I Really Want to Stay at Your House

The raging flames engulfed the flesh, and the rapidly expanding and proliferating cells released violent shockwaves.

"Ugh—!"

The muscles all over my body spasmed from the burning, tensing, relaxing, and tensing again, stretching myself to the limit like a rubber band and then snapping back. At the same time, every inch of my skin was torn and twisted, turning into sparks that sprayed into the air. The heat was like an invisible wave, constantly squeezing my flesh and blood, scorching and drying it out. Is there any pain more severe than this?

"So this is what it feels like to be burned alive—"

There is definitely a feeling that is more painful than being burned.

Covered in flames, Li Aoz rushed toward the Grand Duke on the throne.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

The Eagle Emblem sneered, raising its wrist. The red radio reappeared before it, and with a wide, gaping mouth, it uttered words that pierced the heart:

"Look at your body, are there any traces of humanity left?"

Snap! Snap! Snap! Li Aoz's feet slammed onto the cold marble.

"Your thoughts are meaningless. You are nothing but a hypocrite who kills without distinguishing right from wrong. Your sins are heinous, yet you still fantasize that you can clear your name."

Li Aoz raised his hand, his fingertips engulfed in flames, surrounded by a crimson aura.

"Save your breath, you two-faced fool. Look who killed you—they're back again."

Eagle Emblem released three Spirit Wraith, which shrieked and followed a familiar trajectory as they instantly pounced on Li Aoz.

The Spirit Wraith that had once taken his life reappeared before him, and Li Aoz's pupils instinctively contracted, his body trembling slightly—it was the memory of his previous life's death that was rekindled as he faced the Spirit Wraith in person.

It seems that... ' Li Aoz ' has never forgotten the fear of being killed by the Spirit Wraith.

As one integrates into this world, the beliefs one carries and the unfulfilled dreams one has also inherited.

The Eagle Emblem mocked:

"You can't protect anyone—past, present, or future!"

Li Aoz his mouth, clenched his fist, and threw a powerful punch at a demon spirit that was lunging at him.

"You want to punch a spirit? Hahahaha, that's fucking ridiculous!"

Eagle Emblem sat on the throne, bursting into laughter.

"--Yeah?"

boom--------

A burst of fiery energy erupted from the burning fist, instantly illuminating the Spirit Wraith's inverted triangular head.

Without a sound of impact, the punch, carrying flames, passed through the Spirit Wraith's ethereal body, tearing and exploding its illusory form in the heat.

Silent and still.

Li Aoz spread his arms and instantly swept past the remaining two Spirit Wraith. Before they could even face the flames, three different faces were reflected in their dark pupils. In a short moment, their bodies melted and disintegrated.

The remaining flames swept past Alexia, the ice and snow melted, and she was able to raise her head. Her frosty eyelashes slowly filled with glistening tears as she gazed at Li Aoz, who was so close to her.

Shining, warm.

"...sun."

"What the hell?! This can't be!"

Eagle Emblem exclaimed in horror, "This is no ordinary flame! It can burn spirits and kill Spirit Wraith with One-Hit Kill —who exactly are you?!"

"--security guard."

As Li Aoz spoke, he took a heavy step, crossing the Eagle Emblem. He could no longer remain calm and was about to stand up. However, at that moment, his spirit instantly separated from the Grand Duke's body and was completely exposed in front of Li Aoz.

Archduke Gamos slowly raised his eyes, which were filled with a verdant glow.

"Gamos! Verdant! You actually plotted against me—"

The Eagle Emblem demanded.

"Since one spirit has to be eliminated anyway, why can't it be you?"

The Verdant Wolf Spirit chuckled mockingly:

"Even if Gamma Rank Shaman is weak, it is not something a spirit like you can usurp. Take a good look at yourself, Eagle Emblem —look back."

Eagle Emblem instinctively turned around, and Li Aoz, like a Phoenix, spread his arms, bursting with flames, and crashed into him.

boom------

The violent explosion instantly engulfed the entire Flame Monarch Hall in flames. Portraits of past Governor turned to ashes in the fire, and all the utensils of luxury playthings were shattered by the shockwave. All the documents, certificates, and symbols left behind by the Frostplate Colonizers were also destroyed in the process.

"Aoz!"

Alexia was thrown back by the blast and slammed against the wall. Without even checking her injuries, she immediately shouted towards the epicenter of the explosion:

"No! Aoz, come back—"

The rack that was holding her clothes suddenly came off, and Alexia lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Snap—

The embers, like snowflakes, drifted slowly down from the sky.

Gravity, like a gentle ocean, supported Alexia's body, allowing her to fall slowly and steadily into an embrace that was no longer scorching hot, but only warm.

"Australia..."

"People from the Old Era were so stubborn."

His burned body healed rapidly, the charred skin faded, revealing Li Aoz's pale skin and a face filled with helplessness and mockery:

"He became a widower before even getting married—it'll be a laughing stock if word gets out."

Black embers drifted freely, and under the flames, the radio crashed heavily to the ground, charred and broken, crackling with a few Mars before exploding.

"Aoz ..." Alexia raised her hand and covered her mouth.

"Oh? Ellie, why are your eyes wet?"

"The snowflakes on my eyelashes just melted."

"That's good. I thought the most outstanding girl of the Old Era was crying in front of me."

Li Aoz grinned mischievously and placed Ellie on the ground:

"I know you can get up on your own. You are a real woman, capable of holding up half the sky."

That's why I willingly became your bride.

Alexia avoided his gaze, released her grip on Li Aoz's hand, and said confidently, "Of course."

Alexia wiped the snow from the corner of her eyes, supported herself on the floor, stood up again, and stood side by side with Li Aoz.

