Do you think this world is serious?

Chen Xiuming nodded gently, then released Xi'er's small hand and stepped towards the broken wall disguised as an insect beast.

Delta was a little nervous, but not worried at all.

Xi'er gripped her skirt tightly, looking at Chen Xiuming with nervousness and trepidation.

With Chen Xiuming's current level of skill, he can already shape Honkai energy chains or cold weapons in an instant, so he did not immediately shape Honkai energy and strolled towards the insect beast.

Unexpectedly, when Chen Xiuming entered the insect beast's attack range, the insect beast did not attack him directly, but remained completely still, like a broken wall.

"Even your intelligence has improved quite a bit?"

Chen Xiuming muttered to himself, then took a step or two forward before stopping in place, no longer approaching the insect beast.

Seeing that Chen Xiuming was no longer approaching, the insect beast seemed to become somewhat restless, and even the disguised broken wall began to tremble slightly.

Chen Xiuming chuckled and conjured seven or eight Honkai energy chains with a wave of his hand, then propelled them toward the insectoid beast.

Seeing this, the insect beast no longer hid and immediately began to writhe and twist its grotesque limbs, overwhelming Chen Xiuming.

However, before the grotesque limbs of the insectoid beast could touch Chen Xiuming, the more flexible Honkai energy chains pierced through the insectoid beast's core first.

No matter how much insectoid beasts evolve, as long as their core remains exposed, they will have a very fatal weakness.

As the level of evolution increases, the size of the insectoid beast may not necessarily increase, but its core will definitely become larger.

The corpses and cores of the insectoid beasts will be devoured by Delta, while the fused Honkai Beast remains will be consumed by Janna's main body, with not a single thing being wasted.

"Delta, as insect beasts evolve, will their core retract into their bodies?"

"Well……"

Delta pondered for a few seconds, "Probably not? I once saw a very powerful insect beast whose territory encompassed an entire city. Its size was so large that it almost blotted out the sky, and its core was still exposed."

What happened to that insect-like beast afterward?

"I don't know, but he should be dead."

Delta gently shook her head.

Although she did not witness the insect beast's fate firsthand, its end was obvious: it would inevitably be devoured by the insect queen as "qualified provisions."

The Queen of Insects will not actively hunt weak insect beasts, but will actively harvest them when they become suitable food.

"Since the cores of the insectoid beasts are exposed, we can start clearing out the city center."

Chen Xiuming took Xi'er's hand again and walked towards the city center.

Delta followed closely behind, dragging the unfinished insect beast corpse, while Janna's true form lay on top of the Honkai Beast's remains, feasting heartily.

……

With Kiana and Janna present, no insectoid beast could hide and was killed one by one by Chen Xiuming. Their corpses then became nourishment for Delta and Janna to become stronger.

Not every insect beast is weak; the closer you get to the city center, the stronger the insect beast becomes.

Although it still had that grotesque appearance of gray-white limbs stitched together from the remains of Honkai Beasts, both the speed and power of its limb movements were far superior to those weaker insect beasts.

Even with Chen Xiuming's current strength, he wouldn't be able to fight his way to the very center.

Therefore, he decisively chose to activate the "backup hidden energy," which is to borrow the power of Kiana from the End.

After borrowing the power of Kiana of the End, Chen Xiuming no longer controlled the Honkai Energy Chains to attack the insect beast from a distance. Instead, he experienced the joy of being a "melee brute," swiftly breaking through the insect beast's dancing limbs. Then, he swung the Honkai Energy Short Spear to pierce the insect beast's core and kill it.

As he borrowed Kiana's power, Delta became increasingly convinced of her belief that Chen Xiuming was definitely a "god" specifically designed to save her.

Perhaps because the insectoid beasts were more densely concentrated in the city center, the city center was cleared much faster than the outer areas.

During this time, Seele seemed to have seen so many grotesque and terrifying insect beasts that she was no longer as afraid of them as before. At least when Chen Xiuming or Delta were around, she was no longer afraid of them.

In addition, her gentle personality has changed, and she has become much stronger than before.

The flickering firelight in the dimly lit room cast a thoughtful expression on Chen Xiuming's face.

Delta lay sprawled on Chen Xiuming's lap without restraint, her fair feet swaying gently in contentment.

Seele sat beside the golden spear that was ablaze with golden flames, quietly reading "An Introduction to Magic" that Chen Xiuming had downloaded on his phone.

The Stigmata Terminal can convert Honkai energy into electrical energy, so Chen Xiuming's phone will not run out of power and shut down.

Seele had received basic education in an orphanage, so reading "An Introduction to Magic" was not difficult for her; however, due to the lack of a teacher, her learning progress was very slow.

The Holy Mark Terminal had long since healed itself completely, and the Alaya Consciousness no longer needed to guard the Holy Mark Terminal. It could leave the World Bubble with Chen Xiuming.

However, she seems to have found her purpose in the world bubble, using magic every day to cultivate and grow various plants, including strange edible fruits and sturdy trees that can be used as building materials.

With Kiana's almost unlimited supply of Honkai energy, Alaya consciousness seemed to transform into a "magic turret," releasing various spells rapidly as if they were free. Even newly sprouted saplings could be transformed into towering trees in just a few hours.

Chapter 92 Mouth-to-mouth is the most efficient.

Unlike Kiana of the End, Alaya consciousness does not possess the powers of a Herrscher of the End; it only possesses the physical strength of a Herrscher of the End.

Before mastering magic, her fighting methods, apart from brutally unleashing the Honkai energy of Kiana's End, consisted only of pure close combat.

