Chapter 190 Recapture
"Chen Xiao'er—how could you do this to me?!"
Sinaya's eyes were bloodshot. She stretched out her hand into the void, and a flood of energy emanated, extending in all directions. It gathered into a spiral, and along with the surrounding golden spirals, it poured towards a single point, as if in worship.
That is the very center of the ceremony, the end point where the god is about to be born or fall.
It is like an overly heavy iron ball hitting the woven web, crushing all the longitude and latitude lines between heaven and earth, shaping a funnel-like bottom, and allowing all forces to automatically converge.
The train running on the track penetrates the storm and moves towards the destination by inertia.
"Hiss..." The storm tore Xinnaya's face. She licked the liquid at the corner of her mouth and finally calmed down a little.
Scarlet lines swayed across his chest, entangled with the hatred in the void.
Putting my own people aside, Lan and the apostles harbor murderous intentions towards me. They're all going to find Chen Xiao'er, and if I rashly follow them, I'll be in grave danger.
Usurpation is a devil's ability and instinct, and power is a transcendental entity countless times higher than the energy stone. The points where the light flows are more attractive than any magnet, capable of evoking the deepest greed and desire.
【Come on, come on, why go against your heart! 】
However, reason and emotion are contrary to instinct at this moment, and the devil actually develops reason and emotion.
Xinaya covered her chest with her hands, trembling, feeling the emotions rising in her core.
Resetting to zero gave it a human heart, Chen Xiao'e forced her to understand human thinking, and the ritual that gave birth to virtual and real power allowed her to experience the life of a human firsthand.
What kind of life can be called human?
I have no idea.
When I stand next to you, I can probably be called a "human being", Chen Xiao'er.
Sinaya closed her eyes, closed the eyes of her heart, and the scarlet lines faded away one by one, completely disappearing in her sea of perception.
You don't care about me and I don't care about them.
Even if I have the power to hunt for a short time, it means nothing if I can't hunt you.
Maybe I am falling, and I am falling because of you, Chen Xiao'e. But it doesn't matter. The abyss is still the abyss, and I will let you fall with me.
She opened her eyes and looked at the heaviest point again, then moved her sight to take in all the surrounding scenery.
The knights of the Radiant Church were marching towards the center of the distorted land. However, their speed was too slow. They couldn't even stop Chen Xiao'er from being crowned, let alone competing for power.
unless……
Sinaya shuddered inexplicably, thinking of the red line that connected her to the depths of the abyss: Unless the Glory of the Church of Glory takes the initiative. Was all this part of His plan? That's why He wanted to get rid of me, a hindrance.
"Tsk." She gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction, a secret desire deep in her heart. She hoped that Chen Xiao'er would not succeed, that she would not become a god.
Was it fear? Perhaps. Fear that her enemy was too powerful, too powerful for her to defeat. But more of a fear that she didn't want you to leave now.
I want to soar to the highest position with you. Only you and I are different from other lives. That's the right way.
Xinnaya was not afraid that Chen Xiao'e would deal with her immediately after becoming a god, because... she endured the pain in her heart and walked towards the direction away from the finish line.
Because you don't care about me.
I hate you, Chen Xiao'er.
I hate you even more, Chen Xiao'er.
At the moment when everyone was running towards Chen Xiao'er and towards Quan Neng, Xinnaya went in the opposite direction.
Walking against the flow of energy was strenuous, the punishment of going against her instincts cracked her core, and the feelings of being so far away from her heart were more severe than any whipping, but she had no choice.
In order to survive, in order to meet Chen Xiao'er again in the distant or short future.
......
Chen Xiao'er ran wildly along the corridor with a splitting headache.
The corridor was filled with thick black smoke, which made people's lungs and hearts ache. They couldn't even breathe enough oxygen in their nasal cavity and were almost suffocating.
"Cough, cough, vomit."
She dry heaved twice, the water stains at the corners of her mouth evaporated in the high temperature, and the ends of her hair made a crackling sound of burning.
