Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 922 - 169: An Unfinished Karma
The wreckage of the Mayflower fell like a meteor, transforming into a fiery rain that descended upon the moat dimension.
Wang Yunxiao, enveloped in raging purple flames, had just landed when he was confronted with a row of dark gun barrels.
"I’m on your side!"
When he shouted these words, he had already been hit six times.
Seeing the bullets bounce off his body, the garrison soldiers from the Special Service Bureau finally lifted their gun barrels slightly.
On a day like this, with demons and evil spirits running amok, even if someone looks identical, it may not be the real person.
The method used by the garrison soldiers to verify identity was simple and crude—shoot first and survive to prove one’s identity.
Wang Yunxiao steadied his footing, waved his hand at the garrison soldiers behind him, and looked up.
Today’s moat was as lively as ever, filled with all sorts of supernatural creatures and the smoke and fire of guns.
He had merely entered one battlefield from another.
"No need for your help here!"
Liu Zhihan’s voice rang in his ear: "Go back and resolve the issues left by the annihilation!"
To resolve the issues left by the annihilation, not the annihilation itself, because the annihilation had already escaped.
As an illegal stowaway, although she hid herself very well, Tingdaros was not blind. After collaborating with Wang Yunxiao to destroy the Mayflower, they immediately launched an attack on the annihilation.
Wang Yunxiao’s newly ascended powerful body was almost torn apart during the clash between these two figures.
He only knew that the annihilation transformed into a stream of light from his body, escaping into the river of time, while Tingdaros pursued it.
In an instant, a purple and white light vanished from his sight.
A silver light flashed, and Wang Yunxiao was sent back to the Real World. As the smoke on his body hadn’t dissipated yet, he heard a voice nearby say, "That was close, almost got bitten to death..."
"You haven’t left?"
Wang Yunxiao was shocked. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"Relax, Section Chief Wang, of course, I have ’left’—to be precise, my incarnation has detached from this time node, and what remains now is just a projection."
The annihilation laughed softly: "Your power level isn’t high enough to understand the struggles on our level. It’s just like the Mayflower being only a part of the entire Barnacle Project, and I came after it as just an incarnation. And that dog... her real body isn’t here either."
Wang Yunxiao thought, how could I not understand? In simple terms, it’s just you high-dimensional beings sitting in front of computers, using the game characters you created for in-game PVP, isn’t it?
"Ah... actually, that’s quite the right understanding. I almost forgot you’re also a legal transmigrator."
At the moment when the annihilation controlled Wang Yunxiao’s body, the memories in Wang Yunxiao’s mind were already read by her. At that time, Wang Yunxiao didn’t understand what she was, and naturally had no power to resist.
"Speaking of, you people really have double standards. Your own Doomsday Plan allows for lawful traversal, and I don’t have an ID, so I’m considered illegal. It’s really too much."
Wang Yunxiao frowned: "How can you be sure I’m a legal transmigrator?"
I myself have no idea how I got here.
"Haha, of course, I know. But now doesn’t seem like the time to discuss this. Your superior wants you to resolve the issues left by the annihilation, doesn’t he?"
"I think you’re the problem!"
"Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ll teach you a way now to remove the residual power from the puppets I controlled."
The over two-thousand puppets controlled by the annihilation had their control taken away once Wang Yunxiao completed his ascension. This is akin to a new operating system overlaying the old one, and the current world environment is extremely friendly to the new system.
Strictly speaking, these people have already rid themselves of the annihilation’s control, but residual power from the annihilation remains within them, which, if not dealt with, could seriously affect their bodies.
As for whether any extraordinary children might exist, ones who had broken meridians stimulated by the annihilation’s power suddenly unblocking their meridians and starting a thirty-year journey of cultivation from east to west...
For now, the safety of these two thousand lives is more important; other issues don’t need consideration.
The method the annihilation provided Wang Yunxiao is to use the divine skills he mastered after ascending to Rampaging Colonel, absorbing all the residual power in these two thousand bodies into his own.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll burst?"
"Seeing your body so strong, a little bit of power is no problem. Plus, your mind is so clear, you won’t become a puppet, nothing to worry about."
Indeed, although Wang Yunxiao had previously lost control of his body, and even his memory had been read, his consciousness always remained clear, something even he found incredible.
To absorb the annihilation’s power, the simplest way is cognitive understanding.
This is akin to martial arts techniques. If your cultural level is lacking, even holding the secret manual won’t help you understand it. Only when your master comes along and explains the terms in the manual can you truly start.
Otherwise, you’ll only end up practicing the Nine Yin White Bone Claws instead of the Nine Yin Scripture.
The annihilation explained the source of her power to Wang Yunxiao in the most concise language possible.
Although the notebook refers to her as the Lord of Billions of Flesh, a more accurate term would be the Lord of Billions of Corpses.
To create the annihilation, the Federal Government secretly produced and slaughtered tens of thousands of mutants, extracting mutant genes from these people and gathering them within the annihilation.
When all colors mix together, only black remains.
When all tastes mix together, only bitterness remains.
It’s obvious that this "I want it all" idea isn’t feasible, yet the plan was ultimately implemented.
The annihilation’s flesh on the material level can’t possibly harbor such an immense library of mutant genes, as each mutant’s gene is unique. However, the resentment born from their tortured deaths is the same.
Tens of thousands of resentments aggregated into what became the "annihilation," the most terrifying resentful spirit in Federation history.
"But I still feel there’s no such thing as a free lunch. You’re helping me; I suspect you have other motives."
In actuality, Wang Yunxiao didn’t trust the annihilation in the slightest; he felt the annihilation was focused on him for reasons beyond just his clear consciousness.
He remembered the being saying—
"You have her scent on you."
Whose scent? I haven’t showered for days, whose scent is so strong?
"No need to worry; you yourself know your worth. I left a projection here simply because there’s a strand of causality yet unresolved."
