In the air, the burning fire dragon and the icy mermaid fought each other in a stalemate. With each collision between the two sides, scorching hot steam spread in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, the entire ruins and its surroundings were completely shrouded in thick white fog.

“Ooooo… Damn it!”

Looking at the confusing fog in front of him, the Fourth True Ancestor also showed an annoyed expression. However, almost at the same time, a white light flashed, and then Ai Li appeared behind the Fourth True Ancestor and pounced on her.

"Do you think I haven't noticed your tricks?!"

At the same time, accompanied by the roar of the Fourth True Ancestor, the black wings condensed by magic behind her suddenly turned around and turned into a sharp blade to stab towards Ai Li. At the same time, Ai Li also raised the magic wand in her hand again.

"Everyone is petrified!"

After all, vampires' resistance to magic is stronger than that of humans. If it were an ordinary human, this spell would be enough to completely immobilize them. However, facing the Fourth True Ancestor, this spell only lasted for a few seconds before it ended.

However, for Ellie, these few seconds were enough.

“Puff!”

The black wings pierced through Ai Li's lower abdomen, stringing her up. At the same time, Ai Li's hands tightly grasped the shoulders of the Fourth True Ancestor, and then she seemed to have lost her strength and leaned on the Fourth True Ancestor's back.

"Foolish human, even if you get close to me, how can you kill me?"

The Fourth True Ancestor sneered, turned his head and looked at Ai Li and asked. That's right, this is why the Fourth True Ancestor is not afraid of Ai Li even without the protection of the beast. As the Fourth True Ancestor, her vitality is far beyond the old vampire nobles like Liana. Even if Ai Li came to her, there is no way to kill her without a powerful weapon...

However, at this moment, the Fourth True Ancestor saw Ai Li open her mouth, revealing her sharp canine teeth.

At this moment, the Fourth True Ancestor felt that all the blood in his body had frozen.

"You are... a vampire?"

"Yes, thanks to the rules of this world, it's rare to be able to stay hidden for so long, isn't it?"

At this moment, Ai Li also showed a ferocious smile. Fang Zheng gave her the vampire and werewolf characteristics from the Underworld world that he obtained from Red Ponytail, so of course she has the characteristics of a vampire. However, because the setting of this world is that vampires do not actually need to suck blood to survive, they can survive by relying on food, and there is also the werewolf characteristic to resist, so people did not notice Ai Li's vampire characteristics.

After all, generally speaking, the body will stop growing after a vampire awakens, and because Ellie has werewolf traits that offset some of her vampire traits, the most she shows is slow development - of course, this aspect varies from person to person.

"Although I've known for a long time that I'd have to suck blood sooner or later, I never thought I'd have the chance to eat foreign food. So... I'll start!"

"Eating one's own kind! You actually...!!!"

However, before the Fourth True Ancestor could finish her words, Ai Li had already lowered her head and bit her neck.

The next moment, the Fourth True Ancestor's body trembled, and he collapsed backwards.

Then she slowly closed her eyes.

“It’s not over yet…!”

This was not the fourth true ancestor's unwilling last words like the boss, on the contrary, as she said, this was just the beginning.

Cannibalism - also known as overwriting, generally refers to the way vampires absorb the blood of their own kind and take away their bloodline and abilities. Of course, this kind of cannibalism is not completely risk-free, because it means absorbing the other party's existence into one's own body and then digesting it. Once the ability is insufficient, it will be covered by the other party in turn.

In this regard, the Fourth True Ancestor believed that he would never lose to the opponent.

This is not just blind confidence, but has sufficient basis.

Intrinsic accumulation time.

Memories, experiences, growth, changes - the accumulation of all these brings about a qualitative improvement in power. The reason why the True Ancestors can become an unrivaled existence in this world is precisely because of their accumulation of time. In simple terms, the longer they exist and the more events they have experienced, the stronger their power will be.

In the eyes of the Fourth True Ancestor, even if the little girl behind him was a vampire, she was just a new species. But she was the Fourth True Ancestor! A vampire that appeared in ancient times and transcended time! The inherent time accumulated in her body was simply not comparable to that of this little girl!

With full confidence, the Fourth True Ancestor opened his eyes—and then froze.

What's this?

She looked at the scene in disbelief. It was an ocean of time. From the beginning to the end of everything, the power of time that spanned all humans, lives, and civilizations turned into the Milky Way covering the starry sky. In front of this ocean of time, the inherent time possessed by the Fourth True Ancestor was as small as a grain of sand.

"Impossible! Why! Why would this happen! Who are you?!"

At this moment, the Fourth True Ancestor felt fear for the first time.

It was the fear of seeing something that one could not understand.

The inherent accumulated time of the girl in front of him was too extraordinary. The time boundary in her body even surpassed the entire human history and reached the other side that even the fourth true ancestor could not understand, the end of everything. Such a vast sea of ​​time was simply not something that ordinary people could possess. Even vampires could not possess such an existence! !

However, at this moment, the Fourth True Ancestor heard a voice.

It was not the girl's voice from before, but a deep, inhuman voice.

"Ah, I didn't expect you to see this. It turns out there is such a setting in this world. Thank you. I accept it."

The next moment, the sea of ​​time suddenly began to tremble, and a wave roared in. The Fourth True Ancestor didn't even have time to scream before he completely disappeared in the waves of time, like a grain of sand swept away by the waves, disappearing silently without any trace.

Ai Li slowly opened her eyes. In her arms, the body of the Fourth True Ancestor turned into snowflakes and drifted away with the wind.

"This child is so miserable."

Looking at the completely decomposed Fourth True Ancestor, Ai Li couldn't help but shook her head. At this moment, the wounds on her body had also completely healed, at least on the surface, there seemed to be no problem.

