Chapter: Chapter 511
“Wait!” Leticia quickly stopped the consciousness of Fenghuang. Her mental power formed a solid barrier between Fenghuang and the Big Egg. The defense that was easily breached by Huang before was quite effective against Fenghuang.
Crashing into Leticia’s mental barrier, the golden light representing Fenghuang returned to the divine bone in a dazed state.
Then, the little girl looked at Leticia with wide eyes, full of confusion, not understanding why Leticia was stopping her from returning to her main body.
The Big Egg was also confused. Although it didn’t have eyes yet, it could still perceive events outside. It had already prepared to receive its wisp of consciousness, but Leticia forcefully stopped Fenghuang, making it somewhat incomprehensible.
“Who are you people, and why are you here?” The Big Egg sent out a mental波動. Unable to make a sound, it could only communicate with other existences in this way.
Unlike Fenghuang’s appearance when Leticia first encountered it, the Big Egg’s mental波動 was clear. If it were a voice, it would be energetic and articulate, completely different from Fenghuang’s ethereal state.
Perhaps this was the difference between the main body and a wisp of consciousness?
“We originally came to kill you, but now the objective has changed. We are here to save you.” Leticia looked at the Big Egg half-submerged in the lava river, enveloped in golden energy, and briefly explained the current situation.
Speaking of which, Leticia examined the Big Egg with a strange gaze. This egg was indeed quite large.
Yes, Huang’s main body was outrageously large, but its egg was also about ten meters tall, which was beyond Leticia’s imagination.
Have you ever seen an egg as tall as a building? Now Leticia had.
But the voice of this egg was so young and tender, which was very incongruous and made Leticia feel uncomfortable.
“I knew that guy wasn’t good!” After listening to Leticia’s explanation, the Big Egg immediately believed Leticia’s words without any doubt.
This reaction was exactly the same as Fenghuang’s, as expected, they were one and the same in essence.
“Aren’t you going to doubt me and think I’m lying?” Leticia felt that the Big Egg should have some doubts at this moment, showing its trust in Huang.
But the Big Egg let out a soft hum, indicating that she wasn’t stupid. “My other half trusts you so much, so I trust you too.”
Her consciousness had only left her body a short while ago. In such a short time, their thinking differences couldn’t have become too large. Since Fenghuang had brought these two people to find her, the Big Egg naturally trusted her own judgment.
“So hurry up and let me merge with her. I want to know how she’s been outside, if she’s encountered anything fun, and if she’s eaten anything delicious!” The golden patterns on the Big Egg flickered, indicating that her emotions seemed to be somewhat elevated.
Fenghuang also looked expectant, making Leticia unsure of what to say.
In Fenghuang’s heart, she was supposed to return to her main body, and she had no complaints about this outcome.
But Leticia hesitated a little. She cast a pleading gaze at Bai Ling, wanting Miss Bai to say something.
Seeing Leticia’s gaze, Bai Ling guessed Leticia’s thoughts. Undoubtedly, Leticia was reluctant to part with Fenghuang. This young lady, who had been so stubborn before, had now softened her heart.
She promised she would never soften her heart, but now, hehe.
“No, the situation is different now. Fenghuang doesn’t need to merge with this egg, does she?” Leticia explained flusteredly. “I wanted to use her to deal with Huang before, but now Huang has been driven back. We can just guard this egg, wait for her to hatch, and then leave with her, right?”
Huang still needed to be pursued, but as long as the hatched little phoenix was taken away, Huang wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble.
Fenghuang, who was originally used to deal with the corporeal Huang, no longer had the need to return to her main body. Leticia was indeed a bit reluctant to let this little guy leave.
Even if she was willing, or even looking forward to returning to her main body.
However, after returning, would that cute little Fenghuang still exist? Was the person within this Big Egg Fenghuang?
Leticia didn’t think so. Even if they were one person, even if the Big Egg would inherit Fenghuang’s memories and feelings upon hatching, she still didn’t believe the Big Egg was Fenghuang.
