Chapter 67: You Will Eventually Be Mine

"... A new... embryo... so fortunate..." A vague consciousness emerged from the mist, speaking a new language unknown to humanity; if Yang Yi had still been lucid, she might have understood what it was saying.

But at this moment, she was completely immersed in the illusions it created.

The voice was excited as never before, as if it saw itself about to dominate a new world.

"... An undiscovered, new—Evil God embryo... can serve as a host... truly so fortunate... in this desolate world..."

The mist surged, constantly expanding and contracting, like a heart beating frantically in excitement.

"... Just right... the weak creatures here are too boring; no matter how much they merge or reproduce, it is merely an accumulation of countless weaklings... But, if I use her as a host... I will merge and reproduce the most powerful... I will become the greatest existence of my kind, I will achieve the 'Desire Mother Goddess'..."

Seemingly invigorated by the beautiful future scene displayed before it, this eerie mist from another realm surged violently, spreading the viscous fog across the entire city.

Countless people, in their sleep, were infiltrated by invisible slime within the mist; their limbs began to twist eerily.

"Come... my lambs, it is time to offer your lives to your master... Use your lives as nourishment, use this new Evil God embryo as a host, to nurture and reproduce your great lord..."

"On the day I am reborn, this world will groan beneath my feet... it may even stand alongside the few supreme existences within this world... Hahaha..."

Amidst its manic laughter, the mist trembled wildly; the entire sky was covered by thick fog, and this fog continued to extend endlessly toward the Lu City, Ning City, Guang City, and other cities.

"Desire Mother Goddess? What is that?" A indifferent voice suddenly asked.

"That is the ultimate form of our Reproduction Race, the ultimate goal of every clan of ours..." it answered excitedly.

But immediately, the atmosphere froze.

A figure slowly emerged from the mist; at this moment, this figure had almost lost the image of a human.

She originally wore a white shirt and black suit pants; on her slender body beneath the white shirt, layers of deformed protrusions bulged out, stretching the originally loose shirt tight, especially her abdomen, which had swollen like a six-month pregnancy.

And her originally straight legs were now twisted in a posture impossible for human limbs to achieve.

And her face could no longer be recognized as a human face.

"So, this is your purpose? Your original plan was to merge the lives of the entire city... but after seeing me, you prepared to use the lives of all humans in the city as nourishment, and my body as a host, to give birth to the ultimate form of your Reproduction Race—the Desire Mother Goddess?"

Her mouth was located in a strange position on her head; she tried to speak with her mouth but found she could no longer produce sound—also, with all organs displaced, being able to breathe was already a miracle; she couldn't think of anything more.

Thus, the spirit within her sea of consciousness resonated with the frequency of this Reproduction Race member to achieve the purpose of communication.

"What a strange way of reproducing..." Yang Yi's expression was somewhat strange—if one could still discern expression on her deformed head—"With human thinking, no matter how smart, one cannot figure out what you aliens want to do... If all future strange creatures are like this... how can they be resolved..."

She raised her bumpy right hand and touched the position of her chin—now there was an ear.

"When did you wake up?" It was initially surprised but not panicked; the invisible mist churned, approaching her body.

"When you were about to take more excessive actions." Yang Yi was even relieved that her face had moved to another place at this moment, so she wouldn't be ashamed enough to turn bright red.

"Since you are awake, that is good too—you can witness with your own eyes how I achieve the divine position—Oh heavens, thinking that an embryo of an Evil God is my audience, watching with its own eyes me becoming the host of its birth, I am so excited..." As it spoke, the entire mist began to tremble excitedly.

"What Evil God embryo?" Yang Yi asked quickly.

"Oh, this poor little thing, still doesn't know its own identity... But don't worry, dear, you will become the breeding ground for my birth—no, no, you will become part of me, you will achieve the divine position together with me, we will never be separated for eternity. At that time, you will understand everything..."

While speaking, the fog across the entire city surged together; countless people woke from their dreams, discovering their bodies were writhing and twisting uncontrollably.

"Sigh... why do these things always like to leave half their words unsaid..." Yang Yi's tone was infinitely melancholy.

Immediately, centered on her form, invisible telekinetic force exploded outward, like a drop of ink dropped into water, quickly dissolving within the mist.

The invisible slime hidden in the mist, stained by this ink, suddenly went numb. The slime writhed desperately a few times, then was immediately destroyed by another, more powerful and dominant force.

"You cannot stop me; you have already been invaded by me!" It laughed madly.

The part of it inside Yang Yi suddenly accelerated its writhing.

