I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1213

Chapter 1213: Chapter 1215: Choice Chapter 1213: Chapter 1215: Choice Countless electric plasma flowed over the iron bars of the cage, turning the entire cage into a thunderous domain, with occasional currents being excited out like tentacles, striking the surrounding iron bars and exploding into dazzling sparks.

Such terrifying power had long since caused all the creatures within hundreds of meters to flee, leaving only Song Jian, the dwarf Holy Light Priest Situ Kaiss, and the Abyssal Death Lord that was still incessantly slamming against the cage bars!

“It's starting, it's starting…” Situ Kaiss muttered nervously, staring intently at the Death Lord entwined with countless strands of electric plasma, her fists clenched so tightly that she didn't even notice her nails had pierced her skin and drawn blood.

Now the Death Lord was no longer being repelled by the charging bullets but was enveloped in a mass of electric plasma, its entire body completely out of control, its insides and outsides coursing with blindingly bright electric plasma.

Song Jian was astonished to see the enormous body of the Death Lord starting to float slowly, lifted by the countless strands of plasma enveloping it.

Given that the weight of the Abyssal Death Lord must have exceeded fifty tons, such a heavy body could only have been lifted by heavy-duty cranes, but now it was being propped up by plasma and floating in the air, which looked very strange.

Boom, boom, boom, boom~
Just then, the entire Cage of Evil exploded violently, with the solid iron bars instantly blasted away leaving behind a circle of bottomless trenches.

The electric plasma completely vanished in the explosion, and the Death Lord crashed down from the sky, “thundering” to the ground and creating a massive crater.

“Hahahaha, I did it, I succeeded!” Situ Kaiss laughed wildly, her hands raised high, completely indifferent to the blood from her palms slowly trailing down her wrists.

At this moment, Situ Kaiss had emerged from her invisible state, dressed in a grey-and-white robe, with an excited look on her face and her eyes shining with a dazzling crimson light.

Song Jian glanced at Situ Kaiss, frowned, and started to look at her up and down involuntarily. When Song Jian's gaze landed on Situ Kaiss's arms and saw the dark purple blood, looking like twisted little snakes crawling down her arms, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Situ Kaiss had been in this prison for too long, and it was filled with creatures from the ancient Abyss, its presence pervading every corner of this prison.

Staying in such an Abyssal environment for a long time, Situ Kaiss had gradually became tainted with the Abyssal aura; her body had already started to transform towards that of an Abyssal creature.

“I just don't know if Situ Kaiss is aware that she has become one of the Abyssal Clan…” Song Jian thought to himself.

The appearance of the Abyssal Clan varied widely, with most of them being transformed from creatures of other races. It's simple to identify an Abyssal creature; one only has to check if their bodies contain the Abyssal aura, which is the only commonality among all Abyssal creatures!

Song Jian looked at the wisps and strands of black aura emanating from the surface of Situ Kaiss's body, heaved a sigh, and took his gaze back to keep watching the Death Lord.

The Death Lord now looked like a wreck, most of its carapace and flesh gone, leaving only a silver-white skeleton. Song Jian saw that within the Death Lord's body, bolts of electricity kept flickering, with silver threads flowing incessantly inside, working to repair the inner organs of the Death Lord.

These silver threads, seeming like flowing water, at times tangled together and at other times split into countless even finer threads that probed into the body of the Death Lord.

From outward appearances, the Death Lord seemed already dead, with only a thin layer of Vitality Points remaining, signifying a near-death state. Even if left unattended, he would ultimately die.

But Song Jian could feel an odd life force emanating from the Death Lord's body, and moreover, this strange life force was slowly growing stronger!

This life force was unlike that which other living beings emitted. To Song Jian, there always seemed to be a cold, metallic feeling woven within this eerie life force.

“In the trial tower within Scorching Gorge, that artificial intelligence that controlled the tower, I sensed the exact same kind of life force emanating from it!” Song Jian's expression turned ugly.

This kind of intelligence, which far surpassed that of the current era, always gave Song Jian a very dangerous feeling.

Song Jian would not forget how, after he escorted the AI out of Scorching Gorge, it immediately took control of all of Fengming City's electronic defense systems!

Song Jian believed that, given more time, the entire Fengming City might have fallen into its hands! This was why he would rather install more defense mechanisms in the City of Hope that were full of ancient styles than use more conventional electronic defenses.

Opening the mission panel, Song Jian saw that the stage of the Demon Suppression Tower mission to rescue the Holy Light Priest Situ Kaiss had been completed. But oddly, the mission didn't continue; after completing that stage, the next stage of the mission should have appeared. Instead, the word “Completed” simply appeared after the rescue mission!

Song Jian found it strange and stared at the mission panel for a while longer before closing it reluctantly.

At that moment, Situ Kaiss had walked up to the Death Lord, reaching out to touch its body, her fingers gently caressing the Death Lord's cold flesh as if she were caressing the body of a beloved girl.

“Such a perfect creation!” Situ Kaiss said with glowing eyes, “It's just a pity, when I modified it, it was already a corpse that had been dead for who knows how many years. Otherwise, it could have become even more perfect!”

Looking at the infatuated expression on Situ Kaiss's face, Song Jian suddenly felt a chill run through him!

“Young man, thank you for rescuing me from the Cage of Evil!” Situ Kaiss suddenly turned around with a big smile on her face and said to Song Jian, “Now, I need your help. Can you give me that Soul Crystal you have? I need it right now!”

No sooner had Situ Kaiss finished speaking than a notification sounded in Song Jian's mission panel. He opened it to see that the content of the “Demon Suppression Tower Trial” mission had changed.

“A choice?” Song Jian frowned as he read the mission requirements.

This stage of the mission required Song Jian to make a choice on whether to give the Soul Crystal to Situ Kaiss. If he gave it to her, he would gain the friendship of Situ Kaiss, and there was also a certain chance to obtain the blueprints for the mechanical flesh golem. If he refused, he might become an enemy of Situ Kaiss, but it would trigger the next step in the mission.
