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

Not long after setting off, Jiang Mian received gossip from Xuanhuang.

"A dragon should act like a dragon, shouldn't it?"

She raised an eyebrow in surprise; these words seemed strangely familiar.

Furthermore, has the torrent actually changed?

Although Xuanhuang only had a tall figure in their shared memories, the figure was quite good, so the front view must have been just as good.

"Never mind, let them be."

Jiang Mian shook her head, not delving into the matter, treating it merely as entertainment.

She looked toward the Northern Army headquarters not far away.

The troops stationed there have all withdrawn, and even the light-generating devices have been completely removed, leaving only fortresses swallowed by the mist.

Jiang Mian lowered the altitude and went inside for a quick look around.

The fog's corrosive power was stronger than she had imagined.

About half a month after the complete human evacuation, the base's infrastructure had already been eroded beyond recognition.

The overgrown square, the old metal walls... plus the fog filter, make it look like it's been abandoned for decades.

However, the interior was far from peaceful; instead, it was teeming with calamities and mist creatures.

They gathered together, dividing up their territory, clearly intending to make this place their home.

Among them are even seventh-order calamities.

"Heh—Pfft!"

Jiang Mian casually wiped out a seventh-tier [Corruption Plague] without even blinking.

Even the nauseating stench vanished completely under the purification of the Annihilation Wind.

This thing is bloated and green, with a huge mouth oozing pus on its belly; it's incredibly disgusting.

After it was killed, the other seventh-tier calamities in the shadows immediately fell silent and dared not move.

At first, Jiang Mian did not emit any aura.

Only after she made her move did they sense her bottomless, abyss-like power, far surpassing that of ordinary eighth-tier beings.

Their instincts screamed a warning: the being before them was no different from a ninth-tier being!

"Ha, now you're scared?"

Jiang Mian tilted her head slightly and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Given her current appetite, even wiping out the entire base complex wouldn't be enough to fill her teeth, but unfortunately, some clueless guys just had to come looking for a beating.

Well, might as well try out my new skill.

Jiang Mian beckoned with his finger, drawing a wisp of breeze from the air, which lingered around his fingertip.

The powers of Annihilation and Catastrophe merged and silently disappeared into the wind.

With a gentle flick, she sent the wisp of wind back into the flowing breeze, so that it could travel in the same direction as the others.

At first, it was just a gentle breeze.

But as the distance increased, it began to absorb and "infect" the surrounding wind, and its speed and power began to grow wildly like a snowball.

In no time, the entire headquarters base was enveloped by howling winds.

"Waaah—"

The wind squeezed through the gaps in the buildings, making a mournful howl.

Jiang Mian stood quietly high in the sky, overlooking the entire legion headquarters.

Those calamities were intimidated by the destructive aura in the wind and dared not act rashly.

But as the wind gradually increased in strength, and it seemed that an unprecedented wind disaster was about to occur, they finally couldn't sit still and began to stir.

Realizing something was wrong, those seventh-tier calamities rushed straight out of the base.

But as soon as they entered the wind, they vanished without a trace, as if they had never existed.

"This is the power of a half-law? It's truly formidable."

Jiang Mian stretched out his hand, closed his eyes, and felt the flow of the wind.

For a natural disaster of this level, when placed at the sixth tier, one would need to spend some time accumulating power before unleashing their full potential.

But now it's just a matter of snapping your fingers, and the cost is almost zero.

This was only because she deliberately restrained herself!

After all, if this skill is unleashed at full power, it's a planetary-level catastrophe!

After testing his new skills, Jiang Mian didn't linger. He increased his altitude and flew south.

As for the windstorms in this region, they will subside once they have completely destroyed the buildings and life on the surface.

……

Behind the Legion headquarters lies a cluster of six base cities, starting with Base City 151.

The entire urban cluster has a combined population of just over two million, which is less than that of a single core base city.

After all, only one of them reached a medium size, while the remaining five were small base cities with a population of less than 300,000.

In the fog of time, it was already quite remarkable that a city cluster could gather so many people.

