visible. Besides that, there was nothing.
"Where is that woman?" Leng Yuwei looked around strangely. Unlike last time, she didn't see the woman this time.
Leng Yuwei suspected if this was a fabricated place created by an illusion, especially since her Transcendent Ability was illusion-based.
She took steps forward, determined to force the woman to appear if she wasn't showing up voluntarily.
Leng Yuwei had already tried; her powers, including her illusion ability, still existed in this place.
The moving Leng Yuwei was just her illusion. Her original body remained motionless in place.
She observed in secret; if the woman was here, she would surely reveal herself. The competition between them now was about who had more patience.
Time passed, and Leng Yuwei's illusory body had moved quite a distance.
Even so, the woman still didn't appear.
Leng Yuwei became somewhat worried. What if the woman never showed up?
She came here to merge everything about that woman, to gain her power. Without strength, how could she help Su Chen?
With these thoughts, Leng Yuwei started to feel uneasy and prepared to take the initiative.
However, just at that moment, Su Chen's voice suddenly sounded, "Yuwei, don't panic no matter what happens. I'm right by your side."
Leng Yuwei's lips curved into a smirk; she knew Su Chen was worried about her. He had intentionally transmitted his words directly using his abilities. According to the original distance, she and Su Chen shouldn't be far apart.
She took a deep breath, realizing she had almost made the wrong choice just now. This was a battle, a life-and-death struggle!
If she lost, there wouldn't be a second chance!
If Su Chen saw someone other than her, specifically that woman, he would surely be devastated.
"No matter who you are, you can't stop me from meeting Su Chen again!"
At this moment, Leng Yuwei felt it; her illusionary clone had disappeared. The woman couldn't resist any longer!
"Hahaha, you're done for!"
Leng Yuwei laughed heartily. As soon as the opponent made a move, she waved her hand, and endless rose petals appeared, directly covering this space.
Using the petals' perception, she immediately located the woman's position.
"Come to me!"
Leng Yuwei reached into the void, pulling a figure towards her. Dressed in a blood-red gown, red high heels, and a proud expression, it was indeed that woman!
"I never expected my own fragment to give birth to a second consciousness. Surprisingly, the second consciousness devoured my first consciousness. You're quite formidable," the woman said calmly, as if unaffected by the rose petal-made rope around her.
"You're not bad either. You've stayed in the fragment for so many years, never thinking of leaving. If it weren't for my appearance, were you planning to stay in the fragment forever, never to emerge?"
Leng Yuwei found it strange; when she made her move just now, the woman seemed to offer no resistance, letting her grab hold without any struggle. This was abnormal.
After all, she was the second consciousness, and the woman was the first consciousness. Regardless of who, no one would tolerate their second consciousness taking the lead and becoming the first consciousness. It would mean the complete disappearance of their own existence.
Being honest with herself, Leng Yuwei wouldn't allow another version of herself to take over.
The woman looked at Leng Yuwei. "I'm not interested in anything outside. When our original body failed, splitting into seven parts, I was just one of them. Collecting the other six seemed troublesome. Staying like this is a kind of peculiar immortality. Why should I risk my life?"
Leng Yuwei's expression was odd; this woman's demeanor was entirely different from the previous one. Honestly, she gave Leng Yuwei the same feeling as Black Veil, a sense of indifference.
The term "indifferent" was often on Les's lips, and having heard it frequently, Leng Yuwei understood its meaning.
"Aren't you concerned about being merged by me?" Leng Yuwei asked.
"Since we're originally the same person, even if it's different consciousness, is there any fundamental difference?" the woman countered.
Suddenly, Leng Yuwei felt a sense of conviction in the woman's words, and she couldn't even come up with a rebuttal.
Consciousness existed based on the soul, and no matter how many consciousnesses a person had, the soul remained singular!
The woman's words made perfect sense.
"Now that you have this understanding, let's begin," Leng Yuwei said, slowly approaching the woman.
It wasn't until her hand touched the woman's body that the woman made no move at all. Everything she said turned out to be true!
A dazzling light enveloped the two figures, and this space gradually disappeared.
