Chapter 77: More Like a Tumor than the Haze God’s Offspring
With Luxianbei’s awakening, the White Puppy regained her Spirit Energy replenishment.
In a series of cracking sounds of flesh and bones growing violently, her shriveled little body rapidly expanded, the sparse fur once again flourishing, and countless brilliant silver arcs of electricity jumped across her entire form.
The scales on her tail gleamed anew, and as her muscles twitched and bones stretched, they rubbed against each other, creating an array of dazzling silver sparks with a sharp sound that was grating to the ears.
The refreshing feeling of Spirit Energy filling her body made the White Puppy hum joyfully in her heart, “In this world, only the master is good. With a master, the repairs are like treasure.”
Following that, upon hearing Luxianbei’s command, she opened her mouth and swallowed half of the Haze God’s offspring.
A puppy with a master is different from a puppy without a master; it dares to eat anything because, if it makes itself ill, the master will provide.
“Bang——!”
Her jaw, resembling a terrifying bl**d basin, closed with a sound like a collapsing mountain, as her sharp long teeth pierced through flesh, emitting chaotic electric light that seemed ready to crush everything.
The next moment, with that large, fearsome head suddenly shaking.
The Haze God’s offspring, along with the mesh of bl**d and flesh connected to its body, flew out like a great tree being uprooted, crashing against the underground defense wall and spreading its viscous body, writhing violently, trying to reassemble itself.
At that moment, a figure of a fierce wolf flew in from afar, arriving in front of it, raising its massive head, taking a deep breath, and chaotic electric arcs gathered around its mouth and nose.
Then, with a rumbling roar, thick bolts of lightning fell, like an energy plasma cannon; wherever they passed, soil and stone disintegrated and turned to dust.
The recently formed body of the Haze God’s offspring convulsed violently under that terrifying breath, and a portion of its body was instantly charred.
————
At the same time.
As Luxianbei moved closer to Xuan Ying Luo Fu, she felt the changes within her own body.
This transformation was not merely a change in the attributes of Spirit Energy fluctuations due to switching from the Witch species core to the Mythological species core. It was more delicate, requiring more time to digest and master.
Though she did not fully understand what was happening, she could sense her Mythological species core, infused with the incomplete powers of the Emperor of Humanity, vibrating and making indistinct murmuring sounds.
That murmuring seemed like the voices of several ancient and benevolent kings, urging their young successor to go resolve the crisis and restore the old lands after witnessing the tragedy brought about by the Haze God’s offspring.
Accompanying the murmurs, the prior incomplete powers from Mrs. Wang Meili, though usable by her, felt more like receiving commands from Mrs. Wang Meili, assisting her. It seemed that this power finally recognized her to some extent, accepting her rule.
The commands flowed as smoothly as eating a Dove chocolate.
Spirit Energy surged from the Mythological species core, lessening the oppressive burning sensation and providing a grandeur instead.
This change, from external to internal, was not a weakening; rather, there was no longer a need to constantly display terrifying destructive power.
Strength represented elegance and amiability, and humility towards others has been a quality of Z Country people since ancient times.
Accompanying this qualitative change in Spirit Energy was an enhancement of the core’s innate abilities.
With a shift in her thoughts, a wave of heat swept out from her feet in all directions, leaving a mark on the ground with a diameter of several meters like the explosive palm imprint from before.
Following that, under her will, the circular imprint twisted and wriggled, instantly transforming into a diamond shape, then into a human shape, a Z shape, even into the shape of Bai Xiaohua!
Wasn’t this essentially a way to explode whoever she wanted within a certain range, unnoticed?
Great, the child loves it! Luxianbei thought.
Because of the influence of the incomplete Mythological species core, which could transform various Spirit Energies into her own regardless of origin, once the imprint was engaged, the residual Spirit Energy generated by destruction would instantly flow into her body.
Simply put, this was a vampiric halo with a burning effect.
Moreover, she vaguely sensed that this was not her limit; if she exerted herself fully, she could instantly turn the entire Changlekou subway station into charred wasteland devoid of life.
Although there was still a significant gap from the “endless red land” described in the powers, it had a certain flavor!
In addition, it seemed there were other changes difficult to notice in a short time, but she didn’t have time to study them.
The White Puppy could temporarily suppress the Haze God’s offspring, but it couldn’t last long.
The White Puppy’s formidable combat power mainly came from the Hundred-Armed Giant Power.
That strength, capable of wrestling against titans and gods, allowed Luxianbei the possibility of controlling it through Spirit Marks due to its incompleteness. However, if she wanted to use it for a long time, she couldn’t bear the intense consumption of Spirit Energy.
Moreover, the Haze God’s offspring, though just born, had already reached a preliminary Cataclysm Grade standard. Even if its front-line combat capability wasn’t strong, relying on the vigorous vitality brought by its “cancer-causing” powers, it would be hard to eradicate it in a short time.
Luxianbei briefly analyzed the current situation and concluded that her battle with the Haze God’s offspring was akin to a character with the thickest armor and vampiric skills facing off against a character with the longest health bar and fully restored life.
Both were strong tanks; neither could k*ll the other in a short time.
Her only advantage might be the power from her Mythological species core, symbolizing “drought,” which had a certain degree of suppression against the Haze God’s offspring’s “cancer-causing” abilities.
So, this was a battle of endurance; if she became too impatient, thinking she could win using the White Puppy’s explosive skills, it would likely backfire due to overwhelming Spirit Energy consumption.
In such moments, how she wished Little Haze hadn’t been unreliable and failed to notify the Siye Society in time! Luxianbei thought.
