Zen had just released Itzel from the wall, and she was just catching her breath when suddenly, the Evil Bead appeared above her head.
The Snake Spirit King's voice was then heard coming from the bead. "My daughter, you've waited for so long. Finally someone is here to save you."
Although the Snake Spirit King had given this Holy Item to Itzel, he had tampered with it beforehand and could take control of it any time.
Itzel looked up at the Evil Bead and had mixed feelings.
Snake spirits were known to be cold-blooded. It was not difficult for her to accept the fact that her father had become her enemy now. But when Itzel grew up in the Human Spirit Sect, she had remolded herself thoroughly. At this very moment, the grievance in her heart was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
Kincaid reached out a hand and pressed her shoulder softly. He looked up and shook his head at the Evil Bead. "You're right. We are here. I have survived more than a thousand chaotic eras. Itzel is safe and sound today, and you will eventually face defeat at our hands."
The members of the Bold Conjecture House had been cursed in the battle on the Other Shore. They now remained hidden in the passageway, but the remaining people of the Four Spirits Sects were long dead. The only way they could continue to exist was because they had all become Treacherous Beings. However, Itzel's body had been preserved.
When the Snake Spirit King heard Kincaid's calm answer, there was a burst of cruelty and hatred in his heart.
He had spent so much time and energy in trying to be omniscient and powerful, only to end up becoming a slave of the downgrader. And yet, Kincaid could still reunite with his daughter. Why? That was not fair!
The Snake Spirit King felt depressed, but he sneered, "Safe and sound? Let me see how safe and sound she can be!"
Whoosh!
Flames suddenly burst forth from the Evil Bead hovering Itzel. The Snake Spirit King had sent it into an unstoppable combustive state!
This was troubling! Even if an ordinary Other Shore Token was burnt, it would release an exceedingly large amount of energy, and the Evil Bead was not even an ordinary token.
Weird noises started coming out of the Evil Bead!
Then it began to swell up at a rapid pace and was shaking, as if it were going to explode.
Kincaid was not afraid of the impending explosion since he was a Treacherous Being, but Itzel and Dorothy would most likely be killed if that happened.
However, when the Evil Bead had expanded to the size of a fist, Zen quietly stretched out two fingers and pointed at it calmly. A cubical space box, which was one foot wide, appeared out of nowhere and trapped the bead inside it.
Boom!
With a muffled sound, the Evil Bead exploded in the space box and released its terrible power, but was unable to break through the space box. Very soon, all of its energy was consumed.
The powers that came from the Deep Space were much stronger than those of the main world.
The trouble was, Zen had resolved the terrifying power of the Evil Bead, but the counterattack that came with its burning could not be stopped. The punishment of the pillar quickly devoured Itzel's vitality like a hungry lion. Like Ziya, Itzel's body instantly rotted into nothingness, turning into ashes and scattering in the air like confetti.
"Mother!"
Dorothy shouted and was about to rush forward, but Kincaid stopped her. "No. Wait. Your mother won't die."
Itzel was a creature of the fourth-grade world. The punishment of burning a Holy Item was not death, and it would only destroy her body. This meant that when her body had completely dissipated, two golden crosses began floating in the air, which were her coordinates.
Buzz!
With a slight shake of the golden coordinates, Itzel came out. She had now become a Treacherous Being.
It was a pity that her body had been destroyed beyond repair, but it was inevitable.
The Snake Spirit King's control of the Evil Bead allowed him to also control Itzel's life and death. Luckily, she was able to become a Treacherous Being.
"I'll send you back to the Pear Hill," Zen told them as he gently pinched his fingers and folded the space around them.
Kincaid, Dorothy, and Itzel felt a soft flash of light before they found themselves standing atop the Pear Hill.
Standing on the jadeite platform and looking at the huge world around her, Itzel couldn't hold back her shock. "Kincaid, Zen's space technique is remarkable!"
Itzel was a highly knowledgeable person. And she had also merged with the bloodline power of the space quadrant.
However, Zen's use of spatial powers was far beyond her imagination. He had already reached a point where he could bend and move space at will.
"There..."
