The fire zombie let out an angry howl, and its entire body was covered in dark red viscous liquid.
The temperature of the heat wave increased again, but it still could not stop the erosion of ice fog.
At this time, the aura on Lin Qingqing's body was rising steadily at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she easily crossed the fourth level threshold, and then continued to rise all the way.
The early stage of the fourth stage, the middle stage of the fourth stage, and then it stabilized until the late stage of the fourth stage.
【how so? what have you done? 】
"I didn't do anything, I just took back my own power."
[This is impossible, these powers are all mine, you can’t use them! 】
"Why not? You are me, isn't what's yours mine?"
Lin Qingqing raised her lips and said, "Since you are me, aren't we all the same if we survive?"
She clenched her fists, feeling the fullness and solidity brought by the fourth-level ice power, "No matter who you are, now that your mission is completed, I have reached the path I want to take in the future, you can disappear - disappear ——It’s——”
After saying that, she punched hard, and the surrounding ice mist completely turned into blue ink, and the temperature in the air dropped sharply.
The ground and walls that had been burned by the heat wave exploded in an instant.
There was a constant "crackling" sound, gravel and ice chips flying, just like setting off firecrackers during the New Year.
Feeling this unshakable coldness, the fire zombies began to retreat unconsciously.
It wanted to escape, but the ice mist seemed to have its own consciousness, blocking all its retreat routes.
The other "Lin Qingqing" in her mind was still shouting, but now "she" could no longer affect her.
The fourth-level power was still a bit unfamiliar to her. Lin Qingqing did not block the voice in her mind. Instead, she recalled the fighting style of her other self with great interest.
"No wonder 'she' always likes to use her skills to crush her opponents. With such a huge amount of energy, it would make her look petty to do anything about it. "
"Ouch~~wuwuwu——"
Seeing the woman on the other side getting closer and closer, the fire zombie gave up its resistance. It curled up, pressed its head against the ground, and let out a low whimper.
"I didn't expect the zombies to beg for mercy?"
Lin Qingqing looked at it strangely, "It's only the fourth level, has the zombie evolved to this level?"
"Ouch~~wuwuwu——"
Seeing the other party's hesitation, it quickly continued to beg for mercy.
How could Lin Qingqing really let it go? After her curiosity passed, she commanded the ice mist to crush the zombies mercilessly.
"Roar--"
Telling him that it was useless, the fourth-level zombie let out an angry roar. The heat wave could not withstand the ice mist, and it transformed all its powers into burning fireballs, intending to fight the opponent to the death.
Looking at the fireballs filling the sky, Lin Qingqing stood calmly. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, and finally gave up evading.
"Let me also experience the joy of crushing with skills."
Lin Qingqing hooked her fingers, and the thick blue-ink ice mist surged violently. In a moment, countless densely packed light blue ice crystals appeared in mid-air.
Each of these ice lings was as thick as an arm, and their sharp edges shone with ice-blue cold light.
When the fireballs in the sky met the blue ice, they burst like popping balloons. In the blink of an eye, the fire zombie, along with its fireballs and heat waves, were swallowed up by thousands of icicles.
"The feeling of being covered by firepower is really great!"
Lin Qingqing put away her skates, walked forward, and found a red and somewhat hot crystal core among a pile of broken ice cubes.
She put the green wood crystal core before the fire crystal core together, and then carefully felt the energy in her body.
"As expected, it's the late fourth level, and it's even close to its peak."
She thought she had to upgrade again, but it seems she doesn’t need to now.
, these energies exist in one's body and are originally a part of oneself.
"It's impossible to give up my body to you, don't even think about it, but I still want to thank you for helping me upgrade!"
【……】
The voice in my head could no longer hold back, and all kinds of kind greetings came in turn.
But Lin Qingqing is in a good mood now, so she doesn't care about "her".
After taking care of the fourth-level fire zombies, she was about to go back. As soon as she turned around, she suddenly felt a spin in her mind.
"Oops, why do I still have a fever..."
Before she lost consciousness, she instinctively formed a ball of ice mist. When the ice mist touched her body, it immediately turned into a thick ice wall, completely surrounding herself.
Lin Qingqing, who had passed out, found herself in the white space again.
I haven't come in for a long time, and half of the genetic chain has turned ice blue. Seen from a distance, the entire lower part of the chain is crystal clear, emitting tiny dazzling lights.
Lin Qingqing stepped forward and found a person sitting under the chain. This man has shoulder-length black hair, long legs and a thin waist, a thin figure, and a soft cold light on his fair skin.
She sat on the ground with her legs bent, her fists clenched tightly, and her cold brows full of anger.
