In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

He seemed to have succeeded. He heard the angry curses of the person who had taken over his body.

Then... a terrifying force overwhelmed him, preventing him from regaining control of his body. But before he was completely overwhelmed, he successfully sealed off all his strength.

This body has not only lost its strength, but also been burdened with a heavy yoke. If you want to use this body, you must carry the burden and move forward.

This made Aatrox even angrier.

After another period of darkness, Cheng Xiao felt like she had "arrived" in another world.

The scene before him was no longer the real world, but a strange void. Cold, closed, narrow, and silent.

It's like a cage without a door.

Just like the flesh and blood cage he forged for Aatrox.

He trapped the devil, and the devil also trapped him. In each other's prison, they longed for freedom and sought light.

So they saw each other.

Cheng Xiao saw a majestic figure in the void... He was tall and handsome, with a pair of wings on his back, but he did not look like a demon, but rather - the appearance of a god.

The golden armor radiated a dazzling light all over his body... He looked like a divine warrior depicted in ancient mythology.

Cheng Xiao couldn't help but walk forward.

But before he could get close, he heard a majestic voice - one could even say it was a rebuke:

"Kneel down, you cowardly maggot! Bow down and worship your gods!"

A powerful aura came over her, making Cheng Xiao feel like worshipping him.

He stared at the pressure and continued forward, finally catching sight of a face both familiar and unfamiliar—thin and majestic, with magical lines on his cheeks like bulging veins. This was the demon, Aatrox.

But the Aatrox before him was not the same as the Aatrox in the real world—or rather, it was just different from the current reality.

The Aatrox before him was what he once looked like.

The appearance of a former ascended being and god-warrior.

His body had long since perished, but his soul still retained its original form. He struggled to maintain his original form, but the corruption of the void and the millions of years of imprisonment had changed his soul - even though he possessed the appearance of a god-warrior, his temperament was as violent and perverse as that of a demon.

"Don't be so fierce, Aatrox." Facing the world-destroying god-slayer, Cheng Xiao showed no fear. Instead, he smiled like an old friend. "This is my home. You have to be reasonable."

"What does it have to do with me, you damned maggot huddled in your fragile body?" Aatrox said with disdain.

"Aren't you doing the same?" Cheng Xiao asked in confusion.

"Open your short-sighted eyes and see clearly! Maggots!"

"Ok?"

Cheng Xiao continued forward in confusion.

But just when he was about to touch the other person, he suddenly felt an invisible wall blocking his way and he could not move forward at all.

An...invisible barrier?

"How could a noble god-warrior squeeze into your vile flesh? Foolish!"

Aatrox, in his Ascended form, shouted angrily and waved his hand arrogantly.

The nothingness around them gradually took shape—the shape of magic.

Now Cheng Xiao saw it clearly.

He and Aatrox were face to face, but not in the same space.

He was in... his own [body], while Aatrox was in the [Darkin Sword].

Their auras are connected to each other, and magic can penetrate into them, but in essence they are still two different worlds.

He couldn't completely walk to Aatrox's side, and correspondingly, Aatrox couldn't completely come over and take over his body.

"You, a mortal, are quite interesting..." Aatrox seemed to suppress the immense resentment within him, his voice tinged with a hint of amusement. "I have taken the bodies of countless mortals, but I have hit a wall with you."

"Then it seems that I really am the chosen one." Cheng Xiao was not worried about what was happening now, but just laughed heartlessly.

This attitude should have made Aatrox dissatisfied and angry, but at this moment he felt like he couldn't get angry at all.

He laughed too, but it was a joking laugh.

"The Chosen One? No, no, no... Quite the contrary. You're a poor unlucky wretch. You're just like me."

"What's the same?" Cheng Xiao still looked indifferent.

"We are all trapped in a cage, and there will be no escape forever."

"The Riddler should just go back to Gotham..."

"Gotham? I don't understand what you're talking about... you pathetic worm." Aatrox suddenly laughed, and the materialized form of his soul spread its golden wings, like a majestic and powerful angel.

"When an ordinary person's body is killed, their soul loses its attachment point and quickly disappears... But you, your body and soul have formed a unique and inseparable relationship. Your body can be reborn infinitely, and no matter how many times it is killed, your soul will not dissipate."

"So... do you understand? Your soul is no longer just attached to this body. Your soul is trapped within this body, and it can never escape."

"Just like... me."

After saying this, Aatrox flapped his wings and flew up, his powerful aura filling the entire soul space - it was his Darkin Sword.

The very thing that imprisons his soul is his weapon.

"I can never escape from this sword. It was once my companion in fighting bravely against the enemy, but now it has become a cage that imprisons me! And you—mortal! You will never be able to escape from your fleshly body either! You will neither be able to live nor to die!"

"It's okay, I don't want to die." Cheng Xiao gradually felt his body. He shrugged, acting indifferent.

This made Aatrox laugh again.

But he rarely swore, but whispered meaningfully:

"You don't understand... You don't understand now... You will experience the same things as me. Tens of millions of years from now, you will have the same thoughts as me... Death will become the only goal you pursue for the rest of your life..."

