Talulah, I'm still a child.

With her fingers twirling a strand of dry hair, the doctor sighed helplessly, her eyes fixed on the broken blue stone tablet at Amaya's feet. She remembered it as one of the most brilliant inventions of ancient humans, yet also one of the roots that led them to their destruction.

After years of research on Mei Xue and Su Xueer, the three research institutes jointly developed the stone tablet and named it "Screen". The stone tablet has the function of observing various possibilities, which, simply put, means seeing different future directions.

However, in more than three thousand experiments, they only saw the destruction of their own civilization. Yes... only destruction. But who could have imagined that Number Ten resided in that stone tablet? He was the negative aspect of Mei Xue, and naturally, he only manifested destruction. However, the civilization at that time did not know this. They were astonished that all their actions were so in line with the direction of destruction.

Even asking Mei Xue for help would be futile, not only because Mei Xue didn't have the ability at the time, but also because this matter went against the course of fate.

In other words, the entire civilization was unintentionally guided and chose the path of destruction.

"We lost..."

"But civilization still exists. Sooner or later, they will use their own abilities to come here, repair this artificial satellite, and embark on their journey to the homeland of their ancestors."

Mei Xue gently wagged her tail as she spoke, then walked to the window and looked at the planet called Terra. The effect of her self-burning had yielded excellent results. The planet, which was almost completely burned out, had gained new vitality. Of course, this only accounted for a small portion of the released energy. The rest would spread throughout the universe, giving all civilizations locked in their cradles more opportunities.

This can be considered the little fox's compensation. His actions back then unintentionally killed countless possibilities. Although even if he hadn't done it, those possibilities might not have given birth to parallel universes with the changing times, Mei Xue's actions in the past were indeed unkind.

"This is so annoying... why now of all times..."

The doctor closed her eyes, trying hard not to let her tears fall, but her voice trembled with a sob. Unlike the doctor on Rhodes Island, she wasn't so open-minded. She wondered if Mei Xue could have recovered to her current state back then, would the director and their civilization have been spared destruction?

"Because this is also fate, Doctor. Just like your destruction, just like Theresa's death, there are some things I cannot stop, otherwise what would follow would be an even greater disaster."

"If we prevent your destruction, you will drag the entire universe down to zero afterward; if we prevent Theresa's death, when she defeats Theresis and the Sarkaz reunite, the Sarkaz will face encirclement and suppression from all sides, and Kazdel will probably be destroyed again."

Although it was a question, Mei Xue's tone was that of a statement. The doctor knew he had seen it, which was why he made that choice.

"Then, war will reignite, and apart from the Great Yan, which has no time to fight, and the Iberia, which is preoccupied with its own problems, the whole world will be in chaos."

"...I never imagined that you would be so powerless one day."

"Because I can't be heartless."

Mei Xue twitched her ears in a cute and adorable way, and her helpless scratching of her face was so endearing that it made you want to reach out and touch her.

"Just as one lie needs another to fill the gap, eventually becoming a hole that no amount of lies can patch up, every change in fate requires more changes to maintain it. Even the smallest change can be fatal if one is not careful."

“I know it’s not your fault, it’s just that our conflict is irreconcilable… Well, after all this time, it’s about time.”

"Well, it's almost there."

The Doctor was somewhat worried. She didn't know Mei Xue as well as she did herself at Rhodes Island. If it were the Doctor from Rhodes Island here, she would definitely be able to guess what Mei Xue was going to do. But she just felt that the little fox in front of her was becoming more and more creepy as she smiled.

If Talulah were here and heard what this Doctor was thinking, she'd probably yell at him for being blind. Her Meixue is the cutest no matter how she smiles; the little fox is simply the cutest in the universe!

"My last resort is to take this satellite with me and explode. What about you?"

"I'm just here to take my things back."

As she spoke, Mei Xue pointed to the ground, making the young female PhD student even more nervous. She realized that she had been tricked by Mei Xue again, and had unknowingly been led astray by Mei Xue. But this shouldn't be happening.

"How did you know... that the Ninth Tail's remains were buried beneath the research lab?"

"Well, someone told me that."

Mei Xue waved her hand, turned around and disappeared from the Doctor's sight. She looked at the cradle device on her wrist. As long as her vital signs stopped, the satellite under her feet would explode. It was triggered by a countdown. The Doctor would reset the time each time. Once the countdown reached zero, the speed was so fast that even Mei Xue could not react in time.

But now, even if we blow up this artificial satellite and drag the surrounding ten light-years into the turbulence of space, can it really harm Mei Xue, who obtained the last skeleton?

Chapter 133 Theresis, constantly persecuted

"This must be the power supply center for the entire Chernobog fortress."

While Frostnova, Alina, and the others were busy dealing with the sudden and unusual situation, Miss Black Serpent was unusually relaxed. She was just using Talulah's face to appease the people and didn't need to do anything else. She could take the time to finish the things that Mei Xue had arranged.

