577: Chapter 625 Anke is resurrected!

Within the Limping Dragon Clan's consciousness.

In the vast, star-dotted void.

An Ke and the Limping Dragon Clan floated in the void, facing each other.

"Even I cannot glimpse that high-tier world in the universe, yet you, an ant, claim you can?"

The Limping Dragon Clan's tone was majestic, his voice like a resounding bell.

As he spoke, an ancient pressure emanated from him.

It was the accumulated energy of ages, the power of knowledge.

This power was enough to make any human tremble.

However, An Ke remained neither servile nor overbearing.

He smiled faintly and said, "Since I say I can, then I definitely can."

"Now you are me, and I am you."

"So, you understand my character; I am a man who always keeps his word."

"That world you cannot set foot in, I will take you there."

The Limping Dragon Clan in front of him fell silent.

Currently, An Ke's consciousness had entered his, merging and forming a connection.

So he knew clearly that An Ke was not lying.

In reality, the Limping Dragon Clan was not truly himself now, but another An Ke who had gained the Limping Dragon Clan's memories.

It was just that this 'An Ke' possessed the Limping Dragon Clan's personality.

In other words, it was two An Kes with different personalities conversing.

"Heh..."

The Limping Dragon Clan 'An Ke' suddenly chuckled softly, his former majesty gone.

"To be honest, even if I still disagree, you will ultimately control the dominant personality, won't you?"

"Exactly!" An Ke nodded faintly.

"It's precisely because of this confidence that I came to do this."

"If I didn't have absolute certainty, I wouldn't risk my consciousness being overwritten to forcibly enter your body."

"If that's the case, why bother telling me so much? Couldn't you have just taken my consciousness directly?" The Limping Dragon Clan's voice was low, somewhat annoyed.

He felt An Ke was toying with him, looking down on him.

"Oh dear! Don't be angry," An Ke shrugged.

"I actually don't like fighting and killing."

"I prefer making friends with people."

"So, I still want to persuade you to willingly hand over control."

"And if I don't agree, what will you do next?" asked the Limping Dragon Clan 'An Ke'.

An Ke smiled enigmatically, "What do you think will happen?"

The Limping Dragon Clan 'An Ke''s mouth twitched.

What else could happen?

He would definitely be directly overwritten by An Ke's main personality.

Originally, a Soul Swap wouldn't result in this situation.

But because the Limping Dragon Clan was already dead.

Therefore, he had no soul, and his personality naturally couldn't enter An Ke's body.

This led to the Limping Dragon Clan's personality (consciousness, memory) clashing with An Ke in the sea of consciousness.

"Alas! So be it!"

The Limping Dragon Clan sighed.

"Anyway, resisting or not, the outcome is the same."

"I am already a dead man; I might as well continue my slumber in peace."

With that, the Limping Dragon Clan 'An Ke' closed his eyes.

But then, An Ke's clear voice came:

"Thank you for yielding."

"However, you don't need to accept your fate. I told you, I will take you to see that world you cannot reach."

"Again, I keep my word."

The Limping Dragon Clan suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze sharpened, "You mean..."

"Exactly!" An Ke laughed heartily.

"But before that, I need to borrow your body."

"Only then can I reclaim my original body."

Originally, An Ke's body was much smaller than the Limping Dragon Clan 'An Ke''s body.

However, at this moment, An Ke's body continuously expanded, growing larger and larger.

Like an ever-expanding universe, it directly covered the entire sea of consciousness.

...

[20 seconds until complete machine shutdown.]

[19 seconds!]

[18, 17...]

On the laboratory floor, Nicole, now a wreckage, began the final countdown of her 'life'.

She failed to connect to the terminal, which meant this shutdown would be her complete demise.

However, just then, she heard the gurgling sound of water bubbles again.

[Is it another hallucination...]

"Hmm?"

"It doesn't seem to be a hallucination..."

Nicole suddenly heard the sound of violently bubbling water.

She forced herself to look with her last shred of energy.

She saw bubbles boiling in the High-Sequence Organism's cultivation chamber.

Her eyes widened slightly, "A-a miracle appeared?!"

"Oh~"

"A miracle has appeared, Nicole."

"Thank you for holding on until the end."

The voice drifted over, not An Ke's voice, but a deep, muffled tone.

But Nicole, for some reason, felt it was An Ke.

Suddenly, through her blurry vision, a burly figure abruptly appeared in her sight.

The figure bent slightly, reaching out and grasping Nicole's sole remaining arm.

The moment her hand was seized, Nicole saw her 'life' countdown stop.

"This is..."

Before Nicole could question it, she felt herself suddenly pulled.

Her entire body was pulled upright.

"Eh?!"

Nicole exclaimed in surprise, instinctively stumbling.

The next second, she suddenly felt her feet on the ground, steadying herself.

Feet?

Nicole was stunned.

Her body was mostly damaged; where could she have feet?

When she looked down.

She saw her body had already been perfectly restored.

Crucially, she possessed fair, delicate skin and a perfect maiden's physique, with faint veins visible in her hands.

However, none of this mattered.

What mattered was... she felt a heartbeat.

Beneath her chest, a heart was beating powerfully.

Nicole stood frozen, "Th-this is..."

"A heart."

She raised her eyes in disbelief and saw the tall body of the Limping Dragon Clan standing before her.

His appearance was completely unfamiliar, but the smile he showed made Nicole feel familiar.

"Nicole, I did it."

"Do you feel what it's like to have a 'heart' now?"

Unfortunately, no one could see any of this yet.

Because An Ke's body was judged as dead.

Therefore, his livestream perspective had disappeared.

...

Outside the Experimental Tower.

Due to the intervention of the Super Lord, diamond, and Wild Demon Vine,

coupled with the Mecha Armor Race who were already trying to stop everyone,

King Kong, Tiger Mom, Sister-in-law Crocodile, and the others couldn't hold on for long and were soon heavily injured and collapsed on the ground.

Leopard Mom, currently the strongest fighter, also found it difficult to endure the combined assault of the four S-Class Civilization contestants and was severely wounded.

The Essence Devourer Beast also returned to the mouth on the palm.

However, the Super Lord, diamond, and Wild Demon Vine were not having an easy time either.

They all had injuries of varying degrees.

"They are truly troublesome opponents."

Leopard Mom's strength surprised them.

But the outcome was already decided.

Two Super Lords slowly approached Leopard Mom.

Since she killed Super Lord K, the two of them would make Leopard Mom pay with her life.

The other animals, after intense combat, were already unable to intervene.

Just as everyone closed their eyes in despair, a beam of energy suddenly shot up from the Experimental Tower, piercing the sky.
