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

"Mr. Chung!"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Gu Yuanzhou felt reassured.

Zhong Chang did not turn around, but quietly looked at the shadow that he had cleaved in two with a single stroke, his brows furrowed.

It appears to have stopped expanding and become inactive, but in reality, it is slowly recovering.

He used the [Knock on Gate] technique in that last strike!

Logically speaking, I should have already caused considerable damage to its spirit or essence, yet it had no effect.

Even he couldn't tell what it was at a glance.

The miniature black hole... Judging from its appearance alone, it's somewhat similar to the eighth-tier skill of the [King of Cysts], the [Chaos Black Hole].

However, the damage and triggering methods are too different.

When using the Chaos Black Hole, the King of Cysts needs to sacrifice one or more cysts to 'collapse' before it can be fully released.

Its power is enough to easily destroy a base city; compared to this thing in front of us, it's not even in the same league.

However, judging from its composition alone, it possesses both powerful shadow and spatial forces, making it at least one of the top twenty [Chaos] calamities.

But none of these three fit the criteria: [King of Cysts], [Shadow of Origin], or [Abyss Eye]...

Zhong Chang's heart sank, as if a bad possibility had been conjured up in his mind.

For over a hundred years, all was peaceful, but now such a huge change has occurred.

Could it be...?

Without thinking it over, he issued the order directly.

"Xiao Gu, move the stone tablet to protect Meng Yao!"

Let's put other things aside for now and deal with the immediate problem first.

"yes!"

Gu Yuanzhou bowed and then headed towards the underground research area.

Only then did Chung Chang fully unleash his power.

The surrounding gravity was suddenly canceled out, and everything was forcibly suppressed by an invisible force, entering a state of stillness.

Even the recovery speed of the miniature black hole in the center visibly stopped.

Seeing this, Zhong Chang understood.

Is it a remote control?

It wasn't that we didn't deal any damage just now; it's that the essence of this thing isn't here at all!

Once the connection is severed, they can easily seize control.

……

On the other side, Ye Chenyang was massaging Jiang Mian's feet as usual.

Thanks to the space equipment, traveling is much more convenient than before, and there's basically no need to pack.

If we leave tomorrow, that would be fine.

However, Jiang Mian said that he had other things to do, so he temporarily planned to set off in three days.

At this moment, she was lying on the sofa, her eyes seemingly unfocused.

The two of them "massaged" each other, which could be considered an equivalent exchange.

But how could she tell that this guy was really enjoying himself?

Jiang Mian silently withdrew her gaze.

Oh well, as long as both Ye Chenyang and I are happy, that's fine.

She began to plan her next steps in her mind.

Today the supplies were transferred to the immigration point, and should last for three months under normal use.

Next, I need to find Yin Mengyao.

The matter of the River of Oblivion is temporarily over. Xu Xiaoan has been inside for more than half a month, and it's unknown to what extent he has integrated with it.

"Tomorrow... Ugh! Tomorrow it is!"

Jiang Mian made his decision while feeling the tingling sensation in his feet.

But fate had other plans, and the phone next to me suddenly vibrated.

It was a message from Yin Mengyao.

When Jiang Mian saw the contents of the document, he immediately pulled his foot back and straightened up.

"Brother Ye, something's happened!"

……

When the two arrived at Research Institute No. 1, they found it in ruins.

The ambulances were full of brightly lit vehicles, transporting large numbers of injured people out.

"Jiang Mian!"

Yin Mengyao was standing on the main road outside the ruins, waving to them.

Beside him was an elderly man in military uniform, from whom Jiang Mian learned the whole story.

"A strange [chaotic] ​​calamity? I have no idea!"

She shook her head in confusion, summoned the golden crow from the shadows, and held it in her arms.

"Look, it's always been by my side, Brother Ye knows that."

After speaking, Jiang Mian raised her head and looked at Ye Chenyang.

Ye Chenyang nodded slightly, which was considered as confirmation.

Jiang Mian herself was always by my side, and besides, she couldn't command those [Chaos] calamities, so she couldn't possibly be involved in this matter.

In that case, a new variable has emerged.

According to the timeline, it actually started from when she heard the 'sound', and then Jiang Li broke through to the sixth level and heard two 'sounds'.

All of this looks as if some being from beyond this world is trying to stop something.

Since the fog descended, this world has become the broken place it is today.

Only their world can be called the main world.

Other countries, such as the Vatican City we visited before, were divided into several smaller regions.

Humanity has yet to find another realm that can be called the main world.

Ye Chenyang had thought more than once that the severing of the virtual world was probably not entirely a natural disaster.

The upper limit of human capabilities is related to the completeness of the world's rules.

Does this mean that if the world were complete, beings of the ninth rank or even higher could naturally arise?

For a century, Elder Zhong and his colleagues have remained stuck at the peak of the eighth rank.

The barrier only began to loosen after this generation of pinnacles was born.

However, even until his death in his previous life, none of them had broken through to the ninth rank, as if something was missing.

Ye Chenyang remained silent, not continuing to think about it.

Every time I think about this, something like a cognitive barrier always appears.

The closer you get to the truth, the more blurred your memory becomes.

"Brother Ye?"

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Jiang Mian called out softly.

"fine."

Ye Chenyang shook his head and looked at Yin Mengyao.

"Did you call us over for something else?"

He knows Yin Mengyao; these things can be explained online, so he definitely wouldn't call them over for this.

"Um."

She nodded slightly.

"Xu Xiaoan... might have run into some trouble."

"?"

Jiang Mian tilted her head.

No way? What a coincidence?

Yin Mengyao gestured with her chin toward the ruins and said:

"After that strange creature attacked, it seemed to have stirred up the power of [Formless] across my domain. And then..."

"A flood of chaotic memories erupted from her soul, completely overwhelming her."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Mian probably knew what was going on.

Those memories must belong to the souls she once devoured.

Originally, Xu Xiaoan should still be in the process of normal integration.

However, when the most fundamental aspect of the ability, the "Formless" aspect, went wrong, all the hidden dangers erupted at once.

Jiang Mian was well aware of the impact of memory on personality.

Although Xu Xiaoan's personality has been fixed, if she is overwhelmed by those things, she might become an idiot when she comes out.

Fortunately, she was probably not affected by that 'voice'.

"So, you mean I should go in and rescue them myself?"

Yin Mengyao nodded.

Although she is at the pinnacle of the [Soul] path, Xu Xiaoan is ultimately [Formless], and her composition is quite complex.

Since I don't have the authority of the "Formless" realm, entering rashly would likely provoke her instinctive resistance.

After much deliberation, Jiang Mian was the most suitable choice, while she would stay in the outside world to stabilize her mental state and prevent her from collapsing.

Gu Yuanzhou watched the discussion quietly without saying anything.

Who would have thought that the most threatening "apocalypse" could become an asset to humanity?

Today, Elder Zhong is still investigating the source of the disaster, and his task is to take good care of these children.

"Senior Gu."

After the discussion, Yin Mengyao turned around and looked up at Gu Yuanzhou.

"Let's do it the way we agreed before."

"OK."

So the group set off together and were soon taken to Old Master Zhong's courtyard.

Upon entering the living room, the group encountered Jiang Li, who had been waiting for them.

If Xu Xiaoan encounters a problem, she can be the one to deal with that [Withering] power.

"This setup...is someone delivering a baby?"

Jiang Mian's lips twitched, and she muttered to herself.

The location and the "doctor" are both in place.

Once Yin Mengyao activated her domain, she stepped into the silver door without hesitation.
