Chapter 74

"Yue? Very well, from this day forth, you are the 'Moon Apostle'."

Meng Yi was noncommittal; he neither praised the Moon Apostle's little thoughts nor reprimanded her.

Whatever the former "Psionic Lifeform · Red Queen" was like, the current "Moon Apostle" would be the same.

He would give his creations space to exercise their subjective initiative, allowing their simulated minds to grow on their own rather than forcibly correcting their cognition.

In the "Evolution Paradise," "standardization" is worthless.

To Meng Yi, "homogenization" is also worthless.

If the "Moon Apostle" cannot give birth to "individual differentiation" distinct from "group homogenization," how is she any different from the ordinary cannon fodder sequence?

"Chairman, an abnormal situation has occurred!"

The materialized Little Red Queen glanced at the dazed Moon Apostle standing to the side and, looking slightly anxious, summoned the current observation footage.

It showed the southern region of Fusang turned into a sea of fire.

A beam of fire meteors was rapidly approaching the Honshu region, where the Infinite City headquarters was located.

"Calculations indicate the target will reach the airspace above Tokyo Prefecture in 7 minutes and 16 seconds!"

Meng Yi raised a hand to stop the Red Queen's report, his brows slightly furrowed in contemplation.

"It's that little vampire."

"Even Ryougi Shiki couldn't find the Infinite City headquarters, so it's even less likely for a little vampire with the intelligence of a single-celled organism."

"So, what is she trying to do?"

"Magic side... fire attribute..."

Meng Yi's expression was strange; he said with a wry smile, "Could it be that Flandre Scarlet wants to detonate Mount Fuji, trigger the volcanic belt, and flip the table to destroy the Fusang archipelago?"

"So be it. Moon Apostle, I am tied up with something; go test the mettle of that little vampire, and be sure to load the 'Life Force Field' defense for the entire duration."

The apostle girl, wearing moon-white exoskeleton armor, nodded her head slightly.

"Yes, Creator."

A spatial channel opened, and the Moon Apostle stepped inside to face the monster about to destroy a nation.

After the Moon Apostle left, the Little Red Queen blinked and asked uncertainly, "Chairman, can she do it?"

The aggressive Flandre has already reached the C+ level in terms of energy output, and it cannot be ruled out that she has even stronger methods.

"Probably?"

Meng Yi wasn't sure either; he created a data information sheet for the Moon Apostle, modeled after the "Evolution Paradise" digitized interface.

"Except for 'Micro-domain Interference' and 'Psionics,' there is no qualitative difference between her and me."

"Mobilizing the vast scale of the Infinite City, the outcome against Flandre Scarlet is hard to predict."

Meng Yi was not overly worried; even if 'Anti-Wa General · Little Flandre' could shatter a star in one blow, she couldn't hurt the Moon Apostle with the "100% Power · Life Force Field" activated.

The only variable that could tip the scales of victory is the little vampire's "Death Eye Destruction."

Meng Yi, who follows the path of caution, didn't want to risk himself; sending the Moon Apostle, whose basic stats were similar to his, to collect data on "Death Eye Destruction" was a good idea.

"Oh! Chairman, Ryougi Shiki is also heading toward Tokyo Prefecture!"

The Little Red Queen summoned another monitoring screen; Ryougi Shiki, having activated "Body of Death Curse," was moving at supersonic speeds. The red and white intertwined light looked like a scythe swung by the Grim Reaper, and everything in its path was extinguished.

"What kind of day is it today? A coincidence?"

Meng Yi shook his head with a dumbfounded laugh, "Red Queen, you go meet this 'old rival' and see if she has made any progress."

"The Demon Slayer Corps faction players have all arrived; we can't let the Demon faction's 'Player · Red Queen' and 'Player · Moon Apostle' disappoint them."

The Red Queen pointed at her cheek in surprise.

"Chairman, lacking the mobilization of a demon legion, I am not Ryougi Shiki's match as a non-combat apostle sequence."

Meng Yi remained as steady as an old dog and said unhurriedly, "There is an unused Apostle Unit 02 in the warehouse; you can make do with that for now."

"Really? Yay!"

The Little Red Queen exclaimed excitedly, dissipating her form to head to the -2 level warehouse in her psionic lifeform state to occupy the body of Apostle Unit 02 and begin operating the powerful apostle carrier.

"Not bad; from now on, this mech shall be called 'Blood Apostle'."

The Red Queen's subjective initiative was stronger; she had spent more time with Meng Yi and knew he wouldn't mind these trivial details.

Because she didn't like white hair, the Red Queen modified her cellular characteristics and dyed her white hair black.

