From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 654: To die with memories or to live on while forgetting them?

"Princess of the Mermaid Kingdom, are you sure you want to be our enemy?" A ten-meter-tall golden-striped polar bear landed on the sea. The instant it touched the ground, a spirit ring behind it glowed faintly, and a chilling domain expanded outwards for a hundred meters from its center, instantly turning the sea below into a thick layer of ice! With a thud, the polar bear shattered the shaking ice, but no seawater surged in, because... the moment the ice broke, a new layer of ice condensed!

The golden-striped polar bear walked toward the ancient mermaid on the sea surface, and the ice layer continued to spread as he moved forward!

He is the Frost Bear Douluo of the Ice and Snow Empire, with a soul power level of 94!

After fusing with his Black Realm Ice Silkworm partner's martial soul, his combat power was close to that of a Super Douluo!

This is the Super Douluo of this era! Not the Super Douluo of a hundred years ago who might not even be able to defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast!

"Your Ice God is betraying the covenant!" The ancient mermaid roared at the golden-striped white bear that was gradually approaching it! Its ferocious face, bluish-black scales and fins covered with spikes, serpentine hair, and six centipede-like arms made it hard to imagine that this was actually a mermaid of the same race as the mermaid Kelly!

As a mermaid warrior with a cultivation level of 100,000 years, Kailin could feel an intense pressure and threat emanating from the golden-striped white bear that was the human soul master in front of her. Although the growth rate of soul beasts had been accelerated by at least ten times by the Sage's Ring, the cultivation speed of soul masters was even more terrifying!

The human before me is one of the most outstanding humans on the Douluo Continent since the day the gods fell! At less than thirty years old, he already possesses combat power comparable to a Super Douluo! He is qualified to contend with a ferocious beast at the 200,000-year level!

Its mutated martial soul, the Frost Armor Bear, possesses the terrifying potential to rival the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!

Upon hearing this, Frost Bear Douluo Zhao Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light. The words of this Mermaid Kingdom's eldest princess had already made her stance clear, indicating that she was destined to be on the opposite side of the Ice and Snow Empire. Therefore, he was too lazy to waste words with her and directly charged towards the Ancient Mermaid!

boom!

The Golden-Striped Polar Bear and the Ancient Mermaid clashed instantly! The terrifying ice claws tore through the Ancient Mermaid's water armor, while the Mermaid's water blades couldn't penetrate the Golden-Striped Polar Bear's frost armor at all!

"You think you can leave alive?! Dream on! The Orca Clan has already patrolled over here!" The Golden-Striped White Bear continuously unleashed various unpredictable soul skills, transforming them into ice claws that tore through the scales of the ancient mermaid time and time again. As a human Title Douluo, Zhao Ming was not afraid of a true 100,000-year-old soul beast in close combat!

Zhao Ming was initially alarmed as to why a mermaid could break through the outer perimeter of the blockade. He knew that there was a dense network of mental energy on the seabed, which was designed to prevent anyone from discovering that the Ice Empire was trying to connect to the Sun and Moon Continent through the ice.

However, upon seeing Princess Kailin of the Mermaid Kingdom, Zhao Ming felt a slight sense of relief. It wasn't that their blockade was weak; rather, Kailin was a 100,000-year-old spiritual water-attribute sea spirit beast, so it was normal that she hadn't been discovered. As for the two mermaids, Kelly and Kevin, they were extremely lucky, having passed through before the encirclement was formed. It was only later that Kailin directly encountered the Ice and Snow Empire constructing the 'White Great Wall'.

However, Zhao Ming's anger towards the ancient mermaid quickly rose again. What the hell was this mermaid that disappeared without a trace in the sea? Couldn't it just stay quiet for a bit?! Or couldn't it take a detour? Anyway, at the speed of the Ice and Snow Empire, it would be able to connect directly to the Sun and Moon Continent in less than a month. At that time, the Ice and Snow Empire would not be afraid of pressure from other forces at all!

Because Douluo Continent is now connected to Sun Moon Continent, the original ban that "Technological Federation forces are forbidden from setting foot on Douluo Continent" is invalid! The continents are connected now, so what the hell do you call this new continent?!

