In this situation, the two of them need to have a serious talk, so that the Night King can see what Yu really thinks of him and what kind of feelings he has.

"...Zhe, did I...did I do something wrong?"

Lei Zhe in front of her already knew everything; it seemed he had spoken with that person. Xiao You lowered her eyes and bit her lip lightly. She knew her friend was in pain, but she really couldn't bring herself to kill... her own friend.

Even though the Night King had angered her and caused him to disappear, he only disappeared for a short time because Xiaoyou genuinely didn't want him to die.

Otherwise, she could use her superiority to shake the very foundations of the world, rewrite the order and laws of the world, and even erase the existence of the Night King—provided that she simply wants to say it.

However, this is impossible. Xiaoyou is so kind that it's heartbreaking. It's unbelievable that a necromancer could be so kind.

Yu is a very kind person; she is considerate of others and willing to bear their pain alone. However, this kindness of hers is a headache for the Night King.

Because this has become a chain that forces him to accept death, the Night King himself said that he would not mind dying for the sake of the king and would have no complaints, but he can no longer tolerate this state of wanting to die but not being able to.

The Night King can understand Xiaoyou's thoughts, but Xiaoyou cannot fully understand the Night King's thoughts.

Seeing Xiaoyou's downcast expression, Lei Zhe gently reached out and took the girl's small hand in his.

“There’s nothing wrong with your kindness. I know you care about your friend, so you don’t want to do that kind of thing. Even if you give in to that person’s choice, you’re afraid of living with self-reproach from now on, aren’t you?”

"..."

Xiao You, who was feeling a little down, did not pull away from Lei Zhe's hand. In response to Lei Zhe's question, who had already entered her heart, she nodded silently.

Lei Zhe accurately pointed out the contradiction in her heart. In this respect, she was just a girl, and her self-blame stemmed from her excessive kindness.

“Yu, before I met you, when I had no power, my parents and sister died because of ghouls. Ninety-nine percent of people don’t like death, and those who are left behind have to suffer for the dead.”

Lei Zhe spoke softly to Xiao You, who also looked up and stared directly at him, their blue eyes meeting.

If someone close to Razer wants to seek relief from him, Razer won't be in the same situation as Xiaoyou, but he certainly won't have an easy time either.

The Night King still harbored a sliver of conscience towards Yu, and he took it upon himself to manipulate Yu's actions, all with the ultimate goal of death.

But this picky and obnoxious guy actually only wants Yu to give him relief, and the other party deserves the 'jerk' that Lei Zhe previously called him.

In terms of the degree of perversion, it's just a bit morbid. Fortunately, this guy has a conscience, otherwise Lei Zhe wouldn't have spared his life.

To Reiji, the Night King's behavior seemed more like that of a jerk.

"The Night King, who was once your friend, knows your personality very well. That's why he went to great lengths to do things that you hate, trying to make you see him as an enemy. If you kill him, you'll recover quickly even if you feel unwell later."

"The thoughts of the two of you are like magnets that repel each other. The spirit and mind of the Night King are not like his immortal body; they have completely decayed. Living is torture for him."

As Xiaoyou listened to Lei Zhe's words, her lowered eyes seemed to be thinking about something. All the things the Night King had done were just to provoke her and make her see him as an enemy.

It could be said that this friend was still taking care of her emotions even while trying to commit suicide, which has now made Xiaoyou's inner emotions even more conflicted.

Should I endure the pain to give my friend relief, or should I continue to avoid him like this? Is it really okay for me to keep hiding from the Night King and suffering?

Look! This girl has walked into a dead end again. Kind-hearted, she has taken on all the responsibilities herself.

The Night King, observing Xiao You's expression from within his independent dimensional universe, remained equally silent.

When he saw Yu in pain or actually crying, he also wondered if he had done something wrong, and whether his desire for Yu to give him death had hurt her too much.

In the real world, Lei Zhe looked at Xiao You, who was looking down and lost in thought, and gently reached out to hug her, pressing her bewildered face against his chest. He stroked the girl's head soothingly and continued:

"Since you two are so conflicted, let me offer you a compromise."

