Victor had never been to the outside world and was completely unaware of the approaching danger.
Xia Yangyang felt helpless, thinking about whether Victor could withstand artillery fire with his current strength. It seemed that Victor sensed her anxiety and held her even tighter.
"Don't worry, I will protect you."
"It should be me protecting you." Xia Yangyang pondered the chances of survival if they surrendered now.
Although she would meet a tragic end in this realm, becoming a creature neither human nor ghost after losing her uterus, at least she would have completed her mission and could move on to the next realm.
But Victor absolutely could not die; if the male lead of this realm died, it would completely collapse.
Victor had to stay alive until the child was born.
Just as Xia Yangyang resolved to trade her life for his, the system finally spoke up.
"There is actually a way, though it carries significant risk. However, if successful, it will allow both of you to escape smoothly. You can spend 1000 Luck Points in the shop to buy a One-Star Phantom skill—Shadow Shift. By swapping the appearances of the two of you, you can confuse your enemies. To each other, you will appear unchanged, but to outsiders, you will look like each other."
With the system's support, Xia Yangyang could predict attacks. She could pretend to be Victor to draw fire away while he escaped first.
But now the question was how to tell Victor.
She patted Victor's shoulder, her voice trembling: "Victor, run! There are so many helicopters in the sky; they must be here to capture us."
Victor looked up at the dozens of black dots hovering in the sky and frowned in disgust: "How can humans tame such colossal machines? Such disrespect for nature will surely lead to their own downfall one day."
He tightened his hold on his partner and suddenly plunged into the sea, swimming quickly toward deeper waters.
The distance from the coastal area to deep water was vast.
Upon discovering their escape, the military immediately dispatched fishing boats for pursuit at sea, launching harpoons to catch them. Faced with the attack, they could only evade and had no means to counterattack.
However, the injuries on Victor made it difficult for him to swim well.
Hearing the muffled groans beside her, Xia Yangyang pushed against his chest in tears.
"Victor, I'm just a burden. Don't worry about me, just go!"
Victor's eyes turned red: "Shut up, I said I would keep you safe."
With sheer strength, he overturned a pursuing ship.
However, the water was filled with steel cables forming a net that ensnared him no matter how strong he was. Xia Yangyang tried to break free, but Victor held her tightly in his embrace.
They could no longer move.
The hard steel wires tore through the black cloth, and Xia Yangyang gasped in horror as she saw steel bars piercing through Victor's sides, slanting through his waist.
How did he ensure that she remained unharmed? Xia Yangyang couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with her hands, as if tears were about to burst forth at any moment.
Victor scoffed: "Is this scaring you? It's nothing serious. I'm not good at long-range combat, but no one can match me in close combat. When they get closer, I'll kill them all without leaving a trace."
Xia Yangyang shook her head tremblingly: "You can't do that. If this continues, neither of us will survive."
Victor felt his abilities were being questioned and grew even angrier, holding her tighter.
Xia Yangyang couldn't break free no matter what.
Finally, she broke down: "Let me go, Victor. I'm begging you, let me go."
Victor was irritated by her stubbornness: "Going out is certain death. Even if I die, I will be your strongest armor. I'm just protecting you."
"You are dragging me to my doom." Xia Yangyang's pale face lifted slightly.
"Can't you see it yet? From the beginning, they were after me. I'm just a death row inmate who has tried every possible way to survive. After finally escaping, I don't want to be locked back in that hellish place where I can't see the light of day."
Victor doubted he had heard her correctly. Faced with her desperate and broken emotions, his massive body became stiff. "What did you say?"
Xia Yangyang's humble plea felt utterly foreign to Victor. "Please, if you're willing to die, then just die, but at least leave me a way out."
His beautifully striking eyes were now filled with indifference, so filthy that one would want to gouge them out.
Victor's dark gaze fixed on her. "I don't understand what you're saying."
Xia Yangyang shook her head in tears. "You understand. Let me go, okay?"
Marine creatures are born loyal and can sacrifice their lives to protect their partners, but humans are treacherous and cunning, driven by self-interest.
Victor couldn't express how much he hated her at that moment. "Are humans in a crisis as cowardly as you?"
Xia Yangyang closed her eyes. "But humans are also skilled at deception like I am."
At that moment, Victor did not grasp the deeper meaning of her words and did not understand the double entendre; he merely thought she was mocking his innocence and emotions.
It wasn't until many years later that he suddenly realized the truth, leaving him with irreparable tears of regret.
