"Thinking back now, I was really ridiculous at that time, grinding my claws until they were bloody during training so I wouldn't be left behind, my body bruised all over, yet I could only grow at a slow pace and watch helplessly as your silhouette drifted further away."
Xu Xiaoyou said nothing; Angelina leaned heavily against her, using the Rose Rifle to pick off approaching Fishmen.
Angelina's gaze was mocking, her brows slightly raised: "Hundreds of years feel so long for me, yet you blur those memories in no time at all."
"I'm really sorry, even after hundreds of years of training, I've only grown to this extent. I'm afraid I can only disappoint you now."
"You selfish thing, stop pretending. Inside, you're certainly mad at why I can't hold on a little longer, give you more time, aren't you?"
"Anya?"
Angelina didn't respond, slipping into unconsciousness from her severe injuries in Xu Xiaoyou's arms. Xu Xiaoyou's gaze fixed intently on the wildly spinning dice beside her; upon drawing 'Calamity,' she'd be granted a 'Fortune and Calamity' buff, significantly increasing her odds of rolling above fifty.
This meant the chance of rolling below 50 this time was only 1.98%. The Siren King screeched, appearing at the other end of the corridor, swiftly crawling toward her.
Ten minutes ago, she'd already rolled the Destiny points that increased the probability of rolling above 50 next time, though there was still a one-fifth risk back then; she had to make rational decisions as every opportunity with the [Life and Death Boundary] was crucial—she couldn't use all remaining chances on this island, so she opted to reroll.
The spinning dice stopped, and the rolled points were unsurprisingly greater than 50.
—67.
Successfully triggered the prerequisite conditions of the Life and Death Boundary!
Xu Xiaoyou rose and poured one-third of the remaining assets in her bank account into drawing, massive beams of light fused into her body. She ignored all scattered low-level Skill Cards, activating every effective Skill Card left in her slots simultaneously.
Seven [Candle Dragon Storm], four [Thunderous Fury], two [Furious Sea Fury], two [Dream of the Green Elf] and five [Bloody Slaughterhouse] all fused into one [Bad Girl Workshop].
These were all the Skill Cards she'd accumulated up to the limited level during this period; she was all in now. Just thinking about how her long-term accumulation was wasted made Xu Xiaoyou's eyes blaze with fury. She would pin the Siren King to the execution gallows during the next Life and Death Boundary's hit judgment!
The Siren King madly lunged toward her, Xu Xiaoyou snapped her fingers, and an invisible black gallows immobilized the Siren King's vast body in place, the immense pressure instantaneously denting the ground beneath it into an elliptical pit.
She held two Green Elf Blades entwined with vines, like a divine agent of retribution sent by heaven, muttering arcane Elf language as a lush forest sprouted around the Siren King. The vine-patterned long blades carved a deadly arc, and dark green knife lights surged like a tide toward the Siren King on the gallows.
The gigantic creature roared and struggled, faces full of panic and incredulity twisted on it, seemingly unable to comprehend why its body was injured—why the previously feeble girl was now judging its life, with golden eyes bursting with authority.
Forest Elves raised their bows, invisible streams spiraled into sharp arrows, drawn infinitely long. Elf Dust's Magic Power infused the arrows tempestuous; golden arrows rained down, pinning the Siren King's raised head back to the gallows.
Xu Xiaoyou snapped a second finger, the surrounding Green Elf Forest vanished, turning into molten Purgatory. Six Candle Dragon statues rose from the simmering lava, fiery gold glowed brightly in their vertical eyes; small sharp scales grew at her eye corners, her Spiritual Gaze opening, muttering Ancient Dragon Language.
Elf Dual Blades in hand combined into a Red Flame Giant Blade; the six Candle Dragon statues spewed soul-scorching flames, the Giant Blade swept through, leaving a shocking crimson chasm on the ground, and the Siren King screamed in agony.
