Chapter 640: Who Are You!
Su Chen couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the person who had just appeared was none other than Leng Yuwei.
However, this Leng Yuwei was completely different from the one he remembered. When he had first met her, she had been aloof with a bit of a temper. But after the incident at the Gathering Place, where he had saved her, she had undergone a significant transformation.
When he was with Leng Yuwei, her cold demeanor had completely vanished, replaced by a constant smile. She was nothing like the frosty Leng Yuwei standing before him now.
What was even more perplexing was that Leng Yuwei had once told him that, despite being known as the "Red Rose" in the past, she actually despised the color red.
So, how could this Leng Yuwei be dressed entirely in red?
With Leng Yuwei awake, what about Spectral Moth?
Su Chen immediately contacted Spectral Moth to inquire about the situation with Leng Yuwei.
"Commander, I don't know either. Just a short while ago, I was absorbing the excess Psychic power from her, and then suddenly I felt a sharp pain, and she disappeared," Spectral Moth said innocently.
It seemed that Leng Yuwei had indeed awakened, but something appeared to be wrong with her in her awakened state.
Rather than hastily contacting Leng Yuwei, Su Chen continued to observe the situation on the screen. At this close distance, voices could be heard through the transmission.Above them, the Winged Clan Divine Envoy Lavis felt that Mother Star was being insulted by Leng Yuwei. He directly released a beam of light toward her, and it seemed like it could penetrate Leng Yuwei in the blink of an eye.
However, Lavis's expression soon froze as he saw the beam of light he had released stop right in front of Leng Yuwei.
"The power of light... Have you stolen power that doesn't belong to you?" Leng Yuwei reached out and grabbed the beam of light.
The consciousness of the Winged Clan Mother Star wavered for a moment. She hadn't expected the other party to discern some of her secrets.
For a planet to give birth to its own consciousness was exceedingly difficult, requiring not only the birth of many civilizations but also the absorption of certain unique powers. Light was one such power, and even in the cosmos, the power of light was quite formidable.
Most importantly, the power of light was extremely rare. Even the Winged Clan Mother Star hadn't initially possessed it. It had acquired and expanded this power by stealing what didn't belong to it.
At this moment, the Winged Clan Mother Star suddenly felt that the woman before her was terrifying. With just one glance, she had seen through her power, a situation she had never encountered before.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Leng Yuwei smiled faintly, "Well, I don't like to waste time on words. As a 'bug,' you should have some self-awareness."
With that, she extended the thumb and forefinger of her right hand, making a gesture as if crushing a bug, and exerted pressure.
Splurt!
In an instant, the body of the Winged Clan Divine Envoy exploded, and he died.
Su Chen was left in astonishment. The Winged Clan Divine Envoy, whom he couldn't have defeated even with his full strength, had been dispatched so easily by Leng Yuwei. What level had she reached? Was it Large Galaxy Ninth Tier or even Constellation-level?
This was beyond belief!
Leng Yuwei had been below Small Galaxy level before she fell into a coma, and now she had awakened as such a formidable expert. It was simply inconceivable.
"Congratulations, Master, on completing the mission and staying alive," the System's voice confirmed that the Winged Clan Divine Envoy was indeed finished.
The Winged Clan Divine Envoy was dead, but this time, his losses were too severe. Just as he was about to inform his subordinates to prepare for a tally, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing before him.
"Yuwei, you've finally awakened. Is there anything wrong with your body...?" Su Chen was about to reach out to her when an invisible barrier stopped him.
Leng Yuwei stood there, her demeanor cold and noble, emanating an aura that warned others to keep their distance. The way she looked at him was like she was regarding an ordinary person.
"Su Chen, a mere human, dared to take liberties with my body while my consciousness was still dormant. Have you considered how you're going to die?" Her icy voice seemed to carry a certain power that made Su Chen feel as if his entire body was freezing.
At first, Su Chen couldn't react, but soon he seemed to realize something, and his expression became strange and incredulous.
"You're not Yuwei. Who are you?"
Su Chen shouted loudly. If he had initially felt something was amiss, he was now certain that the person before him was not Leng Yuwei.
Suddenly, an image flashed in his mind. It was the two fragments he had obtained earlier: one with an image of a woman's right hand, and the other with a left foot wearing a red high heel. The appearance of that high heel was identical to the one Leng Yuwei was wearing now!
The woman gave a cold smile. "I never expected that after my slumber, a second consciousness would be born, and I would end up with a human man. It disgusts me! Leng Yuwei is not my name; I am..."
But at that moment, the woman seemed to pause, her face showing a perplexed expression.
"What is my name? Why can't I remember it?"
"Why do I have only a portion of my memories? Where are the rest of them?"
"My consciousness is incomplete, and fragments carrying my consciousness are scattered elsewhere. Wait, is there another fragment here?"
The woman appeared to have made a discovery and then vanished in an instant.
Hearing what the woman said, Su Chen suddenly realized that she had gone to search for that fragment!
However, within the entire Base, Su Chen had the ability to summon anything directly into his hand, but he rarely used this power.
In an instant, the fragment that Yun Ru had taken for research appeared in his hand, and then the woman's figure reappeared.
"Give me the fragment!"
The woman approached Su Chen, and with her power, crushing him would likely be effortless.
"Give me Yuwei, and I'll give you the fragment," Su Chen stared intently at the woman.
Even though she was using Leng Yuwei's body and looked exactly like her, in his eyes, this was another woman.
"Since you won't give it to me, then go to your death."
The woman wasn't inclined to negotiate, and she reached out toward Su Chen, seemingly intent on killing him.
"Alert! Alert! Master is in mortal danger. According to System protocols, protecting Master is the top priority. Temporarily, Master..."
However, before the System could finish its words, Su Chen noticed a change in the woman's expression.
"You're not allowed to harm him!"
Though it was the same voice, it lacked the previous coldness.
"Yuwei, is that you?" Su Chen's expression changed.
"As my second consciousness, you dare to protect a human? Once I kill him, I will annihilate you!"
The woman was highly dissatisfied with Leng Yuwei's behavior and even threatened to completely annihilate Leng Yuwei's consciousness, showing a great deal of arrogance.
At the same time, the power of the System began to manifest. (To be continued...)
