"Xiumin? You mean she's Xiumin?"
Hearing this, Zhang Chen felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
No wonder!
No wonder this girl looked so familiar.
Previously, Zhang Chen had thought she was Xiumin's descendant, but he never imagined she was Xiumin herself!
Someone who had maintained the same appearance for five hundred years, the Dark Queen of the ancient era?!
"Heh, so, this world isn't lacking in powerful individuals. How many uniquely talented powerhouses ultimately become weak due to the chains of emotion?"
"Aren't they the most obvious testament to this?"
"Now they can only be tools I utilize. Only someone like me, who has abandoned all emotion, is fit to become the ruler of the world!"
Wang Hai'an said with a hearty laugh.
"You seem to think you're invincible with just a few people by your side, is that it?"
Zhang Chen sneered and asked.
"Ha, isn't that the case?"
"I know you are very strong, but that is when all the cores within your body are condensed together."
"Now, the crystal cores in your body are shattered, and your abilities can't even be unleashed at a tenth of their potential."
"Now I have the Spider Queen, the Demon Controller, and the ancient Dark Queen. The three of them joining forces against you will be effortless."
Wang Hai'an said with utmost confidence.
"Alright, since you say so..."
Zhang Chen took two steps back, smiled slightly, and gently flicked his left hand.
Immediately, Xu Ruina's clouded eyes cleared up, and she looked at Zhang Chen with an indescribably complex expression.
"You've let me out again? What exactly are you trying to do?"
Xu Linna said with her hands on her hips, looking impatient.
"Nothing much, just wanted you to come out for some fresh air!"
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"Enough with the nonsense, you must need my help in another fight, right?"
"Guys like you never come around unless there's something important. I'm used to it! Tell me, which fool dared to challenge us?"
Xu Linna asked, looking around.
"Damn it, how can this be? Why isn't she obeying my command?!"
Delores's uncle, drenched in sweat, manipulated the equipment in his hands.
However, Xu Linna remained completely unfazed.
"You, a piece of trash, dare to try and control me?"
Xu Linna flashed forward, her knee slamming into his abdomen.
The latter spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying upwards. Mid-air, he began to mutate rapidly.
The muscles in his arms exploded, and sharp claws extended from his fingertips.
Boom!
Upon landing, he transformed into a giant, muscular zombie over five meters tall.
"Let me show you how strong a perfect lost soul is! Hahaha!"
The giant zombie chuckled hoarsely.
From afar, he looked like a compilation of all mutated zombies, grotesquely bloated and hideous.
"Don't tell me you just forcibly combined all the genes together and thought that made you strong!"
Xu Linna shook her head helplessly, looking at the monster before her.
It was like a high school honor student encountering an elementary schooler showing off their problem-solving approach.
"True strength is the fusion of abilities, not the fusion of appearances. Let me teach you what a perfect biological entity truly is!"
Xu Linna tied up her loose hair into a ponytail and then slowly walked forward a few steps.
Her entire body instantly vanished from its original spot.
When she reappeared, she was already behind the deformed monster.
Bang bang bang!
Then, punches and kicks rained down like a torrent.
The deformed monster's durability exceeded Xu Linna's imagination. Despite enduring such a dense barrage of attacks, it merely stumbled back a few steps, seemingly unharmed.
"Are you tickling me, little bug? Hahaha!"
"How can a body developed with your ancient technology compare to technology that has advanced for five hundred years?"
"The technology you possess and the technology I have are simply not from the same era!"
"Let me show you my strength!"
The deformed monster chuckled in a low voice for a moment, then suddenly its speed surged. It materialized behind Xu Linna.
Bang!
A massive fist slammed Xu Linna directly into the ground.
The material of the plaza floor was unknown, but it showed no cracks even after withstanding such a powerful blow.
"Although you took away one of my generals, I still have two, and that's enough to deal with you!"
Wang Hai'an said with an awkward smile.
"I suggest you count again. You might not have that many chips left!"
Zhang Chen said, pointing to Sheila beside him.
She was linking arms with an old man, looking incredibly sweet.
It was Zhang Chen of the golden ring, resurrected by Zhang Chen!
