Once the affection level is maxed out, the rivalry begins!

Being suddenly diagnosed with amnesia by the enemy was truly beyond Bai Ze's expectations.

Now that things have come to this, could it be that he still has some unknown past that has not been revealed?

He himself had no idea.

However, the murderous intent that erupted in his heart just now was by no means fake; it can only be understood that someone had tampered with his memories.

Osiris mentioned that the Forgotten Witch had interfered with his memories... Should he believe her?

After all, it's also possible that she made up a lie for revenge because she knew the outcome was inevitable.

Bai Ze decided to ask Leia if there was anything that could repair the memory abnormality.

In that moment of distraction, Osiris, whose head he had just severed, underwent a strange transformation.

Streams of light shot out from her body like swords, releasing terrifying heat like nuclear fusion;

It was as if a sun was about to emerge from the body of a headless goddess;

Is this a self-destruction?!

"Let's... turn to ashes together!"

She announced in a voice as hoarse as a broken tape recorder;

The particle stream, shot out at the speed of light, hit the Judgment Blade covering Bai Ze's entire body and was deflected in all directions.

Mushroom-shaped dust rose in the distance, and the ocean above the sky quickly dried up, revealing a dark red layer of clouds.

With the demise of the ruler, the foundation of this other world is also being shaken.

At the critical moment, the two who had been dodging the aftershocks of the previous battle rushed over, carrying the flying sword that Miss Core had conjured.

"Hey senior, catch!"

Lu Xingyao tossed over a few dark, murky objects.

Those were the first organs he dug out, belonging to Osiris.

The opportunity for her to initiate the ritual was that she completed the dismemberment process through the hands of Bai Ze, thus achieving synchronization with Osiris in mythology.

So as long as the lost parts are returned, her promotion can be interrupted!

Bai Ze took the five internal organs, which still bore traces of petrification, and rushed towards the headless corpse against the stream of light, forcibly stuffing them into the empty abdominal cavity.

The sun-like brilliance suddenly subsided.

Then, it exploded like a spring compressed to its limit.

Before the torrent of light engulfed him, a figure leaped into it.

With a crisp sound like shattering glass, the otherworld collapsed.

When his vision returned, Bai Ze felt as if some heavy object was pressing down on him.

The power of the final self-destruction was indeed weakened, but it was still enough to destroy the other world itself;

Having blocked the attack head-on, he was now overwhelmed by exhaustion and just wanted to stay lying on the ground.

There was even some idiot who jumped in and got blown up with him...

Judging solely from the level of affection, it should be Lu Xingyao.

"Are you thinking—'The one willing to get involved in that kind of attack with me must be my dear junior?'"

A sarcastic tone came from above.

Xia Yunli sat on his waist in a riding position, looking down at Bai Ze's face.

Behind her was a long, narrow tank where several jellyfish floated leisurely, opening and closing like tiny umbrellas.

It seems that after they escaped from the other world, they returned to their original aquarium.

I didn't expect that they would keep living creatures; it's probably out of the personal interest of the high priest of that cult.

"I really didn't expect your intelligence to be so low that you would willingly embrace the Big Bang. Even a cat knows to stay away from fire."

Bai Ze retorted sharply.

But he was genuinely curious about Xia Yunli's motives.

"Did you think her self-destruction was only that powerful to begin with?"

Xia Yunli took something out from behind her back.

The platinum-gold scales have a white feather suspended on one side, while the other side is empty.

"—I stole her power."

The girl held her head high and puffed out her chest with a hint of pride.

So that's why he only felt weak and unable to control his body, without any sense of weakness from being seriously injured.

"Alright, I know you're amazing and you've done a great job... so could you please get off me first?"

Bai Ze tried to push her away, but his hands and feet were unresponsive, as if they had been amputated.

"I don't want to be stuck with you like this either!"

Xia Yunli poked his chest angrily with her finger, "Do you know how much effort it took me just to get from lying on top of you to this position?"

It turns out he wasn't the only one who was unable to move.

"It's all your fault!"

She weakly clutched Bai Ze's collar, "When I usurped Osiris's power, I felt a portion of it flow to you! What remains is only my essence as the god of the underworld. This imbalance of power is what led to our current state!"

Is that true?

Bai Ze tried to exhale the parchment scroll.

[Purification of Abnormalities: Ascend to the divine form of Osiris; merits are now etched]

However, unlike usual, no explanation of the gains was given directly.

It seemed as if a warmth was slowly seeping into my limbs and bones, reminiscent of warm sunlight.

Xia Yunli said that what she had usurped was Osiris's part as the god of the underworld;

Could it be that what he obtained was the celestial and masculine power displayed by the other party during their attempt to ascend to godhood?

Bai Ze is making this guess for now.

Specifically, we can only conduct related experiments after recovery.

That's right, the key is to get out of this awkward situation!

"Speaking of which, have you seen Xingyao?"

He asked Xia Yunli, and the girl shook her head: "It must be that she and we were in different places when we left the other world, so we are not in the same place when we returned to reality."

But they can't have gone too far; they might be searching for them right now in the aquarium.

So Bai Ze decided to call his junior.

Then a warm hand covered his mouth.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Xia Yunli questioned, "If she saw us like this..."

"Your sense of shame really came out of nowhere."

Because his mouth was physically gagged, Bai Ze mumbled a complaint.

Actually, he felt that as long as he told the truth, Lu Xingyao would definitely understand... right?

"But she'll find this place sooner or later. Can you regain your mobility before then?"

After Xia Yunli removed her hand, Bai Ze spoke normally.

"I'll give it a try..."

The other person braced their hands against his chest and tried to get up.

As soon as it left his waist, his calf went weak and he crashed heavily into his lower abdomen.

The girl's soft legs were pressed together, leaning against his side, and an unusual sensation was transmitted along with the warmth.

"It seems that won't work."

"Shut up!"

She covered Bai Ze's mouth again in embarrassment and annoyance.

The conversation just now has made her already low progress in becoming a witch even slower.

The two fell silent, maintaining their close-fitting posture, the jellyfish blooming like silent fireworks on the glass tank wall.

"Even if you originally intended to steal Osiris's power, wasn't that dangerous in that situation?"

Bai Ze broke the silence, asking, "Are you so eager to possess great power?"

Xia Yunli looked at him with a strange expression, her petite upper body swayed, and she fell forward.

"Hey! Don't die here!"

"Are you stupid? I'm just out of energy."

Returning to the state she was in when she first left the other world, the girl lazily lay on top of him and whispered in his ear.

"Because if you die... your sister will be heartbroken."
