Chapter 1873: Chapter 1059: A False Reunion_2

“Correct answer.”

The “First Blood Clan Queen” wore a smug look, raised her eyebrows, and said, “But unfortunately, you are about to die.”

“Boastful words, without finding the real sister, no one can stop us!”

The Scarlet Queen snorted coldly and shouted, “Reveal your goal quickly, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“Noisy, this is the world of consciousness, and I am the ruler of this world!”

The “First Blood Clan Queen” sneered, as several blood-colored chains rose from the ground, directly imprisoning the Scarlet Queen.

“Damn it, let go of me!”

Caught off guard, the Scarlet Queen’s face was ferocious, she struggled to break the blood chains, but more emerged from the ground, soon making her unable to move at all.

“Little Illusion, do we stand a chance?”

As the Scarlet Queen struggled, Leo Ray slowly stepped back, and asked Little Illusion.

Before everything was clear, Leo Ray naturally wouldn’t do anything foolish like being a hero saving a damsel in distress.

“My Lord, the role of this simple Sleeping Array is just to establish a link with the opponent’s consciousness, and to enter the opponent’s consciousness world. Although I have set up several backdoors to save lives, they can only ensure our safe departure.”

Little Illusion leaned against Leo Ray’s ear and whispered, “In theory, it’s indeed difficult to defeat the opponent, but I will quietly attempt something. No matter how powerful that guy is, he’s just a consciousness, incapable of causing much trouble.”

“Understood, then let me buy some time until you can defeat the enemy and find out the truth.”

Grasping some confidence, Leo Ray first turned to the struggling Scarlet Queen and said, “Your Majesty, since the opponent is the ruler here, we don’t need to continue resisting.”

“But…”

The Scarlet Queen’s body was completely bound by over a dozen blood-colored chains. Although she didn’t know Leo Ray’s plan, she ultimately nodded helplessly and said, “Understood, then I’ll obey His Royal Highness the Holy Lion.”

“This Holy Lion Prince seems quite sensible.”

The “First Blood Clan Queen” turned her gaze to Leo Ray with a smile, “After all, it’s death either way, if you behave, perhaps I can make it easier for you.”

“Surely, Your Excellency knows our purpose, right?”

Leo Ray did not respond to her words but asked, “Is there no room for negotiation?”

“Are you talking about stopping the supply of Blood Essence?”

The “First Blood Clan Queen” lifted her eyelids and said indifferently, “This place has lost hope, shouldn’t it be destroyed?”

“Lost hope? Are you talking nonsense?”

The Scarlet Queen’s eyes opened wide, and she said solemnly, “Ever since the successful enactment of the Blood Feast Ritual for a hundred years, the Ironhand Archipelago has been thriving and prospering, with people living and working in peace, how can you talk about losing hope?”

“Is that really the case?”

The “First Blood Clan Queen” gave the Scarlet Queen a sidelong glance, snorted coldly, “Perhaps as the King, you already sensed it.”

“After forcibly severing ties with the Human various countries, though people want for nothing, gaining healthy bodies and extended lifespans, they are completely trapped on this land, which has become an isolated island.”

“If people never saw the outside world, this place could be called a paradise, yet what you did was merely severing the wings of birds yearning for the sky, casting them into a cage.”

“Once a bird soars through the sky, it won’t accept confinement, much less losing the chance to spread its wings.”

The “First Blood Clan Queen” spoke with an even tone, “A place no help can reach, isn’t it better to destroy it early?”

“Nonsense!”

The Scarlet Queen’s blood-red eyes were filled with anger, she retorted, “You’re just a mysterious consciousness, what do you understand?”

“Not only among ordinary citizens, but even within the Blood Clan, isn’t there opposition to the Blood Feast Ritual’s self-imprisonment?”

The “First Blood Clan Queen” smiled coldly, continued, “For instance, the Black Duke once proposed intentionally thinning the Human Clan population within the Blood Feast Barrier, hoping to enhance its effect. Yet, you and the Spirit Wand Prince rejected it.”

“After repeated unsuccessful attempts, it was inevitable for the Black Duke to flee from Ironhand Archipelago with his confidants?”

Hearing this, Leo Ray came to a sudden realization and nodded.

It turned out the Black Duke opposed the Scarlet Queen’s political views, thus choosing to assist the Great Prince’s group, seeking allies from outside to solve Ironhand Archipelago’s problems.

However, the Black Duke’s proposal was indeed outrageous. Destroying him was indeed an act of justice.

“These things happened recently, how do you know?”

The Scarlet Queen was taken aback, amazed.

Just as the opponent said, within the Blood Clan, especially in recent years, debates about the Blood Feast Ritual’s self-imprisonment have never ceased.

More and more Blood Clan members believe the Blood Feast Ritual didn’t meet expectations because it covers too many people, reducing the Barrier’s effectiveness, leading to the current awkward situation.

Among them, the Black Duke led a radical group, proposing the straightforward and ruthless plan above.

This was strongly opposed by the Scarlet Queen.

Her sister sacrificed herself for the people, how could she be so ruthless?

Seeing the Scarlet Queen’s utterly shocked expression, the “First Blood Clan Queen” coldly smiled, “Now that you understand, it’s no harm to speak though. Actually, the Blood Feast Ritual has side effects during its enactment.”

“It allows the sacrificial victim as the Array Eye to sense, to a certain extent, the negative emotions, thoughts, even memories of each individual within the Barrier.”

“Although the sacrificial victim loses self-awareness, becoming nearly unaffected by these consciousnesses, your sister is an exception.”

“Although she is of the Blood Clan, her heart is too good and persistent, leading her, although her consciousness is sealed by the Barrier, to still care for the people inside.”

“Thus, after years of unconsciously accepting vast amounts of negative information, I was born.”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray pondered and nodded.

With this, everything begins to make sense.

Firstly, the current situation here naturally resulted from accepting large amounts of negative memories.

Piecing these scattered memories together to create a consciousness space similar to reality isn’t difficult.

As for the opponent’s identity, it’s clearly akin to the “First Blood Clan Queen’s Heart Demon.”

The Heart Demon replacing the unconscious First Blood Clan Queen stopped the supply of Blood Essence, which isn’t surprising.

“So, you’re a byproduct of my sister’s unconsciousness?”

The Scarlet Queen quickly understood everything, frowned, and said, “Give up quickly, your sinister plot will not succeed.”

“Talking nonsense, originally that person had her heart’s door shut tight; I could never fully occupy her body, escaping the fate of being the Array Eye.”

The Heart Demon’s pale face twisted, a wicked smile, “But now, if I kill her dearest sister, her heart’s door will collapse. Then I can erase her consciousness and become the master of this body!”

“How vicious you are!”

Hearing this, the Scarlet Queen’s usually calm, pale face finally showed a hint of panic.

However, the blood-red chains binding her prevented any movement.

“Ha ha ha, die!”

Amidst the piercing laughter, when the Heart Demon was filled with killing aura, rushed towards the Scarlet Queen.

A tall figure wielding a Longsword had already shielded the helpless Scarlet Queen, it was the calm-faced Leo Ray.

Leo Ray first swung a fierce X slash at the opponent, forcing her attack back, and then said indifferently, “Sorry, your sweet dreams won’t come true.”
