It's time to become an evil god.

The building, covered in green vines, looks like a giant stone coffin cast in cement, creating a feeling of oppression and confinement.

The door was then opened, revealing a scene of utter chaos inside.

The ground was covered with dirty black footprints, and there were large patches of splattered blood on the walls. Papers and documents were scattered all over the place, and nothing was intact.

Bai Ge glanced around and said with a sigh, "Anyone who didn't know better would think we'd stumbled upon a zero-dollar shopping event in the US."

Something's not right.

The hellish monk held the box in both hands and said calmly, "This place wasn't like this before I left."

"Help! Someone please save me!"

From the dark corridor beyond where everyone's eyes were focused, a faint cry for help could be heard.

Xi Zeliang and Bai Ge exchanged a glance, nodded in tacit agreement, and prepared to slowly walk in that direction.

The faint screams grew louder and louder in their ears. Bai Ge and Xi Zeliang peeked out and finally saw the source of the cries for help.

It was a security guard from a secret organization wearing a tattered bulletproof vest. His hands and feet were missing, and his entire upper body, like a candle, was firmly stuck to the abdominal cavity of a giant cockroach-like monster with bits of flesh and blood.

Rustling.

A giant cockroach flapped its wings and slowly crawled towards the end of the corridor, its forelegs still gripping a mutilated human leg, which it was gnawing on with relish.

On its back lies half a human body, its fate unknown, still emitting mechanical screams in a numb state.

"Help! Help! Someone save me..."

Suddenly, the screams stopped abruptly.

The walkie-talkie lying in the corner at my feet suddenly emitted a hissing sound and a man's urgent cry for help came through.

"This is Alpha Squad! This is Alpha Squad! We're under heavy attack from monsters in District 8! Requesting backup! Requesting backup! Someone, please save us! Ah—"

With a sharp scream, the cries for help came to an abrupt halt.

The cockroach monster spread its elytra and slowly turned around. The half-body of the security guard on its abdomen also turned around at the same time. Its eyeballs had long since disappeared, and in place of two snail-like antennae in the empty, dark eye sockets. It looked at Bai Ge and Xi Ze Liang standing at the corner of the corridor with a gloomy gaze.

Bai Ge said seriously, "The last time I saw this scene was during the physical education exam for high school graduates in Guangdong."

Nishizawa Ryo was stunned. "What? They test this too?"

"Just like the Predator hunting aliens, each Guangdong cub's coming-of-age ceremony requires taming a giant cockroach mount on its own."

"After listening to your description..."

Xi Zeliang stared at the ugly anthropomorphic cockroach monster and slowly said, "Now I finally understand what kind of hellish life the people of Guangdong usually live in."

Chapter 239 Alien Invasion

"Help me! Please help me!"

The monster charged fiercely and brutally in this direction. Only then did Bai Ge and Xi Zeliang see the horrific scene behind it: a pile of mangled corpses. Judging from their uniforms and guns, they were likely security personnel heading to support the underground facility. The giant cockroach bore numerous dents from 5.56 caliber bullets; humanity's prized weapons seemed to have done no harm to the monster's rock-solid shell.

Nishizawa Ryo also noticed something amiss and immediately shouted, "Are you sure people from Guangdong usually need to deal with this kind of terrifying thing?"

Suddenly, the wall shattered, and a giant steel dragon rushed into the corridor, pinning the cockroach monster against the wall. The man's corpse in the abdominal cavity on its body let out a painful howl.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

The man's corpse screamed in unison with the monster attached to it. Bai Ge even suspected that the mangled corpse on the cockroach's abdomen was a trap organ used to lure humans into its trap by making loud cries for help, just like the bait tongue of an alligator snapping turtle and the light on the head of an anglerfish.

The steel dragon opened its mouth, and a flashing arc of electricity erupted from its mouth, slamming directly into the monster's body. The scorching electronic light ripped through its intestines like cutting tofu, and its hard shell melted rapidly as if it had hit a red-hot iron. The monster went limp, motionless, and stopped struggling.

Bai Ge was instantly stunned, while Xize Liang calmly explained, "This is the 2.0 upgraded version of the Steel Dragon, which I call Nova."

