"You know my suggestion is correct, you understand this clearly."

"Therefore, even if you doubt, you will definitely carry out the plan according to my suggestion."

The double-headed bird "Aurora" leaned forward slightly, with a "teasing" posture and tone, and said with a smile, "So don't play your little tricks in front of me, you little fool."

"Your thoughts in front of me are as laughable as children playing house; once you open your mouth, I already know what you want to say."

"If you want to use deception, you need to learn more."

"Besides... currently, you are not qualified to know my name."

"The moment I utter my name, all substances here, including your consciousness and souls, will be completely annihilated, leaving not a shred of remnants."

"Does this explanation satisfy you?"

"..."

Yun You fell into silence.

It must be said, the rhetoric of the double-headed bird is indeed too clever. Yun You thought carefully and realized the finesse within.

This guy made it clear from the very beginning, not afraid of Yun You threatening it by any means, nor afraid of the little girl not believing it.

Its only weakness might be Aurora, but it grasped Yun You's character thoroughly, knowing the little Apprentice Death God would never harm Aurora for a single truth.

So, it remained firm all the time.

Yet, while being firm, it also emphasized between the lines that its interests align with Yun You's, at least temporarily, both aiming to defeat Tai Sui and return safely to the real world...

The trust built by this interest relation is stronger than ten thousand verbal promises.

It made Yun You accept its proposal unconsciously.

Finally, it used an irrefutable reason to evade the issue of its identity.

"Really cunning!"

Yun You gritted her teeth, wanting to tease and mock a few words, but after thinking, she decided to let it go...

With the eloquence of the double-headed bird, who knows who will be mocking whom when the time comes.

"I shall trust you once more!"

The little girl pouted and murmured, then raised the Dragon Gun, aimed at Tai Sui, and pulled the trigger again.

"Boom—!"

Red light flashed, the dragon's might rose again.

Crimson laser gushed out, transforming into a fierce and terrifying beast, once more slaughtering Tai Sui, burning and chopping this monster into pieces, raising a continuous blood rain again.

This strike precisely hit Tai Sui's intestines, burning it along with the liver organs into residue.

Tai Sui, already severely injured and unable to heal, now was even more on the brink of death.

Its enormous body at this moment only had a few mangled remnants left.

Had it not been still breathing, the flesh still trembling slightly, others might truly think Tai Sui had fallen.

And the thing still keeping it hanging on its last breath, allowing it to continue to linger...

Was precisely its final organ—the true Tai Sui Heart.

As the double-headed bird mentioned, Tai Sui's heart, like the previous Headless Giant's heart, is only the size of a grain, tightly embedded in the hard heart-protecting muscle, appearing like a glowing white gem, containing immense energy sufficient to support Tai Sui's life activities.

It should have been hidden in the most hard-to-find muscle crevice within Tai Sui's body, but was flipped out due to the Dragon Gun's shot, prominently displayed before everyone.

"Go and extract it."

The double-headed bird pointed at the white gem, faintly said, "It possesses Tai Sui's true power—a power biologically infinitely close to immortality."

"Ordinary means cannot destroy it, for even if disassembled into atomic state, it can still rely on non-material level spirit to regroup, completing its rebirth."

"But you are different, little one, you have a strange power that can completely obliterate it on the material level."

"Crush it and absorb it."

"In doing so, everything here will come to an end."

"All will end..."

Saying, she paused slightly, then unexpectedly shifted her gaze quietly to another direction—the ceiling overhead.

Up there, is a passage to the outside world, also Tai Sui's esophagus.

When Tai Sui's main body hadn't appeared yet, that was people's only hope... but with the monster's appearance, the esophagus was also sealed, moved to the unreachable ceiling.

It hides in darkness, veiling the smell of the outside reality.

Why did the double-headed bird suddenly look there? And why did it suddenly pause?

No one knows...

No one could notice, mysteriously, the double-headed bird suddenly let out a negligible sigh, unknown whether sighing for Tai Sui or lamenting something else...

