Chapter 67: Bless You, My Girl [Ouroboros-sama…]

Heh…heh…

Rotten mud clung to the bottom of the experimental apparatus in the ninth-floor laboratory, countless scarlet eyes bulging from its dark body.

When the red pupils met the golden ones, the mud’s aura immediately weakened.

It writhed on the floor, a series of turbid yellow gas rising from the bursting bubbles.

“In the name of Ouroboros, I bestow a blessing upon my contractor.” Xuan Bai raised his hand and gently touched Su Nai’s brow, a silver-white serpentine pattern flashing between the woman’s eyebrows.

“You can go now.” The serpent’s fingers slid down her hair. Before Su Nai could react, she was grabbed by the back of her neck and thrown down.

“Ugh…” Su Nai was caught off guard by the throw, instinctively plunging her blade into the ground.

The entire floor instantly petrified from the blade outward, whether it was hardened glass, steel flooring, or various precision instruments, all turned into grayish-white stone in an instant.

The mud, which had been baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, instantly cowered. The apparatus it clung to also turned to stone, breaking into large chunks and smashing into the mud’s eyes.

“Su Nai…Su Nai…” It let out a sharp screech, calling Su Nai’s name over and over.

“You…don’t you dare call my name!” Su Nai felt disgusted just hearing it call her name. The woman flashed and disappeared into the air, appearing directly above the mud in the next second.

The blade pierced deeply into the mud’s scarlet eyes, a stream of yellow-green liquid splattering out, hissing and smoking as it landed on the petrified floor.

The mud let out a piercing wail, and actually turned its head and tried to flee.

It was extremely fast, nearly reaching the exit of the ninth floor in an instant.

Rumble…

Just as it was about to squeeze into the small vent, a blue barrier suddenly appeared.

The mud slammed hard against the wall and bounced back, rolling to the center of the room.

“Run? Where do you think you’re going?” The serpent, high above, slightly curled his lips, using technology from the stars to once again trap the mud in the underground laboratory.

This time he was personally supervising, so no traitors would dare to break the barrier and rescue the mud.

Heh ah… heh ah… The mud frantically scurried around, constantly bouncing off the blue barrier.

Su Nai had slashed it several times, and its entire body was oozing a stinky, yellow liquid.

“Serpent Bro…” Fourteen clung to the entrance, nervously watching Su Nai flash through the air.

“The Prophet and the Guild Leader… how did they become like this…”

“Just revealing their true forms.” The serpent scoffed.

“This is the Prophet?” Jing Junze and Tang Lin were recording everything from the side, startled when they heard Fourteen’s words.

“Yeah.” Fourteen nodded. “The Guild Leader used to give me candy… After the Prophet came, the Guild Leader and the Prophet slowly seemed to become one. Sometimes when he walked, black water would drip from under his clothes. Later, only Sister Su Nai and Uncle Qing Teng went to see the Prophet and the Guild Leader.”

“Parasitism.” Xuan Bai raised an eyebrow, shifting his gaze to the camera in Tang Lin’s hand.

“Record clearly, human.” The serpent lazily beckoned.

Tang Lin felt a pull, and his feet involuntarily moved forward.

“The recordings in your hands and your memories will be the evidence of their atonement.” Xuan Bai lightly tapped his fingers, savoring the emotions permeating the air.

If he hadn’t promised to let the children become ordinary people again, he wouldn’t have bothered bringing Jing Junze and Tang Lin along as witnesses.

…

“Su Nai… Su Nai…” The mud, having been beaten back repeatedly, suddenly swelled several times in size. It screamed Su Nai’s name, erupting in a cloud of grayish-yellow smoke.

Su Nai had to retreat a few steps, using her ability to transfer clean air from the outside to in front of her.

During her evasion, a dark shadow suddenly attacked, lunging for Su Nai’s neck.

Crack…

A sound like teeth shattering rang out. The mud had transformed into a gaunt old man with pale skin.

He reached out his hand, the palm actually growing a mouth that was tightly clamped onto the blade.

Su Nai tugged backward, but the blade wouldn’t budge. The row of sharp teeth was like a red-hot pincer, welded onto the blade.

“Jie jie jie jie…” The gaunt old man let out an eerie laugh, his left eyeball suddenly enlarging, detaching from its socket and hanging on his cheekbone.

The eyeball was scarlet and pulsating with thick blood vessels, countless pupils clashing within the socket.

“Lord… Ouroboros-sama… Jie jie jie…” The old man laughed maniacally, raising his head and staring intently into the serpent’s eyes.

“Lord, you don’t think I risked being killed to return here… just because I couldn’t bear to part with the laboratory, right…”

His expression gradually twisted and turned manic, his eyeball turning purple and red from being squeezed.

“Jie jie jie jie…” He laughed madly, countless strange things suddenly bulging and writhing on his body.

