Chapter 89: Strange Phenomenon in the Sky

He knows!

A thunderclap exploded in Yang Yi's mind.

What else does he know? Has he discovered something? Does he know about the tenuous connection between me and the Evil God?

Although Yang Yi strove to maintain a poker face, her eyes, the subtle changes on her face, and her breathing rhythm all betrayed everything. To a psychiatrist proficient in mental and psychological control, this was more honest than words.

"Oh~" Vider smiled slightly, "Your expression has already revealed everything."

Yang Yi said nothing, lowering her eyelashes to conceal her emotions as her telekinesis spread out infinitely.

Rather than engaging in a verbal battle with someone not even here, it was better to do something practical.

"So, are you now human, or some kind of—aberration?" Vider's smile was kind, yet his tone held an uncontrollable excitement. "Being completely invaded by the Reproductive Race yet retaining self-awareness and still recovering is too incredible! If it were not for God's favor towards you, if you were not God's favorite, if it were not for the dark matter bestowed by God that grants you abilities, then you would be a true and genuine aberration."

"Is your so-called God not also an aberration?" Yang Yi said coldly.

"God does not care about human blasphemy, just as humans do not care about an ant's provocation." Vider felt no anger at her sarcasm, remaining calm and composed.

After a pause, he adjusted his facial expression; the gentle smile faded, and his voice carried solemnity and chill: "Then, can you tell me, who was it in Mist City that day that spoke the Lord's name aloud, even if only a single syllable?"

The Lord's name... a single syllable...

A flash of lightning streaked through her brain, dredging up the memory of that day.

"Speak my name!" she remembered saying back then.

"Xue..." the Reproductive Race creature had spoken the first syllable.

Yang Yi froze completely; it was as if someone had drilled a hole in her brain and poured a bucket of water with ice chunks directly in. This ice water, carrying a chilling cold, soaked through her five viscera, blood vessels, bone marrow, flesh, and every pore.

She, Yang Yi—was she the Evil God revered by Vider? Was she the culprit behind the dark matter eroding Earth? Was she the mastermind behind the rampant alien creatures on Earth?

Yang Yi turned her stiff head in a daze; wherever she looked, there were mountains of people and seas of corpses. Her numb body suddenly shivered.

Was she the root cause of so many deaths?

"Yang Yi, although our ideologies differ—you vainly wish to save all humanity, while I believe this is unworkable; only by saving a part and abandoning a part can human civilization continue. But essentially we are the same; we share a common goal, which is to save humanity." Vider spoke calmly, seeming to possess unparalleled pride and arrogance in his cause, and he reasoned persuasively:

"But now we have a common enemy who dared to speak the Lord's name aloud! —This is great impiety; he will provoke the Lord's displeasure! Even if God merely fixes His gaze here, it will unleash a cosmic storm, causing countless worlds to fall like bird nests from trees. To use your Xia Kingdom phrase: when the nest is overturned, how can there be any intact eggs?"

Yang Yi did not hear what Vider was saying; her brain was like the chaos before heaven and earth opened, a complete mess, with various thoughts blocked like turbulent currents.

She is the Evil God? No, this is simply the most absurd thing in the world! She is Yang Yi!

She was born in Yang Town on the North China Plain; her father died early; she was abandoned by her mother at three; she graduated from Yang Town Primary School, then Town No. 2 Middle School, took the college entrance exam at City High School, graduated from Xicheng University, and worked in Haibei City. Before this, she was a small accountant earning a little over four thousand yuan a month. She had her own secret base. She loved the sea. She loved Chris—everything about her had a traceable path!

How could she possibly be some damn Evil God?

But at the same time, countless questions rushed at her—if she were not the Evil God, why did the life source sacrificed to the Evil God rush towards her voluntarily? Why could she not feed on humans, but only on the life sources of sentient beings? Why did every alien sentient race she encountered address her as "Supreme, My Unsurpassed..."? Why did the Reproductive Race call her "Xue"?

At this moment, she did not know where she was, did not know what she was doing, and did not know who she was...

No! No! How could a god be so weak?

In Vider's account, their god possessed vast supernatural powers; with a mere wave of His hand, countless worlds were destroyed. For small planets like Earth, He did not even deign to look at them! What was she?

Yang Yi's nerves, stretched to the limit, relaxed for an instant. A surge of intense joy welled up in her heart, nearly making her faint from excitement.

At this moment, her weakness saved her.

Seeming to find this thought brilliant, she immediately deepened it: Yes, if I were the Evil God, would I be treated by my uncle... and them in such a way? Would I, during my student days, dare not make friends or fall in love due to poverty and shabbiness? Would I be so weak and incompetent? Would I be so mediocre and cowardly?

Would a god do such things? Absolutely not! Therefore, I must not be some damn Evil God!

Suddenly, she felt her breathing clear, and even the two blood moons in the sky became pleasant to look at.

"... Although the Lord has not yet fully awakened, the holy day of His awakening is approaching..."

Vider's fragmented words reached her ears—not yet fully awakened...

A roar sounded in her brain, like a hostage who thought they had escaped being shot in the head by the kidnapper.

Yang Yi had been inside for one hour and twenty-eight minutes.

Xia Kingdom experts had just arrived and were busy installing various pieces of equipment not far from the giant hole.

"The dark matter fluctuations seem to have become calmer..." Wei Chang'an's voice came through the walkie-talkie.

It turned out that Chen Chen Yushu and Wei Chang'an had descended into the depths of the giant hole with detection equipment and wired walkie-talkies; Chen Chen Yushu was responsible for collecting various substances in the cave, while Wei Chang'an was responsible for using detection equipment to monitor various energy fluctuations in the cave.

This work was not being done only by the Xia Kingdom; other countries were doing it too.

"The detector shows... the spatial fluctuations here have also stopped!" Wei Chang'an reported again, his tone somewhat panicked.

Director Zhou made an immediate decision: "Retreat immediately!" With that, the automatic winch beside him began to operate, pulling the two men upward.

Detection personnel from other countries also detected these extraordinary results and retreated one after another.

Indeed, this decision was correct; as they rose, the giant hole seemed to tremble slightly, emitting a sound wave from its deepest depths that humans could not hear.

Subsequently, faint translucent lines began to slowly appear in the sky above the giant hole, as if someone were drawing in the air with an invisible pen.

These translucent lines grew brighter and brighter, extending continuously outward with the giant hole as the center, gradually covering the entire sky above the capital. Countless people walked out of their homes, from companies, and from various buildings, looking up at the strange phenomenon appearing in the sky.

If anyone could fly high above the sky, they would see the translucent lines connecting to each other, forming a circular structure, as if—a sacrificial altar.

Moreover, these lines continued to extend, as if to cover the entire United Kingdom...
