I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Her eyelids were so heavy she couldn't lift them, and her long eyelashes were covered with heavy beads of water of unknown origin. After blinking a few times, they swayed and fell down. Her vision was hazy, and through the misty air, she could see a face with a confused expression.

During this time, she endured all the pain and suffering alone. Even when changes occurred in her body that would break anyone, they could not completely destroy her.

Because in her heart she still held onto the person who haunted her dreams, and hoped that she could find redemption from him.

But why is reality so cruel? The person who thought could save her, instead, extinguished that glimmer of hope when she needed her most...

Hope had been shattered without a trace, and the darkness of despair overwhelmed the last remaining defenses in her heart. Her heart ached terribly, the pain was excruciating, and large tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She opened her mouth to cry, but only a whimper escaped her lips, unheard by anyone.

Yan Zimo's thoughts and ideas all came to a standstill.

What did I just do?

Did I personally hurt someone I swore to protect for eternity?

Her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and the spear of victory turned into specks of light that vanished with the wind. Her first impression of her changed instantly from a brave and invincible war goddess to a helpless little girl.

The sight of her younger sister crying before her eyes was like a sharp sword tearing open her chest, still twisting violently, causing her to scream in agony.

No...that's not how it is...

"Qianxue, I—" Yan Ziming stumbled forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped.

what is that?

Then she noticed the changes in Ye Qianxue: the sharp claws on her fingertips, her jet-black arms, and... that tail that didn't seem to belong to a human.

Her thoughts raced, and she immediately understood the cause of the matter. But the clearer she became about the reason, the more violently she trembled.

However, what she didn't know was that her unintentional pause had completely pushed Ye Qianxue into the abyss.

She ran away, running in a panic, disappearing from Yan Ziming's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Mo Xin, you take my place!"

Yan Ziming only had time to shout once before leaving Lei Qie behind and, under the watchful eyes of so many people, abandoning the dire battlefield, he sped away.

Murong Haiyi, who was resting atop the city wall, slammed his fist on the table and stood up, trembling as he said, "Hey... are you kidding me? You're leaving those three big guys for us to deal with?!"

"And me."

Mo Xin appeared, but her gaze was fixed on the distant horizon, and her eyes held a hint of sadness.

Chapter 86 Self-blame and Pity

"Hey... those three big guys are coming! Focus fire! Focus fire!"

"What happened? Why did they leave so suddenly?"

"Who knows! First, keep those three guys at bay! Don't let them get any closer to us!"

With Yan Ziming gone, the three most powerful individuals present, besides those at the SSS level, were suddenly unrestrained, causing considerable panic.

Having been thoroughly beaten by Yan Ziming, they saw that this great killer had suddenly left, and their original intention to escape became active again.

They all dispersed and set their sights on the other eight-tiered individuals.

This move terrified many people. The other six eighth-tier warriors were mostly evenly matched, and if they were to suddenly break in, the entire battlefield would collapse!

Three is already enough to make things difficult for them. If a few more were to come out of the way, the battle would be over.

However, they hadn't gone far when the leg of the one that had been hit by the Spear of Victory suddenly burst into countless bloodstains, and then the entire leg fell off.

The small figure flashed past like lightning, leaving a large, bloody gash on another creature not far away. The creature, in pain, stopped and looked around warily.

The person who had injured both of them was a little girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long, flowing blue-purple hair and an exquisite face that was even more stunning than that of a celestial being.

Although Mo Xin wasn't as powerful as Yan Ziming and couldn't possibly hold off all three by herself, she was only facing three SS-rank monsters that Yan Ziming had crippled. Taking down one of them would be easy, holding off two wouldn't be difficult either, and the remaining one...

Someone has already taken it.

Murong Haiyi had barely rested before being forced back onto the battlefield, all by himself. The other high-level ability users were either exhausted or unable to leave.

"Half crippled...even half crippled is still a risk...that guy abandoned those big bombs and ran away, isn't he afraid of being cursed to death?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Murong Haiyi's forehead. He knew all too well how terrifying the dying counterattack of an SS-level mutated species could be. If he wasn't careful, he, the "God of War," could truly become a god on the battlefield.

Yes, it's the kind of posthumous ban.

But there's no turning back now, is there?

