My avatar is becoming the final boss

Chapter 332 Osaka Battlefield, A Gothic Girl's One-Man Show (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
At the same time that Rainbow Wings' other ten members launched a surprise attack on the uninhabited island, Osaka Port, Japan.

"Gothic Doll" Esther and "Sentinel" Ke Qingzheng were ordered by the commander to remain at Osaka Port.

At that moment, they suddenly heard a loud bang and looked up at the distance at the same time.

Under the cover of night, one of the cabins of the Tianbaoshan Ferris Wheel suddenly exploded, and a five-meter-tall mutated light-devouring bee tore open the door and squeezed out.

It sucked up the moonlight, raised its ferocious head, and roared at the night sky.

Esther raised her red eyes. She hadn't been observing the giant light-eating bee at all, but instead stared motionlessly at the other corner of the Ferris wheel.

It was on the roof of a train car, where a half-human, half-bee creature with short, sea-blue hair and a sea-blue dress was lounging lazily.

As the Ferris wheel cabin slowly ascended, she swung her long legs in the night breeze, gazing playfully at the harbor with a childlike smile on her face.

It was as if they were being mocked, or as if a child was inviting others to play together.

"Little thing... is that the bee lord you were talking about?" Esther asked calmly, holding her rabbit doll.

“That’s right, she is the third queen of the Light-Eating Bees, ‘Cameron’.” Ke Qingzheng nodded.

He knew in his heart that, given Esther's personality, she would never look at the information on the four great bee lords.

"Then what is her ability?" Esther asked next.

"Her ability is to create mutated light-eating bees using human corpses," Ke Qingzheng explained. "According to Garfield's assessment, she is the weakest of the four queen bees, but her ability is well-suited to causing chaos in cities—if given enough human corpses, she could even create an army."

Esther yawned.

She smacked her lips and said listlessly, "Little thing, you take care of the mutated light-eating bees on that sightseeing boat and the Ferris wheel, and I'll take care of this queen bee."

"A sightseeing boat?"

As Ke Qing was asking the question, he turned his head to look at the sightseeing boat that was swimming in from the sea.

The scene that came into view was unbelievable: tourists were drinking and dancing on the deck, embracing each other like wild beasts who had lost their minds, tearing at each other's lips and bodies.

It was like a carnival before the end of the world.

The next moment, all the passengers on the sightseeing boat knelt on the ground, their clothes ripped open at the chest, revealing hearts with pulsating, sea-blue veins. Then, their bodies began the expected mutations.

Within seconds, giant light-eating bees were born. They gritted their teeth, their sharp, slender stingers splitting open to reveal mouths resembling those of carnivorous plants.

The sightseeing boat collapsed.

The giant bees spread their transparent wings together and flew towards the port amidst a deafening buzzing sound.

"The Three Bees Marquis might become invisible. Can you keep up with her?" Ke Qingzheng withdrew his gaze and asked expressionlessly.

“Are you talking to me, kid?” Esther said. “From the moment she came into my sight, I’ve already left a tracking ‘puppet string’ on her head. She can’t escape anywhere.”

She looked up at the night sky, and a faint, indistinct line had appeared above Cameron's head, the end of which was nowhere in the night sky.

Everyone except Esther, including Cameron, couldn't see the puppet line clearly.

At that moment, Esther closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her red pupils suddenly became empty.

The girl in the gothic dress was like a puppet on a stage, with empty eyes and a blank expression. Threads fell from her head, manipulating every part of her body, and her joints were stiffly bent upwards.

Finally, a transparent thread fell from somewhere in the night sky and connected to Esther's head.

Then she looked up, a cold, emotionless smile spreading across her face.

Ke Qingzheng knew that this was Esther's trump card - "Doll State".

Once in "doll form," Esther's body is no longer under her control, but is instead controlled by the "doll string" above her head, automatically making the most accurate actions in the current environment.

To put it simply, it's like turning on "AI takeover" mode.

"It's rare to see you so motivated. I'll leave the Three Bees Marquis to you, and I'll handle the miscellaneous soldiers."

