"I'm willing to surrender. What do you want?"
Xue Yi looked at the shattered red button, and her mood seemed to have sunk to rock bottom.
"Surrender? That works."
Lin Ye nodded, thought for a moment, then said, "Put your hand between your buttocks. Lingxi, send her back afterward."
Whether Xue Yi was truly surrendering could be seen from her sincerity alone.
"Wouldn't that be too humiliating?"
At Lin Ye's words, Xue Yi's cheeks burned.
Humiliating?
Wasn't this how people surrendered in the Supergod world? Even the Taotie never said it was humiliating.
Lin Ye glanced at Xue Yi's flawless figure, the corner of his lips curling upward. "That's how it'll be. Otherwise, how does it count as surrender?"
"But..."
Xue Yi's smile was slightly bitter as she asked, "Do you really not have even the slightest feelings for me?"
"I do. Didn't I already get what I wanted just now?"
Lin Ye stretched out his hand, and a sharp black ice longsword appeared in his palm.
The Ice Gene really was useful.
As for the romance Xue Yi saw in his eyes, Lin Ye had never considered it.
He was a man with strong execution. He had to first ensure that his own strength was sufficient, that no one could defeat him.
Only then would he make other plans.
"You wouldn't understand."
Xue Yi gave a bitter smile, faint light flickering in her beautiful eyes.
The next second.
Lin Ye's ears twitched slightly.
The white mist before him was instantly blasted apart as two black phantoms slammed toward him!
With a thunderous boom!
Lin Ye was sent flying, crashing heavily into an ice wall.
His entire body sank into the wall.
Click, click, click—!
The sound of high heels stepping across the ice drew closer.
Morgana led a large group of demons through the white mist, arriving beside Xue Yi with an imposing presence.
Looking at the shattered red button on the ground, Morgana sighed helplessly. "Little Xue Yi, why were you wasting words on him? I taught you long ago to be more forceful. Look at you—you can't even walk properly the moment you meet someone you like."
"You're fucking devoted."
"From now on, go back to Styx and monitor Carl's movements."
With a few words, Morgana decided Xue Yi's destination.
Xue Yi lowered her head and said nothing more.
As Lingxi looked at the massive demon army and Queen Morgana, her eyes were filled with gravity.
No!
The situation was extremely dire. She had to send Demon One's location to Holy Kaisha!
Lingxi hid her right hand behind her back and began using her engine to connect to Holy Kaisha's channel.
"Connection failed. An unknown signal source is causing interference. Preliminary assessment: the target is Demon Queen Morgana."
Suddenly.
A notification of the failed signal transmission sounded in Lingxi's mind.
She was startled and looked at Morgana before her.
"Oh?"
Morgana opened her eyes slightly, processing the message intercepted from Lingxi. "You wanted that bitch Holy Kaisha to come kill me?"
Lingxi gripped the hilt of her Flame Sword, just about to exert force with her right hand.
Bang!
In the next instant, Lingxi was sent flying by a Demon Claw. Her body slid across the ice like a ball for a long distance before finally stopping.
Her pristine white wings had been shattered beyond recognition, feathers falling one by one.
Lingxi lay weakly on the ice, her beautiful face stained with blood.
She tried to raise her Flame Sword, but the phantom of a Demon Claw in the sky loomed over her like the god of death, shrouding her in shadow.
"Am I going to die?"
As Lingxi watched this unfold, she had not been equipped with a Sub-biological Engine. If she died in battle, she would truly die.
Many figures seemed to appear before her eyes, but her gaze stopped on Lin Ye's back.
This guy...
Lingxi fainted helplessly.
"Ah, I originally wanted to save her the normal way, but it looks like I can only upgrade her Sub-biological Engine now."
Lin Ye crouched beside Lingxi helplessly, placing one hand over her head.
Buzz!
"Concept Rewrite Engine activated. Command: modify target Lingxi." "Target is a new-generation Angel Warrior equipped with a standard Angel Warrior engine. Modification difficulty: low." "Estimated modification time: ten minutes." "Connecting to the Heavenly Blade System. Estimated modification time: nineteen, eight, seven..." "Modification complete. Target has obtained a Sub-biological Engine." "Sophon consumed this time: 999 units."
Mm.
Lin Ye withdrew his hand. Looking at Lingxi's fading aura, he decided to give her a hand.
An ice blade condensed in his right hand, and he drove it straight into Lingxi's lower abdomen.
Squelch!
Blood splattered everywhere. Lingxi was dead beyond doubt.
The Sub-biological Engine was a type of engine invented by Kaisha and the Sky Base King Hexi, capable of utilizing void energy.
The Sub-biological Engine had a passive activation program. After suffering a fatal injury, it could draw upon void energy and revive its host.
However, it had a limited number of uses, determined by the amount of energy it received.
Lingxi's aura of death mixed with icy mist and spread into the demon camp.
Seeing Lingxi dead, the surrounding demons were somewhat dumbfounded.
Why had this kid stabbed one of his own people?!
He was fucking ruthless!
"Oh, not bad, Lin Ye. You know you can't escape, so you killed Lingxi as your pledge of allegiance?"
Morgana revealed a delighted smile, but it gradually turned cruel. "Unfortunately, Xue Yi already gave you a chance."
The remnants of the red button still lay on the ground.
It had been both Xue Yi's gesture of goodwill and Morgana's opportunity for Lin Ye.
The destroyed red button meant that Morgana and Lin Ye could no longer negotiate.
"Although I still wanted to negotiate with Queen Morgana, who possesses such advanced technology, you seem determined to avenge your subordinate. Then I can only apologize."
Lin Ye slowly rose to his feet, dispersing the bloodstained ice blade in his hand, a gentle smile on his face.
"The way you look reminds me of someone I know."
Morgana frowned slightly, clear displeasure in her eyes.
With a wave of her hand, the Demon Claws shot forward!
The surrounding demons also surged toward Lin Ye one after another.
Among them was Demon Atto, whose injuries had already recovered.
Facing the overwhelming demon army, Lin Ye gently raised his palm.
Crackle, crackle, crackle!!!
Black lightning danced wildly in his palm, spreading through the mist into a spiderweb-like sea of lightning.
Lin Ye was bathed in black lightning, like the incarnation of a lightning king. Each time he raised his hand, countless bolts of lightning fell.
Empowered by the Black Hole Divine Body, all of his attacks were tinged with black.
Accordingly, his attacks had also gained a devouring effect.
Whenever lightning struck a demon, that demon would fall into a weakened state, while the lightning itself grew stronger and stronger.
However, besides dealing with ordinary demons, Lin Ye also had to contend with the troublesome Demon Claws.
On top of that, he was fighting on enemy territory, making victory rather difficult.
But what he wanted was not to destroy Morgana.
It was to crack Demon One's system.
"Attempting to crack Demon 1. Analysis progress: one percent, two percent..." "Connecting to the Heavenly Blade System. Estimated cracking time: ten minutes."
Ten minutes. In other words, he had to hold on a while longer.
Listening to the prompt by his ear and looking at the demons buzzing around like flies, Lin Ye felt considerable pressure.
It would be great if he had a weapon.
As Lin Ye pondered, he built a basic algorithm array with his right hand.
Using the Heavenly Blade System and the Dark Silver materials he had gathered, he was forging Star Fate.
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Moments later, a rapidly spinning golden cross began to materialize beside Lin Ye.
The gusts it kicked up instantly filled the demons' eyes with terror!
Holy shit, this guy pulled something out!
