Hei Xier suddenly sneered and swung the sickle in her hand. The dark energy on the sickle became stronger under her control. She no longer concealed her murderous intent, and a cold aura emanated from her whole body.

"Since you want to be brighter so much, let me show you my true power!" Hei Xier roared.

Just when Hei Xier was about to attack Adam, Adam waved his hand casually, and then many golden chains appeared in the sky, directly binding Hei Xier in place.

Hei Xier felt a strong binding force coming from the chains. She tightly grasped the sickle in her hand and tried to break free. But no matter how hard she tried, the chains seemed to have life, tightly binding her body and not giving her the slightest chance.

"What are these things!" A flash of fear flashed across Hei Xier's eyes. She immediately realized that she was in an unfamiliar and dangerous situation. She gritted her teeth, and the energy in her body surged wildly, trying to break free from the restraints.

However, no matter how she struggled, the chains remained as solid as a rock, unmoved. Hei Xier felt that her own strength was insignificant in front of the chains, and she fell into complete despair.

"Give up, these are the chains of the 'Oath of Judah', you can't break free." Adam's voice sounded coldly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

Hei Xier's face became even gloomier. She looked at Adam with gritted teeth, angry at his contempt and ridicule. She knew she had fallen into a trap carefully designed by Adam. These chains not only bound her body, but also imprisoned her freedom and power.

"You bastard, let me go!" Hei Xier roared, and the energy in her body surged wildly, trying to destroy the chains.

However, the golden light emitted from the chains was even more dazzling. Hei Xier's attack was like a paper wall in front of the chains and could not cause any substantial damage at all.

Hei Xier felt her morale gradually weakening, and she knew she was in a desperate situation. A glimmer of determination flashed in her eyes, and she decided not to waste time entangled with Adam, but to find a way to unlock the chains as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Adam didn't give her any chance at all. At this time, Adam was already standing in front of He Xier with his weapon on her neck.

"Let's have a good talk. It's not a solution to continue like this. I know you have no ill will towards Xier." Adam tried to talk to He Xier at this time, but the other person's face was full of sarcasm.

"That coward?! I wish I could kill her right now!"

However, Adam could feel that although He Xier's words were murderous, his eyes were a little erratic.

Adam knew that this guy probably really had no intention of doing anything to Xier.

Chapter 710: Reaching a Consensus

Adam didn't feel anything about He Xier's bad attitude. After all, the other party had been tied up and could not escape. Could the other party jump up and bite him?

"Tell me, where is Xier? Why are you the only one here?" Adam asked Hei Xier at this time.

"Who knows where that coward is? Maybe he's dead." He Xier pretended to be indifferent, but the other person's eyes betrayed her.

Hei Xier's eyes flickered, and one could almost see the struggle within her. Her lips pressed tightly together, like a solid dam, blocking Adam's questioning. Adam raised an eyebrow in disdain. He wasn't surprised by Hei Xier's stubbornness; after all, this woman had shown a cold and ruthless attitude from the beginning. However, he didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion towards her attitude. After all, she was already tied up, and even if she had hidden secrets, they couldn't escape his control.

Hei Xier fell into an awkward silence, her eyes wandering, as if she was struggling to give up her stubbornness. Adam's eyes were fixed on every subtle change on her face. He could clearly feel the fluctuations in Hei Xier's heart, and her eyes revealed her uneasiness.

"You two are the same person, yet you say you don't know something? That's not the way to lie, right?" Adam's voice was filled with sarcasm, his expression odd and playful. He had expected He Xier to lie, but her choice amused him.

He Xier didn't respond. Her eyes turned to the distance, as if she was looking for an excuse to support her lie. However, her silence acknowledged Adam's suspicion. Anger surged in her heart, and she felt extremely guilty for her weakness and betrayal.

Adam scoffed contemptuously. He wasn't surprised by He Xier's silent response. He had long seen through her thoughts and knew she wouldn't easily reveal the truth. He had no doubt that He Xier held the clue he was looking for, but she was hiding it so well that he had no idea where to start.

A hint of disdain flashed through Hei Xier's eyes, and she sneered, as if mocking Adam's incompetence. However, this mockery lasted only a moment, and was immediately replaced by a silent sigh. She knew she was in a desperate situation, with almost no chance of escape.

