Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 483 Dragon-Burning Computer

In Fors' former bedroom.

"Ha~ Ah~"

Nanali yawned, then looked at the bloodshot-eyed Murasaki in the iron cage and said calmly, "Don't blame me, this is Fors's order. If I let you fall asleep, who knows how that woman would treat me."

"..."

Murasaki didn't speak, but stared fiercely at Nanali with her reddened eyes. Her eyes were red because she hadn't slept for over ten days.

Ever since Fors brought her to the governor's mansion, she has been subjected to all sorts of torment by that woman every day, including being flirted with, having Nanali pressed against her, and other strange and unusual methods.

Even so, Murasaki still did not yield to Fors. The pride of the dragon race meant she would never submit to a human; she merely glared fiercely at Nunnally, her eyes tinged with pity.

Zi Ji sneered, "After spending more than half a year with that woman, don't you know what you are in her eyes? In her eyes, we are nothing more than toys that can be discarded at any time. She can treat me like this today, and she can treat you like this tomorrow."

"Evil Soul Master, after that woman gets tired of me and kills me, you might be next. And then, your situation might be even more miserable than mine."

Hearing this, a shadow crossed Nanali's eyes, but she still said, "You don't need to worry about that. At least until then, you'll die before me, won't you?"

With that, Nanali lost all interest in arguing with Murasaki. She simply summoned a few vengeful spirits to keep an eye on Murasaki, and then began to drift off into her own thoughts.

Fors's orders were to make her torment Murasaki and not give her a chance to rest, which is why Nanali was here keeping an eye on things.

This process started about two weeks ago; in Fors's words, it's called "dragon-enduring." It involves not letting Zi Ji sleep or rest, nor letting her eat, just tormenting her like that.

There seems to be some follow-up action, but that's beyond Nanali's knowledge.

Over the past six months, Nanali had roughly learned about Murasaki's identity, so it was understandable that she was not optimistic about Fors's plan.

After all, the arrogance of dragons is almost common knowledge. Not to mention that Zi Ji is a true dragon, the kind of person who is very stubborn. Even if you torture her to death, she probably won't give in.

Just like now, the Dragon-Slaying Operation has been going on for half a month. Zi Ji seems to be nearing her limit, both physically and mentally, but she remains so stubborn and shows no sign of backing down.

For this reason, Nanali also stayed in this room for half a month, keeping a close eye on Murasaki. It was fortunate that she could control the vengeful spirits and make them watch over Murasaki in her place, otherwise, who knows who would have outlasted whom.

Whenever Murasaki tries to close her eyes, the vengeful spirit launches a mental attack on her, forcibly waking her up.

"What a stubborn guy, I hope you can hold on a little longer."

A hint of worry flashed in Nanali's eyes, but not for Murasaki, but for herself. Murasaki's words just now were indeed something that Nanali was worried about. How could she not know that Fors treated her like a toy?

Right now, at least she still has Zi Ji to protect her, but what if Fors really gets tired of her and kills Zi Ji? Will she be the next one locked in an iron cage?

Nanali couldn't help but shiver. Even the true dragon, Ziji, had been tormented so badly by Fors. She didn't think she was any tougher than Ziji.

Ziji has not eaten for half a month now. If it weren't for the dragon's powerful physique supporting her, Ziji would have fainted from hunger long ago.

After all, during the dragon-breathing process, besides Nanali keeping an eye on things, Fors would also come over from time to time to give electric shocks. Who could stand that!

Now, all Nanali can do is pray that Murasaki can hold on a little longer, at least until she finds a way to break the deadlock before she dies.

"If all else fails, we'll have to try anything, even if it's a last resort." Nanali gritted her teeth; she didn't want to activate the final plan unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Click." Just then, the room door suddenly opened, startling Nanali. Why was that woman here so early today?

"Aponia, I'll have to trouble you later."

"Since it is Miss Fors's request, I will do my best. As for the results, I cannot guarantee that."

"It's alright, it's just a pet anyway. It's perfect for being a test subject for your abilities. I won't feel bad if it dies."

Fors was seen talking to a woman with a smile on her face. The two walked and laughed, looking like best friends.

Nanali looked up and saw a tall, beautiful blonde woman. For some reason, Nanali had a feeling she'd seen her before.

"It must be my imagination."

Nunnally's gaze swept over Aponia's massive lightning bolt. Putting everything else aside, if she had actually met the other person before, just based on that explosive figure, she would at least have some impression of her.

"Nanali." Fors suddenly called out to Nanali, making her stand at attention instantly.

"Master, I'm here."

"Hmm, how has Murasaki been doing these past few days?"

"Reporting to Master, I have been supervising Murasaki these past few days. She hasn't eaten or slept for a full two weeks, and her physical functions and mental state have weakened considerably. However, she still shows no signs of opening her mouth," Nanali began her serious report.

"Hmm." Fors nodded, then took out the remote control and opened the cage door.

The material of this iron cage is actually quite ordinary; any Soul Master with a bit of strength could destroy it. It was only because Fors had a wicked sense of humor that he kept it.

What truly trapped Zi Ji were the two level-nine soul tools on her body.

"Aponia, do whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you kill them. The flesh and blood of a true dragon are a great tonic, and you can even get a soul bone as a reward."

"Okay," Aponia said politely, then walked gracefully into the iron cage.

Zi Ji still glared at them fiercely. She wanted to resist, but the power within her body was firmly imprisoned by the level nine soul tool, and she could only express her defiance with her eyes.

"Please get some sleep. Perhaps when you wake up, you'll find the world has changed."

Aponia ignored Murasaki's fierce gaze and instead, like a gentle mother, placed her hands on Murasaki's forehead.

"You..." Before Murasaki could finish speaking, she felt her eyelids getting heavy, and then she collapsed into Aponia's arms.

