Dana, under the spell of Shadowspell, paced anxiously back and forth in Hydra's headquarters, while dazzling red lights shone from the windows in the distance.

The next moment, a red light swept across, and Dana, who had no power to resist, was directly swallowed by the red light and turned into a part of it.

Things suddenly became awkward. Mu Xishuang, who had prepared many lines, obediently shut her mouth and looked into the distance, pretending to admire the scenery.

Alex's fingers trembled slightly, and the black covering his hands deepened, as if his entire palm had turned into steel.

"Uh... I'm sorry, I didn't consider her when I made this magic circle." Mu Xishuang touched her nose apologetically, genuinely feeling sorry for herself. She had indeed initially intended to bring Dana out, but unfortunately, Bai Aina and Steve suddenly showed up, changing all her plans.

"Is that so? That's really..." Thank you so much! Grave Spike Annihilation! Alex slammed his fists heavily into the ground. Immediately afterwards, a large number of black spikes burst out of the ground, wrapping around Mu Xishuang from the outside in, attempting to strangle and pierce the girl right there.

No, that alone is not enough; even being reduced to ashes wouldn't be enough to quell Alex's hatred. He Sanjin's severe injury, Dana's death, her inaction all along—if she were just allowed to die like this…

"No, you have no chance." Mu Xishuang raised one hand, immobilizing Alex in place. "This is the Thousand-Eyed Beast Control Technique, originally used to control Shoggoths. But it's also very suitable for controlling you, because you are now closer to a Shoggoth capable of self-defining organs than the creations of the Blacklight Virus."

"..." Alex fell silent, staring at Mu Xishuang in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Well, that's the end of it. Your life, your story... if it weren't for our involvement, you wouldn't have ended up like this." Mu Xishuang shrugged, placing one hand on Alex's head, preparing to activate human transmutation to directly turn this chosen one of the story worlds into a ball of red spirit stone. "I'm also sorry about what happened to your sister. All I can do is send you to be with her."

A magic circle bearing archaic, somewhat obscure script unfolded between her palms, and Mu Xishuang calmly placed her hand on Alex's head. With a flash of red light, his body rapidly dissolved into a pool of liquid, tumbling and dancing in the air before settling into a fist-sized red stone.

"The quantity is not bad, but..." Mu Xishuang glanced at the fist-sized red stone in her hand, putting it away as she smiled. "But isn't something a little off... After all, you've already devoured quite a few humans or infected, haven't you?"

The metallic blade slashed down, a strike powerful enough to cleave through tank armor, but it was blocked by a thin layer of protective energy. Blue flames enveloped Mu Xishuang, who, without even looking, retaliated with a powerful punch.

Fueled by his inner cosmos, this seemingly ordinary strike pierced the attacker's chest, blasting out large chunks of his internal organs along with bone fragments. Even without checking, it was clear that Alex had attacked him from behind.

Seeing Alex convulsing on the ground, Mu Xishuang shook her hand, getting rid of all the fragments stuck to the armor.

"You stopped your heartbeat, slowed your blood flow, and even created fleshy pads on the soles of your feet to reduce the sound of your footsteps. Not only that, you also controlled your beliefs, keeping your mind free of distractions so that your killing intent wouldn't give you away." At this point, Mu Xishuang couldn't help but admire you. "Even if you obtained the memories through devouring, to be able to use them to this extent... in a sense, you really are a born assassin."

“But if that’s the case, you won’t be able to break through my sword’s encirclement.” Shaking her head, Mu Xishuang added one last sentence. “You actually know how to deceive me by creating clones. In a way, you’ve become quite clever.”

"While it may seem reckless, it's also a manifestation of self. Compared to the version of you I know, this actually makes you seem more individualistic."

"Well then, our complicated conversation is over. Goodbye." Mu Xishuang placed one hand on Alex's head, and under his indescribable gaze, she once again activated the Red Stone Spirit Orb forging spell. The churning liquid quickly solidified into a fist-sized red stone.

Although a main character had been eliminated, Mu Xishuang didn't feel there was anything to be happy about. After all, the biggest threats to her during this mission were Steve and Bai Aina, not the characters from the original story.

