Cosmic Demon

Chapter 266 The Purge Agreement, the Shackles of the Mind!
The man's face beneath his peaked cap was solemn; he seemed surprised that the muffled voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie was going to such lengths.

They actually activated the gravity capture device and forcefully smashed a meteorite down?
"Won't doing this cause too much of a commotion? Won't it have a bad influence?"

The man, who was always described as "extreme," asked hesitantly.

The court's style was indeed rather rough, but not to this extent, resorting to sending meteorites to destroy the world at every turn.

"This is the fastest and most effective way to rescue."

The voice on the walkie-talkie gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be a soft female voice:
"Based on my deductions, there is a 79% chance that the people on the list have fallen into the mother nest of the human-faced spider."

It was a Class A anomaly, codenamed 'Anywhere Door'. For some unknown reason, it created a pocket universe of about three thousand square meters inside.

This anomaly isolates the area from the outside world, making it an anchor point for the human-faced spider clan's nests, used to incubate their highly pure bloodline members...

Given that the individuals on the list have stormed the administration building and are now surrounded by the Spider-Man race, in order to ensure the successful execution of the rescue plan, I have activated the Tribunal's authority, opened a cosmic wormhole, and ambushed the floating meteorite from Hengzhou Nova.

The man's eyelids twitched, a question arose in his mind, and after a long pause, he finally asked:

"What if, I mean, what if we accidentally kill the protected target along with it?"

The woman's voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie was very steady:

"According to my calculations, the chances of survival for the people on the list are extremely high. Moreover, the meteorite fell outside the Spider Nest, and the damage from the aftershocks was gradually weakened, so it will not endanger the lives of the protected targets."

The man had absolute faith in the "liaisons" on the other end of the walkie-talkie. They were the most loyal and staunch members of the court, known as the "Iron Ladies," and their analyses and results were free from any personal bias.

"Okay, then we'll proceed with your plan. Our primary objective is to ensure the safety of Qin Shi and prevent it from being trapped in the contaminated area."

The man's voice was firm and powerful, like iron being hammered into the ground.

His grey eyes, like those of a hawk, seemed to be burning with fire.

“He Lan Chan… Soul and body united… Spanning two paths… Heavenly Imperial Treasury… Ancient Heavenly Road…”

The man's lips curled into a wide grin, his coldness growing even more pronounced.

"I'm really looking forward to this person making it to the capital."

As the newly established Eastern Xia Dynasty entered its ninth millennium, numerous problems surfaced.

Especially as the Nine Marshals have been asleep for longer and longer, they are like celestial bodies illuminating the Milky Way. Although their light and heat are not diminished at all, they are getting further and further away from the mortal world.

This is why various factions and cliques have sprung up and grown stronger. Because a large group lacks a leader, dissenting voices will inevitably emerge.

The totalitarian elements in the trial court had a simple demand: they wanted Qin Shuai, the most prestigious of the nine supreme meritorious generals of the new Eastern Xia, to determine his future successor.

Led by a new generation that has complete control of the Fourth Battle Group, the government will purge and supervise the Nine Clans and the super conglomerates and military giants behind them, completing a top-down reshuffling and restructuring.

This is also why the Nine Clans are unwilling to provoke the Tribunal, regarding it as a "mad dog."

The latter would love for the Nine Clans to expose their weaknesses so they could seize upon them and ruthlessly exploit them.

"Qing Nu".

As the thought flashed through his mind, the man suddenly spoke.

"Could I include Qin Shi, the rising star of Hengzhou, in the top-secret 'Purge Agreement'?"

Almost all of them were loyalists of the totalitarian regime, and they had drafted a purge agreement under the leadership of Judge Fei, which aimed to "destroy everything through violence."

However, the purge agreement was interrupted because the council voted against it with nearly 80% of the votes, and a high-ranking official woke up and personally stopped the court's crazy behavior.

The presiding judge, surnamed Fei, was forced to retire early and is now semi-imprisoned in the Gongde Hall in the heart of the capital.

This place, along with Qincheng Prison, is known for two distinct systems: one for accepting personnel from the Three Departments and Nine Ministries who have committed errors but have not taken any substantial action or collected substantial evidence, and the other for detaining serious offenders who have been adjudicated by military courts.

"Commissioner Yoon, I have an obligation to remind you. Although you have the right to recommend, the pacification agreement is not recognized, there are no formally passed regulations, and it has not been included in the Supreme Constitutional Decree."

The gentle voice, referred to as "Qing Nu," reminded her:

"Therefore, your attempt to recruit a member of the Eastern Xia faction into the Purge Agreement, making him a reserve member of the Tribunal's loyalist faction, not only violates the record but also contravenes Article 9 of the Internal Regulations..."