"Let's not play this kind of trick. You should know that I don't want to do anything to you. I also know that you actually want to help Xier too." Adam said to Hei Xier at this time.

Adam's words were gentle, his eyes tinged with sympathy. While he didn't know much about Seele and Black Seele, Bronya had previously revealed some details about them. In the world of Herrschers, the Herrscher and the Master are often at odds with each other, yet Black Seele and Seele had forged a unique and profound bond, each regarding the other as the most important person in their lives.

Hei Xier was slightly stunned, and she couldn't help but look at Adam in confusion. His words made her heart waver, as if touching a soft spot. She had never thought that someone would care about her and Xier so much. This feeling made her feel strange and warm.

Adam continued, "I know you are an important person to her. Maybe there are some secrets between you two that I don't want to reveal. I just want to find Xier and bring her back."

Hei Xier's eyes flashed with conflicting emotions. She wanted to believe Adam's words, but she didn't dare to easily believe his promise. For Hei Xier, she didn't trust anyone except Xier.

He Xier stared at Adam's eyes, her heart filled with hesitation and uneasiness. Although she didn't trust Adam very much, the current situation forced her to cooperate with Adam, otherwise she had no doubt that Adam would keep her locked here.

Hei Xier was silent for a moment, then finally nodded. She knew she had no other choice now. Collaborating with Adam might only be a temporary compromise, but she had to protect Xier, no matter the cost.

Adam smiled triumphantly. He had succeeded. He knew Hei Xier would agree to cooperate because she couldn't refuse this offer. After all, Xier was the most important person to Hei Xier.

"I promise you, just let me go." Hei Xier urged Adam impatiently. She was still a little skeptical about what Adam said, but she didn't expect Adam to actually let her go. Hei Xier looked around, watching the chains disappear around her, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise and confusion.

"Can you take me to find Xier now? Where is she?" Adam asked Hei Xier. Hei Xier nodded and then led Adam into the surrounding darkness. As the two stepped into the darkness, the atmosphere around them became heavy and oppressive, as if an invisible force was restraining their bodies and minds.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a lump of something that looked like black mud appeared in front of them.

"What is this?" Adam asked Hei Xier with some doubt. Hei Xier looked at the ball of mud in front of him and showed a bitter smile on his face.

"This is Xier. I've locked her up in here for now. For now... I haven't figured out how to help her grow up. Xier, this girl, is really giving me a headache." Hei Xier's voice was filled with helplessness and irritation. In her eyes, Xier's character was too childish, lacking maturity and determination.

Adam's heart moved. He understood Heile's difficulties. Xier's innocence and cowardice really wouldn't work in the outside world, but that was also her uniqueness. They needed to find a way to reconcile Xier's innocence and kindness with the cruelty and ruthlessness of the outside world.

Adam approached the mud and seemed to be able to see Xier in it.

Of course, in fact, the reason why Hei Xier was so anxious was partly because she didn't want Xier to leave the Quantum Sea.

Adam didn't quite understand the complex emotions in Hei Xier's heart. He could only say that Hei Xier was a typical tsundere.

"So, what are you going to do next? It's not an easy task to make this guy grow up." Hei Xier said to Adam.

It is not an easy task to let Xier grow up, otherwise, Hei Xier would not use this method to let Xier grow up.

Originally, Hei Xier wanted to take advantage of Adam's serious injury to let Xier deliver the final blow, but now it seems that she has to change her approach.

"Next, it's up to me." Adam looked at He Xier with a mysterious smile.

Chapter 711: Xier's Past

Xi'er grew up in the Kokolia Orphanage, a secluded place that became her entire world. As a child, she was always treated as a vulnerable child, lovingly cared for. Her fragile and docile nature ensured she always remained in that cared-for role.

However, one cold winter day, everything changed. That day, Bronya was taken to an orphanage, her reputation shattered by a failed assassination attempt. When Seele first saw Bronya's wolf-like sharpness, she felt a strange fear. Hiding in the crowd, she gazed upon the wounded yet powerful girl.

However, fate brought them together. Seele gradually realized that Bronya was not as cruel and ruthless as she had imagined, but rather possessed a gentle heart. As they spent time together, Seele gradually began to regard Bronya as her sister and hope.

