My Endless Life.

Chapter 653 Help
"What do you want to do to Kiri!"

Anta immediately stood in front of Li Qi.

Her reaction was greater than Brina had expected; Brina's cat ears twitched twice, reflecting her mood.

Brina stopped moving and looked past Anta at Li Qi behind Anta. It seemed that Anta's single action had made her guess something.

"...This ability to bewitch minds...is that you, Young Master Richie?"

"You were already certain?"

Li Qi wasn't particularly surprised.

From the moment Brina appeared, he suspected that this guy had already discovered something.

Because the other person's gaze remained fixed on him, never leaving him.

However, she might not have been entirely sure herself, which is why she kept testing the waters until Anta's performance finally convinced Brina.

“Rich…? Who is Richie…?”

Anta turned to look at Li Qi, her eyes filled with confusion.

However, unlike the White Queen Sutina, she did not quickly realize that she had been deceived by Li Qi.

After Li Qi grasped the rule, he quickly mastered it through the analogy of his powers.

Through the connections between the rules, he can maximize the power of love.

Let alone the eighth rank, even the ninth rank should be attracted by his love.

Apart from……

Others who are also inheritors of the mechs.

“That was my former name, Commander Anta Legion. Please go and see how my sister’s preparations are going. This lady and I…” Li Qi looked at Brina: “…madam, we have something to discuss.”

"But……"

"Anta, please trust me."

Li Qi spoke softly to Anta.

Anta's eyes widened instantly. She stared blankly at Li Qi for a moment before turning and leaving.

After Anta left the room, Brina said to Li Qi:
"Honestly, I didn't expect to meet you here."

“I didn’t expect this either… This shouldn’t be part of [Fate’s] calculations, right?” Li Qi looked up at the other person.

Brina shook her head: "From the moment you left this world, you were no longer part of the network of fate. I came here only to check on the special spatial fluctuations."

So this is just a coincidence.

A true coincidence.

With her Coordinate Mech, Brina is the most suitable person to oversee all the warp portals within Krend.

It's even possible that Brina was responsible for closing the jump portal here.

Therefore, she will sense any jump channel that is not within her control and bring her here immediately.

"So no matter where I come in, I might run into you," Li Qi concluded.

Brina laughed: "Yes, [Fate] guessed that you would come, so it doesn't care whether you break free from the web of fate, because you will definitely come."

"And then what?" Li Qi regained his original appearance, his long silver hair flowing freely, his eyes sparkling like rubies as he stared at Brina: "What do you plan to do?"

"Well!"

Li Qi's disguised form was already quite lethal, and Brina was able to withstand it thanks to the mental defense provided by the mecha.

However, when Li Qi returned to his original form, even with the Legacy Mech, Brina was somewhat unable to withstand him.

She forced herself to turn her head away, waving her hands repeatedly: "Stop...stop stop! Put your abilities back first. I have no ill intentions...and I could never have any ill intentions towards you. I told you, we're partners...anyway, put them back now! I can't hold on any longer!"

Brina's ears twitched incessantly, and the tail attached to her combat suit was about to fly off.

Li Qi found it amusing but didn't make things difficult for the other party. He slightly restrained himself, withdrew his power a bit, and then pointed to the other party's tail:

"Are you a cat or a dog?"

"Of course it's a cat!"

As she spoke, Brina took off her helmet, revealing her current appearance.

She had gray hair with a pair of cat ears on top. Unlike the pink cat ears on her helmet, the cat ears were gray, just like her hair.

Her eyes were like the purest sapphires, sparkling with a special light when she blinked. Her cheeks were slightly chubby, giving her a youthful appearance.

The whole person gave Li Qi the feeling of being a ragdoll cat that had come to human form.

“You really are a Krend.” Li Qi concluded, observing her distinctly unusual physical features.

No wonder Brina never revealed her true form during the last Sky Island battle.

Because once she reveals her true self, everyone's blades will likely turn against her.

After all, the greatest tragedy on that floating island was caused by the flesh and blood seed of Krend, and as a Krend present, Brina would certainly be blamed for all the crimes.

No, was it really imposed?

Li Qi stared directly into Brina's eyes: "Last time on the Imperial Star Sky Island, were those flesh and blood seeds created by you?"

"It wasn't me!! Believe me! Ugh..."

Brina instinctively retorted, but this retort wasn't an attempt to defend herself; rather, it stemmed from a feeling that she didn't want Li Qi to dislike her. That's why she quickly covered her mouth and slapped herself: "...I told you, don't seduce me, I...I really can't resist! Do you want me to... you..."

