"Help..." Lilia's voice was weak and feeble, sounding as if she was struggling in pain.
"Oh, oblivion, if you have the ability to lead the Vanquisher in repelling the Ruined Land, sealing the angels and demons, and maintaining the balance of the two continents, I would never seek to plunder your powers and would do everything in my power to assist you. However, your actions and behaviors make me feel like you are lacking in intelligence. In fact, using the word 'idiot' is no longer enough to describe you."
This was the mission bestowed upon me by the first oblivion. You cannot blame me, blame your own misfortune for inheriting the legacy of our Vanquisher."
Patiently, the Chameleon explained the reasons to Lilia, the new oblivion, determined to let her understand even if it meant her death.
Three black holes were revolving above Lilia's head and shoulders, continuously devouring the elemental power of her body.
Lilia felt her elemental power being crazily swallowed by the black holes, she struggled without cease, but it was in vain.
At this moment, a profound shadow appeared behind the Chameleon.
The Chameleon turned around and saw a man dressed in black robes, with a black iron beast face.
Just as they exchanged glances, the man in black robes drew a curved blade from his waist, and the shadows around them deepened instantly.
"Swish."
The sound of the curved blade cutting through the air resonated, and a terrifying pressure surged towards the Chameleon.
The Chameleon's pupils contracted, this person was a Dual Soul! One of the Vanquishers.
He immediately dodged, successfully evading the attack.
However, at this moment, countless shadows gathered around them from all sides, assaulting the Chameleon like a dense rain.
"Enhance! Dispel!"
The Chameleon immediately cast magic, dispersing the shadows one by one, but the shadows only increased in number, continuously converging together like a vast ocean.
The Chameleon sensed that the Dual Soul was serious, so he summoned all his strength and engaged in a fierce battle against him.
"Boom."
"Boom."
"Boom."
Three consecutive loud noises, Dugu was pushed back, retreating continuously until he crashed into a wall.
Dugu felt his chest in complete chaos, his throat surged, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Dual Soul! Are you crazy? Can't you see that this oblivion is an idiot?" Unable to restrain himself, the Chameleon couldn't help but curse, looking frustrated and disappointed.
"You're the crazy one! She's not oblivion, let go of the queen." Dugu wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth and burst out with a curse.
"You're spouting nonsense! I just confirmed this idiot as oblivion in the morning, and now you're saying she's not? Does this idiot owe you a debt of gratitude, which is why you're saving her?
Knowing that we are from the same faction, I won't kill you! If you dare to obstruct me, I won't show any mercy." The Chameleon's face darkened; he knew the sound of their battle would attract demons and angels.
Upon hearing the commotion coming from her sister's courtyard, Lanzu disregarded everything and ran barefoot to her sister's bedroom as fast as she could.
Lanzu saw three black holes appearing above her sister's head and shoulders, devouring her elemental power.
Lilia curled up in a corner, her arms tightly hugging her knees, unable to move.
Her face contorted in pain, her eyebrows furrowed, and her mouth twitched as if she was enduring indescribable suffering.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and there were traces of tears on her pale cheeks. Her breathing was rapid and irregular, as if she was on the verge of suffocation.
Lilia's painful appearance deeply provoked Lanzu, and she wished to beat her into a spineless creature.
"What do you want to do to release my sister?" Lanzu clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh.
Before the shapeshifter could speak, Iris's voice rang out.
"Shapeshifter, you finally show yourself! I've been waiting for you~"
As Iris finished speaking, the demon guards surrounded the courtyard. Above the courtyard were the death demon Qizhou, the hunting demon Shizhi, the night illusion demon Sui Liangfeng, the deceit demon Ahri, the false demon Beezelbub, and the pure white demon Yar.
"There are so many people surrounding me. It seems that the Demon Emperor values me quite a bit," the shapeshifter dismissed it, not taking these demons seriously. "Since I can come in, I can naturally go out."
"How about this? Do you think it's possible for you to trade a member of the vampire royal family for your own life? Compared to the fate of the entire Divinity and Demon's Continent, it doesn't matter," Iris spoke, remembering what Baiying had told her: under no circumstances should the shapeshifter take Ling away.
No matter the cost, the shapeshifter must die. Otherwise, she would infiltrate the palace using her shape-shifting abilities.
Lanzu looked at Iris with a fierce gaze on the side.
