On my second playthrough, they were full of malice towards me.

After taking a deep breath, the dark-skinned elf raised her hand and slashed at her tentacles with a cold glint in her eyes.

And the result was natural.

"Ugh."

pain

It hurts!

The dark-skinned elf in the room gasped, a sharp pain shooting through her as she "mutilated" the tentacle. She hadn't held back at all in her experiment, leaving a large gash on the tentacle, the pain nearly causing her to faint, making her grimace in pain.

So

What exactly happened?!

Chapter 147 Entering the Dream

Judging from her recent experiment, her body is perfectly normal; she only feels pain and does not experience even the slightest pleasure from it.

But why... why did she feel no pain when she was treated the same way by "that person" last time? Maybe she did feel some pain, but she was overwhelmed by the huge, inexplicable pleasure that followed, which made her show such an ugly side in the sanctuary in front of her children!

What the dark-skinned elf found even more unbelievable, and what was also the reason she conducted the experiment, was...

Besides the feeling of pleasure.

She later discovered that her strength had actually increased!?

Even though "that person" severed several of her tentacles and even destroyed her spiritual body within the Turbid Calamity Space, the Turbid Calamity power within her body actually increased significantly.

Moreover, this growth rate is equivalent to what she absorbed over several decades.

That's why she was thinking about whether she could replicate it. If she could increase her power just by "self-harm," then it wouldn't be long before she could bring this world back into her arms.

Unfortunately, it seems that things are not that simple now.

Just as the dark-skinned elf frowned, racking her brains to figure out what was missing, she suddenly sensed something. All the tentacles on her back retracted and hid again, and her skin turned fair and translucent. Soon after, a knock sounded at the door. When she went out, there was Hero outside.

Hero first spoke to his still noble and beautiful mother, briefly explaining the defeat of Ba'er and the Dragon Kingdom, expressing his sorrow for Ba'er and his determination to avenge him, and then...

“Mother, I went to the Dragon Kingdom and retrieved this cursed jade. I think it would be best if you kept such an item.”

The elf already knew about Ba'er and the Dragon Kingdom, but in her opinion, when the empress chose to sacrifice her own power to lift the curse on the demi-humans, Ba'er had not lost, but had already won, and her goal had been achieved. Even if the empress was not demoted afterward, she would definitely be severely weakened, which was equivalent to helping her remove a threat from "them".

As for the cursed skeletal jade that Hero is now supposedly "recovering" in his possession...

The elf immediately recognized that this cursed jade was completely rotten inside; the turbidity within had long since dissipated. However, upon closer inspection...

"Ok?"

"Great! Hollo, you did a fantastic job!"

Seeing his mother's face first furrowed but then quickly softened into one of happiness, Hero breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lena hadn't lied to him after all.

Seeing how quickly Mother took the Cursed Jade back to her room, it must be very effective for her.

With this thought in mind, Hero felt much more at ease.

What he didn't know was that inside the room, the elves were indeed using the Cursed Jade, but the "method" they used was quite different from what Hero had imagined.

Reverting to her true form, the dark-skinned elf once again placed a tentacle on the table, making a chopping motion. But this time, she wasn't using the knife she had before; instead, she was holding the cursed jade that Hero had just given her.

Bang!

The black-skinned elf mistook the skeletal jade for a mere rock, and slammed its sharp edges into her tentacles. And this time…

"hiss!"

As usual, the dark-skinned elf gasped for breath first, but what was different was that after the pain, that familiar pleasure actually reappeared, making her face flush slightly, and at the same time, the power in her body really did increase a little!

The dark-skinned elf, seizing the opportunity, continued to ravage his tentacles with the Cursed Orb until the pleasure diminished and his power ceased to increase. Only then did the dark-skinned elf reluctantly stop, the expression of ecstasy and enjoyment on his face gradually fading.

That's it

Although the increase in power this time was very weak, it was still equivalent to the amount of turbidity she absorbed in a week. The dark-skinned elf finally began to understand her own body.

This body can indeed increase its strength through the bizarre method of "taking beatings," but this powerful talent, as it stands, has an absolute limitation.

Just

The beatings she receives must come from "that person" or be from items tainted with "that person's" aura, like the Cursed Jade now. The more "that person's" aura aura a jade contains, the better the effect of the beatings she receives!

The reason for this could be due to the nature of the body itself, or it could be due to the unknown reaction that occurred after they merged together.

After all, the essence of the power of turbidity is negative emotions.

What most stirred up her negative emotions was undoubtedly the humiliating execution she suffered at the hands of "that person" in that lair five hundred years ago, where she was slowly and painstakingly cut to pieces and eliminated by him.