"talk later."

Cheng Xiao yawned and leaned back. In this illusory world, he could float in the air even without wings.

"That's a good attitude. I look forward to seeing you begging me to kill you someday." Aatrox chuckled disdainfully, then added, "Let's not worry about the future for now. Let's talk about the present."

"Oh? You want to chat with a maggot?"

"So much nonsense!"

The moody Aatrox suddenly released the terrifying power of the Darkin, almost breaking up Cheng Xiao's newly transformed "body" once again.

Then, he waved his hand again, and the nothingness around him turned into something like a screen - everything happening in the outside world could be seen.

And the situation outside... can be said to be a bit funny.

---------------------------------------------

-------------------------

"You are no match for me, mortal."

Volibear grabbed who he thought was Cheng Xiao and pierced the other's body with his huge claws.

"But... your fighting spirit has impressed me. I thought you were a coward, but now it seems you possess the courage of a warrior."

The giant bear stretched his joints, the wounds on his body gradually healing under the thunder. He looked at the hateful mortal before him, and in the joy of victory, he felt that the other party was not so annoying anymore.

He no longer viewed the other party as an opponent, but instead showed mercy from the perspective of a victor or even a god.

"You are well suited to practicing the Savage Ancient Path... Why not follow my will? I will grant you power beyond human limits!"

After saying that, Volibear laughed again. The feeling of revenge made him feel so good.

But the captured "Cheng Xiao" - Aatrox who had control over the body, said nothing.

He tried his best to mobilize his strength to launch a counterattack, but this body was no longer completely under his control. His greatly weakened strength made him no match for Volibear.

After all, Volibear is one of the demigods of Freljord.

And he is the demigod who is best at fighting.

In terms of combat effectiveness, he may only be ranked below Ornn.

"You don't want to? That's such a pity..."

Volibear shook his head hypocritically, looking disappointed in his friend.

The next moment, he exerted force with his arms and threw Aatrox heavily to the ground.

The deep crater created was like a falling meteorite, and the vibration caused was like an earthquake.

Aatrox's bones broke again, and he collapsed into the pit, unable to move. The feeling of being beaten up made him both angry and frustrated. If Cheng Xiao hadn't insisted on this, how could he, with his strength, be pinned to the ground by a stupid bear?

Fists rained down like raindrops, and his head was almost smashed into a pile of minced meat.

But both he and the slow-witted Volibear knew that he was unkillable.

This is an endless humiliation.

Finally, Aatrox couldn't hold it in any longer. He roared inwardly, denouncing Cheng Xiao's stupidity: "You foolish maggot! Now that we're one, you too can feel the pain!!"

"I've long been accustomed to pain. Whether it's being cut or smashed, I've long been accustomed to it." Cheng Xiao still acted nonchalant.

He didn't have a stubbornly strong sense of self-esteem, nor did he find it shameful to be beaten up by a demigod. Pain was negligible to him. He simply didn't care.

Let Volibear hit you however he wants, he can't die anyway.

There were people who got beaten with him.

But Aatrox was really going crazy - it was the first time he lost so miserably.

If he wasn't as strong as others, he would have accepted it, but what was it now? He clearly had the strength to defeat Volibear, but he was restrained and unable to use it...!

"You idiot...!"

Aatrox finally couldn't stand the humiliation anymore and gradually loosened control of his body.

In this way, he is not the one who gets beaten, nor is he the one who feels pain.

He only continued to seize one of Cheng Xiao's arms so that his body could always be connected to the Darkin Demon Sword.

In an instant, Cheng Xiao regained control of his body except for his right hand.

What came towards me was a huge bear paw.

Boom!

This time it was the torso that was flattened.

But this time it can be recovered quickly.

Cheng Xiao regained control of his body, and his abnormal self-healing ability naturally returned. Although he couldn't borrow power from Aatrox, the tiny bit of magic released by the Darkin Sword was enough for him to heal himself infinitely.

"Hmm?" Volibear suddenly felt that the mortal he was beating had changed a little.

But there is nothing to worry about, no one can beat him anyway.

He continued to beat up the mortals, and even felt more relaxed than before.

The only thing that annoyed him was that... this mortal's healing speed had become faster again, making it more tiring for him to beat him.

Then, his stiff head finally turned around.

He wanted to turn the mortal in front of him into a bear man. On the one hand, he could swear to his powerful strength, and on the other hand, he could torture the other party - turning the enemy into his follower and servant, isn't this the best way to take revenge?

To achieve this goal... you can also complete another goal at the same time.

"Hehehehe..."

Volibear let out a sinister laugh, and the bear paws that had been attacking suddenly stopped.

He turned and walked towards the town.

Lissandra is also difficult to kill for the time being, so he has to kill other people.

All the people Cheng Xiao cherished... he wanted to kill them all one by one.

"Become my servants... or I will kill you all."

Volibear roared, and more lightning fell from the sky, almost forming a "field of death" around him.

Wherever he went, no grass grew, and the violent thunder destroyed everything.

Cheng Xiao had a bad feeling, and immediately rushed towards the giant bear after completing her self-healing.
