Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 839: Chapter 392: Second Demon General

‘Is she the… Fear Empress?’

‘Yes, also known as the Loathing Empress of another era.’

‘In the future of both timelines, she has become a supreme existence.’

‘But she also rules the world with cruelty and dictatorship. Whether it’s Giant City or the Forbidden Zone, they all must bow to her…’

‘Resisters, whether they are humans or from the Forbidden Zone, will be brutally slaughtered.’

‘The Scale Remains Civilization was once her vassal.’

‘The Yunling Alliance was established to counter her.’

‘Strong and cruel, huh? It’s hard to tell…’

‘Will she still become such an existence now?’

‘We have to plan ahead…’

Clearly, future intelligence analysis is the highest secret of Giant City. Less than ten people in the entire city are privy to this information.

It’s simply impossible for the outside world to easily know, let alone discuss it in any public setting.

But the Doll sometimes overhears these voices and discussions.

She doesn’t know if her colleagues are really discussing her or if it’s a dangerous consciousness in her mind at play.

But either way, it makes her somewhat weary.

Knowing that another consciousness will gradually take over her body and ultimately completely replace her.

This feeling of fear brings extreme unease.

She fears she will be silently replaced, and that person will live under her skin, receiving her partner, friends, identity, and everything.

If they were enemies, the Doll would eliminate them without hesitation. In front of Li Ye Lai, she is a coy young girl. Yet, before enemies, she is indeed like the Fear Empress.

During this war, aside from sinking a Giant Ship led by Li Ye Lai, indirectly causing thousands of deaths.

She had the most kills; even Green Flame Divine Choice Yun Yue was inferior.

But that dangerous presence within her consciousness leaves her strong and powerless.

All she can do is passively wait…

Which also leads to poor sleep quality. Her subconscious fears what her sleeping self might do or suddenly awaken from the visions seen during the Causality Strike.

During the Causality Strike, she saw her future self from the Yunling Civilization.

A terrifying moon high above the heavens, overlooking all beings.

As her human compatriots suffer tribulations, she remains indifferent, maintaining the order she established.

She once exiled or killed humans who resisted her order, and fought against powerful humans.

Until… a young man holding a long spear, bearing the curse of Fear, cut off a strand of hair…

As one of the few ‘acquaintances,’ she forgave his offense, but he… still died during a siege.

….

After waking again, the Doll moved her weary, soft body next to Li Ye Lai.

Li Ye Lai reached out and wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead, gently caressing her smooth back, silently comforting her.

Li Ye Lai was also worried; occasionally, Li Ye Lai would feel a strange aura on the Doll…

Presently, the authorities are salvaging the legacy of the Immortal Palace, and coordinating the Taboo Items from various Black Prisons in Giant City, all trying to find a solution for the Doll, hoping to resolve the issue quickly…

If that doesn’t work, then they’d look for an opportunity to visit the Main Base of the Eternal Life Sect.

Perhaps in their Treasure Vault, there exists something that can suppress this consciousness.

“Don’t worry, didn’t the Immortal leave the Jade Pendant as a countermeasure?” Li Ye Lai comforted, “As long as the Jade Pendant is here, she can’t cause much trouble. Moreover, we will find the best solution. Now, you should rest well, you’ve developed dark circles these days.”

The Immortal’s left Jade Pendant indeed can mitigate the revival of that consciousness.

But knowing is one matter, worrying is another.

“Hmm…” the Doll softly responded, “But now, I really can’t sleep… ”

“Watch some TV?” Li Ye Lai asked, “Or eat something? There are dumplings and noodles in the fridge.”

Under the covers, the girl propped her arms close to Li Ye Lai, as the thin blanket subtly opened, revealing her fabulous body undisguised before Li Ye Lai’s eyes…

“Or… do something that expends energy.” The girl whispered red-faced into Li Ye Lai’s ear, her hair hanging and tickling Li Ye Lai’s heartstrings.

Li Ye Lai hesitated due to the trouble caused by Rainbow Through the Sun’s Blessing…

So, these days, Li Ye Lai dared not to make any moves.

But the girl leaned down, her cherry lips falling.

The room was filled with the intermingling low moans…

…

The next day, when Li Ye Lai woke, the Doll was still sleeping soundly.

Last night’s absurdness left her extremely weary… she rarely rested for so long without being startled awake.

Li Ye Lai quietly slipped out of the bed, departing the bedroom without disturbing the Doll’s rest.

She could sleep soundly; it’s best if she sleeps a bit more.

Incidentally, today required a trip to the Hong Family for an experiment.

According to the Amber King, three mysterious causality forces once emerged from within the Immortal Palace.

Those were the three times Li Ye Lai used the Divine Demon Stele within the palace.

Ye Han was a beast, the culprit responsible for awakening the monster deep within one of the Doll’s consciousness.

Li Ye Lai wished he could be resurrected and killed several more times, then finally plaster him alive to a wall!

Yet, the Divine Demon Stele brought by Ye Han was indeed a powerful mystical object.

Li Ye Lai once reversed the Divine Demon Stele three times within the Immortal Palace.

The first reversal directly destroyed an anchor point, reducing human enemies by a third.

The second reversal was while facing the Ghost Immortal, forcefully breaking through that copper mirror.

The third reversal was when finally facing the Causality Strike… the terrifying power countered the strike, eliminating a large number of enemy elites for humans.
