It's only been two months since the last separation. The xenomorph elder, who was originally full of gorgeous hair and high spirits, now has his hair gone, his teeth are gone, his skin is as ugly as an old tree, and his body is as weak as a candle in the wind, and he has to use all his strength to breathe.

Noticing Todd's gaze, Lawrence grinned his dry mouth and laughed while coughing, "That failed soul link caused irreparable damage to my body. My memories are slowly degrading, and my life is passing by bit by bit. ”

Craura paused for a moment, looked at Todd, whose body was already mostly mutated, and continued: "However, it seems that you are not much better than me......

Glancing at the other party's side, the seemingly weak girl, Todd pulled Rachel behind him without a trace, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing here?!"

"The first reason. Like you, at the last moment of my life, I made a desperate bet hoping to find a way to redeem here. Clorence looked at the tall crowfeather woman on the viewing platform, then turned his attention back, and his eyes became fierce: "Second, there is an account between us, which needs to be calculated!"

"Wait a minute!" Richer shouted towards the platform, "Wouldn't it be a violation of the rules of the millennia to allow such a private fight in the trials of the Shadow Realm?"

The Crowfeather Woman shook her head slightly, "My duty is only to bring the candidates who have passed the trial to my master. As for personal grievances, the Shadow Nation will not interfere. ”

"Richel, I'll settle your account with you later. Clawrence said to Todd: "It seems that the last link that prevented us from resolving the conflict has been solved." ”

The latter looked at the old man's broken body and slow movements, and said in a deep voice, "Lawrence, I don't think you have the strength to stop me. ”

Clorence clasped his hands to his chest and laughed, "King of Twilight! Today, maybe I can teach you what true power is!"

Stretching his withered arms forward, the ground in front of Lawrence began to shake, and the dirt and stones slowly floated and swirled around his body.

The palm flipped, and the earth fossilized into a spiraling hurricane, slamming into Todd's body.

Pieces of cloth scattered, and the robe used to cover Todd's body instantly turned into a pile of strips of cloth and fell to the ground.

"Todd, I've given you many chances, you could have been the emperor of half the world!" Clawrence shouted loudly in the flying sand, "Power, money, women, everything you want, you have it at your fingertips!"

Todd held his steel-skinned arms in front of him, resisting the storm.

"But you chose to give up everything to protect those who are useless!

One of Clawrence's hands reached into the dirt, and a huge stone ball with a diameter of one meter was lifted into the air by him and smashed into Todd's position.

The latter unleashes Haste, which increases the speed of its mutated legs to a point where it is barely visible to the naked eye. The moment before the stone ball fell, it was as if an arrow from the string rushed towards the enemy.

Sharp claws of steel, driven by speed and power, cut through space, igniting the air, leaving several trails of white smoke in their path.

With just one breath, Todd's attack was less than ten centimeters from the tip of Lawrence's nose.

In the next second, a huge subsidence appeared on the ground, and Todd, who had lost the support of the ground, fell into the trap prepared by the other party in advance.

Clorence clasped his palms together, and the earth and stone poured into the gap in the ground, and suddenly turned the bottomless ground into a tombless tomb.

"You're too inexperienced in combat!" said Lawrence, sneering at the tight dirt beneath his feet.

Suddenly, a steel claw reached out from the ground, firmly grasping his ankle.

Todd broke free from the earth's shackles and jumped out of the earth. The claws flipped and left three deep scars on Lawrence's chest.

Clorence, who covered his wounds and retreated again and again, looked at Todd in surprise: "King of Twilight, I am amazed by your progress. ”

Standing on the ground, the mutation slowly spread along Todd's skin, completely eroding his limbs and torso, leaving only his head and neck, which still retained human features.

Clorence reached out his hand, licked the black blood from the wound, and said to Todd with a smile, "One thing you may not know, the more often you use your ability, the more intense it is, the faster you mutate!"

Burning with flames, Todd bit his lip.

"It's time for appetizers...... Claureus smiled and took a few steps back, took a golden copper tube from his bosom, poured half of the liquid into his mouth, and saluted Todd, "Next, it's the turn of the main meal." ”

The potion fell into his abdomen, and Lawrence trembled violently, his body fell to his knees, his hands and feet sinking deep into the soil.

The bones and carrion in the earth, metal like magnets attracted to him, gathered beneath him, and were sucked into Lawrence's body and turned into flesh. And the originally dry and thin body swelled rapidly like a balloon.

Todd looked at the giant of flesh and bones in front of him, slowly straightened up, and took a step back with his round eyes.

"Sutherland's legacy is really a wonderful thing......" The flesh troll, who was two meters tall, looked down at his hands and feet, and said with satisfaction: "As long as you find a suitable way to use it, the mutation is no longer a curse for the heir, but a clarion call for power! ”

"But this is the time to beat you...... More than enough...... "Craving Lawrence's palm to the ground, shaking violently, a crack quickly stretched forward along the ground.

Todd used his speed ability to dodge the attack when dozens of stone spikes suddenly protruded from a crack in the ground, imprisoning him in place.

Just as he was about to struggle to break free, the flesh troll's fist slammed into Todd's body, sending him flying into the air, and then sliding down the ground for a full dozen meters before he could stop.

Clarence took a step toward Todd, the ground trembling beneath his feet.

"I don't understand, I really don't understand. In the face of the temptation of power, why do you still hold on to the concept of human beings!" Claurenus looked at Todd, who was seriously injured on the ground, and shook his head in confusion and roared: "What is Xenomorph?! Xenomorphs are born to be the rulers of the world, and they are different from the existence of lowly species like humans!"

Clawrence stopped in front of Todd, squatted down and looked at the small existence in front of him, his voice was not angry, but a little calm: "Todd, when I was in the Presbyterian Church, I once read the work of a scholar who roughly calculated some numbers about human beings. Since the time of Genesis, human beings have existed for almost 8,000 years, based on the rate of growth and extinction of species, as well as the construction of mathematical models. More than 18 billion human beings have died in war, disease, and accident. And now, with so many kingdoms and cities, the combined population is only 50 million!"

In Lawrence's eyes, there was a rare emotion: "Todd, do you know what this means? Human beings, this kind of thing, after all, is just a kind of consumables, and their birth and death are born to create heroes and gods!"