They turned their heads and looked at the throne engulfed in flames.

Fu—

Emerald claws tore through the flames, and several figures stepped out of the void in front of Archduke Gamos, forming a snail with four human arms, a faceless woman in white, a strange man with a head covered in umbilical cords and a placenta, and a majestic natural beast spirit.

Clap clap clap! The Verdant Wolf Spirit clapped its hands and chuckled sarcastically, "You don't actually think that Gamma Rank shaman only has two host spirits, do you? Nether Wife, someone looks down on you."

"That greedy guy Eagle Emblem is really annoying, he can't tell what's important and what's not." The white-clad female Nether Wife, spoke in a sinister yet alluring voice, and she exuded an unsettlingly strong scent of rouge.

"Enough." The nature spirit snorted coldly, purple lightning crackling around its body. "Gamos, your body is about to collapse. Don't forget your contract."

Archduke Gamos slowly raised his head, raised his sluggish hand, removed the respirator from his face, revealing a horrifyingly aged and Terror face. "I know you always want my soul. I'm old, and I'll die sooner or later on this planet."

He put on his oxygen mask again, took a deep breath of air, and a faint blue light gradually appeared in his eyes. "Hoo—but now, I am still your master."

The verdant wolf spirit bared its teeth, one hand on its hip. "Then stop dawdling. This man makes me suspicious. The two of them might actually be able to hurt you."

"Verdant Green, Human Snail, Nether Wife, Fetus Ghoul, Thunder Spirit."

Archduke Gamos took a deep breath of pure oxygen, raising his blood oxygen saturation to ninety percent, which gave him a basic level of oxygenation. He turned his head, stared at Li Aoz and Alexia, and whispered, "Summon them."

Summoning of Evil.

The five spirit bodies immediately let out a shriek, their bodies infused with the Grand Duke's spiritual power, covered in a pitch-black shell, their eyes filled with fear, radiating a ghostly green demonic light.

"My suggestion is—stay home." Cangcui raised her sharp claws mockingly. "That way you won't be so scared that you wet your pants."

"Scare you to death. I suggest you restart your Sims. If you try hard, you might become an adult. Anyway, it will definitely be better than it is now. At least, you were reincarnated as a clown in a circus for people's amusement."

Li Aoz's aggressive language nearly made Cang Cui explode with anger.

"They're coming on strong."

Looking ahead, Li Aoz suddenly said to Alexia without any apparent reason, "I have a laboratory in Triangle Town, surrounded by industrial production lines and pharmaceuticals, but inside there are two sofas, and the canteen serves beef stew with potatoes on Sundays."

"Cool! I really want to see what it's like there."

Erbium Gold covered Alexia's arm, and she nodded slightly. "But I'd rather stay at your house and talk about these things..."

"My home? Well, strictly speaking, it's in the universe."

He raised his fist, Alexia, as if on the same wavelength, raised her fist and bumped it against his.

"Then it's a deal."

Li Aoz grinned, his eyes widening in a reddish-black hue, his facial muscles cracking and twisting, the edges of his face covered by reddish-black crystals, cleverly concealing his true appearance.

Rumble rumble rumble—

"What's going on? Is it an earthquake?!" Cangcui lost her balance and almost fell to the ground. The other evil spirits were also affected by the tremor and were only concerned with balancing themselves.

Gamos sat on his throne and growled, "Make your move now!"

Cangcui retorted sarcastically:

"You make it sound so easy!? Try standing up yourself and see if you can do it!"

The marble and the mudstone beneath the ground instantly cracked and surged, as if mountains were rising from the ground and covering his body.

[Overlord Form Activated]

[DOMINATE ALL]

Beneath the rock strata, red and black crystalline spikes broke through the granite's embrace and rapidly spread and grew. The exoskeleton's armor extended and covered the body's surface, and the skin cracked open with scarlet fissures. As synthetic combustibles seeped out, Li Aoz's body instantly burst into a raging fire, igniting the flames that were originally confined within his body. The soil covering the rock strata instantly turned red-hot and charred black.

[Dominator - Purifying Flames]

At the same time, the Erbium Gold covered Alexia's arms and legs to the maximum extent, and golden thorns popped out, gleaming brightly.

Beside her, the rock-encased Li Aoz suddenly raised his hand, shattering the useless rock layers on his body, and the scorching lava transformed into armor.

[Overlord: Earth Armor]

Li Aoz's body grew rapidly, surging to 2.4 meters tall. The restraint of gravity allowed the veins flowing with flames to calmly form intricate patterns.

[Overlord: Eternal Physique]

The nerve tendrils that sprang from the palm coiled around the arm like serpents, and the fingertips were covered with red and black crystals.

[Overlord: Vitality Rainbow Conduit]

He drew his plain-cut longsword, and his right hand instantly transformed into a sharp claw, his nails extending inwards. His hand shape immediately adapted to the shape of the hilt, and red and black crystals wrapped and extended along the plain-cut blade, forming a specialized, slender crystal Tachi. A demon full of murderous resentment appeared from behind him, causing the evil spirit opposite him to glance at him slightly.

"That malevolent aura is so unbearable... Just how many people did he kill to feed that Demon Blade?"

[Overlord: War Devil Blade]

His face was no longer Terror; obsidian clusters surrounded his mask, covering it with a dignified layer. The golden halo in his eyes expanded, shining with golden brilliance under the crystal lenses.

[Overlord: Gravity Field]

boom--

Li Aoz raised his left arm, and flames lashed out at the ground like a peacock's tail feathers, forming a fiery skirt.

"From here, we're going to space together."
