Chapter 993: Mission Completed

Huh?!

Zhang Tie?!

Watching Zhang Tie approach with a strange step, Second Will and Lin An simultaneously turned their attention.

It was as if he had entered an uninhabited land.

Xiong Hanzi, who always maintained the stance of a spearman, charged with lightning steps into the battlefield's center; then, with his right hand raised high, the reagent, as he exerted force with his right hand, precisely smashed toward the heads of a large number of revived bodies.

No one blocked him, and there was no reaction.

Whether it was the revived-body Lin An or the death spirit lord fighting fiercely in the air, both sides seemed unable to see him.

Thud-

A faint cracking sound rang out.

Moments later, the reagent flung into midair suddenly shattered, and the light-blue medicine mist within it instantly diffused upon exploding.

Specks of glowing mist, like some kind of biochemical poison gas, enveloped the battlefield.

What is this?!

He was slightly taken aback.

Before Lin An could try to contact Zhang Tie, Xiong Hanzi, having thrown the reagent, stiff-footedly passed beneath them and raced straight for the astronaut model.

What does this mean? What did he throw?

Trapped among the aberrant mutants, sensing the mist, Lin An inexplicably felt a familiar sensation.

One second later.

The revived bodies shrouded in the mist showed no abnormal reaction; they continued to tirelessly charge toward both lords.

But just then, an anomaly occurred.

All that could be seen was that the revived bodies, covered in the liquid, now seemed as if they had been sprayed with a tasty seasoning.

As soon as they approached the death spirit lord formed from the ghost infant, they were instantly tossed into its mouth.

Crack!

Crack!

Chewing and swallowing.

As if under some strong attraction, the death spirit lord that had been entangled with Mo Ling completely abandoned its desire to fight and instead oddly turned its body back.

Its hunched body.

Its huge hands, like a scavenger's, scooped up the revived bodies one after another and threw them into its mouth.

Bones were crushed to bits.

The revived bodies thrown into its mouth, under massive chewing, burst like tomatoes, dark-red blood exploding like juice within its mouth.

One, two... three.

The rapid eating sounds instantly echoed across the entire battlefield.

Moreover, the revived bodies thrown into its mouth did not know to dodge; they simply foolishly followed their previous orders, like feeding, rushing to her side.

Watching this bizarre scene before him, Lin An couldn't help but his pupils constrict slightly.

What did Zhang Tie do?!

This is going to...?!

In just a little over a second, the battle situation instantly shifted.

The ghost infant, lured by the tastiness, completely lost its will to fight, merely incessantly devouring the revived bodies.

When she got into eating, she simply squatted on the ground; the giant face formed of deathly aura resembled a bottomless abyss, devouring everything.

No matter how the aberrant mutants and Mo Ling attacked, the ghost infant in its feeding state remained utterly motionless.

At the same time, in Lin An's perception, the aura of the monarch formed from the ghost infant began to oddly rise.

As if triggering a chain reaction.

The meme transmission, originally split into two parts, now also diverged again as the ghost infant strengthened.

That mysterious meme, like the strings of a puppet, now gave the feeling of abandoning control over Mo Ling and instead fully controlling the ghost infant.

Just as Lin An frantically asked Zhang Tie what was going on, a message with a tone eerily similar to Chu An's came from Xiong Hanzi:

"After the ghost infant dies, use the Causal Sequence to reverse Mo Ling and oneself, then let Mo Ling eat the ghost infant."

Amoeba Worm instance.

Before the operating table, Klein watched with interest as Chu An plunged the syringe into the ghost infant's body:

"You intend to let Mo Ling eat the ghost infant?"

"Aren't you afraid of bursting her?"

Expressionless, after injecting the light-blue liquid into the headless infant's body, Chu An calmly replied without turning back:

"Even if she bursts, it won't be wasted."

"Lin An can also eat her."

Hearing Chu An's reply, Klein's expression stalled, and his face couldn't help but twitch.

This guy...

He's really quite perverted..

Instinctively, Klein slightly distanced himself from Chu An, his gaze returning to the Amoeba Worm extract:

"Well, in terms of perversion, you're the one."

"If I'm not mistaken, you intend to... turn the ghost infant's true form into an Amoeba Worm here, then lure the death spirit lord formed from the ghost infant to eat the Amoeba Worm? That way, the death spirit lord over there would also become part of the Amoeba Worm."

The wording is somewhat convoluted, but the fact is indeed just as convoluted.

"That's right."

Chu An calmly nodded, his eyes fixed on the ghost infant that began to twist.

