Colonial Suit

"Smack!"

Lier couldn't hold back any longer, and for the third time, her hand lashed out. (Search Baidu for the fastest novel updates) With a crisp sound, Salek flew out once more, drawing a bright red line of blood in the air.

This time, Lier showed no mercy, almost snapping Salek's neck. The subsequent burst of energy shattered Salek's ancient armor, revealing the bloody body beneath. For the first time, Salek was exposed to the sunlight without the protection of his armor.

What a terrifying man…

If an ordinary person were here, they would surely faint at the sight of Salek's body. His massive frame was completely devoid of skin. Everywhere one looked, there were writhing tendons and blood vessels. The thick tendons twitched, like struggling worms on the verge of death. Near his limbs, many exoskeletons covered him, forming a protective layer like bone armor. A large hole gaped in his chest, clearly revealing the complex internal organs and two enormous hearts!!

Salek's body structure was completely different from that of an ordinary person!!

But even as strong as he was, Lier's strike nearly shattered him. When he crashed into the ice wall behind him, blood sprayed out in a large circle, a shocking sight.

This time, Salek did not immediately rise. Instead, he lay prostrate on the ground, writhing in pain.

Lier's power was simply too great. And it wasn't just pure physical strength; the energy and mental power she possessed nearly destroyed Salek's structure. This was partly because Lier herself was too powerful, and partly because Salek was awakened by Lier, creating a suppression at the genetic level.

To put it bluntly, despite Salek's usual dominance, if he dared to lay a finger on Lier, a thousand of him wouldn't be enough for Lier to play with using a single finger. This was the absolute effect produced by genetic-level suppression.

"My… My Lord…" Salek painfully curled up, still gritting his teeth as he called out. Looking at his current state, where was his usual imposing demeanor? He looked more like an abandoned child, exuding loneliness and helplessness from the inside out.

Chapter 543: I am Guilty, But I am Not Wrong

"Tap, tap, tap…"

The sound of Lier's high heels echoed crisply on the ice as she walked to Salek.

"You…" Lier paused, then asked, "Still don't recognize your mistake…?" Salek responded with silence.

In fact, both of them knew that if Salek gave the wrong answer again, Lier would definitely destroy him. This was not just about disobedience; it was the imprint of the law of the jungle. Lier would never allow a subordinate who did not obey her to exist. And Salek's behavior was tantamount to betrayal.

The cold wind howled in the sky. The air temperature seemed to drop to its limit.

Lier crouched down in front of Salek and extended a flawless, jade-white right hand.

Her fingers danced across Salek's gruesome tendons, but Lier's expression remained calm and unwavering.

"You were the first one I awakened. Even now, I still remember how weak and close to death you looked when I awakened you."

"My Lord…" Salek gasped, about to speak, but spat out another mouthful of blood. His entire being seemed to wither.

Lier seemed not to notice, continuing to speak to herself. "You know, I've never seen such a weak child as you. Even in my cold shelter, no one was weaker than you."

"I thought at the time that since I awakened you, I should be responsible for you. So, I gave you a strong physique and a strong will. I used half of my energy at the time to make you a strong person, so that you would no longer have to worry about death, no longer be ridiculed. I know this appearance is not good-looking, but I also know that in this cruel world, only power is real. You should understand this better than I do."

"I thought you would be like Murdoch, becoming my right-hand man. So, I made you a Prince, to manage the growing mutant civilization on my behalf."

Lier's fingers danced, passing over Salek's forearm, over his abdomen, and then over his chest. Finally, they stopped on his cheek. Salek's face was terrifying, like a skinned head. But Lier's expression seemed not to notice. Even her voice became gentle, as gentle as a mother's murmur.

"But, how have you repaid me?"

"You are headstrong and refuse to listen to advice. You advocate violence and use the power I gave you to do whatever you want. You are irritable and intolerant of disobedience. Because of your mistakes, even I have to change my plans again and again. But I have always thought of your helplessness and loneliness at that time, and tolerated you. I thought you would be loyal to me."

"But what was the result?"

"You keep talking about the race, about the mutant civilization…" Lier's fingers stopped moving, finally resting on Salek's neck. "But…"

"You touched my most precious memory!!!"

Her fingers suddenly clenched, and Lier actually lifted Salek up. Although Salek was much larger than her in size, at this moment, Lier was like a demon walking out of hell, exuding endless terror. Compared to her, although Salek was much larger in size, he was as small as an ant, unspeakably fragile.

