Chapter 225: 047.I Really Want to Stay at Your House

The raging flames devoured his flesh, and the rapidly multiplying cells released violent gusts of wind.

"Ugh—!"

Every muscle in his body spasmed from being scorched, tightening, relaxing, and then tensing again, pulling himself like a rubber band to the limit before snapping back, and at the same time, every inch of his skin was ripped and twisted, turning into sparks that sprayed into the sky. The heat was like an invisible tide, constantly squeezing the flesh, steaming it dry and shriveled. Could there be any pain more severe than this?

"So being burned by fierce flames feels like this—"

Yes.

Engulfed in flames, Li Aozi charged rapidly towards the Duke seated on his throne.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!"

The Eagle Emblem mocked him, lifting its wrist as the red radio reappeared in front of it. It opened and closed its mouth wide, spewing heart-piercing words:

"Look at your body. Is there any trace of humanity left in you?"

Tap tap tap!

Li Aozi’s feet landed on the cold marble floor.

"Your thoughts are meaningless. You are just a hypocrite who kills indiscriminately without any distinction. With sins reaching the sky, you still fantasize about being cleared of them."

Li Aozi raised his hand, his fingertips engulfed by fierce flames, swirling with crimson air currents.

"Save it, you double-faced idiot. See who has killed you before—they’re coming again."

The Eagle Emblem released three Spirit Monsters that screeched as they zoomed towards Li Aozi, following familiar trajectories.

Seeing once again the Spirit Monster that had taken his life, Li Aozi’s pupils instinctively contracted, his body trembling slightly—that was the memory of death from his former life, reawakened upon facing the Spirit Monster personally.

It seems... ’Li Aozi,’ he had never forgotten the fear of being killed by a Spirit Monster.

From the moment he merged into this world, the beliefs he carried and the unfinished dreams also became his burden to bear.

The Eagle Emblem sneered:

"Past, present, future, you can’t protect anyone!"

Li Aozi opened his mouth and clenched his fingers into a fist, throwing a fierce punch at a Monster Spirit that was lunging at him.

"You think you can hit a Spiritual Body with your fist? Ahahaha, that’s fucking hilarious!"

The Eagle Emblem sat on its throne, laughing uproariously.

"—Is that so?"

Boom-----------------------------

The blazing stream of flames burst from his burning fist, instantly illuminating the inverted-triangle head of the Spirit Monster.

There was no sound of impact on physical matter, the punch with flames passed through the Spirit Monster’s body, its void existence torn apart by the heat.

Silent annihilation.

Li Aozi spread his arms wide and dashed past the remaining two Spirit Monsters. Before they could confront the flames directly, their pitch-black pupils merely reflected three different faces—within a split second, their forms melted away and disintegrated into destruction.

The remaining flames grazed past Alicxia, the ice and snow melted, and she was finally able to lift her head, her eyelashes coated with frost slowly filled with clarity as she watched Li Aozi, who was only an arm’s length away.

Gleaming, warm.

"...Sun."

"What the hell?! This is impossible!"

The Eagle Emblem exclaimed in shock:

"These are not ordinary flames. They can burn Spiritual Bodies and kill Spirit Monsters in one strike—who the hell are you?!"

"—Security Guard."

Li Aozi said, taking another step, crossing...

The Eagle Emblem could no longer keep calm. It was about to stand up, but at that moment, its Spiritual Body instantly detached from the Duke’s body, fully exposed to Li Aozi.

Duke Gamos slowly raised his eyes, swirling with a verdant glow.

"Gamos! Cang Cui! You actually conspired—"

The Eagle Emblem barked a question.

"In the end, one of the spiritual entities had to be expelled, so why couldn’t it be you?"

The Cang Cui Wolf Spirit chuckled mockingly:

"Even in weakness, a Gamma Phase Shaman is not something a mere Spirit can usurp. Get a good look at yourself, Eagle Emblem—turn around and see."

The Eagle Emblem looked back instinctively, only to see Li Aozi, like a Phoenix, with arms outstretched, crashing towards it with a tidal wave of fire.

Boom——————

The violent explosion filled the Flame King Hall with fire in an instant. The portraits of past Governors turned to ashes in the flames, and all the luxurious playthings shattered under the shock wave of the explosion. The documents, proofs, and symbols left behind by the Frost Plated colonizers also met their destruction in the blaze.

"Aozi!"

Alicxia was tossed out by the blast, crashing against the wall. Without checking her injuries, she immediately shouted towards the center of the explosion:

"Don’t! Aozi, come back—"

The stand that snagged her clothes suddenly collapsed, and Alicxia lost her balance, falling towards the ground.

Thump—

Embers floated down like snow, gently drifting.

Gravity, like a tender ocean, caught Alicxia’s body, steadily and slowly falling into an embrace that was no longer scorching hot but only warm.

"Aozi..."

"The people of the old era, certainly stubborn," he murmured.

The burns on his body swiftly healed, the charred skin peeled away to reveal Li Aozi’s pale complexion and a face filled with resignation and mockery:

"Not even married, and already a widower—would be quite the laughingstock if word got out."

The black embers danced freely, and under the cover of flames, the radio smashed hard onto the ground, charred and damaged, sparks flying before it burst open.

"Aozi..." Alicxia lifted her hand, covering her mouth.

"Oh? Elise, why are your eyes moist?"

"Just the snowflakes melting on my lashes."

"Good, I thought the finest girl of the old era was crying in front of me."

Li Aozi smirked and set Elise down on the ground:

"I know you can stand up on your own. You’re a real woman, capable of holding up half the sky."

——That’s exactly why I’m willing to become your bride.

Dodging his direct gaze, Alicxia let go of Li Aozi’s hand that she had been relying on and confidently said:

"Of course,"

Alicxia wiped the snow water from the corner of her eyes, steadied herself with the floor, and stood up again, shoulder to shoulder with Li Aozi.