The delicate skin on her face and the exposed arms were stirred by the scorching air, causing a burning pain.
But Chen Xiao'er did not slow down. No matter how many times she fell in the dark, she immediately got up and ran to the master bedroom according to her memory.
I must rescue Xiaotong and her mother.
This will was so strong that the remaining dreams dissipated like bubbles, never to be seen again.
Boom!
Her head banged against the door, but a hint of joy appeared on her face: "Great, this is it." The master bedroom is the only one on the first floor with such a large door.
"Mom! Mom!"
Chen Xiao'er raised her hand and banged on the door. The door panel was scorching hot, and it felt like there was a fire inside?!
Zero followed, banging against the door, and said over his shoulder, "There's no fire extinguisher in the hallway, and the faucet won't work."
She just ran to the bathroom in Chen Xiao'er's subconscious, but the energy surging around her was too violent.
The embryonic form of power is rising, and even returning to zero cannot achieve what you want.
Maybe it was back to zero, or maybe Chen Xiao'er's subconscious also felt that this place should be burned to ashes.
"Damn it! It has to be at this time... What on earth do they want?" Chen Xiao'er pounded on the door panel so hard that a series of blisters appeared on her palms.
Uncle Liang and the servants in his house couldn't have failed to prepare a fire extinguisher. This was premeditated murder!
Even without Xu She's warning, she knew that there was only "one person" as the suspect, or rather, only the group of jackals from the Chen family!
Are you so impatient for money?!
Mom only has one or two years to live, and you want to burn her alive... No, maybe it's not just Mom.
Chen Xiao'er used her hand to pry the iron-like door handle hard: They wanted to use this accident to get rid of her and Xiaotong together, so they waited until she entered the door before taking action -
The overwhelming regret made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
If I hadn't been so stupid and hadn't been tricked into going home by Xu She or anyone else's scheme, the Chen family would have been afraid to take action because there was a "rat" hiding in the university.
I went home of course, what a fool I am!
"Xiao'er, please get out of the way first!"
Chen Xiao'er didn't respond, instead banging on the door like a madman. Ling grabbed her arm and yanked it hard, then kicked the door shut.
clang.
A loud noise rang out.
But the door was so large and heavy that it only trembled slightly.
The huge door was difficult to shake in Chen Xiao'er's "eyes", but if one focused on its essence, the embryonic form of power that was constantly rising was not something that could be shaken at all.
"Ah, ah ah..." Chen Xiao'er rushed over with a hoarse voice: "Mom! Mom!"
The next second, a unclear response finally came from inside the door.
"Xiao Ai, please run away. I can't be saved."
"Xiao Ai, the ritual has failed. Go outside to absorb the energy."
"Mom, are you in there?! I'll be right there!" The door kept knocking.
Chen Yunshu sighed softly, "Baby, the Chen family and I are both decaying creatures. You still have a bright future ahead of you. Don't die here with me."
The simultaneous birth of creation and destruction, the power of both reality and illusion, proved too difficult. The ritual failed to complete its cycle and was instead broken. From that point on, it was impossible to create a perfect deity that blended both. Instead, Chen Xiao'er retained the zeroing out associated with creation.
All her plans for her daughter came to nothing, but as a mother, she still hoped that her daughter could grow up smoothly, even if no one would pave a smooth path for her in the future.
This is also part of growing up.
Chen Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I can't grow up with you anymore."
Xiaotong will sink into the abyss with me and become part of the star's core. And you, my precious daughter, will embark on a road full of thorns but still full of hope.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
Chen Xiao'er continued to kick the door, picked up a chair from the next door and slammed the door lock with it, not caring even though the temperature of the flames was getting higher and higher.
My mom is just across the door, I will never give up!
As she and Ling were in a state of anxiety, a pale light suddenly flashed across the two of them and hit the door lock hard.
clang--
An axe struck the door from the lock to the door panel, creating a large crack.
