Chapter 991: Chapter 750: The Return of the Silver Light
"Long Yi! Don’t kill me! I know many ancient secrets of the powerhouses! I am willing to share all those secrets with you!" Yilante urgently said.
"Rest assured, even if I kill you, I can still obtain those secrets." Little Zi appeared beside Long Yi.
Yilante immediately realized that in front of a female demon, he had absolutely no secrets!
"Wait! I have some other secrets! These secrets aren’t in my soul! Even if you interrogate my soul, you won’t be able to get them!" Yilante shouted.
"What secrets?" Long Yi asked.
"Let me go, and I will tell you!"
"Forget it, I’m not interested."
As he spoke, Long Yi’s hand pressed onto Yilante’s head. Yilante suddenly felt a terrifying giant force squeezing his skull, making it crackle!
"I know the hiding place of the Ancient Mage Tower!" Yilante had to call out.
"Oh?"
Long Yi looked back at Little Zi and Ai Lin, and both girls immediately became interested.
"Go on," Long Yi released his hand.
Yilante knew that he did not have to die for the time being.
"Let me go first."
"Look, I’m just interested in this matter. But whether it can save your life, that depends on whether what you say next is worth it," Long Yi said, unmoved.
At this moment, Yilante finally understood what it meant to want to cry but have no tears. He had lurked for hundreds of years, splitting himself into two avatars, enhancing and honing himself through constant battle. He had not expected that just as he recovered himself, he would be suppressed by this field. Yilante could imagine that Delas must’ve used this Suppression Field against Long Yi, never expecting that Long Yi and his companions were not afraid of it at all.
"Alas! When my two avatars wandered throughout the planes, one day near a certain planet, I found a spatial rift, so one of my avatars, Yilan, took the risk to explore it. It turned out that beyond the plane was a world that did not belong to this plane. The Ancient Mage Tower stood there, and the mages were coming in and out around it, seemingly busy with something. At that time, my strength was not enough, nor did I want to disturb them, so I quietly left. But over the next few hundred years, I visited that place multiple times and found that the spatial rift was always there, and the Ancient Mage Tower often appeared there!"
Yilante said.
"Is that all?" Long Yi asked.
"Yes, that’s all," Yilante said.
"Alright, I think what you’ve said is rather interesting, you may go," Ai Lin said, as she directly withdrew the Mana Suppression Field, and Yilante felt his body suddenly relax.
Long Yi and Ai Lin turned to leave, and the Red Demon Scorpion transformed back into an ornament.
Did you really think I would just leave like this?
The expression on Yilante’s face gradually turned ferocious!
"Go to hell!"
Yilante bellowed, charging directly at Long Yi, yet he passed right through Long Yi’s body.
"See, I knew this bastard definitely wouldn’t let it go,"
a smile ensued.
It was then that Yilante realized that his body was still sprawled on the ground, ashen-faced, long dead! And now he was nothing more than a soul!
"I’m sorry, but it seems you’re not fit to continue living."
Long Yi shook his head as he said this.
Yilante’s soul screamed as Little Zi crushed it, vanishing without a trace.
Then Long Yi crouched down and removed the bracelet from Yilante’s wrist.
"The Twin Bracelets, invented by a giant child who wanted to play while doing homework. A simple and effective structure with no side effects,"
a line appeared on the giant’s tablet.
Long Yi infused it with the giant’s power and, after a careful examination, placed it on Ai Lin’s wrist.
"For me again?" Ai Lin asked, smiling at Long Yi.
"Of course, until I find a way to restore you, I will give you everything that can make you stronger," Long Yi said.
Ai Lin felt sweetness in her heart, knowing that Long Yi was doing this for her own good, so she did not demur.
"Let me try it!"
Ai Lin closed her eyes, felt for the usage of the Twin Bracelets, and then began to infuse them with Mana.
The bracelets emitted a humming sound, and Ai Lin’s body began to blur.
Gradually, the single silver figure in front of Long Yi turned into two!
The light faded.
The Cosmic Stone fragments that had been embedded in Ai Lin’s silver armor all fell to the ground, and the Cosmic Stone Armguard did the same. They merged into a black Cosmic Stone sphere.
At this moment, two identical Ai Lins stood before Long Yi. They had the same figure, the same face, the same silver hair, and even the same silver tight-fitting soft armor.
"Ai Lin?"
One Ai Lin looked at the other with a surprised expression on her face.
"Silverlight!"
The other Ai Lin was stunned for a moment, then hugged the Ai Lin beside her and burst into tears.
"Silverlight?"
Long Yi’s eyes suddenly bulged in disbelief.
After crying for a while, Ai Lin finally gathered herself, and Silverlight, who had the same appearance as Ai Lin, came to Long Yi’s side with her.
"Brother Long! Silverlight is back!" Ai Lin said with red eyes and a smile.
"Beautiful!" Long Yi gave a thumbs up.
"No, it’s not right to say she’s back. Actually, I’ve never left," Silverlight said.