Ke Qingzheng adjusted his glasses, then suddenly turned to the side, raised his right hand, and made a gun gesture.

The next moment, he aimed his fingertip at the mutated light-devouring bee that was causing trouble on the Tianbaoshan Ferris wheel, slightly bent his index finger, and pulled the invisible trigger.

In an instant, an air bullet, condensed to its ultimate form, burst forth from his fingertip!

"Bam—!"

A full second passed before the hissing sound of the air belatedly reached us.

The invisible air bullet spun and tore through the air, creating a sharp gust of wind that covered a kilometer in an instant. Then, it struck the five-meter-tall mutated light-devouring bee with unerring accuracy.

With a "whoosh," a hole with a radius of one meter suddenly burst open in its chest!

Blood gushed forth. It cried out in agony as it fell, crashing onto the amusement park floor.

Cameron, sitting on the roof of the carriage, saw this and raised an eyebrow.

She seemed to have never imagined that the bespectacled, short-haired man could kill her toy from a kilometer away, and hit a vital spot with perfect accuracy.

"A sharpshooter... Are there really such amazing humans?" Cameron clapped his hands, looking down at the mutated light-eating bee that had been hit by an air bullet and crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Screams and shouts rose and fell in the fog.

Cameron suddenly froze at that moment.

She snapped out of her daze, looked up abruptly, and found that the gothic doll Esther had already disappeared from her sight.

Not far away, Esther stepped on the wooden houses in the harbor, flew into the brightly lit streets, crossed telephone poles and billboards, and then landed on the top of the glass curtain wall of a skyscraper.

The girl in the gothic dress slightly bent her knees, concentrated her strength in her toes, and the next second, all the glass in the building shattered. Using the surging recoil, her figure was enveloped in a rain of flying glass, shooting straight forward.

At that moment, she was like a black umbrella swept away by a storm, the black hem of her gothic dress swaying wildly in the wind, her whole body moving so fast that she was just a blur!

In an instant, Esther's figure tore through the night sky and stepped into the Tempozan Ferris Wheel.

At the same time, Cameron unfurled her enormous, bird-feather-like wings, scattering a cloud of powder from them. Her form became transparent, instantly merging into the night and vanishing without a trace.

However, the girl in the gothic dress shot upwards on the Ferris wheel.

She was like a graceful seagull, soaring through the night sky, passing through the dazzling lights, relentlessly chasing after the direction Cameron had disappeared, her black tail feathers swaying in the wind.

Esther couldn't see Cameron's figure clearly, but she could see a puppet string falling from the sky, connecting to a corner of the night sky.

She knew in her heart that the end of the line was where Cameron was, so she relentlessly pursued Cameron's silhouette.

Meanwhile, at the distant port, Ke Qing saw that Esther had become serious, so he turned around to face the dozens of light-devouring bees flying in from the sightseeing boat.

With a swift movement, he wielded his blade, sending shards of air cleaving through the air with a deafening roar as they hurtled forward.

On the earth, dark ravines tore open and stretched straight forward.

The port's fence shattered the moment it was hit, and the next victims were naturally the swarm of mutated giant bees that had crowded in from the sea.

The sharp blades of air slashed past, silently carving out jagged grooves in their bodies!
Some had their thin wings cut off, others had their heads severed, and blood gushed out of the monsters' bodies like a flood, seemingly endless. It was as if even if they bled for a whole day, they still couldn't squeeze out all the filthy blood from their bodies.

As the saying goes, "the greatest truths are the simplest"—for Ke Qingzheng, nothing is as straightforward and satisfying as manipulating air to build an invisible giant for battle or manipulating air components to deprive the enemy of oxygen.

Unlike the others in Rainbow Wing who develop their abilities in all sorts of bizarre and flashy ways, Ke Qing is like a stubborn person who deliberately goes against the grain.

From the moment he was promoted to the Calamity level, he gave up on further developing the diverse applications of his superpowers.

Instead, they hone this simplest technique day after day, year after year, repeatedly engraving it into muscle memory.

It's like a craftsman relentlessly polishing the same rough sword blade day and night with the purest craftsmanship.

