Although she didn’t understand why Naya said that, Xin still hoisted the unconscious Ska onto her shoulder.
She looked up at Gexiusi and noticed that its condition was indeed off.
Gexiusi’s azure body suddenly darkened, then turned black.
It twisted in agony, spraying black liquid everywhere.
The giant-like Gexiusi gradually melted and dissolved, no longer able to hold its humanoid form.
Countless bloody tendrils extended from the viscous mass, and a garbled voice emerged from within.
“■……■……■……■……”
Xin stared in shock at the bizarre scene before her.
Frowning deeply, she asked Naya,
“What’s going on? What happened?!”
Before Naya could explain, the voice came again from the slime, like the whispered words of an ancient outer god.
Everyone heard her shout.
“Ni……■……■……si……”
“Ni……gu……la……si……!”
The splattering slime gradually turned dark red, then black again.
The black sludge wrapped around the surrounding corpses and debris, turning these mixtures into flesh-like matter.
Then, countless black tentacles sprouted from the flesh.
They twisted and writhed, gradually growing four thick hooves.
These monsters were even bigger than Gexiusi’s original body, reaching all the way to the ceiling.
Huge mouths emerged from the monsters, grinning wide and letting out long howls.
“Baaa………………”
“What the hell are these things?!”
Xin felt she had never seen so many strange things in her entire life as she had today.
She instinctively feared these monsters, but couldn’t look away.
Everyone was intensely fascinated by them, eager to merge with them!
“They’re Black Goat Young!”
Naya carried his wife on his back, dodging the monsters’ tentacles while directing everyone to retreat.
“Don’t get near them!
Otherwise, you might get trampled to death!”
Xin narrowly avoided a tentacle strike and almost got stepped on by a hoof.
While running with Ska on her shoulder, she cursed loudly,
“Damn it!
These things don’t show any mercy!”
“What did you expect?”
Naya replied irritably.
“Nicolas, Nicolas—!”
Shabu’s shouts mixed with Gexiusi’s shrill howls, as if a desecrated ancient god was punishing its blasphemous servant.
Countless black tentacles tore it into pieces, gradually melting and dissolving, until no black slime remained on the field.
Gexiusi’s life had finally reached its end.
“It… just died like that?”
After seeing Gexiusi was completely dead, Xin let out a long sigh of relief.
She was about to set Ska down to rest for a bit when she saw the Black Goat Young charging toward the group with heavy steps.
“Miss Xin!
Get out of the way!”
Thorne shoved Xin aside and quickly retreated, dodging a hoof from one of the Young.
Xin watched in astonishment as the Black Goat Young began attacking the Primordial Organization members.
She asked Naya in disbelief,
“Why are these things still here?!
Why doesn’t the tentacle monster take them back?!”
By “tentacle monster,” she meant Shabu.
Xin thought that if Shabu had summoned these things, she should be able to recall them.
But Naya immediately explained,
“Shabu has lost control!
These Black Goat Young can’t tell friend from foe.
We need to get out of Zone D as fast as possible, or we’ll really be trampled to death!”
Xin handed Ska over to Thorne, then grabbed her katana and slashed at the tentacles.
She planned to draw the Young’s attention and buy time for the others.
“Go break the wall!
I’ll hold them off!”
Xin’s katana danced up and down, cutting off several black tentacles, but it was useless.
More tentacles surrounded her.
Black tendrils coiled around her ankle, yanking her down and disarming her.
The Young raised its thick hoof, ready to crush her into a pancake.
At the last second, Xin heard a voice behind her shout.
“All Things Cease————!”
A bell rang from somewhere in the void.
The ethereal sound instantly drove away the Young’s consciousness, freezing all their movements.
Xin struggled free from the tentacles.
She stepped aside and watched the Black Goat Young gradually melt into black slime.
A golden-haired handsome man stepped out from the group and walked toward the pile of sludge.
He bent down and gently lifted Shabu’s body.
It was Yoge.
He had woken up.
Yoge quietly calmed Shabu’s emotions, preventing her from losing control again.
Seeing that things were finally resolved, Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly helped Thorne lay Ska on the ground, then gently shook him.
“Hey, buddy, still alive?
If you are, make a sound, or your sniper rifle is mine!”
“No… no way…”
Ska had been carried around the whole time and was gradually coming to.
He first assessed his injuries, then spoke weakly to Xin.
“I… I think I’m done…
Delete my browser history in my computer…
That’s my lifelong request…!”
Xin sweatdropped.
“What are you talking about?!
I didn’t understand a word!”
Noah walked over from the side.
She sighed, waved her hand, and drew a Tarot card from the deck.
“Alright, Mr. Ska, stop joking.
Look at this.”
Noah flipped the card.
On it, a figure raised both hands, preaching doctrine.
It was Number 5, The Pope.
Noah channeled the power of the Stars onto Ska, healing his wounds completely.
Ska felt his strength return.
He sat up in surprise and found his injuries slowly mending.
He stared at the Pope card in disbelief and muttered,
“Ah… I used to believe in science…”
Counting the senior members, only about a dozen from the Primordial Organization were still alive.
But the rescue mission was declared a success, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
Yoge gently held Shabu, calming her mind.
His golden hair intertwined with Shabu’s blood-red threads, creating a strangely beautiful sight.
Ska quietly watched the two embracing and couldn’t help but remark,
“Ah… what a heartwarming scene…”
Xin wiped her katana, glanced up, and pursed her lips.
“Heartwarming?
All I see is a handsome guy and a tentacle monster.”
After others explained, Ska learned that Shabu and Yoge were married.
He turned to Xin and said,
“You’re just jealous, aren’t you?
Still acting tough.”
“Huh?!
Me, jealous?!”
Xin immediately bristled.
She pointed at herself with her thumb and said contemptuously,
“Back in the day in the tribe, plenty of male cats were after me!”
Ska blinked, then grinned mischievously.
“So how come you’re still single?”
