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

With a formidable enemy ahead and pursuers behind, and his attack button banned, Jiang Mian dared not make any rash moves.

She didn't know how strong the guy in front of her was, or whether he could launch a normal attack, so she could only focus her senses and keep a close eye on the two of them.

"Ho—"

After a brief standoff, the Shura group at the rear suddenly let out a deep growl and withdrew their spears.

Jiang Mian sensed something was wrong and quickly activated the power of [Formless], disappearing into the void.

However, the moment she made the spatial jump, the foreign man reached out and grabbed her—

The next second, Jiang Mian was firmly imprisoned by a spatial force and pulled back.

Just as he was about to be captured by the man, Jiang Mian decisively transformed into the form of a golden crow, with an annihilation wind emanating from his body.

Her body spun rapidly like a drill, quickly creating a passage before disappearing into the distance as a streak of black light.

The man looked at the cut on his palm and was clearly stunned. He seemed not to have expected that a seventh-level cultivator like her could break through the blockade and even injure him.

"Hehe, what an interesting little guy..."

He muttered something under his breath, and suddenly a boundless power of shadow energy erupted from his body.

Then, the man slowly took a step forward and appeared in Jiang Mian's path in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the entire flesh-and-blood passage began to writhe restlessly.

The passage was blocked, the space was locked, and no matter which way you looked, it was a dead end.

Jiang Mian reverted to human form, his expression becoming extremely solemn.

Space is sealed off... The person before me is probably the otherworldly being [Eternal Day], who was forcibly merged with [Formless] a hundred years ago.

Judging from this situation, not only has the opponent's body been taken over, but even their essence has been completely replaced, turning them into the shadow servant of [Formless].

But the connection was clearly closer than with the other servants, and more like her relationship with Jinwu.

In other words, the person standing in front of her was probably a ninth-rank official with complete authority!

Faced with absolute power, even if Jiang Mian racked his brains, he could not come up with a way to escape.

【Eye of the Abyss】has just been used, and the cooldown period hasn't ended yet. Her mental strength is also insufficient to support forcibly casting it.

While he was pondering, the human-horse [Shura] arrived late, and its six giant arms suddenly exerted force, slapping towards Jiang Mian without hesitation!

The fierce palm wind tore through the shadows, almost completely enveloping her tiny body.

"This is outrageous!"

Jiang Mian snorted coldly. She might not be able to beat a ninth-level opponent, but she could beat this guy?

She summoned a strange fire, and her black dress instantly burst into a dazzling display of seven-colored flames.

"Bang!"

Before the six giant hands could even merge, they were blasted to pieces by the impact of the [Fire Burst].

The flames spread rapidly, engulfing the entire human-horse [Shura] in an instant, replicating the way the Shura in the main world died.

"Huff, huff..."

Jiang Mian clutched her chest, breathing slightly heavily.

When she is in manual control mode, she can immerse herself in the state of the Golden Crow.

The Golden Crow's ability to bear the authority of [Natural Disaster] was already limited. After a self-destruction, it was reduced from half an hour to eight minutes, a significant cost.

But strangely, the otherworldly [Eternal Day], who had transformed into a shadow servant, merely watched, seemingly—

Suddenly, Jiang Mian's senses snapped shut, but it was clearly too late.

An invisible curse force, following her withdrawn senses, quickly climbed up the temporary core of the Golden Crow.

A thick aura of death had somehow filled the enclosed passageway.

It is 【withering】!

Caught completely off guard, she was tainted by [Destined Death]!

"Damn it, am I going to get ganged up on by the top players in this other world?"

This instant death curse was too domineering, directly halving the already limited time the Golden Crow could bear, and causing its condition to plummet.

It even climbed the thread of fate, trying to infect her body from above!

Fortunately, Jiang Mian had already merged with [Annihilation], which allowed him to conceal his "existence" and thus avoid being affected by the curse.

However, Jinwu's condition has truly fallen into a trough.

Left with no other choice, she could only mobilize all the annihilation power within the Golden Crow to suppress the curse.

However, this would significantly reduce the Golden Crow's fighting power once again.

Jiang Mian glanced wistfully at the foreign man beside her.

Suddenly, a withered figure appeared there, draped in a black cloak and wielding a menacing scythe.

These otherworldly pinnacles almost all became shadow servants of the [Formless].

Although they were not high level when they died, they still retained a certain growth potential after being separated by [Formless], and almost all of them could reach the eighth level.

Even though they are all fakes, much weaker than the complete pinnacle, no one can withstand the onslaught of attacks.

