Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Delay?"

As the strongest natural disaster under the apocalypse, the new skills and characteristics upgraded through the "Overturning World Torrent" are definitely not that simple.

Jiang Mian closed his eyes, expanded his senses, and tried to unleash the newly acquired [Eye of the Abyss] to test its effects.

An invisible wave emanated from her and quickly swept across the surrounding sea.

The whole world slowed down instantly.

Waves, fog, hordes of calamities... everything in motion seemed to be in slow motion, clearly visible to Jiang Mian.

Although it is still moving, it is almost frozen.

Only a torrent possessing the same characteristics can move freely under the cover of the [Eye of the Abyss].

Does this delay refer to the time within her skill range?

"Time attribute?!"

Jiang Mian's eyes widened slightly; she was genuinely surprised this time.

Even if [Overturning the World] is Sequence 8, isn't the bonus it gives her a bit too outrageous?

In her perception, a full three seconds passed before the world returned to normal.

It might be possible to forcibly extend the skill's duration, but the cost would increase exponentially.

This is because the skill does not consume elemental energy, but rather her own mental energy.

Jiang Mian estimated that if it were extended by just one more second, she would probably fall asleep immediately.

If it were before she obtained the Sun Mark, she wouldn't even need to think about it; three seconds would be her limit.

But thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite good.

The higher your level, the more precious every second in battle becomes.

Moreover, the current three seconds is just the basics. Once her mental strength has grown to a sufficient level, it is not impossible to extend it by a few more seconds.

Moreover, this ability is truly unique.

I don't know about the other vertices, but at least none of the abilities in the sequence list have this kind of incredible effect.

"My Lord, I... still need one last step to complete my 'transformation'."

Hong Liu only spoke slowly after Jiang Mian finished testing the new skill.

Jiang Mian lowered his head to check its condition.

Like the Calamity Sea, after establishing dominance, its core began to be tainted by new characteristics.

Even though it was hidden deep next to his heart, Jiang Mian could vaguely "see" that the original ice-blue core color was gradually deepening and turning into dark blue.

Meanwhile, the fog in the surrounding sea seemed to be gathering abnormally, and visibility was decreasing again and again, as if it were the prelude to a foggy tide.

However, the faint rumble of thunder could be heard from within, and flashes of lightning occasionally tore through the darkness, making the entire sea area flicker.

Is this a tribulation to be overcome?

The art style seems to be getting weird...

"Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Mian didn't say much, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and returned to the air.

The massive torrent slowly swam away, heading deeper into the mist.

Its body had already changed as it moved forward.

First, there are its limbs. At the end of each claw, there is a fleshy bulge that looks like it is about to grow a fifth finger.

Then, its single horn abruptly broke off and fell into the sea.

"Um?"

Jiang Mian frowned, a gust of wind swept over him, and he grabbed him, bringing him to his side.

As expected, after breaking through the "shackles," the torrent evolved, and its appearance also underwent significant changes.

It seems that the original plan to let Hongliu continue to deter the outer seas is no longer feasible.

It's meaningless, and allowing the transformed torrent to continue flowing is tantamount to stating one's position and sending a signal:

I just want to hold you back and relieve the pressure on those calamity "teammates".

Chun Chun is just looking for trouble.

Fine, let's just go.

What does the great pressure of calamity on other paths have to do with her?

Even if she returns to shore by then, the officials won't know.

In their view, the "Doomsday" brought the torrent and the primordial chaos back to the deep sea, becoming a hidden danger that could not be resolved for the time being.

Therefore, the first thing to do is not to hunt them down, but to carefully cultivate one's own elite.

At the same time, investigate the identity of "Doomsday" and how she managed to sneak out of "Eternal Light" without anyone noticing.

She wasn't afraid of others doubting her relationship with Ye Chenyang.

After all, Jiang Mian had always been with Ye Chenyang.

Jiang Mian stopped thinking about it and decided to wait until she returned to shore before discussing it further.

Now that the torrent has begun to transform and its appearance has changed, it no longer intends to guard it. It would be better to call Xuanhuang back now.

but……

Jiang Mian looked at the unicorn she had rescued.

Based on the connection established by [Doomsday Domination], she had a vague premonition that after the transformation was completed, the torrent would be able to control both water and lightning elements simultaneously.

In addition to the hysteresis property, it is equivalent to also having a time attribute.

This thing was originally an organ for storing and controlling lightning elements in the torrent.

It seems it's no longer needed; perhaps she can still be recycled.

Jiang Mian casually put it into his spatial storage. Next, he would check on the situation on the coast.

Before that, you can look for a suitable place to stay nearby.

Although she can stand on the water, her true form is still here, and multitasking will inevitably have some impact.

If you were a "doomsday" survivor and accidentally choked on water, that would be incredibly embarrassing.

On the way here, Jiang Mian had seen quite a few islands, which should be a place to stay for the time being.

For normal humans, such places are absolute forbidden zones; not only is it easy to get lost, but they also harbor unknown dangers.

Even mental and wind-based perception abilities will be greatly weakened, so only high-level awakened individuals can attempt to break through.

Therefore, information about the wilderness is quite scarce, and it is mainly used for research purposes.

Jiang Mian used his senses and quickly found an island of considerable size.

The island was covered with strangely shaped trees, giving it an eerie atmosphere.

She did not go ashore, but stayed on a relatively flat reef, looking eastward, where she could vaguely see the shadowy dragon of lightning.

It's unknown how long the flood will last.

Oh well, since the allocation slots have already been given out, the 'transformation' is just a matter of time.

Jiang Mian closed her eyes and shifted her attention to Xuanhuang.

She had hitched a ride to the previous save point, and inspired by that, she simply set up a save point directly on Xuanhuang's back.

This makes information transmission much easier.

Through his senses, Jiang Mian saw that Xuanhuang had retreated back into the mist, so he used the "wind" to convey a message:

"The plan has changed; we're withdrawing."

……

The outer sea defense line.

The battle had ended some time ago, but a lingering heat still hung over the sea.

Yu tide broke through the water and quickly flew to the same height as Yang Xin in the air.

"Sister Yang, that black loach is gone!"

"..."

Yang Xin did not respond, but a bad feeling was already forming in her mind.

The fight was so fierce just now that they even thought the other side was trying to fight to the death, and the barrier at the border was even smashed open with a large crack.

Just as the two sides were about to get serious, [Overturning the World] retreated with [Overturning the Yellow and Black], as if it were just a routine test.

However, unusual phenomena within the community indicate that "Doomsday" has definitely already taken action.

Strangely, apart from some higher-level marine calamities that rushed out, no other targets triggered the 'Eternal Light' marker.

Only after she had Yu tide personally dive into the underwater nest to investigate could she confirm...

"Sister Yang, it's gone!"

Yu tide gazed at the scene in the distance and shook Yang Xin's arm.

Yang Xin looked up and saw the huge island, which was faintly visible in the mist, slowly moving deeper into the mist and eventually disappearing into the gray and white.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with seriousness.
