Chapter 205: The Distress Signal of the Sirius Constellation

~17 min read 3,246 words

The black fog became heavier and heavier.

Wen Xishu suddenly took out a game controller. The complex structure of this game controller made Horn feel outrageous, appearing too complex.

He was seeing a controller with a number of buttons comparable to a keyboard for the first time.

Wen Xishu said:

"This thing will show people within range who can establish a link with you, and with it, you can control me."

Horn said:

"Do you think I can use it?"

Wen Xishu had also thought about controlling Horn himself. After all, controlling Zheng Zai, Zheng Zai was powerful enough to kill wildly in a pile of monsters.

Controlling Horn, maybe Horn could get rid of the wheelchair, or ride the wheelchair to kill wildly...

But clearly, facing the Sea of Sin giant beast, Horn was still not enough.

The defect of the controller was that the operability was too complex. But the advantage was that the stronger the person controlled, the higher the additional attributes granted.

Wen Xishu said:

"Try it. The appearance of the monster still needs a little time, there is still a long time before the twenty-four hours end, running away forever is not a way, currently it seems that the monster can indeed directly locate us, if possible, it is best to be able to kill the monster directly."

"Although throwing away Mia might be a way, we don't know why the Sea of Sin giant beast brainwashed Mia, Mia clearly realized... the existence of women."

"But now, this concept is disappearing from Mia's mind, maybe, the Sea of Sin giant beast doing this is some kind of means to reduce incongruity to a greater extent."

Horn was also a smart person, and immediately took the controller.

He felt Wen Xishu said it very correctly.

Why didn't the Sea of Sin giant beast kill Mia? Mia didn't even have any injuries.

Conversely, Judy, who didn't hate this world, almost died.

Horn immediately simulated a scene—Mia realized the existence of women, Mia hated this world.

But the Sea of Sin giant beast didn't kill Mia, but Judy, who didn't hate this world, was almost affected and died.

This meant that compared to killing Mia, the Sea of Sin giant beast was more eager to extract Mia's concept awakening.

Perhaps this could let the Sea of Sin giant beast better repair this world.

Repair a world without women. Make the matter of no women more reasonable.

So Mia couldn't die yet, or rather, it was best to let everyone who realized the existence of women live.

Of course, Horn knew that there was no evidence for this, it was just pure speculation.

But at this moment, Horn suddenly smiled; he had a feeling of mutual appreciation and tacit understanding with Wen Xishu.

He firmly believed in this speculation, firmly believed in his intuition.

Naturally, he also firmly believed in Wen Xishu.

"Since you handed this thing to me, then I naturally shouldn't fail your trust."

Actually, Wen Xishu and Horn couldn't talk about much trust... the friendship controller had to have friendship.

But at the moment, Wen Xishu could only choose Horn. When there was only one choice, the process of making a choice must absolutely not be twisted. This was Wen Xishu's idea.

The link was established.

At this moment, Wen Xishu felt some kind of power blessing.

He even felt... perhaps he didn't need to become a ghost groom.

Horn was testing every button.

At the same time, some behemoth was already floating in the sky, huge tentacles pierced the clouds, like God's punishment from heaven, accurately exploring towards Mia!

The brainwashing hadn't ended yet! The tentacles were still trying to compete for Mia, and at the same time, several tentacles followed and pierced the clouds.

These tentacles were coming for Wen Xishu and Horn.

Looking at the tentacles in the sky getting bigger and bigger, Wen Xishu knew very well that it was because the distance was getting closer.

And at this time, Wen Xishu's body was still doing all kinds of irregular movements.

Because Horn was still testing.

The tentacles were approaching at supersonic speed, the speed close to 460 meters per second.

Huge tentacles fell from the sky of tens of thousands of feet, Wen Xishu felt that if Horn didn't control the controller...

He would probably enter a countdown state, either be killed or be brainwashed.

He didn't know if the erased concept still existed after returning to the Bunker...

But he had a feeling that perhaps it wouldn't exist anymore.

Because this time was very special.

He recalled that he had the Scorpio Knife and the Dice of Inversion.

But why did the Dice of Inversion take effect this time, but the Scorpio Knife didn't?

Although the Scorpio Knife granted some information, it was very strange, without any prompts, Wen Xishu naturally forgot these items.

