Chapter 176 The Container of Pollution

She could clearly see that a cold, viscous malevolent force was raging within Loran's spiritual core. It was a malice intent on destruction.

She increased the output of healing energy.

The immense exertion she had just experienced left her feeling somewhat powerless. Each contact with Loran's sea of ​​consciousness caused a sharp pain in her mind.

Sweat dripped from her forehead onto the floor, leaving a small, dark stain.

Just then, Loran's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

What came into view was Ning Shuyin's face, which was very close to his.

The cold lights of the monitoring room poured down from above, outlining a pale silver halo around her silhouette.

Her eyes, bathed in the healing energy of a deep green, were breathtakingly beautiful.

The bead of sweat about to slide down his forehead was like a fragile morning dewdrop hanging on the tip of a leaf.

He felt the warmth coming from his forehead and was momentarily lost in thought.

Just then, Ning Shuyin's hand left his forehead and pressed against his chest.

When Lorraine was touched near her heart, she flinched and avoided her fingertips.

This action naturally caught the attention of the other people in the room.

“Ha,” Caesar let out an undisguised sneer as he slowly approached. “What’s wrong, Dr. Loran? Your mind is more honest than your body. Should I help you remove her hand?”

Zhou Zhiheng stroked his chin: "From a cost-benefit perspective, Loran, your dignity is worth almost zero at this moment."

Lorraine's face turned ashen.

The excruciating pain in his mind left him without the confidence to refute.

Ning Shuyin ignored the heated arguments.

She could sense that the evil force in Loran's mind could not be eradicated by healing power.

"I don't have time to explain, but this is the only way!" Ning Shuyin's voice was cold and decisive.

She closed her eyes, and the dormant black crystal deep within her consciousness was awakened.

"What do you want to do!" Loran immediately sensed something was amiss.

A more primal and dark force than evil is attempting to penetrate his spiritual core.

Loran's reason erupted with its strongest resistance. His sea of ​​consciousness was no longer a pool of water, but a barrier covered with spikes, frantically resisting the invasion of that strange power.

He would rather his spiritual core shatter in the struggle than open himself up to this unknown power in the slightest.

However, the power of the law cannot be defied.

The black crystal successfully established a connection with him and began to extract the evil power from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Ning Shuyin's face paled even more.

Loran's resistance made her absorption process extremely dangerous. She was using her own soul to break through a wall full of blades.

Just as she was focused on breaking through Loran's mental barrier, a chilling killing intent suddenly erupted from behind her.

It's Klose.

Two sharp ice blades materialized from his fingertips and flew straight towards the treatment bed.

A sharp killing intent, a bone-chilling cold, rubbed against the air, creating frost.

His target was not Ning Shuyin—the underlying logic of the mental chains prevented him from harming his master.

His target was Lorraine, who was lying in bed.

The ice blade, carrying a chill powerful enough to tear space apart, aimed straight for Loran's heart.

The absorption process will be interrupted as long as Loran is killed.

In this way, the mental chains will not have a chance to achieve perfect 100% integrity.

"You dare!"

Situ Linchen, Caesar, and Zhou Zhiheng made their moves almost simultaneously.

The crimson energy blade precisely intercepted Kroos's ice blade.

A field force whip entangled Kroos's other ice blade.

Zhou Zhiheng had already taken out a high-energy binding bomb from his combat pouch. Once activated, several energy chains wrapped around Kross, blocking his path.

"Get out of the way." Kross's eyes were filled with rage, and he had to distract himself from the combined pressure of the three men.

Although the three of them did not understand the power Ning Shuyin was using, they chose to believe that she was saving people.

What was once a chaotic battlefield has now become a situation where three protect one.

While fighting against Loran's mental barrier, Ning Shuyin also clearly sensed Kloss's intentions.

He was afraid.

He feared that if the mental chains were fully intact, he would be forever enslaved, losing all hope of breaking free.

He can't kill her.

Therefore, he chose to kill Loran.

She forced a sliver of her mind to command Cross: "Cross, stop."

"Ugh!"

The white-haired man, caught in the heat of battle, froze in mid-air. He had caught the ice blade with his own hands, blood flowing freely on the ground.

The master's orders and his princely pride against being enslaved clashed most fiercely in his mind.

He let out a agonizing wail.

The deep-seated mark of obedience in his soul was fiercely burning his will.

He collapsed to his knees in anguish.

“Master… I beg you…” His golden eyes revealed a pleading look.

"Stop absorbing. You can absorb the pollution from him through me... make me a container for the pollution."

Everyone present was taken aback.

For the Alliance, if Kroos is infected with the contamination, it will undoubtedly weaken his combat power, serving as the most effective counterbalance to his strength. Loran can also perform the treatment.

This seems to be the only solution in the current stalemate that no one has any reason to oppose.

Ning Shuyin looked at him.

From her perspective, the contradiction in his eyes is clearly visible.

His final gamble.

Rather than allow the chains of the mind to absorb power and become perfect, he would rather be a contaminated vessel enduring hellish torment, preserving for himself a sliver of hope for freedom.

If she doesn't agree, he'll probably die in battle today.

"Okay," she agreed.

Klose swayed as he stood up and walked to Loran's side, but lowered his eyes.

"Master, please begin."

This time, the black crystal of the Mind Chain is no longer directly connected to Loran.

The energy from the black crystal first passed through Kross's sea of ​​consciousness.

At the same time, she diverted a portion of her healing energy and injected it into Klose's body as a guide and buffer.

Kross raised his hand, his cold fingers covering Loran's forehead.

The three-way link has been established.

"Hmm!"

The moment they made contact, the malevolent force within Loran began to surge towards Kross's body.

His face, as perfect as an ice sculpture, was contorted with excruciating pain.

He was enduring the impact of evil forces. Beneath his snow-white skin, his veins stood out, flowing with a faint black light.

But he gritted his teeth and forced the destructive energy into his body. The powerful mechanical prince, driven by loyalty and his yearning for freedom.

Loran's complexion gradually regained its color, and her breathing became steady.

Klose could no longer hold on; his body went limp, and he fell forward. Ning Shuyin reached out and caught him.

Her current strength is enough to support his weight.

Klose's body was burning hot, and the moment he touched her, he felt a gentle, affectionate rubbing against her like a small animal.
