All the women in the apocalypse are mine

Cold, oppressive, and utterly evil.

The purple hue abruptly ends before the falling night stars... From God's perspective, the white space is now clearly divided into two parts.

Half of it is white, representing the falling stars at night, and the other half is purple, representing evil.

Ye Xinglu looked at the single eye that appeared from the fluctuating space in front of him, and his expression instantly became serious.

He realized that this must be the space where the soul resides.

The one-eyed creature before him had already invaded the depths of his soul.

"As expected of you...you're really troublesome..."

Ye Xinglu said softly... without much emotional fluctuation.

After all, he was one of the supreme beings in the void, so he would be somewhat surprised if he died so easily.

The fact that even a centipede dies but doesn't fall down is one of the reasons why these ethereal things are so difficult to deal with!

There's no point in panicking or being afraid now; in the space where the soul resides, Night Starfall has no room for compromise.

“You know me.”

It wasn't a question, but a certainty... The voice, now transformed into a single eye the size of Night Starfall, spoke coldly.

Even in its current predicament, it still maintains its indifferent attitude towards everything.

"So what?"

Ye Xinglu stared directly at the single eye opposite him, facing it up close in his soul form. He felt an unsettling sensation of being completely seen through.

Those large, wise eyes exerted immense pressure on people without them even realizing it.

“I… am curious about you, I… am curious about all the unknown things…” The one-eyed man’s emotionless voice echoed in the silent space, “So… I want you to become a part of me.”

Ye Xinglu looked up at the bulging single eye and felt an unimaginable hunger.

This hunger is not a craving for flesh and blood, but something deeper.

That relentless hunger was invisibly dragging the night stars away.

“That’s impossible,” Ye Xinglu said sarcastically. “Even if I die… I won’t become a disgusting thing like you.”

"As a lower being, you should be proud and honored." A purple light flashed in the pupil of the one-eyed creature. "Although you destroyed my physical body, my consciousness... is immortal."

The white space seemed to freeze suddenly, and Ye Xingluo abruptly realized that... he had somehow become unable to move his body.

One-Eyed seemed to have seen through his intention to perish together with him.

"Before my consciousness... you humans have no power to resist."

As the one-eyed man spoke, he slowly wrapped his tentacles around Ye Xingluo, entwining them around her fair body. The tentacles, radiating an evil aura, gradually dyed the area they covered purple.

"That wretched fellow!"

Ye Xinglu gritted her teeth, desperately trying to regain control of her body, but it seemed as if an insurmountable chasm separated her from escaping that terrifying confinement.

As the oldest being in the void, the Cyclops is immortal... It was originally a consciousness that wandered in space at the beginning of the void's birth, and after thousands of years, it evolved into a physical body. The tentacles that it developed represent its insatiable thirst for knowledge.

The loss of its physical body is nothing to it.

"Waaah..."

Night Starfall was no longer able to speak. The densely intertwined tentacles had completely wrapped him up into a cocoon, slowly pulling him toward the indifferent one-eyed man.

The tentacles seemed to have been deliberately left open so that Ye Xingluo's eyes could clearly see how he was absorbed and then merged with the higher being.

"Feel lucky, human." The one-eyed voice rang out again. "This is not death for you, but a...great evolution!"

My dear Grandma Li!

Damn it! If I had known it would turn out like this... I would have preferred to have been trampled to death by that guy from my previous life!

They won't even let you commit suicide... What a bunch of Void creatures with no sense of martial ethics!

As he drew ever closer to the purple, one-eyed creature, all Ye Xinglu could do was curse the monstrous tentacle monster in front of him in his heart, expressing his resentment with angry eyes.

This time... it seems to be completely over...

Night Star sighed softly in her heart.

After all, this time... there's no longer the fairy lady to let me go back in time and start over.

However, just as Ye Xingluo resignedly closed her eyes, besides the wriggling sound of tentacles, she suddenly heard the sound of leather boot heels hitting the ground.

Who is it...?

Why is there a third abnormal voice in his consciousness space?

"Zfkl - Bullet 7".

A calm, composed voice, like that of a well-mannered young lady, suddenly rang out in the space.

Along with that came the crisp ticking of a clock and... a loud gunshot!

Everything in the space was frozen in absolute stillness at this moment.

...

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Wow, it's Kurumi-san!

In the silent space, the faint sound of a melodious saxophone could be heard.

Both Ye Xingluo's unwilling gaze and the wriggling tentacle of the one-eyed creature were frozen in place at that moment.

"Oh, Starfall...you really look a mess right now~"

A mysterious girl dressed in a Gothic Lolita dress suddenly appeared beside Ye Xingluo, revealing a stunning smile.

