Chen Huijie's blood-stained hands trembled, but she did not put down Chixiao and Yunlie, because the battle was not over yet.

"You lost."

Lin Lu said calmly.

"Heh... Well done, you did a great job."

The immortal black snake shook her head and smiled. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't lift her arms, she might have applauded Lin Lu.

"I want to know why my control over my magic... is still waning?"

If she hadn't lost control at the crucial moment, how could she have been hit by Chen Huijie's clumsy swordsmanship, which was like that of a three-year-old?

Even the dumbest older sister wouldn't hurt her beloved younger sister, right?

Lin Lu provided the answer.

“Besides, Talulah isn’t stupid at all. She’s just too obsessed with perfection. I never taught her to have such unrealistic expectations…” Lin Lu squatted down and tapped Talulah’s forehead. The warmth emanating from his fingers even stunned the immortal black snake.

What kind of tile is this?

Chen Huijie looked bewildered. She glanced around and asked in a trembling voice, "You know my sister?"

Lin Lu put his arm around Talulah's neck and gave Chen Huijie a "V" sign.

"Nice to meet you. This is the second generation of the Reunion Movement, the former leader." Lin Lu pointed to Talulah. "This is the ignorant third generation, the most disgraceful generation in our Reunion Village."

Chen Huijie: "???"

Lin Lu ignored Chen Huijie's bright gaze 2.0, and instead held the Undying Black Serpent tightly by the neck, whispering in her ear, "You think you can completely kill Talulah by killing her sister? Give up, you can't do it with me here. Last time we met, I had the first generation of Reunion, Elmoni, read your memories, the memories that belong to Talulah."

The immortal black snake glared at Lin Lu, but she was unable to move.

That was two weeks ago, the day Reunion captured Chernobog, and also the day Rhodes Island launched its rescue operation.

At that time, Lin Lu defeated the immortal black snake with absolute force, but he also almost lost his life due to the backlash from the broken black card.

“I have already awakened Talulah’s soul. She knows that she cannot take back her body from you now, but she has not given up. She will never die willingly in this body that can be manipulated by others. Even if she dies, she will die as Talulah who wants to change the snowfield and change the fate of the infected! She will never become your puppet. She is... the infected leader I have chosen.”

Lin Lu embraced Talulah's body.

His hands were placed on Talulah's back, touching her wounds and feeling her blood.

"Perhaps you despair at your own powerlessness, perhaps you feel the inescapable shame so intense that you want to commit suicide. Watching Mephistopheles and Faust, and so many Reunion warriors who sacrificed themselves for you, all in vain because of this old serpent. But remember, you will not be another black serpent. Believe in what those who chase the sunlight taught you: Bozokasti, Yelena, and... Alina. Believe in them, believe in me, and believe in yourself who can atone."

A light gradually appeared in Talulah's eyes.

"Stop thinking about it, she is me... I am her!"

The immortal black snake tried to struggle, glaring at Lin Lu, but Chen Huijie still noticed the subtle changes in her eyes.

"sister."

Chen Huijie lowered her head.

"Come back..."

A determined look flashed across Talulah's eyes.

"No—" The immortal black snake tried to struggle, but Lin Lu held her tightly. His affinity with people of all races, regardless of gender, age, or race, came into play again. Even a thousand years of willpower could not resist it. In Lin Lu's embrace, she couldn't even lift her hands.

The true Talulah is gradually awakened, and the ancient will is constantly being worn down. Even the undead have their moments of exhaustion.

The immortal black serpent roared, "There will always be another Chernobog and another awakened puppet, and another Talulah! You cannot stop the Core City, and you cannot stop me! Remember this: even at the ends of this earth, I will be there, immortal and indestructible!"

"Then you underestimate me."

Lin Lu took out a card from the class card box.

White card.

Lin Lu had never understood the purpose of this card before, but in reality... this white card was even more powerful than the black card.

"What's this?!"

The immortal black snake exclaimed in fear, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition, a fear that emanated from the depths of her soul.

I see you.

Lin Lu stared at the immortal black snake and said calmly, "I've come to find you."

The white card fell into the card slot of the Ark Driver. Lin Lu clapped it with one hand, and the mechanical sound of the driver running was clear and loud.

"Prog Rise"

Lin Lu turned to look at Chen Huijie and smiled, "Wait for me."

Immediately afterwards, Lin Lu's cobalt blue eyes gradually became dull and lifeless, and his dark eyes lost their color.

Chen Huijie stood there, stunned, watching as Lin Lu and Talulah fell asleep in each other's arms.

