Collapse Iron: Cosplaying the Near-Death Star, but with a full destiny.

"puff--"

No sooner had Mohoshi uttered "Do you like it?" than he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

green.

It's still bubbling.

It splashed onto the newly sprouted grass, making a sizzling sound, looking even more potent than sulfuric acid.

"Cough cough cough..."

She clutched her chest and knelt down.

Just now it was only my left hand that felt a little off, but now all the bones in my body are cracking.

The feeling was like tens of thousands of ants crawling around in her bone marrow, trying to stretch her skin and flesh open and stuff her into a hard shell.

The countdown on my retina not only didn't stop, it started beating even faster.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

It was moving so fast it felt like it was killing them.

"I knew it..."

As he coughed up green blood, Hoshino rolled his eyes inwardly.

The "three-second coolness rule" is absolutely true.

"I just resurrected someone, and now I'm about to mutate myself."

"If this really turns into a giant worm, how am I supposed to survive on the train? Pam will definitely kick me out."

March 7th, standing nearby, turned pale with fright and rushed over to help her, but dared not touch the hardening skin.

"Hoshino! Are you alright?! Your face... why is your face green?!"

"Don't shake me... I'm dizzy..."

Hoshi waved his left hand, as if to say that he could still be saved.

But the sound coming from his throat was like the buzzing of an insect's wings.

Just then.

A figure in blue and white walked over.

Her steps were neither hurried nor slow; her high heels stomped on the grass with barely a sound.

Nguyen Mai.

She held a complex-looking analyzer in her hand, scanned it at Hoshino, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"really."

Her tone was flat, as if she were simply saying that the weather was nice today.

"That so-called 'breeding' blessing is basically a half-finished product."

"It's just a curse left behind by the second-generation Star God. He doesn't want you to inherit his power; he only wants to turn you into his vessel."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at the still bewildered messenger 7582.

There was no sympathy in his eyes, only the kind of focus one has when looking at precious experimental materials.

"I need to borrow something."

As Ruan Mei spoke, a syringe appeared in her hand without her noticing.

It's very thick.

The needle gleamed coldly.

7582 was so frightened that all six of his hands were trembling, and he instinctively wanted to back away.

But Nguyen Mai acted too quickly.

She took a step forward and grabbed 7582's arm.

The needle pierced precisely into the crevice of the carapace.

Nourishes—

A tube of pale golden liquid was drawn out.

That is the purest life essence of the insectoid race, and the foundation upon which they have survived to this day in harsh environments.

"The cricket is different from the true hibernating insect."

Ruan Mei shook the syringe in her hand, looking at the golden liquid flowing inside.

"Their reproductive factors are more moderate and more stable."

"This will neutralize the violent curse within you."

Before he could finish speaking...

She had already reached the star.

Without even seeking advice, he directly inserted the needle into the still-mutating neck of the star.

Push it all the way to the bottom.

"Ugh!!!"

Hoshi's eyes widened suddenly.

That instant.

She felt as if magma had been poured into her veins.

hot.

It's burning hot.

But then, the scalding heat began to cool rapidly, turning into a gentle warmth.

The bone spurs, which were growing wildly, stopped growing.

The bluish-gray hard lumps on the skin began to peel off, revealing the new, fair skin underneath.

The countdown timer that had been ticking flashed twice before finally reaching zero.

Then it disappeared.

call--

Hoshino let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked like he had been pulled out of the water, completely soaked.

But the excruciating pain that felt like it was tearing my body apart disappeared.

Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of fullness.

She could sense it.

The "reproductive" power that had been rampaging through her body had now become incredibly docile.

Like a tamed puppy, she lay quietly in the echoes of her destiny.

It stands side by side with that "end" power that reverses time.

"Goodness."

Hoshino stretched his neck, making a series of cracking sounds.

She raised her left hand and tried to activate that new power.

A pale golden halo instantly appeared in his palm, brimming with vitality.

"This is a blessing in disguise."

She grinned.

Although his right hand was still empty, his sleeve was flapping wildly in the wind.

But this didn't affect her good mood.

"Besides the 'end,' I now have another destiny that I can perfectly control."

"If we encounter another boss, we'll just summon a bunch of bugs to drown it."

Ruan Mei put away the syringe, glanced at the data panel, and nodded in satisfaction.

"The integration rate is 99%."

"It seems my deduction was correct."

At this moment, Xing and Danheng also gathered around.

Hoshi reached out and poked Hoshi's face. Only after confirming that it hadn't hardened did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death! I thought you were going to turn into one of those drooling monsters."

"Go away, go away! This girl is naturally beautiful, how could I possibly turn into a monster?"

Hoshi slapped Hoshi's hand away and got up from the ground.

She patted the dirt off her clothes and turned to look at 7582, who was still rubbing his arm.

"Thanks, bro."

Hoshi walked over and patted 7582's hard shell with his left hand.

"Borrowing your blood means I owe you a favor."

7582 clearly hasn't figured out the situation yet.

It looked at the star, then at the newly resurrected members of its race around it.

The larvae were crawling happily under the protection of the sacred tree, nibbling on the tender leaves.

The entire race has truly come back to life.

"No...you're welcome."

7582's voice was a little stuttering.

"It was you... who saved us."

As Hoshino looked at it, an idea suddenly popped into her head.

"Hey, now that you're alive, why don't you come with us?"

She pointed to the sky.

"Go see the outside world? Haven't you always wanted to go to space?"

"Our train is right there; it's big, comfortable, and has delicious juice."

7582 was stunned.

Its compound eyes gleamed, clearly very tempted.

But then it looked back at its newborn members, and hesitated.

"Go."

A cool, clear voice interrupted.

Nguyen Mai was squatting in front of a strange plant, collecting samples with tweezers.

She didn't turn her head, but simply said it in a calm tone.

"Leave this to me."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Ruan Mei, aren't you going back?"

March 7th asked in surprise.

Nguyen Mai stood up and looked around at the newly reborn planet.

That fervent thirst for knowledge flashed across her eyes.

"The ecosystem here has just been restructured and is full of unknowns and uncertainties."

"A race that has been resurrected from the dead, plants catalyzed by divine power, and that special reproductive factor..."

"This is simply the perfect testing ground."

She pushed up her glasses, and a very faint smile appeared on her lips.

"I want to stay and record these changes."

"And by the way... help them establish a new civilized order."

"After all, it would be difficult for these newly hatched larvae to survive in space."

After hearing this, Hoshino couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"It has to be you, Ms. Nguyen Mai."

"I admire your dedication to scientific research."

Now that the bigwigs have spoken, things will be much easier.

With Nguyen Mai in charge, it would be difficult to eradicate these insects.

Who knows, next time I come, this place might have become some kind of high-tech Zerg empire.

"Alright, it's settled then."

Shihoshi turned around and waved to 7582.

"Let's go, big guy."

"Let me show you the world."

"And incidentally, give those guys on the train a little Zerg shock."

7582 glanced at Ruan Mei, then at Ye Xing.

At last.

It nodded solemnly.

The six arms waved simultaneously, making a farewell gesture towards their people and towards this newly born home.

then.

It followed behind Hoshi with heavy steps.

The light flickered.

A beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping everyone.

Standing in the light, Mo Xing watched the ground gradually shrink, and the small yet powerful blue-white figure standing under the divine tree.

She waved her left hand forcefully.

See you later!

The wind blew by.

Nguyen Mai did not look up.

She was focused solely on the sample in her hand, as if everything around her was irrelevant.

Only the slightly raised ends of her hair swayed gently in the wind.
