The Sinful Life of The Emperor

Chapter 654: Ice Queen Takes Action

Chapter 654: Ice Queen Takes Action

Ice Queen's ice wings opened and started expanding, soon overshadowing the skies of the mausoleum.

Kiba was startled. She hasn't undergone any transformation except for a few minor changes, yet he felt she was entirely different.

Her eyes now shined with an amber-blue color while her glistening lips lustered with deep darkness.

The Black Fog felt something amiss. But it was too late to stop.

The formation began spinning, and two piercing beams erupted, emitting a sensation that the world was about to end.

Despite being thousands of miles away, the Alphas felt dazed and weak from this sensation, and they couldn't help but feel Kiba and Ice Queen were done for! There was no stopping the beams!

Naturally, one beam was reaching for Ice Queen and the other for Kiba. But to the shock of both Kiba and the Black Fog, the beam targeting him turned direction and shot at Ice Queen.

"What?!" The Black Fog couldn't believe this was happening. If not for the surprised look of Kiba, it would have felt this was Kiba's doing.

Ice Queen didn't attempt to block or retreat. She just floated, and the beams slammed into her forehead and heart.

Blood violently sprayed out of her mouth, and her body jerked back.

"Haha!" The Black Fog was pleased.

It didn't understand why the other beam shot at her, but seeing the result, it didn't matter.

The hearts of the Alphas jolted. Ice Queen was finished!

"This is bad!"

Kiba's eyes narrowed.

He concluded the opposite of what others had. Without wasting a moment, he channeled his powers and surrounded himself with a protective barrier.

The Black Fog snickered. That golden-haired human wanted to resist even now? What a fool!

Swoosh~!

Just then, the fog twitched as it heard a swooshing sound, and it brought its focus back on Ice Queen.

"No!"

Her body had stabilized.

The beams' destructive energy moved away from her forehead and heart and coursed towards the back of her right hand. This was where the strand of Cosmic Spark was located, and the energy rushed into it.

The energy didn't stay there for long. It moved out and flew back into her body, but this time it was coated with darkness.

"Corruption!" The Black Fog screamed in horror as it realized what was happening. "Eternal Darkness has corrupted the formation's energy! That energy is now hers!"

The energy moved from Ice Queen's body to her wings, and the wings burst out with ice shards. They shot at the ground, like a rain of ice beams, enchanting but lethal.

"Bloody hell! Run!"

A mutant who had achieved the rank of Alpha not so long ago shouted.

The shards emanated the sensation of the world about to end, just like the beams that had blasted into Ice Queen.

The mutant knew what this signified: The endless mausoleum was finished!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Thousands of explosions rang in quick successions, sending chunks of soil and stone in the air.

The Alphas used their divine abilities to evade the shards and block the shockwaves. But it was turning difficult with every second as the wings continued to burst out with shards, making the mausoleum receive endless rain.

"What is this darkness?"

Miria wondered as she saw strands of darkness sweeping out from the exploding shards. These strands were like sticky ink, and they crawled towards the tombs, releasing acidic sounds.

"Stop!" The Black Fog roared.

The metallic slabs covering the tombs were resilient to the offensive powers, but cracks still emerged from the explosions. And with the arrival of sticky darkness, the slabs started corroding. It was just a matter of seconds before the tombs opened.

When that happened, the mechanism left behind by Lord Xeced would automatically revive the corpses.

While the Black Fog's mission was to indeed revive the corpses, it has to be done in a regular interval of time, something that would take centuries. Doing it before the destined time would drastically impact the plan!

"Plan! She spoke of the plan!"

The Black Fog recalled the conversation with Ice Queen from a few minutes ago. She was amused when it mentioned Lord Xeced's plan.

"If she wanted to resist the formation, she wouldn't use her powers to rain the formation power throughout the mausoleum!" The Black Fog thought. "But then what does she hopes to achieve by doing this?"

Given her actions so far, the fog knew she didn't come here to inherit a legacy nor to steal legendary items or godly materials from the tombs.

Then why would she be here?

Surely it couldn't be for reviving the corpses either.

Because that wouldn't make sense, as her refusing to pick a Legacy Orb signified she knew the dangers the corpses possessed!

The Alphas, in the meantime, tried their best to leave the mausoleum and retreat through the paths they arrived here. Sadly, the ice shards pretty much crushed those paths, making it impossible for them to leave.

"We are stranded here!" Flame King jumped back to dodge a shard. "All because of her!"

A few miles away, Crimson Wolf eyed Ice Queen while blocking the ice shards with a crimson field. The field shook heavily, and darkness splashed on it like water. Thankfully, the darkness rushed towards the tombs, and he let out a sigh in relief.

"Just what is she trying to do?"

Mountain Lord sent a chain of mountains rolling in the air, making them smash into the incoming shards.

"Whatever it is, we shouldn't stay to find out!"

Miria nodded in agreement. She transferred her full powers in the katana she acquired shortly after the events of Delta City.

Jumping up, she then dragged the katana through the skies.

RIPPPP

The space split open, and a tunnel to the outside world emerged, running through multiple dimensions.

The eyes of the Alphas brightened. They could see the sky of Earth in the tunnel!

"Her space powers are amazing!" Alan praised her. "No wonder she had succeeded in pushing Extermination out of Earth!"

Miria landed back on the ground and joined Mountain Lord and Crimson Wolf.

The fabric of space here was strong despite the events so far, and slashing through multiple dimensions took a heavy toll on her. But she didn't mind the efforts as it would save not only her and her friends but also other Alphas. Something necessary if humanity has to survive in these changing times.

"We can leave now," Miria said as she put the katana in the scabbard.

"I'm afraid it is not only you guys who can leave."

"!!" Miria, Mountain Lord, and Crimson Wolf turned around. Kiba arrived some distance away from them.

"What do you mean?" Miria asked without showing any emotions.

Kiba pointed at the tombs.

Miria's head snapped at the tombs, and she was shocked by what she saw.

Amidst the dazzling explosions, hundreds of corpses crawled out of the tombs and dragged their bodies to the space tunnel!

Miria wasn't the type to be frightened or awestruck by the powers of others. Otherwise, she wouldn't have faced Extermination when almost all Alphas and World Government remained mute spectators.

But now she was frightened. Not for her safety, but for humanity!
