After the End (Continued)

If...

"Forehead..."

Before there was time to get excited, a tentacle swung out decisively, sending the Black Snake flying!

Her body, which had been sent flying, elicited another unexpected sound.

"Quack!" A black and white penguin suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

After the Black Snake was knocked away, it landed right next to him by sheer coincidence.

It gave him a huge fright.

But a moment later, the penguin saw the disheveled figure that had landed beside it and started cawing.

"Old man, what happened to you?!"

"The Emperor?!"

The Black Snake clearly recognized the renowned Bird Lord, and gritted its teeth, letting out a sound of resentment.

The blow from that Blades almost cost her her life!

"Yes, that's me, the rap superstar! The Emperor!"

Despite being on the battlefield, the Emperor showed no fear whatsoever. On the contrary, he leisurely lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

"What are you doing here! Your Emperor, are you trying to stop me too?"

The Black Snake struggled to stand up, its sinister and venomous eyes fixed on its opponent.

Meanwhile, Kal'tsit and the others were completely absorbed by these terrifying monsters and had no time to pay attention to what was happening here.

"Don't mention it, my good brother. What you do is your business, I'm not interested... I'm just here to see my top salesperson."

The Emperor cackled twice, completely unconcerned about what the Black Snake had done.

He's just here to see Texas.

Of course, he didn't completely avoid contacting Black Snake.

Someone asked me to pass on a message to you.

"Um?"

She'll be here soon.

"She?"

The Black Snake was somewhat stunned.

That's how the Emperor is; his actions and words are all strange.

Black Snake had absolutely no idea what this guy was thinking.

Even the top salesperson she mentioned, Black Snake didn't actually know who it was.

But she soon found out.

"Buzz--!"

Strange noises echoed throughout the city.

A huge lighthouse suddenly appeared in the distance, appearing blurry.

The figure looked so unreal, but the lights within it were so real!

Is it another mobile platform?

No, impossible!

They hadn't noticed anything unusual beforehand, so if there really was a mobile platform... how come they didn't react at all?

Without anyone understanding what was happening, warm yellow light scattered all over the ground.

Golden streams of air flowed out and finally entered the bodies of the injured Yeti Squad.

The Yeti Squad members, who had been killed and rendered incapacitated, suddenly stood up one by one.

Their strength seemed to suddenly surge, and they charged forward again, wave after wave, towards the Blades on the side!

Even if they are killed, even if they are beaten into mincemeat.

In just a few breaths, they can reappear on the earth!

Even the surrounding Originium began to stir restlessly.

This unusual behavior made her uneasy.

On the contrary, the Emperor seemed unusually excited at this moment.

"Is this her power? Sure enough, my feeling back then was right, that's exactly what she is!"

"This is so cool!"

"What are you talking about?!" Black Snake was getting frantic.

The originally planned schemes were repeatedly disrupted, and the once stable situation was repeatedly overturned.

By this point, even the Black Snake was getting a little exasperated.

But more than anything else, what she cares about now is: why did all of this happen?

Why was I forced into this situation?

Who exactly is behind this?

But the Emperor remained as calm and composed as ever.

He slowly took a drag of his cigarette and exhaled.

"Why don't you just ask her directly?"

"She?"

"It's right here."

The Black Snake can be seen.

A distinctly mocking smile appeared on the bird lord, whom he loathed so much.

Before she could react...

Right there beside her, a faint scent of incense wafted into her nostrils...

This familiar yet unfamiliar scent made her body tense.

A terrible memory suddenly flooded her mind.

The stiff... intimidating woman stood quietly to one side.

Maria!

How did she end up here...?

Before the Black Snake could finish her thought, she saw that in Maria's hands was a tattered coat...

The familiar design struck Black Snake as particularly striking.

That's... Blades's clothes!

In an instant, Black Snake connected the dots to the Inner Guards squad that had said they were in some trouble.

I initially thought the other person had tripped over something.

So... did he meet this woman?

Judging from her condition... that Blades is probably already...

Thinking of this, the Black Snake couldn't help but want to run away.

But Maria only glanced at her before grabbing her by the neck without saying a word.

"You bastard..."

Black Snake's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

She could feel the intense suffocation rushing into her brain; for just a moment, she felt as if Maria was about to snap her neck.

But Chen, standing to the side, seemed hesitant to speak.

She knew that Maria was doing the right thing.

After all, the Black Snake had committed too many evils, and its form was so peculiar that no one knew whether it was Talulah who harmed their loved ones or the Black Snake.

For both Black Snake and Talulah, killing them on the spot is the best option.

But... if possible.

She truly didn't want Talulah to die as well.

Maria noticed this as well.

After hesitating for a moment, she turned around.

Do you want her to live?

"Ah?"

Chen was stunned for a while when she was suddenly asked the question, but after gritting her teeth and remaining silent for a long time, she nodded slightly.

"I... don't really want her to die."

After saying that, Chen felt he was being too sentimental.

At this moment, the Black Snake and Talulah are one entity; if Talulah wants to live, then the Black Snake will also live.

If you want Black Snake to die, Talulah must die too.

Their demands are so demanding that they completely disregard the efforts of others!

So after saying that, she lowered her head in shame.

"Whom do you not want to die?"

Maria asked again.

This question took everyone by surprise.

But when they looked up at us, they all fell silent.

Maria suddenly raised both hands, holding two Talulah at the same time!

A Talulah was real, her wide eyes filled with a natural bewilderment.

Who am I? Where am I? Am I not dead yet?

On the other side, 'Talulah' was composed entirely of black mist, her blank eyes filled with astonishment.

She seemed to realize something, but before she could understand how it was done, her eyes widened, and she tried to struggle down.

Everyone immediately realized what was happening.

Maria... shedding the Black Snake from Talulah's body?!

How did they do that?!

Everyone was surprised.

But Kal'tsit, who was standing to the side, had already given her answer.

"That one that's just an illusion!"

"I see..."

Maria nodded.

He turned his hand and gently pinched it up.

"Etc!"

Talulah, formed from black mist, stared wide-eyed.

She tried to struggle.

But in just a moment, her body disintegrated, and the painting turned into wisps of black mist, which were guided toward the distant lighthouse.

Meanwhile, the real Talulah landed on the ground, coughing uncontrollably.