What's happening here?

A double suicide pact?

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

When Lin Lu opened his eyes again, he found himself in the Northern Ice Plains, where a burning village stood before him.

The barren frozen soil was scorched black, and the flames seemed to burn along with the sky, leaving the ground stained with the color of blood.

Lin Lu looked back and saw an endless ice field. He saw the white-haired Drak trudging through the boundless snow, each step so heavy. Unconsciously, she set fire to the ground she trod, leaving a trail of fire. Everything except the person she was carrying vanished in the flames.

The Elafia girl trembled against her back, occasionally gasping for breath.

The girl was seriously injured; her hand was gone, leaving only a bloody, severed piece, from which blood dripped incessantly.

The white-haired Drak wanted to scream, to cry, to squeeze all her feelings out of her lungs, as if that could erase the disaster that had already happened from her body. But she couldn't make a sound; she just carried the girl of Erafia across the ice field, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

For three years, she has been unable to leave this place.

This is Talulah's spiritual world.

It was also her prison.

Chapter 450 The Most Benevolent and Kind Demon King

The blood-red sky suddenly darkened, and with a series of thunderous roars, a giant black python coiled its massive body around Lin Lü. The burning village was completely annihilated simply because it blocked its path, and the eerie chill made the icy plains seem surprisingly warm.

A massive, jet-black serpent, its body arched, descended before Lin Lu. It was estimated to be nearly fifty meters long, its thick body covered in black scales the size of a human face. On its triangular head, blood-red vertical pupils radiated a chilling aura, fixed intently on Lin Lu.

Lin Lu nodded and exclaimed, "I must say, this is exactly how a final boss should look now."

"How dare you come here? Who gave you the courage? Talulah's body is no match for my soul! Only here can I unleash my true power! I will make you watch as everyone who enters the core city dies, and I will make you regret your foolishness! Compared to Talulah, I want your body more!"

"...No matter how chaotic and evil I am, I can't afford to use DIO on your true form."

Lin Lu suddenly shivered. He wasn't Xu Xian, the mighty and valiant man.

"Why don't you try turning into a beautiful girl?"

Just as Lin Lu was sincerely asking his question, the black snake shot out like an arrow and instantly bit at Lin Lu.

"They're really in a hurry."

Lin Lu shook his head helplessly, put the class card he had prepared into the Ark Driver, and pushed the side handle with both hands.

"Caster"

The mirrored light screen rose up, and the black snake's huge head crashed into it, producing a deafening roar.

"Crack."

A crack appeared on the mirrored light screen.

This was the first time Lin Lu had seen the framework of the mirror spell nearly collapse since he used the invincible transformation rule.

It seems the Black Serpent was not exaggerating; in the spiritual world, He is no less powerful than the Great Old Ones.

"So what?"

Lin Lu started running and rushed into the light screen.

"Aurhorize (Authorization Successful)"

The immortal black serpent's enormous head was knocked off, and its massive body slid backward along the ground, emitting painful howls.

As the dust settled, the figure standing on the ice field appeared incredibly small, its oversized, ill-fitting coat swaying in the wind.

“Ark Ride Amiya”

—The leader of Rhodes Island.

Lin Lu stood on the ground, looking at his hands, his delicate, fair hands adorned with ten cyan rings. He slowly raised his head, feeling the pain throughout his body, as if iron needles were moving through his veins.

These are symptoms of a severe form of Oripathy, the pain of which is almost maddening.

However, the little girl became accustomed to this pain. Dragging her sick body, which should have been lying in a hospital bed and wearing a ventilator, she walked fearlessly across the Terra, never missing a single battle for Rhodes Island.

"Amiya..."

Lin Lu clenched his fists and looked up at the huge black snake.

"How come there's a Caterpillar here?"

The black snake stared at Lin Lu, its laughter deafening, as if the heavens and earth were trembling.

"What can a mere little rabbit change?"

"She has the ability to change the world."

Lin Lu replied, his gaze unwavering.

"Amiya can change this rotten world, she can change the fate of all the infected, she is my queen."

Black Snake laughed wildly, "What a joke! He's just Carter, and he actually thinks he's something?"

"It's okay, you'll see."

Lin Lu chuckled and raised his right hand, as if touching something, feeling the power of his soul.

At that very moment, the black serpent stirred again, its momentum immense, carrying the force of a landslide and a tsunami.

He couldn't just stand by and watch, letting Lin Lu find a way to defeat him.

"You're scared."