Yin Jian raised his hand to adjust his peaked hat, a smile appearing at the corner of his eyes:
"Let's get straight to the point, Qingnu. You're becoming more and more like an artificial idiot from the Imperial era, constantly adding preconditions to your answers."

Qingnu said succinctly:
"I do not recommend doing this, as it is against the rules. I will not report it to higher authorities, but if it is discovered, you will be punished."

Yin Jian shrugged and laughed:
"Given my rank, I probably can't go to the Public Morality Hall to keep the old chief judge company. Since you've said that, let's observe for now. If Qin Shi can come to the capital, I will go to see him as his 'guardian'."

He hung up the walkie-talkie, put his hands behind his back, and continued striding forward in his military boots on the corridor.

……

……

Footsteps echoed across the vast wilderness as the Seventh Regiment, responsible for providing support, retreated like a receding tide, swiftly withdrawing from the Spider-Man's Nest.

Jiang Shijie looked at the administrative building standing in the distance and had no choice but to retreat with the army.

"A meteorite fell out of nowhere?"

Lin Xiong's steps were heavy, kicking up dirt everywhere.

As he ran, he looked back and saw that the dark, curtain-like sky was torn apart by red light, and the friction with the atmosphere produced a raging inferno.

"The magnetic field in polluted areas is disordered, so it wouldn't be surprising if any kind of natural disaster broke out."

Wu Yong lowered his eyelids; he already knew that the person who had stormed into the administration building was Qin Shi.

As the spark of Dongxia, Hengzhou's blazing sun naturally provides the other party with an extremely high level of protection.

They may have already come under the court's scrutiny and become "subjects of guardianship".

The people in the court of judgment possess one of the three original texts of the Eastern Xia Dynasty, which gives them more power than the Three Departments and Nine Ministries system. They also have access to countless advanced technologies, so it's not surprising that they could produce a meteorite from the sky.

"If the Tribunal intervenes, then the Seventh Battle Group's order to drive away the Rakshasa Ants will certainly also come under scrutiny..."

Wu Yong pondered, he was unwilling to be an "informant," a person who would certainly not survive in the battle group.

However, they cannot turn a blind eye to speculation that their own teachers have abused their power due to personal grudges.

“We cannot use disciplinary inspections to report problems, as this would escalate internal issues and damage the reputation of the battle group.”

After careful consideration, Wu Yong decided to follow the division headquarters' route and raised reasonable doubts.

As a member of the Wind Scythe Order, he loved the group dearly, but his rational self-insistence also led him to make dangerous attempts.

Even if he was expelled from the battle afterward, Wu Yong could accept the outcome.

"I hope Qin is alright."

Jiang Shijie shook his head. Compared to their last encounter, his opponent's strength had undoubtedly improved significantly.

Such a brilliant and dazzling genius, if he were to fully mature, would have an immeasurable future.

"Perhaps, the new generation will truly welcome a 'He Lanchan'."

……

……

"Meteorite? Where did this meteorite come from?"

The high priest struggled to lift his head, looking up at the massive meteorite plummeting rapidly, his heart filled with shock.

"Nathan, may Chaos protect you."

Upon seeing the Seventh Legion retreat like a receding tide, Queen Rose also led her retinue of creatures in a large-scale migration.

Even a tribal leader at the third level of disaster would not be able to withstand the impact of this meteorite.

The only way out is probably to please the Chaos Demon and get its help to escape this calamity.

But how could a ceremony or sacrifice be held under such a tight timeframe?

"We need to gather our people as quickly as possible and hide in the Mother's Nest..."

The high priest, using both hands and feet, moved with the speed of an aberrant creature, quickly reaching the middle floor of the administration building. It grasped the doorknob, intending to pull it open and take in the elite creatures from the various sub-nests.

Twist it hard, pull it!
"Ok?"

High Priest Nathan was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.

He turned the knob again, trying to pull open the closed wooden door.

It remained motionless.

"what happened?!"

High Priest Nathan's eyes bulged, as if he couldn't believe it.

This unusual occurrence was due to the fact that it offered numerous sacrifices before receiving the gift.

It was "salvaged" from the infinite Netherworld by the Great Demon of Chaos.

The safest option is to place the mother's nest inside.

This anomaly does not belong to other members of the family, but is deeply bound to Nathan himself.

By controlling the mother's nest, this high priest wields great power, deciding who can be nurtured, hatched, and transformed.

"Ji'an! Open the door!"

Nathan roared.

There is now only one person inside the mother's nest.

It was the "emperor" it personally selected, Ji'an.

Although that creature was of lowly status and not of noble lineage from the human-faced spider, its bloodline purity was exceptionally high, possessing ample evolutionary potential.

Moreover, out of personal interest, Nathan is actually not very willing to cultivate noble families within the clan, as those who are too outstanding often threaten his position.

"Jian! Open the door! That's an order!"