Previously, under the pretext of delivering information to Miss Doctor, Mei Xue had also secretly approached Miss Black Snake and instructed her to come to the energy supply center in Chernobog if any major changes occurred.

Miss Black Snake had been to this place several times. She wasn't exactly familiar with it, but she wouldn't get lost. She had tricked the Inner Guard and the Third Army Group, allowing the Reunion Movement to take over the entire city with minimal losses. She was waiting for Mei Xue to come right here.

"Strange, has this place been cleaned before?"

Because Kasena is a bit of a germaphobe, Miss Black Snake also doesn't like coming here. After all, not just anyone can come to a place like the Energy Center, and there's no need to clean it. Regular maintenance and inspections are enough.

Unexpectedly, Miss Black Snake found that the entire energy supply center was even more spotless than she had imagined, and its structure was quite different from before. She wondered if the Sirens had also modified the functional channels while they were making the modifications, and probably even cleaned it up.

Thanks to the replica sarcophagus provided by Mei Xue, the Siren lolis, whose technology was already at its peak, developed even faster. They realized that archaeology was a project with great potential, and they continued to excavate ancient technologies, restore, organize, learn, and improve them. Even if they couldn't make a sarcophagus by hand yet, figuring out how to use it was a piece of cake.

"Let me see... Is this correct? Open the password... Hmm, it's not the same as last time?"

Looking at the stone coffin in front of her, Miss Black Snake really couldn't figure out what Mei Xue had put inside. However, the little fox did give her a very detailed instruction manual.

Miss Black Serpent was also secretly observing when this sarcophagus was opened last time. She remembered that the Rhodes Island group didn't use this password when they opened the sarcophagus.

But whatever, she just needed to follow the little fox's instructions. She found the input panel, retrieved the backup fingerprint, and then entered it...

"It's so short?"

Just as Miss Black Snake was remarking that the task seemed easy, the stone coffin that had received the order slowly opened.

Let me see~

Curious, Miss Black Snake lay down beside the stone coffin, intending to see what secret weapon Mei Xue had placed inside.

Then, when she saw the face, or the person, clearly, her mouth involuntarily gaped open.

She was a very gentle-looking person with long, white-pink hair that reached her waist. Her eyes were closed, yet she exuded a tranquility that one couldn't bear to disturb, as if any behavior that disturbed her slumber would be a sin. Miss Black Snake subconsciously held her breath, not because she was captivated by her, but because she knew her.

Theresa, the former Sarkaz Demon Lord, and one of the great heroes of the Sarkaz in the past.

"Hmm... how long have I been asleep?"

The blinding white light awakened the sleeping beauty. Theresa slightly opened her gentle, watery pink eyes and sat up with her eyes half-closed.

In this completely unfamiliar place, her consciousness was gradually aligning with her body. She quickly understood her situation, gently moved her fingers, and breathed a sigh of relief upon feeling no resistance.

"So, I was resurrected here, no, someone took my place in death."

As consciousness gradually returned, the previously hazy memories became clear, like a very long dream—no, it wasn't a dream at all.

"that……"

"Ah, Ms. Kasena, hello, thank you for waking me up."

After politely thanking Miss Black Serpent, Theresa reached out and picked up a small box from her side. If Emengard were here, he would be surprised to find that the sandalwood box in Theresa's hand was exactly the same as the one given to him by Snow Plum No. 3.

But now, this relatively young lich girl was astonished by the sudden changes that had occurred. In just ten minutes, first, four pillars of light shot into the sky, and then something unexpected happened at the Shards Tower. She didn't know whether she should go and help.

After just one glance at the battle, she felt that she was not worthy of participating. Seriously, it was beyond her level of involvement. If you're not from the royal court, don't get involved.

"Damn it! How could this happen..."

Reaching out, he wiped away the flames that were about to strike. Number Ten stretched out his hands to block the greatsword that was over ten meters long. His body was like a cell phone that hadn't been charged for half a year; it could be used, but it wouldn't last long. Every attack from Surtr was draining his energy, making things even worse for the already impoverished child.

That's not all. The key point is that he can't escape even if he wants to. His current strength is not enough to teleport. Surtr also used Levadin's chains to seal off the surroundings, forcing him to fight head-on.

"Hmph...like a mudfish."

Although everything was going according to Mei Xue's plan, Surtr was still extremely unhappy with Number Ten, so he showed no mercy and immediately unleashed his full power.

The headless lava giant rose from the ground. Due to limited space, a size of a dozen meters was most suitable. The moment it picked up Leivatin, the magic sword, which was already longer than Surtur, grew to more than ten times its original size. Each strike carried a blazing fire that could burn a person to a crisp.

Even so, it only made Number Ten look disheveled. Surtr realized for the first time that Mei Xue's power was so terrifying. Even though Number Ten in front of him was just occupying a puppet with not much power, and his strength was even weaker than Mei Xue in the Three-Tails period, and he could even be burned by flames, he had too much experience.