"You actually dare to violate my taboo!!!"

Violent anger overwhelmed Lier like a landslide. At this moment, no one dared to doubt her anger! Her anger could even surpass a volcano and engulf the sky! Fiery red flames radiated from her body, spreading like a flood, instantly leveling the entire peak. All the ice and rocks blocking the flames instantly vaporized, and the entire peak was shrouded in white mist.

In this rising white mist, Lier raised Salek above her head, her slender fingers clenching fiercely.

In just an instant, her fingers sank deeply into Salek's skin, almost snapping his neck.

"Even today, you still don't admit your mistake?"

"Salek!!"

Lier roared, staring directly into Salek's eyes. She wanted to see fear, confusion, and begging in them.

But she was disappointed.

Even under such terrible pressure, Salek's eyes remained calm. His body swayed with Lier's hand, like a broken flag.

"My Lord…"

Salek gasped for breath. Each word seemed to exhaust all his strength. Even his life seemed to be taken away by Lier's hands. But he still answered word by word.

"I am wrong…"

"But this is by no means selfish."

"I will not forget your gift, but I know even more… what I returned to this world for! You may be able to control my life and death, everything about me. But you cannot control our desires. That is not my desire alone, but the desire of the thousands of mutants who were awakened by you and exist because of you. You are our Lord, our God, and even our only hope. We can lose our lives, we can lose our bodies. We can even lose our souls… but we must never lose you."

"You said that you gave us everything, but doesn't that prove that we have nothing? In this cold world, only you can protect us, lead us, and let us experience the only warmth and dignity."

When he said the last word, Salek was almost fainting. The muscles all over his body twitched uncontrollably, unspeakably disgusting and terrifying. A large amount of blood flowed out of his body, quickly staining a large area of ice and rock red. The interweaving of red and white was so shocking.

But he was still struggling, like a reptile abandoned in the ice and snow. Humble and… strong.

Looking at Lier's bright eyes, he trembled and slowly raised his right hand, little by little, and placed it on Lier's right hand.

Lier's pupils shrank suddenly, and a raging roar surged in her heart. Could it be that Salek dared to resist her?

Resist her, the mother who awakened and raised him?

At the thought of this, Lier's heart suddenly turned cold, and layers of killing intent surged. Her slender fingers slowly clenched, and with just a little more force, she would snap Salek's neck!!

But just as Lier made up her mind, she saw Salek's hand pass over her fingers and slowly retract.

Finally, it returned to his chest.

At this moment, Salek's chest was covered in blood, and the protective exoskeleton was completely shattered, revealing his huge chest cavity. As he retracted his hand, it went directly through the broken exoskeleton and deep into his chest cavity. His thick fingers were entangled with flesh and blood, unspeakably terrifying and disgusting.

But from another perspective, what a tragic pain that was.

It was hard to describe the pain of a person putting their hand deep into their chest cavity. And behind this pain, what a cruelty and determination. Even Lier frowned, wondering why Salek did this.

In her doubtful gaze, Salek suddenly smiled, the muscles on his face twitching in a particularly terrifying way.

"My Lord…"

"I didn't want to violate your majesty. But that day, I had to make a choice. Was it for the future of the race, or for your personal will? I considered it for a long time. But there was only one result. Maybe this is not the loyalty you want. But my Lord, I still remember the pain and despair, loneliness and confusion when you awakened me."

"You awakened us to no longer be alone. You summoned us to create an ideal country. We woke up because of you, crawled out of that cold tomb. But we don't want to go back."

"For this reason, I shielded your memory. Not for selfish desires, just not wanting another person to take away your love for us."

Saying that, Salek gave Lier one last look, then suddenly exerted force with his right hand, grabbing his heart.

The next moment, he pulled out his heart and offered it to Lier.

Blood splattered everywhere, and behind it was Salek's calm gaze.

"My Lord!!"

Salek's painful face was distorted, but he still shouted.

"I am guilty!!"

"My sin! Unforgivable!! I never ask for forgiveness!!"

"But… I will bear my own sins! But please don't be angry with everyone because of my sins!! Please, continue to lead us!! Lead us, these lonely, futureless ghosts, to build our own home!!"

"I am willing to fall into hell, not seeking forgiveness!"

His fingers suddenly clenched, and right before Lier's eyes, Salek crushed his own heart!! (To be continued) rq!!!