By chance, Seele taught Bronya how to make carrot and beet soup. The two girls bustled about in the kitchen, their laughter echoing through the corners of the orphanage. In that moment, Seele felt Bronya's warmth and truly experienced the bond between sisters.

In Seele's world, the most beautiful promise was to ride a motorcycle with Bronya to see the sea. On a sunny afternoon, they put on leather jackets with a sense of freedom and rode on motorcycles on the road. Seele hugged Bronya's waist tightly, and the excitement and sense of freedom made her intoxicated. She closed her eyes and let the wind blow on her face. At that moment, Seele felt as if she owned the whole world. That was her happiest day.

In the orphanage, Xier maintained her faith in Santa Claus, believing that there really was a magical old man in the world who would bring happiness and joy to everyone. Although other children did not believe this story, Xier always insisted on her belief.

One winter evening, Seele returned to her cold room and suddenly discovered a beautiful hair ornament. Gazing at it, Seele suddenly remembered Bronya, who had once dressed as Santa Claus. She vividly remembered the subtle smile that had crossed her face. Seele didn't think much of it, believing it was a gift from Santa Claus.

However, Xier didn't know that there were more secrets hidden behind this hair accessory. At this moment, a girl named Xing from the orphanage walked in. Xing had always been jealous and hostile to Xier. When she saw the hair accessory in Xier's hand, she couldn't help but laugh mockingly.

Xier was irritated by Xing's ridicule, and another personality hidden deep in her heart was awakened, a powerful and violent personality. This personality possessed the power of stigmata, which could accelerate cell apoptosis and enter the spiritual world of others.

In Xi'er's body, her inner personality awakened. She used the power of the stigmata to pull out Xing's teeth one by one and entered Xing's spiritual world. In Xing's spiritual world, her inner personality and Xing had a friendly and sincere conversation.

During her conversation with Xing, Xier learned about an experiment called X-10. The purpose of this experiment was to use powerful forces to change the world. Xier decided to participate in this experiment in advance in order to find her own destiny.

Just as the experiment is about to succeed, Seele's body begins to strain against the overwhelming force. Gradually, her body becomes transparent, entering a quantum state. At this moment, her inner personality reappears, giving Seele strength and hope, freeing her from fear.

Finally, Seele vanished in front of Bronya and Seele's door, leaving behind only the hair ornament Bronya had given her. Bronya held the ornament, tears streaming down her face. She understood that Seele had become the most important person in her life, and that she would always miss her.

Seele's disappearance left the entire orphanage feeling heavy and lost, but they also understood that Seele had found her home. Bronya, wearing Seele's hair ornament and cherishing her eternal longing for Seele, began a new life.

The inner personality, Xier, is a stigmata personality born from the stigmata on Xier's chest. It records the knowledge and technology of a previous civilization, though Xier herself currently lacks full control. Xier appeared as a "shadow" during Xier's childhood. After Xier's kidnapping, Xier absorbed her negative emotions and fully awakened. This awakened inner personality occasionally appears. To distinguish the two, outsiders often refer to them as White Xier and Black Xier.

For a long time, Seele was trapped alone in the confined space of the Quantum Ocean. There were no stars, no light, not even herself, but Seele still believed that Bronya would lead her away. She closed her eyes, trying to sense any sign, any clue, hoping to find a way out.

However, many years passed, and Seele still hadn't waited for Bronya. Sometimes, Seele herself was on the verge of despair. She felt as if she had been ruthlessly forgotten by time, trapped in this dark void, unable to escape this eternal loneliness.

In this endless darkness, Seele began to imagine Bronya's voice and smile, her heart filled with longing and yearning for her. Whenever Seele's mind fell into the abyss, she would recall the scene of them riding on a motorcycle, feeling the excitement and freedom of that moment. These memories became Seele's only hope and comfort.

But these are obviously useless.

Xi'er's body remained trapped in the darkness of the quantum sea. She felt the chill of the air and the boundless loneliness. She waved her hands, trying to touch any physical existence, but only touched nothingness. Her voice echoed in the darkness, but no one responded.

"Why, such a coward, why don't you just disappear?" A cold voice rang out in Seele's ears, a mocking taunt from the darkness. Seele's heart trembled, unable to endure the pain. She wanted to escape this lifeless place and return to Bronya.

