Just Finished Feeling Sorry for Mei! Turned Around and Saw Fu Hua Submerged in a Culture Pod! Tubes Inserted All Over Her Body
"Why..."
The live stream room was deathly silent.
Everyone was deeply saddened by this scene.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya hugged tightly, Tang Ya's eyes already brimming with tears. She remembered her past when she was controlled by the Evil Soul Master and hurt her companions, and she felt that pain deeply.
Xiao Xiao turned her head away, unable to bear watching any longer.
"Too cruel..." Ning Tian muttered to himself.
Xue Ye sighed deeply. As Emperor, he had seen countless deaths and comedies, yet he was still deeply moved by this pure tragedy.
Mei slowly drew her lightning katana, and Kiana's body slumped to the ground.
Before her last shred of consciousness faded, Kiana seemed to hear Mei's whisper.
The sound was as light as the wind, yet as heavy as a mountain.
"That way, you won't get hurt anymore."
Mei reached out and gently held the unconscious Kiana in her arms.
The lightning faded, but the dark clouds in the sky grew even thicker.
She looked down at the pale face of the girl in her arms, and a trace of unconcealed sorrow finally appeared in her cold eyes.
"To protect you, I am willing to fall into darkness."
"In order for you to live on as Kiana Kaslana, I am willing to bear all the Sin of the Lightning Law User."
Each monologue, like the heaviest vow, echoed in everyone's hearts.
"So... that's how it is..." Huo Yuhao's eyes reddened.
He finally understood Mei's full intentions. She wasn't after power, nor was she after revenge; she simply wanted to break the Shackles on Kiana in her own way, even if the price was her own eternal Abyss.
"What a... fool." Tang Wulin's voice was a little hoarse.
He had done countless "foolish things" like this for Gu Yuena.
The Dragon God lowered his enormous head slightly, a complex emotion flickering in his golden eyes. He had witnessed the rise and fall of countless eras, yet he was still moved by this pure and resolute feeling.
Just then, a low, mournful song, as if from the depths of hell, slowly rose up.
That song was sung by Mei.
[The thunder in the Sky Vault proclaims the rebirth of sinners.]
[Torn wings, forever unable to fly towards the light.]
Ye Yinzhu's body jolted violently!
"This is... a lament!" he cried out, "Sinner's Elegy, played at the cost of souls and lives, for the past that has passed, for the future that is certain!"
Zi's expression changed as well. He could hear endless despair and a resolute determination to never turn back in the song.
[Burn myself out to light your way.]
[Bearing this sin, I walk towards a dawn without you.]
As the song played, Mei, holding Kiana, walked step by step toward the edge of the rooftop.
There, a figure was already quietly waiting.
It is the Raven, the messenger of the World Serpent.
"Congratulations, Lightning Law User." Raven's voice carried a hint of amusement.
"You made the right choice."
Mei didn't look at her, but instead gazed down at Kiana in her arms, as if trying to etch her image into the deepest part of her soul.
"From this day forward, I am Lightning Mei."
"The World Serpent, the Lightning Law User."
She declared that she was officially severing ties with the past and embracing the darkness.
"She... she really joined that organization called World Serpent!" Zhou Weiqing's eyes widened.
"Is it acceptable to side with evil just to protect someone?" Dai Hao frowned, unable to comprehend this choice.
"When there are no other options, any straw is a hope." A'Dai Mandun's voice echoed Youyou, and a ripple seemed to appear in his lifeless eyes.
Hai Long, Tian Hen, Changgongwei, Lei Xiang... these once-powerful figures were all silent at this moment. They had witnessed too many situations where they were not in control of their own destiny, and too many tragic choices.
Niu Tian and Tai Tan, two towering men, also had reddened eyes. They could feel the heavy emotion of sacrificing everything to protect their loved ones.
On the screen, Mei gently placed Kiana on a stretcher carried by the medical personnel who had rushed over.
She took one last, deep look at Kiana's sleeping face.
Then, he turned around.
Without the slightest regret.
She followed the Raven toward the enormous, serpentine fighter jet circling above the city.
The lament of sinners echoes in the wind and rain.
The camera slowly pans up, overlooking the entire Changkong City.
On one side is the Lightning Law User, heading into darkness and towards an unknown destiny.
On one side is a sleeping girl left behind, unaware of the whole truth.
The crack in the sky seemed to have become an insurmountable chasm between them.
The image on the Light Screen finally froze on Mei's back as she stepped onto the fighter jet's cockpit door.
Her figure was resolute and lonely, her long purple hair fluttering in the wind, as if bidding a final farewell to this world.
On the Light Screen, the somber hues slowly faded, replaced by a soft morning light.
Kiana sat by the window, holding a doll in her arms, her eyes no longer empty and lifeless.
She began to try eating and talking to Bronya, though she remained mostly silent. But the rekindled spark of life brought a quiet sense of relief to everyone watching her.
"That's great... Miss Kiana, you're finally starting to cheer up." Ning Rongrong said softly, her tone filled with obvious relief.
Tang San nodded slightly. "Immense psychological trauma takes time to heal, but as long as the person still has the will to live, there is always a possibility of recovery."
As he watched the white-haired girl in the video struggling to put food into her mouth, a pang of pity welled up in his heart. The children of this world bear far too many burdens that they shouldn't have to bear.
However, this brief moment of warmth did not last long.
Without warning, the image on the Light Screen abruptly shifted, instantly cutting into a deep, dark place.
It was a huge incubation chamber filled with a cold, technological feel, with a ghastly green, unidentified liquid churning inside, exuding an ominous aura.
In the center of that liquid, a familiar figure was silently suspended.
"That's... Fu Hua!"
Tian Hen gasped in shock, his pupils suddenly contracting.
Not only him, but everyone who had witnessed Fu Hua's 50,000 years of solitude and protection felt a sudden pang in their hearts at that moment.
In the image, Fu Hua's eyes are closed, lifeless, like a carefully preserved specimen. Countless tubes connect to her body, as if extracting something, or as if injecting something.
"What are they doing to Fu Hua!" Ye Yinzhu's voice was filled with anger.
"This place... is deep within the Schicksal Headquarters." Tang San's eyes turned extremely solemn. "Otto! It must be him!"
"What did he do to Fu Hua's body? This looks like a... warm bed?" Huo Yuhao carefully sensed the energy fluctuations revealed in the scene with his Divine Power, but only felt a bottomless chaos and malice.
