Chapter 206: Say My Name

The planetary turbine seemed to be turning slightly, and the interior appeared as hot as a volcano. In reality, the high-energy particles inside could only be seen with cutting-edge particle instruments, spinning at the speed of light.

From time to time, Scar, Apollo, and Artemis would regain a bit of their strength, only to be accelerated by the high-energy particles traveling at the speed of light, dispersing the power they had gathered to a point where it was unsustainable, and they would lapse into unconsciousness, giving them a chance to rest.

They constantly fell into a state where they had a bit of strength, then their consciousness would blur again.

After another round of expenditure, the planetary turbine slowly began to decelerate the high-energy particles, and the floating mechanical auxiliary ends used constrained traction beams to lift them three up, preparing to imprison them for inspection.

With a 'pop,' H'el appeared here in an instant, displacing the surrounding air. His gaze swept over the Apollo and Artemis, who looked like skeletons, and settled on Scar.

Seeing H'el appear, the floating mechanical auxiliary ends bowed slightly and lowered their heads, showing respect to H'el.

"Put her down," H'el said.

The floating mechanical auxiliary ends used constrained traction beams to pull Scar, whose blue skin was pressed tightly against her bones, a whole humanoid blue skeleton, in front of H'el. They bowed slightly, then left with Apollo and Artemis.

Scar's closed blue eyelids couldn't help but tremble as the vivid scene of H'el violently beating her manifested in her mind.

H'el walked up to her, towering over her, reached out, grabbed her chin, lifted her up, and brought her within twenty centimeters of his face.

"Open your eyes!" H'el's indifferent attitude was almost like that of a domineering CEO in a soap opera.

Scar felt flustered and panicked, genuinely afraid of death and terrified of facing H'el. In her heart, H'el had already ranked first on the list of fears, surpassing her lifelong nightmare, Doomsday. After all, Doomsday was purely a destructive creature, devoid of reason.

But H'el, not only did he have energy that was difficult to deplete no matter how it was consumed, but he also beat her violently and killed Yak bare-handed.

Scar was afraid of reliving the past.

"What do you want, Kryptonian!"

Her blue eyelids trembled as they opened, revealing a pair of bright, soul-penetrating eyes, like those of a three or four-year-old child. When she saw H'el's face, she instinctively flashed panic and fear, then her eyes hardened, flickering with anger.

"Are you afraid of Kryptonians?"

H'el's eyes stared into Scar's large eyes, which had weakened to such an extent that Scar had no remaining strength to use telepathic power. He saw her truest reaction from the depths of her heart.

Scar didn't speak, but the anger in her eyes grew stronger and stronger.

Her fear of Kryptonians was deeply ingrained, etched into the depths of her soul, and engraved in her genes.

Only by continuously hunting Kryptonians, hunting them down, could she alleviate a bit of her restless fear.

What she truly feared was not Doomsday, but the Kryptonian race.

The fear was so great that even killing them all couldn't stop this nightmare.

During the ancient cosmic war, captured by Kryptonians, she was used for horrific genetic experiments, leaving behind a deep-seated fear of the entire Kryptonian race.

No one knew what kind of genetic modification experiments Scar had undergone, not even the cosmic guardians.

The average height of cosmic guardians was only about 1.2 meters, but Scarface stood out as an anomaly, genetically modified by Kryptonians to reach a height of 1.7 meters, which filled her with resentment toward her own height.

Because this height constantly reminded her of her fear.

This fear reached its peak when facing Doomsday, the ultimate creation of Kryptonians.

And now, facing H'el, who had defeated the source of her fear, Doomsday, she was directly stimulated by her unbearable past.

Her eyes cracked, and blue veins spread across the whites of her eyes like parasites, extremely horrifying.

Her fear turned into anger.

H'el pinched Scar's blue, beautiful chin, his eyes shimmering with telepathic power.

"I will become your deepest fear.

In the future, when you face a formidable power like me, one that leaves you hopeless and unable to resist, just like the manifestation of Doomsday, reveal the fear hidden deep within you, call out my name—H'el!"

Strange telepathic power flickered in H'el's eyes, penetrating into Scar's heart, deeply ingraining itself as Scar's hidden fear.

Kryptonian = Doomsday, H'el, who defeated the manifested Doomsday, became the new fear, buried deep within her psyche.

"Are you manipulating your feeble telepathic power? My skills surpass yours. Once I regain my telepathic strength, with just a thought, I can erase whatever you've implanted in my mind."

Scar's eyes, filled with anger, bulged with blue veins, as she spoke coldly.

"You misunderstand. This is a conduit of power I'm granting you. When you face a formidable enemy and feel truly desperate, unable to fight back, you can try calling out my name to borrow my almost limitless energy.

I can be your fear, but I can also be your protector!"

H'el smirked, "You won't want to erase it."

This method of transmitting power actually originated from records left by Athena and the power borrowing contracts between wizards.

Just by calling out a name, one could borrow various divine powers and magic.

A simple and understandable example: Shazam.

Shazam was just such a thing, but H'el saw through this contract, and after detailed explanations from Athena, he modified it with his telepathic power to make it usable for himself.

As long as Scar called out H'el's name, she would receive the telepathic power H'el had implanted in her mind, regenerate her body at the genetic level, help her open spatial rifts within her cellular structure, and form powerful instant unlimited energy combat capabilities.

Scar, with anger blazing in her bulging eyes, stared fiercely at H'el and gritted her teeth, "I will! Definitely! Absolutely erase it!!!"

"Hahaha..."

H'el laughed, released Scar's chin, and turned to walk toward the door.

"Ganthet has agreed to exchange your basic willpower technology for you. You're not in any danger."

Scar's eyes widened even more, filled with hatred as she stared at H'el's broad back. As his black cape swayed, he disappeared from her sight like a devil descending into the abyss.

The moment H'el disappeared, Scar closed her eyes, her eyeballs swimming beneath her eyelids. She hugged her arms, curled her legs, and trembled violently.