Of course, both of these major threats are now rendered harmless due to the influence of the Demonic Sound of Ignorance. In the end, Mu Xishuang emerged victorious in this mission.

"Although these two were expected gains, the fact that they've been delayed until now has proven valuable, just like raising pigs..."

Turning her attention back to Latia, who had been lying on the ground, Mu Xishuang slowly walked over. She knew she had to savor the appetizers before the main course.

Chapter Seventy-Four: I'll kill you!!!

Seeing Mu Xishuang deal with Alex while leaving her aside, Ladia struggled to support the Moonlight Greatsword piercing her chest with her hands, slowly pushing the blade out. With a clang, she stood up again, using healing magic to heal the fatal wound in her chest, and mobilizing her remaining spiritual energy to prepare for battle.

"Uh...ha..." Latia, her eyes almost unfocused, struggled to stand, her blood-stained Moonlight Greatsword losing its original luster.

“I originally thought you would question me like that, but you didn’t… In a way, I’m a little disappointed.” Mu Xishuang sighed, and the red light in the city began to converge, separating a portion that fell into her hand. “Although I’ve already seen the real finished product in lab class… the one I made myself really feels different.”

“Why…why do this…to turn the entire city’s inhabitants into redstone to gain power, don’t you feel even the slightest shame, even the slightest sense of wrongdoing?” Ladia’s fingers gripped the hilt of the Moonsword tightly, as if a drowning person had grasped at a straw. “Why…why…does someone like you exist in this world…it’s absolutely unforgivable…”

Here it comes, my favorite scene. Mu Xishuang gazed at the crimson sky in the distance, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind. In the crimson afterglow, she turned around and stretched out her palm, a cruel smile playing on her lips.

"Reasons? You can easily find plenty of excuses like that if you want to."

"I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me." "The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive." "Only children talk about right and wrong; adults only talk about interests." "Human morality is meaningless to non-human beings."

Countless people have used these words as an excuse to give their evil deeds a neutral or gray quality. But when such words come from the mouth of Mu Xishuang, who has just completely refined an entire city into a red spirit pearl, they seem incredibly ironic.

"These plausible excuses abound. They are used to whitewash one's actions, making the original misdeeds seem perfectly neutral."

"But that doesn't matter. I can clearly recognize that I am evil, and my actions will not make the world a better place. On the contrary, they will plunge the world into the abyss of despair. But that doesn't stop me from doing all this. As for why... this is the way to maximize benefits, and for me, human morality is not important."

That's right, her very existence is undoubtedly evil. If there were more people like Latia in the world, it would indeed make the world a better place, but... what does that have to do with her?

"Holy Light Cross Sword!" Taking advantage of her opponent's boastful words, Ladia discarded her Moonlight Greatsword and brought her right index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger. Holy light, like white mist, condensed at her fingertips, rapidly intensifying until it transformed into a sword formed from white light.

Like a large, extended, and sharpened cross, a longsword formed from bright, pure white, and soft holy light pierced straight at Mu Xishuang's brow. As Latia stepped forward, it even gave people the illusion of hearing hymns being chanted.

"Kidu Breaking Sun Slash!" Naturally, she couldn't make the mistake of 'villains die from talking too much'. Surrounded by blue flames, Mu Xishuang held up the gathering red light with her left hand, while her right hand transformed into a dark sun. Her invincible hand blade slashed down, directly blocking the Holy Light Cross Sword thrust by Latia.

Swords clashed, and the Dark Saints clashed. Already severely injured and exhausted, Latia collapsed to her knees in the midst of the confrontation. Mu Xishuang casually drew her Moonlight Greatsword, intending to finish off her opponent right there and then.

"Ah~!" The mentally challenged Bai Aina saw the dazzling red light and immediately crawled over on all fours, opening her mouth to try and bite the red light.

"Get out of my way." With a spinning kick, Mu Xishuang sent Bai Aina flying. Her right hand transformed into a dark blade once more, slicing Bai Aina open and cutting her in half at the waist.

