Chapter 1166: Chapter 1164: Passing off Fish Eyes as Pearls
This senior clearly still has some thoughts and decisions to make, just not many.
Although indeed a Second Phase, the excessively chaotic state significantly affects Goto Hi’s abilities.
After the covert guidance was interrupted, she decisively chose to fight force with force, using a blood-draining tactic.
That tongue too fast to dodge, coupled with the ability to transfer damage, indeed suited this approach very well.
Unfortunately, before finalizing her battle strategy, Goto Hi certainly couldn’t imagine that her Blood Bar was not robust enough against Fu Qian, and her armor was virtually worthless.
As for Fu Qian, her choice proved to be extraordinarily cooperative.
Not only competing in the length of Blood Bars but also conveniently presenting a posture that allowed him to maximize his damage output.
At this moment, the damage that was fully absorbed has nearly reduced the frog’s flesh and muscles to mire.
This battle, a classic case of the weak overcoming the strong, ended with an exceptionally swift resolution.
Now, only the uniquely shaped skeleton remained, still standing intact there.
If taken to a dissection class, wouldn’t it at least receive an A?
In contemplation, Fu Qian took two steps forward and picked up the eyeball that was still rolling.
This object fell off from the "back" of the frog, and not from the face that belonged to Vivian, but from a higher position at the top of the head.
Even though it was in such a standard location, in Fu Qian’s view, it still didn’t quite resemble a frog’s eye.
And the surging tide of wounds did not erode it at all.
Compared to other parts of the body, it seemed to possess much more independence.
In fact, this wasn’t exactly good news.
This object, the most likely to hold a trace of Vivian’s will, was still being used as an escape vessel for the soul.
It almost proved again that the two parties had nearly fused completely.
As for the splendid tail, it was already disintegrated into fragments in the surroundings.
Of course, it wasn’t as if it did nothing at all.
Fu Qian glanced to his side.
Lann, who had been pretending to be confused with his eyes closed, had now lost his head.
A hole pierced right through that spherical creature, a mark that clearly resembled that left by a tail.
After completely losing value, Goto Hi obliterated him along with her attack on herself.
"Thank you..."
Amidst his thoughts, surprisingly, Vivian’s voice actually echoed in his consciousness.
Fu Qian looked down at the eyeball in his hand, which still appeared dull.
"Finally, I am freed; I never thought this day would come!"
Before Fu Qian could say anything, the other party continued to express her emotions.
"My younger sister, is she okay?"
"Not bad."
Fu Qian finally nodded.
"That’s good to hear."
Vivian sounded somewhat relieved.
"I can’t protect her for the time being. If possible, can you take me away from this island?"
"No problem, I was about to leave."
Fu Qian nodded again.
"We’d better set off soon."
"...I actually just wanted to leave this island."
Vivian’s voice hesitated for a moment.
"If I completely leave this Miracle, my will might dissipate at any time."
"What do you mean? I’ve gone to all this trouble, and I end up with nothing?"
Fu Qian spoke with displeasure.
"...There are still some valuable things here, I can guide you to them."
"Oh, like your sister?"
"That’s not possible!"
Vivian exclaimed in alarm.
"It’s the real relics left behind by outsiders, not creations from the Sea of Ashes that can’t be taken away."
"Relics? You think to fob me off with some trinkets?"
Fu Qian sneered coldly.
"You think I would care for such vulgar baubles?"
...
"Here’s a choice for you, either you come with me, or your sister comes with me."
In the silence of the other party, Fu Qian had adopted the tone of a bandit leader.
"Your Excellency..."
After a long while, Vivian’s voice finally emerged amidst immense struggle.
"Thank you for taking me out."
Hmph!
Fu Qian snorted coldly.
"That’s more like it."
The next moment, he snapped his fingers and activated the Clear Dream Ring.
Senior, at such a time you still won’t take a gamble, you are really rather short-sighted.
...
"What have you done?"
In an environment that looked unchanged, a shocked voice sounded.
Appearing simultaneously was a blurry figure nearby.
However, one glance was enough to see a huge difference from Vivian’s face.
In fact, the voice speaking was also different.
"No worries, my intentions are benign, just helping you to refine your soul and achieve transformation."
Fu Qian waved his hand nonchalantly.
As the Master of the Dream Realm, projecting will into form is no difficult feat.
"Impossible, you have no reason to recognize it..."
Goto Hi naturally couldn’t believe this nonsense, her expression fluctuating like stormy weather, finding it hard to accept the outcome.
"Isn’t your assumption a bit too idealized?"
Fu Qian frowned slightly.
"Clearly, when previously trying to escape and being stopped, it looked suspicious, didn’t it?"
"...But everything I said is something only Vivian would know."
Goto Hi was clearly reluctant to accept this.
"That part, you did quite decisively."
Fu Qian partially acknowledged the other party.
"Under the circumstance that escape was not possible, you sacrificed the purity of self, forcibly merging with the remnants of Vivian’s will, and while holding absolute dominance, you communicated with me under the guise of Vivian."
"The decision was reasonable, indeed it was your only chance for survival."
"Earlier on, you acted quite naturally, but the last question revealed your flaw."
Fu Qian shook his head.
"Choosing between you and your sister, if I were serious, then naturally the choice would determine who lives or dies. But the question seemed like a test, unlikely to really lead to someone being taken away. If you had truly chosen your sister, it would be easy to waste all the effort you put in the performance, putting you in a dilemma."
"And the real Vivian wouldn’t hesitate because of that question, at least she wouldn’t show as much hesitation as you."
"In fact, you should’ve realized, in such a situation there is no absolutely safe choice, you should have decisively gambled that I was testing you, but you are not that willing to let go."
"...Why must it be so ruthless? You know, fundamentally I can also be considered as Vivian now."
"Senior."
Fu Qian sighed.
"Just a few hours ago you said to kill you if I’m not willing to help, have you forgotten so soon?"
"And who said I’m mercilessly pursuing to the end? I’ve always enjoyed helping others."
Fu Qian snapped his fingers again. Goto Hi’s face rippled, faintly revealing Vivian’s silhouette.
"Your Excellency, although I’m not clear what has happened, please destroy the eye and completely kill her. I’m willing to perish together with her."
Almost immediately, this person, who seemed clueless about the situation, issued a desperate plea.
"Take care of your own matters."
In front of the voice of Vivian, struggling to take control, Fu Qian still shook his head.
"Haven’t you noticed? Inside here, you two have become relatively independent again."
"No matter what method, just defeat the other, and the dream will end."
Having introduced the rules, Fu Qian said nothing more, just silently watched the figure that sank into silence.
...
Just a few minutes later, the dream shattered with a thunderous crash.
Fu Qian examined the eye; the already dim and lusterless Goto Hi was now even cracked.
"Indeed, a battle of wills does not require much time."
Fu Qian mumbled to himself, feeling the faint will that was about to vanish. He nonchalantly tossed the eye into the water and began recalling the passcode pathway he had obtained from Nini Anni.
Almost at the same moment, the familiar song of a mermaid traveled from not too far away.