The third finger snap sounded, the scene changed again to an underwater palace; Poseidon's gigantic statue rose, the Siren King impaled by the massive Stone Halberd, Xu Xiaoyou muttered Ancient Atlantean Language as thunder coursed through her Golden Trident, currents clashed against the Siren King's body. Water was soft and when enraged was as sharp as the keenest blade; the Siren King's clammy enormous body was slashed open, bleeding profusely.
Xu Xiaoyou's spirit was nearly torn, her Spiritual Gaze trembling, almost jumping from her cheeks, her body driven to the limit. She wanted to snap a fourth finger, but her consciousness inevitably plummeted into the deep sea; her current physical condition could not support completing this [Bad Girl Workshop], forcing it would lead to bodily breakdown.
As her consciousness wavered, with the Siren King bellowing as it began to break free from the gallows' restraint, three Rune Star Rings unfolded at her feet, Xu Xiaoyou slowly widened her eyes; this... was Tang Xin's buff effect?
With her last ounce of strength, she successfully snapped the fourth finger, reaching a precisely structured workshop, where the workshop's six walls rotated continuously, digits fluctuated on the bronze walls.
"Execution Time MaxMize, Rose Workshop!"
The Siren King's body shrank infinitely, confined within a cramped music box, like a lamb in a slaughterhouse, gears' sharp edges slicing its body tens of thousands of times per second, shearing its flesh, and inside it wailed in pain, while the music box played melodious, comforting, and beautiful notes one by one.
She wielded two black long blades; golden long hair fluttered behind, like a steward walking through the night, blades fell in dense repetition upon the previous slash, the knife lights thick as fabric; each strike ripped open space, white, web-like cracks covered the music box, slicing the Siren King inside into hundreds of pieces.
Finally, the workshop expelled white steam from above, hundreds of iron chains wound with rose flowers penetrated the music box and lifted it, mechanical heavy hammers smashed repeatedly producing sparks flying, two gear broad blades intersected forming a cross, slashing down at the music box's most soothing melody!
The gray-haired girl hiding in the shadows not long ago attracted by the noise here, had just come over to witness such a scene, deeply moved by the strong, beautiful silhouette of the dark-gold figure, secretly recording it all, murmuring, "Dark Gold Rose..."
"This is the Dark Gold Rose, it's absolutely stunning."
Sharp, invisible gusts sliced numerous carvings onto the passage walls beside, the gray-haired girl shrieked, stepping back cautiously, almost cut in half by the remnants; she lightly touched the deep carvings on the wall, her eyes not only admiring but also a kind of intoxication.
"I will unveil your mysterious veil, let everyone know your captivating side."
"Yeah, I want to survive... let everyone see."
The girl muttered to herself, quickened her pace, and left.
After an unknown amount of time, [Bad Girl Workshop] ended, the Siren King was on the ground barely alive.
Xu Xiaoyou approached to deliver the final blow, her attack entered the Siren King's head without any sensation of hitting something solid. [Life and Death Boundary]'s guaranteed hit judgment had concluded; she couldn't injure the Siren King anymore...
A deep sense of powerlessness swelling up in Xu Xiaoyou's heart, chaotic negative emotions overwhelmed her.
The creature, like a sudden revival, jerked its head up, and from its chest slashed with blood holes, a girl's body was embedded, with a lock of dark red hair fluttering.
Xu Xiaoyou glimpsed another scene; the Cosmos vast and boundless, a figure enveloped in divine light lying among flowing galaxies and star clusters; it bore three eyes, rising and setting with the twelve hours, white halo shrouded its outline, dense arcs of light bending and swaying within the halo; on closer look, like countless insect limbs...
"Garden... Master of the Pole Star?" Xu Xiaoyou subconsciously muttered the last two words before the massive, polluted knowledge instantaneously scattered her consciousness, plunging her into unconsciousness.
Angelina, awakened, caught the swaying girl, glanced back at the quickly reviving Siren King, frowned briefly then relaxed, taking Xu Xiaoyou away from here.
