Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 108 Son of Two Souls

The skill Yi Yin had acquired was called Flash. Although it was called Flash, it was actually more like teleportation. Simply by silently thinking of the desired location, he could be teleported there. Then, depending on the distance he teleported, there would be a corresponding cooldown period.

Yi Yin silently recited in his heart——

Tomb of Time.

.

Xia Lian would never have thought that she would see another version of herself in her lifetime.

The one who lifted the seal from the huge Wheel of Time was a woman who looked very similar to Xia Lian, but with a hint of darkness in her eyes.

The moment she saw that woman, Xia Lian felt like her head was about to explode.

Those sealed memories have now returned in a strange way.

"Sister Xia Lian, are you okay?"

Bubulu was very worried when he saw Xia Lian like this.

"I'm not Xia Lian."

Xia Lian said weakly, "The real Ten Shadow King - 'Xia Lian' is actually her, my master."

"Well, you still have some conscience. You haven't forgotten me, your master, for such a long time."

Xia Lian laughed heartily. "Then, return to your original appearance, Kremlin!"

After saying that, the appearance of "Xia Lian" became distorted. It began to become more than ten times larger than before, and it expanded rapidly, and it could no longer take human form.

"It's the A-rank Psychic monster Kremling!"

After arriving at the Tomb of Time, the last-place team's memories were temporarily sealed for some reason, but Selina still relied on her instinct to explain.

"Kremlin can use the power of 'wishes' to change his own form. He can also exert this power on his opponent, causing them to rewind to their state twelve hours ago! Kremlin must have missed his master too much, so he took on Xia Lian's appearance!"

"good."

Xia Lian praised, "There's another reason. The telepathy between monsters and their masters is beyond your imagination. When that woman and I were imprisoned, Kremling inherited all of my memories and emotions. However, its memory is limited, so it has to periodically clear its stored memories."

"Okay, let's get started."

Albert urged, "As we agreed, I've released your monster and set you free. Now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

promise?

Although no one knew what kind of deal Xia Lian and Albert had made, everyone instinctively felt that it would not be a good thing.

Since Albert has already abandoned his Shadow King spirit, he won't let Xia Lian make the same choice, right?

"Of course. From the moment a monster signs a contract with its master, it becomes bound by all living things and cannot disobey its master's wishes. For example..."

Xia Lian smiled cruelly, "Let Kremlin's ability run wild, and then envelop the entire place with the power of 'Wish'. You will all be reduced to your memories of the womb, losing basic common sense. Just wait for your death."

"So, it was you who asked Kremlin to use his ability on us?" Di Qi asked with a cold face.

"No, I think it's just unconsciously activating its own abilities... but it doesn't matter anymore."

What, Xia Lian plans to erase their memories?

Everyone was terrified. They simply couldn't survive on Blue Star relying solely on their most basic instincts!

At this moment, Xia Lian's expression suddenly changed. She curled up on the ground, trembling all over. Soon after, she seemed like a different person, becoming dignified and elegant, without any of the madness she had just had.

"Stop it, Kremlin. You should have experienced the taste of friendship during your time wandering in the outside world."

Xia Lian's sudden change caught everyone off guard. Kremlin looked at Xia Lian with tears in his eyes and squeezed out two words with difficulty:

"Xia...Lian..."

"I'm here."

Xia Lian looked at everyone and, with a compassionate mood, recounted the strange stories that had happened to her:

Back then, before Xia Lian was even born, her family had already disowned her because her vitality was so strong that she was like two different people.

When Xia Lian was born, there was only one baby, which shocked the family.

There is only one possibility for such a powerful life force to appear in one person, that is, there are two souls in Xia Lian's body.

The family calls the one who first gains consciousness and takes control of the body the elder sister "White Lotus", and the one who gains consciousness later the younger sister "Red Lotus". To outsiders, they are collectively called Summer Lotus.

Xia Lian followed the rules and became the Guardian of Truth. She inherited the A-rank monster, the Chained Devil, from the Guardian era. While it may be a monster, the Chained Devil is more like a part of the Wheel of Time, unable to leave it. Therefore, outsiders believed Xia Lian had no monsters, and dubbed her the "Monster Master without Monsters."

The learned Xia Lian quickly became the youngest of the Ten Shadow Kings, preached at the Cross Base, and even served as Dean Nicol's teacher. However, as Xia Lian grew older, the shortcomings of the Guardian of Truth began to emerge.

Pessimism... world-weariness... negativity...

All these emotions appeared in Honglian. In order to make Honglian happier, Bailian voluntarily gave up half of the control of her body, but this was not enough.

Considering Xia Lian's unique identity, the Monster Master Management Association secretly gave her a monster fruit, from which Kremlin emerged. For a long time, Kremlin lived as Honglian's monster. He possessed terrifying abilities. If Honglian desired, she could cause Kremlin to erase the memories of everyone on Blue Planet.

What’s even worse is that Honglian has begun to show a tendency to do so.

In order to prevent Honglian from making further mistakes, Bailian chose to seal her body. In the Wheel of Time, her time would not change, and she would not die or age, so that no new guardian of truth would be born.

It would be fine if I could just suffer alone, Xia Lian thought.

Before leaving, she entrusted the Key of Time, which could open the Wheel of Time, to her most proud student, Nicole. She also released Kremlin and began a long sleep...

"Later, a mysterious organization noticed me and secretly imprisoned me."

“It wasn’t until that day that I had a chance to escape,” Kremlin said.

"That's how I rescued you."

Albert said calmly, "Xia Lian in the Wheel of Time is not dead. Hong Lian's resentment is growing day by day. In order to regain her freedom, she secretly contacted Ouroboros... As you know, the knowledge in her mind is an endless treasure. As long as she stays in Ouroboros, she will be a walking dictionary. For this reason, I decided to help her."

"When I saw Kremlin, I immediately realized she wasn't Xia Lian. So I decided to play along and have her go to the Cross Base to get the Key of Time. But that idiot couldn't get it after all the hassles. So, I had no choice but to take matters into my own hands and secretly sneak into the Cross Base to get the Key of Time."

It turns out that all this was part of Albert's plan!

His real purpose is to win over the equally weak-willed Ten Shadow Kings in order to strengthen Ouroboros's power!

After saying all this, Xia Lian... no, it should be said that Bai Lian, who now has control over Xia Lian's body, made an expression of being ready to die.

"I thought Honglian would understand my good intentions, but I was wrong. She is still so stubborn. In order not to repeat the same mistake, I will make the same choice as before, but this time, I will destroy the Key of Time so that no one can wake me up."

"Hey, Xia Lian, where is the most basic integrity in life?"

Albert was a little unhappy. "I didn't spend all this time listening to your story of sisterly love. You should go back with me as agreed."

Hearing this, Bai Lian smiled gently, "Promise? What does the promise made by Hong Lian have to do with me, Bai Lian? Besides, who heard it?"

"I'm listening."

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a young man with a turtle on his head appeared from nowhere.

"Iyin! I knew you would come!"

Bubulu cried with joy.

"Who is this little brother?"

Jiaozi looked confused. "How strange! Bubulu seems to have forgotten all about the four-legged beast, but only remembers this guy."
