Millennium Witch.

Chapter 131-130- Another Me
This was an unexpected turn of events. Soulfire Saint couldn't have imagined it, nor could the Reincarnation High Priest Ducha. Liana and Firefly were completely stunned. It wasn't until a moment later that they realized that Zero had managed to cause a powerful figure like the Corpse Demon Saint to mutate on the spot, displaying a strength that was simply divine.

Seeing the mutated Shiki Seiji and Soulfire Seiji fighting each other like two wild dogs biting each other, Zero revealed a bright smile, as always mocking, cruel, and full of malice.

But when she turned her head and looked at Liana again, the evil on her face immediately disappeared, replaced by a gentle, spring-like tenderness. She said softly, "I have to leave for a while, Liana."

"Where...where are you going?" Liana sensed something was wrong in her tone. "I'm going with you!"

"No, I'll be back soon." Zero leaned closer and nuzzled her face affectionately. "Don't worry."

"I don't understand," Liana thought. "If you're only leaving for a short while, why do you look so sad?"

She had never seen such a forced smile on Zero's face before; this wasn't how she should be. She had just annihilated an arrogant top-tier expert; she should be happy, like countless times before, proclaiming her victory with that arrogant, mocking smile.

What exactly is she sad about?
The tender touch was fleeting; Zero released her and turned to walk forward.

Liana was getting anxious, but she was exhausted and could barely stand up; there was no way she could catch up.

She could only watch as Zero walked further and further away, and wherever she went, it was as if a domain of divine punishment had been unleashed. Whether it was Ducha or the other enemies who arrived late, they would instantly mutate and become monsters that followed her.

She became inexplicably anxious, calling out Zero's name repeatedly. But unlike every time before, this time, Zero did not turn around.

……

In the dim light of day, the park behind the Church of Soulfire was filled with the smoke and chill of battle. Yvette's bone blade pierced the soul of the Soulfire Saint's clone, and before the opponent could even utter a muffled groan, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

She frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Her previous battle with the Soulfire Saint was quite evenly matched. Since the Pure White Touch was confirmed to be unable to harm spirits, the battle between the two became a pure mage duel. The opponent unleashed a barrage of ghosts, bone spears, and cursed winds, while she countered with her favored elemental spells fused with Soul Flame.

Later, Soulfire Saint seemed to be annoyed by her attacks and actually summoned a bone blade, engaging in a swordsman-like duel with her. The battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth were almost obliterated.

But this exhilarating battle didn't last long. In a sudden moment, Soulfire Saint's movements abruptly froze, becoming as stiff and sluggish as a puppet. A few seconds later, she completely gave up resisting, allowing her bone blade to pierce through her easily.

This is very strange. Even if it is a clone created by a spirit, the Soulfire Saint should not give it up so easily.

Could it be that the main body of the Soulfire Saint has encountered something, which is why it suddenly lost control of its clone, as if the network had gone offline?

A strong sense of unease welled up within her, and Yvette fell into deep thought, feeling as if something was about to happen.

……

Wearing the black cloak that Liana had given him, Zero walked steadily through the thickest darkness before dawn.

The streets of Fusijiang stretched out beneath her feet, deathly silent and empty, save for the ever-growing, monstrous army of flesh and metal behind her, which emitted a chilling shriek.

A tidal wave of soldiers, police, and priests surged forward, numbering in the hundreds or thousands. But the moment they came into her sight, their movements froze in unison. Then they began to wail wildly, twist, and reform, transforming into grotesque monsters that joined the silent, mutated legion.

A few minutes later, three magical mechs, having received an emergency order, stood like mobile fortresses blocking the end of the street.

But the result was the same. Zero just glanced at them and turned the three steel giants into docile mountains of flesh crawling at his feet.

She continued walking forward, but perhaps because her aura was too terrifying, the number of enemies appearing ahead gradually decreased, to the point that she didn't even bother to glance at them, as the mutants would spontaneously take care of them for her.

Finally, the first glimmer of dawn struggled to pierce the horizon, and at the end of the road, the figure of a silver-haired girl holding a bone blade slowly walked towards them.

"That's about it..." Zero thought quietly, then suddenly looked up at the gray sky.

Several kilometers away, on the Bone Dragon's body, the Soulfire Saint, who was still fighting the mutated Corpse Saint, suddenly froze.

then……

His body began to convulse and swell uncontrollably, and beneath his skin, the same purplish-red veins spread wildly.

Along with it, the bone dragon beneath him let out painful howls and began to undergo violent mutation.

...After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic and distorted waves subsided, and in the faint morning light, the mutants vanished underground as if they had never existed.

But by this time, most of the Fros River had become a vast, silent tomb. The streets were deserted, save for congealed bloodstains, scattered weapons, and ruined buildings, which wailed in the cold wind.

How many people died? Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand? Or more?
What about Soulfire Saint? Did he escape? Or was he also killed by Zero?

What happened to Liana and Firefly?

Yvette was unaware of any of these questions.

But she didn't have time to think about these things now; she had to keep a close eye on Zero's every move because she knew very well that Zero would be extremely aggressive towards her when Liana wasn't around.

Moreover, Zero's signature smug smile had vanished, replaced by a chilling indifference, like a delicate yet cold porcelain doll walking on the path to destruction.

Then, not long after, under her gaze, Zero quickened her pace, turning into a running posture, and charged towards Yvette.

Without hesitation, Yvette used her mutated magic, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall from a galaxy, sweeping towards Zero.

This trick has always been very effective, and it always manages to immobilize Zero. She has become quite proficient at it.

But this time, things were different.

A strange yet familiar power was released from Zero's body. All the silver-white hairs that rushed over twisted and wriggled under this power, eventually turning into purplish-red fleshy tentacles that attacked Yvette, their master!

This was an unprecedented situation. Yvette never imagined that her Pure White Touch could be infected and mutated!
She should clearly be the nemesis of the aberrant factors!
In an instant, her devouring ability was activated, and as she absorbed and digested the mutated factors, her pure white touch began to return to its original state.

At the same time, Zero rushed up to her and then, with an unexpected rocket headbutt, slammed her into a two-story building next to them.

boom--! !

The walls collapsed, bricks and stones flew everywhere, and dust rose up inside. Since the ordinary people in the vicinity had been indiscriminately killed by Zero, there was no one else here, only Yvette lying in the ruins and Zero lying in her arms, not making any further moves.

Yvette's head was buzzing. Her four layers of crimson armor had been shattered so easily. But what was even stranger was that after the defenses broke, Zero either ran out of steam or held back the force of his headbutt. In any case, it didn't cause her any major damage, only making her see stars a little.

“Hey, Yvette.”

Yvette heard Zero's voice ring out, a gentle tone she had never heard before, which even made her feel flattered.

But two seconds later, she realized what was happening and asked, "What did you call me?"

Zero chuckled softly, her voice low and weary, yet somehow endearing. She didn't answer Yvette's question, only muttering haltingly, as if in a dream, "This...isn't...a completely fake world..."

"I... need to sleep for a while..."

"Take good care of Liana for me..."

"please……"

"another me……"

After saying this, she pressed her face against Yvette's soft chest and fell into a deep sleep.

Yvette stared at her blankly. Before she could understand what was happening, she saw Zero's body emit starlight, and then, like grains of sand, it dispersed and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

At the same time, she saw starlight appear on her body, but instead of disappearing, it surrounded her and caused some subtle changes.

This process lasted for more than a minute. When the last bit of starlight disappeared, Yvette slowly sat up, looked at her loose clothes, and confirmed something.

She shrank.

　There's no time to do this now, I'll post it first and revise it later.