Tongues, wings, sharp teeth, long horns, tentacles… These things were bizarre and disgusting, some even unrecognizable.

“This is the power of the lords… Jie jie jie… Such powerful power…” The old man suddenly swung his arm, sending Su Nai, blade and all, crashing into the nearby wall.

“This is the power of the lords… Why… Why… Even a bit of flesh and blood has such great power…”

“Why are you born so powerful… Why can you leave the instance at will… Why… Why are you personally raised and spoiled by Our God, while I…while we can’t even call Our God father…”

The old man’s expression was both crying and laughing, his body growing larger, the thick blood vessels in his wrists rapidly bulging.

He rushed over in a frenzy, using the teeth in his palm to clamp onto the black knife, once again throwing Su Nai away.

“Ouroboros… hahahahaha… Your kin is about to be killed by me… I will kill you… I will show Our God… that those creations ignored by Him can also kill His direct line!”

He frantically attacked Su Nai, the woman’s long hair being cut into a short style. Beads of blood overflowed from the wounds, the edges of the exposed flesh already charred from being corroded.

But she still gritted her teeth, swinging the long knife in her hand again and again.

Fourteen was anxious, watching from above. The moment Su Nai was first knocked into the wall, he rushed out, only to be frozen in place by a glance from the serpent.

“Ugh… Wuu wuu… Boss can’t win…” Fourteen knelt on the ground, crying and on the verge of fainting. He reached out his hand, crawling towards the hole, but the pressure on his body grew heavier and heavier.

“Let me go, wuu wuu… I’ll die with Boss even if I have to die…” The youth cried heartbreakingly. He rolled over with all his might, grabbing Xuan Bai’s clothes and biting the serpent’s leg.

Fourteen’s canine teeth were sharp, piercing through the fabric and into the serpent’s skin.

He bit down with all his might, but the serpent didn’t react.

“Please let me help her.” Jing Junze suddenly spoke, similarly frozen in place by the serpent.

“Impossible.” Xuan Bai lowered his eyes, his narrow golden pupils emitting light in the darkness.

“At this rate, there’s no chance of winning.” Jing Junze clenched her fist.

“That is a wish that belongs to her, and only she can fulfill it.” Xuan Bai lightly waved his fingers, strange flames dancing up and down with his movements.

“This is her glory, and only she can reap it.”

The serpent snapped his fingers, and the flames flashed in front of Su Nai.

“Darling, look at the horn on his head, horns are afraid of water.” A woman’s voice suddenly appeared in the flames.

Water… afraid of water… Su Nai groggily propped herself up. She used her spatial ability to cut off water from the ocean and transfer it to above the old man’s head.

Splash… The cold, salty water poured onto the long horn jutting out from the back of the old man’s neck. The horn instantly exploded, causing the old man to let out a wail.

“Baby, use the Ouroboros’s blade to stab the petrified ground again, yes, connect it to the petrified slab under that ghoul’s feet.” The voice in the flames seemed to have changed. The new female voice was even more gentle.

Su Nai inserted the black knife into the ground again, and cracks began to appear in the secondarily petrified floor.

Crack… The old man lost his footing, stepping on a pile of rubble.

A foreign object resembling dried tree bark on his ankle began to grow wildly the moment it touched the rubble. The newly grown vines pierced deeply into the ground, trapping the Prophet and the Guild Leader in place.

The mutated old man roared, forced to cut off his right foot himself.

“Little girl, cut off the nail on his right index finger, and he won’t be able to control the teeth in his palm.”

“Dash past him from the side at a twenty-four-degree angle, that’s my blind spot. *Damn it*, my eyeballs.”

“Don’t be afraid, don’t dodge. Ouroboros has blessed you, hold the blade horizontally, with the blade facing you, yes, that’s great, that will create a shield.”

“Hold your breath… my tentacles won’t be able to sense you…”

“…”

Under the guidance of the voices, Su Nai gradually gained the upper hand. As a melodious song came from the flames, the wounds on her body actually began to heal.

Those in the flames were the serpent’s companions… Su Nai had already guessed. They were the owners of the foreign objects on the mud’s body, also the celestial objects that had once fallen to earth.

“I will kill him…” Su Nai shouted fiercely, actually cutting through space directly. Her movements were so fast that she left behind only a string of afterimages, growing more and more courageous amidst the mud’s wails.

“In the name of Lilith, I bless you, brave girl.” The soft female voice was like a feather, sacred and gentle.

“In the name of Nakaya, I bless you, may your steps never stop.”

“Mu Yun blesses you, may your blade always point at the enemy.”

“Saintess Lai Yi prays for you…”

“Please accept the blessing from Chang Yu…”

The flames dissipated in intense burning, but the successive blessings nourished the woman’s exhausted body.

“Traitor… traitor… Let’s die together…” The old man’s body had swelled to its limit. He let out a manic laugh, droplets of sticky liquid spraying from his mouth.

