Chapter 167 Mutation
Maeve did not hesitate at all. She didn't want her life to be someone else's game. Even though her superpowers brought her wealth and fame, she would rather give them up and gain freedom.
Ling Yuan nodded. He could more or less guess Maeve's decision. Her choice to compromise with Vought Group and Homelander did not mean that she was willing to go along with them.
Ling Yuan slightly hooked his fingers, and a ray of black divine power was drawn out from Maeve's body. Maeve's body trembled. She couldn't see the black divine power, but she could feel that something in her body seemed to be leaving.
When Ling Yuan was planning to exorcise the black power in Maeve's body in one fell swoop, Maeve suddenly grabbed Ling Yuan's arm. Ling Yuan looked down and saw Maeve staring at him.
"Yuan... If I really lose my ability, can you please protect me?"
Maeve stared at Ling Yuan and asked the question she was most worried about. She could think of it, and Ling Yuan could see it. Once she lost her ability, she could no longer stay in the Seven. Then, the first person to be hit would be Madeline, and then Homelander. Madeline was still okay, but Homelander would definitely take her life!
"Okay!" Ling Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. After all, it was not a difficult task, just something that could be done easily.
Seeing that Ling Yuan agreed to her request, Maeve nodded and sat back on the sofa. Ling Yuan continued to peel off the divine power that controlled Maeve's fate from her body bit by bit. In order not to hurt Maeve, he could only do it carefully.
Maeve couldn't see the divine power in Ling Yuan's hands, but Kara could. Looking at Ling Yuan's cautious look, Kara couldn't help but worry for Ling Yuan.
When the last black thread was slowly pulled out of Maeve's body, Ling Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. His tense nerves were also released at this moment, and beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.
The reason why the divine power could be separated from the locomotive was because the locomotive died in Ling Yuan's hands. There was no need to worry about damaging anything when doing this to a dead person. However, Maeve was a real living person. According to the destructive power of the divine power, even if Maeve was a superpower, she could be killed by accident.
This was even more true for Maeve. She felt as if she had suddenly broken free from her restraints and became incredibly light. The heaviness was like a huge rock weighing on her body that suddenly disappeared, giving her the urge to spread her wings and fly high.
Her abilities did not disappear, but the fact that her fate was out of her control brought her a sense of spiritual relief. But just with that, Maeve felt an indescribable sense of relief. The life of the past few decades had not been as comfortable as this moment.
At this moment, Maeve's body was full of strength and vitality, and her previous fatigue and sadness were swept away. She took a deep breath, feeling the freshness in the air, and this feeling of rebirth intoxicated her.
"Thank you, Lingyuan." Maeve said sincerely.
Ling Yuan wiped the sweat off his face and felt relieved when he realized that Maeve had not lost her ability. If Maeve had lost her ability, then Ling Yuan would have to find another way to complete the system's task.
"Nothing, just a small matter..."
Before Ling Yuan could finish his words, Maeve suddenly rolled her eyes and fell on the sofa. Ling Yuan and Kara were shocked and were about to check on Maeve's condition when endless black air surged out of Maeve's body and quickly enveloped Maeve's body.
Maeve opened her eyes again, looking at Ling Yuan with hatred in her eyes. Ling Yuan calmly met the gaze of "Maeve". He knew very well that although the person in front of him was Maeve, the soul in her body was no longer Maeve.
"Little guy, what you do really annoys me. Do people from other worlds want to meddle in the affairs of this world?" "Maeve" said.
Ling Yuan shook his head and waved his hand to signal Kara, who was facing a formidable enemy, to retreat. He stared at "Maeve" with a hint of coldness.
"Since you've done this, you should be prepared to be discovered and stopped!" Ling Yuan said calmly, "Besides, ordinary people have become playthings of gods. The gods of this world are incompetent enough to only be able to manipulate the fate of ordinary people, isn't that right? Odin!"
Maeve's eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze was as condensed as if she wanted to see through the person in front of her. Her beautiful and cold face was even more stern at this moment, and her expressionless face revealed a chilling aura. Just like that, she stared at Ling Yuan motionlessly, as if she wanted to find some answers or flaws from him. Time passed by, but Maeve's eyes never relaxed at all, as if she was having a silent contest with Ling Yuan.
"You actually know who I am?"
Ling Yuan raised the corner of his mouth: "The gods in this world are too weak, so weak that I can tell your identity just by looking at your divine power!"
"Really?" Odin sneered, "Then let's give it a try!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Odin began to control Maeve's body. He waved his hands and a powerful divine power suddenly emerged from Maeve's body. This power was like a surging wave, sweeping towards Lingyuan.
Ling Yuan felt the threat from Odin, but he did not retreat, but responded immediately. Ling Yuan waved his hands, and Odin's attack disappeared without a trace. But Ling Yuan did not dare to attack Odin. Maeve's existence was extremely important to his next plan, so Ling Yuan could not let Maeve get hurt no matter what.
In this battle, Odin had Ling Yuan in his control. He understood that Maeve still needed to be alive for Ling Yuan, and it would not be as easy for Ling Yuan to deal with her as he did with Hermod.
"Ah la... I can't let you destroy my home, it's worth a lot of money!"
Suddenly, Ling Yuan seized an opportunity and hit Maeve on the chest. Ling Yuan's divine power burst out, instantly suppressing Odin's divine power. At the same time, a ray of divine power quietly injected into Maeve's body, intending to dispel Odin's control.
Odin felt as if his consciousness was pressed down by a mountain. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free from Ling Yuan's suppression. He had to temporarily stop controlling Maeve's body.
"I've told you before, your divine power is too weak for me!"
Ling Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at Maeve's body which had calmed down in his hands. Ling Yuan's eyes were deep, as if he could see the soul of Odin hidden in Maeve's body.
"This is... a high-level divine power! How can you have this kind of power?!"
Controlled by Ling Yuan, Odin was filled with fear and shock. He could never have imagined that the man in front of him possessed power far more terrifying than his.
Ling Yuan's whole body was shaken with divine power, and a black soul was shaken out of Maeve's body. Maeve slowly fell backwards. Just as Maeve was about to fall to the ground, a figure flashed by. Kara was standing behind Ling Yuan holding the unconscious Maeve, looking at the soul that was shaken out by Ling Yuan.
