[Well...]
The dark-haired woman on his back let out a low moan, Richard couldn't help but shiver; every hair on his body stood on end.
He instantly felt that this woman had transformed from an innocent Xiao Bai into a tyrannosaur ready to devour its prey.
Richard quickly threw the woman off, and with a flicker, disappeared from the spot.
The next second, he appeared beside Old Li.
"Huh? Old Li, the color on your head... you've turned into Player?!"
Richard was overjoyed when he saw the green, safe level 99 above Old Li's head as soon as he landed.
"It's Mother..." Old Li looked gratefully at the Mother of Source Star.
"Huh?!" Richard blinked. What's going on? They've only been separated for a short time, and Old Richard's attitude towards the Mother of Origin Star has already changed???
He didn't ask why, but pointed to the black-haired woman in the air. "That black-haired woman is the core of the Illusory World!"
"Be very careful, her level in the Illusory World is as high as 120! Although it has been compressed to level 100 now, it is still fundamentally different from ordinary level 100 monsters!"
The Mother of Source Star immediately understood that Richard's last words were a reminder to her. She bowed her head in thanks, "Thank you for your reminder, my child."
"You're welcome!" Richard looked up at His perfect face and quickly forced a smile.
This person is, after all, the World Soul of Source Star. Even Old Li, who was schemed against the most, chose to forgive him, so why should he be the bad guy?
"You'd better seal that circular Portal. The Black Chain behind those two level 100 Beast are connected to the Illusory World and are continuously supplying them with energy!"
"So that's how it is!" The Mother of Source Star's enormous, tea-yellow eyes lit up, and her massive body flashed back to the ground.
He raised his greatsword high and plunged it into the ground: [Power of the Source Star, heed my command, seal!]
The surrounding area near the celestial Portal instantly changed color.
'Rumble~'
Suddenly, a rumble of thunder sounded, and wisps of holy golden clouds appeared out of thin air, quickly enveloping the entire circular Portal.
The Mother of Source Star gazed at the golden clouds and roared, "Condense!"
'Click~'
The golden clouds instantly solidified, and the three black locks snapped.
"Not good!!!"
The expressions of the White Jade Giant Elephant and the Earth-Yellow Giant Lizard changed drastically at the same time.
Their level 100 above their heads changed rapidly, instantly dropping to level 99...
Now they can no longer confront the Mother of Source Star -on!
Just then, the black-haired woman's eyes regained their full luster.
She looked around, her delicate eyebrows furrowing tightly.
[ Source Star Game World?]
The black-haired woman turned her cold gaze to Richard.
Did you infiltrate my world just to bring me here?
Richard froze, instantly feeling as if he were being stared at by a terrifying, prehistoric beast.
He knew very well that he was no match for the black-haired woman, so he used crimson Mana to teleport Old Li behind the Mother of Source Star.
Richard peeked out from behind the Mother of Source Star, looking extremely arrogant as if he had found a powerful backer:
"The great Mother of Source Star, she glared at me, she glared at me!"
Old Li:...
Mother of Source Star:...
Black-haired woman:...
Even the White Jade Giant Elephant and the yellowish-brown lizard that had hidden next to the black-haired woman showed a -_-|| expression.
Old Li sighed, "Young friend, why is your personality becoming more and more like Friend No. 1..."
"Me, like No. 1?!" Richard turned to Old Li with a serious expression and argued, " No. 1 is my Clone, I am the Main Body. He's the one who resembles me!"
The Mother of Source Star drew her greatsword, pointing it at the black-haired woman high in the sky. "I, the Soul of the Source Star World Soul, challenge you to a duel on behalf of Source Star!"
"If I am defeated, you can do whatever you want with me and Source Star!"
"If I win, please restore freedom to Source Star!"
The black-haired woman lowered her head, her cold black eyes meeting the Mother of Source Star's enormous tea-yellow eyes, and her delicate brows furrowed once more.
[I do not understand...]
Why are you resisting?
[I guided Source Star onto a supreme path of evolution...]
The Mother of Source Star proudly raised her head and declared, "[I disagree!]"
[My children and I don't need your guidance!]
[ Source Star will forge its own future!]
Enough talk, let's fight!
A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on the Mother of Source Star.
A moment later, the golden light disappeared.
His enormous body was draped in a gleaming golden full-body armor.
"Holy crap, so handsome!"
Richard craned his neck to look at the armor, almost drooling with envy.
He inexplicably recalled the level 45 purple Pale Wood Armor he had left in his inventory. Compared to the armor of the Mother of Source Star, it was like comparing heaven and earth!
The woman in black silently observed the Mother of Source Star, who was now fully auraed, her expression indifferent. "As you wish..."
She stretched out her hands, palms facing the White Jade Giant Elephant and the Earth-Yellow Giant Lizard respectively.
The White Jade Giant Elephant trembled in fear. "No! Master..."
The Earth-Yellow Giant Lizard desperately curled up, trembling with fear.
Waaaaah, if I'd known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to die fighting like the Gorilla and the Stinky Bird!!!
The black-haired woman parted her red lips slightly: [Come!]
The White Jade Giant Elephant and the Earth-Yellow Giant Lizard displayed expressions of extreme pain as their bodies gradually transformed into wisps of pure energy particles.
These energy particles were continuously absorbed into the body by the black-haired woman from her palms.
A dark, hazy light rose from her body, growing brighter with the continuous infusion of energy particles.
And the LV100 on her head began to shake violently!
Soon, the enormous bodies of the White Jade Giant Elephant and the Earth-Yellow Giant Lizard were transformed into energy particles, which were absorbed into the black-haired woman's body.
Suddenly, her entire body was illuminated by a black light that devoured everything.
A moment later, the black light disappeared.
The black-haired woman's appearance changed drastically.
She wore a small, exquisite crown on her head and a Black Crystal Plate Armor that shimmered with light. In her right hand, she held a slender Scepter taller than a person, with a Diamond-shaped Black Crystal at the Scepter. Around the Diamond-shaped Black Crystal, twelve small spheres floated and rotated continuously.
At that moment, the LV100 above her head turned jet black and shiny.
The black-haired woman lightly tapped her Scepter and solemnly said:
[My name is Yan, the Lord of the Machine Spirit Mystic Realm!]
[Your bet is on!]
If you win, I will grant you freedom from Source Star!
The Mother of Source Star's enormous, amber-colored eyes instantly ignited with golden, divine flames, and she let out a long laugh:
"Alright! Then let me see just how strong you really are!"
His figure flashed, instantly appearing beside Yan, his massive two-handed sword tearing through space and viciously slashing towards her head.
Yan's expression remained unchanged. She did not choose to dodge, but instead gently raised her slender Scepter, the Diamond-shaped Black Crystal head of which rested against the tip of her Two-Handed Greatsword.
The once menacing giant sword came to an abrupt halt.
'Buzz~'
A hurricane-like shockwave instantly erupted at the point where the Scepter and the greatsword clashed.
Yan's long, straight black hair danced in the wind. She slowly turned her head, a clear hint of doubt flashing in her dark eyes.
Is this your power?