But not long after, Wen Xishu noticed it.

Sin Soil. This all might have something to do with Sin Soil.

According to the old man selling tea's words, he came from Sin Soil, and his memories of his previous life, if that world was called Sin Soil... then coming to the Bunker, his memories of Sin Soil were still there, which meant the Bunker wouldn't clear the memories of Sin Soil.

If this place was called Sin Soil Fragment—

Then would the Bunker not clear the concepts that disappeared in the Sin Soil Fragment?

The entire Bunker had no women, the entire Bunker only had half normal men, and half eye-stinging men...

That wasn't Sanji's hell in One Piece?

That would be better to die here.

So when the tentacle was only three thousand meters away from Wen Xishu, and there were only a few seconds left—

Wen Xishu was rarely a bit nervous.

But Horn was still bowing his head, fiddling with the controller, appearing quite serious, as if he had forgotten all this.

2000 meters.

Almost the last four-second countdown.

One thousand meters...

The details on the huge tentacles could already be seen clearly. But Wen Xishu had no time to appreciate it.

Because in just a breath, the huge tentacle was only seven hundred meters away from him.

Boom!!

The tentacles landed, and the ground was smashed into several deep pits by the impact of the tentacles.

But no human figure could be seen on the ground. Mia, Judy, and Horn were all accurately moved by Wen Xishu, deviating from the attack range and impact range of the tentacles.

When all this was done, Wen Xishu's figure landed lightly, feeling the magic of that moment in the sky-filling dust stirred up by the tentacles.

His body was controlled by huge power, although it was not acting according to his own will—

But Wen Xishu only felt that every movement was so precise, without extra distance, without extra movements, and even without extra breathing!

His whole person was in a state of extremely precise control.

Horn's voice said:

"Sorry, it took a bit long, but I think I'm already familiar with this controller."

The tentacles landed, stirring up dust, affecting the surroundings.

But in the last second, Horn's fingers moved instantly, accurately controlling Wen Xishu to avoid the attack, and carrying Mia and Judy, and himself to avoid the attack.

The huge deep pit was just a few centimeters away from Wen Xishu's feet.

Horn said:

"I'm going to start attacking, to make the tentacles feel threatened, I have to prioritize solving you. Only then can I control it well."

Wen Xishu's heart moved, the Scorpio Knife had already appeared in his hand, and the killer football appeared at his feet.

The huge tentacles of the Sea of Sin giant beast rose from the ground, causing the ground to tremble.

Those tentacles that pierced the ground were dancing wildly in the sky again, ready to launch an attack like a rainstorm at any time.

Not only those tentacles, Wen Xishu and Horn both saw many wriggling huge figures appearing above the darkness.

This meant that the number of tentacles was far more than they imagined.

If these tentacles were allowed to pierce towards the ground... it would be enough to completely destroy this area.

Wen Xishu said:

"I have already summoned my items, one item is extremely sharp, one item can shoot through the monster's body like a cannonball."

"Next, how to reasonably use me, it depends on you."

Wen Xishu was very assured of Horn, because Horn's process of adapting to the controller was faster than Wen Xishu's own adaptation process. And the precision of control was even above Wen Xishu's.

I have to say, Horn's talent made Wen Xishu marvel.

Horn was also equally amazed by Wen Xishu's ability.

The analysis and association ability was so strong, and he had terrifying skills, powerful items...

Such a person, actually had no fame on the Ark?

So much so that Horn was thinking, could it be that Wen Xishu didn't belong to the Ark?

The Ark was very large, like a huge sea city, it was normal for there to be people Horn didn't know.

But Horn felt that Wen Xishu's various performances should never be unknown.

Unless Wen Xishu—wasn't on the Ark at all. Then where did he come from? Could he go to where he was?

But at the moment, it was not the time to discuss this.

Horn's fingers turned rapidly.

"The opportunity shouldn't be much... we should solve this giant beast with the fastest efficiency."

Wen Xishu's figure also began to act. The Slaughter Tower panel attributes in the blessing of the controller gave Wen Xishu the strength of a first-class master.

Wen Xishu's physical strength also became incomparably abundant.

Activating the Extreme Kick again would have no burden at all—controlled by the controller, he was like opening a cheat.

