Colonial Suit

Meria arrived in a hurry, clearly having just finished some exercise, as evidenced by the slight sweat on her forehead. And atop her fiery red hair sat a small, golden crown, undeniably exquisite and adorable.

However, Sarec's pupils suddenly constricted, and his remaining left hand clenched tightly.

The Crown of Kings!!

That was the crown Murdoch had prepared for the new Empress!!!

Others might not know, but he understood it all too well. That Crown of Kings was actually an auxiliary center connected to the Blood Pool, a kind of secondary brain. As long as the wearer wore this crown, they could connect to the Blood Pool at any time, thereby gaining the Blood Pool's powerful, yet mysterious power.

This was a secondary brain that Maria had specially created for the new Empress, precisely to compensate for the new Empress's weak combat power. After all, in this universe, there were too few women as powerful as Her Majesty Lire. And to rule this kingdom, power was absolutely essential!

Originally, Sarec and Murdoch had agreed to wait until the Empress was confirmed before presenting this crown, but Murdoch had taken a step ahead. This was what had caused Sarec's rage. In his view, the crown's significance far outweighed its function; it belonged to the Empress, even to Lire, as the supreme symbol of authority! Anyone who wore this crown before ascending the throne was disloyal to the Empress and defiant to Lire!!

Not allowed!

Absolutely not allowed!!!

The reason Sarec had mobilized the army was to make Murdoch aware of his mistake.

But as things stood, Murdoch had been severely wounded by him and had fled, his whereabouts unknown, and now a mere woman dared to appear before him wearing the crown. Did they really think the Empress's authority was illusory? Or did they believe that he, the King's Protector, was already past his prime?

Sarec's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his whole demeanor seemed to change.

However, opposite him, Mirror Charm smiled slightly and said softly, "Oh, my dear Prince, it seems your anger is uncontrollable. Then, why not vent it on me? I swear, I can endure anything you want to unleash."

As Mirror Charm spoke, a large amount of darkness spread from her hair, actually enveloping Sarec within it.

In the darkness, Sarec felt a daze, as if the whole world was drifting away from him. Instead, Mirror Charm's seductive female body became clearer and more striking, exuding a captivating charm.

Not far away, the darkness of the hair squirmed slightly, and Meria's figure appeared beside Mirror Charm.

"Dear Sister Mirror Charm, you've finally arrived," Meria said with a smile, a smile that was innocent and happy. The exquisite crown on her head shone with a brilliant luster even in the darkness.

Mirror Charm nodded, reaching out with extreme gentleness to touch the top of Meria's head, revealing a doting smile.

"I promised you, how could I break my word?"

"Hehe. Sister Mirror Charm is the best." Meria smiled and pressed her cheek against Mirror Charm's shoulder, looking as adorable and well-behaved as could be. With that innocent appearance, probably no one would have imagined that just a few minutes ago, she had thrown Murdoch into the Blood Pool.

Sarec didn't know this, but the mere fact that Meria was wearing the crown was enough to ignite his killing intent.

"The Crown of Our Lord. You are not worthy to wear it!"

The heavy armor clanged, and Sarec stepped forward. His only remaining left hand tucked into his ribs. "Repay with your life!"

In an angry roar, Sarec threw a punch.

He was the embodiment of power, and as early as when he left X35, he had once destroyed a shuttle and hundreds of enemies with a single punch. His punching power had already exceeded the concept of traditional physics and was almost equivalent to a general force field domain. So he had enough reason to see Meria shattered!!

But what he never expected was that at the moment he threw his punch, a cloud of black mist rose from Mirror Charm's hair, blocking his path. The fist, filled with endless power, sank deeply into it. Then Sarec felt a sharp pain in his ribs, and a blood hole the size of a washbasin appeared. Blood and broken bones flew out of the hole.

Another reflection!!

In an instant, the intense pain almost overwhelmed Sarec's nerves, but he glanced at Mirror Charm opposite him without any change. He slowly withdrew his blood-stained fist.

"You are stopping me."

He said this, but his tone was as if he was not the one who was hurt.

"You are defying the Empress's will."

"Are you prepared to bear the consequences of your sins?"

"Haha, hahahaha..." Looking at Sarec's eternally unchanging expression, Mirror Charm suddenly laughed. Her full chest rippled in layers.

"What can I say? Sarec, you are so cute."

Sarec was speechless for a moment, and a fire of anger appeared in his eyes. Since his debut, he had always been consistent with blood and power. Some said he was violent, some said he was brutal. But the only one who said he was cute was the one in front of him.

He couldn't stop her. In fact, he was now almost at the end of his rope.

However, Mirror Charm seemed to know what Sarec was thinking, and stopped laughing after a while, then said seriously, "Actually, I know the source of your anger. But I want to remind you that you and I are simply not on the same level."

"You do possess planetary-level power, but it is limited to the physical body, limited to primitive, yet simple physical collisions. And these are precisely meaningless to me."

Saying that, Mirror Charm wiggled a finger, and a few strands of her hair curled up, raising a few hazy clouds of black mist.

Sarec couldn't see what was in the black mist, but his pupils suddenly contracted. Because it was these few clouds of black mist that had caused his greatest injury.

"Mirror of Reflection."

In the black mist, Mirror Charm's voice flowed slowly. Then the black mist thinned a little and dissipated, revealing a clear, paper-thin transparent object behind it.

"This is my exclusive ability, which can return any physical force to its source. I know this is difficult to explain, but you only need to know one thing. In this universe, no power is absolute. As long as you master the rules of power, then power, whether it is your own or the enemy's, can be used."

"The Mirror of Reflection is such a condensation of rules. As long as it exists, ordinary physical collisions are ineffective against me."

"I am Mirror Charm."

Mirror Charm said seriously to Sarec. "No one can hurt me. The price for punching me is to hurt yourself!"

"Humph!"

Sarec snorted coldly, but remained expressionless.

A large amount of blood and internal organs flowed from his wound, and his vitality was already nearing exhaustion. It was foreseeable that even without fighting, he would not see tomorrow's sun.

As the most powerful prince of the Mutants, and the Empress's most loyal guard, Sarec had never shown mercy in battle. His battles were struggles between life and death!

It's either you die, or I die.

Now, he had suffered two punches that concentrated all of his strength. So there was no you die, but only I die.

ps: This is the only update, Xiao Dao will go to his mother's house after get off work, with the children.

I have been very tired recently, probably because I have added more updates, which has seriously affected my health. I even needed the help of quick-acting heart-saving pills during one shift.

However, I will try my best to arrange it. If there are no accidents tomorrow, there will be two updates.