The others rushed over, and when they saw the giant monster lying dead in front of them, their expressions all changed.

Just then, the monster, which they thought was dead, suddenly stood up and roared as it charged toward the unsuspecting Nishizawa Ryo and Shiro.

"careful!"

Upon seeing this, Faust's expression changed drastically. He pulled a grotesque snake-haired corpse head from his inventory and hurriedly shouted, "Quick! You two, close your eyes right now!"

The head held in her hand suddenly opened its eyes, its eerie vertical pupils staring at the enormous monster before it. A sharp banshee's howl shattered the silence.

The cockroach monster, whose eyes met the monster's, began to slowly petrify, starting from its abdomen and legs, until its entire body was unable to move, turning into a bizarre insect stone sculpture.

"This is……"

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the head in Faust's hand, but he instantly stuffed it into a tattered burlap sack covered with strange magical patterns and calmly said, "This is the head of Medusa that I obtained from a Greek mythology dungeon. Once you look into it, you will be petrified, and the petrification process is irreversible. I generally don't use this item unless absolutely necessary."

Then everyone's gaze turned to the stone monster behind them, its face still bearing the hideous and terrifying expression it had before its death, inspiring fear in everyone.

"What a beautiful creation!"

Maddie remarked with emotion, "Neither nuclear radiation nor human gene editing technology could create such a perfect work of art."

pretty???

Young man, is there something wrong with your taste?

Faust walked up to the monster, stroked its stone, frowned, and said, "This is just an ordinary American cockroach. Apart from its size and the organs that have merged with the human body, it's quite ordinary in every way. Although I know that such monsters can be created through black magic and scientific modification, altering the nervous system of a living organism requires a huge amount of magical power. Highly skilled magicians disdain experimenting on such low-level life forms as humans and cockroaches; they prefer to create hybrids of two ancient mythical creatures."

Bai Ge thought for a moment and said, "For example, a gargoyle demon with a blue-eyed white dragon's head between its legs?"

Xi Zeliang's lips twitched, and he said, "Why don't you just give me Zuo Ke's ID card!"

Maddie's thinking seemed to gradually catch up with the other person's thoughts. He suddenly slapped the back of his head and said, "So that means there's a monster inside that can modify life forms at will? An evil necromancer?"

Faust clapped his hands, shook his head, and said, "Necromancers can only play with corpses, fusing them together to turn them into a bunch of mindless puppets. At least this one has created an unimaginable life form while maintaining the other's independent thinking. If I could, I would really like to send it to the dissection room of our Frankenstein Alliance for dissection and research."

Bai Ge shook his head, expressing his disdain for Faust's idea, "...I'm different. I don't even know whether to braise or steam such a big cockroach."

Hey, can you guys please discuss topics that normal people should discuss?

Sure enough, these guys are all incomprehensible lunatics. Anyone else would want to stay as far away from them as possible. What kind of crazy person would go and provoke this monster?

"Now we can only find out what happened by taking the elevator to the underground world."

Everyone's gaze turned toward the elevator at the end of the corridor, even though it was a world that seemed to have become a bloody mess. The ground, walls, and ceiling were all covered in gruesome blood and flesh, as if someone had splashed red paint on it, a truly shocking sight.

"Let's go."

Faust snapped his fingers, clearing a small patch of blood on the ground. He fanned himself lightly in front of his nose, frowned, and said, "Disgusting."

The elevator began to slowly descend to the ground floor.

If what we just experienced was merely an appetizer, then what we are about to witness is the real nightmare.

These chunks of meat are generally bright red, covered with a thin layer of white fascia, inside which are distributed fine blood vessels.

Moreover, it was covered with many large and sturdy objects that looked like egg cases.

Dispelling the stench of blood from the air, Faust calmly analyzed, "It looks like it's been corrupted by some kind of monster?"

They hadn't gone far when they saw a victim lying face down in the hallway. They approached him. Suddenly, the unconscious man on the floor raised his head, his face filled with terror, and said, "Don't go over there! Run! Supervisor! The supervisor has turned into a monster! He's now..."