"Zhe..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao You in her arms raised her head and stared wide-eyed at Lei Zhe, only to see that Lei Zhe had transformed into that adorable pink ball.

This wasn't what surprised Yu, but rather that she felt her magic activate within the other person's body.

Reiji, now in his pink ball form, became serious; in his Kirby form, he could fully control the immense power emanating from Yu.

Meanwhile, in the independent dimensional universe within his stomach, the Night King was suddenly surprised, for he felt a familiar power descend upon him once more.

Unlike Raiji's own words of power before, the words of power he used, empowered by Yu's immense magical power, were the most authentic.

"Become a penguin, and have your memories stripped away!"

Rezer's indifferent voice resounded throughout this dimensional universe. The Night King glowed in front of Rezer's mental projection, its appearance rapidly shrinking into a tiny penguin, and glowing ribbons were drawn from the depths of the Night King's soul.

Like a revolving lantern, the ties extracted from the Night King's body, now transformed into a penguin, are like a videotape, recording the Night King's memories from birth to the present.

The Night King's soul, which originally possessed its own unique color, has now become a pure white, as innocent as a newborn baby.

The numerous luminous ribbons that were extracted all converged in Razer's palm, and were finally compressed into a light jade a few centimeters in size. Under Razer's intervention, the shape was fixed and formed into a three-centimeter-sized object resembling a USB flash drive.

"Yes, the Night King's Memory contains all of the Night King's memories."

The mental projection, Razor, looked with satisfaction at the small object in his palm. He had stripped the Night King of all his memories and formed this small object. As long as it wasn't returned to the Night King, the Night King was now just a penguin.

'oh oh...'

Looking at the little penguin in front of him, which was making a flustered noise, Lei Zhe glanced at it with interest, smiled faintly, and then waved his hand to throw it out of the space.

A white light enveloped the little penguin, swallowing its body, and then disappeared.

Meanwhile, in reality, Lei Zhe opened his mouth wide and spat out a little penguin in front of Xiao You.

"Pooh!"

The little penguin was spat out by Lei Zhe onto the park bench in front of Xiao You. The little penguin, lying on the bench, cried out in a panic.

Now, the Night King penguin, having lost all its memories, appeared before Xiaoyou and Leizhe like a newborn baby.

"oh oh..."

Although the Night King Penguin had no memory, when he looked up and saw Xiao You covering her mouth with an incredulous expression, his soul subconsciously wanted to get closer. Even without his memory, this guy seemed to subconsciously react to Xiao You.

It clumsily tried to approach Xiaoyou, but was stopped by Lei Zhe, who had turned back into a human and was looking at it with a blank expression, and was temporarily unable to move.

"...Zhe?"

Xiao You immediately recognized the little penguin in front of her as the Night King. After all, Lei Zhe hadn't stripped him of his immortality. So, even though the Night King was a penguin without memories, he still possessed the physique of a zombie, and the death aura within him was all too familiar to Xiao You.

P.S.: Hmph, hmph hmph, hmph ahh ...

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Night King's Liberation, the Formation of Razer

But looking at the Night King in front of her, now a penguin, he didn't seem to be going crazy and trying to kill her like before. Moreover, his eyes seemed to not recognize her. The girl looked at Razer with a puzzled expression, hoping for an explanation.

"This guy said he liked penguins, so I turned him into a penguin and, incidentally, stripped him of all his memories. His memories are all here."

Lei Zhe explained softly to Xiao You, while holding the Night King penguin with one hand and taking out the Night King's memory with the other.

Gently tapping the memory in his hand with his finger, Reiji was rapidly reading the memories accumulated over the long life of the Night King.

"Take a look at the Night King's memories first, and then talk to this friend."

A second later, he played some selected memories in front of You, and casually put the struggling little penguin aside, not allowing it to disturb You.

He wanted Xiaoyou to see her friend's memories for herself and decide how to deal with her friend; Lei Zhe couldn't interfere too much.

The Night King is said to be an enemy, but he is not. Just the fact that the other party is Yu's friend is enough to make Reiji hesitate.

Xiaoyou looked at the images projected by the memory in front of her with a complicated expression. They were all the Night King's painful memories, as well as his memories of Xiaoyou.

