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

Upon receiving Jiang Mian's telepathic message, all the inspectors felt a chill run down their spines.

"Is it her?"

Most of them came from Base City One, and many even participated in the battle in the underground city.

Although Jiang Mian herself was not present, they saw her in person during the subsequent meeting and remembered her voice and presence.

Jiang Mian has become noticeably stronger, and his voice has also changed slightly.

However, as seventh-level beings, they could tell from their intuition that it was her!

The message from above says that a powerful figure capable of restraining the Jade-Faced Rakshasa will arrive tonight and lead the operation.

Apart from You Hui, none of the inspectors knew her identity.

I thought it would be either Zhong or Yang Xin, but I didn't expect it to be Jiang Mian, whom I haven't seen in a long time.

Wasn't she only at level six a while ago?

What level is she at now that she can challenge a pseudo-ninth-rank?

Xiao Song felt the faint sense of oppression accompanying the "wind" and said in disbelief:

"Minister, is Jiang Mian now at rank eight?"

Even with his refined manners, his voice sounded somewhat weak when he asked the question.

"Um."

After receiving You Hui's affirmative reply, Xiao Song felt a mix of emotions.

When I first met Jiang Mian, she had just graduated from high school and was still doing her internship in city defense.

How long has it been? She has already been surpassed and become a top-tier combatant comparable to a ninth-rank expert.

"Life is unpredictable..."

Xiao Song couldn't help but sigh.

His talent is undeniable; the possibility of him going further, if not zero, is practically zero.

Unless there is external intervention, the highest he can achieve in his lifetime is the peak of the seventh rank.

For Jiang Mian, perhaps even the eighth rank is just a new beginning?

"Ugh."

He shook his head, then composed himself and awaited Jiang Mian's next move.

……

Jiang Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing a large amount of slightly bitter aura.

The "flavor" of an awakened person from the perspective of calamity does indeed change with their emotions, but only if the quality is high enough.

This point was already evident in Ye Chenyang.

The bitterness she smelled now, apart from the inspectors who had seen her before, came most strongly from Xiao Song.

Was he discouraged by his own actions?

Jiang Mian was very grateful to and respected this senior.

He was both Ye Chenyang's protector and one of the first high-level awakeners to accept his identity, so he knew Ye Chenyang inside and out.

Or... ask him afterwards if he needs to unleash his talent?

After all, she is already at the eighth rank, and the essence of her power has transformed into a semi-law, far surpassing ordinary demigods. Releasing a seventh-rank [Eye of the Wind] is just a piece of cake.

"We'll see when the time comes."

Jiang Mian withdrew her attention, took out a bubble from the [World], and popped it.

"Pop!"

The moment it broke free of its restraints, the fragments of flesh and blood accelerated rapidly, hurtling towards the city below.

While traveling, she had Jiang Ling study the characteristics of this thing and summarize a set of rules:

Fragments with high growth potential are more likely to be attracted to each other than to find a host, while those with low growth potential are the opposite.

Therefore, this thing can be used directly as a navigation device.

Combined with her precise perception enhanced by Ye Chenyang, it was basically no different from having the entire map open.

As long as the person in question is still in this base city, Jiang Mian is confident that he can find her within a minute!

Following the guidance of the fragments, she entered the city center and landed in front of a bustling shopping mall.

The square was bustling with people, filled with a lively atmosphere, which made Jiang Mian feel a little dazed.

She hadn't experienced such a lively daily life in a long time.

Just then, the fragment suddenly accelerated.

Jiang Mian reacted swiftly, using "wind" to grab the restless fragments and then looked towards the center of the square.

People came and went in the square, but one figure stood quietly in place.

Her long hair was loose, her work jacket was covered in unidentified stains, and she had an ordinary, down-on-her-luck demeanor.

But when Jiang Mian's gaze fell on her, he instinctively felt a strong sense of unease.

"That shouldn't be the case..."

She was certain that the person in front of her was the one she was looking for.

Strangely, Jiang Mian had seen the [Jade-Faced Rakshasa] after it had reached the pseudo-ninth rank before, but the feeling it gave her was completely different.