Nathan was furious. He had personally promoted a lowly commoner to a higher level in the maternal nest.

This is an immense blessing!
Rumble!
The mental fluctuations reverberated through the void. Although this door blocked the way between inside and outside, High Priest Nathan had already imprinted a spiritual mark on Gian.

"Open the door..."

Inside the Mother's Nest, the girl, now renamed "Jaina," trembled violently, her eyes filled with intense terror.

If Qin Shi hadn't stopped it, it would have already opened that door, driven by its subconscious fear.

"Something's happened outside. It's enough to make the High Priest so anxious..."

Qin Shi stood blocking the doorway, then turned to look at Jaina, who seemed completely terrified:

"You are the true king of the Spider-Man, why are you afraid of it?"

Jaina's face turned pale, and she shook her head vigorously:

"You wouldn't understand! The High Priest has the ability to communicate with the Chaos Demon; it is the supreme decision-maker in the clan! Even if you become the 'Emperor' with the highest level of evolution, you must still obey the High Priest's will!"

Do you creatures actually still use the "divine right of kings" system?

Qin Shi's lips twitched, and upon further reflection, it seemed to make sense.

The birth of the familiar creature race originated from beings of a higher rank within the Chaos faction.

Its ultimate source is the star god sleeping in the Earth's core!
Therefore, the dependent creatures truly possess "faith".

It is comparable to the fanatical esoteric practitioners who dedicate themselves to their practice.

"You are in the shadow of the high priest, which has shackled your mind."

Qin Shi noticed the deep purple diamond-shaped mark on Jaina's forehead and realized that this was probably a method used by the High Priest to facilitate his control over the "chess pieces".

"No wonder he is so immature and has hardly grown up."

As the high priest's roar grew increasingly violent, the mental fluctuations hidden within Jaina suddenly erupted, and the deep purple rhombus mark turned blood red.

Having grown much taller, Jaina, now a "girl" instead of a "little girl," had indifferent eyes and launched an uncontrollable attack on Qin Shi.

Then--

Bang bang bang bang!

Qin Shi showed no mercy and punched him!
They beat Jaina black and blue!

With this powerful blow, the opponent's feminization seems to have deepened again, and her female biological characteristics have continued to develop and become more and more obvious.

Along with her long, black hair that reached past her waist, it grew rapidly and had already crossed her pert buttocks.

From the perspective of general public aesthetics, Jaina undoubtedly blossomed into a stunning figure.

But with its exquisite face, oozing nosebleeds, and dark circles under its eyes, resembling a pig's head, it's really hard for any male creature to have any romantic thoughts about it.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'm sober now!"

Jaina mumbled incoherently.

This human is so cruel, using it as a punching bag to be beaten.

It was forced to break free from the uncontrolled state of being bound by mental shackles.

"This is called 'personality correction fist,' which helps you maintain independent thinking."

Qin Shi put away his fist. Since the Spider-Faced Priest outside couldn't break in, he wasn't in a hurry to go out.

Considering that all living beings inside the gate will be stripped of their life force, it is equivalent to being sealed.

That high-ranking spider priest who reached the third level might not be able to defeat me.

In terms of numerical values, Qin's Time has always been far ahead.

The seven physical limits of the old martial arts school, as long as they maintain a high-efficiency breakthrough speed, their combat power is simply terrifying.

It absolutely deserves the title of "invincible"!

Over the next few minutes, High Priest Nathan's mental fluctuations erupted repeatedly, driving Jaina to the brink of madness as she attempted to lunge at the door.

Then Qin Shi patiently used the "Personality Correction Fist" to clear the other person's eyes again.

After this process was repeated, there was no more movement outside the door, and Jaina was no longer affected.

Qin Shi chose to wait patiently and calmly, focusing on his training.

The Mother Nest, located in the world behind the gate, has an extremely high concentration of energy factors, even stronger than the polluted area, making it a veritable "cultivation paradise"!
"It truly lives up to its reputation as a high-value 'red' resource."

Qin Shi was determined to eliminate this anomaly.

This item rightfully belongs to me!

It's such a waste that it fell into the hands of the Spider-Man race; it's like a divine object being tarnished!

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shi completed three rounds of physical training. He felt that he had advanced the new stage of the fifth limit quite a bit, and then he took a deep breath to adjust his state.

Grasp the doorknob, twist it gently, and push it outwards.

There was no expected heavy siege, nor the anticipated ferocious attack. The entire administrative building was almost completely razed to the ground, leaving only scorched earth.

The door stands calmly amidst the ruins, unchanged and undamaged.

"Who wiped out the entire Spider-Man race?"

Qin Shi was puzzled, but before he could pop the champagne, a surge of emotion, like a thick, dark cloud, rose within him.

Accompanying this was a hoarse voice filled with deep hatred:
"What have you done to cute little Jian! You human scum! Give Jian back to me!"