"Iris, how dare you play with my sister's life!"
"The vampires have strong vitality, especially Lilia, who is also a member of the royal family. There's no need to worry about her dying! If she dies, I will take responsibility."
Iris smiled ambiguously and then waved her hand, signaling the demons to kill the shapeshifter.
At the same time, the shapeshifter couldn't sense the increase in combined power within him, but his elemental power had indeed increased.
"This idiot is really not oblivious!" the shapeshifter thought in his heart. Without the power of oblivion, how could he leave this place?
"You idiot, why do you have the same face as hers!" In anger, the shapeshifter kicked Lilia, sending her flying to another corner, her head hitting the wall hard, causing red liquid to spray out.
Desperate, the shapeshifter held Lilia hostage, demanding that the Demon Emperor give him a way out.
"Give him a way out!"
Lanzu's voice resounded like a resounding bell, intimidating, as she looked at Iris with angry eyes.
"What will you take responsibility for if something happens to my sister? I cannot gamble on my sister's safety."
With these words, Lanzu displayed an angelic posture, standing there like a divine soldier descending from heaven.
She stood tall, with a determined expression, like a martial god. If Iris didn't agree to the shapeshifter's conditions, Lanzu would definitely protect him.
Seeing this scene, the shapeshifter couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "Stupid! Is Martial Angel controlled by her sister? I should make good use of this."
Lilia didn't want to see her sister and daughter get into a physical conflict over an argument. She thought back to how the security in the palace had become tight recently, with a password required to enter.
Iris had been planning to kill this shapeshifter for a long time, and Lilia didn't want her efforts to go to waste.
After a brief moment of thought, Lilia made a shocking decision.
This decision would neither let Iris's efforts go to waste nor let Lanzu and Iris fight.
She silently took out a silver dagger from the storage ring and chose to end her life by self-immolation.
Dugu, frightened by the queen consort's actions, couldn't help but exclaim, "Queen consort, what are you doing!?"
This exclamation caused everyone's attention to shift towards Lilia.
The Chameleon Master wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.
Lilia closed her eyes and stabbed the silver dagger directly into her heart, allowing blood to flow onto the floor.
In an instant, Lili Lanzu appeared in front of the Chameleon Master.
With one hand, she stabbed the Chameleon Master's lower abdomen with an ice spear, while the other hand choked him by the throat, questioning, "Why did you harm my sister, why? Couldn't you just let her live a peaceful life? Why did you have to hurt her?"
The Chameleon Master, being choked, turned red in the face and struggled to breathe.
Lili Lanzu's eye sockets filled with bloodshot veins, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to tear the Chameleon Master apart at any moment.
There was no room for the Chameleon Master to utter a word.
Lili Lanzu stirred the ice spear, making a large gash in the Chameleon Master's lower abdomen, forcibly tearing out his bones.
The Chameleon Master's shrieks of agony reverberated throughout the entire palace, sounding especially terrifying.
Lili Lanzu released the ice spear, allowing the Chameleon Master to collapse to the ground. She then cut open a bloody wound on his back, exposing his spinal cord.
Using the ice spear, Lili Lanzu picked out the spinal cord, causing blood to gush out like a fountain.
The horrifying scene chilled the heart, and the flying droplets of blood turned the entire space into a disturbing and terrifying sight.
Lili Lanzu froze the Chameleon Master's corpse with the ice spear and casually shattered it into pieces.
After everything was done, she walked to her sister's corpse and gently held her in her arms.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you." Lili Lanzu pressed her cheek against her sister's cheek, tears falling onto Lilia's face one by one.
"You all can go rest now." Iris waved her hand, signaling the demon guards to leave.
The demon guards saluted and dispersed, leaving only the demon generals at the scene. They knew that the Martial Angel might do something extreme.
She approached Lilia's body, feeling somewhat at a loss.
Lili Lanzu looked up at Iris and asked, "Why didn't you let the Chameleon Master go? That way, my sister could still be alive."
Her eyes were filled with disgust.
Iris did not explain, and she pushed Lili Lanzu away, saying, "I told you, I will bear the consequences."
"What consequences can you bear? It's not you who died! Do you have the ability to resurrect?"
"I will find a way to bring Lilia back to life."
Iris snatched Lilia's body and left with her.
"Iris..." Lili Lanzu wanted to chase after them but was stopped by Yar and Sui Liangfeng.