"!" Bai Aina, who had been cut in half at the waist, let out a muffled groan of pain, but she didn't lose her composure and scream out loud. Mu Xishuang frowned as she looked at this guy, carefully putting away the red light that had gathered in her hand, preparing to let it disperse and gather elsewhere.

"!" The scarlet tongue shot out with a 'whoosh', and the mentally challenged Bai Aina immediately used a move she would never normally use, directly wrapping around the dazzling red light, dragging it over and swallowing it before Mu Xishuang could grab it tightly.

Kids just love to eat random things; they can lick glass beads for ages. The mentally challenged Bai Aina looked at the dazzling red light and swallowed it without a word.

"————————————————————"

Countless lingering thoughts exploded in her mind, and the effects of the Foolish Demonic Sound were shattered amidst the screams of hundreds of thousands of people. Their remaining thoughts before death washed over Bai Aina's mind, leaving her in a daze for a moment.

"Troublesome!" Without saying a word, Mu Xishuang once again summoned the Dark Sun Hand Blade, attempting to cleave Bai Aina in two with a single palm strike.

However, Nuen, having recovered from the influence of the Demonic Sound, stepped out of the Mind Reflection in time. Just as his hand was about to strike her forehead, he released a repulsive force field that propelled the air, sending Bai Aina flying backward and preventing her from being cleaved in two on the spot.

"Huh? Ah? It's so noisy. Even a concert shouldn't be like this." The wailing of the dead was incredibly loud. Although it wasn't the first time Bai Aina had experienced auditory hallucinations, she couldn't possibly get used to it.

"Tsk, you're quite something to turn the wails of hundreds of thousands of people before they die into a concert." Mu Xishuang didn't rush to attack again, but instead summoned the Emperor Sirius and the Black Sphere. The light and flames generated by her microcosm became even more dazzling; she was clearly gathering energy to blast Bai Aina and Latia to pieces together.

"What? So that was the wailing of hundreds of thousands of people before they died?" Bai Aina was slightly taken aback, but then she remembered what she had just done.

'Boom!' The ground beneath her feet suddenly exploded, and the ground around Bai Aina began to crack and explode uncontrollably. Because she had absorbed too much Spirit Pearl Red Stone, a little bit of red light overflowed from the surface of her body, which then disappeared.

Enraged to the point of almost mirroring Yujiro Hanma's expression, Aina activated her Divine Speed. Empowered by the power of wind and thunder, and with the massive amount of life force she had just absorbed, the girl's single step caused the ground to ripple violently, creating distinct waves like ocean currents.

"I kill you!!!"

"You ate whatever you wanted, and you have the nerve to blame me?"

Welcome to True Knowledge [Part 2]

In the reincarnation world that is said to link an infinite multiverse, how many reincarnators should there be? A technological warband once conducted a survey on this, and even without counting reincarnators outside the warband, the number is probably over eight figures. If the reserves in the subsidiary story worlds are included, the number would probably be even higher.

"So, the more people there are, the more idiots there are, and the more lunatics there are. Who did you believe to come here?" Sitting on the stone bench she had carved out of boredom, Mu Xishuang said to Zhang Qingyan with a smile.

While Zhang Qingyan remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, Mu Xishuang skillfully took out a white ceramic tea set with gold trim, brewed a pot of black tea that she considered decent, and handed a cup to herself and Zhang Qingyan.

“A girl… dressed in pink. The moment she appeared, both Xian and Kong stared at her intently.” Zhang Qingyan took the red tea but didn’t drink it. She simply held it carefully in her hands, as if to savor the last remaining warmth. “She introduced us to Zhenzhi and gave us this business card.”

As she spoke, Zhang Qingyan freed one hand and took a business card from her jacket pocket, pushing it forward on the stone table. Mu Xishuang took the business card, examined it carefully, and then, as if she had just realized something, wore an expression of sudden understanding.

Hmm... It sounds like the young master doesn't know which incarnation he's using, and it's no wonder these two boys were tricked into joining. Mu Xishuang vaguely remembered that in the general handbook within the battle group, her young master's incarnations often went around tricking people into joining the group, which was also a way to give these new members something to do.