Every morning when he wakes up, he has only one thought in his mind: to make his hand chop faster, more accurate, and more ruthless!

With this goal in mind, Ke Qingzheng would swing his hand at least tens of thousands of times every day.

Several years later, his ascetic efforts yielded amazing results in actual combat, demonstrating the effect of "overcoming ten techniques with one force".

Now he wields his air blades at an incredibly fast speed, leaving others far behind, making them several times harder to react to than bullets.

This is a miracle, a miracle born from countless trials and tribulations.

Countless powerful enemies have died before they could even unleash their full potential, falling to Ke Qingzheng's sharp blades of air. They were either cut in half at the waist or split in two, only realizing they were dead when their bodies shattered.

But at this moment, Ke Qingzheng suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Even though the light-devouring bees had been cut to pieces and were a gruesome sight, the broken, fragmented, and muddled flesh still flapped its wings and lunged at him!

At the same time, their bodies were turning red, as if they were on fire, and dazzling and dangerous red light shot out from inside their torn chests!

Flames shot into the sky, and a massive explosion engulfed half of the port, creating a terrifying mushroom cloud in the atmosphere!
"boom--!!!"

The screams of the crowd were drowned out by the deafening explosion. Red covered everything in the harbor, and even the sea and the night lost their color.

After a while, the smoke that had enveloped the port slowly dissipated, and a voice came from within.

"The Three Bees Marquis's superpower is that he can even create suicide bombers using human corpses... It's a good thing the Three Bees Marquis didn't stay on the island, otherwise they might have been in big trouble."

Two hundred meters away from the port, Ke Qing was encased in an air barrier that completely isolated him from the outside world. He looked at the raging flames around him, adjusted his glasses, and muttered to himself.

Just a second before the explosion, he manipulated the air, amplifying the recoil from the explosion and propelling his body two hundred meters away.

Then they created an air barrier, which barely managed to block the power of the explosion.

If he had missed even one step, he would never have been able to escape unscathed.

As the dust and mist dissipated, Osaka Port was reduced to a ruin riddled with holes.

Ke Qing looked up and saw an endless expanse of charred blackness before him, with wisps of scorching white steam rising up, making him feel as if he were standing in volcanic lava.

"Many people died; they'll be punished when they get back," Ke Qingzheng said expressionlessly, glancing at the skeletons on the ruins.

He slowly turned around, his gaze piercing through his fogged glasses as he looked at the still-bustling city of Osaka. At that moment, the gothic doll "Esther" was engaged in a chase through the city with the Three Bees Lord "Cameron."

Those passersby caught up in this childish frolicking all met their deaths.

Esther was controlled by the threads above her head, moving through the city like a lifeless puppet with the most accurate and efficient behavioral logic.

She leaped over the high-altitude work platform and landed on top of a dark green JK express train. Then, with her knees bent and her light body shooting up in an instant, her skirt swayed as the glass of the high-rise buildings along the way shattered, the lights of the traffic lights flickered on and off, and the lights of the billboards dimmed.

"Why can this human see me? That's strange..." Cameron pondered, puzzled.

She flew at full speed, trying to distance herself from the gothic doll behind her, but no matter how hard she tried, the distance between them remained within 500 meters.

"This human girl is as fast as a monster," Cameron thought.

Fortunately, Cameron had already planned ahead.

She had already silently arrived at the location where she had set up her trap, a street sandwiched between two skyscrapers.

At this very moment, inside the offices of the two skyscrapers, there were "self-destructing light-devouring bees" that she had created from human corpses—exactly the same as the batch of mutated light-devouring bees that had just exploded at the port, and even more in number.

Cameron was certain that the explosion was enough to kill any Cataclysmic-level superhuman.

In the offices of the two high-rise buildings, the staff, exhausted from working overtime all night, were slumped in their chairs, motionless. Their chests had been torn open, and blue veins were throbbing on the surface of their hearts.
Cameron licked her lips, deliberately leading the relentlessly pursuing gray figure behind her into the street. Then, she mentally predicted when Esther would enter the street.

