Chapter 276: MingYue vs Gluttony
\'So all Gluttony is connected?\'
\'As long as they are within some distance, yes. That is why we couldn\'t let her escape; otherwise, our only option is to run to another planet.\'
MingYue let out a sigh. Every time they took a step, things just became more complicated for them.
Before, they lacked the strength to defeat her; now that she had enough, they lacked the time.
\'Vesa, any solution?\'
\'Yes, as long as there is no Gluttony in this solar system, there should be no risk.\'
\'Explain.\'
\'After I eat the world\'s core, I should be able to manipulate the world as it collapses.
As I move the sentient beings to their new place, I can use the planet to trap the Aspect of Gluttony, then King and Queen could just finish her.\'
\'Too risky.\' MingYue then tried to think of another way to do this.
She then remembered how Alex usually used drones to check the world.
In fact, even now, the drone is still mapping the planet\'s surface.
She then decided to imitate it. Her eyes closed as she focused; she created a few ice lotuses floating in the air.
At first, MingYue thought of separating a small part of her soul and infusing it. But she then got a better idea.
There was already one that was in soul form and had nothing to do.
If the lotus was destroyed, it would cause some soul damage, but it\'s not something permanent since only a small part of her is required.
She flicked her hand, taking out the earring from her storage ring, \'LingHua, time for you to work.\'
LingHua, who didn\'t know anything as she was in the dark, was confused, but soon she cursed what happened and preferred to just stay back in the storage ring.
As a cultivator who often had long periods of seclusion for training, staying alone in darkness didn\'t make her feel anything.
Meanwhile, Petricia had already made her way to the capital of Edonia. She used her transformation spell to look like a sovereign.
She had asked for some information from Elvira, so she didn\'t go blind like Alex and MingYue before.
Right now, she was Lady Seraphina. She was quite eccentric and rarely showed up in public, which was perfect for her disguise.
The capital was far more advanced than Elvira\'s city. She could see Vitae was used everywhere, as light in the buildings, it was even used to make road signs.
People moved around using chariots pulled by horses, similar to the one Alex captured before.
Everywhere she walked, she was respected, but people looked at her with confused gazes.
It\'s very rare for a sovereign to walk on their own feet like that, but no one dared to ask questions.
As this was the capital, many sovereigns lived in this place. Some saw what happened but, recognizing her as eccentric, just decided to stay away.
Her eccentricity was known to border on madness.
She was famous for experimenting on many things, just like a mad scientist; some rumors even said she experimented with creating an artificial sovereign, but no one knew if it was true or not.
It didn\'t take long for Petricia to reach the main castle. She just wanted to enter when droplets of water suddenly began to fall on the ground. Looking up at the sky, she realized she was too late.
CRACK!!!!
A huge cracking sound reverberated loudly, heard by all the populace. The water droplets became faster and heavier, followed by a devastating view of the cracked sky.
Above, Luciel\'s hand was turning into something like a hammer as she kept hitting the barrier.
The area was already cracked open. But the scar in the sky was glowing in green as the world tried to mend itself.
She grinned, then tried to attack again but stopped midway as an ice chill passed in front of her.
Looking to the side, she could see MingYue with two ice wings and a serpent-like tail. She didn\'t stop and shot another barrage of ice lotuses.
Gluttony moved in a blur, dodging all the attacks, but since the first target was not her, MingYue detonated the lotuses, creating an explosion of ice to capture Luciel.
She then dashed forward, almost like teleporting, her finger pressing at Luciel\'s forehead.
The next moment she found herself in her inner world. The place was the same as she had seen before. It was pure darkness filled with lips; even the ground made MingYue float.
Her eyes then locked onto the pillar in the middle, where Luciel\'s face could be seen, \'It seems she has somehow survived the ordeal,\' she thought.
One of the mouths in the sky opened and then threw up black goo. As it dropped down, it started changing appearance into the silhouette of a knight.
It was fully black with two swords as hands. His head had two huge horns, with one eye and lips filled with an array of sharp teeth.
MingYue\'s crimson eyes glinted as she started utilizing her soul power to the peak. Ice-cold energy started spreading, freezing everything it touched, but the knight didn\'t flinch.
A symbol of Gluttony then appeared on his forehead, as he said in a distorted voice, "As I expected, you are a progenitor\'s heir. The same as that man, just what are you losers planning now?"
"Dead people don\'t need to know anything," MingYue said coldly.
The next moment, she appeared behind the Aspect of Gluttony.
CLANG!
Her sword met his, but she was winning now.
She started pushing through Gluttony\'s block even with one hand. Her other hand\'s palm opened, and an ice sword appeared; she then lunged it at his torso.
But a mouth appeared and bit the sword.
MingYue didn\'t mind. The moment it happened, the tip started turning into an ice lotus and then exploded inside, freezing Gluttony\'s body.