Chen Xiao'er suddenly turned around, and the man holding the axe nodded at her, swung the axe and chopped down hard.
Crackling.
This time it hit the gap with full force, knocking off a large piece of burr fragments.
Lan bit her tongue and swung her arms for the third time: "Love, get out of the way."
Ling quickly grabbed Xiao'e, and the reflection of the axe and flames appeared in their eyes. It broke the door panel like thunder and split it in half.
Chen Xiao'er couldn't wait to push away her senior sister's arms and rushed into the smoke-filled bedroom, stepping on the debris on the ground.
The heat wave came in waves, even the hair was burning.
But she didn't care and rushed to the bed stubbornly - snap, a large roll of curtain broke and fell under the weight, raising a burst of fire.
Chen Yunshu was lying in the center of the burning bed, her body already covered in flickering flames.
"Mother--"
Chen Xiao'er screamed miserably. She stretched out her hand and then dropped it weakly: if it was just a burn, it might still be saved, but a sharp fruit knife was stuck in Chen Yunshu's left chest, leaving a large bloodstain.
It turned out that those people killed people first and then set fire to the house, not giving my mother any chance to escape...
"Who did it?" Chen Xiao'er bit her lip, blood dripping down her cheeks. "Who hurt you?"
Chen Yunshu's voice was as gentle as usual: "I don't have much time left anyway, it's okay, cough cough cough."
With blood streaking from the corners of her mouth, she smiled and said, "Don't take Xiaotong with you. Let her stay with me. This child is too disabled, so all the property will be left to you. Don't be silly and leave it all to the school or unrelated people. Everyone has their own lives to live."
"Don't take Xiaotong with you. Let her stay with me. After all, if the ritual fails, her next rebirth will be even more incomplete. It's better to transfer all my power to you. Silly child, don't leave everything to the church. They have their own gods."
Her mother's voice was weak. Chen Xiao'er fell to the side of the bed, feeling that she could neither breathe nor think.
But when she heard the name "Xiaotong", her eyes suddenly lit up and she struggled to refute: "Yes, there is Xiaotong, I must rescue Xiaotong!"
And what is Mom talking about? Xiaotong's only disability is in her legs. She's just weak, but she'll be able to go to school and live a good life.
The illusion merges into reality through the girl's prayer, along with memories and destiny.
Cause and effect are rewritten.
Sizzle, sizzle.
At the end of the ceremony, Chen Xiao'er had already made her final choice. She refused to accept the power of the Devouring Snake and wanted to take Xiaotong away, her precious sister.
Countless spirals twisted, merged, and intertwined into tiny snakes of light.
The embryonic form of power split and degraded, pouring down onto the new limbs: it was a cute girl about 9 years old, with a slender figure and pure black hair flowing on the floor.
She opened her eyes, her pupils shining like gold.
Chen Xiao'er groped her way to her feet and staggered towards the passage next to the bedroom.
Knock knock.
A cat-like sound came from the nursery, and then the door opened.
"Sister." The younger sister leaned against the cradle and stretched out her little hand to the person she trusted most in the world.
"Xiaotong!" Chen Xiao'er ignored the small and closed cradle and hugged her sister's petite body, but she couldn't move it.
Yes, Xiaotong is a big kid now.
She sobbed and said, "Let's go, get out of here quickly!"
"Okay." There was no trace of gloom in Xiaotong's eyes. She even smiled, as innocent and pure as a newborn lamb.
Crash!
The flames burned into the room along the corridor. Ling closed the door in time. Sister Lan lifted the cradle and smashed it hard against the window, shattering the glass all over the floor.
Boom, boom, boom.
The sound of propellers was heard outside the flames. Chen Xiao'er dragged her sister to the window sill and saw a helicopter taking off not far away.
The Chen family - is a killer on the run!
She stepped onto the windowsill and screamed towards the sky: "I will definitely kill you!!!"
