Lorelei’s Final Chapter

The enormous tentacles scattered throughout reality were not lifeless objects. Those bodies rich in divinity teemed with all kinds of souls.

Zhang Ye opened his bloody maw and let out a roar. Immediately, the tentacles surged wildly toward him as though drawn by a magnet.

The sight was truly spectacular.

Tentacles of all sizes filled the sky like giant pythons. They slithered swiftly through the air, continuously descending to the ground, approaching Zhang Ye and covering his body.

As the muscles writhed, they made an eerie sound like grinding teeth. Blackish-blue mucus flowed from the huge suckers, but Zhang Ye paid it no mind.

Every tentacle that touched his skin shattered apart, then began to gather anew within Zhang Ye’s body.

Zhang Ye wore an expression of pure enjoyment, as if he were not surrounded by revolting tentacles, but receiving a premium massage at some enormous foot spa.

Lorelei was too shocked to speak. She stared at Zhang Ye in terror and quickly backed away.

The scene had completely exceeded her expectations. She did not know what Zhang Ye was, but she knew that if she did not want to die, she had better leave this planet immediately.

"Why, the battle isn’t over yet!" Pietro appeared behind Lorelei in the blink of an eye, staring coldly at this being from myth.

Lorelei shuddered. But when she saw that Pietro was the one blocking her path, she instead breathed a sigh of relief. Then she forced out a smile, locked eyes with Pietro, and gave him a seductive smile.

The next moment, a hand gripped her shoulder from behind, accompanied by icy words.

"If you dare use your enchantment magic again, I’ll snap your neck right now."

Lorelei’s body stiffened. The force on her shoulder told her that the other person was clearly not joking. That girl really could do it.

Her gaze shifted. Shocker had been beaten into high-level paralysis and was not far from death. Wild Child had long since been drained into a mummified corpse by Blood Baron. As for Green Goblin, his body was tangled with the wreckage of his glider, crashed amid the nearby ruins.

"Let me go, please let me go. I surrender." Lorelei frowned and gave an awkward smile.

"You still don’t seem to understand the situation." Pietro looked at Lorelei with utter disgust. "What makes you think we’d spare you? After all the unforgivable things you’ve done."

"It was Osborn. They forced me. I didn’t want to do this either, but if I didn’t help them, they would exile me and Asgard to another dimension." Lorelei spoke pitifully.

At that moment, Lorelei’s expression was enough to make any man lose control. She was skilled at stirring the tenderness buried deep within a man’s heart, and even better at making men feel unwavering sympathy for her.

But remembering the "heroes" hanging from wooden poles, Pietro only felt sickened to the core as she looked at Lorelei’s beautiful face.

"Liar."

Lorelei furrowed her brows and opened her mouth, wanting to explain herself, but a terrifying presence quickly swept over her. The immense pressure made her heart skip a beat.

The three turned their heads and saw Zhang Ye looking at them with a harmless smile on his face.

Although Zhang Ye looked no different from an ordinary human now, Lorelei’s gaze was filled with terror. As a Black Wizard herself, she could clearly sense his power, and the constantly writhing shadow beneath his feet was proof enough.

"Witch Raven, are you… all right?" Kara tilted her head, making no effort to hide the concern in her voice.

"I’m fine. I already said you don’t need to worry about me." Zhang Ye smiled confidently, then walked briskly over to Lorelei, his eyes full of amusement. "Lorelei, I really should thank you. In this wasteland world where magic is so scarce, you’ve been a tremendous help."

"D-don’t mention it. It’s my honor to be of help to you." Lorelei smiled faintly, her eyes filled with pleading.

"Don’t look at me like that. I told you before, you were my target when I came here. This has nothing to do with justice or evil. What you have done in this world was wrong to begin with. I only want to change this place, and the divine power in your body can help me."

Zhang Ye’s tone was calm, but his words stirred up a raging storm in Lorelei’s heart.

She wanted to resist, but surrounded by Zhang Ye, Pietro, and Kara, she had no ability to struggle. She turned and cast enchantment magic at Absorbing Man in the distance, trying to make him do something.

But to her horror, her foolproof enchantment magic failed once again. Absorbing Man’s mind had clearly been affected by it, yet he still averted his gaze, turning a blind eye to Lorelei and Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye’s shadow spread out on its own and merged with Lorelei’s shadow. In an instant, Lorelei felt herself lose control of her body. She could not even feel her legs.

Soon, several tentacles extended from the shadows, winding around Lorelei’s body and enveloping her.

"No, don’t, please! I can do anything for you!" Lorelei cried out in despair. She could feel her magical energy being continuously absorbed and broken down by something.

Charging

The color was drained from Lorelei’s golden hair, turning strand after strand white. Her alluring face visibly aged at a rapid pace, wrinkles carving themselves into her smooth cheeks and leaving her utterly haggard.

Super fast charging 68.82%.

After all of Asgard’s royal family had died, the divine power remaining throughout the universe and in Valhalla had all converged within Lorelei’s body. Though she could not control all of that power, it was excellent energy for the Time Twister.

"Y-you… will regret this."

Lorelei spoke in a hoarse voice. She was already on the verge of death.

"A being like you, walking through the wasteland… will definitely draw the attention of others."

"Whether it’s Red Skull or Doctor Doom, they… they definitely won’t stand by and do nothing."

Lorelei trembled as she exhaled, then tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"The enormous magical energy here can be felt by the entire world… You can’t hide anymore."

"You think you can rest easy? Those people will find you. They’ll definitely find you! Hahaha… Let’s see how long you can keep acting so arrogant!"

Lorelei’s body gradually turned into starlight.

"I’ll be waiting below…"
