Charlotte let out a piercing scream, crazily pouring the last shred of her mental energy, along with all her longing and obsession for Annabell, into the alchemy furnace.
Hummm!
Just as Charlotte’s soul was completely exhausted and her consciousness sank into darkness, the Elven alchemy furnace suddenly let out a deafening roar.
A dazzling holy light shot up into the sky, directly tearing apart the starry void!
At the center of that light, a bottle the size of a thumb, radiating an aura that seemed capable of creating all things, shot through the air.
The miraculous alchemy potion was complete!
However, the once calm starry sky suddenly turned violent. Deep within the ruins, the battle had caused signs of collapse.
This turbulent mana transformed into thunder, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, crashing down!
“It’s over!” The old woman, isolated outside, let out a despairing cry at the sight.
Just as that devastating black lightning was about to blast Charlotte into oblivion—
The bottle of miraculous potion hovering in midair suddenly turned into a streak of light and, with unimaginable speed, drilled into Charlotte’s forehead.
The next second, a miracle happened.
Charlotte’s body erupted with blinding radiance.
Behind her, space twisted, and a soul projection slowly materialized.
It was a figure wearing an elegant mage robe, holding a staff.
Silver-white hair cascaded like a waterfall. Those red-and-blue heterochromatic eyes held the majesty of a king overlooking all living beings.
“Annabell! No, that’s not right… not her… even though they look the same… but… no…”
The old woman’s eyes widened, her very soul trembling in terror.
“Could it be?!”
The soul projection only gave a cold glance at the descending black lightning. Then, it slowly raised its scepter and waved it gently.
“Get lost.”
A single, ice-cold syllable fell.
That mana storm, enough to make even a Tier 8 expert die in regret, shattered like fragile glass under that wave, turning into countless specks of light that dissipated without a trace.
The invincible soul projection lowered its head slightly, looking at the unconscious Charlotte at its feet. In those cold, heterochromatic eyes, an extremely human-like gentleness flickered.
“You’ve come… and I’ve come too…”
Then, the projection slowly faded, turning into a shield of starlight, firmly protecting Charlotte within.
As the invincible soul projection shattered the mana storm with a single blow, the alchemy furnace in the Trial Space let out a joyful hum.
Next, the furnace turned into a streak of light and landed steadily in the hands of the unconscious Charlotte, transforming into an exquisite ornament.
A massive light gate, carved with intricate elven totems, slowly appeared behind Charlotte.
That was the final passage to the Elven King’s core legacy. Now, it was finally fully open to Charlotte.
However, on the other side of the spatial barrier, inside the crumbling Ruins Hall, the atmosphere had reached a suffocating extreme.
Deafening sounds of magical collisions rang out endlessly.
Annabell’s figure darted rapidly through the violet-black sea of flames. Her breathing was completely ragged. Her silver-white hair was soaked with sweat, plastered tightly against her pale cheeks.
“Damn human! How long do you think this trick can hold me?!” the Demon God soul fire roared in fury. Its massive body shook violently, and ring after ring of solidifying black flame barriers began to contract inward crazily.
Annabell gritted her teeth. The wand in her hand was almost crushed by her grip.
She could feel the surrounding temperature rising at a terrifying rate. Even with the protection of the extreme cold origin, her skin was starting to show signs of burns.
‘My mana… is really running out.’ Annabell smiled bitterly to herself.
She glanced at the system panel. All the status bars were flashing a harsh red light.
This time, she had drunk every potion she could. Not a single bottle was left.
The Demon God’s strength was truly terrifying.
Even though she had used her cunning to fuse three extreme cold origins and temporarily suppress it, this monster, with one foot into the realm of gods, had mana as deep as a bottomless pit.
The black flame barriers tightened like a giant meat grinder, trying to completely crush Annabell.
“Give up, you lowly insect! I’ll burn you to ashes, and your soul—” The Demon God’s words stopped abruptly. Suddenly, its movements froze.
Within the twisted purple-black flames, an unimaginable wave of ecstatic agitation erupted.
“This smell… this pure wave of soul fire…” The Demon God even forgot to continue hunting Annabell. It abruptly turned its “head” and stared fixedly at the half-shattered door deep inside the hall.
Now that the trial was complete, the time-space seal of the entire ruin was lifted! The door was nothing but an ordinary door now!
“Yao Shen Hun! It’s Yao Shen Hun! Hahahaha! I can smell you!” The Demon God let out a crazed laugh. “As long as I devour it… as long as I devour it, my divine core will be completely restored! I will return to my peak and become the god of the new world!”
Annabell’s heart sank heavily.
She knew exactly what the Demon God was talking about.
Charlotte had succeeded! She had not only survived the trial, but the Medicine God soul fire inside her had fully awakened.
But that also meant Charlotte had become the most delicious prey in the Demon God’s eyes.
“I won’t play with you anymore, little bug! Thank you for stalling for me—letting me wait for this feast!”
The Demon God decisively gave up its fight with Annabell.
Its massive body instantly elongated, and two giant claws formed of black flame tore forward fiercely.
Deprived of the Elven King’s restraint, the spatial barrier tore open like a piece of cloth under the Demon God’s power, creating a huge spatial rift.
The other side of the rift faintly revealed the light of the Elven King’s Inheritance Space.
The Demon God, impatient, was already half-squeezing its body into the rift.
“Stop!”
Annabell’s pupils suddenly contracted. Her red-and-blue heterochromatic eyes burst with unprecedented ferocity.
If this monster crossed over and attacked, the defenseless Charlotte would surely die! Then everything she had risked her life for would be wasted.
‘I promised her… I would let her live…’ Annabell bit the tip of her tongue. The sharp pain instantly cleared her fading consciousness.
“Who said you can leave?!”
Annabell let out an icy shout.
She didn’t choose to flee. Instead, she made an extremely crazy decision.
She reached out her hands and, without hesitation, slapped together all the remaining divine creations in front of her, forcibly fusing them!
[Warning! Warning! The host is performing an extremely dangerous mana fusion!]
[System suggestion: Stop immediately! Otherwise, there is a risk of death by body explosion!]
In her mind, the system issued a piercing red alarm. But Annabell turned a deaf ear.
Annabell’s fair hands were instantly torn apart by the violent extreme cold mana. Blood gushed out and froze into ice crystals the moment it emerged.
Her eyes were filled with frantic determination.
Under her forced pressure, the three extreme cold origins let out a mournful cry. They were actually squeezed together, forming a fist-sized, deep dark blue ice core.
Absolute zero ice core!
The mana inside this ice core was extremely unstable, like a magical nuclear bomb that could detonate at any moment. The surrounding space, unable to withstand this extreme cold, began to collapse in large areas.
The Demon God also felt the deadly threat from behind. It turned back in terror.
“Madwoman! Are you trying to take me down with you?!”