Now that she has mastered many kinds of magic, she can transform into a qualified "turret".

When the enemy, braving a barrage of magical attacks, rushes towards the Alaya Consciousness, they will inevitably fall into deep despair, facing a physical strength comparable to that of the Herrscher of the End.

It's perfectly reasonable for a qualified magic turret to possess invincibility in melee combat.

Neither Delta nor Seele ever entered the world bubble, nor did they ever see the Alaya consciousness.

It wasn't that Alaya consciousness was unwilling to get to know the two girls, but rather that Chen Xiuming felt the time wasn't right.

If the Alaya consciousness does not want to leave the world bubble, Chen Xiuming will wait until they are about to leave the world bubble before letting the two girls learn about the world bubble and get to know the Alaya consciousness.

"Chen Xiuming, after we clear out all the insect beasts from this city, shall we go to the coastal city?"

Why do you suddenly want to go to a seaside city?

Chen Xiuming grabbed Delta's wobbly jade foot, causing Delta to shake her body in dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing the words "seaside," Seele couldn't help but look at Chen Xiuming and Delta.

"Brother Chen Xiuming, Sister Delta, are we going to the beach next?"

"That's right! It's more fun to go to the beach in a group. I used to go alone, which is why I found the beach boring."

While responding to Seele, Delta also answered Chen Xiuming's question.

Chen Xiuming chuckled: "There's no need to go that far. The broken world inside my body is the seaside."

Since Delta and Seele had not yet learned about the World Bubble, Chen Xiuming would always refer to it as the "broken world" when mentioning the World Bubble within his body.

"Eh? Really?"

"Of course it's true, but you can only safely enter the broken world inside my body after you have turned against the Queen."

Chen Xiuming squeezed Delta's jade feet. The soft and delicate touch felt like something else entirely, not like the skin on the soles of her feet. Instead, it was more like a delicate work of art worth handling. It truly deserved the name "jade feet".

Delta and the Queen can sense each other's location. If Delta enters the world bubble inside the Queen's body, there are only two possibilities in the Queen's perception: either she senses that Delta is suspected to be dead, or she discovers that Delta has gone to another world bubble.

At that time, the Queen of Insects will surely go berserk and rush to the place where Delta disappeared to check on Delta's situation again and again.

Once the city is cleared out and Delta has the ability to counter the Queen, Chen Xiuming will use this method to lure the Queen into "walking into the trap".

Delta wasn't the only one filled with anticipation; Seele was too.

Upon learning of the opportunity to go to the beach, Xi'er's eyes practically sparkled as she looked at Chen Xiuming.

At the same time, she remembered the promise she had made with her "sister" and her expression became lonely and somewhat disappointed.

Given the current situation, she doesn't know when she can return to that world, let alone whether she will have the chance to return to the world she originally lived in.

"Delta, it's time for you to get up now."

Are we going out?

"No, it's time to rest now."

"Hey—but I'm not sleepy, I don't want to rest."

"Then you shall keep watch."

Chen Xiuming had no intention of indulging Delta. With a thought, the Honkai Energy Chains wrapped around Delta's body, suspending her in mid-air.

Perhaps because they hadn't been in contact with humans for too long, or perhaps because they had embarked on an "evolution," as they spent more time together, Delta and Chen Xiuming's interactions became increasingly casual.

It was common for her to lie on Chen Xiuming's lap wearing only her underwear, and she would even often crawl into Chen Xiuming's bed, claiming that this would quickly enhance their relationship.

As for whether she was lusting after Chen Xiuming's body, only she knows the answer.

The Honkai energy chains rattled, accompanied by the sound of chains snapping.

Delta swung back and forth in mid-air, using inertia to keep biting the Honkai energy chains, having fun while enjoying Chen Xiuming's Honkai energy.

No matter how hard an object made of pure Honkai energy is, it will be as fragile and soft as paper in front of her.

After consuming the Honkai energy chains shaped by Chen Xiuming, Delta revealed a satisfied expression. Then, she stopped bothering Chen Xiuming and sat not far from the golden spear, staring blankly at the irregularly leaping golden flames.

The golden spear contained power more terrifying than the pure power of the saintess, making Delta fearful and hesitant to approach it.

Perhaps only when she evolves into the most perfect creature will she be able to ignore the terrifying power contained in the golden spear.

Seeing Chen Xiuming go to bed to rest, Xier took the initiative to put her phone next to Chen Xiuming's pillow and obediently returned to her own bed to rest, leaving Delta alone in a daze.

……

Every day is pretty much the same; she's either hunting insects or on her way to hunt them. But it's not boring or tedious. At least Delta enjoys her life.

Compared to her past solitary wanderings, Delta now cherishes the simple and peaceful life she has with the beloved Chen Xiuming and the adorable and well-behaved "little sister" Xier.

As Delta continued to devour the insect beasts and their cores, she gradually met the hard requirements for completing the second stage of evolution, lacking only the most crucial "soft requirement"—a large amount of Honkai energy.

The Honkai energy required for the second stage of evolution is enormous. If it is accumulated slowly by consuming the remains of Honkai Beasts, it would take at least five or six years.

Furthermore, all the remains of the Honkai Beasts were consumed by Janna's main body, and she relied entirely on Chen Xiuming's regular feeding to replenish her Honkai energy.

"Chen Xiuming, completing the second stage of evolution requires a large amount of Honkai energy."

Delta is no longer alone, nor does she have to rely on herself for everything. She now has someone to depend on, so she will not hide the conditions required for her second stage of evolution.

The way to repay Chen Xiuming in the future was also very simple: Delta decided to "give" herself to Chen Xiuming.
