Chapter 1252 The Herrscher
In a corner of a city in Eastern Europe shrouded in industrial waste and poverty, deep in the alleys where sewage flows, even the sun seems unwilling to shine too much.
She had no name, or rather, they had long forgotten it. People simply called her "Little Mouse," a beggar huddled beside a trash can, surviving on scraps. Her frail, tattered clothes couldn't protect her from the bitter cold, and her exposed skin was covered in chilblains and stains. Her eyes, once perhaps bright, were now numb and hollow, devoid of any brilliance.
Today, her "luck" seemed to have arrived. Several men wearing bulky coats and with cloudy eyes spotted her. They looked at her not as a person, but as if they were evaluating a piece of merchandise.
"Although she's a little thin, her organs should still be usable." One of them muttered and roughly pulled her arm.
She didn't struggle, didn't even make a sound, and like a shabby doll without a soul, she was dragged into a dark and dirty underground clinic that smelled of a mixture of disinfectant and blood.
The cold metal bed, the glaring shadowless lights, the masked, cold-eyed "doctor," and the gleaming surgical instruments on the nearby trolley...all of this chilled her to the bone, yet she felt no desire to resist. Despair had already frozen her completely.
As the anesthetic injected itself into his body, his consciousness began to fade. The last thing he saw was the "doctor" approaching with a scalpel in hand... and his own lifeless body, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
Let's just end it like this... well...
However, just before his consciousness was about to sink completely into darkness—
An indescribable icy will originating from outside the world seemed to have found the most suitable container and descended with a bang!
A powerful force penetrated the void in a rough and direct manner and poured accurately into this dying body!
"Uhhhhhh-!!!"
The girl's eyes suddenly opened wide! From those previously empty pupils, an icy blue light, a fusion of extreme pain and extreme coldness, burst forth! Unimaginable destructive energy surged through her body like a flood, tearing it apart and then reshaping itself!
With her as the center, visible ice-blue ripples suddenly spread out!
Click! Click! Click!
Everything in the clinic—the shadowless lights, the surgical instruments, the stretchers, and the men whose faces still clung to shock and greed—was instantly covered and frozen by the absolute zero freezing point! Their expressions, frozen at the last moment, transformed into lifelike ice sculptures. Even the lingering smell of blood and disinfectant was frozen into tiny ice crystals.
The young woman—no, at this point, the Herrscher of Ice—slowly rose from the icy operating table. Her dry hair had become as white and translucent as snow, her skin pale to the point of being almost transparent, and a suffocating chill emanated from her body. She glanced down at her simple hospital gown, then at the surrounding ice sculptures, each held in a terrifying pose. A moment of bewilderment flashed across her eyes, then gave way to a deeper chill.
Barefoot, she stepped on the icy ground, the dirty water and blood beneath her feet instantly freezing with every step. Like a spirit of ice and snow, or a goddess of winter bringing annihilation, she slowly walked out of the underground clinic, which had been transformed into an icy cave, and into the equally cold world outside, which was about to be completely transformed.
……
In the shadow side of another bustling city, inside an exquisitely decorated apartment with even a touch of girlishness, there is a creepy atmosphere that is completely different from its appearance.
She hummed a light ballad, carefully wiping the sharp scalpel in her hand, her eyes obsessed with admiring her relatively pretty face reflected on the blade. The room was filled with various indescribable "collections" and a faint smell of blood that tried to be masked by incense but still lingered.
She possessed a hidden hobby, a "love" twisted to the extreme. She was obsessed with "creation"—destroying and dismembering beautiful things, watching them shatter from perfection and utter a final, desperate wail in her hands. This brought her unparalleled pleasure and satisfaction, as if only in this way could she truly "possess" and "appreciate" that ultimate beauty.
Today, her "artwork" is a high school girl who has just been kidnapped. She is young and beautiful in a clean school uniform. At this moment, she is lying unconscious on the carpet, unaware of her upcoming fate.
"Perfect material..." She licked her lips, her eyes flashing with excitement and cruelty. She picked up the scalpel and slowly squatted down. "Let me...love you well..."
Just as the tip of the knife was about to touch the girl's skin——
hum!
A heavy, dark will that seemed to crush everything suddenly descended like a divine punishment! It perfectly resonated with the twisted desire for destruction and control deep within her heart!
"What is this...?" She was stunned, and then she felt an unprecedented, boundless power surge into her body! Every inch of her muscle, every cell was cheering, as if they were born to carry this power!
She looked down at her hands, feeling the power that seemed to be able to easily manipulate gravity and crush everything. She was stunned at first, and then an extremely ecstatic and twisted smile appeared on her face!
"Ahahaha! Power! Is this the power God has bestowed upon me?!" She laughed wildly, her voice sharp and piercing. "Is it so I can better 'create'?!"
She could no longer suppress her inner excitement and desire to destroy, and her eyes turned to the high school girl who was still unconscious on the ground.
"Then... let's start with you! Use this new power!"
She stretched out her finger and gently pressed on the girl on the ground.
Om-!
An invisible, terrifying gravitational field instantly enveloped the innocent girl!
Without even a moment to scream, the girl's body was instantly crushed inward by an irresistible force, deforming and shattering! The sound of shattering bones and bloody flesh mixed together like a muffled sigh. In just a second or two, a vibrant life was completely crushed into an unrecognizable puddle of flesh, wrapped in shreds of school uniform!
"Ahh... so beautiful! This is the ultimate art! An instant of destruction!" She looked at her "masterpiece", trembling with excitement, her face flushed with a sickly red. "More! I want more!"
She reveled in her newfound power and her bloody "creations," but had no intention of stopping. On the contrary, her desires grew infinitely!
She walked out of the apartment and onto the balcony, opened her arms, felt the power surging in her body, and had a crazy and satisfied smile on her face.
"Let the entire city... come and offer a gift of congratulations to my new life! Feel this... heaviness!"
boom! ! !
With her as the center, a dark yellow halo suddenly spread out, instantly covering the entire city!
The next moment, unimaginable huge gravity came!
Streets twisted, vehicles were crushed, and glass windows shattered! Countless pedestrians, barely able to react, were crushed to the ground by the sudden increase in gravity, tens, hundreds of times greater. Bones shattered, organs ruptured! The entire city groaned under the weight, as if it would be completely crushed and flattened in the next second!
The Herrscher of Rocks descended upon this place, bringing not the heaviness and solidity of the earth, but the heavy despair of destruction and end.
Two cities, two new Herrschers, in completely different ways, yet both brought endless disaster. Amethyst's experiment, in a different way, ultimately "successfully" accelerated the process of collapse.
