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

When they were children, Bai Ze and Lin Tingwan played escape-themed horror games together.

That's a game genre where the main gameplay revolves around a chase between the player and an invincible, terrifying enemy.

"I never imagined I'd be playing an escape game in real life."

He and Xia Yunli are currently huddled together under a tank in the aquarium, experiencing the thrill of being chased by monsters.

This was originally an exhibition hall for small fish. It is much more spacious than the jellyfish room, but the interior has been filled with empty glass tanks, which are arranged haphazardly like weeds in a garden.

After escaping from the jellyfish room, they first chose the route that would allow them to leave the aquarium the fastest.

Upon reaching the exit, they discovered it had been sealed off by a layer of dark green magic, turning it into a completely enclosed room—a 21st-century snow-covered mountain lodge.

Moreover, the criminals were still hot on their heels.

"How can you remain so calm..."

Xia Yunli clutched her clothes, her face pale. "Has it returned to the point where I can stop her?"

"I can give it a try, but I'll need your help."

The Blade of Judgment and the White Knight's powers are still temporarily unusable, but it seems that the new powers gained after defeating Osiris are gradually becoming clear on how to use them.

Bai Ze pressed his hand firmly on the girl's shoulder: "Go, if we can hold her back for even a moment, that will be our victory!"

"Leave everything to me... Do you think I would say something like that?!"

She slapped Bai Ze's hands away. "Isn't this just using me as bait to feed your junior?"

Tch, what a complete mess. Where did the friendship we just forged go?

"You're a phantom thief, dying a little bit won't make a difference."

"Don't make it sound like you're going on vacation!" she protested forcefully.

"The truth will later be revealed: he faked his death during interrogation and actually infiltrated the enemy's mental palace to survive..."

"That must be another phantom thief!"

I almost got into a fight with her again, even though we were in a critical situation.

boom!

Just as the two were having an ugly argument, a hole was cut into the wall of the exhibition hall to allow passage.

"Where are the guys who ran away?"

Lu Xingyao dragged her long sword into the room, the tip of the sword leaving a trail of orange sparks on the ground.

"Is it here?"

She muttered to herself as she strolled aimlessly among the abandoned sinks.

This has truly become a boss in a horror game.

"Or is it still there?"

Bai Ze covered Xia Yunli's mouth, and the two listened intently as the footsteps gradually approached and then moved away from the water tank where they were hiding.

"It's not nearby."

The moment they both breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes met those of the girl who was bending over.

"Senior, have you forgotten that I can see a few seconds into the future?"

Lu Xingyao smiled sweetly, pointing to her lifeless pupils.

It was destined from the beginning that they could not escape from the clutches of the prophetic witch!

"Future Vision! Shattered Dream Sword Technique! And the Witch's Power! It's now proven that no one can surpass me!"

She sat up, covering her right eye with one hand. "I can see things more clearly than ever before...it feels absolutely wonderful!"

Do you also have to act out your chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) at this point?

"I saw it! I saw it! I saw the scene of my senior and Lin graduating with a great relationship, and him just leaving me behind! And the scene of him leaving Fuyuna with the detective sisters who suddenly appeared, traveling the world in harmony!"

As she chanted these incomprehensible words, her aura surged and intensified!

"So that's how it is... Her compatibility with the Dream Shattering Technique even surpasses that of the original owner!"

The core member, clinging to her, explained, "There's even a reinforcement method—by observing numerous possibilities in the future—that allows you to harvest negative emotions from parallel worlds!"

"Ordinary inheritors still need to personally experience the trials of love, but the admiral only needs to project herself into the future she sees before her eyes, and she can continuously transform pain into her own strength!"

"This is...this is a whopping one million horsepower of autonomous driving!"

God the hell is green realm.

Just as Lu Xingyao was about to unleash her power to the Green Realm and blast them into dust;

Xia Yunli rushed out from the bottom of the sink and slapped her hard.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself!

With a crisp sound, the girl's face turned to the side, and her hair, which was tied in a side ponytail, came loose.

Even the surging magical power stopped flowing for a moment.

"you……"

"Listen carefully, I just want to settle old scores with him. Whatever you've misunderstood, what you've seen isn't the truth!"

Despite her body trembling slightly with fear, Xia Yunli bravely expressed her opinion.

The next moment, she was slapped and sent flying.

"Even my dad has never hit me!"

Lu Xingyao coldly withdrew her hand that had slapped the phantom thief away. The latter lay in the middle of the broken water tank like a cup of tea, murmuring in his last moments before losing consciousness—

"You even lied to me and said the Personality Correction Palm would be useful... I'll never forgive you... you bastard assistant..."

"Thank you for your hard work! Your sacrifice was worthwhile, Corporal Yun Li!"

Bai Ze felt no remorse for deceiving his teammates into sacrificing themselves, and successfully seized the opportunity when the junior was distracted.

No, he did feel guilty, but if he didn't step over the corpses of his companions to move forward, wouldn't all the sacrifices made by everyone (mainly referring to Xia Yunli) be in vain?

Right now, he's practically the protagonist of a shonen manga, carrying the will of his friends and determined to bring his former comrades back from the dark side!

This thought seemed to trigger the power seized from Osiris, and a magnificent and radiant power poured out, actually standing shoulder to shoulder with the magic that had completely turned dark green!

It was as if a sun was emerging from within, its scorching power dispelling the green light.

What Bai Ze usurped was the power of masculinity and the sky that Osiris ultimately sought to obtain during his ascension to godhood.

To defeat the greenery... we really must rely on the power of the sun!

A sudden realization dawned on him, and the power of words flowed naturally from his lips—

"I am the blazing sun leaping from the peak of the flood! With abundance as my shield and thunder as my spear!"

Pure sunlight burst forth, and the circular sword formation hovering around Lu Xingyao melted and collapsed in the heat, like a candle ignited by a scorching wind.

"What is that?!"

She screamed as if she had been hit by a thousand flashbangs, and temporarily lost her sight.

As a result, the tragic images that had been constantly flooding into my mind through future vision began to decrease one by one, like water without a source!

As long as you can't see it, you won't have negative emotions... That's what's called hidden green!

It's because your eyes are burdened with heavy karma!

Bai Ze took a step forward, and the sunlight transformed into lightning. He leisurely struck down the sword lights that could not be replenished with magic power one by one, slowly approaching his junior sister!