“I think you’re getting stuck in a rut, Letty,” Bai Ling wasn’t as conflicted as Leticia. Although she also liked Fenghuang, she didn’t like her that much, so she didn’t have Leticia’s hesitant thoughts. “But since you think so, let’s not let Fenghuang go back for now. We won’t be short of one mouth to feed anyway.”
“I can’t understand. She and I are one person. If she merges with me, won’t I become her?” The Big Egg still couldn’t understand Leticia’s thoughts. The golden patterns on her body flickered on and off, and a few more cracks appeared on her smooth eggshell.
Judging by her appearance, she was indeed very close to hatching.
“It’s different, I think it’s different.” Leticia hugged Fenghuang in her arms and mumbled, “Consider it my little tantrum. You don’t lack this wisp of consciousness anyway.”
Fenghuang’s consciousness was currently complete, and with Leticia’s care, Fenghuang would gain considerable mental strength after collecting a few more fragments of Huang’s consciousness. This would be a win-win situation, wouldn’t it?
Except for Fenghuang being a little unhappy, it would be a perfect ending, right?
“Right, we’re going to take you out. Do you have any objections?”
“Yes! I can only hatch in this space. Once I leave here, I won’t be able to hatch.” The Big Egg shook her body, indicating that she had to stay in this space until she hatched. “Other places do not have the conditions for me to hatch.”
As for the specific conditions for hatching, the Big Egg actually didn’t know. She only knew that she had to hatch in this space.
Hearing this news, Leticia exchanged a helpless glance with Bai Ling. It seemed they had to stay here a little longer.
If they could take the Big Egg away from here, it would be much more convenient.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t.
“Then we’ll guard you, and take you away after you hatch. Is that okay?” Leticia asked.
“Yes. Oh, can you help me add some fire? I’m feeling a bit cold.” The Big Egg happily moved up and down, not suspecting Leticia of any ulterior motives at all.
She really had no guard at all, this little thing.
Seeing the Big Egg so content with her situation, Leticia didn’t know how to face her. This little guy’s essence was clearly Huang’s reincarnation, but why did Huang seem completely different from her?
Could it be that the original Huang was actually like this, and something happened to make Huang become the arrogant and supreme being she was now?
But what could Huang, a god, encounter? It was probably just psychological deviation from being invincible for too long.
Using fire magic to melt the surrounding ground for the Big Egg, Leticia took out some mental energy, intending to bribe the Big Egg.
And the result was as Leticia expected. This Big Egg and Fenghuang were indeed cast from the same mold. Whenever they encountered delicious food, they didn’t doubt it at all and directly opened their mouths to eat it ravenously.
“I want more, I want more!” After eating the mental energy provided by Leticia, the Big Egg was still not satisfied. She opened her mouth and demanded more mental energy from Leticia.
As this mental energy was absorbed, the cracks on her eggshell increased again.
Leticia noticed this detail. If she fed the Big Egg more, it should accelerate her hatching. Thinking this, she immediately made up her mind: feed her, feed her anything!
Being able to take the Big Egg away from here sooner was a victory. The longer the time dragged on, the more variables there could be. Huang was not dead yet, who knew if she would recover from her injuries during this time and make a comeback?
Speaking of comebacks, Leticia didn’t just sit idle while waiting for the Big Egg to hatch. She set up multiple barriers around the Big Egg, using the powers of the Dragon God and the Dream God on each barrier, with the intention of preventing Huang from desperately lunging to seize the body when the Big Egg hatched.
With these barriers, even if Huang was very powerful, she wouldn’t be able to descend onto the Big Egg and seize the body before Leticia reacted. As long as Leticia reacted, it would be relatively easy to stop the half-crippled Huang.
Time passed quietly and unknowingly. After about a day, the Big Egg was covered in cracks, and it could be seen that the life enclosed within the eggshell was trying hard to push outwards.
