Chapter 1741: Next, I’ll Have to Trouble You
Meng Chao was faced with a difficult choice.
The wild banshee had accurately hit his vital spot.
Yes. Right now, he could easily cut the wild banshee into pieces and burn her into ashes. Then, he would raise a hurricane and blow the last bit of ashes thousands of miles away.
However, he had no way to expel the power of the monster mastermind from Lu Siya’s body.
!!
Eliminating the wild banshee was equivalent to killing Lu Siya, and that was something Meng Chao could bring not himself to do no matter what.
The relationship between him and Lu Siya was complicated and difficult to explain to outsiders. Even he could not explain it clearly.
Lu Siya was one of the core executives and major shareholders of her own Superstar Company. She also had a place in the Azure Alliance, which represented ordinary citizens and superhumans from humble families.
The monster mastermind had started to eat her from the inside more than a year ago. Once this was made public, it would cause a great uproar.
Even if Meng Chao wanted to kill her, how could he prove to the world that Lu Siya had indeed been struggling to resist the erosion of the monster’s power over the past year but maintained her human pride and will? She never did anything that harmed the interests of Dragon city’s civilization, and she did not create more ‘underlings’ within Superstar Company and the Azure Alliance.
Furthermore, if Meng Chao really burned Lu Siya to ashes, would he be suspected of killing her and destroying her corpse?
By then, Lu Siya would no longer be a wild banshee. Whether she had transformed into a wild banshee or whether she had any accomplices would be unclear.
As a result, the already complicated situation would become even more complicated. It was unknown whether or not Yun Feidian and the Blood Alliance could be uprooted from the nine mega corporations!
When she saw Meng Chao’s hesitation, the wild banshee’s smile was filled with undisguisable mockery.
However, in the next moment, her smile froze due to the warmth she felt internally.
“What are you doing?
“You’re crazy!” the wild banshee screamed.
She was not saying this to Meng Chao.
It was directed at Lu Siya who was burning in the depths of her body!
“Sister Ya!”
Even Meng Chao was stunned.
He could clearly feel her body’s temperature rising.
Almost every second… No, every half a second, the body in front of him would heat up by three to four degrees.
Her skin quickly turned red from the heat.
Wisps of steam rose from his pores, and it was as if lava was flowing under his skin instead of blood.
Meng Chao could even hear the sounds of her blood vessels and spirit meridians bursting, shriveling, and withering.
The flames from the depths of her cells would soon engulf her entire body.
“Self-combustion!”
Meng Chao could not believe it.
The evaporation of body fluids and even the self-combustion were common side effects of overusing Deification Capsules.
The monster cells that Yun Feidian had just injected into Lu Siya were the upgraded version of the Deification Capsule.
However, Lu Siya’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Heaven Realm.
With the monster mastermind, she had broken through to the Deity Realm steadily. How could she not control her own vitality magnetic field and genes, causing her body to evaporate or even burn on its own?
Unless…
Meng Chao’s eyes widened as he looked at Lu Siya, whose expression had returned to calmness. Her eyes, however, were filled with determination.
“Sister Ya, don’t!”
He hugged Lu Siya, but he felt like he was holding onto a raging torch, a lump of steel that was being smelted, and a statue condensed from magma.
Lu Siya, who had regained control over her body, put her burning face on Meng Chao’s shoulder and smiled as if she had been relieved of a heavy burden.
“Meng Chao, you know that this is the only way.”
Lu Siya used all her strength to open her eyes, which were burning with flames. She stared at Meng Chao, who was right next to her, and stuttered, “Ever since I realized that the monster mastermind’s power invaded my body and even manipulated this body to harm you, as well as many other people, I’ve wanted to destroy this body completely more than once and die with the monster mastermind.
“But… cough, cough, the monster mastermind is too powerful. Every time I think about burning everything down with me, it interferes with my brain and stops my actions.
“Besides, I’m in a sensitive position due to my ident.i.ty. I’m not only related to the nine mega corporations but also to the Azure Alliance, Superstar Company, Broken Star Club, your family, and your career.
“I’m very worried… Cough, cough… Even if I do find a way to end my life, I won’t be able to completely destroy my body. There will still be things like the spores of the Blood Flower or monster cells left deep inside my body, which will be discovered by those with ill intentions and turned into tools for them to stir trouble.
“I’m not afraid of death.
“However, I was afraid that my death would trigger a larger storm and cause Dragon City to walk toward a treacherous whirlpool.
“So… cough, cough… I chose to seal the monster’s power temporarily to barely maintain the situation of Broken Star Club, Superstar Company, and the Azure Alliance.
“Today, the best opportunity has finally appeared.
“Yun Feidian, that crazy idiot… He thought that by injecting a large number of monster cells into my body, he could slander me as the Tenth Supernatural Ent.i.ty, a monster remnant.
“He gave me a perfect reason to explain the existence of the monster’s power in my body.
“The heavens have been so kind to me and Dragon City. At this moment, when Dragon City’s fate will be decided, they have sent me the person I need the most.
“Meng Chao, what I’m going to say next is very important. You must listen to me clearly and do as I say.
“Your attack earlier has already severely weakened the monster energy in my body, allowing me to temporarily regain 90% of control over this body.
“Next, I will overdraw my life and burn my divine soul. I will drag the last bit of monster power in my body into the abyss of eternal destruction.
“After that, my corpse will be the best evidence.
“It’s enough to prove that Yun Feidian is capable of such crazy and terrifying things for his own selfish desires.
“This evidence can help you uproot Yun Feidian and the evil organization he’s hiding in the nine mega corporations. You can take the opportunity to suppress the power of the nine mega corporations and successfully complete the transformation of Dragon City’s civilization.
“It will also prove that my transformation into a monster has nothing to do with Superstar Company and the Azure Alliance.
“And you, by stopping Yun Feidian’s scheme, will be able to turn the tide and become a superhero admired by all. You will naturally stand at the top of Dragon City and create the bright and beautiful future that you have described to me countless times.
“I’m so tired. I’ve been fighting alone for the past year.
“Fortunately, I was able to witness your return at the last moment.
“With that, I’ll leave everything else to you, Meng Chao…”