They turned their heads to look at the throne engulfed in raging flames.

Whoosh——

The emerald claws tore through the flames, and in front of Duke Gamos, multiple figures stepped out of the void, forming a snail with four human arms, a faceless woman in white, a strange person wrapped with umbilical cords and a placental head, and a majestic-looking natural beast spirit.

Clap clap clap!

The Cang Cui Wolf Spirit clapped its hands and sarcastically remarked:

"You didn’t think a Gamma Phase shaman only has two resident spirit bodies, did you? Nether Wife, someone seems to underestimate you."

"Eagle Emblem, such a greedy fellow is really annoying, can’t distinguish what is more important from what is less," the faceless female ghost Nether Wife said with a sinisterly seductive voice, emitting a strong, uncomfortable scent of rouge.

"Enough." The Natural Beast Spirit snorted coldly, and purple lightning surged around it: "Gamos, your body is about to collapse, don’t forget your contract."

Duke Gamos slowly raised his head, lifting his sluggish hand to remove the breathing apparatus from his face, revealing an aged, horrifically disfigured face:

"I know, you always want my soul, I’m old, and sooner or later I will die on this planet."

He covered his face with the oxygen mask again, took a deep breath of air to fill his lungs, and his eyes gradually lit up with a ghostly blue arcane glow:

"Huff—— But for now, I am still your master."

The Cang Cui Wolf Spirit bared its teeth and with one hand on its hip said: "Then stop dallying, there’s something off about this man, they really might cause you harm."

"Cang Cui, Human Snail, Nether Wife, Fetal Ghost, Thunder Spirit."

Duke Gamos took a deep breath of pure oxygen, raising his blood oxygen saturation to ninety percent. Only then did he feel basic, he turned his head and stared at Li Aozi and Alicxia, murmuring:

"Summon."

[Call of Evil]

All five spirit bodies let out a sharp scream, their bodies infused with the Duke’s spiritual power, covered with a pitch-black exoskeleton, eyes full of panic, emitting a ghastly green magic light.

"My advice is —— stay at home," Cang Cui said mockingly, raising its sharp claws: "At least that way you won’t wet your pants in fright."

"Scare your mother, I suggest you reset your life simulation game, put in some effort, and maybe you’ll become human, anyway, it must be better than now, at the very least, you’d reincarnate as a circus clown for people’s entertainment."

Li Aozi’s aggressive language almost made Cang Cui explode with rage.

"They’re coming on strong."

Watching ahead, Li Aozi suddenly and inexplicably said to Alicxia:

"I have a lab in Triangle Town, surrounded by industrial assembly lines and chemicals, but there are two sofas inside, and the canteen has beef stew with potatoes on Sundays."

"Cool! I really want to see what it looks like there."

Neijin covered Alicxia’s arm, and she nodded slightly:

"But I’d rather stay at your place to discuss these..."

"My home? Hmm, strictly speaking, it’s in the cosmos."

He lifted his fist, and like minds, Alicxia silently lifted hers and they gently bumped fists.

"Then it’s a deal."

Li Aozi split his lips into a grin, the red-black color in his eyes expanded, facial muscles cracked and flipped, cleverly hiding the red-black crystals as they covered the edges.

Boom boom boom boom—

"What’s happening? An earthquake?!" Cang Cui almost lost his balance, nearly falling to the ground. Other Evil Spirits were also shaken and momentarily preoccupied with regaining their stance.

Duke Gamos sat on his throne and growled, "Take action now while we can!"

Cang Cui retorted sarcastically:

"You make it sound so easy!? Why don’t you try standing up yourself!"

The marble and the mudstone beneath instantly cracked and surged, like mountains rising abruptly, covering his body.

[Overseer Form activated]

[DOMINATE EVERYTHING]

Underneath the rock layers, the red-black crystal spines burst through the granite encasement, rapidly spreading and growing, the exoskeleton armor extending and enveloping his body surface. The skin cracked open fiery red fissures; as combustibles seeped out, Li Aozi’s body instantly erupted in surging flames, turning the soil wrapped in rock layers into red-hot char.

[Dominant - Purifying Flame]

Meanwhile, Neijin maximally covered Alicxia’s arms and legs with gold thorns that glittered brightly.

Next to her, Li Aozi rose to his feet with a thunderous motion, shattering the useless layers of rock, and the scorching lava transformed into an armor.

[Dominant - Earth’s Armor]

Li Aozi’s stature rapidly grew taller, soaring to 2.4 meters, with gravitational constraints allowing the pulsing fiery veins to comfortably form exquisite patterns.

[Dominant - Eternal Physique]

Neural tentacles shot out from his palm, twisting around his arm like spirit snakes, his fingertips covered with red-black crystals.

[Dominant - Life Rainbow Tube]

He drew out the Plain Slash Long Blade; his right hand immediately turned into a claw, nails retracting inwards, shaping itself to fit the sword handle. The red-black crystals followed the blade of the Plain Slash, wrapping and extending it into a specialized slender crystal tachi, while an Evil Ghost, filled with a grudge of slaughter, appeared behind him, causing the opposing Evil Spirits to glance aside.

"That evil aura is uncomfortable... How many people has he killed to satisfy that demon blade?"

[Dominant Warrior - Blade of War Ghost]

His face was no longer a sight of horror; obsidian clustered around the face armor, covering it with a layer of awe-inspiring face armor, and golden rings expanded in his eyes. Under the crystal lenses, a golden glow shone.

[Dominant - Gravitational Field]

Boom—

Li Aozi lifted his left arm, and the flames fanned out toward the ground like a peacock’s tail feathers, sweeping into a fiery skirt.

"From here on, we’ll head to space together."