"Then let's proceed as usual. You can choose to leave or stay now. We won't stop you either way." Although it sounded like a lie, Mu Xishuang was telling the truth. If Zhang Qingyan chose to leave now, the [True Knowledge] battle group wouldn't be so petty as to do anything to her.

For a notorious and universally disliked faction like [True Knowledge], it would be more convenient to find or cultivate valuable and promising characters within the Reincarnation World itself, rather than recruiting new members from the Reincarnation Space.

The emotions contained in her black eyes were more restrained. Having already prepared herself mentally, Zhang Qingyan replied, "I choose to stay."

Seemingly satisfied with Zhang Qingyan's answer, Mu Xishuang couldn't help but smile. She took out her Book of Reincarnation, opened it, and began to perform her duties skillfully.

As Zhang Qingyan answered, her Book of Reincarnation turned on its own, and the unique mark of the [True Knowledge] battle group appeared on the pages. It was an ouroboros, a creature with special significance in mysticism, with a golden apple inside its body.

“Look back, there’s a basic chapter agreement. The atmosphere in [True Knowledge] is quite relaxed, and it’s not like what outsiders think, where members are required to sacrifice the world for every mission—that would be exhausting. Our motto is easy and casual.” Recalling the various slanderous and defamatory rumors circulating in the trading square, Mu Xishuang seemed quite dissatisfied. “As for the chapter rules, there aren’t many. Out of consideration for your preferences, we don’t prohibit internal fighting. Anything can be resolved in the training grounds, even to the death.”

Zhang Qingyan, who had been turning the pages of the book, stopped and asked with some doubt, "Isn't this okay? If all the members of the battle group die in the infighting, then what about the battle group's own interests...?"

"It's alright, it's just the young lady's hobby. In the end, this group was just a group formed by the young lady and a few of her friends because of their shared interests. It's not easy to get to where it is now." Mu Xishuang had always felt that [True Knowledge] was more like a large club than a battle group, except that the people in it were not quite mentally sound.

Zhang Qingyan, who was reviewing the warband agreement, paused for a moment, then asked with an incredulous expression, "Can a newly joined warband member choose any senior warband member as their mentor? Can it be anyone?"

"Yes, it's a strict rule. After all, our group is relatively small, and we'd be at a huge disadvantage if we couldn't fight." Recalling the 'master' she encountered when she entered, Mu Xishuang couldn't help but sigh at how adorable she used to be. "Although the agreement states that apprentices cannot be harmed, there are many ways to circumvent these restrictions. For example, subtle mental transformation, or personality reshaping through language communication. These are our specialties, so you need to be careful when you're learning."

Nodding slightly, Zhang Qingyan didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she began to look up who the senior members of the battle group could become her teachers.

Jugglus Juggler is skilled in his self-created Serpent Heart style swordsmanship and is also proficient in summoning magic. New members of the new chapter can try to learn how to create Demon Beast cards from him. However, he is cold and aloof, and if an applicant does not meet his expectations, he may very well be killed.

The Bat Who Laughs is a character from the original DC Comics universe. He is skilled in using 'Digital Souls' and possesses his own unique fighting spirit. New members of your crew whose worldview and values ​​are not yet fully developed or formed are not advised to become his apprentices; otherwise, you will bear the consequences.

Kashiwazaki is not a husband, poses less danger, has a stable personality, and is relatively weak. He is a traditional mythical creature tamer and mage. New members of the band can try to acquire one or two mythical creatures as combatants, or learn spells.

Giles de Rais, Jester, Mensis, Demigra… Although Zhang Qingyan had never heard of their names before, he could sense that none of them were easy to get along with. It was as if he had perceived knowledge that his brain could not process; simply thinking of their names in his mind made his thoughts nearly boil over in a frenzy.

"Calm down, it's just a name." Sipping her red tea, Mu Xishuang's voice was as melodious as a silver bell. Zhang Qingyan, whose mind had been in a daze, immediately snapped back to reality. She instinctively wanted to throw the Book of Reincarnation away, but instead gripped it tightly.

"I... have already made my choice." Clutching tightly the Corpse of the Dead's March 8th Chamber beside her, Zhang Qingyan had already made her decision.