Seeing Lin Qingqing coming, she suddenly stood up, walked over in a few steps, and stood in front of her, facing her from a distance.
"So you've been here all along!"
Lin Qingqing looked at the person in front of her who looked exactly like her, and then looked at the spiraling chain of supernatural powers, seeming to have a clear understanding in her heart.
"Stop talking nonsense, only one of us can survive today!"
After saying that, the other "Lin Qingqing" waved his hand, and a long ice chain appeared in his hand, and then a large area of blue ink appeared.
Lin Qingqing didn't say much when she saw this. She held the ice blade and directed the ice mist to kill the ink blue mass.
Somehow, in this white space, her ice mist turned white again.
Only a hint of blue showed through the white ice mist, which formed a sharp contrast with the blue ink-like ice mist opposite.
The soldiers were fighting hand to hand, and the ice blades and ice chains collided together, making a crisp sound of "ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong.
In this special space, two identical figures were fighting equally. The white ice mist seems gentle, but its power is no less powerful than the blue ink.
To be honest, this was Lin Qingqing's first time fighting with herself, and this feeling was very novel.
Although the two have slightly different fighting styles, their skills and experience are equally matched.
Ice blade against ice blade, ice mist against ice mist, even the weapons in the hands of the two people are constantly changing, reinforcing each other.
If you use a sword, I will use a spear; if you use a spear, I will use a whip. If you can't decide the winner in close combat, you switch to long-range attacks. Ice blades, ice mist, ice shards, and ice picks collide with each other and break into pieces.
After a while, the entire space turned into a land of ice and snow.
Except for the first meeting, the two never said a word.
Probing and attacking, both sides are constantly looking for each other's weaknesses.
As time went on, their fighting methods gradually began to merge with each other, and even their movements and thinking habits gradually became consistent.
Looking from a distance, the other person seems to be another version of himself in the mirror.
"You really want to replace me?"
[What to replace, I am you! 】
"No! You are definitely not me!" Lin Qingqing said firmly.
"At first, I thought you were another me, but then I slowly discovered that you are not me."
"You have been imitating me! While you are learning my behavior and the way I speak, you are constantly misleading me, making me think that you are me and I am you."
"As for the reason why you did this, is it so that you can truly replace me one day?"
[Are you saying this to deny my existence? Is it so difficult for you to accept that I am you? 】
"I know best what kind of person I am. You can't be another me!"
[Hmph - you said I imitated you, but I know everything you have experienced since you were a child. Everything you have said and done cannot be hidden from me. I am not you. Who could it be? 】
"Yeah, who else could you be? You only appeared after the end of the world, hiding in my body, reading my memories, imitating my behavior, trying to mislead my perception, making me think that I failed the promotion , and you still want to replace me."
"Do you think I'm right? Genetic chains?"
【you......】
The blue-black ice mist stirred violently, showing the owner's inner unrest.
Lin Qingqing seized the flaw at this moment and split open the opponent's defense with a knife. The white mist quickly gained the upper hand and quickly surrounded the blue ink ice mist.
"Pu Chi", the ice blade penetrated the opponent's body, and Lin Qingqing looked at "her" condescendingly.
"I guessed it right, didn't I?"
【Hahaha~ Not bad! You win! 】..
After saying that, right under Lin Qingqing's eyes, the figure under the ice blade suddenly turned into a puddle of ice water.
Then the blue-black ice mist shrank rapidly, merged with the ice water, and turned into a blue light, flying towards the genetic chain not far away.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Where are you running to?"
Lin Qingqing turned around, and the white ice mist that originally surrounded all directions quickly shrank, blocking the blue light.
"Come on, let me see what you are all about!"
Lin Qingqing stretched out her hand and pulled down the blue light that was running like a headless fly in the white mist.
The blue light turned into a human form again in Lin Qingqing's hands, but this time it was different from before. "Her" face was no longer there, and even her skin turned into the same blue ink color as the ice mist before.
"You look nothing like me now."
Lin Qingqing grabbed "her" neck, and then the ice power condensed into sharp ice thorns, instantly turning the struggling figure into a hedgehog.
At this time, the blue-ink figure could no longer maintain its human shape. "She" was like a punctured balloon, with the blue-ink liquid inside pouring out. Wrapped in white ice mist, it quickly decomposed. It turned into two different energies, one white and one dark blue.
After the white energy touched the surrounding ice mist, it quickly integrated into it and became a part of it. Lin Qingqing's spirit was shaken, and she felt that her powers had increased a lot.
The remaining small group of dark blue energy condensed into a small group of ink and was floating quietly in the air.
This ball of energy should be what Lin Qingqing is looking for.