When Jiang Mian passed by, he found that the situation in these base cities was similar to that of the Corps headquarters; they had all become a paradise for calamities and mist creatures.

She didn't linger; she just glanced at it and hurried away.

Soon, Jiang Mian arrived at the edge of "Eternal Light".

"what?"

She stopped outside the circle and gently tapped the pale golden light screen in front of her with her fingertip.

The translucent light curtain rippled like water, and the power contained within seemed to be particularly close to her.

At the same time, a faint voice rang in Jiang Mian's ears:

"Mianmian, you're back?"

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately covered it with both hands:

"Brother Ye?"

"Yes, it's me."

Perhaps because her action strengthened the signal, the sound Jiang Mian heard became much clearer.

"Brother Ye, where are you now? I... I'm..."

"Miss me?"

Ye Chenyang chuckled and teased:

"Mianmian, didn't you say before—"

"Hmph! Okay, okay, I admit I missed you, alright?"

Jiang Mian interrupted him, and simply said in a do-or-die manner:

Where are you right now? I'm coming to find you right now!

"Don't worry, I'm still in seclusion in the tower and won't be out for a while. However..."

Jiang Mian had already puffed out her cheeks, but upon hearing there was a twist, she quickly pressed for more information:

"But what?"

"My power has permeated the entire core area. Once you reach a place where the power concentration is high enough, you will be able to see my consciousness projection."

"Oh well."

Jiang Mian still looked uninterested.

A projection of consciousness is something you can see but can't touch; it's better to just make a phone call like this.

She missed her warm, human-shaped body pillow...

"That's all for now. I'm going back to see Wangchuan."

After saying that, Jiang Mian lunged forward and passed through the semi-transparent light curtain in front of him.

Compared to the previous two times, this time crossing the border of "Changming" didn't seem to have any obvious feeling.

Just as Ye Chenyang said, the power had been basically replaced by him, and there was a familiar feeling to Jiang Mian.

How did that guy manage to do such a large-scale replacement?

Could it be that it's already at the eighth rank?

Filled with doubt, Jiang Mian sped towards Base City No. 1.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, she deliberately put away her dragon horns and tail, returning to her original state.

However, not long after they started traveling, Jiang Mian's senses detected a large makeshift campsite and two people chasing each other intensely in the sky.

The pursuer behind him carried a longbow, his blood and qi surging, and he moved extremely fast. He was clearly a seventh-tier awakened being of the [War] path.

The person in front was riding a "skateboard".

Although not as fast as the one behind, the floating blades that split off from the "skateboard" launched surprise attacks from time to time, severely reducing the speed of the person behind.

"Hmm? An imitator?"

Jiang Mian sniffed and caught a familiar, strange smell.

Even at this point, why are there still calamities causing trouble?

No, this imitator's aura is unstable; it must have only recently broken through to the seventh rank.

After Wangchuan was taken in, she lost contact with the outside world, so it's unlikely that she has anything to do with it.

So it's "wild"?

It is said that in order to maintain social stability, the authorities did not announce the end of the world.

Their official explanation to the outside world is that the unusual activity within the fog has intensified.

All base cities outside the core area may suffer from large-scale, long-term impacts from the fog tide in the future.

Based on this, the authorities promised to provide basic guarantees and various subsidies, and most people chose to cooperate honestly, including those with the disease.

As for the Calamities, apart from the direct subordinates of the Pinnacle Calamity, the other wild Calamities were unaware of what had happened.

They were completely baffled by the fact that humans were frantically shrinking their living space.

This imitator should be in this situation.

Just as Jiang Mian was pondering, the imitator disguised as a human was already approaching.

Seeing a seemingly ordinary human girl standing foolishly in front of it, it roared:

"Get out of here!"

Before the words were even finished, it suddenly turned a corner, splitting into dozens of floating units that surrounded Jiang Mian!

Jiang Mian stared blankly at the scene, seemingly stunned.

"not good!"

The seventh-tier awakened one following behind it changed his expression drastically. He gritted his teeth, gave up the pursuit, and rushed towards Jiang Mian!

No one noticed that a hint of mocking amusement flashed in her seemingly clear eyes.