Time seemed to stop flowing at that moment. Ye Xinglu looked at the familiar girl in front of her in surprise, her mouth slightly agape.

Her long black hair was tied into two braids, which fell gracefully over her shoulders. Her slender body seemed as if it could break with the slightest force. Her waterfall-like bangs covered the left half of her stunningly beautiful face, while the other side revealed her right eye, which was as deep as a black hole, and her lips, which were as delicate as cherry blossom petals.

Such beauty is imbued with a devilish charm that can captivate men with just a single glance.

The girl who left such a deep impression on Ye Xingluo was the only golden legend he had summoned in his previous life.

Kurumi Tokisaki!

How...how could this be...

How did the elf get into his head?

Shouldn't she have returned to her original world when she went back in time?

Goodness...

Ye Xingluo suddenly felt a lot of noise in his head; if one more guy came, they could make a whole mahjong table.

"What's wrong, Hoshino... you look very surprised." Kurumi said, looking quite sad. "You really don't want to see me? Then I'll be going."

"Wait... I'm naturally very happy to see Kurumi-san under these circumstances." Yoru Hoshino couldn't help but give a wry smile. "But... could you explain things to me a little, or... could you put me down first...?"

"I'm sorry, that won't work." Kurumi's dark, deep eyes swept over the one-eyed body that was imprisoning Yoru Hoshiro. "I really don't know where you got such a powerful creature from this time, Hoshiro. Even for me... stopping time when it was about to devour you and its mind was slightly disturbed was already the limit."

Is that so?

Night Star murmured, a sense of understanding flashing through his mind.

For Kurumi, the one-eyed creature in front of her is a very troublesome opponent.

"Will my soul forever remain in this shameful state?"

"I can't help it," Ye Xinglu said helplessly.

To be honest... for him, who was completely naked in his soul state, being tightly wrapped by tentacles was naturally a terrible experience.

"It will probably stay like this until you can completely eliminate it."

Kurumi covered her mouth and chuckled, her tone gloating.

"Eh... I'm already quite content that I didn't die." Ye Xinglu sighed softly, quickly gathering her chaotic thoughts before asking, "Then... why is Miss Kurumi here?"

"Yes...why is that..." Kurumi raised her slender fingers, tapped her chin, and showed a thoughtful expression. "Perhaps...she finds this place, Hoshiro, very interesting, so she wants to stay here and explore more."

"Um... as expected of Kurumi-san..." Yoru Hoshino then voiced her doubts, "Shouldn't Kurumi-san have already returned to her original dimension?"

"Unless the summoner breaks the contract themselves or dies unexpectedly..." Kurumi gave a meaningful look, "otherwise, I can choose to stay~"

Upon hearing Kurumi's explanation, Yoruichiro instantly understood. He had returned to the past through Kurumi's power, so... he hadn't truly died. The contract he made when summoning Kurumi still existed, and Kurumi could still remain in this world at her own will.

"Thank goodness Kurumi is here..."

Ye Xinglu couldn't help but sigh... He thought he was going to die, but he was lucky enough to be saved once again.

"But Starfall... don't be too happy yet~" Kurumi suppressed her smile and said softly, "My power is limited. Perhaps at some point... the immortal consciousness before you will break through the shackles of time and continue the ritual of devouring. After all, the one existing in your soul space is just an avatar."

"A clone? Then, Kurumi-san, what is your true self...?"

“My true self does indeed have the ability to seal her away permanently, but…” Kurumi sighed, “I don’t know where my true self is right now… Perhaps she will suddenly appear beside you in the next second, or perhaps she has already left this world.”

After listening, Ye Xinglu fell silent.

Kurumi's meaning is clear... there's a time bomb in her head that could explode at any moment. To eliminate this threat, they must find her true self, but that's like finding a needle in a haystack.

It seems we need to think of other ways... We can't place all our hopes on this slim possibility.

Even facing the crisis of having his soul devoured at any moment, Ye Xingluo did not feel any despair... He was the strongest summoner under the starry sky!

And summoners... are also a profession that creates miracles!

"Hey, Kurumi-san... I have a request~" Yoru said softly, her eyes sparkling like stars, "When you realize that the One-Eyed is about to break free of its restraints, if I don't have a solution by then... please obliterate my soul first!"

Kurumi nodded slightly... agreeing to Yoru's request.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he raised his head and revealed a strange smile.

"By the way, Starfall... I'll give you a heads-up beforehand." Kurumi said in a somewhat subtle tone, "When you wake up later... there will be huge trouble waiting for you, but given your nature in your previous life, you should be able to handle it well."

Just as Ye Xinglu was about to ask more questions about Kurumi's ambiguous words, her vision suddenly blurred.

It looks like... he's about to wake up.
