Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 20 Fusion
After a long while, Hyotei and Yuki-tei withdrew from the memory ball of Xia-die, their faces filled with complex emotions and tears.

Because of the katana, Mihoyo used the katana on Onfaros. Not to mention these soul beasts, everyone who has seen these plots will think that the katana is too powerful.

Their memories of encountering the butterfly were the same as Wang Qiu'er's memories of seeing the butterfly.

"you……"

"How is it? How does it feel? Seeing my world, I was shocked. The wind and snow here remind me of my former snowy capital, Seldaria, which was cursed with death. Although I am eternally in the underworld, I am not alone with you."

"Xiadie..."

An eerie silence fell over the entire far north, with only the sound of falling snow and ice.

After a short while, the silence ended. This was something only a knife could handle.

"Ah Die, will you stay in the underworld forever?"

Xia Die remained silent, clearly accepting the outcome.

She said softly, "There's no need to feel sorry for me. This prophecy is predestined, and although it cannot be stopped, if one day I am to remain in the underworld, I will help you become gods before then, so that you won't end up like me."

This was not the outcome they wanted; to sacrifice one person to help them become gods.

"butterfly."

After a long while, Xia Die finally calmed them down and got to the point: to summarize the argument, choose Hyotei or Yuki-tei.

In other words, both the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion and the Ice Heaven Snow Maiden are ultimate attribute martial souls. If we were to choose the best one, the Ice Heaven Snow Maiden would undoubtedly be the best choice. However, Xia Die needs to keep one of them. The answer is simple: she needs to keep one for her younger sister.

However, there is only one factor: if Hyotei were to go to his sister, Polycia, Tenmu Ice Silk would definitely not be able to accept it.

"I'll become your sister's martial soul; I don't want to bicker with Tianmeng all the time."

Hyotei spoke up.

"Hey, Bingbing, you can't do this. How can I live without you?"

"Get lost, Tianmeng, I don't want to listen to your nagging all day long."

In any case, the final result was that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was still with Ice Emperor, only that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's soul went to Bolysia's sea of ​​consciousness.

However, let's absorb the Snow Empress's soul ring first, and then make other preparations.

"Alright, let's begin now, Little Butterfly."

"it is good."

Xia Die sat down cross-legged.

The Snow Empress pursed her lips slightly, and as she nodded, the chilling power of her primal ice and snow awakened with a roar. The far north ice plains instantly fell into absolute silence; even the howling winds froze into frost, as if the entire world had been put on pause. An ice crystal storm rose around her, and tiny snow crystals swirled in the void, forming silvery-white vortices, each crystal refracting a cold, eerie blue light.

As the Snow Queen gently raised her hand, countless ice crystals, as if drawn by an invisible force, slowly converged around her, forming an energy sphere radiating a soft blue light. Fine ice patterns flowed across the surface of the sphere, emanating a chilling aura as if alive. Wherever it passed, the air condensed into transparent ice crystals, and even the distant snow-capped peaks trembled under its oppressive power, as if paying homage to the Ice Queen.

Snow Empress, her slender figure like a swan, floated gracefully across the frozen ice crystals to Xia Die's side. Her tall, elegant figure, standing at 1.75 meters, was accentuated by the icy blue aura, exuding an ethereal and otherworldly aura. In an instant, dazzling icy blue light burst forth from her body, like a cascading galaxy. Wherever the light touched, the heavens and earth were bathed in a chilling, deep blue light, and the ice and snow within a hundred-foot radius shimmered brilliantly. The entire far north seemed to become her stage, captivating all who beheld her.

Suddenly, Xia Die was enveloped in the white light of ice and snow, like a white lotus floating in mid-air, gently yet irresistibly rising slowly from the frost-covered ground. Beneath her, the Snow Emperor's white hair fluttered, and icy blue light condensed into a tangible torrent of light, carrying the power of extreme cold, surging wildly towards Xia Die's brow like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Xia Die merely frowned slightly, a hint of pain appearing on her face.

"Compared to me, the pain of merging with the Snow Emperor is even greater. Tianmeng, after all, I am only approaching 400,000 years old, while the Snow Emperor is approaching 700,000 years old. Tianmeng, Adie is only twelve years old now." "Yes, indeed. I hope she can't follow the original path."

The fusion continued, with wisps of icy power, glowing with a faint blue light, slithering out like serpents and precisely seeping into the gaps in the butterfly's bones.

That power carried the chill of polar glaciers, yet contained a gentle rhythm, starting from her tailbone and climbing up her spine.

The icy blue veins, like living vines, meandered along the spine towards the ribs, leaving behind delicate frost-like patterns on the bone surface, as if they had been given new life. As the icy blue spread to the chest cavity, each rib resembled a piece of glass sculpted from ice and snow, reflecting a cold yet magnificent luster in the light, continuing to extend towards the neck and shoulders, as if to reshape the butterfly into a perfect work of ice and snow art.