As for which god-king cheated?

Sorry, Zhao Ming learned through other channels that the Sun Moon Continent wouldn't care about any of this, because they've already made up their minds to completely destroy the Douluo Continent! Even more so, to destroy this entire planet! They won't let us play? Then nobody should play at all!

Unlike the peaceful and idyllic life on Douluo Continent, I've heard that Sun Moon Continent is already a pressure cooker ready to explode at any moment.

"I admit that your mermaid race has excellent spiritual talent, but can non-100,000-year-old mermaids, who have lost your protection, still break through the blockade? Dive into the trench? Sorry, the orcas will tear them apart!" The golden-striped polar bear roared as it tore apart the bodies of the ancient mermaids. Blood and scales splattered from the ancient mermaids' bodies, adding a touch of crimson to the broken ice flowers floating on the ice surface, adding a touch of broken beauty!

From the Golden-Striped White Bear's furious roar, one could hear the immense fear and rage within this Frost Bear Douluo of the Ice and Snow Empire. The project he was in charge of had actually allowed several mermaids to traverse back and forth on the seabed. If word got out, punishment would be a minor matter; the real problem would be the exposure of the plan! The Ice and Snow Empire was certainly not afraid of pressure from the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, which possessed several gods, but Zhao Ming was worried that the gods of the opposing forces might come and violently sabotage the White Great Wall project!

The most dangerous phase of the entire White Great Wall project is the initial connection phase. If it's destroyed, the Ice and Snow Empire will no longer be able to secretly open a path. However, once the most difficult connection work is completed, the subsequent defense and reinforcement phases will no longer be the Ice and Snow Empire's responsibility. The White Great Wall is the Ice and Snow Empire's plan, but on the Sun and Moon Continent, its full name is "Arctic Continent"!

The Sun and Moon forces cannot simply rush to Douluo Continent all at once. Instead, they will use the slow Arctic Continent plan to test the Asura God King's attitude and ultimately decide whether to destroy Douluo Continent or Douluo Star.

Boom!

Above the icy sea, a giant ice bear relentlessly tore apart the scales of an ancient mermaid to vent its rage. At the same time, on the other side, a giant ice scorpion plunged into the sea with a splash, swimming towards the nearby trench.

Further away, more than a dozen black dorsal fins, each two or three meters tall, seemed to have received some message. They accelerated and then dived into the seabed, closing in on the trench surrounding an ice wall.

Eek!

Almost immediately, the powerful, piercing roar of the sea whales echoed from the bottom of the trench; they had spotted the mermaid!

"Sister...I...I'm scared." In the dark and cold trench, little Kevin buried his head in Kelly's arms. Behind them, a black-faced sea killer whale more than ten meters long had already begun its pursuit!

"Although this seems like a dead end, I don't want to lie to you. Surrendering is the only way to survive." As the mermaid Kelly was frantically fleeing with little Kevin, Chen Hong's voice came from behind Kelly. Kelly subconsciously turned around and her pupils widened in shock, because she saw a familiar black figure wearing a coral mask sitting on the head of the bloodthirsty killer whale that was chasing them!

Roar!

The moment Kelly turned around, the bloodthirsty killer whale suddenly accelerated and charged forward with its gaping maw, wide enough to swallow Kelly whole!

thump.

Time seemed to freeze. Kelly's pupils widened little by little as the gaping maw drew closer and closer, but her body seemed unable to keep up with her thoughts. She could only watch helplessly as the gigantic maw lunged at her.

At that moment, she suddenly heard that familiar voice, the one that stirred such complex emotions within her, ring out once more:

"First of all, welcome to the world of mind overclocking." Wearing a coral mask, Chen Hong slowly rose in this slow, almost frozen world, just like a normal person.

"Secondly, it seems your loyalty to Poseidon caused you to miss the opportunity to surrender safely."

"Finally, we can make a deal. I will give you the strength to start anew, and in return, you will lose all memories of me."

So, is it better to die with memories in your heart, or to live on while forgetting them?

Please tell me your choice.