"It's obvious no one will come to save you, why don't you give up?" Another voice appeared, bringing Xier's pain to a climax. Her tears flowed down, filled with endless despair and helplessness.

"No, that's not the case!" Xier wanted to deny it, but in the end she was unable to make any rebuttal.

At this moment, Xier seemed to feel someone touching her gently, and a ray of light appeared in front of her.

Chapter 712: Xier's Will

"No, that's not the case!" Xier wanted to deny it, but in the end, she couldn't make any rebuttal. Her heart was filled with despair and pain, as if it was swallowed by the dark void.

At this moment, Xier seemed to feel someone gently touch her, and her body stopped shaking instantly. She looked up and found a faint light in front of her. This faint light was looming in the darkness, like a star dotted in the endless night sky.

"Seele, are you just giving up? Don't you still want to meet Bronya?" A familiar voice suddenly reached Seele's ears, sending a jolt through her heart. She turned around and saw Adam had appeared behind her.

"Captain, why are you here?" Xier was particularly surprised by Adam's appearance. She had never thought that Adam would appear at this critical moment, as if it was fate.

However, Adam did not answer Xier's question, but immediately said to Xier: "If you give up now, you will never have the chance to leave here. Isn't there someone waiting for you outside?" There was a hint of determination and encouragement in his voice.

As Adam finished speaking, Bronya's phantom appeared before Seele. In the image, Bronya was constantly searching for Seele, believing that one day she would be able to rescue her. With every moment of searching, Bronya's eyes were filled with persistence and determination.

"Sister Bronya..." Seele felt a pang of pain in her heart as she watched Bronya tirelessly searching for clues day and night. She realized that she was working not only for her own survival, but also for the person who had been watching over her.

"What? Do you want to give up now?" Adam asked again at this time, his voice revealing a firmness and courage, as if awakening the courage deep in Xier's heart.

Seele gazed into Adam's eyes, those eyes, filled with wisdom and warmth, gave her strength. She resolved that no matter how difficult the situation, she would not give up easily. Bronya's persistence, Adam's encouragement, all made her realize that she had to keep fighting.

"What should I do?" Seele turned to Adam, her voice filled with hope and determination. She knew that only by moving forward could she reunite with Bronya and find a way out of this dark world.

"It's simple. You just need to admit it to yourself." Adam's voice echoed in the darkness, full of mystery and power. Xi'er looked at him in confusion, a glint of doubt in her eyes.

"Admit yourself?" Xier asked.

Adam smiled slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes. He continued, "Both you and the dark Xier outside are actually indispensable to Xier. Your gentleness and kindness complement her courage and strength, and neither is indispensable. Only when you shed your cowardice and bravely face the darkness within yourself can you gain true strength."

Xi'er silently pondered Adam's words. She began to realize that the darkness within her was actually an inseparable part of herself. She had been afraid to face the darkness, afraid of her inner depths. But now, she knew she had to face it, acknowledge and accept this part.

"Okay, go talk to that guy. She's been waiting for you outside for a long time." Adam waved his hand, and the black sludge dissolved instantly, and Xier's body returned to its original state. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the figure of Hei Xier.

Hei Xier looked at Xier who had just come out, and also looked at Adam in great surprise, her heart full of questions. Why did this guy let Xier out so quickly? She hadn't even memorized the script yet! Although she cursed Adam in her heart, Hei Xier finally went ahead with it.

Xier looked at Hei Xier in front of her and opened her mouth slightly, not knowing how to talk to her for a moment. Her mood was complicated and tangled. Hei Xier represented the darkness deep in her heart, the side that once made her fear and escape.

Hei Xier's eyes scanned the surroundings, a hint of disdain on her face. She smiled coldly at Xier, her voice full of sarcasm: "It seems that you have nothing to say. Do you think it's scary to face your own darkness?"

Xier tried hard to suppress her inner fear and anxiety, and slowly said, "Another me, I will no longer run away from you. I know that you are a part of my heart, and I can no longer reject my own darkness. We are one whole, and only by accepting you can I find true strength."

Hei Xier was stunned when she heard Xier's words. She had not expected Xier to answer like this, to face her so firmly. Her eyes flashed with disbelief, but then turned cold.