If the Siye Society’s support arrived before she successfully “scraped” the Haze God’s offspring to d*ath, that Mythological species core would probably have nothing to do with her anymore.
As Luxianbei grasped Xuan Ying Luo Fu, controlling Ling Tai Purification to cover her body anew in that instant, she snapped back from her brief contemplation and recalled the White Puppy, dashing forward, instinctively raising her hands to let Xuan Ying Luo Fu slice downward.
“Break time is over; the Disaster Teacher’s one-on-one small class is back in session!”
With the Spirit Energy empowered by the Mythological species core surging forth, glorious flames burst forth from Xuan Ying Luo Fu, and with Luxianbei’s arm pressing down, it cleaved through the incoming distorted limbs with unstoppable force.
“Poof!”
Stinking bl**d and plasma sprayed, as if a crimson curtain unfolded before Luxianbei. Taking advantage of this cover, five distorted limbs engulfed in tainted Spirit Energy whistled toward her.
A foul wind rushed against her face, and she could hear the sound of liquid surging by her ear.
Without much thought, Luxianbei jumped back a step, the fiery giant sword in her hand quickly slicing through the air, drawing exaggerated arcs while, with several muffled sounds, three distorted limbs broke apart, and the other two slammed into her body from either side.
“Clang! Clang!”
Two metallic ringing sounds like bells echoed.
Under the astonishing defense of Ling Tai Purification, the Haze God’s offspring’s attack seemed to do no harm; Luxianbei let out a breath of relief, wielding Xuan Ying Luo Fu to break free of the two limbs that resembled giant hands and advanced once more.
The next moment, she caught a strange scent in the air.
It was a mixture of smoke, car exhaust, garbage incineration, and other odors that caused intense discomfort in her respiratory system, making her involuntarily want to cough.
Is it smog? Luxianbei paused for a moment, then immediately felt something strange growing inside her, continuously absorbing her Spirit Energy and rapidly expanding.
A strong sense of weakness surged over her, as if she were suffering from a severe illness. Her vision blurred, and her limbs felt heavy.
The next moment, heat rolled out from her feet, quietly spreading, the air around twisting.
“Boom!”
With a faint explosive sound, the ground beneath her suddenly trembled, spreading a circle of scalding charred earth with a diameter of two to three meters, and then she gathered her spirits, stepping forward, swinging her fiery giant sword toward a mass of netted flesh.
bl**d and the torn flesh fell, and when they touched the scorched earth, they immediately produced a sizzling sound, like raw meat on a hot plate. Threads of Spirit Energy rose with the green smoke, attracted by the Witch species core, flowing into that petite body.
You can absorb my Spirit Energy; it doesn’t matter, as long as my replenishment is faster!
Thus, a pair of tender white feet stepped across the ground, stirring up a scorching gale that resounded like explosions.
The sticky bl**d and plasma covering the ground, scattered chunks of flesh and bone, and writhing distorted limbs… all crushed!
Wherever she passed, the twisted, morbid flesh ceased to exist, leaving only pale ash scattered with the wind, emitting a pungent burnt scent.
Then, having tasted the sweetness, Luxianbei suddenly realized something, pausing for a moment, a cunning glint flashing in her eyes, suddenly accelerating towards the Haze God’s offspring.
Then, under its astonished gaze, she suddenly withdrew Xuan Ying Luo Fu, opened her arms, wrapped around its neck, and coiled her legs around its waist.
The atmosphere turned suddenly ambiguous.
“The next lesson might be a bit cruel, but don’t hold it against me. After all, your mother told me that as long as you don’t behave, I can punish you at will,” Luxianbei whispered in the Haze God’s offspring’s ear. “Once you take the reward, you must do the work!”
“By the way, the reward is your Mythological species core, how do you feel about that?”
The Haze God’s offspring, “???”
————
“Huh? What the hell is this? Is it using a ploy? Is it that kind of tactic where in the middle of a fight, you suddenly kiss your opponent to disturb their mental state?”
Void could not help but mock as he witnessed the bizarre scene unfolding in the underground Changlekou subway station. However, following that, he stared in shock, his mouth agape as the half-eaten memory stick he was using as a snack dropped to the ground with a “thud.”
From a distance, he saw Luxianbei suddenly hug the Haze God’s offspring, her petite body enveloped in brilliant flames that continually exploded.
It was like igniting a firecracker with a hundred thousand blasts.
He had previously only known that Disaster liked to handle explosives, and even had explosive ignition characteristics as her innate skill, but he never expected that one day, Disaster would turn herself into an explosive.
In a series of explosions and fire, the Haze God’s offspring’s body was constantly breaking down, reforming, then breaking apart again, with lifeless pale dust continually scattering everywhere, and wisps of Spirit Energy constantly flowing into Luxianbei’s body, supporting her to continue fueling the explosions.
For the Haze God’s offspring, it was nothing short of a nightmare-like vicious cycle.
Watching this scene, Void momentarily felt dazed.
It was the first time he truly felt that he couldn’t learn this.
“Why do I feel like Disaster is more like a malignant tumor than that ghostly thing? Ugh, this is too strange!”
Just as Void lamented, a cold voice suddenly resonated in his mind through the built-in chat software.
“Are you there?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Have you gone to Shancheng?”
“Uh…” Void was momentarily speechless. After all, he had come to Shancheng with the Wordless Book to spectate. Now that he had been caught red-handed, he felt somewhat flustered.
“Let’s retreat.”
Upon hearing the brief words from the Wordless Book, Void was taken aback and weakly asked, “Why?”
“Reinforcements are on the way.”
Upon hearing this, Void instantly understood.
The personnel related to the event had arrived on-site; the crowd of spectators should be dispersing soon…
