You call me a calamity? But I am Hyper Zetton!

"Brother, it wasn't me, I didn't."

Wu Minmin turned around abruptly, her face deathly pale, and she frantically waved her hands in front of her.

She felt like she had returned to her room and found that her parents had cleaned it for her, but the worst part was...

...Some kind of toy she had hidden under her pillow was also gone.

Wu Bai, sitting opposite him, looked on incredulously and staggered back two steps.

He raised his trembling right hand, pointing his fingertips at Wu Minmin.

"I saw you transform from Hyper Zetton back into a human with my own eyes, and you still want to deny it?"

Suddenly, Wu Bai seemed to realize something, his expression instantly turning ferocious as he roared, "You actually parasitized my sister? I'm going to kill you!"

Before the words were even finished, the walls around the villa's living room suddenly shattered, sending dust flying everywhere.

Six thick, green vines, accompanied by a whooshing sound, pierced straight at Wu Minmin in the center from different angles.

Wu Minmin's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly pushed off with her feet, her body leaping into the air.

She executed a standard Thomas Flair in mid-air.

With a burst of strength from his waist and abdomen, he twisted his body in a tiny space, precisely avoiding all the attacking vines.

The vines pierced through the ground, embedding themselves deeply into the marble tiles.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Wu Minmin stepped on one of the vines, bent her knees slightly, and lunged back at Wu Bai.

At the same time, she reached out with her right hand and a golden chain appeared out of thin air.

The chains flew twice in the air, making a clattering sound.

It then shot towards Wu Bai, entangling his arms and torso.

Wu Bai gritted his teeth and struggled desperately, his arm muscles bulging.

They tried to break the chains, but the golden light remained unmoved.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and stared fiercely at Wu Minmin, who was standing close to him: "HyperJetton, you killed my sister... I will haunt you even as a ghost."

Looking at her brother, who was almost delirious, Wu Minmin helplessly rubbed her forehead.

However, it turns out that his brother still cares about him.

She stepped forward, reached into her inner pocket, and pulled out the black Hyper Flash Sword.

"Brother, look carefully, I'm really not Hyper Zetton."

She held the Hyper Flash Sword in front of Wu Bai and waved it: "I transform using this thing."

"I only borrowed its power, not my true self. I am still me, still human, and still your sister."

Wu Bai stopped struggling and stared at the strangely shaped short sword.

After a long silence, he slowly raised his head, his sharp gaze fixed on Wu Minmin's eyes: "Are you really my sister?"

Wu Minmin nodded emphatically.

"You're not possessed by Hyper Zetton? Is it your consciousness or yourself?"

Wu Minmin felt a pang of sadness; she finally understood. She nodded vigorously once again.

"So you joined the side of the calamity?" Wu Bai suddenly threw out a fatal question.

Wu Minmin nodded subconsciously, but halfway through nodding, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

She looked up abruptly, meeting her brother's eyes, which were now burning with renewed anger.

"Wu Minmin..." Wu Bai's voice was icy cold, "Don't you know how your parents died?"

"You actually went to join the calamity?"

Just as Wu Minmin was about to speak in her defense, the Hyper Flash Sword flashed with a yellow light first:

"Hey kid, how dare you talk like that? Looking down on me?"

Wu Bai was stunned, looking at the sword with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

The Hyper Flash Sword continued to flash: "Minmin, transform into me. I am a demigod who can kill you humans. In this world, she is almost invincible."

"Do you know why she accepted my power?"

"It's all because of you. She was afraid that you, as her older brother, would encounter danger in the Misty World, so she accepted my power to come back and protect you."

"She became like this all because of you, and instead of comforting her, you dare to scold her?"

"What kind of brother are you? Pah! You're utterly incompetent."

After being bombarded with this barrage of words, Wu Minmin, who had initially wanted to explain, silently lowered her head.

My nose tingled, and a huge wave of grievance welled up in my heart.

Wu Bai was speechless for a moment after being rebuked; he opened his mouth and remained silent.

Hyper Flash Sword scoffed, "Besides, I'm a Hyper Zetton, the highest-ranking creature."

"Don't compare me to those lowly calamities on your earth; that's an insult to me."

"And remember this, I call it fusion, not parasitism. I am both human and Hyper Zetton."

"Integration?" Wu Bai frowned, seizing on a key word.

"You mean... the person you merged with, or the original person? You didn't erase their consciousness?"

The Hyper Flash Sword flashed yellow again, and the voice said matter-of-factly, "Of course, I am him, and he is me. This is fusion."

Wu Minmin, who was standing to the side, was stunned.

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a "coexistence of disaster and misfortune" method.

This is similar to how they acquire sequence abilities; they simply possess special abilities but remain themselves.

However, upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Judging from Hyper Zetton's rank, it certainly didn't come from the alien civilization that controlled the Mist Invasion.

From this perspective, the other party may indeed be merging rather than parasitizing.

Wu Bai remained silent for a moment, and the hostility in his eyes subsided considerably.

"Alright then." He nodded, his expression softening slightly.

"However, just to be on the safe side, I need Ye Lan to give Minmin a full check-up later."

"If the checkup shows no problems, I'll believe you. Okay, let me go."

Wu Minmin nodded, and with a thought, the golden chains binding Wu Bai turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

As soon as the restraints were removed, Wu Bai quickly stepped forward and pulled his sister into his arms tightly.

"Brother was wrong, brother shouldn't have yelled at you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips; his acting skills were becoming more and more superb.

Feeling the familiar embrace, Wu Minmin's eyes reddened: "It's okay, brother, I know you're doing this for my own good."

……

Just then…

The door to the villa's living room was pushed open, and Ye Lan walked in.

When she saw the familiar figure embracing Wu Bai, she was first stunned, then overjoyed.

However, out of caution, she immediately activated her third eye between her eyebrows to investigate.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, her eyes reddened.

"Minmin..."

With tears in her voice, she ran over and hugged Wu Minmin's arm tightly: "I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Wu Minmin straightened up from Wu Bai's embrace and turned to look at Ye Lan.

She hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile and explained, "You almost didn't get to see me again."

"Thank goodness... thank goodness the planet I went to had interstellar travel capabilities, which is why it brought me back."

After thinking about it, she decided to tell a white lie first.

After all, explaining the fact that they returned using Hyper Zetton's power is too complicated.

Ye Lan had no doubts. She held Wu Minmin's hand tightly, her face full of relief.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, nothing else matters."

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said urgently, "By the way, we'll go to the main city tomorrow."

"There's a demigod there, it's the safest place. I can't let you stay in this small, peripheral base city anymore."

"And that Hyper Zetton..."

Ye Lan paused, glanced at Wu Bai, and then pulled Wu Minmin upstairs. "Let's talk upstairs."

Wu Bai watched the two women go upstairs and shrugged.

He glanced around the living room, now a mess from the fight, shook his head helplessly, then opened the living room door and went out.

……

Hope Base City, western city wall.

The wind howled high above, causing the hem of a man with his hands in his pockets and wearing gold-rimmed glasses to flutter.

He pushed up his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the base city below, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Poor base city, it escaped the invasion of the beast tide, but it couldn't escape the scheming and vendettas of humans."

He tilted his head slightly, and a cold glint reflected from his glasses.

"How ironic."
