Madness

You know you're vicious too?

Faced with Dugu Bo's self-awareness, Zhou Qing did not know what to say for a moment, but he still rejected the proposal.

The one who tied the knot had to be the one to untie it.

Only if Saundin lived would there be a chance to truly resolve the issue between him and Mithras. If he died, who knew whether Mithras would turn dark... Zhou Qing had no desire to become part of a supervillain's origin story.

Crack!

Just then, a faint tremor came from beneath their feet, and Zhou Qing noticed it.

Dugu Bo and Romantina reacted a moment later.

"This machine hasn't stopped?"

Zhou Qing's gaze shifted toward Romantina.

Without hesitation, she activated her second martial soul—the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion—and unleashed her torso bone skill: Everlasting Freeze Domain!

Invisible cold air surged from her body and invaded the interior of the Drop Tower's pillar, freezing the gears within.

But—

Crack, crack, crack!

The Extreme Ice was crushed apart by the gears in less than a second.

This was impossible!

The Ice Empress shouted within Romantina's Sea of Spirit!

Although Romantina was only a Soul Elder, the martial soul formed from her original body could still unleash Extreme Ice. Her Soul Power could at most limit the output of Extreme Ice; it would not weaken the nature of the Extreme Ice itself.

Yet the ice formed by Everlasting Freeze Domain shattered at this very moment.

What material were those gears made of?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sighed. Human ingenuity truly was beyond imagination!

"This material is the same as the Steel Base's construction materials!" Zhou Qing immediately realized the problem, but he and Romantina had only recovered a little Soul Power. They simply could not perform Martial Soul Fusion a second time.