Seeing that he had guessed Chu An's thought correctly, Klein's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, as if in an experiment discussion, he rubbed his chin.

But what's the meaning of you doing this?

Are you planning to kill the ghost infant here, then use a chain reaction to kill the necromancer lord over there? Because they share the amoeba worm's trait?

But the distance is too great, right... Our here and your world are separated by a plane.

In his words, Klein couldn't help but doubt.

According to his research, after injecting the amoeba worm, the worms indeed establish a long-distance connection between them.

Just like the 700 million "zombies" that previously strengthened in sync, when individuals grow stronger, the group also strengthens.

Conversely, if individuals collapse, the group also collapses.

From the time Zhang Tie solved the amoeba worm with his death, Chu An has used this method before.

But... wanting to produce this effect across a plane, he never thought of it.

If described by distance, the distance between here and Earth is probably billions of billions of light-years away, fundamentally not even on the same dimension.

Can killing the amoeba worm-infected ghost infant here really kill the ghost infant on Earth?

Still not turning back, Chu An's eyes flickered as he silently observed the ghost infant; as if catching some detail, he decisively injected another needle of solution into the ghost infant's body.

He lightly lifted his glasses frame, responding indifferently:

Under quantum entanglement, distance does not exist.

Even if the amoeba worm can't do it, the ghost infant itself possesses spatial properties, so it can achieve this.

As his words fell, the ghost infant on the operating table instantly froze.

One second later, it rapidly turned into a pool of blood water resembling dissolution by sulfuric acid.

Aerospace City.

The screen synchronized.

Just as Lin An finished reading Zhang Tie's message, the ghost infant, whose aura had been wildly rising, instantly froze.

The giant hand that kept scooping up the revived bodies, like frozen, stiffened in place.

The next second, accompanied by painful howls, it rapidly melted away.

Streams of pure death qi spewed out violently like from a punctured balloon.

What pure deathly power!

Lin An's heart jolted.

The meme power that had been controlling the ghost infant also seemed to suffer a heavy blow; the constantly pulling meme power gradually ceased for a while.

Having no time to think further, seeing the ghost infant suddenly drop dead before his eyes, Lin An suddenly felt as if he realized something.

Reverse, absorb, devour!?

This situation, likely Chu An made a move.

Although he didn't know the principle, recalling the last words, he unhesitatingly took out the Causal Sequence and directly activated reversal on himself and Mo Ling.

Now!

Silver temporal power swiftly covered both of them like flowing water; in the blink of an eye, as spiritual power rapidly depleted, Lin An unexpectedly discovered that he had actually broken free of the aberrant state.

And Mo Ling, having broken free of meme control, further shrank in midair back to its original tiny form.

Under the reversal effect, the whole person became like transparent, slowly landing.

Taking a deep breath, enduring the massive consumption of reversal, Lin An almost used his last strength to directly toss Mo Ling's tiny body into the exploding deathly force.

In an instant.

Vitality nearly faded; Mo Ling, reversed back to a half-dead, half-alive state, was like a magnet, frantically absorbing the scattered deathly qi.

Its originally tiny body began to grow.

In the pit, Zhang Tie, with a dazed expression, held a palm-sized astronaut figurine, stunned in place.

On the not-large figurine, dense cracks covered the surface.

Looking around at the utter ruin, and the vanished dead necromancer lord.

He unconsciously scratched his head, his whole body shuddering.

Holy shit...

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing!!

Looking up all around, Xiong Hanzi saw a sudden meme acquisition prompt on his system panel, feeling only a sense of bewilderment.

This thing is that meme!?

After a while, he seemed to think of something, and anxiously shouted:

Captain Lin! Where are you?

Inside the spirit-powered fighter, the nearly exhausted Lin An leaned back in his seat, his eyes fixed on the dazed Zhang Tie:

Chu An, I need an explanation.

I know you can hear me.

Just as his words fell, arms wrapped around Lin An's neck, Mo Ling, lying on him in sleep, slightly dissatisfied, gently twisted its body.

Just that originally tiny body has now grown a bit.

Seeing his solemn face, obviously suppressing himself, Captain Lin, Zhang Tie stared with his mouth open, feeling his brain like a paste.

Huh?

After a moment, a voice uniquely Chu An's came from his mouth:

I know you're angry, Lin An.

I will give you an explanation.

Hearing the words that jumped out of his own mouth, Xiong Hanzi was as if he had seen a ghost alive, and he suddenly covered his mouth.

Holy shit!

Chu Da pervert, you motherfucker, what the fuck are you doing in my mouth?!
