While the seven puppets laughed sinisterly, Meng Chao heard a series of sounds.

Chi chi chi chi.

It was as if some sort of gate or seal had been opened. A large amount of high-pressure gas was released through a narrow pipe.

As a Reaper with rich experience, he immediately knew from memory that it was the sound of gene reagents or similar dangerous biochemical products being extracted.

Yun Feidian is ready to inject the monster drug into Lu Siya’s body!

“Stop, Yun Feidian! You don’t know what you’re doing. You don’t know what kind of horrible existence you’ll awaken!”

Alas, Lu Siya could not conceal the trembling and fear in her voice.

Her fear, however, was not so much of Yun Feidian.

It was more appropriate to say that she was deeply afraid of something deep within her body.

“Yun-Yun Feidian, you’re making the biggest mistake of your life and in the history of Dragon City!”

Lu Siya’s voice became distorted as if a pair of invisible demon claws were strangling her throat from the inside, making her sound increasingly shrill.

It sounded like she was in pain, but beneath that pain, there were traces of excitement that were growing more and more intense.

“Yun Feidian, you hopeless fool. You have no idea what has happened to me in the past year!”

Lu Siya struggled like a man drowning in poison. She screamed in a voice that was close to a curse. “You have no idea how much pain I’ve had to go through to suppress ‘it’!

“For countless days and nights, ‘it’ has been trying to crawl out from the depths of my brain and control my cerebral cortex, central nerves, muscle fibers, and nerve endings, but I have suppressed ‘it’ through gritted teeth.

“Hehe, I never thought that the biggest threat to Dragon City would not be a ferocious monster, but a prim and proper beast like you!

“Sc*m like you are the real monsters, monsters in human skin!”

Even though they were two decks away, Meng Chao could clearly hear the voice coming from within Lu Siya’s body.

It was not just the sound of bones twisting and breaking.

It was not just the sound of internal organs squirming and expanding.

It was not just the sound of blood boiling and burning.

There were also cells that resembled crystal-clear buds blossoming into something more resplendent than fireworks.

Even the hidden gene strands in her cells, which had been dormant for billions of years, woke up one after another and roared like ferocious prehistoric beasts.

Along with those beautiful and terrifying sounds, imperceptible storms and waves were continuously being released from Lu Siya’s body.

The seemingly solid decks and shells made of super-strong alloys began to emit sounds of metal fatigue.

It was as if an invisible yet enormous growing Apocalyptic Beast was trying to tear apart the cage that was never destined to trap it!

“This… This is…”

The frantic voices of the seven puppets settled down slightly in the face of a crazier scene.

It seemed that even Yun Feidian did not expect the monster drug to have such a good effect when injected into Lu Siya’s body. It was so effective that Yun Feidian lost control of it.

“Hehe, I’ve told you before that humans are the most terrifying creatures. It’s not the monsters that are destined to destroy human civilization, but the humans themselves.”

Meng Chao frowned slightly when he heard Lu Siya’s voice again. He found it extremely ear-piercing and weird.

Although it was still the familiar voice of his close comrade-in-arms, she sounded a little colder and more indifferent than the past Lu Siya.

It was as if she was not the person at the center of the action.

Instead, she was sitting high up in the VIP seats, enjoying a stage play.

“No, I won’t let you have your way. Huff, huff… No, absolutely not!”

Lu Siya’s voice was hoarse as if sparks were bursting out from the cracks in her bones.

That was her real voice.

However, her battle cry which contained endless determination did not seem to be directed at Yun Feidian. Instead, it seemed to be directed at herself. To be more precise, it was directed at the powerful existence hidden in her body.

Meng Chao’s mind raced. After combining everything he had seen and heard in the past half a month, he understood the truth now.

Lu Siya had arrived at the most critical juncture.

A year ago, during their final battle on the summit of Mist Mountain, Meng Chao had been seriously injured. He had fallen into the Raging Tiger River and drifted all the way to Picturesque Orchid Lake.

However, his fierce counterattack had also triggered Lu Siya’s infinite courage. It encouraged her to risk everything in her fight with the monster mastermind, which had invaded her body.

For some reason, the monster mastermind could not completely devour Lu Siya’s body. It could only hide in the depths of her brain.

It made sense. While Lu Siya had not broken through to the Deity Realm yet, the monster mastermind had previously been besieged by dozens of Deity Realm warriors. It had almost been beaten into a cellular state, so how much power could it display?

In the following year, the monster mastermind launched many “temptations” or “attacks” as it lurked in the core of Lu Siya’s brain, but she repelled them all.

Therefore, the thing that Meng Chao was most worried about never happened.

In the more than one year that he was away from Dragon City, Lu Siya had taken his place, protecting his family, home, compatriots, and humanity’s line of defense!

‘Sister Ya…’

Meng Chao was moved by the thought.

He had experienced firsthand how terrifying the Mother of Origin—the monster mastermind in another form—was in the Holy Mountain Temple in Picturesque Orchid Lake.

No one knew better than Meng Chao what Lu Siya had experienced in the past year.

One could say that while the entire Dragon City was immersed in the delight of victory, enjoying the lights, wine, and fireworks in the human world, Lu Siya was fighting alone on a very cruel battlefield. She was facing an enemy a hundred times stronger than her in a battle that saw no hope of victory!

If Lu Siya’s will had not been strong enough, she would not have been able to delay her transformation into the wild banshee or even the monster queen.

Today Dragon City had already taken on an unimaginable appearance!

Yet, Yun Feidian, that selfish and stupid ambitious man, was trying to inject more monster drugs into Lu Siya’s body?

Meng Chao believed that the monster drug could not hurt Lu Siya.

However, it would worsen Lu Siya’s mental and genetic defenses, which were already on the verge of collapse.

It was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

Lu Siya was about to become an irreversible wild banshee, the queen of monsters!
