On the other side, the underground palace.
Yu Tong wagged her cat tail and respectfully asked the black-clad man above her:
"Master, are we really sending these first batch of cyborgs out on missions like this?"
A cold voice came, carrying a sinister undertone:
"How can I improve if I don't try? Besides, aren't they just stepping stones on my road to success? They're just a few lives."
Li Su tossed the cat off her lap and continued:
"Go check on how the second batch of trainees is going."
"Yes, Master."
With agile movements, You Tong leaped down and, with elegant cat-like steps, headed deeper into the underground palace…
...
"Ahhh!"
All the cyborgs writhed and twisted, the power of their berserk state making them excited, their veins bulging as they tried to break free from Zi You's control.
But Zi You is not so easy to deal with.
Faced with this situation, just as the cyborg was about to break free, the flower on Ziyou's head suddenly flashed, shimmering with a faint red light.
The red light began to extend outwards, gradually enveloping the tentacles.
Instantly, the tentacles of the Purple Netherworld visibly expanded to more than twice their original size.
Unlike the "berserk" state of cyborgs, its red light not only amplifies the effect but also has no side effects on Zi You, and can even weaken enemies.
This was also demonstrated in this battle.
Suddenly, the cyborgs who had broken free of their restraints seemed to have encountered their nemesis. The aura they had been emanating from their bodies began to fade, and their enlarged bodies deflated like punctured balloons, returning them to their pre-berserk state.
Looking at the scene before him, Hui Pao was unable to express his feelings.
They originally thought that the group, after going berserk, would at least have a fighting chance. Even if they couldn't defeat the opponent, they should be able to hold off the purple object for a while, and then defeat the rest one by one.
Who would have thought that even after being enhanced, the cyborgs were still helpless against Zi You.
Even Ziyou unilaterally crushed them...
He gritted his teeth angrily and glared at Zero.
Why are you glaring at me?
Zero looked at Gray Kitchen with amusement.
He had naturally seen what was happening on Zi You's side and knew why Hui Pao was angry.
He certainly never imagined that those who considered themselves powerful would turn out like this after meeting him.
He looked at the gray-clad cook and spoke to him gently, saying:
"How about we play a game?"
Zero suddenly became interested and wanted to tease Gray Kitchen.
Hui Pao was taken aback and subconsciously asked:
What game?
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had unknowingly stepped into the circle of zero again.
He was immediately enraged and shouted:
"Enough talk, let's get started."
Hui Pao's hands went limp.
At that moment, he completely gave up resisting.
Perhaps they didn't want to struggle after knowing the outcome, or perhaps they didn't want to face the scene of going back after failure.
Zero didn't make a move; he just stared at him.
"Have you considered this possible outcome?"
"Huh? What?"
Hui Pao raised his eyes and looked at Ling.
His eyes held an unfathomable darkness.
"Have you ever regretted your choice?"
choose?
He had no choice.
If he could, he would like to be a normal person.
His wife, children, and parents all died in previous battles. As one of those who were taken away, he experienced too much.
Various experiments eliminated countless people.
Round after round, like advancing through a tournament, he made it through.
He wasn't afraid of dying, but he was afraid of dying in a meaningless way.
Including coming here to fight, he had no choice but to choose...
Although he had his own thoughts, from the moment he was successfully transformed, only "obedience" remained in his mind.
Even knowing that he was facing his former comrades, fellow humans, he could only fight, and fight on...
It can be said that these "people" who survived by sheer luck—let's still call them people for now—had no light ahead, no road ahead, only commands instilled in them during their long period of darkness.
This was his choice.
He was destined to die, but he wished he could still choose his own path in life...
Zero looked at Gray Kitchen, seeing his resolute expression, and sighed.
"In your next life, I hope you can live freely..."
"Tick-tock".
A tear fell to the ground, but did not splash up at all.
The ash slowly fell down...
Zero waved his hand and buried it in the dust, just like that teardrop.