"When will these endless chains finally be broken, Eucliwood! I was willing to sacrifice myself for you, even for the 'death' you hated. Please grant me liberation!"

The King of Night was confiding his wishes to Xiaoyou.

"Whatever the choice, I will accept it without hesitation. Please, Yu..."

The King of Night was earnestly pleading with Xiaoyou.

"...I'm sorry for causing you so much pain, but Euclidwood, I had no other choice..."

The Night King felt guilty for hurting Xiaoyou because of his plan to achieve his goal.

"Why can't you just treat me as an enemy and let me die?! I've long been disgusted by this empty and meaningless immortality, and now I have to keep hurting you to achieve my goals, doing things that even I hate..."

The Night King's corrupt spirit, tormented by immortality, occasionally goes berserk.

"There are so many disgusting and greedy insects. Do you think you deserve the power of superiority? If you want to daydream, get back to the filthy sewers!!"

Seeing the madmen who wanted to pry into Xiaoyou's power outside of the plan, the Night King annihilated them with extreme disgust.

"...Did I really do something wrong by causing Yu so much pain? I don't want to see her cry either, but I'm already decaying..."

Seeing himself suffering from the consequences of his own plans, wandering from place to place, and rejected by most forces, the Night King felt an overwhelming sense of self-blame and self-doubt.

The Night King's painful memories and inner thoughts were all exposed to Xiaoyou. Seeing her friend in such pain, Xiaoyou felt terrible.

She then shifted the blame onto herself, believing that she was responsible for the Night King's current state.

Even though the King of Night was constantly trying to die by any means necessary, he actually protected Xiaoyou from the shadows. Lei Zhe was speechless when he saw this.

The Night King's plan was merely to provoke those forces that Yu could handle to hunt her down, but if Yu's life was truly threatened, the Night King himself would never allow it.

He only wanted Yu to die for him from the beginning, but he absolutely did not want to kill Yu. If someone who was spying on Yu's power appeared outside of his plan, the Night King himself would definitely fight that person to the death.

Moreover, although the Night King himself did not express it, he had experienced considerable self-doubt after seeing how Xiaoyou was suffering because of his plan.

It's impossible for the Night King not to feel guilty seeing that he caused Xiaoyou pain.

But the Night King, who had become like a walking corpse, couldn't care less about that now. He had already come this far, and it was impossible for him to just give up.

“Zhe...I want to talk to the Night King…”

After watching the Night King's contradictory and complex memories, and after the memory projection ended, Xiaoyou looked at the Night King who was being held in Lei Zhe's hand, and said softly.

Lei Zhe sighed and looked at Xiao You in front of him. The relationship between the Night King and Xiao You was so contradictory and complicated.

You can't say that Xiaoyou's kindness is wrong. She couldn't kill her friend, but she made her friend suffer. Can you say that she didn't feel conflicted and pained inside?

The Night King kept pressuring Xiaoyou to make a choice between two conflicting options, one that would bring her pain and regret.

If she kills the Night King, the kind-hearted Xiaoyou will have to bear an unbearable sense of guilt; if she doesn't kill the Night King, watching him continue to suffer will also be unbearable for her.

Lei Zhe aimed the memory chip at the back of the little penguin's head and plugged it in. The memory chip was thus connected to the back of the little penguin's head and sank into his brain.

The little penguin, released by Razor, was placed on the ground. After a moment of confusion, its eyes returned to their lifeless state from when it was in human form. Looking down at its current appearance, a trace of helplessness flashed in its lifeless eyes.

Although he wanted to become a penguin, meeting Yu like this felt strange, and the fact that he had no memory of what happened just now gave the Night King a sense of peace.

Just as he was about to get the man and the penguin to talk, Lei Zhe suddenly seemed to sense something, and a look of extreme helplessness and amusement appeared on his face.

"Sorry, let's find another place to discuss our matter. Let's move!"

Turning his head to look behind him, Lei Zhe, looking slightly embarrassed, glanced at the Night King and Xiao You. After transferring out of his own cube world, he activated Xiao You's Word of Power to enhance the spatial abilities of the Yama Blade and the artifact Absolute Mist, and then transferred himself into space.