The moment he heard the voices of his former companions, he knew he had no chance of winning, so he wanted to self-destruct… to drag his most outstanding experimental subject to her death… to tear that damned traitor to pieces…

“Go to hell.” Su Nai looked at the cracks in the old man’s skin and suddenly smiled.

Not afraid at all… Those blessings seemed to still echo in her ears.

She spread her hands, silver-white light appearing from her skin.

Spiderweb-like patterns ran across her skin, drops of blood flowing from the wounds.

Su Nai gently raised her head, launching her final attack.

This was a guaranteed fatal blow, whether to the enemy or to herself.

This was a special move she had been planning for thirty years. Once launched, not only would the enemy die, but she would also die, all the experimental subjects would die, and even the isolated island base would be reduced to ashes.

This was originally reserved for the very end, a move for mutual destruction.

Yes, they all had to die. Had to die. If she, Su Nai, died, the other experimental subjects would not be able to integrate into the human world at all… they would only become objects of fear and be eliminated by the state.

So they all had to die, die, die, let’s not meet again in the next life.

But, she couldn’t die.

Su Nai opened her eyes in the white light. She saw her body torn apart, saw her blood turn into small orbs floating around her body.

She couldn’t die… She had received the blessings of countless divine objects.

She couldn’t die, Ouroboros was protecting Fourteen.

She couldn’t die, with him here, the only ones who would die were the Prophet and the Guild Leader.

Su Nai closed her eyes, letting her cells be divided by space.

Su Nai and the mud exploded at the same time.

“Ahhh… Glory…” A dazzling white light flashed, the gaunt old man lying on the ground, all the foreign objects on his body shriveled up. He stared with cloudy eyes, large gushes of black mud pouring from his mouth.

“Lord Lossd will carry on my legacy… to seize the glory that belongs to us…”

“You wait… You wait… Damn direct descendants… Hahahaha… Your Highness… Gaa…”

“Glory?”

Su Nai was covered in blood, her body broken and tattered but still connected.

“Glory… This is my glory!” She inserted the black knife into the old man’s mouth.

Su Nai waved the long knife, stabbing several times in a row, the black snake on the blade opening its mouth and releasing venom into the old man’s body.

“Why did you treat us like this!”

“You’re jealous of the direct descendants, so go and resist yourself, why use us for experiments!”

“The children you killed were only three years old… I watched their hearts stop beating with my own eyes… I watched my body torn apart with my own eyes!”

“You captured my mom and dad… You killed them… Fourteen is so good… His family has been looking for him for twenty years… A full twenty years! They traveled all over the country… even begging all the way!”

“You sewed up Seventeen and Eighteen’s mouths! You forced them to dare not speak, only to sing day and night… You tricked Fourteen, making him praise you in front of me… praise you… You turned Qing Teng into a vegetable… You locked him in the cellar without giving him sunlight or water…”

“Go to hell… die, die…” Su Nai, who had never shed a tear during battle, was now crying uncontrollably, her blood and tears sliding down her cheeks and smearing the old man’s cloudy white eyes.

Crack… As the last knife fell, a layer of grayish-white quickly appeared on the mud and the old man.

As crackling sounds rang out, the Guild Leader and the Prophet were completely turned to stone.

It was over.

The thirty-year-long nightmare was over.

Looking at the corpse that had been reduced to slag, Su Nai finally collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

The power suppressing Fourteen disappeared instantly. The youth rolled and crawled over, holding Su Nai in his arms.

Jing Junze and Tang Lin also rushed out at the first moment, protecting them on either side.

The ninth floor of the laboratory was quiet.

“The wish is more than halfway complete. Su Nai, what are your thoughts on killing the enemy?” Xuan Bai walked to the woman’s side, reaching out and covering Su Nai’s forehead.

A gentle white light overflowed from his palm, rapidly healing the terrifying wounds on Su Nai’s body.

“Villains… die from talking too much… Ha…” Su Nai chuckled, laboriously raising her hand and rubbing Fourteen’s head, fainting in the youth’s arms.

“Return to the Seventh Bureau, we will provide the best treatment environment.” Jing Junze softened her tone, taking out a handkerchief and gently wiping the blood from Su Nai’s forehead.

“Mm.” Fourteen sniffled, nodding vigorously.

Buzz… Before he could say anything else, the originally dark laboratory suddenly erupted in a dazzling light.

Crack, the blue barrier shattered instantly, the roar of water echoing from all directions.

[Ouroboros-sama, good night.]

A cold male voice suddenly echoed around everyone, and at the same time, the surrounding walls collapsed with a bang.

It was Lossd’s voice. The serpent had heard the audio that Yu Li had sent.

What was he going to do? Xuan Bai narrowed his eyes in displeasure.

Water…

As the words fell, large streams of blue liquid surged in, the rumbling sound like a giant roaring.

“…”

This liquid… had once corroded Ouroboros’s clone.
