Rocot: Reborn

Claire felt a fishy-sweet taste rising in her throat. She gritted her teeth and swallowed it, staring coldly at Shadow's disgusting face.

"Just you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself!" Claire spat disdainfully, and the bloody saliva splashed on Shadow's face. Shadow didn't get angry, but slowly wiped it clean with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty is still so sharp-tongued, but you will soon understand that in this world, strength is the kingly way to decide everything." Shadow threw the handkerchief away, stood up, and looked down at Claire. He snapped his fingers, and the guards around him immediately understood, stepped forward, and pointed their laser guns at Claire.

"You know, I hate it most when someone points a gun at me." Claire took a deep breath, trying to ignore the severe pain in her body, and her eyes gradually became sharp.

"Oh? Really? That's a pity." Shadow raised his eyebrows in surprise, then the smile on his face disappeared and he ordered in a cold tone, "Kill her."

The dazzling light from the laser gun lit up in front of Claire's eyes, and she instinctively closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not come. She opened her eyes in confusion, and saw a tall figure blocking her way. The black cloak was hit by the energy beam and turned into ashes in an instant, revealing the familiar face under the cloak.

"Lu Li!" Claire looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. Shouldn't he be activating the "Heart of Creation"? Why did he suddenly appear here?

Lu Li ignored Claire's surprise. He waved his hand and a black energy barrier instantly opened up, blocking all the laser beams. The black-clad guards obviously did not expect a sudden attack from Cheng Yaojin, and were stunned for a moment.

"Why don't you get out of here!" Lu Li glanced coldly at the black-clad guards, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

The black-clad guards looked at each other, and finally chose to obey Lu Li's orders and retreated to the side in panic.

"Lu Li, what on earth are you doing?" Claire stood up and looked at Lu Li warily. She didn't believe that this man would be kind enough to save her.

Lu Li turned around and looked at Claire with deep eyes, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why? My Queen, don't you trust your subjects?"

"Don't try that on me! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!" Claire snorted coldly. She knew Lu Li too well. This man was extremely cunning and ruthless. He would never help her for no reason.

"Hehe, it seems that my queen is still as smart as ever." Lu Li smiled noncommittally. He walked to Claire, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked Claire's cheek. His tone was as gentle as the whisper of love. "But, my dear queen, do you really think you can escape from my palm?"

Claire slapped Lu Li's hand away with a cold look in her eyes: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Lu Li withdrew his hand, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a chilling look: "What do I want to do? It's very simple. I want you to see with your own eyes how your empire is reduced to ruins under my feet..."

He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Claire's neck, and pressed her hard against the cold wall. Claire felt difficulty breathing and her vision began to blacken, but she still stared at Lu Li stubbornly, her eyes full of unyielding and anger.

"Do you think... ahem... you can succeed?" Claire uttered a few words with difficulty, her voice hoarse.

"You will soon know whether I can succeed or not." Lu Li's eyes became crazy and dangerous, and the strength in his hands gradually increased. Claire felt that she was about to suffocate. At this moment, a violent vibration suddenly came, and the entire underground space shook violently. The pipes and wires above his head broke, and sparks splashed everywhere.

"What's going on?!" Lu Li raised his head in surprise. Claire took the opportunity to break free from his restraints and started coughing violently.

"It seems that someone is more anxious to get the 'Heart of Creation' than us..." Lu Li looked at the violently shaking ceiling, with a meaningful smile on his face. He let go of Claire and turned to walk towards the huge metal platform, with a hint of madness in his tone, "In that case, let's play a bigger game..."

The vibrations became more and more intense, with rubble and metal fragments falling from the top of the head. The entire underground space seemed to be about to collapse at any time. Claire held onto the wall and finally managed to stabilize herself. She looked up at Lu Li, who was standing in front of the huge metal platform with an almost crazy excitement on his face.

"Lu Li, are you crazy? Once the 'Heart of Creation' is activated, the whole world will fall into chaos!" Claire shouted loudly, trying to bring Lu Li back to his senses, but she knew in her heart that once this man made a decision, he would never change it easily.

"Chaos? Isn't that interesting?" Lu Li laughed wildly. He suddenly jumped onto the metal platform. "I will make those who betrayed me pay the price!"

As he spoke, Lu Li placed his hand on a crystal ball in the center of the platform. The crystal ball immediately emitted a dazzling light, and the entire underground space vibrated more violently, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

"Stop!" Claire rushed towards Lu Li desperately, but before she could get close, she was bounced away by an invisible force and fell heavily to the ground.

"It's useless, Claire, you can't stop me!" Lu Li's voice was particularly clear in the deafening roar. He raised his head and looked at the rubble that kept falling above his head. His eyes were full of madness and determination. "I have lost everything. I am crazy now. I will drag this world into the abyss!"

As Lu Li spoke, the light of the crystal ball became brighter and brighter, and the entire underground space began to twist violently. Claire felt as if she was in a huge vortex, with the world spinning around and she couldn't breathe.

At this moment, a dazzling white light descended from the sky, instantly covering the entire underground space. Claire closed her eyes instinctively, and a deafening roar came to her ears...

When Claire opened her eyes again, she found that she was no longer in the dark and damp underground space, but in a strange place.

This was a spacious and bright hall, with countless glowing crystals inlaid on the walls, lighting up the entire hall like daylight. In the center of the hall, a huge metal sphere floated, with complex patterns on its surface, emitting a faint blue light.

Claire struggled to stand up and looked around vigilantly. Everything here made her feel strange and uneasy.

"here it is……"

"Welcome to the 'Heart of Creation'." A cold voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

Claire turned her head suddenly and saw a tall figure standing not far away. His face was covered by a black cloak, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Who are you?" Claire asked warily.

"It doesn't matter who I am," the black shadow said indifferently, "What matters is that the 'Heart of Creation' is now under my control."

Claire was shocked. Could it be that the white light just now was caused by someone else who tried to stop Lu Li? But why did this person do this? What was his purpose?

"What do you want to do?" Claire asked, with a slight tremor in her voice.

The black shadow did not answer, but slowly walked to the huge metal sphere, reached out and gently stroked the surface of the sphere, as if touching a precious work of art.

"The Heart of Creation has the power to change the world..." The shadow's voice was low and hoarse, "And I will use it to create a brand new world..."

Hearing this, Claire suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. She didn't know who this black shadow was, nor did she know what kind of world he wanted to create, but she instinctively felt that this person was more dangerous than Lu Li!

"You can't do this!" Claire shouted, "The power of the 'Heart of Creation' is too strong. Once it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous!"

The black shadow turned around, and under the black cloak, a pair of scarlet eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Consequences?" The shadow sneered, "This world is already rotten. Only destruction can bring about a new life!"

"You're crazy!" Claire cried in horror.

"Crazy?" The shadow walked towards Claire step by step. Every step seemed to step on her heart. "Maybe, but only a madman can change the world..."