"You can't beat me right now."

"..."

Brina was speechless. Brina shut up.

Indeed, last time Li Qi wasn't even at the seventh rank, yet he was able to fight on equal terms with the eighth-rank Brina.

This time, Li Qi has already advanced to the seventh rank, and he has not yet used his powers. The rule of the Heart of Love alone is enough to make Brina unable to resist.

Brina thought about it carefully and seriously...

Yeah, she really can't beat him.

"You don't want me to make a fool of myself in front of you, do you? Do you want to see my body?"

Brina pointed to herself.

Although she didn't mind much, Li Qi, as a nobleman, should have minded a lot.

To be honest, Li Qi wasn't particularly bothered, but he didn't want to waste time watching the other person deal with her desires. So he restrained the power of his love and continued to ask Brina:

"Then what about the flesh and blood seeds on the sky island?"

"It was given to the Martial Alliance by Her Highness the Princess."

"Your Highness...?"

"The princess of the Krend Empire, who is now in charge of the government here, is unwilling to let her country be devoured by flesh and blood, while the other two countries remain outside."

"So they deliberately gave the Martial Alliance a cultivation method mixed with flesh and blood seeds, and told them that this was the only way for them to break through to the ninth rank in the Myriad Star Realm."

The Myriad Star Realm has rules that suppress cultivation; when practicing techniques from other worlds within its own territory, one can only reach the seventh level at most.

The reason she was able to break through to the eighth rank with her superpowers is because of the presence of the gods. The powers she comprehended seem to be related to her superpowers, which is why she was able to break through to the eighth rank with her superpowers.

However, she is the only eighth-level superhuman in the world, and she herself is a mecha pilot who is close to the tenth level.

The others are still stuck at the seventh level, so they are willing to try any method that can break through the limit and reach the ninth level.

The Martial Alliance is an example of this.

"Can they really break through?" Li Qi asked again.

Brina sighed, "Yes, but you've seen the price."

What are those flesh and blood?

"I don't know... but [Fate] says it should be a remnant of some dead [Original World]. They are transforming this universe into an environment suitable for them according to their own consciousness, so that their world can be reborn in our world."

Li Qi was no stranger to the dead Origin Realm.

The Misty World is the dead original world. In the World Sea, you can't see its light at all; there is only pitch blackness.

And how many such worlds exist in the unknown, darkest corners of society?

It's not surprising that the Primordial Realm created these flesh-and-blood seeds to erode the world.

"Is there a way to deal with this?" Li Qi asked again.

Brina said, "There might be a tenth-tier one, but in the current Origin Realm, there isn't."

"Really do not have?"

"No, all that [Destiny] can do is try its best to control the appearance of the twelve inherited mechs and gather their power to slow down the spread of flesh and blood, while waiting for the tenth-tier beings to return."

"But you've already seen the result. So far, there are only six mechs in the world. You, me, Gemini, Qingxue, Chiyan, and Destiny are only half of them."

"Wait... who is Chi Yan?" Of all the names Brina mentioned, this was the only one Li Qi had never heard of.

"The other inheritor of the mech by Destiny's side is a boy who listens to Destiny very well. Perhaps you two can have something in common? After all, you're both men."

Brina spoke in a tone that seemed perfectly natural.

Li Qi sighed softly: "Then one last question, what exactly is the situation in Krend? Are all the men dead?"

"...Not exactly, it's just that it's decreasing, and the princess doesn't like genetic modifications, so... it's become like this now. Actually, it's the same for your empire and the federation. The yin energy in the entire universe is getting stronger. This is an inevitable trend that cannot be changed."

Brina explained.

Li Qi rubbed his cheeks and exhaled, "Alright, I'm fine now. I need to go out and find the parts for Xinlian. Are you going to stop me, or let me go?"

Do you want me to beat you up and then let me go, or do you just pretend you didn't see me and let me go?

This was Li Qi's unspoken meaning.

A smile spread across Brina's chubby face as she put her helmet back on and said to Li Qi:

“I can choose a third path: I will leave with you and help you find your lost part.”

"?"

"Don't look at me like that. There's no conspiracy. At least when it comes to finding the legacy mech, we're on the same page."

"And then what?" Li Qi stared intently at Brina. "After you find the mech, what will you do?"

“I will take you to see [Destiny], or... [Destiny] will come to see you in person.”

Brina answered seriously.
