People are on the Ark, assisting Oma Zi-O

As he spoke, Xi took out something that made Amiya, Nian and the others' pupils shrink.

The dark golden watch head has the ferocious head of the beast, and its distorted shape symbolizes its abnormal origin.

"That's... an alien watch head."

Amiya stared blankly at what Xi was holding.

"Come and see my sister, that is, our history."

"Yi!"

A majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a surge of purple, black, and dark gold flowed from the watch head into Xi's body.

“Aaaaaaaaa!”

A sharp and strange roar roared out from Xi's mouth. When everything disappeared, a gray-white monster with huge and ferocious horns appeared in front of Nian.

The gray shadow dragged an afterimage, and when it reappeared, it was in front of Nian, strangling her neck and groaning muffledly.

"Now, let us become one, Sister."

Chapter 6 New Year's Eve, Little New Year

"Miss Nian!"

Amiya, who was trapped in the plot of land, watched as Xi, who had transformed into a strange form of the year, pinched Nian's neck and exuded a dark gold aura mixed with deep purple, which looked very ominous, and she shouted anxiously.

In her anxiety, Amiya's perception seemed to be infinitely heightened. The green land in front of her suddenly turned into chaos. There was no light in front and no darkness behind, as if everything around her had been swallowed up by the chaos in front of her.

But Amiya could sense something within this chaos: bondage, a bondage from something profoundly mysterious. Her progress was the cause, her arrival the result, and this bondage was the mysterious chaos that prevented her from ever reaching that result!

I can break it!

There was a golden light flashing in Amiya's eyes, and the great power in her body began to become extremely aggressive. It seemed that the chaos in front of her and the aliens in the distance could be easily torn apart and killed as long as she wanted!

So……

The pink eyepiece faintly flashed with golden light, but just as the light was about to flash out, the ethereal sound like a drop of water falling into a pond suddenly rang out.

"Let's disperse."

With just a few words, the strange fabric wrapped around Jingzhe and Taihe, as well as the blockade that trapped Amiya, Tallulah, and Chen Huijie, all turned into smoke and dissipated. Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman in white lying leisurely on a street lamp, supporting her head with her hands. She was holding a wine gourd in her hand and pouring wine from top to bottom into the thin red sandalwood mouth.

The clear wine reflected the sunlight, and the sky-blue hair was slightly messy and hung in the air. The woman leaned against the lamppost as if in a dream, with a hazy look in her eyes, looking down at the world as if she was still half asleep and half awake.

"Sister Ling!"

The boy who had broken free from the fabric was about to resist but was once again tied up tightly by the cloth with scales on it that was stretched out from behind Xi.

"What a marvelous sight! I never thought I'd see Xi suppress Xiaonian one day. If I told my fourth sister about this, she'd probably be shocked for a while."

Ling turned over lazily, and the wine jug in her hand disappeared without a trace. She looked at the hideous 'Xi', and the haziness in her eyes finally turned into clarity.

"But I really don't like the way you look now, Xi. The horns on your face look too ugly. Not as pretty as you used to be."

The fabric wrapped around Nian, and Xi watched Ling laugh with a harsh, crackling sound.

"Sister Ling, I didn't expect you to come too. That's great! Now we have one more member to join our family reunion. We can return to Youyi soon."

He nodded slightly, causing his long tail to curl slightly behind him.

"As expected, Xiaoxi, your current state is totally wrong."

He rolled over and landed on the ground. An octagonal palace lantern with dragon pattern appeared in his hand at some point, flashing with ink. It condensed into a bullet and turned into ink rain that sprinkled towards Xi.

The power of dark gold spread out into a shield and pushed forward in all directions. The asphalt was overturned, the curbs were blown away, and the black rain in the sky was also blocked.

"Sister, are you unwilling to unite with me? I don't understand. Family reunion is such a wonderful thing, why are you so resistant?"

"Your child, do you have any misunderstandings about reunion?"

Wrapped in the cloth, feeling the strength in his body beginning to drain away, he spoke with difficulty.

"Don't worry, sister. In this case, I will accept you first, and we can discuss your situation later."

