It's Your Fault She Became Like This.

Phantylia confronted the three of them. Despite having only one arm left, she could still fend off their attacks.

Powerful Path energy poured out like it was free, and the entire battlefield was covered in solid ice.

The three of them were fending off Phantylia's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. Among them, even Bai Sheng, the strongest, was struggling to block ice cones that seemed to appear out of nowhere at any moment.

"Aatrox!"

Bai Sheng decided not to hold back anymore. If this continued, it would affect the evacuated civilians in the distance.

He indeed held a grudge against the Emperor, but he felt no hatred towards those people. On the contrary, Bai Sheng wouldn't have even wanted to go to war if it weren't for the people of this country.

Aatrox understood Bai Sheng's intention, and its entire body began to dissipate, returning to Pandora as red and black light particles.

As the light particles returned, the Scythe Blade of Pandora began to change. The entire blade grew larger, becoming sharper and more menacing.

The black and red color scheme exuded an irrepressible arrogance. This time, it wasn't just Pandora that changed; Bai Sheng himself began to transform.

"Great Annihilation, activate!"

The previously constructed Path of Destruction was torn to shreds by this brand-new power of Destruction, feeding back into Bai Sheng.

Black armor plates began to grow on Bai Sheng's body, and he grew two terrifyingly large horns on his head, similar to Aatrox's. However, his horns grew upwards. His height suddenly shot up to two meters, and his eyes remained golden, but with a more pronounced aura of brutality mixed in.

"Come on, I'll kill you even if you're an Envoy! Beleria! Get to the side and take cover!"

Bai Sheng felt the power. This fusion, unlike his previous simple and crude construction of Paths, allowed him to feel his Path shifting from Harmony to Destruction.

Furthermore, the quality of his Path energy had significantly improved compared to before. Although it was only temporary, it was already comparable to Phantylia's Path quality.

Beleria wanted to help, but Bai Sheng's words made her obediently find a piece of rubble far from the battlefield to recover her strength.

Bai Sheng had already sensed it earlier: the scent of Abundance within Beleria was disappearing at an extremely rapid rate. This was Beleria's terrifying battlefield consumption! That was the power of Abundance. Although it was only the amount from one Abundance Pathwalker, it could still be equivalent to the vitality of hundreds or even thousands of people.

Beleria was mainly using her energy to heal her wounds. She couldn't charge to the front lines fearlessly like Aatrox. Aatrox's body was a puppet's; it could even self-repair if damaged, but she couldn't. Her physical body was real and couldn't withstand such fierce attacks.

The wounds on her body were quickly healed by Beleria, so she wouldn't delay Aatrox, who was creating opportunities for her while enduring being pierced by ice spikes.

It could be said that if it weren't for that mass of flesh, Beleria would have already lost control and gone berserk.

After settling Beleria, Bai Sheng turned back to look at Phantylia, who was calmly watching him. However, Bai Sheng didn't notice at this moment that a faint, almost imperceptible trace of green fire flickered behind Beleria.

"What is this power? How could that brat gain the power of a Darkin?"

Phantylia murmured, then continued to release ice spikes, attempting to keep him here.

Unexpectedly, Bai Sheng didn't struggle to resist this time. When the ice spikes collided with Pandora, they shattered like eggs hitting rocks, turning into dust.

Bai Sheng swung Pandora with great force, and gradually, Phantylia's ice spikes could no longer suppress him. Instead, Bai Sheng found an opportunity and pinned her with a scythe strike onto a giant rock.

Crimson blood flowed, but Phantylia didn't seem to care. Instead, she grabbed Pandora, and a layer of frost gradually covered the black and red scythe blade.

"Heh, you don't think you've won, do you?"

As she spoke, Phantylia's body suddenly expanded, and Path energy poured out like it was free.

"Not good! She's going to self-destruct!"

Bai Sheng was startled. He yanked Pandora out with the power provided by Great Annihilation and flapped his bat wings to distance himself from Phantylia.

"Boom!"

Phantylia's physical body exploded, but Phantylia herself was nowhere to be seen.

Bai Sheng knew that an Envoy of Destruction couldn't die so easily. He tightened his grip on Pandora again, warily scanning his surroundings.

However, besides the cold air emanating from the solid ice, there was no other aura present.

"Sister Pandora, do you know where that Envoy went?"

Pandora responded, emitting purple energy in all directions, but the result was still negative.

"It seems she escaped."

Pandora's voice echoed in Bai Sheng's mind.

Bai Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and exited the Great Annihilation mode. He was utterly exhausted, with very little Path energy left in his body and his stamina completely depleted. Although he felt that things wouldn't end just like this, for now, it was over.

Bai Sheng put away Pandora and walked towards Beleria. He looked at her state. She was lowering her head, her usually perky white bangs now hanging limply. Bai Sheng couldn't see her expression. Just as he was about to poke her shoulder to ask what was wrong, Pandora's voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"Bai Sheng! Stay away from her! Protect yourself!"

Hearing this, Bai Sheng didn't hesitate. Firefly Alpha instantly covered him. Back on the Scorched Earth battlefield, Pandora had warned Bai Sheng of impending danger more than once.

Due to this vigilance, Bai Sheng managed to protect himself immediately.

As expected, just as Firefly Alpha covered his entire body, Beleria attacked his chest with sharp shackles.

"Ugh..."

Although Firefly Alpha wasn't fully repaired yet, it had at least absorbed most of the impact.

Even while propping himself up with Pandora, Bai Sheng was forced back a considerable distance.

"Beleria! What's wrong with you?"

Bai Sheng could feel that Beleria's state was wrong. The usual Beleria was always lively, but this Beleria was extremely gloomy, even seeming to have lost all emotion.

"Kid, can you still bring yourself to attack a comrade?"

Suddenly, Phantylia's voice echoed in Beleria's mouth, startling Bai Sheng.

"Phantylia!"

Bai Sheng was annoyed, looking at Beleria attacking him. He couldn't strike back with full force and could only defend passively. Beleria had even entered her ferocious, starved state.

"Thanks to your relentless attacks, this little girl actually dared to consume my [Abundance] tribute. She's quite bold. The reason she's like this is because of you."

Phantylia's voice struck Bai Sheng's heart like muffled thunder. In his momentary daze, Beleria pounced and knocked him to the ground. The starved Beleria opened her mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and lunged for Bai Sheng's throat
