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

"roar!"

Sensing the foul aura, Jiang An's body surged with azure light, instantly condensing into a blue dragon that tightly protected Xu Xiaoan.

In an instant, lightning crackled and dragon roars shook the heavens.

The hand that reached out to Xu Xiaoan was primarily for grabbing, and offered little protection.

Under Jiang An's strict guard, they could only retreat regretfully.

"What a pity..."

A soft sigh echoed from the void.

Then, Yun Ling's figure emerged from the darkness, his fingertips still bearing the charred marks from the lightning.

"As expected of the 'Awakening of Insects,' it truly defies reason."

He shook his hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

Even though she had merged with the Plague, she was still unable to be immune to Jiang An's attacks.

The life-giving thunder of [Awakening of Insects] can still easily damage his life essence.

When it comes to the origin of life, this is just an abstract concept, and there is no physical object like the core of a calamity.

But it exists objectively, and is even more mysterious than the soul.

To this day, humanity still hasn't fully understood it.

If the original Origin were alive today, research in this area might have made significant progress.

Fortunately, after acquiring the authority over the Plague, he also gained some knowledge of life attributes.

Why not just make up for the losses caused by Jiang An?

Thinking of this, Yun Ling raised his hand and made a gesture in mid-air.

The remaining "grapes" around him withered and shriveled, releasing streaks of eerie green light that disappeared into his palm.

In just a few breaths, the charred marks on his fingertips were completely removed.

Seeing this, Jiang An's heart sank.

The eighth-tier being that has already fused with the rudimentary form of authority is indeed extraordinary; it can basically be considered as a near-ninth-tier being!

There were even two!

Even the Blood Sea back then didn't put him under this much pressure.

After all, it had not yet merged with the rudimentary form of authority, and its nature was more inclined towards support attributes. In addition, its abilities were countered by him, which is why he fought so easily.

And now, the surroundings are filled with the power of [chaos], and they are all cyst kings.

They can not only be used as reinforcement materials for Yunshan to cast [Collapse], but also replenish Yunling's vitality. They are simply the best materials!

The reason the two didn't go all out was simply because they were afraid of hurting Xu Xiaoan!

Jiang An noticed that they looked at Xu Xiaoan as if she were a precious treasure, as if they were afraid of bumping or damaging her.

Considering Xu Xiaoan's identity as [Formless], he strongly suspected that this group of fallen beings wanted to send her back to [Chaos]!

Yunshan had long ago used the authority of [Collapse] to create a gravity slope in advance, intending to pull the battlefield into the depths of the void.

Every time Jiang An resisted, she was pulled down!

After all, Yang Xin and two [Catastrophe] behemoths were still stationed on the western defense line, and they dared not gamble on when reinforcements would arrive.

But at this moment, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

If this continues, Jiang An and the other person will probably be dragged into the depths of the Void Realm and then worn down to death!

Just then, the surrounding gravity suddenly intensified.

With Yunshan in front and Yunling behind, one controlling and the other attacking, they both came to attack Jiang An from both sides!

He gritted his teeth and protected Xu Xiaoan, holding the withered wooden spear horizontally in front of him, forcibly unleashing his domain.

The immense life force transformed into a tangible repulsive force, forming a force field shield that kept the two of them at bay.

Yunshan and Yunling exchanged a glance, then tacitly increased their output.

With the combined efforts of the two eighth-level experts wearing him down, Jiang An's power was being depleted at an unprecedented rate, and he would probably show a weakness in less than three minutes!

While he was racking his brains for a way to break the deadlock, Xu Xiaoan was already silently reciting Jiang Mian's name in his heart.

"Sister Mian? Sister Mian! Sister Mian..."

"What's wrong?"

Meanwhile, Jiang Mian had just looted a secret realm when he received a "call" from Xu Xiaoan.

It shouldn't be possible to achieve telepathy from this distance.

But before leaving, Jiang Mian gave her a save point, which not only allowed her to call directly but also enhanced the "signal".

Even amidst a dark sea of ​​blood, they can still transmit general information.

Xu Xiaoan recounted the events in a very fast voice.

When the message reached Jiang Mian, although it was intermittent, at least the basic content could be understood.

After listening, her expression turned serious, which drew a slight glance from Ye Chenyang, who was standing to the side.

"I'll call for Hongliu and the others to come to my aid immediately!"

"...No, Sister Mian, I have an idea."

For some reason, Xu Xiaoan seemed unusually calm today.

Jiang Mian originally thought that after she left, Jiang Mian would naturally become independent because she no longer had anyone to rely on.

When Jiang Mian was reshaping his personality, he did indeed emphasize this point.

But now it seems the results have exceeded expectations?

"you say."

"No one can resist His power. And these fallen ones come to seize me, it seems, because of this unseen connection between me and Him."

"In that case, could I become an undercover agent and obtain some classified information from them? Perhaps even gain access to a more powerful [Chaos] force?"

"After all, there's a control link. If something happens to me, you can always..."

Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning was already quite clear.

Jiang Mian fell silent, a strange feeling stirring within her.

It's like a child growing up and having their own ideas.

This suggestion actually coincided with Jiang Mian's initial thoughts when he learned that Xu Xiaoan possessed max-level [Chaos] resistance.

However, based on various considerations, they ultimately decided not to put it into practice.

But now, Xu Xiaoan herself has brought it up.

"Xiao An, that's too risky!"

If she were to stay near several eighth-tier Fallen Ones, what if they wanted to perform a sacrifice or something similar, given her current strength?

Making this decision before knowing the other party's true intentions is like gambling with your life!

"Sister Mian, I've told you, I'm not a child anymore."

Xu Xiaoan's voice rang in my mind, unusually calm, unlike the usual girl who always wanted to be patted on the head.

"I felt I should do something. We can't keep hiding in the rear and letting Sister Mian and the others work hard on the front."

She knew she was a calamity.

The trust of those around him and his current stable life all come from Jiang Mian.

However, precisely because of her identity as a calamity, Xu Xiaoan has been suppressing her true nature, all in order to gain Jiang Mian's attention.

The current situation presents both a crisis and an opportunity.

"you……"

Jiang Mian frowned, weighing the pros and cons.

Our side knows far too little about the enemy; all the information combined amounts to only:

He is a terrifying being above the ninth rank, wielding countless powers and being the source of all chaos.

In retrospect, these fallen ones seem particularly keen on reaching the pinnacle of corruption.

Xu Xiaoan's resistance to Him is unmatched, making him virtually impossible to corrupt.

Besides, if she really can't hold on, Jiang Mian can use his control to resolve any future problems.

Rationally speaking, the loss is only to Xu Xiaoan, which is actually acceptable.

But Jiang Mian resisted it deep down.

She did initially treat Xu Xiaoan as a tool, that's for sure.

But after realizing that her dependence on him was genuine, he felt inexplicably reluctant to let her go.

After all... Xu Xiaoan actually sees herself as a "mother" deep down, doesn't she?

Actually, I think it's pretty good...

"Sister Mian? Sister Mian?"

Jiang Mian remained silent for a long time, so long that Xu Xiaoan thought she had gone offline.

Seeing that Jiang An's domain was trembling violently and he was about to give up, she couldn't help but call out again.

"Xiao An, even if you're just a silly little brat who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, I'll still take care of you."

"If you really want to go, I won't stop you."

Jiang Mian's voice was unusually calm.

"I'll have someone follow you from a distance. Your safety is the top priority, understand?"