This is the most terrifying aspect of a fully developed [Formless]!

Jiang Mian tried to muster his strength, but he couldn't muster any.

Seeing this, the otherworldly withering creature leisurely stepped forward, raising its scythe high.

This action seemed to easily affect the source of Jinwu's power, further weakening her strength.

"Is it going to fail...?"

Jiang Mian felt a sudden sense of loss for no apparent reason.

Since awakening, she has made thorough preparations before each operation and has never suffered a defeat in direct combat.

Although it wasn't her personally present here, and she was facing opponents of a higher level than herself, a loss is a loss, and there's nothing more to say.

It's a pity about the calamity stone tablet in her hand.

However, just as the withering scythe was about to fall, the otherworldly [Eternal Day] suddenly raised its hand.

Several deep black spatial slashes burst forth from his fingertips, transforming into a spatial storm that instantly swept up the otherworldly decay.

Before Jiang Mian could even react, the black-robed figure was shredded into countless pieces.

"What's going on?"

She felt a chill run down her spine and looked into the eyes of the otherworldly eternal daylight, as if sensing something.

The originally murky gold now bursts forth with an exceptionally pure and dazzling radiance!

He withdrew his hand, a stiff smile tugging at the corners of his mouth:

"You did a great job, child."

Although he was speaking in a foreign language, with the aid of his mental power, Jiang Mian was able to easily understand what he was saying.

She pursed her lips, took out [Heavenly Punishment], and remained on guard.

Since the fusion, the otherworldly [Formless] has been in a state of slumber without interruption.

This phenomenon continues to this day, which may prove that the soul of "Eternal Day" has not completely fallen.

However, the otherworldly [Formless] is too powerful, and the fusion process has taken a hundred years. How long he can hold on and what his condition will be are still unknown.

It's possible that you'll just wake up, and the next second you'll be back to normal.

The man didn't seem to care about Jiang Mian's attitude. Instead, he nodded in satisfaction and suddenly reached for his heart with his right hand.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Mian's expression changed slightly, and his gaze was involuntarily drawn to what he had taken out.

Awakening Stone Tablet!

The Awakening Stone Tablet that I couldn't find was actually in his hands!

"You ventured onto this warship alone, just for this, weren't you?"

The man extended the stone tablet, which was instantly covered by a layer of soft golden light and slowly floated towards Jiang Mian's direction.

"Yes."

Jiang Mian reached out and grabbed the stone tablet without hesitation, then casually stuffed it into the shadows.

If the other party wanted to kill me, they would have done it already; there's no need for this trouble.

Moreover, judging from the trembling of the [Natural Disaster] authority, this stone tablet is probably genuine.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

The man waved his hand:

"A hundred years ago, Yang used [Time] to forcibly solidify my will, and with the assistance of the stone tablet, I have been able to persevere to this day."

"I promised him I would help him when his descendants appeared. Now I can say I have fulfilled that promise."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian remained silent for a moment before asking:

"Senior, what would you do if the stone tablet were gone?"

"It's alright. I died a hundred years ago. What you see before you now is merely a wisp of will clinging to life through the power of [Radiance] and [Time]."

The man shook his head, then flicked his finger again, opening a passage outwards for Jiang Mian.

"Once the stone tablet is separated from the body, the body will be completely swallowed by darkness and become a puppet."

"Go, leave this place before my will completely dies!"

As he spoke, his extremities began to be covered by flowing shadows.

"good!"

Jiang Mian was always one to listen to advice, so he turned and ran.

The void outside the warship seemed to be filled with "swarms of bees".

However, the instant she left the warship, a crimson moonlight suddenly appeared, opening a passage for her.

As the man watched Jiang Mian's departing figure, a bitter smile crept onto his stiff one.

In a daze, it seemed as if Jiang Mian's voice could be heard on the wind.

"Senior, what's your name?"

He paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then found a name in his hazy memory.

"My name is... Zilius?"

"Okay, I'll remember that."

As the sound faded, the breach in the flesh-and-blood warship returned to its original state, and Jiang Mian's aura completely disappeared.

"hehe."

Zillius chuckled softly and muttered to himself:

"Unexpectedly, the 'apocalypse' is the key to saving the world. Yang, we—"

Before he could finish speaking, his body was completely swallowed by darkness, turning into a dark cocoon.

Soon, a figure remarkably similar yet possessing a completely different aura emerged from its cocoon, gazing in the direction Jiang Mian had departed, and murmured softly:

"【end】……"