As the icy blue completely permeated every inch of the Butterfly's body, the light surrounding the Snow Emperor, like a candle flame about to burn out, gradually lost its dazzling brilliance.

At first, the faint azure power was nothing more than a thin thread binding the bones, appearing and disappearing between the spine and ribs, seemingly about to vanish at any moment. But as time passed, the thread continuously absorbed the primal power poured in by the Snow Emperor, growing and spreading at an astonishing speed like a young vine breaking through the soil. It first outlined the contours along the joints and veins, then transformed into a broad band of light, enveloping every bone within it.

The sun rises and sets, day and night alternate like the ebb and flow of the tide. The icy blue light around the butterfly grows ever more intense with the passage of time, as if it has gathered all the cold light of the far north.

Snow Empress's silver eyes narrowed slightly. With each injection of energy, she could feel the unfathomable capacity within Xia Die's body—that seemingly delicate body was actually devouring the source power like a vortex. Snow Empress's heart was filled with shock. This little fellow showed no resistance whatsoever. Instead, like parched frozen earth greedily absorbing sweet rain, she used her astonishing adaptability to reshape the icy power for her own use.

As the morning light pierced the sky, the Snow Emperor's figure was already as faint as a thin mist, her crystalline outline almost transparent in the sunlight, and every wisp of her dissipating aura turned into tiny ice crystals.

In contrast, Xia Die's icy blue light was like that of an ancient, ferocious beast awakening, surging and devouring the chill of the world. The light exploded outwards from her center, freezing the air into a prism-like array of ice crystals wherever it went. The surface of the snow-capped peaks within a ten-mile radius shimmered with flowing blue light, and even the howling winds were tinged with a translucent icy blue, as if the entire far north had become a testament to the newfound power of the Ice and Snow Maiden.

Behind her, a pair of ice-blue wings appeared, and what she obtained was the Snow Emperor's external soul bone, now it was bone first and soul second.

"Xiaodie, you need to be careful. The fusion of the soul bone is basically complete now, and only the final process of fully integrating it with your own soul ring remains."

"Okay, let's begin, Sister Xue'er."

Xia Die slowly closed her eyes, focusing all her attention on the subtle connection between herself and the Snow Emperor. Deep within her sea of ​​consciousness, the Snow Emperor's awareness shone brightly in the icy world.

In an instant, a thick, milky white halo burst forth from beneath Xia Die's feet, like a blooming ice lotus, surging upwards in layers. Wherever the halo passed, ripples of ice crystal patterns spread through the space, completely enveloping her body, making her appear like a suspended ice sculpture statue.

At the same time, the Snow Emperor's body was melting at a visible speed—the crystal-clear particles began to gleam with a warm luster, like glaciers melting in spring, turning into wisps of icy mist. This mist, carrying an icy blue hue, transformed into streams of light and disappeared into the center of Xia Die's brow.

The biting icy mist rolled in like a tide, and Xiaodie's graceful figure quickly melted into the white chaos. Xue Di's figure also disappeared silently into the depths of the ice and snow, like a phantom bubble.

Thanks to the perfect groundwork laid in the early stages of the fusion, the subsequent process became increasingly smooth. With her almost obsessive and precise control over her own body, Xia Die perfectly wove the power of the Snow Emperor, like strands of cold light, into her own bloodline. Although everything was progressing in an orderly manner, this fusion, which concerned the very essence of life, was still a long tug-of-war with time.

In the far north, the wind is biting cold, and large snowflakes, like tattered cotton wool, flutter and fall, adorning the vast snowfields with a silvery white blanket.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Die slowly opened her eyes. Her originally purple eyes, as deep as a still pool, were instantly covered by azure frost—a sign of the awakening of the Snow Empress's primal power. Falling snowflakes, upon touching a radius of three feet around her, strangely stopped and turned, as if fearing some majesty that transcended the laws of nature. As the azure light gradually dimmed, and purple once again emanated from her eyes, that purple became even more mysterious and captivating.

Xia Die rose gracefully to her feet, a blood-red soul ring rising with a roar. A noble and aloof aura emanated from the surface of the soul ring, with eight golden patterns faintly visible.

In other words, Xia Die's soul ring is 800,000 years old, and the changes in her bones just now were due to the Snow Emperor's original power nourishing her physical body.

The current third martial soul is Ice and Snow Maiden, or more accurately, Memory of Ice and Snow Maiden.

"Teacher, I'm leaving it to you."

With a gentle tap, Electrox created a strange magic circle beneath the feet of the Butterfly, establishing a mysterious connection between them.

A strange halo enveloped the two of them, as if forming a translucent light film, within which an indescribable energy was brewing.

Subsequently, Xue Di became Xia Die's soul spirit. Of course, before that, Xia Die was born with a better memory spirit than a soul spirit.

Now that Xia Die needs to complete the remaining spirit rings for her martial soul, it's time for her to leave this place.

Goodbye, Douluo Continent; here I come, Sun Moon Continent.