"What a lovely child." Aponia smiled, then said to Fors, "Well then, I'm about to begin my experiment. I'd appreciate it if Miss Fors could protect me."

"Okay, you can do it." Fors nodded.

Aponia laid Murasaki flat on the ground, then knelt down and placed Murasaki's head on her lap. After making sure she wouldn't get a stiff neck, she gently placed her hands on Murasaki's face.

Nanali, standing to the side, watched this scene with curiosity. What was this woman going to do?

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

A series of piercing sounds rang out. After Aponia placed her hands on Murasaki's face, a golden light emanated from her hands, enveloping Murasaki's head. Golden electric currents would occasionally flash from Aponia's hands.

"What's going on here? Is this some new form of punishment?"

Nanali watched this scene with some confusion. What exactly was this woman Fors had summoned up to? Was this the next step after Aolong? A computer?!

But the lightning didn't seem to have any destructive power.

However, this is only Nanali's opinion. In reality, in Murasaki's spiritual sea!

……

Aponia appeared in Murasaki's spiritual sea like a deity descending, radiating an awe-inspiring aura and surrounded by countless golden lightning bolts.

These lightning bolts are no ordinary things; they are manifestations of pure spiritual energy, each one carrying the will and power of Aponia.

Those golden lightning bolts were like divine wrath, each one seemingly woven from pure divine radiance, containing terrifying energy capable of reshaping the world order.

They crisscrossed in the dark and boundless spiritual space, emitting a deafening roar, like the thunderous sound of stars colliding at the beginning of the universe, relentlessly pouring towards Zi Ji's spiritual sea.

Murasaki's spiritual sea is a vast, purplish-black world. Here lie every emotion and memory from Murasaki's past years, intertwined and fused to form a dreamlike spiritual world.

This sea of ​​spirit is like a magnificent fortress of the soul, guarding the core of Murasaki's spirit. The seawater shimmers with a soft light, reflecting all of Murasaki's beautiful memories of the past, the resting place of her soul and the source of her spiritual power.

However, Aponia's golden lightning, like a surging, world-destroying torrent, crashed against Murasaki's spiritual sea with unstoppable force. Each strike of lightning was like a heavy hammer striking the walls of her spiritual sea, producing a heart-wrenching roar.

Under the onslaught of the storm, the fortress quickly became covered in cracks, like an ancient piece of porcelain teetering on the brink of collapse in an earthquake.

As the golden lightning continued to rage, these cracks gradually widened and spread, eventually becoming like a broken spider web, unable to withstand the attack any longer.

The moment the Sea of ​​Spirit's defenses collapsed, it released countless rays of light that shone with Zi Ji's past memories. These rays of light streaked across the darkness like shooting stars, only to be quickly dimmed by the golden lightning.

Under this endless onslaught, Zi Ji's consciousness flickered like a candle in the wind. She tried to struggle, trying to summon the power deep within her spiritual sea to resist.

But all her efforts were in vain under Aponia's godlike attack. Her consciousness was gradually eroded by the golden lightning, and her once clear self-awareness and rich emotional experiences slowly dissipated under the power of destruction.

Finally, accompanied by a desperate wail that seemed to come from the depths of her soul, Murasaki's consciousness shattered completely under the relentless bombardment of golden lightning, vanishing like a bubble in the sunlight.

Aponia gazed silently at the destroyed sea of ​​spirits, her eyes devoid of any joy, even revealing a hint of pity.

This is determined by her personality. She may look like a saint, but she can be ruthless than anyone else when it comes to doing things. That's probably a good way to describe Aponia.

However, Aponia knew that destruction was only the first step, and that rebuilding was even more important.

"Transformation through non-action".

Aponia began to piece together the fragments of Murasaki's shattered consciousness. These fragments, like stars scattered in the universe, were small yet precious, each carrying a moment from Murasaki's life.

With her incredibly refined spiritual perception, Aponia carefully captured these fragments, like a master craftsman restoring a priceless treasure.

In the process of sorting out the fragments of consciousness, Aponia, at Fors's request, began to reconstruct Murasaki's memories.

She sifted through those beautiful memories, like picking out brilliant gems from sand, and re-set them into the framework of Murasaki's memories.

Furthermore, during this process, Aponia also added Nan Fusheng and Fors into Murasaki's memories.

In that memory, Murasaki watched Nan Fusheng and Fors grow up from childhood, their relationship being both servant and subordinate—a very strange one. And she secretly loved both of them simultaneously. Yes, she was bisexual.

Because of this somewhat shameful reason, Murasaki kept her feelings hidden and simply followed the two of them silently.

As for her being a true dragon, how could she possibly follow Nan Fusheng and Fors, such minor flaws? The precepts will fill in the gaps for her on their own.

As for other memories, such as the arrogance of the dragon race, the revival of the soul beast race, the respect for the dragon god, and the memories of Gu Yuena, Di Tian, ​​and the other ten ferocious beasts, Aponia carefully separated them as if removing a malignant tumor.

As the framework of her memories gradually became clearer, Aponia began to work on reshaping Murasaki's personality.

She didn't change in that respect, but she selected the parts that best represented the essence of Murasaki from those fragments of consciousness. Each memory was precisely placed in the right position, and those beautiful memories about family, friendship and love became the warm background for building Murasaki's new personality.

Aponia used her spiritual power, like a skilled craftsman shaping clay, to meticulously mold Murasaki's new personality.

This new personality will no longer be affected by any negative factors that may have existed in the past, but will become a purer and more valuable being under Aponia's guidance.

Through her tireless efforts, Zi Ji's entire spiritual sea was completely reshaped.

This is not amnesia or brainwashing, but a true shattering and reshaping of the original Murasaki's soul.