Suddenly, he let out a painful roar. His white coat was quickly stained red with blood, and he could clearly feel something writhing inside, trying to break out of his chest cavity.

Anan, who was usually silent, suddenly changed his expression. "Could it be that these underground facilities are also harboring aliens?"

With a final, abrupt scream, a grotesque monster emerged from the abdomen, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

Maddie asked in surprise, "What kind of monster is this? Is it the alien you were talking about?"

Bai Ge cautiously took a few steps forward, carefully examining the little monster that was shaking its head. After a moment of contemplation, he turned his head and said, "Based on my observation and years of experience, I feel that this looks like a... cockroach?"

Chapter 240 The real culprit finally appears

They were just a group of American cockroaches, yet they seemed to have evolved a reproductive method similar to that of aliens, and a hunting method that used trap organs. This was no longer something caused by black magic or some kind of radiation mutation; it seemed more like a more advanced form of modification involving mysticism.

Suddenly, the egg cases on the wall made a cracking sound. The sturdy egg cases split open, and little monsters covered in slime crawled out, shaking their heads and opening their sharp mouthparts. Without saying a word, Bai Ge rushed out, took out a strange jar from his inventory, grabbed their little heads, aimed it at their mouthparts, and sprayed them with it, saying softly as he did so, "Good boy, eat your fill so you'll have the strength to hatch."

This scene sent chills down the spines of the others. Faust stepped forward and shouted at them to stop, "Stop! What kind of monster are you feeding them?"

Bai Ge shook the bottle in his hand and said, "Hmm? It's insecticide."

Faust's panicked expression instantly returned to calm; after thinking about it, it seemed this was Bai Ge's normal procedure.

"Oh, that's all."

Faust snapped his fingers, and the cockroach that burst from his chest was instantly shredded. After dealing with everything, they passed through the deathly silent corridor and arrived at the real nightmare.

"My God..."

The sight of countless silkworm cocoons hanging from the ceiling caused a nausea and vomiting. Several ordinary people with weaker mental fortitude began to squat down and bend over to vomit, almost bringing up all their bile.

Even seasoned players can't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

"I never imagined such a scenario."

Faust frowned. "According to the plot, their underground facilities should be a mess by now, not as orderly as they are. These monsters have been weakened by some more powerful force."

His gaze fell on the upside-down, translucent red cocoon, inside which was a giant python covered in twisted parasites, struggling incessantly within the enormous pupa. Something seemed to be being continuously drawn from the python's body through the pale red liquid, traveling along the suspended silk threads to a certain location in the underground facility.

The blood vessels on the wall were pulsating rhythmically. Everyone felt as if they were in the most insane and chaotic nightmare of the Creator. The living people and monsters inside the cocoon were covered with terrifying parasites crawling out of their flesh, like patients on hospital beds with IV drips.

The enormous flesh and blood vessels writhed, slowly and steadily injecting the nutrients they absorbed into the blood vessels, and then into the body along with the rhythmic pulsation.

At that moment, they even had the illusion that they had entered the world of Bloodborne.

"I've heard that boys like girls who have long legs, big eyes, smooth and delicate skin, are knowledgeable, and are clingy."

Bai Ge pointed to one of the monsters that looked like a mutant octopus, patted Ma Di on the shoulder, and asked curiously, "Is this kind of octopus the kind of object of affection for ordinary guys like you?"

Maddie cowered to the side, scratched his nose, and said, "Well... actually, people like us with normal psychologies don't really understand what you guys with your Fury fandom are all about."

Just then, Faust saw a chair wrapped inside a cocoon. He instantly realized what was happening and used an ice explosion spell to cut the chair off.

With a snap, the wrapped thread broke, the chair fell to the ground, the membrane ruptured, and the pale red liquid inside splattered all over the floor.

What is this?

Faust walked forward expressionlessly, straightened the chair that had fallen to the ground, and sat down without even noticing the sticky liquid on it.

He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a man-headed, goat-bodied monster with nails being filed appeared before him. He glanced at Faust, blew a soft breath, and said, "You're too late."

"..."

Faust gazed at the other man, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "These are all your masterpieces, aren't they?"

How can you say that?
