Zhan Fei looked at Ji Fengyan in trepidation. By this time, he already did not dare to hide anything from her.
“I… I am also not too sure, but I have heard the Eldest Princess talking about it a little. There seems to be a side effect accompanying a terminator’s powers. When they use the World-Termination-Armour more frequently, these side effects will appear earlier.” Zhan Fei gulped and eyed Ji Fengyan cautiously. When he saw that she did not have any reaction, he continued speaking.
“Actually, if General Ji knew more about a terminator, you realise that the more valiant a terminator was on the battlefield, the shorter their lifespan. The reason for this comes from the side effects from the World-Termination-Armour and His Majesty also knew about this, so… Once he realised that the side effects had reached a certain extent, he would command the terminator to join the battle with the Green Nightmare Army, then… using Situ Ba’s hands, get rid of the other party and also to retrieve the mark of the World-Termination-Armour.”
Zhan Fei said all these to save himself but he was very clear that once he said these, there would be huge implications.
“Do you know what the side effects are?” Ji Fengyan asked calmly.
Zhan Fei immediately shook his head. “I don’t know about these. This is the first time I’ve joined the army and I had very few interactions with the other terminators while serving the Eldest Princess, so… I do not really understand the situation.”
Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes. What Zhan Fei had said was most likely true—he really did not know the side effects of using the world-termination-armour.
But…
She might know.
The image of Yang Shun transforming into a demon flashed across her mind uncontrollably. Yang Shun was already 34-year-old that year. With an average lifespan of 35-year-old for a terminator, he was already close to his limit and after many years of battling, the side effects that Yang Shun had experienced should have exceeded the critical point. When Situ Ba had exploded the underground passageways, Yang Shun might have exceeded his critical point, causing him to… transform into a creature just like a demon.
Strong and crazy, with no sense of control and consciousness.
When Ji Fengyan fought with the transformed Yang Shun, his gaze did not differ from a demon—the killing intent in his eyes had even exceeded that of ordinary demons.
The instant he had transformed, Yang Shun was no longer himself anymore.
With the string of clues forming a huge web of information in Ji Fengyan’s head, it revealed the unknown secrets of a terminator.
Suddenly, Ji Fengyan’s eyes landed on Liu Huo, who was at the side, and her gaze filled with complicated emotions.
“Do you know something?” she asked softly.
The day that Liu Huo had known that she was a terminator, he had already made her sworn to never use the World-Termination-Armour.
Liu Huo’s eyelids were drooping and hid the conflicted emotions he had in his eyes. After staying silent for some time, that slightly cold voice slowly spoke.
“The World-Termination-Armour and a terminator are not what everyone had known to be. They are the weapons that the monarchs have used to deal with the demon clan.” Liu Huo slowly lifted his head to meet with Ji Fengyan’s eyes.
“During their lifetime, they will enjoy all the glory and praises but after their deaths, they would become a joke. Ever since the start, they belonged to a race that should not have existed.”
A race…
Ji Fengyan’s eyes was slightly shocked!
“A terminator was never a human.” Liu Huo’s brows were tightly knitted together, showing his resistance to continue at that point in time.