“Alright, that’s enough for now. I look forward to seeing you again.” With her Book of Reincarnation tucked under her arm, Mu Xishuang, who looked like an ordinary office worker, snapped her fingers, and the two returned to the gate of the [True Knowledge] battle group.

Without saying much, Zhang Qingyan bowed slightly and prepared to leave. Mu Xishuang seemed to have thought of something, and she looked at his retreating figure and said in a distant voice, "By the way, remember to restrain your killing intent. When people are thinking under the influence of a magnetic field of 100,000 rpm, they don't even have the freedom to hide their thoughts. If you encounter the [Crimson Force] group, you will be blasted into pieces."

Zhang Qingyan paused slightly as she left. Even without seeing her face, Mu Xishuang could tell that she was shocked and confused.

The departing figure remained motionless, and Mu Xishuang wore an expression of great interest, as if she had stumbled upon a fine toy.

It doesn't matter, but is this what the card really means? Mu Xishuang took out the card with the Green Arrow printed on it from the pocket of her vest, lost in thought.

I am no hero, merely a hunter… adrift in the sea of ​​justice… Ha, a girl seeking revenge for her two friends? I think I've seen her there before. Although Mu Xishuang wanted to take the card back, it seemed to have fulfilled its mission, dissipating into countless data points.

"Wait a minute, isn't that a bit stingy? I was planning to keep it as a souvenir..."

Chapter Seventy-Five SAN 0

Seeing the wind and thunder clearing the way, Emperor Sirius and Black Ball immediately rushed forward to block the great enemy. The beast-transformed spiked hammer and the mountain tongue pierced out, the overwhelming giant tongue aimed at slightly slowing down the opponent's speed, and then the spiked hammer in its predatory form severely injured it.

Completely losing his mind, unwilling to accept what had just happened, Newn's words of advice in his mind were directly kicked aside, and the originally white exoskeleton armor turned completely bright red as if in response to its master's wishes.

"Divine Speed ​​- True Martial Zen - Spreading Dolphin Swarm!" Thunder roared, a raging wind escorted her, and Bai Aina, dragging the wind and thunder forward, materialized the white mist in her hands into dazzling light. Her fists struck out from a distance, and her arms immediately exploded into a cloud of blood mist. Dozens of white dolphins leaped out of the blood mist, rushing towards Emperor Sirius and the black sphere.

With their overwhelming numbers, dozens of white dolphins tore through the massive mountain tongue and the beast head formed from the spiked hammer, slamming them into the black sphere and the Emperor Sirius. The former was instantly ripped into countless fragments, while the latter, thanks to its nanocomposite armor, withstood the high-frequency vibrations for a while, but was quickly reduced to scrap metal.

The reason her arm exploded after delivering such a punch was that the high-frequency vibrations that Bai Aina had just created with her psychic energy were too much for her arm and exoskeleton armor to withstand. However, thanks to the life force from the absorbed Spirit Pearl Red Stone, her arms regenerated instantly, and even her exoskeleton armor repaired itself at an extremely fast pace.

After adjusting her posture in mid-air, Bai Aina rushed towards Mu Xishuang without saying a word. Relying on the excellent mobility brought by her divine speed, she made an extremely complex turning maneuver while moving at high speed through the air. Her regenerated right fist once again appeared with a layer of white mist.

"Such incredible digestive ability..." Watching Bai Aina's right fist transform back into a white dolphin the size of a sperm whale, Mu Xishuang slightly moved her fingers, a dark light overflowing from between them. "This kind of thing... I don't care!"

"Dark Light Finger!"

In the extreme conflict, the huge white dolphin was tightly held by fingers covered in dark light. Even though it possessed destructive power that could penetrate even nuclear defense facilities, it could not escape or break free from the tight grip of these five fingers.

“Not enough, if this is all you need…” Mu Xishuang was about to continue her taunts when she saw dozens more arms sprout from Bai Aina’s back. Although each arm lacked exoskeleton armor and could barely withstand the high-frequency vibrations of Nen, this was all she needed for a short time…