It turned out that the reason here was very complex. Ultimately, Ai Lin and Silverlight had already completely merged into one. Whether it was their bodies or souls, Silverlight had given everything to Ai Lin in order to save her, and their relationship was far more intimate than Long Yi had imagined. When Long Yi ascended that day, Ai Lin left with him, and Silverlight’s Dragon Soul immediately returned to Ai Lin’s body to sleep. Although Silverlight had tried many times to wake up, she had never succeeded.
Now, the Twin Bracelets forcibly pulled Silverlight’s soul out of Ai Lin’s body. And with Silverlight’s soul came Ai Lin’s Shadow Silver!
Ai Lin once again felt an unprecedented affinity with mana, but none of it compared to Silverlight reappearing before her.
"Alright, you two look the same, have the same figure, and I bet your language habits are identical too. How am I supposed to tell you apart?"
"Idiot, one has mana, the other doesn’t!" Ai Lin with red eyes said.
Indeed, although Silverlight now had a human form, her body was made of Shadow Silver, a metal with unparalleled inertness that did not allow any energy to pass through.
"I don’t know why, but I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot," Long Yi chuckled foolishly.
"Really? How did you hit the jackpot?" Little Zi moved closer and asked.
"Just a feeling, like I’ve hit the jackpot everywhere," Long Yi said while swallowing hard as he gazed at the picturesque scenery.
"Pervert!" Ai Lin glared at Long Yi, then handed the Suppression Magic Cube to Silverlight and gave her the Universal Tool as well, then she picked up the Cosmic Stone from the ground and gave it all to Silverlight.
"Why are you giving me all these?" Silverlight asked with a puzzled look on her face that was identical to Ai Lin’s.
"You’re no longer a dragon now. These things are obviously for you to protect yourself," Ai Lin said matter-of-factly.
"But I don’t have the strength of a Giant, nor do I have mana. Even if you give me these things, I can’t use them. Besides, I do have the ability to protect myself," said Silverlight.
"Are you talking about the Shadow Silver? Isn’t your body supposed to be like a Fairy Dragon, same as Ai Lin? You definitely have mana, but Shadow Silver limits your ability to use it. You used to be immune to physical damage, but that’s not the case anymore, right?" Long Yi said.
"No," Silverlight said, "on the contrary, I can do even better."
As it turned out, although Silverlight’s soul had been sleeping within Ai Lin’s body, her mind had been constantly thinking about and studying one thing: Shadow Silver, which had been with Silverlight since her childhood. One could say that her understanding of Shadow Silver surpassed that of anyone else, and most importantly, because of her fusion with Ai Lin, she had the same knowledge and intelligence. When she applied all of this intellect and knowledge to the study of Shadow Silver, she eventually came to an astonishing conclusion.
Shadow Silver was not inert to energy. Instead, this mysterious metal naturally arranged extremely fine arrays, which combined in a very complex manner to form a special force field. The range of this field was tiny, only a few millimeters above the surface of the Shadow Silver. Whenever energy approached, the arrays would absorb the energy and generate energy opposite to the invading energy. As a result, no energy was left after the collision, which led everyone to believe it was inert; but in reality, it was not so.
"With my improvements, I can now adjust the tiny arrays in Shadow Silver to do many things, such as making it incredibly sturdy."
As she spoke, Silverlight raised her hand, activating a spell. The Shadow Silver on her arm, which should have been extremely soft, instantly became extremely hard.
Long Yi tried but found that he couldn’t even bend a finger of Silverlight by sheer brute force!
"Impressive!" Long Yi uttered in admiration. Then he channeled his Fighting Aura into his hand, but the moment it touched Silverlight’s finger, it was completely absorbed!
"Now, do you think I have the ability to protect myself?" Silverlight said with a smile.
"Definitely! Absolutely!" Long Yi had to admit that this single characteristic was powerful enough.
"That’s great! This way we can fight side by side!" Ai Lin and Silverlight hugged each other happily.
This time, Long Yi didn’t take his own grand explorer vessel but instead transferred to a public spacecraft halfway through the journey back.
When Long Yi disembarked from the spacecraft, Emperor Saint Danze, who came to greet him, noticed that Long Yi’s complexion wasn’t very good and seemed fatigued.
"Mr. Long Yi, was the battle very tough?" Saint Danze asked in a soft voice.
"Tough? I fought side by side with two identical enemies!" Long Yi said, still shaken.
"Yes! I’ve also heard that Yilan and Yite are twins and very difficult to deal with," Saint Danze said, looking behind him. But he saw two identical Ai Lins getting off the spacecraft.
He couldn’t help but rub his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. The twins’ tight-fitting soft armor, which had previously been engraved with arrays and runes, was now gone. Apart from that, there were no discernible differences in their appearance, stature, or mannerisms!
"Mr. Long Yi! How come I see two Miss Ailins?" Saint Danze grabbed someone and asked.
"That one is her sister, called Silverlight." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