Under the full power of the Extreme Kick, the speed of the killer football was not as fast as expected, even slower than usual.

But the ball was endowed with huge rotation.

The killer football went towards the high sky, and Wen Xishu's figure ran towards the killer football. Not long after, he actually ran in front of the killer football.

But the huge airflow from his back made Wen Xishu realize... the killer football's speed was slow, but the power was even more shocking.

This kind of strange shooting technique, Wen Xishu couldn't kick it out yet, but Horn kicked it out.

For a time, one person and one ball, one in front and one behind, like two heavy spears, stabbing towards the huge creature in the high sky!

The huge creature in the sky seemed to feel some kind of threat, and began to let those dancing tentacles try to intercept Wen Xishu.

But Wen Xishu, holding the Scorpio Knife, could actually swing out Qi blades!

At the beginning, Zheng Zai could send out Qi blades, and now Wen Xishu, who had stronger strength, and as the true owner of the controller, plus the help of the external Scorpio Knife—

The Qi blade swung by Wen Xishu contained absolute cutting power. The terrifying arc blade swung out, actually able to cut the huge tentacles flatly.

The giant pus-filled bubbles like tumors on the tentacles suddenly shattered like hatched eggs!

Countless small eight-legged monsters with mini tentacles crawled out from the shattered pus bubbles!

They were dense, rushing towards Wen Xishu like a group of spiders!

Although Wen Xishu's Qi blade was terrifying, he couldn't handle the sheer number of these eight-legged monsters.

But Horn seemed to have calculated it; at this time, Horn shouldn't have been able to see what was happening on the tentacles.

But his vision seemed to be shared with Wen Xishu.

So Horn saw countless eight-legged monsters rushing towards Wen Xishu.

Facing the eight-legged monsters that even the Qi blade couldn't kill, Horn controlled Wen Xishu to stop, lean forward, jump back and cut a knife, and Wen Xishu leaned forward

After Wen Xishu jumped backward... that killer soccer ball was like a nuclear bomb; the high-speed spinning killer soccer ball, upon touching the octopus monster, released Qi blades comparable to a storm.

Wen Xishu was shocked. What kind of maneuver was this?

This Huo En controlling him played much better than he himself did when controlling Zheng Zai.

Perhaps because he had no legs to use, Huo En's hands were more agile than Wen Xishu's.

Of course, the controller itself seems to be more powerful when controlling the true holder.

Wen Xishu marveled at this combo move of man and ball advancing together, and man retreating while the ball kills.

Countless octopus monsters were killed by the killer soccer ball.

At this moment, Wen Xishu had already arrived at an altitude of ten thousand meters, where the oxygen was thin.

His sprinting speed was almost on par with the tentacles.

This was the power added by the controller.

Wen Xishu found it hard to imagine, if he activated his Ghost Groom form... to what extent could the controller enhance him?

He had originally thought that he would need to activate his Ghost Groom form and combine it with the controller to have any possibility of defeating the Sin Sea Behemoth.

But now, Wen Xishu felt that he might still be able to conserve his strength; he didn't know if it was because the controller's enhancement of him exceeded expectations, if Huo En's control technique was too powerful, or perhaps both...

The current Wen Xishu seemed to have no need to activate his Ghost Groom form.

Huo En once again controlled Wen Xishu's body, launching another ultimate kick, and the killer soccer ball once again entered a state of high-speed rotation and low-speed movement.

Wen Xishu also moved forward with his blade.

Under Huo En's operation, the Sin Sea Behemoth also felt immense danger.

It no longer let other tentacles attempt to contend for Mia and the others, because the rapidly approaching Wen Xishu truly made it feel a crisis.

All tentacles began to attempt to intercept Wen Xishu in mid-air.

But Wen Xishu, under Huo En's operation, was exceptionally powerful.

Wen Xishu felt that Huo En's unconstrained imagination was more creative than his own.

This person... if only he could be brought into the bunker.

He had this thought once again.

At this time, Huo En, with the help of the perspective brought by the controller, had already seen the monster's true body.

After Wen Xishu had killed these octopuses until he was covered in blood, Huo En suddenly controlled Wen Xishu to stop.