He knew how to use this power. The flames of Levadin would be extinguished, and his strength was enough to barely withstand the attack. Even if he couldn't withstand it, he could dodge it. His speed was extraordinary. It was really hard to understand where those two short legs got such speed.

"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this..."

Number Ten gritted his teeth in hatred. He had calculated everything, including the Doctor's possible plans, which is why he had the Doctor on the moon to be in charge of the countermeasures. He had also considered the various methods that Su Xue'er might have left for Mei Xue. However, the folding fan that Su Xue'er left behind had also been used.

They had considered the possibility of Kal'tsit making a move, but even though Kal'tsit had lived for tens of thousands of years, she only had a superficial understanding of the ancient historical truths and posed no real threat.

No matter how much they calculated, they never expected Mei Xue to be so calculating, nor did they expect this little fox to actually learn to use his brain. He even remembered that he had this organ! He's been so naive and innocent for billions of years, why did he suddenly become so cunning now? Damn it.

"What do you mean you shouldn't have done? You're the one who should have done it the most."

Looking at Cecilia, who was still unconscious beside him, Surtr became increasingly displeased. His anger transformed into food for Levadin, driving it to become more and more ferocious and terrifying, making people shudder.

"You deserve to die for letting Cecilia see that kind of thing!"

Mei Xue treated Cecilia like a younger sister, and Surtr naturally extended that affection to her as well. Besides, the little angel was very lovable, and she gradually grew to like the girl as well.

Imagine if Surtr watched herself pierce the heart of her beloved Mei Xue with her own hands; she wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow, let alone Cecilia, who admired Mei Xue the most, who was only eight years old!

The entire top of the Shard was set ablaze, becoming a spectacular sight in the Londinium night. Number Ten knew he couldn't delay any longer, or something terrible would happen. He couldn't even defeat Surtr alone, let alone who might come later. He couldn't see the timeline while inside Cecilia, and he didn't know how many tricks Mei Xue had up her sleeve.

But now, he must quickly find a way to stop Mei Xue's plan. Now that he knows Mei Xue is on the moon, even if Number Ten were to think with his tail, he would know what she is up to.

Moreover, the current situation is too unfavorable. Mei-Xue with four tails can easily defeat Surtr in his prime, but with three tails, he would be overwhelmed. That is the difference. With each additional tail Mei-Xue has, his strength will increase exponentially.

The key point is that, as time goes on, Number Ten can feel himself being influenced by Mei Xue. The uniqueness of the little fox makes it impossible for a second one to exist in the world. Number Ten is also showing differences from Mei Xue, such as... gender.

Yes, he felt himself gradually turning into a girl, and in a little while he could say he was her.

"So what exactly happened...?"

"Fire?"

"Sigh, it looks like they're fighting!"

"My God, what are those glowing things?"

More and more people came out of their homes, looked at the flames burning on the Shard, and then glanced at the towering aurora pillars. They all sensed that something was wrong, as if the world was about to change.

However, the most dumbfounded one was Therese. Teacher Therese had originally thought that since Amiya and the others were not causing trouble, he would ignore them for the time being. For Mei Xue's sake, he would have that alien successor hold a meeting after a while to see how capable he was of taking on the role of Demon King.

If she can handle it, then fine, Therese will give this little rabbit time to come and take the position away. If she can't handle it, then she can go back on her own. They won't make things difficult for her, mainly because they can't beat Mei Xue anyway.

It's so great to have a powerful figure protecting you, and they even defend you. It's something to be envied. Theresis has been eyeing the Great Yan for years. If Kazdel had Mei Xue as its mascot back then, anyone who dared to come would be dead!

But no, the little fox belongs to the Great Yan family. There's nothing Sarkaz can do but rely on himself, which is why he has to use the Shattered Building as his trump card. However... the Shattered Building that he painstakingly repaired is now engulfed in flames, and by tomorrow morning it will probably only be a skeleton.

"...Your Highness, are you crying?"

"No, I just... don't know what to say for a moment."

Therese pursed his lips, trying to appear calm, but the absolutist could tell that his eyes were almost as red as the Blood Demon Lord's, who had a severe case of red-eyedness.

It's impossible for Therese not to feel the pain; his heart is bleeding. He's rediscovered the feeling of being cursed by the little fox in her diary. The pain is unbearable.

"Let the city garrison maintain order, but what about Theresa?"

"His Highness has already gone there, as have the people from Rhodes Island."

This is not surprising. At the top of the broken building, Therese remembered that Mei Xue liked to sit there and enjoy the breeze. Judging from this situation, could it be that a fight has broken out?

That's not right. Others may not know, but the Sarkaz Royal Court does know about Mei Xue. Surtr is indeed very strong. Even if she's not at her peak now, she can still fight the Blood Demon Lord to a standstill. However, that doesn't mean she can fight Mei Xue, especially the Nine-Tailed Mei Xue, who is a living ancestor.
