This Time... I've Eaten My Fill

Bai Sheng quickly placed Pandora in front of him, preventing Beleria from biting him. Aatrox also needed to hibernate to recover its strength after just finishing its Great Annihilation mode, so Bai Sheng's combat power was severely reduced at this moment.

The Firefly Alpha, which was on the verge of shattering, had now crumbled into dust and had to be forcibly returned to space for slow self-repair.

"Beleria! Wake up!"

Bai Sheng's Path energy surged again, pushing Beleria away.

"Ah! Ahhh!"

Beleria, like a small beast that had spotted its prey, stared intently at Bai Sheng with pure white pupils, as if she would pounce and devour him the next second.

"Sister Pandora, do you have a solution?"

Bai Sheng asked in his mind. Since Phantylia didn't have her own physical body, she must have survived in a special way. If it were her soul, Bai Sheng might be able to resolve it.

"Not yet, Bai Sheng. Be careful. Find an opportunity to hold your friend down and stop her from using Path energy anymore. Her life force is dwindling."

Bai Sheng looked at Beleria. Her once soft white hair was now like withered grass on cracked earth, but the Path energy she exuded was becoming increasingly potent. Before long, Beleria attacked Bai Sheng again.

"I didn't want to do this, as it goes against my aesthetic of [Destruction]. Now, kid, if you don't kill her, she'll die from the outpouring of Path energy, burning her life away. If you kill her, she'll truly be at peace. Plunge that scythe of yours into her neck, hehehe..."

Bai Sheng blocked Beleria's attacks while also dealing with Phantylia's instigation. Annoyed, he desperately wanted to find Phantylia and inflict the most vicious torture he could imagine upon her.

This was truly the power of a war weapon created by people like Beleria. At critical moments, they exchanged life force for immense power.

"Hurry up and choose, kid, or you'll be the one to die."

"Shut up!"

Bai Sheng steeled himself, kicked Beleria away, and then swung his Scythe Blade, cutting down two pillars in the ruins behind them to trap Beleria within.

But this was only temporary. Before Bai Sheng could recover, Beleria had already broken free from the restraints, her claws lunging towards Bai Sheng's face.

"It's over!"

Bai Sheng closed his eyes, thinking he was going to be disfigured. But when he opened them again, he saw Beleria's hand less than an inch from his face.

A trace of consciousness returned to Beleria's pure white pupils. She was resisting Phantylia's control to harm Bai Sheng.

"Bai... Bai Sheng... Kill me... I... I'm in so much pain..."

Tears streamed down Beleria's cheeks. She didn't want her hard-won friend to die, but she couldn't resist Phantylia's control. Since she had already burned her life to gain Path energy, she wouldn't live much longer anyway. Having her friend end her life was undoubtedly the best option.

"There has to be a way, Sister Pandora, think of something!"

Bai Sheng wanted to save her. She hadn't even seen a big city, the sea of stars, or the planet she lived on. Back in the prison, Bai Sheng had promised her he would take her to see them someday!

"I'm sorry, Bai Sheng, I can't do anything either."

Pandora's disappointed answer echoed in his mind.

(PS: Bai Sheng and Beleria have a relationship similar to friends or siblings. The only female lead is Huo Huo! Believe me, Huo Huo will appear in at most three chapters! Pure love is the best!)

"It's... too late... She's... very powerful, I can't resist her... But, it's okay... Bai Sheng... Kill me..."

Bai Sheng still couldn't bring himself to do it, even though the life force on Beleria's body was continuously draining.

Seeing Bai Sheng's hesitation, Beleria didn't want to make him difficult for her sake. She used all her strength, and her Path energy erupted again, temporarily breaking free from Phantylia's control. She rushed to Bai Sheng's side, grabbed Pandora's Scythe Blade, and plunged it into her own chest...

"Pfft..."

Blood gushed out, but Beleria still had a smile on her lips. She wanted to wipe away the blood splattered on Bai Sheng's face, but then she saw her own withered, pale hand and put it down.

"You..."

Beleria shook her head and then slowly said:

"Heh... Hehehe, this time, I've eaten my fill..."

As she spoke, the light in Beleria's eyes gradually faded. Her hands seemed unable to bear the weight of their shackles any longer and fell limply to the ground, but a smile remained on her lips.

Perhaps, this was the final fate of a war weapon, artificially modified like her.

But she, Beleria! She didn't die on the battlefield, but in front of her dearest, best friend! Other people wouldn't even get such an opportunity!

"Beleria..."

Bai Sheng put Pandora back into his space. Without support, Beleria swayed like a candle in the wind, but Bai Sheng caught her in time.

So light.

That was Bai Sheng's first sensation. He placed Beleria on the ground, closed her eyes, and then, Bai Sheng finally saw Phantylia's true form.

"Kid, I actually lost to you here. But it's fine, your friend is probably dead too, haha. Honestly, one after another, they all die for you. I should go, goodbye! I hope you enjoy this not-so-grand [Destruction]."

The green firelight was about to float upwards, but Bai Sheng gripped Pandora again, covering the entire Scythe Blade with his [Harmony] Path energy.

"Bang!"

"Ahhh! You actually managed to hurt me! Very good, I'll remember you. I look forward to next time, when I will personally refine you into a Void!"

After uttering her threat, Phantylia fled with her tail between her legs.

"You think you can just leave, you little bug from the Ancestor of Annihilation!"

"Glorious divine might, obey my command, strike without mercy!"

Jing Yuan, who had been holding back, could finally make a move. The barrier Black Swan had helped him construct earlier had successfully prevented Phantylia from discovering him. His disciple's friend had been harmed by her, so he had to get some answers.

According to the Stellaron Hunters, that girl would revive, but unfortunately, Jing Yuan was protective. After sensing the Stellaron Hunters' gaze disappear, he made a decisive move!

If the Divine Might could kill Phantylia, it would be a happy ending. If not, it would at least severely wound her.

As expected, the golden Divine Might, wielding its array blade, directly heavily injured Phantylia.

"You... General of the [The Hunt]! Wait for revenge from [Destruction]!"

This time, Phantylia truly fled, and she fled quickly. She had already vanished before the Divine Might could strike a second time.

Recalling the Divine Might, Jing Yuan approached Bai Sheng and said to him:

"I apologize. For various reasons, I was unable to assist when your friend was in trouble."

Bai Sheng gave a wry smile.

"It's not your fault, Master. That strike you just delivered was magnificent and felt like you were getting revenge for your disciple. I don't blame you..."

At this moment, Pandora's voice suddenly rang out:

"Bai Sheng, wouldn't you like to know about the [Seven Sins]?"