Facing the killer soccer ball that was once again erupting with storm-like airflow, Huo En switched to a different kicking method.

It was still a full-power ultimate kick, but the point of force application was different.

This time, the killer soccer ball no longer possessed high-speed rotation, but instead, with extreme speed, like a ray of light, it shot toward the Sin Sea Behemoth's true body!

The Sin Sea Behemoth's body was clearly pierced by this ray of light.

Even Wen Xishu was shocked.

Was this his own strength under the controller's manipulation?

This massive creature was actually completely pierced by the killer soccer ball.

The black clouds began to dissipate.

The gloomy sky gradually had light.

Countless tentacles were disintegrating and dissolving, and Wen Xishu's figure began to fall continuously.

Using the dissipating tentacles as leverage points, Wen Xishu gradually approached the ground through constant jumping.

Huo En said calmly:

"My performance, it seems, was not bad."

After saying this, he remembered that he should have shown a smile to be more fitting for the occasion.

Although his emotions were dull, controlling Wen Xishu to defeat the Sin Sea Behemoth clearly gave him quite a sense of accomplishment.

"Save me..."

That voice that had let Wen Xishu escape not long ago appeared again.

Just as Wen Xishu was falling continuously, he felt that the Sin Sea Behemoth, which should have died, had made a sound again.

"Come save me... I am in the Ark! Land on the island, the next island is very important! Come save me!"

The voice carried a hint of yearning. Wen Xishu knew that the Sin Sea Behemoth would not die just like that.

The Sin Sea Behemoth was only temporarily repelled; the next time it appeared, this thing would become even stronger.

But if the Sin Sea Behemoth was an enemy—why would it ask for help?

Everything became confusing. Wen Xishu couldn't help but ask a question.

"Who exactly are you?"

That voice hesitated for a short while, as if it were seriously recalling. Several seconds later, when Wen Xishu was able to see the situation on the ground clearly, the voice actually replied.

"I..."

It was as if it had finally remembered, its voice trembling, appearing quite painful:

"My name is... Sirius!"

Sirius? The Sirius constellation? A demigod? Wen Xishu was horrified, suspecting he had misheard.

A demigod was asking him for help?

It was imprisoned in the Ark? How could this be? This was too subversive to his understanding.

In Wen Xishu's impression, people like Ding Dong, the other five outside the twelve constellations...

Logically, they should all be existences second only to the twelve constellations; how could they be imprisoned?

The twelve constellations would only kill them. Because according to the conclusion he had reached so far—

Every time a constellation dies, the birth of a True God is one step closer. Other constellations will gain an increase in power.

Therefore, the five weak constellations will constantly hide from the twelve powerful constellations.

Because between them, it is a relationship of fighting to the death upon meeting.

So, the one who imprisoned Sirius is, with high probability, not the twelve constellations.

Then there is only one answer: humans.

Qualified ones.

Some qualified one imprisoned a demigod? The captain of the Ark?

Too many thoughts surged; the more Wen Xishu thought, the more surprised he became.

He had previously guessed whether he would encounter some constellation; now he really had, but he hadn't expected... the other party was asking for help.

Could it be that the Sin Soil Fragments are not the most dangerous place, but the Ark itself is?

Wen Xishu finally landed.

Looking at Wen Xishu's somewhat tired and surprised appearance, Huo En disconnected the controller:

"Here. I didn't expect... you could really kill the Sin Sea Behemoth."

Huo En handed over the controller, and Wen Xishu took it.

Wen Xishu said:

"It was just a projection of the Sin Sea Behemoth; I'm afraid this is not the real Sin Sea Behemoth. It might even appear in a stronger form."

"Besides, this controller thing is linked to trust and friendship. Next time, perhaps in your hands, it can make me even stronger."

Huo En was slightly surprised; he thought for a short while:

"Okay, I accept your friendship, but I cannot provide corresponding value."

Clearly, in the eyes of someone like Huo En, the exchange of value is what lasts. Wen Xishu had proven his value: top-tier in both intellect and combat power.

He himself seemed not up to par.

Wen Xishu smiled:

"You have already provided enough value. Also, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

Huo En also revealed the same smile, smiling with extreme precision, even the wrinkles on his face were consistent with Wen Xishu's:

"As a friend, I will tell you everything I know."