This must be close to hatching, right? Leticia thought as she looked at the Big Egg.
So now, it was time to think about how to deal with Huang’s counterattack. That guy would never give up… Oh, speak of the devil, and she appears.
The black ground in the distance was washed away by the lava, and a large bird bathed in flames shot out from the ocean of lava, flying towards the Big Egg with ferocity no less than before.
“Much weaker than before.” Leticia looked at Huang, who was rushing towards them, and was not afraid at all. Compared to the golden energy body of Huang that was defeated not long ago, Huang now looked much weaker in appearance and momentum.
She should be able to hold her off alone.
“When this little one hatches, you take her and leave. I’ll hold Huang back.”
Leticia leaped forward, transforming into her dragon form again, and collided fiercely with Huang.
“Get out of my way!” The lava bird attacked Leticia desperately. Unlike her previous performance, Huang now truly showed a desperate demeanor. Even though her strength was slightly inferior to Leticia’s, she still suppressed Leticia from the very first moment of their engagement.
Dealing with such a desperate opponent is very difficult.
Fortunately, Huang had been seriously injured not long ago. Otherwise, if Leticia had to face the energy body’s desperate onslaught, she wouldn’t have been as at ease as she was before.
Golden chains tried to control the lava bird, but Huang, having learned from her past mistakes, gave Infrerno no chance. Every time the golden chains approached, Huang would immediately use a self-detonating move to forcefully shatter the golden chains.
Without touching Huang’s body, the golden chains thrown by Infrerno were not very strong and were easily destroyed.
Bai Ling also took out her Star Sword and watched the two entangled giant beasts nervously. She wanted to help Leticia, but Huang had clearly learned from her previous lesson. She was now engaging in close combat with Leticia, and it was an extremely fierce close combat, making Bai Ling afraid to unleash her attacks.
If she accidentally missed and hit Leticia with her sword, Bai Ling would truly become the MVP for Huang in this battle.
While the two giant beasts were fighting desperately in the sky, Fenghuang stared blankly at the Big Egg enveloped in golden energy not far away. She felt a sense of closeness emanating from there, and that sense was gradually growing, soon to reach a critical point.
Once that critical point was reached, the life within the eggshell could hatch, and a newborn god would be born.
Dimly, Fenghuang seemed to see something and hear something.
A bad feeling welled up in her heart. The golden energy enveloping the Big Egg seemed to hide something.
This golden energy was formed from Huang’s corpse, carrying an extremely strong aura of Huang. If Huang was hiding within it… No, no, that Huang was very powerful. She couldn’t possibly suppress her mental波動 to such a weak level, could she?
Even Sister Leticia didn’t think there was anything wrong with this golden energy. Perhaps I’m overthinking?
Fenghuang trotted to the outside of the multi-layered barriers set up by Leticia, wanting to get closer to sense the气息 within the golden energy.
It was that annoying aura, but there was no mental波動. Was I really mistaken? Fenghuang widened her eyes and stared intently at the golden energy enveloping the Big Egg.
It was normal, very normal, it seemed there was nothing abnormal.
…
No! There was a very faint mental波動!
And this mental波動 was very familiar to Fenghuang!
If Huang had abandoned most of her strength after her previous failure, and merely hid her memories within this golden energy, then she indeed had the opportunity to deceive everyone present!
“Be careful, Huang is going to seize your body!” Fenghuang said anxiously, reminding her main body.
“Mmm? Mmm…” A dreamlike sound came from the Big Egg. She seemed to have entered a semi-conscious state and could no longer hear the commotion outside.
The cracked eggshell slowly began to melt, turning into a jade-white liquid, and the golden energy immediately mixed with this liquid, dyeing it with a fiery golden hue.
A phoenix cry echoed in the lava space, and Huang’s voice, filled with hatred, appeared in everyone’s minds.
“You may be able to defeat the current me, but can you defeat a new me?”