This quirk might be a result of both physical and mental factors.

No.

Excitement gleamed in the dark-skinned elf's eyes.

Rather than calling it a quirk, she prefers to see it as a talent!

After all, using this method to increase strength is just too fast!

And she herself is indeed

I really enjoyed it.

Having identified the patterns and found a more efficient method, a brand-new revenge plan naturally emerged in her mind.

Why is she still absorbing the world's turbidity every day? As long as she keeps looking for opportunities to get beaten up by "that person," she can not only quickly regain her strength, but also lull "that person" into a false sense of security! Make him take her for granted!

That way, when she returns to her peak, or even a higher level, and easily defeats "that person" again, she can enjoy the incredulous look in "that person's" eyes.

The dark-skinned elf trembled with excitement at the mere thought of that scene.

To achieve this grand goal, she not only had to be beaten and deliberately lose each time, but she also had to lose miserably, the more miserably she lost, the better!

Ideally, she would be nailed to a cross by "that person," and in a deep sense of powerlessness, having lost the ability to resist, she could only let the other party manipulate her, and in the end, be branded with the shame of a loser.

As she gradually calmed down from the exciting fantasies, the most crucial point of the plan was that she had to make sure she didn't go too far and actually get killed by "that person".

So after thinking it over, there's only one best solution left.

She would never meet "that person" in the real world until she was completely certain.

Fortunately, there is more than one world.

Beyond reality

There is another world.

This world of consciousness, like the previous Turbid Space, can also be described as a dream world.

Since we've mentioned "dreams"...

The elf tidied her clothes and prepared to go find her other outstanding child, also a high-ranking Forsaken in Sky Armor, just like "Hero".

The reason is also very simple.

Because the Sky Armor is in charge of the Mechanical Alliance.

And the plan she carried out was

"Entering a Dream"

Chapter 148 Heaven knows, Earth knows, you know, I know

Dragon Kingdom, Orc Plains, within the forbidden zone of the Ancient Wolf Clan.

The blessing ceremony, which lasted for a day and a night, finally came to an end.

As a participant, Liao Ji also deeply realized that if he had a cigarette, he would really like to smoke one right now.

Subhumans are indeed different from humans.

Their appetites are simply too big.

As for the Dragon People, who are among the best of the subhuman races, even though he was mentally prepared, Liao Ji found that he had greatly underestimated the Dragon Girl after actually doing it.

How can I describe it?

If we use Styutia as the unit of measurement, Liao Ji roughly estimated that it would take four and a half Styutia's workload to equal that of one dragon girl.

Moreover, Liao Ji never expected that, despite being such a cold and aloof person, Jiu You was usually the quietest among "them".

But after Jiu You let him hold onto the "dragon horns" on her head, it was as if some strange switch had been turned on. The dragon girl's subsequent behavior completely overturned Liao Ji's previous impression of Jiu You.

If we take Styutia as an example again, it can be compared to the difference between a saint and a witch.

So

Why does the image of Styutia keep popping into his mind?

Holding the dragon girl in his arms, who was wrapped tightly around him like an "octopus subhuman," Liao Ji couldn't help but ponder this serious question.

First, we can rule out the possibility that it's due to a guilty conscience.

The remaining option should be Sthija, as a priestess with powerful healing abilities, who can help the dragon girl recover better from the weakness after the ritual.

You can tell from the way Jiu You is lying on top of her that the Dragon Girl is very weak.

Although he joined the ritual and assisted from the sidelines, preventing Jiu You from being damaged in the foundation, the enormous consumption of the ritual still left Long Niang's power nearly exhausted.

On the panel, Jiu You's rank is still displayed as six-star "Calamity" level, and his level has not changed. However, in the status bar, there are many debuffs (negative effects) that Liao Ji can see at a glance.

This is the unavoidable cost of the ritual; it is these rituals that have significantly reduced Jiuyou's attributes to a very low level. Fortunately, these are all temporary, which is better than a permanent decrease in attributes.

另外

That's right, the control panel.

Only those who have been contracted and corrupted will have a panel.

Thinking of this, Liao Ji reached out and gently brushed aside the dragon girl's fiery red hair in his arms, revealing a brand-new contract emblem that shimmered with light on Jiu You's fair nape after he touched it.

I don't know whether to say it's a case of good fortune and misfortune being intertwined.

Although Jiu You had given away all her immense power to make up for her debt to the Dragon Kingdom, which made her feel like she had fallen from her pedestal, on the other hand, it was precisely because she was on the "pedestal" and in such a high position that with Liao Ji's current strength, even if Jiu You actively cooperated, it would be completely futile, and it could be said that the time was far off.