Behind him was the city wall, and behind the city wall were tens of millions of Chinese people. He couldn't retreat even a step!

"White Emperor."

The tiger's roar suddenly erupted, and the SS-class creature in front of him couldn't help but shrink in size, its eyes filled with fear.

It didn't know why it felt this way. The human in front of it was clearly not as strong as the perverted woman from before, yet it felt extremely wary of her.

"Come on! I'm going to push my limits today!"

Having said that, he raised the White Emperor Sword and began his life-or-death struggle!

...........

Where is it? Where is it?!

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and after a moment, it transformed into a panicked figure.

Yan Ziming gazed at the desolate city, her eyes filled with barely concealed panic and a burning resentment that nearly drove her to suicide!

What awful things has she just done?!

After seeing the abnormality happening to her younger sister, she understood everything.

My own sister's recent low spirits are not due to any ridiculous public opinion, but because of this damned alienation!

That tail and those sharp claws are undoubtedly signs of alienation.

why!

These past few days, she didn't know why Ye Qianxue was keeping it from her. She had repeatedly told her not to hide it from her, but Ye Qianxue had kept it a secret until now.

No, these are all just excuses. No matter what I say, I can't hide the fact that I hurt Ye Qianxue.

She hesitated a thousand times, and clearly decided to endure it all alone, but at the last moment she chose to rely on herself. It's hard to imagine what she was feeling at that time, overcoming countless difficulties to come see me!

That must be hope.

Yan Ziming knows his own sister very well, and he is very clear about the role he has played in his sister's heart over the past few years.

Is it really just about being an "older sister"?

of course not!

You could even say that Yan Ziming is the only reason Ye Qianxue lives!

Because of her existence, Ye Qianxue once believed that there must be hope at the end of the road ahead, and firmly believed that she, as the older sister, could give her salvation, and placed all her hopes on her.

However, once you reach that so-called end, after passing through the illusory ball of light, there is a bottomless abyss.

It's not hard to imagine what a person would do after falling into such a bottomless abyss.

Moreover, her sister has already mutated to this extent. If the patrol team sees her at this tense moment, Yan Ziming can't even imagine the consequences!

These days, the tension caused by the alienation phenomenon is unprecedented in any dynasty in China. People on the street will scatter and flee as if they have seen the Grim Reaper as soon as they see someone with similar alienation symptoms. When the patrol team encounters such people, they will kill them as soon as possible. In doing so, they have mistakenly killed a few ordinary people. It has a bit of the flavor of the witch hunt in the 18th century.

Although the government later emphasized to observe the situation first and not to take action until things were under control, as there were increasing examples of successful reversals, most of the patrol team members just chuckled.

It's much better to nip the threat in the bud during development! Why gamble with your life for a chance that's almost zero?

It was precisely because Yan Ziming had considered these factors that she abandoned such an important battlefield to chase after her sister.

Yan Ziming clenched his fists, his trembling eyes gradually hardening.

"I will definitely... I will definitely find you before anyone else!"

.............

In a desolate ruin, Ye Qianxue lay sprawled on the ground, her pretty face covered in dried tear stains, her eyes swollen and red from crying.

The black scales continued to cover her body, spreading from her arms to her shoulders.

Her mind was already clouded, and the crimson in her eyes deepened, gradually turning dark red. The light of reason was about to be completely swallowed up by violence.

Perhaps, by the time it's completely covered, I'll have become a monster hated by everyone.

"A monster... Qianxue is a... monster..."

Ye Qianxue sobbed softly, her eyes vacant.

--monster.

A being that everyone hates is a monster.

She is now a monster hated by everyone, and anyone who gets close to her will also be treated as a monster.

Humans are foolish; driven by the instinct of fear, their thoughts often shift from being directed at the "individual" to being directed at the "people around the individual."

It's not uncommon for people to assume that an entire family is a murderer simply because one person is one.

"If people find out that Qianxue is a monster, my older sister, my master, Tiantian... will all be implicated."

Even if we assume that Yan Ziming possesses an incomparably brilliant brilliance that can extinguish these slanders and rumors, he can only remain at this stage.

If I were to seek her help, she would undoubtedly protect me at all costs, even if it meant facing malice, insults, and... condemnation from the entire world.
