"Vibba, don't forget, it's two against one now (obviously, she didn't count Nia)," Mengdie stepped forward coldly, her left glove of water already enveloped in a mist, "Back then, I managed to take one of your arms and an eye. With your current battered body, standing against the stronger me and Edward is surely a losing battle."
Indeed, looking at Vibba now, although his right arm prosthesis could perform some simple movements, it was clear it wasn't as dexterous as a real limb. Moreover, his 'Gods' pills were probably only effective on his real flesh, meaning his artificial arm would be a liability in battle!
However...
Vibba reached into his robe and pulled out a pill, placing it on his palm. Under the flickering lightning, Mengdie and the others clearly saw it wasn't the strongest of the 'Gods', 'Fire God', but a colorless, transparent pill!
"Heh heh, see this?" Vibba's pill glinted ominously in the electric light. Mengdie was instantly on high alert, ready for any sudden attack.
Vibba proudly held up the pill, smirking coldly, "Let me tell you, this is the 'Heavenly God,' the most powerful of the 'Gods' series, developed by Lord Black Shadow. But its power is so overwhelming that ordinary people burst open upon consuming it. Even my former body, cultivated by Lord Black Shadow himself, probably couldn't withstand its immense power!"
"But now it's different. Wretch, I should thank you for taking my eye and arm! Now, when I consume the 'Heavenly God', the excessive power will flow out through my wounds, not harming me at all! Then, I can unleash the true strength of being one of the four generals! And you lot, will be less than ants in my eyes!"

With a thunderous roar, Nia covered her ears and screamed. In the pale light, Vibba's smirk became more twisted and evil!
Negotiations had clearly failed. Mengdie's tail stiffened in full alertness. But now, before the real battle began, she had one more thing to say.
"Vibba, your mother will weep for you."
"That mage called Black Shadow obviously used you as a guinea pig. From a frail patient, he turned you into this terrifying figure and had you test various drugs to observe your reactions and combat abilities! You were merely being used, didn't you ever consider how heartbroken your mother would be to know of your current state and involvement with such an organization!"
"Heh, heartbroken?" Vibba's arrogant smile suddenly held a hint of despair, "No, my mother won't be heartbroken. She'll be happy! I'm no longer the weak patient I once was, but now a powerful being far superior to ordinary people! Lord Black Shadow gave me everything I needed, he saved me and made me an honored member of the Black Flame Snake! So what if I'm his puppet? Being a guinea pig is nothing compared to the humiliation I suffered before!!!"
"Whoa!" Unable to contain himself, Edward lunged forward with his sword, aiming for Vibba's chest with a swift strike! In the darkness, his inconspicuous obsidian sword held unmatched advantage, especially after being trained by Rand, his swordplay was faster and more accurate! Vibba barely saw the blade in the dark and hastily retreated, raising his right arm to block. With a light swish, his prosthetic arm was severed.
"Ha, quick swordplay! Prince of Silver Moon, you've gotten stronger since last time!"
"Stop talking! Where have you taken the King's Cup? Even if you become powerful after swallowing that, I'm confident I can sever your other arm before you do!"
Edward was genuinely furious. He raised his massive sword with one hand, aiming it at Vibba, while his left hand formed a fist at his waist. Soon, a small blue-green orb of light appeared in his palm.
Sensing danger, Vibba quickly retreated. However, instead of swallowing the 'Heavenly God' in his left hand, he tucked it into his robe, his single eye showing a venomous smirk.
"Hmph, kill me? You might have had a chance without swallowing the 'Heavenly God.' But do you have the time? Or rather, does that wretch over there have the time?"
Mengdie was startled, unsure of Vibba's intent. At that moment, a series of explosions erupted from the direction of the village!!!
"Boom—! Boom boom—!!"
Under the dark night sky, flames erupted from the village, lighting the sky with a bloody hue. The cries of agony soon followed, and the air filled with the stench of charred flesh.
"You bastard—!!!" The sight of death filled Mengdie's eyes as she turned back, her fists of fire and water swelling with power.
"You monster! How could the Black Flame Snake brainwash you to the point of burning your own hometown?!"