"three……"

"two……"

"one."

Cameron silently counted to three, then grinned and snapped his fingers loudly.

Knuckles rubbed together, producing a sharp "snap!" At that moment, the world fell silent; not a sound could be heard. Then, a girl in a gothic black dress landed right on the street.

Then, deafening roars came from the office buildings on both sides of the street.

Thanks to Cameron's flawless calculations, the two events occurred almost simultaneously.

In an instant, hundreds of light-devouring bees crashed through the glass curtain walls of the high-rise buildings. The piled-up flesh and blood were almost squeezed together, writhing ferociously and foully, like demons pouring out of hell.

They swallowed up all the neon lights and all the moonlight, as if a huge net made of human flesh was sweeping in, a flood of blood and flesh!
The world went dark the moment Esther stepped into the street.

She raised her doll-like, empty eyes, which reflected countless writhing flesh and blood. The heads and limbs of those giant light-devouring bees were piled together and fell down in a deluge.

In that instant, a thread suddenly fell from the only crack in the sky, and the thread connected to the little rabbit doll that Esther was holding tightly in her arms.

The next moment, the little rabbit doll was pulled by the lines above its head, jumped out of her arms, fell to the ground, and then quickly expanded into a giant gray-white rabbit that was three hundred meters tall.

Esther bent down slightly, knees bent, and stepped on the giant rabbit's head, her skirt spreading out like a blooming flower.

She raised her empty eyes and silently watched the swarm of bees spread out in all directions.

The giant rabbit doll shouted and yelled, and with an illogical speed, it suddenly raised its right arm high. The gust of wind that was stirred up at that moment blew away most of the mutated light-devouring bees that were flying towards it.

Thanks to this, a sliver of light finally appeared in the sky, and one could see the moonlight by looking up.

Immediately afterwards, the rabbit doll grabbed Esther from above with its fluffy pink left paw and threw her into the sky at the end of the street.

Esther's body was as light as an umbrella. In an instant, she was thrown more than a thousand meters by the doll and passed through the gap opened by the bee clan.

The giant rabbit doll remained where it was, its fluffy head drooping as it plopped down on the street.

At the same time, hundreds of mutated light-devouring bees descended. They surged like a tidal wave, crushing the 300-meter-tall rabbit doll beneath them, forming a mountain and a sea of ​​flesh.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies began to glow with a dazzling red. The moment their body temperature reached its peak, the swarm of bees suddenly burst open, transforming into a towering inferno that shot into the sky.

Within moments, no one survived within a radius of several hundred meters.

Everything was consumed in the devastating flames, and even the rabbit doll was not spared from being burned to ashes.

"what's the situation……"

Cameron froze in mid-air, turning back to look at the scene before her, stunned.

Esther was thrown in the same direction Cameron was running.

In her puppet form, Esther's every action is calculated with the utmost precision and efficiency, as if God were controlling this puppet, having foreseen all the changes in the world and taking everything into account.

In an instant, she stepped off a high-altitude work platform and her figure rushed towards Cameron like a whirlwind.

Cameron flapped her enormous wings violently, trying to escape, but at that moment she suddenly saw several bright, shimmering threads fall from the sky and descend behind her.

She paused for a moment, then turned around abruptly to see human-shaped dolls tied to the ends of the silk threads falling from the sky.

They woke up one after another.

They were a group of dancers dressed in colorful skirts, their mouths sewn shut with silk threads, their lips curving upwards in a sweet smile. Suddenly, pulled by the threads, the dancers' bodies tensed, and their heads stood upright.

The dancers, standing on the high-rise work platform, some gracefully swan danced, others gracefully tango, leaped up and rushed towards Cameron, their figures moving as fast as colorful lights dancing.

Then, they bound Cameron's body with invisible threads.

The tough threads bound Cameron to every corner of her body, leaving her nowhere to escape, like a mouse trapped in a mousetrap, her face filled with fear.

"Is the game over?" she murmured, raising her sea-blue eyes, the corners of her mouth still turned up.

Esther flew over, raising her right hand at the same time. Her index finger, with its black nail polish, suddenly made a motion in the air, and a sharp thread spread out from her fingertip.

