Chapter 255 - 227: Teleportation Disappearance
When Jiang Si saw her face clearly, she was incredibly surprised. The woman known throughout the base as the Holy Mother was actually an Easterner.
She looked to be in her thirties, her dignified and holy face filled with a hypocritical smile.
Laina quietly scrutinized Jiang Si, like a god looking down upon a mere ant.
Jiang Si had no time for her boring games. "Where are my people!?"
With a wave of her hand, Laina summoned a magnificent golden throne behind Jiang Si.
She smiled serenely. "Please, sit."
A bone-chilling coldness hid beneath the smile. The throne was clearly a trap, but Laina seemed certain that Jiang Si would compromise for the sake of her family.
The moment Jiang Si sat, she was assaulted by a pain that felt like her very flesh was being stripped from her bones.
Laina watched Jiang Si’s expression twist in agony. The throne was continuously absorbing her energy, and the energy stone inside her was on the verge of being expelled from her body. Seeing this, the sinister smile on Laina’s face widened, becoming utterly unrestrained.
Just when Laina thought victory was in her grasp, the unexpected happened. The power within Jiang Si erupted into a massive vortex, not only lifting her from the throne but also sucking Laina into it.
The part of her that was trapped was half of her virtual body, and Laina desperately tried to flee.
But she was completely unable to escape the rebound of Jiang Si’s power. Seeing that she was about to be absorbed, Laina realized the only way to save herself was to shatter this void and release Jiang Si.
Laina glared at Jiang Si with hatred and was forced to summon Kilton, commanding, "Stop it! Stop!!!"
The moment Kilton sensed her urgent summons, his sister, Mina, began to convulse violently, as if she were cursed.
Kilton’s gaze turned icy. A pitch-black vortex suddenly formed and pulled Jiang Si back into the real world.
Laina Holy Mother composed herself, but more than half her power had been devoured by Jiang Si. She could no longer fully control Jiang Linhai and Qin Shen.
However, she had to appear calm.
She smiled at Jiang Si, then gestured toward Jiang Linhai and Qin Shen, who were held in a special prison. "Look at them, how they long for you to save them. You have passed my trial. Pledge your eternal loyalty to me, and I can give you the finest things in this world—power, delicacies, status. Even at the world’s end, nothing can harm my most devout followers."
Jiang Si felt an unprecedented amount of energy coursing through her. And with it, she seemed to have gained a measure of control power.
Jiang Si suddenly raised her hand, and Laina Holy Mother, who moments before had been so haughty, was caught fast in an invisible grip.
Kilton’s eyes flew open. ’Someone can actually restrain Laina Holy Mother from a distance!’
His moment of excitement was instantly shattered by Laina Holy Mother’s vicious mental control.
His expression sank, and another massive black hole formed.
The black hole was a bottomless abyss, like a gateway to the void of space. Under Laina Holy Mother’s control, Kilton was trying to drag everyone into it with reckless abandon.
Jiang Si used her other hand to catch Kilton in a chokehold, but the black hole he had created showed no sign of stopping.
Seizing the moment Jiang Si’s focus wavered to protect Jiang Linhai and Qin Shen, Laina Holy Mother broke free from her grip and attempted to strike.
With a single sharp glance from Jiang Si, a crack of thunder left Laina Holy Mother completely paralyzed. As she teetered on the edge of the black hole, she cackled wildly, "Kill me, and you’ll all die with me!"
Seeing that even the Barrier Space couldn’t withstand the black hole’s pull, Jiang Si clenched her fists in frustration. She had no choice but to pull Laina Holy Mother back from the brink.
But in that very instant, Kilton’s sister, Mina, was sucked into the black hole. Kilton, who had created it, wanted to stop it, but Laina Holy Mother’s control was absolute. He was powerless and could only watch helplessly as the black hole devoured his sister.
He roared in anguish. In that same instant, Jiang Si pressed a gun to Laina Holy Mother’s head. "If you don’t want to die, give my family and friends back to me! All of them!"
Laina Holy Mother had long anticipated things might not go smoothly, which was why she had prepared for this exact contingency.
She smiled, her expression defiant and smug, as if daring Jiang Si to make a move.
Jiang Si suddenly grabbed her hand, a smirk touching her lips. "You might not know this, but I can absorb anyone’s energy stone."
Laina clearly needed an external power source to transfer other people’s superpowers.
But Jiang Si didn’t need to go to all that trouble.
The moment the words left Jiang Si’s mouth, Laina was struck with a terrifying sense of dread.
The next second, the energy in her body began to drain away, flowing unceasingly into Jiang Si.