"You've arrived."

Just then, the woman suddenly spoke, interrupting Jiang Mian's thoughts.

Jiang Mian's mind immediately went into alert mode, and he reacted instantly.

The unusual behavior and origins of those people were so easy to detect that she suspected they were deliberately thrown out to fish for her.

Now it seems that it was indeed true!

The other party had no intention of hiding; they were just waiting for her to come to them!

Under Jiang Mian's wary gaze, Luo Sha slowly turned around, revealing a beautiful yet unusually haggard face, with a cigarette between her two fingers.

"【Doomsday】, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to be at level eight already."

Raksha exhaled a puff of white smoke, then casually tossed aside the still-burning cigarette butt in his hand, crushed it twice with his foot, his movements incredibly practiced.

Although he didn't seem very energetic, he was clearly conscious.

Jiang Mian looked at her with some surprise.

For some reason, the sense of incongruity became even stronger after she spoke.

But she wasn't familiar with Rakshasa to begin with, and couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"If you went to all that trouble to lure me here just to make a comment, then forget it."

Jiang Mian's voice was indifferent; he didn't want to waste any more words with her.

However, Rakshasa simply gazed at her silently.

The noise in the surrounding environment seemed to gradually fade away, leaving only a strange "click" sound echoing in Jiang Mian's ears.

Jiang Mian's expression changed slightly as he looked at the flesh fragment he had firmly controlled.

At some point, it transformed from a thin sheet of metal covered in flesh and blood into a blood-stained gear.

That's the source of the strange sound!

"This is... the shattered authority?!"

Shouldn't this be a [Kill] fragment?

"No, you guessed right, it really is a fragment of [Slaughter]."

Rakshasa seemed to see through her thoughts, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"But [Brokenness] exists in all things. He can use any authority as a vessel for [Brokenness] if He so desires."

"Him?"

Jiang Mian couldn't help but recall what Jiang Li had said before: among their enemies, there might still be corrupted ancient gods...

[Broken]! He is still alive, and has already been assimilated?

The big thing is bad!

Jiang Mian acted decisively, using the Annihilation Wind to cover the blood-stained gear and erase its existence.

That wasn't enough; she separated a portion of her consciousness and sank it into the world, destroying all the fragments.

But even after she had done all that, the strange sound still lingered.

Jiang Mian's expression darkened as he looked at Rakshasa not far away.

Her current state is perhaps similar to Zhao Niugao's; she is also an agent of the gods!

Even if one has not yet fully entered the ninth rank, one can still draw upon a portion of the power of the laws to briefly unleash the strength of a top-tier ninth rank.

During the invocation, she naturally bore the brunt of the [shattering] power!

"You figured it out?"

Rakshasa licked his lips, his smile growing increasingly unrestrained, even appearing somewhat distorted, as if anticipating something.

As the power of [Shattering] began to radiate, the surrounding scenery gradually began to distort.

But the passersby didn't seem to notice anything amiss and continued walking on their own, though tiny cracks had appeared on their bodies, making them look like glass about to shatter.

Seeing this, Jiang Mian unhesitatingly activated the [World].

The next second, the two figures appeared simultaneously in the sky above a sea area.

Strangely, after being pulled in, Rakshasa not only didn't panic, but instead looked at him with great interest.

"Is this your area of ​​expertise?"

Jiang Mian remained silent, but instead summoned the surrounding darkness to lock down the space around her.

The winds of annihilation surged like a tidal wave, completely engulfing her figure.

"Snap!"

However, a twisted and chaotic force of law erupted in the darkness, instantly tearing apart the encirclement of the Annihilation Wind.

Rakshasa emerged leisurely from the rift, a beating mechanical heart now in his hand.

Jiang Mian glanced at the bloody hole in her chest, his expression growing increasingly serious.

The power of [Shattering] began to spread throughout the [World].

Could it be... that she wants the world to break apart and separate like the old world?

So, from the very beginning, it was all aimed at me?!
