Volume 4, Chapter 53 – Paradise Manor’s Science Division Leader

At the same time, in Paradise Manor’s underground base, Area B5.

A group of Blood Guards members dressed in red, upon hearing the system alarm, rushed to this location fully armed and in great haste.

However, after arriving at the super-hardened mystical steel door of Area B5, these guards stopped in place, looking at each other uncertainly about whether to enter.

After all, the B5 experimental area before them was that Ancestor’s exclusive domain, and those who entered without permission usually didn’t end well.

However, if they didn’t go in and that Ancestor really had encountered some problem, they wouldn’t escape Lord Duan’s punishment either.

So, gritting their teeth, several high-ranking Blood Guards took the initiative to open the door.

The next moment, accompanied by the sound of gears turning, the door quietly opened. A pungent smell of medicinal chemicals and thick bloody odor immediately hit them in the face, making several people frown.

“Lord Genovis! Are you alright!”

Looking at the figure in the distance kneeling in a pool of blood, hands supporting himself on the ground, almost motionless, the Blood Guards captain asked worriedly.

After seeing that the other party didn’t respond, they nervously rushed forward.

Then, several young Blood Guards members’ faces changed drastically.

Because the robust man before them lying in the pool of blood, with black and red hair, had already lost half his head.

His chest also had a hideous bloody hole.

There wasn’t a trace of life left in him.

“The Sixth Ancestor? Just… died like this?”

One of the Blood Guards members stepped back several paces in disbelief.

The seven Ancestors were the core of their House Solrog, the absolute pillars of all of Paradise Manor.

Such an important figure actually died just like that?!

Genovis Solrog, who managed the “technology” field, died just like this?

However, just as this blonde young guard was feeling bewildered,

“Click”

Accompanied by a strange sound, a nutrition pod in the shadows of the laboratory quietly opened.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to it.

The next moment, under their bewildered gazes, a robust figure covered in mucus climbed out of the nutrition pod.

His appearance was identical to the man lying in the pool of blood beside them.

“Eh??! Lord Ancestor!”

The young guard’s pupils contracted as he exclaimed.

“The Sixth Ancestor has many bodies, he’s not so easily killed.”

The Blood Guards captain said coldly, warning his subordinate with his eyes to mind proper etiquette.

Hearing this, the subordinate immediately lowered his head fearfully and respectfully bowed toward the man along with the other Blood Guards members.

The captain then stepped forward respectfully to ask:

“Lord Genovis, are you alright?”

Hearing this, Genovis slowly opened his pair of penetrating gray pupils.

“Just lost one body, nothing major.”

“May I ask what exactly happened here?”

“Alice Roth—that woman suddenly attacked and cut me down. It’s that simple.”

“What?”

The captain looked bewildered.

“Wasn’t Alice’s spiritual power sealed by Lord Duan long ago? How did she still have the ability to cut you down?”

“Hehe, yes, it is quite strange. Suddenly had the ability to attack me…”

Recalling that earlier scene, a trace of confusion couldn’t help but overflow from Genovis’s eyes.

He was certain that when Alice was sent to the laboratory previously, the spiritual power in her body was in a sealed state.

However, for some unknown reason, Alice’s power had suddenly recovered considerably?

She even seized the opportunity for a sneak attack and destroyed one of his bodies.

What was going on exactly?

Had someone secretly released her restraints?

Glancing toward where Alice had been restrained, Genovis narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

“Where is test subject S238 now?”

“She used your identity card and has already escaped the base.”

The captain reported truthfully.

“We’ve already sent out large forces to capture her. Lords Bosger and Aurom have also gone in pursuit.”

“Enmm… Alice took my nutrition potions. Her strength will probably recover to about sixty or seventy percent soon. Those guys probably can’t catch her.”

“Then I’ll contact the Executioners.”

“No need.”

“Hmm?”

“I’ll go myself.”

Reaching out to touch a button on the wall, countless deep blue liquids instantly poured out from the button, wrapping around Genovis’s body and forming into combat-use tight clothing.

“An experimental subject who dares to cut down her master? I should educate her myself. Heh, hehehe…”

Waves of cold, penetrating laughter quietly emanated from Genovis’s mouth.

Over more than a thousand years, it was rare to have an experimental subject who dared to injure him and successfully escape.

Of course he had to keep her for himself to play with…

On the other side, in an unknown swampland at the Divine Kingdom’s border, a blonde woman in tattered clothing covered in bloody wounds was desperately moving through the area at high speed.

The woman’s identity was obvious—it was Alice, who had just escaped from Paradise Manor’s secret base.

After using the key Xingwu had given her to unlock the restraints within her body, Alice had secretly accumulated power and finally succeeded in ambushing that madman who wanted to dissect her.

After seizing his identity card and some precious medicines, Alice began her escape.

Go to Wishaven! Find Brother Alabaster Sovereign!

This was all Alice was thinking about at the moment.

After all, he was the only person in this world she could rely on and seek help from now.

“But seriously… Paradise Manor’s advanced technology really is impressive…”

Feeling the spiritual power continuously recovering within her body, Alice couldn’t help but sigh.

This recovery efficiency was about the same as the “Celestial Jade Drops” from the Shenluo era?

No, this seemed to actually be “Celestial Jade Drops”?

Since too much time had passed, Alice wasn’t very certain in her heart.

But what was certain was that with the help of these two bottles of medicine, Alice’s power was rapidly recovering.

The Paradise Manor members who came in pursuit were all quickly defeated by Alice.

Although Alice’s strength was far from its peak, she was still a legendary Celestial Augur Knight—ordinary Paradise Manor experts really couldn’t oppose Alice.

Not only that, having been imprisoned and tortured for over two years, Alice directly vented all her rage on her pursuers.

Therefore, miserable screams continuously echoed throughout the swamp area.

And as Alice’s power further recovered, Paradise Manor’s people could no longer keep up with Alice’s pace.

Like this, the woman, surrounded by pale golden light, quickly passed through most of the swamp area and arrived at another territory.

“From these landmarks, have I entered the Westivian Covenant? I didn’t expect Paradise Manor’s base wasn’t far from the border either. But since the territory ahead belongs to the Covenant, I should continue running north…”

After confirming her direction, Alice accelerated forward.

Her entire being transformed into a pale golden meteor, cutting through the starry sky.

However, just as Alice was accelerating further, dozens of massive gray magic arrays suddenly appeared in the pitch-black night sky above.

“?!!”

“What?”

Alice, enveloped by gray light, immediately changed expression drastically.

This… this aura was?!

That person didn’t die!

“Anti-Army Magic – Radiant Meteor Swarm.”

As the figure high in the sky snapped his fingers, the dozens of magic arrays suddenly blazed with light, and countless crimson meteors emanating terrifying aura fluctuations crashed down from the sky like a violent storm! Striking toward Alice!

The dead silent night was illuminated by the rain of fire.

“Not good!”

Sensing grave danger, Alice hurriedly did her utmost to dodge.

Unfortunately, her body hadn’t fully recovered, and the number of fire meteors was appallingly numerous.

In the end, Alice was still struck by several fire meteors and crashed down from high altitude onto the grassland below.

“Rumble!!”

“Cough cough cough cough…”

After coughing up several mouthfuls of fresh blood, Alice struggled to climb out of the crater and looked back with resolute, angry eyes toward the man slowly floating down from the sky.

“You didn’t naively think I’d let you escape, did you? My lovely little lab rat.”

The man—that is, Genovis—taunted playfully.