"Wait, don't, don't do that to her!"

Nian suddenly let out a scream, but Ling did not react at all. He even used his stick to stop Amiya and others behind him when they wanted to step forward.

"Miss Ling! Miss Nian!"

"Hush, don't worry, little rabbit. Xiaonian will be fine. He will just be weak for a while."

When Ling said this, he lowered his voice very low, and Xi and Nian didn't hear it at all. However, Nian looked at Ling's actions with a puzzled look on his face.

Sister Ling, why are you just watching?

Finally, when she felt that the last bit of strength was about to leave her, and even she herself was about to dissipate, and felt that she was about to return to the nothingness that scared her the most, a blue tail lashed towards her from a distance!

“When all things are in one word, there is a grand atmosphere.”

The power of these words, which were spoken lightly, easily broke through Xi's power and the strange fabric that wrapped around Nian, and then rolled up the extremely weak Nian and pulled him back to his side.

"Miss Nian!"

"Don't worry, just go."

Ling, Nian, including Amiya and Tallulah, Jingzhe and Taihe, all disappeared into the fading space amid Ling's casual words.

"Your sister is kind, but I have already remembered you."

Purple-black energy surged, and 'Xi' changed back to Xi's appearance, then disappeared into the ink on the ground with a smile.

......................................................

"Hoo!"

He fell to the ground and barely looked up. He saw the commander's office of Rhodes Island, which was also Ark's office. At this time, the old lynx woman was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking down at him.

"Um, doctor? I don't like people looking down at me like that. Huh? Weird, this feeling? Sister Ling, did you drag me into a strange dream? Why do things around me seem to have gotten so much bigger?"

He stood up, but still felt that Kal'tsit was looking down upon him.

It was strange. She should be much taller than Kal'tsit, so why did she still feel that this doctor was so much bigger than her even though she was standing up at this moment?

Wait, this familiar feeling, could it be...

It was only then that Nian finally realized something was wrong with his body, his feet...

“Huh? Huh!!!!”

White skin, round body, short and thick horns and red mane...

"Me! How did I become like this again!?"

Nian Paopao cried out in shock as he looked at his round belly.

And it's different. Last time, I should have had at least half of my strength left in my body. Now, not even half is left. Only...

Nian tried to mobilize her own strength, representing the power of "form", which manifested in the form of forging in her hands. However, this time, let alone producing metals to forge weapons and armor as before, she could only produce a small spark on her short and small hands with all her strength.

"That little spark can't even light a cigarette."

"Xiao Nian, stop arguing, stop arguing. Haha, I really miss you now."

At some point, Ling, Amiya and the other two stood behind Nian. A pair of hands wrapped in bandages and black cloth picked up Nian from the ground and poked Nian's puffy belly with their fingers as if with mischief.

Well, buibui, it feels exactly the same as before.

"Sister Ling!! Stop poking my stomach! Ahhh! What the hell is going on!"

Even Kal'tsit couldn't help but say that this was the second time in a short period of time that she had seen the agent of the Year Beast lose her composure like this. The last time was when Nian's power was absorbed by the Blank Control Watch because of Kal'sil, and she became like this now. But at that time, she was obviously not as panicked as she is now. Is it because the force absorbed this time is greater than the last time?

I guess so. Last time, after much negotiation, half of it was still left. Now, judging by the situation, I guess there is not even 10% left... no, not even 1% left.

At this time, Fang Zhou also walked out of the adjacent workroom connected to the office.

"Haha, thanks to the things Miss Ling brought, otherwise it would have taken another three or four days to analyze the power of 'Sui', but now it's done in one day."

"What, Doctor? Is that the new driving indicator in your hand?!"

Like a gust of wind, Amiya immediately came to Fang Zhou's side and looked at the dark golden watch in his hand with excitement flashing in her eyes.

New control table header, which means there are new armors to play with!

"That's right. This is the brand new driving dial that was refined by analyzing the things that Miss Ling sent over and the driving dial that was accidentally made during that time!"

Fang Zhou smiled and showed the driving watch head in his hand to everyone.