She adjusted her 1.65-meter frame down to 1.6 meters.

She changed her curvaceous figure into a flat, steel-plate-like physique.

"Hehehehe, Ryougi Shiki, your opponent, Red Queen, has arrived~"

……

Meng Yi didn't stop her and let the Red Queen do as she pleased; he opened his arms and began to accommodate the Infinite City.

Qilin, the Demon Slayer Corps fodder, the remaining cannon fodder, and others—lifeforms that did not belong to the Infinite City—were tossed into the external Tokyo Prefecture area.

"The Infinite City is me, and I am the Infinite City."

Strands of spatial genetic veins operated at full power, and brilliant light illuminated the underground city.

The spatial structure collapsed and converged, and the fully expanded giant city transformed into the human-shaped Meng Yi.

Torture Ryougi Shiki and Flandre Scarlet?

Sorry, I really don't have the time.

In the selection dungeon, there was no choice but to rely on the internal circulation of the ecosystem and slowly pollute the ecosystem with Evolution True Blood.

This time, having the right to choose, Meng Yi was going to pull off a super big stunt.

He was going to use the "Positive · Planetary Field Framework" to leverage the planetary magnetic field of the planet beneath his feet.

He would build "Evolution True Blood" and "Complete Demon" into the grand framework of the planet's operation.

Artificially add a common extraordinary path within the planet, giving all living beings and spirits a chance to climb the path of evolution.

Major sects and factions hoarding their secrets?

Ridiculous!

He would fundamentally revolutionize the very foundation upon which the monopoly layer relied for survival!

【Notification: Player 'Bai Mo' Body Strength: C++ → B-!】

Meng Yi glanced at the "Evolution Paradise" notification; a super biological city collapsing into a human-shaped superposition state would certainly increase his body strength.

"The planetary magnetic field core, either the North or South Pole will do."

"Following the principle of proximity, I'll choose the Arctic glacier."

"Infinite City · Spacetime Fortress · Crystal Wall Layer" enveloped his body.

Under the night sky, a light wheel flickering with iridescent colors appeared behind Meng Yi, as if it had transformed into a sun in the night sky, its radiance illuminating half the planet.

"Ms. 'Heaven's Scourge,' the cooperation ends here; the initiative to end the dungeon is handed over to you."

"If you wish to watch a unique war, then wait patiently for a moment."

Meng Yi flicked his finger, and several demons acted as the medium to release the "100% Power · Life Force Field," with the loaded crystal wall layer protecting a few individuals like Qilin, the Demon Slayer Corps leader, and Muzan Kibutsuji.

Whether Qilin intended to kill Muzan Kibutsuji or the descendant of the Ubuyashiki clan, Kiriya Ubuyashiki, Meng Yi did not care.

The D-level World Origin Crystal + 5,000 Paradise Coins provided by the main quest weren't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

The "miracle" content of a D-level World Origin Crystal had no meaning to him now.

C-level had some value, but Meng Yi could fully realize the "miracles" of F, E, and D levels through his own technology.

……

Meng Yi locked onto the direction of the Arctic region through the planetary magnetic field.

The magnetic field simulated by his individual body propelled his frame, flying at the first cosmic velocity (7.9 km/s, 23 times the speed of sound).

Looking at the dazzling figure that looked like a god or a demon, gradually moving away.

Qilin, inside the "Life Force Field · Crystal Wall Layer," gave a bitter smile after a long time.

She remembered when they first met two and a half years ago; Meng Yi eating a forest had made her think he was a god among men.

Look at him now; the radiance Meng Yi emitted vied with the bright moon, making the surface of half the planet as bright as day.

"I haven't been standing still; I've become much stronger relying on the potions you gave me, and my comprehensive evaluation has increased from E to D."

"Spatial ability, D-level physique, endless lifespan—these are huge improvements for me, but for you, they were just things done with a wave of your hand."

Qilin murmured to herself, recalling Meng Yi's efforts over the past eight hundred days, and then thinking about her own actions.

"People better than me are working harder than me; you deserve to become stronger, you monster Bai Mo."

The spirited Qilin jokingly scolded him as a 'monster'; this was her heartfelt submission to Meng Yi.

Unknowingly, the woman's nails dug into her palms, and drops of crimson blood oozed out.

Qilin gritted her teeth and made a firm decision, thinking: 'Big Brother Bai Mo, I will become stronger! I will definitely become stronger! I don't want to be unable to even see your back the next time we meet.'

A seed of becoming stronger quietly sprouted.

In this 2v2 confrontation, the outcome was no longer important.

