From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 655 Reclaiming Its Own Conceptual Anchor Point

Will I ever forget you?

"Yes, that's right."

"To forget you forever?"

"To be more precise, it's not that you've forgotten me, but that you've never seen me."

"But...if I die, won't you be the same?"

"You're very clever. Actually, I can achieve some goals without doing anything, but I can give you a completely new option."

"Then... will you remember all of this?"

"Hehe." The boy in black chuckled without saying a word, his deep eyes beneath the coral mask calmly watching the mermaid girl who was almost swallowed by the gaping maw of blood.

Will he forget everything?

No.

He will remember everything.

So what's your choice?

hum!

Suddenly, a powerful mental shockwave exploded on the seabed, and countless ice crystals instantly froze everything in the thousand-meter-wide area!

The sudden change instantly attracted the attention of the other beings around. When the Ancient Mermaid saw that it was in the direction of his younger brother and sister, he was immediately thrown into a panic. Frost Bear Douluo, on the other hand, frowned deeply because he sensed that the aura of that extremely pure ice did not belong to any party within the Ice and Snow Empire!

The suddenly formed ice surface began to crack, and a beautiful mermaid dressed in an ice crystal dress, holding a small mermaid, flew out from the crack. Mysterious patterns resembling branches and vines covered her entire body, and on her fair forehead, an ice-blue plant rune resembling an eight-pointed flower slowly emerged.

If a Soul Master from the Technological Federation were here, they would surely be able to recognize the meaning behind that rune.

Celestial Grade: Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass!

Swish!

Just then, a dazzling ice needle shot straight at her from afar!

However, the Ice Crystal Mermaid silently extended a finger and gently touched the ice needle launched by the 100,000-year-old Ice Scorpion King. With a crack, the ice needle, like crystal, shattered instantly in mid-air into a dazzling cloud of light.

"Sister, you..." Little Kevin, nestled in Kelly's arms, looked up at his sister in a daze. He saw a crystal-clear teardrop that had somehow slid down Kelly's beautiful face. As it fell, affected by the cold air, it turned into a pearl that reflected seven colors in the sunlight.

"For some reason, I feel like I've lost something very important, but I can't remember what it is at all."

Blessed by the ultimate ice, Kelly silently dispersed the surrounding icy mist. She looked at the battered and bruised ancient mermaid in the distance with somewhat empty eyes, and then sighed with some disappointment, "Stop. We can come up with a solution that benefits both sides."

"..." Frost Bear Douluo raised an eyebrow slightly, but he ultimately chose to stop and instead looked at the Ice Crystal Mermaid, whose bloodline seemed to have suddenly mutated for some unknown reason.

"Tell me your plan," Frost Bear Douluo said coldly. At the same time, Ice Scorpion King and the remaining orcas surrounded the ice crystal mermaid.

"We have no mission to spy on you; it was all a coincidence. If you leave us all here, the merfolk kingdom will inevitably notice something amiss and discover your actions. We don't want to be your enemies; the fish don't want to be your enemies. So, let's compromise: you won't harm us, and we won't hinder your plans. How about that?"

"Kelly! How could you abandon your people and leave them behind?!" The ancient mermaid roared, seemingly disapproving of Kelly's plan.

"Sister, your choice will truly lead the merfolk to their demise. You have seen the Ice and Snow Empire's determination. To cover their tracks, they will even make the decision to temporarily slaughter the merfolk kingdom to conceal their true purpose."

"Sister, the way of survival for the mermaid race is to care about nothing."

This time, the ancient mermaid suddenly fell silent, its resistance weakening, and Frost Bear Douluo didn't seize the opportunity to attack. Killing these three mermaids wasn't the best option; the best option was for them to submit and stop meddling.

These three mermaids are all offspring of the Mermaid Queen, and their sudden disappearance will only attract more mermaid spies.

"If everyone had your level of awareness, then there might not be so much meaningless slaughter in this world." Frost Bear Douluo pondered for a moment, then agreed to Mermaid Princess Kelly's decision. At this point in time, their Ice and Snow Empire had no need to destroy the Mermaid Kingdom. What they needed was to buy time. If these three mermaids had surrendered and submitted from the beginning, Frost Bear Douluo would at most have only placed them under house arrest and tried to reach some kind of cooperation agreement with them.

However, the resistance of the ancient mermaid was extremely strong. Its posture of being willing to die for the sea god made Frost Bear Douluo give up on persuading it and directly kill it to delay as much time as possible.

And what the ice crystal mermaid said was right. Given how much the Ice and Snow Empire valued this project, if the ice crystal mermaid escaped to the Mermaid Kingdom, the Ice and Snow Empire would immediately launch a preemptive attack on the Mermaid Kingdom, which was located right on the ice sea.

"Please, Mermaid Princess, disperse your power and return with me to the land for further discussions." The reason Frost Bear Douluo was willing to spare the lives of the three mermaids was naturally to allow them to stabilize the mermaid kingdom on the frozen shore and prevent the kingdom from noticing anything. As long as these mermaids didn't meddle in other people's business, Frost Bear Douluo had no intention of killing innocent people indiscriminately.

"Sigh," Kelly sighed inexplicably, and then her ice crystal dress slowly faded away, and the surrounding ice slowly dissipated. The frozen orcas regained consciousness. At this moment, the Ice Scorpion King in the distance stepped on the spreading ice and threw two handcuff soul tools in front of Kelly and Kevin.

"If you want to live, then take them with you." The Ice Scorpion King's icy voice echoed across the sea.

"." Kelly and Kevin did not resist and silently put on the mysterious soul-guided handcuffs. With a click, Kelly and Kevin suddenly found that the activity of their soul power was suppressed by more than 90%!

Soul-guided handcuffs, a technology left behind by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Seeing that her younger siblings had given up struggling, a flicker of resistance crossed the mermaid general's eyes, but in the end, she retracted her true form as a soul beast and, along with Kelly and the others, was escorted back to the far north plateau by Frost Bear Douluo Zhao Ming.

"So, I'm all alone again." Above the snowstorm, Chen Hong was like a ghost that didn't exist in this world, silently looking down at everything that was happening before him.

"However, this is just the beginning."