The uncut line stretched straight and taut in mid-air, now as sharp as a knife.

In the next instant, Esther had already darted past Cameron, the line she was holding tracing across his neck.

All of this happened silently, as quiet as a silent film. Two or three seconds after Esther landed, the world came to life again.

When Cameron regained her senses, her head had already separated from her body and was flying high into the sky. Then she was swept up by the blast wave blowing from the front and instantly burned into a cloud of ashes.

"The Three Bees, Cameron... have been annihilated."

Esther fell from mid-air, her fluttering gray skirt draped to the ground. As she walked forward, she murmured to herself emotionlessly, like a doll.

The puppet dancers she summoned descended from the sky and dispersed to Osaka city to help survivors trapped in the fire escape.

Soon after, the threads connecting every part of Esther's body snapped with a "snap".

Immediately afterwards, her beautiful but empty eyes suddenly brightened, and her crimson eyes were no longer empty, as if a doll had gained its own soul.

The girl in the gothic dress stood there in a daze for a while, and the series of events that had happened after she entered "doll mode" slowly surfaced in her mind.

She nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and her face darkened.

“That’s my Alice’s favorite bunny doll,” she murmured.

The next second, the girl's eyes suddenly turned black, she clenched her little fists, a look of distress appeared on her face, and her eyes reddened. "Grandma doesn't love me anymore... You threw my doll to the bees, that was clearly my favorite doll."

“It wasn’t Grandma who did it, it was all the bees’ fault. I’ll buy you another one later,” Esther said, crossing her arms.

"But that doll has been with me for so long..." Alice murmured.

Passersby were screaming and running in all directions, and the dancing dolls were busy doing disaster relief. Only the girl in the gothic dress stood in the middle of the street, head down, talking to herself.

It's like a one-man show is being performed.

Her eyes would sometimes turn red, sometimes black. When they turned red, her expression was indifferent, her tone domineering, and she seemed somewhat helpless. When they turned black, she looked pitiful, her tone gentle, and her voice soft.

"Don't cry... Listen to Grandma, I'll ask that bespectacled man to buy you an exact copy."

As Esther spoke listlessly, she regained control of her body from the other personality, wiped away the tear that had just rolled down her cheek, and then stomped her foot angrily.

As she walked forward, she pulled a cell phone out of the pocket of her gothic skirt.

A short while later, she dialed Ke Qingzheng's number.

"Resolved?" Ke Qingzheng's indifferent voice came from the phone.

“Otherwise,” Esther said coldly, “my granddaughter is angry, so go to the mall and buy her a little bunny doll.”

Ke Qingzheng said, "Can't you buy it yourself? Before you fall asleep, I want to go to the deserted island to help out."

“What need do they have for you on that deserted island? Little thing, who are you looking down on? If those ten good-for-nothings can’t even beat three bees, then they don’t deserve to be called ‘Rainbow Wings’.”

Esther then changed the subject, "Your priority is to buy a doll for my lovely little Alice, and then come pick me up. I'm sleepy."

“That makes sense, they probably don’t need my help,” Ke Qingzheng said. “Then I’m coming over, you wait for me over there.”

Esther frowned and hung up the phone.

Then, she took a black cross out of her pocket.

She casually tossed the crucifix to the ground, where it twirled and fell, suddenly transforming into a black coffin that slammed into the ground with a thud, creating a dent.

Behind the girl, a raging fire still burned, turning the city, stretching for hundreds of meters, into a living hell. Some people screamed and wept in the fire, but she was driven by a sense of drowsiness, her eyelids drooping.

Esther raised her hand, yawned softly, squatted down and sat in the black coffin, then slowly lay down. She placed her hands on her chest and slowly closed her eyelids.

"Goodnight, Alice. A good night's sleep will make everything alright," she said.

“Goodnight, Grandma,” she said again.

The girl's lips moved slightly as she murmured to herself in different tones, and the coffin door closed automatically without any wind.

The black coffin slept peacefully amidst the raging flames, ushering in a pleasant and quiet night.
