They first glanced at Tyler and then at the female lead and instantly understood that this girl perhaps had the method to control humans. This thought sent a chill in their spines. Some of them quickly wanted to go and help Tyler, but Clay stopped them.
"Neil and Tyler are professionals. They would deal with this."
But the male lead really didn't know how to deal with this situation. When he saw his baby falling on the ground in pain, the color from his face drained instantly. He really didn't know what to do at this moment and really regretted not powering up sooner.
But what else could he do? He gritted his teeth and attacked the female lead.
After powering up, Neil had become as strong as Tyler, but he clearly wasn't Hope's opponent. So he couldn't even make the female lead budge.
On the other side, Tyler was still trying to protect himself, but he felt like he was about to fail. So in desperation, he glanced at the male lead while taking frequents as if he was exhausted and had run a marathon. And while stuttering, he said, "G-Get away."
"No!" The male lead knew what this person wanted to do, and instantly he glared at the female lead. This girl had successfully managed to get on his blacklist. Now he really wanted to kill this person, not even caring for the world arcs.
So he gathered his power on the top of his palms. Air and water circulated around his hand, transforming into boiled water. If he could create ice out of water and air, he could also make drops of boiled water enough to kill any zombie!
He glanced at the female lead coldly and was just about to urge his power ahead when he felt a tug on his shirt. He looked down only to see Tyler lying on the ground, still tugging his pants.
"Don't…Don't kill her." Tyler knew that this wasn't the time to kill this girl. Even if they had planned to kill the female lead in exchange for Tyler at the end of the arc, It didn't mean that they would just kill her anytime! The last arc still hadn't arrived yet, and they didn't want to create havoc in this world. Otherwise, the one who would be suffering would definitely be the male lead.
And Tyler didn't want that. Neil had already suffered enough for his sake in many worlds previously. So he didn't want that man to go through more worlds alone.
On the other side, Neil could perceive his baby's thoughts and gritted his teeth, taking away his power. But then he thought. Even if he couldn't really do anything to this female lead, he could surely cripple her!
So he used his ice method to break Hope's legs as the female lead fell on the ground, screaming in pain. Suddenly, throbbing pain receded from Tyler's head, and he was able to take deep breaths. His shoulders relaxed. After a while, he got on his feet and instantly created a massive fire wall between him and the female lead.
At this time, the female lead was cornered once again, but she was still smiling. She looked deeply at the male lead and smiled. "Did you really think I aimed to control our beloved zombie king?"
Neil didn't say anything, but he increased the power that was still injuring the female lead's legs. The girl screamed in pain again and spat blood on the ground, glaring hatefully at the male lead.
"I want to destroy both of you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become like this." Then she glanced at the crowd of people who were still fighting with zombies and grinned. "What will happen if I tell them the truth?"
"They won't believe you." Tyler conversed with the female lead for the first time.
But she wasn't worried about Tyler's coldness. Instead, she chuckled coldly and said, "Do you want to try?" And before she could do anything, she turned to look at the people standing around her and yelled. "Poor humans! How foolish you guys are to be blindly getting manipulated by a zombie king!"
The crowd of humans instantly stopped attacking, and surprisingly, the zombies were also not fighting. It was as if they were statues, standing before them lifelessly. They were stunned at this. Was Hope trying to tell them something? They instantly stared at her, not knowing how to respond.
Should they consider her a hero or a villain? At this time, she was standing on the opposite side, and listening to her would be the worst thing they could do. Many people knew this fact.
But they didn't expect that the female lead would just say something about the zombie king.
Zombie king? Who was she talking about?
Some of them had seen Tyler holding his head in pain and instantly grew suspicious. They glanced at the man with narrowed eyes and couldn't believe what Hope said just now.
They didn't know what to believe.
And even Hope could tell that the humans did not believe her. "Hmph! I knew you wouldn't trust me. So let me just give you a demonstration!"
Instantly, Tyler's eyes widened. He knew what this girl wanted to do and glanced at Neil and whispered, "Go!"
The male lead's mind was going crazy at this time. He didn't look at his baby, who was urging him to go away and glared at the female lead hatefully.
This person really deserved to die!
And on the other side, Tyler was getting anxious. Since he had already seen how it felt when he was being controlled, he didn't want to feel it ever again! And he knew that if Hope were to control him for the second time, he wouldn't be able to suppress his impulse to give in and listen to her orders.
He was terrified.
But before he could get a chance, a throbbing pain surfaced his brain once again, making him fall on his knees.
A series of orders passed through his brain, making him desperate. But he really felt tired. He didn't want to do this anymore. He couldn't fight anymore. This zombie queen was way more powerful than he had expected. So he didn't know how to deal with this kind of situation.
So he glanced at the male lead with moistened eyes and mouthed a few words.
"Kill me when the time comes."
