Join the ServerMeanwhile, Liu Xingluo remained completely unaware that her true identity had been discovered by Shen Yunfei through their recent phone conversation.
In the lounge, she was discussing with Lain how to defeat Jidi in their next encounter. After all, Lain knew the other princesses better than anyone. Discussing with him should quickly yield a feasible plan.
First, there was that time-stopping ability—she couldn’t let Jidi use it. Once activated, Liu Xingluo would be like a fish on a chopping board, powerless to resist.
Given that Jidi had only used the ability after dragging Liu Xingluo into her domain, it seemed the power was restricted to that space. So, if Liu Xingluo ganged up with other superhumans to overwhelm Jidi and prevent her from expanding her domain, that would effectively seal that ability.
“Princess, you have a very deep misunderstanding about the Sixth Princess’s ability.”
“Huh? What misunderstanding? Where am I wrong?”
Truly, Lain was the one who knew the princesses best. He immediately pointed out her error. Coming to him to discuss strategies had been the right choice… the right Void Beast.
“The Sixth Princess’s time freeze can be used even outside her domain. It wasn’t used in your battle simply because she couldn’t at that time.”
The world Evolved Beasts lived in was vastly different from the human world. When an Void Beast crossed through a rift into the human world, environmental changes weakened them to some degree. But over time, they gradually adapted to the current environment and recovered their original strength.
That was part of the reason Jidi hadn’t pulled out her trump card when first fighting Liu Xingluo. Having just arrived in the human world, her body hadn’t adapted yet, preventing her from unleashing her full power—and thus, she couldn’t freeze time.
But by expanding her domain and dragging Liu Xingluo into her own territory, she could instantly return to peak condition and obliterate her.
“I see. So that’s how it is. That means I have to defeat her as quickly as possible.”
If she allowed Jidi to continue wreaking havoc in this world, it was only a matter of time before she adapted and regained her full strength. When that happened, Liu Xingluo would truly have no chance of victory.
“Moreover, your assumption that cooperating with other humans could prevent the Sixth Princess from expanding her domain is too naive. Even if all humans attacked together, they couldn’t get close to her.”
True. Even with the power of the Seventh Princess, she herself had been instantly frozen in Jidi’s presence. Other superhumans would be completely immobilized before her.
‘Ah, so frustrating. How can I ban her domain and time stop?’
Unable to think of a countermeasure, Liu Xingluo could only stare at the floor in dismay, trying to come up with another idea.
‘Come to think of it, if she can expand her domain, shouldn’t I be able to do the same?’
Even though she was a fake, the power of the Seventh Princess within her was genuine. Since both were princesses, they should share some common abilities.
“Lain, what would happen if I expanded my domain at the same time Sister expands hers?”
If both princesses’ domains expanded and overlapped, what would be the final result? Would they cancel each other out? Would both domains coexist? Or would the stronger domain destroy the weaker one?
“You intend to expand your domain simultaneously with the Sixth Princess? Such a thing… I apologize, but I don’t know the outcome either.”
Previously, the princesses had all lived in another world and had never needed to expand their domains to recover strength. So Lain naturally didn’t know what would happen. Still, Liu Xingluo’s question intrigued him. What would indeed happen when two princesses expanded their domains at the same time?
“What? You don’t know either. Forget it, let’s set that aside for now.”
At least, she could treat it as a contingency plan. If all went well, her domain would collide with the enemy’s and annihilate each other. That would seal Jidi’s most powerful time-stopping ability.
As for herself, Liu Xingluo had never expected her domain to grant her any enhancement from the start. Although in theory, she should be able to use her own ultimate move within her domain…
But that required knowing what her ultimate move was! She had no memories of the Seventh Princess! Under these circumstances, relying on the domain to empower her was less practical than crashing it into the opponent’s domain to seal their ultimate move.
What? You ask what if the plan didn’t go smoothly? No need to worry. Lain was there; after she was defeated, he would take her to safety. Even if she failed, she definitely wouldn’t be killed by Jidi.
With the enemy’s ultimate move handled, the next thing to consider was the battle itself. Even without her domain, Jidi’s raw power was immense. Relying solely on brute force, Liu Xingluo stood no chance. To tip the scales, she had to use abilities in combat like Jidi and all other superhumans did.
To that end, she needed large quantities of Void Beast corpses, extracting their powers for her own use.
If she made good use of various Void Beast abilities, she might be able to defeat Jidi.
But before that, she had to clarify one very important issue: Lain’s stance. He claimed he existed to protect her. However, other princesses might also fall under his protection. If she defeated the Sixth Princess and tried to finish her off, only for Lain to take Jidi away, that would be a disaster. So it was best to confirm now.
“Lain, if I defeat Sister and intend to kill her, what will you do? Will you protect her?”
“How could I? The order I received is only to protect your safety, Princess of the Seventh. The safety of the other princesses is not my responsibility. Furthermore, you granted me a name—by that grace alone, I stand on your side.”
Not only would he not stop Liu Xingluo from killing the other princesses, but if she chose not to show mercy after defeating them, Lain would not mind doing the deed himself.
After all, that was also one of the tasks given to him by the Great God.
“You put my mind at ease. Good. Then next… Lain, use your shadow to search for places storing large quantities of Void Beast corpses. To defeat Sister, I need to absorb power—more power.”
Usually, after a unit successfully killed an Void Beast, another team would be responsible for retrieving and storing the corpse. If she could find the storage location, she could save herself the trouble of hunting monsters.
She could ask Shen Yunfei, but since Lain was such a useful tool, she might as well make good use of him instead. Besides, even if she asked, Shen Yunfei might not tell her.
