Path of Elation, Chaos, Rampage!

Sparkle picked up the already torn Christmas reindeer outfit.

As my fingertips brushed along the delicate edge of the fabric, a subtle, almost imperceptible lingering feeling was revealed.

This seemingly whimsical outfit carries the weight of a vivid and unforgettable Remembrance.

Sparkle gently tossed it aside, stretched out like a cat waking up, and lay back down on the spacious seat of the Maybach, casually crossing her long legs.

Lazy.

Comfortable.

Feeling comfortable.

Coming to her senses, Sparkle turned her head, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"This time... have you felt the Path Power filled with Elation?"

Lin Hai was about to shake his head, preparing to answer – no.

In an instant.

An unprecedented warm current suddenly swept through the depths of his consciousness.

The familiar panel appeared silently, displaying a series of text:

[Contract Lucky Star: Sparkle]

[Hidden Quest Completed: Repeatedly Prove It in Ultimate Elation]

[Quest Reward Unlocked: Path of Elation (Beginner)]

[Elation - Beginner Level]: Seek pleasure and truth, and revel in yourself! By practicing actions that Path of Elation, you can draw strength and enhance yourself!

A bright and vibrant energy then flowed into Lin Hai's limbs and bones.

It is different from Path of Nihility, and also different from Path of Harmony.

The power of Elation Path Power is light and fiery, carrying a special feeling that makes your heart race.

Lin Hai could clearly feel that he had become stronger.

It's not just an increase in energy, but a burst of vitality.

What surprised him even more was that when he subconsciously grasped Sparkle's hand, a surge of dopamine, several times stronger than usual, instantly rushed up his nerve pathways.

It brings a pure, almost dizzying Elation!

This physiological response, far exceeding that of intimate contact, is simply unbelievable.

"Sparkle." Lin Hai's voice was slightly hoarse from this wonderful experience. "Let's hug again, let's try."

Sparkle smiled sweetly and opened her arms without hesitation.

Come on~

When the two embraced tightly again, an explosive sense of Elation, far surpassing any previous intimate moment, overwhelmed them like a tsunami.

A simple hug had an emotional impact several times stronger than the intense "match" just moments before!

The two of them instinctively returned to their seats, their eyes meeting, both filled with incredulous shock.

"Just a hug..." Sparkle murmured, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glistening with tears, "It's just like that... I don't want to let you go."

Her voice seemed to carry a hint of intoxicated dependence.

I'm hooked!

This is so addictive!

Lin Hai took a deep breath, feeling the warmth still lingering within him, and sighed sincerely, "I wish I could hold you like this every single second."

"Then let's hug." Sparkle laughed, snuggling closer to him like a clingy cat. "What's wrong with hugging all the time?"

Lin Hai chuckled at the blunt suggestion and shook his head.

"I really want to, but... wouldn't we be unable to do anything? Wouldn't that be a bit too crazy?"

"What's wrong with being a little crazy?"

Sparkle retorted confidently, "It's better to be a little crazy!"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other for a moment, then burst into laughter simultaneously.

Although they parted ways reluctantly in the end, both of them were overjoyed.

I was deeply moved by this unprecedented and wonderful realization.

Lin Hai also personally experienced that the essence of the Path of Elation is a path that leads people to pursue ultimate happiness, even to the point of madness.

It elevates individual experience and happiness to an unprecedented level.

He couldn't help but think: This Path is practically pushing me towards becoming a free spirit, Homelander!

On second thought, if one could possess enough power to truly live according to one's own will, living freely and joyfully, it seems... not so bad!

I don't eat beef.

I said I wouldn't eat beef, and I mean it!

Reckless.

Elegant.

That was a truly first-class experience!

Lin Hai drove the Maybach, carrying Sparkle, smoothly along the slightly rough roads of the Underworld.

The deep rumble of the engine echoed inside the car.

However, this tranquility was abruptly shattered by a dull thud!

Boom!!

The loud noise originated from the direction of the massive elevator connecting the upper Underworld, followed by a violent, earth-shaking tremor!

Thick clouds of dust rose into the sky from that direction and spread outwards.

Something's happened!

Lin Hai's eyes sharpened, and without the slightest hesitation, he pressed the accelerator hard.

The high-performance Maybach let out a low roar and shot off like an arrow, leaving only a blur in the air as it sped toward the scene of the incident.

Almost simultaneously with the acceleration, a bone-chilling cold swept in like an invisible tide, penetrating the car body and causing the temperature inside to drop several degrees.

"Such a strong chill..." Sparkle frowned slightly, her playful expression vanishing, and her tone became serious.

Lin Hai's expression was grave as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. "This aura... it's very likely Cocolia. She... has completely gone berserk."

"It's highly likely." Sparkle turned to look at Lin Hai, a hint of inquiry in her eyes. "If she really does lose control completely, what do you plan to do?"

Lin Hai's gaze was sharp, and his voice was calm to the point of being cold. "It depends on the situation. If there's an opportunity, capture them alive. If the situation is critical and they threaten us, then... kill them!"

Upon hearing this, Sparkle showed no fear, but instead revealed a hint of excited smile, "That sounds... quite interesting."

"With our current strength, we're more likely to capture her alive," Lin Hai added. "But the prerequisite is that she cannot threaten Bronya, Seele, or any of our other companions' lives. If she insists on killing us, we'd rather kill her on the spot to prevent future trouble!"

The Maybach sped through the last bend at an astonishing speed and came to a stop at the edge of the elevator plaza.

The scene before me was terrifying.

Cocolia's figure hovered in mid-air, her hair dancing wildly in the raging energy flow.

Her eyes gleamed with an unnatural icy blue light, and she was surrounded by dozens of sharp spears formed from pure ice, their tips pointing directly at the panicked crowd below.

A biting wind howled and raged around her, and icy frost was rapidly spreading along the ground and walls...

The residents of the Underworld scattered and fled.

Cries and screams rose and fell.

The members of the Wildfire organization, on the other hand, demonstrated remarkable courage and organization.

They quickly gathered from all directions, armed with rudimentary weapons, and formed a defensive line to try to stop Cocolia and buy time for the civilians to evacuate.

Bronya and Seele arrived almost at the same time.

Bronya looked at her mother, who was both familiar and unfamiliar in the air, her face filled with pain and determination. She gripped her weapon tightly, ready for battle.

Seele, on the other hand, was more direct, with a massive scythe already in her hand and a resolute fighting spirit burning in her eyes.

The situation was extremely tense, and a brutal conflict seemed imminent.

At this critical moment, the Maybach, with a screeching sound of brakes, stormed into the center of the square like an uninvited guest, stopping between the two opposing sides.

The car door opened, and Lin Hai and Sparkle calmly got out.

When the panicked people saw Lin Hai appear, they seemed to have found their pillar of support, and the commotion and fear miraculously subsided.

Countless eyes were focused on him, filled with anticipation and trust!
