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

Wu Bai's face, devoid of features, turned slightly.

The yellow glowing crystal flickered on and off, its gaze sweeping over the three people in front of it.

"I won't force you, but you only get one chance. What do you four say?"

"Thump."

Without any hesitation, Ye Rongfei knelt heavily on both knees, her forehead pressed against the carpet, her upper body almost prostrate at Wu Bai's feet.

"Please grant me strength, boss. I am willing to give everything."

Her voice trembled, but she emphasized every word.

As an ordinary person burdened with a deep-seated blood feud, she desperately craved power.

Now that the ladder to heaven is right in front of her, she would hate herself if she missed it.

Ji An and the Spider Queen exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

"That woman is really fast."

Without further hesitation, the two knelt down with two thuds and shouted in unison, "We are also willing to accept reform and swear to serve our leader to the death."

"Meow."

The black cat leaped lightly from Wu Bai's arms, and the moment it landed, it was enveloped in black mist, transforming into a catwoman dressed in black leather.

She knelt on one knee beside Wu Bai's legs, tilted her head back, and said with a fervent look in her eyes, "Master, I want some too."

Wu Bai slowly raised his right arm, his huge pincers hovering in the air.

Four drops of deep purple blood appeared out of thin air, hovering in front of the four people, emitting an eerie light.

"Swallow it."

Without any hesitation, the four of them swallowed it in one gulp.

Adam's apple bobbed.

"The renovation will take some time, so please bear with it."

Wu Bai stood up, looked down at the catwoman who had transformed back into a black cat and jumped back into his arms, and then glanced at the three people on the ground who were curling up in pain.

"I will go to the main city tomorrow. After you complete the renovation, stay in Hope Base City and await my instructions."

Despite the excruciating pain churning within them, the three gritted their teeth and replied, "Yes."

The air distorted, and a flash of seven-colored light appeared.

Wu Bai and the catwoman on the sofa vanished instantly, leaving behind an empty room and three people undergoing transformation.

Wu Bai first took the catwoman back to the previous settlement, then his figure flickered again and returned to Villa No. 1 in the city center.

……

Night falls.

On the western city wall of Hope Base City, Ji Xuan stood at the very edge of the wall, his hands in his pockets.

He lowered his head slightly, his cold eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses looking down at the brightly lit city below.

He raised his hand to push up his glasses and muttered to himself, "Kokotar has already parasitized half of the residents and is advancing towards the city center."

"Given such a commotion, Hyper Zetton has yet to show up, so it seems he's really gone."

Ji Xuan's lips slowly curved upwards, forming a slight smile.

He suddenly opened his arms wide, facing the night's fierce wind, as if to embrace the city.

"Then... let's enjoy this death celebration together."

As soon as the words fell…

He leaned forward, lost his balance, and fell headfirst off the hundred-meter-high city wall.

Just as his body was about to crash into the ground, the air rippled, and his figure vanished into thin air.

……

Late at night, in the city center, at Villa No. 1.

The bedroom was pitch black, with only moonlight shining through the window onto the headboard.

Wu Bai, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight in bed.

Within his three-thousand-meter perception range, a large amount of Cocotar's aura suddenly appeared.

"Where did all these cocotals come from?"

A flash of seven-colored light, and Wu Bai on the bed vanished instantly.

……

The second floor of the villa.

"Buzz...buzz..."

A series of rapid vibrations came from under the pillow.

Wu Minmin frowned groggily, reached under her pillow and groped around for a while before grabbing the vibrating Hyper Flash Sword.

She rolled over, buried her face in the blanket, and mumbled indistinctly, "What is it... making harassing phone calls in the middle of the night..."

The patterns on the surface of the Hyper Flash Sword flashed with rapid yellow light, and the sound exploded directly in her mind.

"Wake up! The entire population around the base city has been parasitized by Kokotar, and they are advancing towards the city center."

"What?"

Wu Minmin instantly snapped awake, sprawling upright in bed, all sleepiness gone: "Kokotar? Where did he come from?"

"I don't know, we're checking."

"You can deal with those humans who have been parasitized. I'm going to find the mastermind behind this."

Wu Minmin quickly threw off the covers and jumped out of bed, gripping the scabbard of the Hyper Flash Sword tightly with her left hand and resting her right hand on the hilt.

Suddenly, she stopped moving.

The moonlight shone on her face, making her expression somewhat unfocused, as her fingers repeatedly stroked the hilt of her sword.

With each transformation, the indifference of those high-ranking beings subtly influences one's personality.

And this time, he'll be facing a parasite...

...those humans who appear to be alive and well.

Although reason tells her that those parasitized by Cocotar are beyond saving and must be eliminated.

But she didn't know...

...After massacring these monsters with human appearances, how will one's humanity be eroded?

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Wu Minmin took a deep breath, her eyes gradually hardening.

She gritted her teeth and exerted force with her right hand.

"Clang..."

Hyper Flash Sword is drawn.

In any case, if these monsters are not stopped, more innocent people will die.

……

In the distance, on the rooftop water tank of a high-rise building.

Wu Bai looked in the direction of Villa No. 1 and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Although with his strength, he could wipe out this bunch of scum in an instant.

But it seems more meaningful to let Wu Minmin get some exercise.

After all, killing so many parasites at once and overcoming inner obstacles is a huge test and tempering of her character.

"good."

Wu Bai said in a low voice, "The plan to raise a younger sister has taken another step forward."

Then, he slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over countless buildings before settling on the Speaker's office.

"Mastermind, we've found you."