Yang Yi's deformed body began to change again; her arms retracted into her body, her legs merged into her torso; the slime within her tore at her, merged with her, rolled her into a strange spherical object, and nurtured new life within her abdomen—a strange, evil power, like a seed, grew rapidly from her abdomen.

But the telekinetic force emanating from Yang Yi did not stop; instead, it spread across the entire city even faster.

In the fog city, countless people were watching in terror as their bodies were twisted by eerie power; just at this moment, that twisting suddenly stopped abruptly.

"Is this all you have?" Yang Yi's mental frequency echoed in its ears; it heard mockery amidst the threadlike groans of pain, "... Is this all the pain? It's not enough... I need more pain—pain that proves I am still alive..."

"Is that so? Then let's try!"

Although it said this, its tone was panicked for the first time.

It withdrew most of its body; since it could no longer draw nourishment from ordinary humans under Yang Yi's telekinetic control, it might as well inject its entire body into Yang Yi, as there was still a chance to achieve its ultimate goal.

Thus, on this extraordinary night in the fog city, countless sleepless people saw from their windows that the sky, usually shrouded in clouds and mist, had the fog visibly dissipating.

A bright moon appeared in the night sky, but more dazzling than the moon was a deformed monster in the sky.

This monster was indescribable; some organs on its body seemed somewhat human, yet could not be linked to humans.

The mist swirling above the fog city was all absorbed by this monster; it was like a fan of immense power, sucking in all the clumps of mist around it.

Its size grew larger and larger, until it almost expanded enough to block out the moon.

Its skin had stretched to transparency; faintly, a writhing shadow within its abdomen could be seen expanding rapidly.

Just as people suspected that in the next second its expanded body would explode, suddenly, its form twisted; in an instant, a vortex-like shape flashed into existence at the original spot.

This vortex appeared for only a few tenths of a microsecond, but in this split second too short to do anything, people seemed to instantly fall into an abyss—although this feeling was so short it could be ignored, merely a momentary lapse.

In this momentary lapse, all the people in the city fell into a deep sleep in a daze; at the same time they fell into dreamland, their deformed bodies slowly returned to their original state.

At the moment all the slime was injected into her body, Yang Yi activated "Hunger".

Her form became a vortex, slowly rotating and deforming, turning the true body of this visitor from another realm into refined life source.

Truly a grand feast!

She felt she could sustain herself for a very long time.

Moreover, while tasting this delicious feast, she also briefly gained its abilities—illusions, devouring, and merging.

She sank all the people in the city into dreamland, making them believe everything was just a dream, and restored their deformed bodies to normal.

But restoring her own body, which had become completely inhuman, still took her considerable effort. After all, this visitor from another realm of the Reproduction Race had only ever devoured and merged; it had never restored a prey before.

There were still many unsolved mysteries, such as the "Evil God embryo". So, she drew its spiritual body into her sea of consciousness once again.

"... Tell me, what is an 'Evil God embryo'!" Yang Yi looked at the semi-transparent slime trembling before the vortex.

"You... you are not the Evil God embryo..." It gazed at the vortex before it, which resembled a black hole, its thoughts seeming to become chaotic. "... I misjudged... please forgive me..."

"Then what am I? —Speak my name..." Yang Yi said coldly.

"You are... the Supreme... Xue..."

The moment it uttered a single syllable of that name, beyond countless layers of the vast universe, separated by hundreds of millions of light-years, a gaze seemed to fall upon this place from the unknown.

Within the Sea of Consciousness, the black hole vortex accelerated without warning, and before it could utter a second syllable, it easily rolled its soul body into a misty form, sucking it in thread by thread.

Yang Yi coldly watched her body twist into a vortex; just now, it had not been her moving, so it must have been the other one within her body.

"You have done a foolish thing..." It said, after a long absence.

"If I did not do a foolish thing, how could I force you out?" Yang Yi sneered.

It fell silent once more.

"You have lived in my body for so long, yet to this day you have failed to ascertain your identity; I have been a very negligent landlord... By the way, you haven't paid rent yet, have you?" Yang Yi said deliberately in a mocking tone.

"Do you think your mental power grew so powerful out of thin air?"

"Oh—was it you?" Yang Yi suddenly realized, but at the same time a surge of anger suddenly welled up in her heart: "It was you! You forced me onto this path; I could have lived a peaceful life..."

"From the moment you were born, it was destined that you could never live a normal life..." It said lightly.

"What is your purpose? Who exactly are you?"

"... You will eventually be me, and I will eventually be you..." It fell silent once again.