"Everyone's ending is already determined the moment they make their choice."

"Want to change fate? It's nothing but foolish dreaming."

After silently uttering some "inexplicable" words, the double-headed bird "Aurora" shook its head and glanced back at Yun You.

"After crushing the heart, this cave will revert to its original form."

"By that time, wanting to leave will be as easy as flipping your hand."

"Hmm..."

Yun You nodded. Just as she was about to step forward, the Dragon Gun in her hand suddenly burst with a "bang," transforming into scattered red sparks, which then reabsorbed into the Red Scale.

It seems that the life force provided by Master Zero has been completely exhausted.

The young girl gently stroked the Red Scale on the back of her hand, feeling the lingering warmth of the scales.

Even though the Dragon Gun had dispersed, she could still feel the immense power of that weapon.

As Master Zero said, next time she wants to use the Dragon Gun, Yun You would likely have to pay a great price.

The magnitude of power and the level of sacrifice are, after all, conserved.

"Hiss... so painful..."

Lost in thought, Yun You suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her waist and abdomen.

On a closer look, her waist, injured by the Tai Sui laser earlier, had not yet healed and was still oozing blood.

"Regardless of that, I should just eat that organ first!"

The young girl clutched her waist, gritting her teeth as she moved toward the Tai Sui.

No obstacles, and no unexpected occurrences arose.

She reached the vague mass of flesh and blood, grabbing the crystalline heart.

Tai Sui's strongest muscle groups were all entwined around its heart, forming vine-like steel cables.

Trying to forcibly extract it is undoubtedly extremely difficult... even with an industrial pulling machine, it might not be possible.

But this clearly did not pose a challenge for Yun You.

She closed her eyes, and the pattern of the Death God Sequence on the back of her hand morphed again, forming a mist and a dagger.

[Invisible Sequence Trait: Divine Extraction - Activate!]

Silently, the muscle groups on the crystal heart severed inch by inch, as if meeting something incredibly sharp, directly severing their conceptual connection with the heart!

When Yun You opened her eyes again...

Tai Sui's last organ, the heart, was already in her grasp!

Victory ultimately belonged to her.

"Eat!"

Without any hesitation.

In the instant she extracted the heart, Yun You directly activated the [Eating] ability.

An invisible eating power instantly enveloped the crystal heart, breaking it down inch by inch into pure energy, merging into the young girl's palm.

The immense nutrients nourished Yun You's body, swiftly healing her injuries and injecting most of the energy into the "lord" sequence.

"It was all worth it..."

Feeling the surge of power, Yun You was delighted.

This heart is truly "hard to eat," and might take several hours to fully digest.

However, this waiting period, to Yun You at this moment, naturally seemed trivial.

"Once I fully consume this heart, the final lord sequence should activate..."

"By then, I'll find more delicacies for Master Zero..."

The young girl was incredibly excited.

Meanwhile, Jack and the others quietly waited, smiling as they watched Yun You grow stronger and stronger.

As teammates, they were genuinely happy for Yun You's empowerment.

But just when everything seemed fine...

A slow clap suddenly echoed from the ceiling.

"Clap... Clap... Clap..."

Soon after, a figure jumped down from the ceiling's esophagus, gradually materializing from the shadows...

"To be able to defeat the second phase of Tai Sui, not bad, really not bad..."

"If used as nourishment, it could certainly foster the third or even fourth parasitic phase of Tai Sui."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled, instinctively looking toward the shadow.

And then, they saw a silhouette...

A somewhat familiar silhouette.

It was an old man, wearing a lab coat and a pair of reading glasses, limping as if he had a lame leg, yet carried a great sense of authority.

This person, Yun You had seen in the records of the Yangshan Town laboratory... moreover, he was someone who was supposed to be dead.

His name was Xie Kang.

Biotechnology researcher and head of the Yangshan Town laboratory, Xie Kang.