Flandre Scarlet abandoned reason, embraced wildness and instinct, and adapted to the rules of the "Evolution Paradise."

Ryougi Shiki relied on hatred, pain, and obsession to adapt to the rules of the "Evolution Paradise."

Qilin also underwent a transformation; this was not at the level of power or scale, but at the level of heart and will.

It wasn't that Qilin had any emotional impulses toward Meng Yi.

She regarded Meng Yi as a guiding light and a dazzling monument on her path forward.

Whenever she felt lost or wanted to give up, that light would wake her up, whispering in her ear: 'People stronger than you are working harder than you; do you deserve to stagnate?'

If Meng Yi knew Qilin's thoughts, he would likely praise her: 'Courage is commendable; I personally suggest you set a simple goal and proceed step by step, so as not to have your Dao heart shattered by being discouraged.'

……

Qilin sat in the safe 'audience area' waiting for the show to begin. Meng Yi headed to the Arctic magnetic field core to change the planetary order.

The rapidly flying Flandre Scarlet arrived at the Mount Fuji area on Honshu Island, Fusang.

"BOOM——!!!"

A flying star carrying scorching high temperatures crashed into the snow-capped mountain at an altitude of over 3,000 meters.

Snow melted, rocks flew, and twisting, unstable magical flames scorched and incinerated Mount Fuji.

The little vampire, holding the "Flame Demon Sword · Laevateinn," laughed wildly with a crazed expression.

"It's here! It's right here!!"

"Such rich fire elements; if I detonate this place, Flandre will definitely be able to go home!"

The stars and the bright moon in the sky were no match for Meng Yi's white light.

The mountains gradually melted due to Flandre's arrival; the accumulated snow vaporized before it could even form rivers, and giant rocks melted into liquid magma...

Water vapor rose, and the already thick sea of clouds was stained with red firelight, resembling the boundary line between heaven, clouds, sea, and man.

Looking down at the mountain, a few scattered human lights proved that the Fusang ethnic group was still struggling to survive.

The little vampire was about to tear open a B-level forbidden spell scroll when she suddenly noticed a girl with mechanical wings on her back and moon-white armor abruptly descend a few hundred meters away.

『"Combat Module — Loading"!』

『"Infinite City Authority — Connecting"!』

『"Body Operation — Normal"!』

『"Energy Operation — Normal"!』

『"Creator's Planetary Magnetic Field — Loading"!』

『"Creator's Life Force Field — Loading"!』

『"Analyzing Target Behavior Logic —"!』

Flandre opened her lips slightly and asked, "Big sister, are you a player from the opposing faction?"

"Flandre doesn't have time to play with big sister anymore; Flandre is going home!"

The blonde girl spread her palm, and the Moon Apostle's tension limit condensed into a "Death Eye," which she then crushed with her fist.

"Big sister is stopping Flandre from going home; big sister is a big bad guy! Big bad guy, go die!"

The Moon Apostle's eyes flashed with data streams, her spatial teleportation ability activated, and her figure instantly vanished from the spot.

When she reappeared, she was already a kilometer away.

『Judgment: "100% Power · Life Force Field" can withstand "Death Eye Destruction"; Energy consumption: 0.75%; Data uploaded to "Infinite City · Big Database".』

『Electromagnetic Field Activated!』

『Creator's Lightning-type Ability Loaded!』

『Final Judgment Result: Potentially highly dangerous lifeform.』

The crisp, pleasant voice carried no emotional fluctuation, a stark contrast to when she faced Meng Yi.

The human body's magnetic field leveraged the external magnetic field, and dense lightning arcs clung to the Moon Apostle's moon-white armor.

The sea of clouds formed by water vapor turned black, and streaks of roaring lightning dragons twisted their bodies.

" 'Railgun', dense volley!"

The Moon Apostle, hidden in the sea of lightning, vibrated her wings, and the scattered pure white feathers condensed into projectiles, with the massive magnetic field covering the airspace above Mount Fuji acting as the launcher.

Hundreds of "Railguns" fired, carrying the momentum of lightning dragons as they attacked Flandre from all directions.

"Magic · Multiple Refraction!!"

Facing the incoming super-strong single-point destruction skill, the little vampire didn't dare to be careless.

The mana in her body was consumed rapidly, and layers of magic deflection barriers were generated at high speed.

The "Railgun" cluster collided with the magic force field, and Flandre was blasted left and right.

"Big bad guy! You kept Flandre from going home for two and a half years! Flandre will fight you to the death!"

Flandre tore up the "B-level Forbidden Spell Scroll: Blow it to Hell!", target locked: Mount Fuji volcanic belt!