Ai Li does not have her own personality. To put it bluntly, she is still a "game character" controlled by Fang Zheng's consciousness. In essence, it is no different from creating a protagonist in a single-player game or a character in an online game. The Fourth True Ancestor's actions are equivalent to her giving up fighting the character in the game and instead crawling along the network cable to cause trouble for the original...

Why are you so pessimistic?

The beast had disappeared, and Airi also retracted her Expecto Guardian, slowly landing on the ground and looking around. At this moment, the entire land was still shrouded in a thick fog, and she didn't know if Nagisa and the others had escaped...

"It's quite a commotion."

At this moment, a childish but somewhat mature voice sounded. Ai Li turned around and saw a black-haired girl wearing a gorgeous Gothic dress and holding a parasol. She looked about the same age as herself and was standing there, smiling at her. Although she seemed to be just a little girl on the surface, her strange majesty and leadership charm proved that the girl in front of her was not as young as she looked.

"To be honest, when I received the report, I thought I was already late, but I never expected to see such an unimaginable scene... I didn't expect you to be able to destroy the Fourth True Ancestor... and the real one..."

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Ah, hello."

Hearing Ai Li's question, the girl nodded slightly and bowed to her.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Xiao Aili. I am Nangong Nayue. Thank you for your guidance."

"So you are the 'Gap Witch' mentioned in the rumors..."

Hearing the girl's self-introduction, Ai Li was slightly stunned. Of course, she had heard of the name of "The Gap Witch" Nangong Nayue, but she did not expect to meet her under such circumstances.

"Nice to meet you, thank you for your kindness. I'm Xiao Aili... I think you already know my name."

"In fact, I have heard of you a long time ago. After all, you are an outstanding witch... Although I want to say this, you don't seem to be just a witch, right?"

Nangong Nayue turned the umbrella in her hand and looked at Ai Li with an inquiring look. Facing her gaze, Ai Li put a finger to her mouth.

"It's a secret."

"Um?"

"A secret makes a woman a woman, so I'm sorry, I have no answer for your question."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, that's it."

Facing Nangong Nayue's inquiring and confused eyes, Ai Li's smile did not change at all. The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Nangong Nayue sighed slightly.

"Well, in that case, I won't ask any more questions."

"Thank you... Then I would like to ask how Nagisa and the others are doing?"

"Your sister is currently in good health and is receiving treatment...won't you ask about your father's condition?"

"You mean the guy who was so arrogant that he released the Fourth True Ancestor himself? He's still alive? It seems that karma in this world is really unreliable."

"It seems you really hate your father."

Hearing this, Nangong Nayue showed a somewhat surprised expression. After all, she could tell that Ai Li in front of her was not sulking or angry, but gave a very cold and calm answer.

"I have never had a good impression of weak and ignorant people. They are so arrogant that they think they can prevent even more terrible disasters through sacrifice, but what is the result? Still they want me to clean up his mess? If it is something you can't do, don't interfere casually, otherwise it will inevitably bring disaster... But I guess he won't be convinced. After all, the underworld belongs to human beings. Unless he dies one day, he will never turn back even if he hits a wall."

"Well……"

After hearing Ai Li's answer, Nangong Nayue's expression seemed a little embarrassed. After all, although Ai Li's words were sarcastic, what she said was also true.

In fact, this is another reason why Ai Li hates her cheap father, that is, he is very similar to Emiya Kiritsugu, both of whom have the fate of a eunuch but the heart of an emperor, and for the so-called "greater interests", they are willing to sacrifice some innocent people to achieve their goals.

If you have the guts, why don't you organize a cult and brainwash a bunch of cultists to help you die? Why do you have to sacrifice ordinary people? What? Brainwashing cultists is too evil? Wow, you are really a bitch and a saint...

This is a complete conflict of values ​​and there is no possibility of reconciliation.

“But it was beyond my expectation.”

Nangong Nayue didn't seem interested in reconciling other people's family relationships, so she quickly changed the subject.

"I came here on the orders of the 'Snake Man' of the War King's Domain to hunt down the remnants of the Black Death Emperor's faction, but I didn't expect you to be so strong... I have learned the whole process from the girl named Nagisa. You single-handedly stopped the 'Dead Emperor' and even defeated the Fourth True Ancestor..."

"Dead brother?"

"That's the beastman who attacked you, Nagisa, and Miss Liana."

"That's a bad nickname."

Ai Li rolled her eyes. She would never have thought that there would be someone who would give him such a nickname. "Dead Royal Brother, Dead Royal Brother". Now he was really dead. There was not even a complete body left.

"There are 23 survivors in the investigation team - including the staff on the ground, about half of them have successfully evacuated."

"That means half of the people died because of that man's stupid decision. Please ask him for compensation, or you can apply to the court for compulsory execution."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Having said that, Nangong Nayue gave a bitter smile, and then she looked at Ai Li with a serious expression.

"Well, Miss Ellie, I would like to invite you and your sister to live in the 'Demon Special Zone', Genshin Island in the Far East. I think you should understand that your current physical condition is not good and you need to recuperate, and..."

"It's also a surveillance, right? After all, I absorbed the power and soul of the Fourth True Ancestor."

At this point, Ai Li lowered her head and looked at her hands. She could feel that the power of the Fourth True Ancestor in her body had fallen into a deep sleep and could not be awakened. This meant that there must be some kind of opportunity.

"That's right... I'm glad you understand. What's your opinion?"

"I'm fine."

Ai Li did not object to Nangong Nayue's invitation. She then raised her head, looked at the black-haired girl in front of her, smiled and extended her hand.

"Well, thank you for your guidance, Xiao Nayue."

Compared to her annoying cheap father, the cute and beautiful loli is naturally more valuable.
