Nalan's face turned pale, seemingly unable to understand why her opponent was unharmed after such an attack, but she still forced a sneer:

"Killing you would be the best news for me, old monster. Even if we only have one drop of blood left, humanity will never admit defeat and hand over the future of Earth to others."

"Of course, that's not all."

Su He, who had been silent all along, suddenly raised her head, her eyes sweeping across the room. She pulled open her lab coat, revealing a dense network of green electrical wires running from her neck to her chest beneath the white coat.

The skin on the chest was translucent, revealing wires connecting to the heart area, and a small piece of prototype explosive bouncing up and down against the bright red heart.

"Thump! Thump!"

Soho actually underwent body modification!

Upon seeing the explosives, Xu Milu immediately realized what the other party was about to do, and her breath caught in her throat.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Lavinia's expression was strange, as if she didn't understand what the other party was doing: "You should know that this won't kill me, but on the contrary, you will be vaporized by the high temperature, leaving not even bone fragments."

"Everyone is afraid of death, but there are some things that someone has to do."

Soho seemed to be explaining something to someone, or perhaps answering Lavinia's question:

"If I could, I would rather have died in the wilderness. Although it was not my intention, countless lives have been lost indirectly at my hands. Even if I cannot kill you, I will make you pay the price."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Although I don't know what you're afraid of, I know that the existence you've been hiding from will one day kill you."

"Fear?"

Lavinia seemed to have heard a joke, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably:

"In this world, there is nothing that can frighten the esteemed Ars—"

"That's not necessarily true."

Before he could finish speaking, a young woman with black hair and golden eyes suddenly appeared in their view, smiling and holding a large, round frying pan.

"Long time no see. While others travel around, Old Phoenix, you've been playing father to everyone. What, are you afraid one daughter isn't enough to kill you?"

Seeing the other person's sudden change in expression, as if they had seen a ghost, she patted the sparrow bone in her hand with a good mood:

"Does this look familiar? For you, I even made a special trip to Wuzhuang Temple to refine this natal magic weapon, the Wuzhuang Temple brand frying pan, which is used to chop up your own father. Aren't you touched?"

Of course I dare to make a move.

Almost instantly, a massive crater three meters in diameter appeared beneath Lavinia's feet. He used the force to propel himself forward, leaving only a trail of red flame, so fast it exploded with a sharp bang.

"boom!!"