"Do you think you can accept me easily? Do you think you can control your darkness?" Hei Xier asked with a sneer.

Seele stared intently into Hei Xier's eyes, determination and perseverance gleaming in them. She took a deep breath, her voice brimming with conviction and confidence. "I don't know how difficult it will be, but I'm ready. I believe that as long as I face it bravely, as long as I stop running away, I will be able to control this power. I will definitely go see Sister Bronya."

At this moment, Xier's eyes showed unprecedented determination.

Hei Xier looked at Xier and felt relieved for some reason. She saw the determination and resolve in Xier's eyes and realized that she was not trying to avoid him but was really willing to accept him.

(This guy Xier, has she finally made up her mind?)

"If that's the case, then let me see your resolve," Hei Xier said coldly. She pulled out a sickle from behind her back, flashing with a cold light. Xier gripped the weapon tightly, her eyes filled with determination and preparation.

The two looked at each other, neither of them intending to hold back.

On the other side, Adam watched the fight between the two with cold eyes.

Now he has set the stage for the two of them, and what happens next is not something he can participate in.

Whether Xier would defeat Hei Xier and master the power of his stigma, or would completely fall into depravity and be replaced by Hei Xier, that was no longer something he could arrange.

But Adam believed that Xi'er would not lose this battle. He believed that Xi'er could defeat him.

Chapter 713: Twins on the Other Shore

The battle between Hei Xier and Xier intensified, a tense atmosphere filling the air. Their sickles clashed, emitting a series of sharp metallic friction sounds. Hei Xier's attacks were like a torrential downpour, unstoppable, while Xier, under such intense pressure, seemed to be fatigued.

Hei Xier, the girl who possessed the power of the stigmata, possessed extraordinary strength, like an insurmountable mountain. Each of her attacks carried boundless might, far surpassing Xier in both strength and speed. Hei Xier seemed infused with the power of the dark night, a black aura swirling around her, emanating a strange and powerful energy.

Xi'er, faced with Hei Xi'er's dominance, never flinched. Although she was constantly being forced to retreat by Hei Xi'er, her eyes always gleamed with an unyielding light. The sweat dripping from her face was mixed with a determined look, and her eyes revealed a firm determination.

Black Xier's attacks were like a violent storm, constantly assaulting her, leaving her with barely a breath. The black tentacles sometimes slyly attacked Xier like venomous snakes, sometimes biting her fiercely like wolf fangs. The tentacles carried Black Xier's sinister power, instilling fear in her.

However, Xi'er didn't give up. Although she was losing ground, there was no trace of fear or despair in her eyes. She gripped the sickle tightly, her muscles tensed, as if telling herself that as long as she didn't give up, there was still hope.

Hei Xier's attack became more ferocious, and she launched wave after wave of attacks at Xier without mercy. Xier dodged and fought back, her body was covered with wounds, and blood left horrible marks on her body.

However, a glimmer of hope always flickered in Xier's eyes. She knew that as long as she had a glimmer of strength, she could not give up. She firmly believed that she would be able to defeat Hei Xier and break the shackles of darkness.

The battle continued in the dark night sky. Hei Xier's power grew stronger, while Xier's became more tenacious. Their figures intertwined, like a fierce scene. Hei Xier's power was like a violent storm, while Xier's perseverance was like a faint ray of sunlight.

Looking at Xi'er's determined eyes, Hei Xi'er couldn't help but feel anxious. She had originally thought that her strength could easily crush Xi'er, but she hadn't expected that Xi'er would actually adapt to her strength and consciously absorb it, transforming it into her own. Hei Xi'er began to feel her advantage gradually weakening, while Xi'er's strength continued to grow.

The battle situation gradually changed, from being one-sided at the beginning to a 40-60 split. Hei Xier's attacks were no longer as ferocious as before, while Xier's counterattacks became more sharp. Hei Xier began to feel a sense of unease, realizing that if she continued like this, she would be defeated by Xier sooner or later.

A strong sense of anxiety surged in Hei Xier's heart, and she couldn't help but speed up her attacks. Her figure flashed in the air like a ghost, quickly rushing towards Xier. But Xier always managed to dodge her attacks in time, even counterattacking in the gaps between dodging.
