Dominating Evolution of the Cosmos

Steve ignored Christina's refusal. The moment he embraced Christina, the pain of the burning fire intensified. It was as if all of his cells were being burned to ashes, and his soul was being burned in the fire of hell!

However, Steve endured the severe pain. The reason why Christina had to bear such severe pain was because she wanted to save him. Thus, he would not give up easily.

Christina was stunned as she stared at Steve, who was being burned by fire. At this moment, she was greatly moved. This was an emotion that she had never felt before. Embracing someone was a normal thing to do, but when Steve gave her a hug, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace and warmth fill her heart.

"Although you entered her subconscious world, your consciousness is still your own. Use your subconscious to stimulate her subconscious vitality..." Judy's voice sounded in Steve's mind.

A subconscious mind had infinite possibilities. Upon thinking of this, Steve constantly conceived an illusion, while his body slowly emitted a cold aura. The aura felt as if it was using ice that had been frozen for thousands of years constantly as it dispersed the burning fire. He had used his own strength to fight the Demonic Fire!

Steve could feel the fire in his body getting weaker, and in the end, he seemed to have turned into a huge ice cube. Christina, who was currently in Steve's embrace, felt that Steve was getting colder and colder, and the fire in her was being driven away gradually.

Soon, she felt comfortable once more. At that point, Christina could not help but stretch out her hands and hug Steve.

"That's not enough yet. You have to make her have the desire to survive," Judy said.

Steve looked determined. Though the cold aura of his body made Christina feel comfortable, the fire in her seemed like a powerful stove, one which would not stop burning.

"Christina, all of this is your illusion. In the subconscious world, all of your pain is your own imagination. Think about your family, your goals..." Steve whispered in Christina's ears. "You also need to lead the Masa Group in building an enormous business empire."

Christina, who was initially despairing, suddenly got a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Her desire for survival instantly began to grow stronger.

"No... I can't get out of this sea of fire. The Demonic Fire burns my body and my soul! I will be burned into ashes..." As Christina struggled with her pain, it was written all over her face.

"You're not dead yet. Your body is still alive. Believe me. Use your subconscious power to extinguish this fire," Steve said as he held Christina's hand tightly.

Under Steve's guidance, Christina gradually stabilized and was able to calm herself. Her desire for survival began to grow stronger once more. She then began to try to expel the fire.

The most obvious change was in Christina's physical vitality. It was as if she was stimulated by some kind of jolt of power and began to grow stronger.

"It's not enough for her subconscious mind to stimulate her desire to survive." Judy started operating the system and injected a serum into Christina.

A strong sense of survival would be able to stimulate a cell's survival potential, but to dispel the remaining power of Demon Collic in her body was another matter altogether. Under Judy's operation, the remaining power of Demon Collic in Christina's body was extracted out, bit by bit. Her own strong desire to survive, together with the help of the serum, triggered a rapid repair of her destroyed viscera and so on.

"Christina's situation has stabilized for the time being, but as for the other one..." Judy frowned and looked at Wendy.

Compared with Christina's situation, Wendy's situation was very bad. So far, there had been no response from Wendy...

...

In Wendy's subconscious world…

This gray world had no color or life. It was filled with only decay, destruction, and death.

Steve came looking for Wendy, but could not find any trace of her. "Wendy! Wendy!" he called, but when he got no response, he became even more anxious.

"Judy, why is there no response, even after I called her several times?" Steve asked.

"Her body is dying and her subconscious world is collapsing. Her soul is dissipating and dying. You have to use special methods to summon her soul," Judy said.

"Special methods..." Steve frowned.

Wendy's body was dying and her soul was fading away. As such, the whole gray world was filled with fragments of her soul. It was not easy to gather these fragments.

Steve was anxious, as his understanding of Wendy was limited. For Christina, he had used what she cared most in her heart in order to stimulate her desire for survival.

But, Steve had no idea what Wendy was concerned about or even what family she had. Moreover, Wendy's conscious world was collapsing quickly, indicating that she did not have much time left.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Steve finally thought of another method, and he said, "Miss Wendy, I know you can hear me. I'm very grateful to you for saving me."

Steve then paused before he said, "To thank you for saving my life, I've decided to tell you my true identity."

Boom…

Wendy's subconscious world suddenly fluctuated violently. Steve's eyes lit up when he saw the situation, as it showed that his words had been effective.

"Actually, my real identity is a person you already know," Steve said.

Her subconscious world fluctuated again, and Steve felt a faint wave of a soul gathering.

"Don't you want to see for yourself who the clown pharmacist is?" Steve asked. "I believe that all of Blue Star Mankind is very interested in my identity."

In front of Steve, the gray mist suddenly formed a whirlpool, in which a little fluorescent light flashed. Wendy's soul was condensing! After a while, a hazy transparent soul suddenly appeared.

Though Christina's subconscious world was burning with Demonic Fire, her own soul was still intact. Now, touching her subconscious body felt the same as touching her physical body.

However, Wendy's soul was very weak and transparent now. But, Wendy's soul soon finally condensed. Upon seeing this, Steve slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you really going to tell me your true identity now?" Wendy asked.

"Since you were willing to give up your life to save me, you are clearly a trustworthy person. I believe in you, so I have decided to tell you my true identity," Steve said.

"But, the mask on my face needs to be removed by your hands alone."