It was a very familiar one to them, with a dark gold exterior and the symbol of the Year Beast's head. However, compared to the hideous one they had seen that time, the one in Fang Zhou's hand looked more majestic and ancient.

"This is the driving watch head!"

Chapter 7: New Year's Eve, Painted Skin

Amidst the illusory mountains and rivers, Xi returned to this place again.

Looking at the mountains and rivers from afar, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. She pointed at the mountains and rivers with her slender white hand, and flaming smoke spiraled up like a natural disaster.

"shape."

A huge sword blade fell from the sky, carrying with it the power to destroy the world and falling straight towards the mountains and rivers below. Flames rose and the earth cracked.

The roar of the wind tore through the sky, and the howling of fire split the earth.

When everything fell into silence, the original mountains and rivers had disappeared, replaced by mountains split on both sides and a giant sword piercing the earth. Lava spread and flowed from the cracks in the ground, forming a fiery red river.

It originally looked like a picturesque landscape, but now it looks like hell.

'Xi' was obviously very satisfied with this power. This power, which was taken from Nian and belonged to one of the twelve agents of Sui, could make the alien history in his body more complete.

However, just after exerting the power of Nian, the ink around Xi suddenly became chaotic, like the wind and rain before the sky falls, disordered and crazy.

Finally, the ink scattered and turned into twelve ink portraits in the air. Half of one of them was burned, and only a gentle woman who was writing on a scroll could be vaguely seen.

'Xi' was half-kneeling on the ground weakly, with fear on his face.

"Oh my! I didn't expect this to happen. Taking back an agent's power actually disrupted the original balance?"

A soft and melodious voice sounded in the space.

The sound did not come from one direction, but from all directions.

It was as if a being from above was looking down at Xi.

"What do you want to do, you bastard from the Luqiao area? Do you want to use me to wake up that old coffin? Then you should go find a bad guy. He will probably obey you in everything."

Xi looked up at the sky, and her heart ached as she recalled what had just happened. Although she and Nian did not get along, they were sisters for thousands of years after all. Even if they didn't recognize each other in their hearts, such an act of directly hurting each other had never happened before.

But today...

She absorbed Nian's power with her own hands. Although her sister saved her in the end, she was probably not far from death.

The year will die.

When Xi thought of this result, she was filled with fear. She thought of her third sister, Jie, and the sister who had given names to all of them.

She also died, returned to Chaos, and returned to the old man's body.

Thinking of this, Xi became extremely frightened, because she knew that there would also be a day when she would lose herself and would no longer be herself. At this point, this fear had reached its peak because of the alien age that had appeared in her body and the year whose power had been plundered.

But Xi couldn't show any fear. She knew that facing the culprit who had turned her into this state, she must not show even the slightest bit of fear.

"You seem to have some misunderstanding about what I did, but it doesn't matter. None of this matters."

That gentle and soft voice still echoes between heaven and earth, and echoes in the twelve ink portraits.

Xi didn't know who the owner of this voice was, but if Amiya, Tallulah and others were here, they would probably recognize the owner of this voice instantly.

Theresa, or Precious.

"I'm just looking forward to seeing how many surprises you can bring me. Although it's an incomplete behemoth, the things you've brought with your abilities are barely able to condense into the 'you' of the past. With the help of your good second brother's abilities, we've finally completed the 'you' of today."

As Theresa said this, the ink-wash portraits floating in the air moved without wind, and each one depicted a side of the 12 representatives of the Year Beast.

Those were the old works that Xi had used to remember her former brothers and sisters. However, Xi was so proud that she would never let these works show up. Even Nian only knew that these paintings existed, but did not know where they were.

However, now these paintings have become the fuse that harms himself, which is probably something Xi could not have imagined.

"You naked bastard."

Xi's eyes flickered constantly, as if he was looking for something. Until the moment he finished speaking, the Eight Treasures Han Sword in his hand suddenly emitted flying ink stains, and those ink stains flying in the sky transformed into sharp flying knives and flew towards the 12 paintings.

However, it was obvious that Xi's move was also within Priss's calculations. When the flying knife was about to approach the ink paintings, the ink paintings naturally used their own countermeasures.
