"Ahhh!"
In the luxuriously decorated City Lord’s Mansion, scarlet blood and flesh grew wantonly.
The bizarre flesh spread from Svanni’s serpent tail throughout the room, destroying and transforming everything, turning it into a chamber of blood and flesh.
And in the center of the chamber, the once lone-headed figure of Stella rapidly changed.
Several strands of flesh pierced into the neck, turning into a spine that grew outward wantonly, transforming into a brand new body within a few breaths.
Rip...
Tentacles of flesh tore down the luxurious drapes from the bed, fashioning a simple coat draped over the body.
Svanni’s expression was calm, watching her struggling sister with a hint of lancholy in her eyes.
She walked slowly to her sister bound by her serpent tail, shaking her head and saying, "Stella, stop struggling, it’s over."
"...Over?"
However, upon hearing these words, the trapped Stella beca even more furious. She glared at the person who should never have appeared before her, almost gritting all her teeth into fragnts.
"Svanni!!!"
She bellowed disorientedly, as if looking at a sworn enemy.
"How dare you appear in front of !"
"You, you deceived again!"
At this mont, how could she not understand how the other had done it?
The other had killed Vilamay, then assud her appearance to attempt an assassination, only to be "killed" and consud by her.
Stella had thought that "Vilamay" was indeed foolish to naively believe that such a crude assassination plan could succeed.
But it turned out that the naive one was herself.
The other had intentionally co to die.
She should never have consud that "stupid assassin" to replenish her strength as she usually did... that was her greatest flaw.
What she swallowed was not a beneficial corpse of shared bloodline but a deadly seed of parasitic takeover!
Svanni secretly took root inside her, absorbing nutrients, then blossod and bore fruit, taking everything away.
Yes, just like before.
She had taken everything from her again!
"My power, no! That power belongs to !!!"
Stella truly gained power.
She sacrificed her clan, sacrificed the city where her clan thrived for generations, offered up everything she had!
And after such a huge sacrifice, she indeed gained the trendous power that should have been enough to overturn fate and utterly crush everything.
She was powerful; just half a step away from reaching the Epic Realm.
It was truly just half a step away!
She now was the most powerful being here, without comparison!
Precisely because of this pride in her strength, she arrogantly extended an invitation to Herbert.
Even when she clearly saw that Herbert was intentionally stalling for ti, she still dismissed it.
Stella even felt pleasure and satisfaction.
She was like a lazy beast watching prey cornered, playfully toying with it, watching it struggle with all it had.
But now... she had ssed up the ga.
The dying prey not only found a way to escape but also reversed their positions.
She beca the one about to die.
Yet Stella still couldn’t understand.
Why, despite clearly being stronger, was the other able to seize control of power?
"Svanni! What exactly did you do to !!?"
The power that was hers was effortlessly snatched away by the other, and in terms of power ownership, she even felt like an outsider.
The only part of her body that she could still move was her mouth.
Powerless.
At this mont, Stella recalled the countless tis she had experienced this powerlessness in the past.
"Why? Why can’t I still defeat you!?"
She had sacrificed so much, even becoming a ghoul that devoured the flesh of kin.
"Why!!?"
Facing Stella’s angry questioning, Svanni, after a mont of silence, shook her head slightly and softly said, "Because you and I are of the sa origin."
"You are , I am you."
They were twin sisters, twins who shared everything.
Stella, though having already guessed, couldn’t help but be dazed upon hearing the answer, murmuring:
"Is it because of this? Again, because of this irrational reason!?"
"...Hahaha!"
"Again because of this cursed fate!!!"
She couldn’t help but laugh maniacally, her eyes blazing with anger, glaring at the woman before her.
It was her.
It was she who took everything that should have been hers.
It was all her fault!
Stella gritted her teeth, squeezing out a hoarse voice from her throat, "It’s all your fault, you ruined ..."
To her sister’s accusation, the older sister actually nodded slightly.
"Sorry, you’re right."
"It’s all my fault."
What?
Stella was stunned on the spot, looking at Svanni in disbelief.
"What did you say...?"
She admitted it?
That arrogant, never-concerned-with-her proud person actually admitted it?
How could she admit it!
"I was the one who ruined you, it was my reason that you beca the way you are now."
Svanni smiled bitterly and sighed softly, "I thought if I left, you could escape fate, but I didn’t expect to cause you to be targeted by It."
It?
Wait!
Clearly, it was a matter of a twin curse, why ntion It?
Stella sensed sothing was wrong, hoarsely asking, "What... are you talking about?"
Seeing Stella’s continued confusion, the sadness in Svanni’s eyes deepened, she softly said, "Stella, have you still not understood?"
