Collapse Iron: I just transmigrated! You want me to save the Black Tower?!

"What Nguyen Mai did had already sealed her fate."

He turned to look at the Black Tower.

"So...she has no way out."

Chapter 137 Ruan Mei's Death and Ending

Jiang Jiu knew that Hei Ta and Ruan Mei had a fairly good relationship before.

...or even well.

He couldn't explain why he had the audacity to bring the Black Tower along.

Maybe it's simply that she should be there at times like this, or maybe there's some other reason; it's hard to say.

Hei Ta paused for two seconds, then turned to Jiang Jiu and said directly, "Do you think I would show her mercy because of our past relationship?"

Jiang Jiu looked at Hei Ta's excessively calm purple eyes and shook his head.

“No,” he said firmly, shaking his head, “you won’t.”

After all, you don't even care much about your own life, let alone other people's.

So of course you wouldn't show her any mercy.

Black Tower is widely recognized as a conscientious genius.

She knew perfectly well who was right and who was wrong.

"Once the breeding process is mostly resolved, the problems on the Immortal Ship side can be considered solved."

Hei Ta followed Jiang Jiu inside, asking as they walked, "What will you do after you finish dealing with the Immortal Boat line?"

"Hmm... to deal with that Annihilation Lord of Onphalus?"

Black Tower: "...Is everything settled?"

"Go to hell?"

Black Tower paused for a moment.

Jiang Jiu chuckled, "Just kidding. Let's go, the sooner we finish this, the sooner we can go back and rest. I'm exhausted..."

He snapped his fingers, and the power of nothingness killed the insects that were hatching around him before they even came into being.

It's likely that none of the Vidyads here will survive. Even if they survive in Ruan Mei's hands, they might not be able to escape the crazy company outside.

The company is like it's on stimulants.

They were determined to fight the Immortal Ship to the death; they were absolutely insane...

Upon reaching the central area, Jiang Jiu saw Ruan Mei kneeling before a giant dragon-worm, clutching her chest in disbelief at the scene before her. For a moment, he was completely bewildered as to what had happened.

Did they not follow the original plan to merge immortals and then create gods?

Or did the pharmacist snatch it away?

"Why......"

A desperate whisper came from not far away.

Her voice was very soft, and each word was so broken that it was almost inaudible.

"Why...are they immortal...why..."

"Why has reproduction lost its power...?"

Her tone was even tinged with a hint of madness, and her eyes held not only despair but also a touch of insanity.

"It must be...it must be that there aren't enough immortal dragon descendants...there won't be a problem...no, no..."

"No, no, no, no...!!"

Black Tower pursed his lips: "She's insane."

"Judging from this, she seems to want to use reproduction and immortality, using the power of immortality to partially regress reproduction, thereby extracting a concept about 'life' from it."

"But it seems she failed."

Jiang Jiu nodded slightly: "She succeeded once, but it was all for the benefit of Feng Rao."

Black Tower thought about it and realized it made a lot of sense.

After all, abundance, in a sense, contains a part of the concept of life.

Their fates overlap, and the probability of being swallowed up is very high.

Oh... this can't be considered very big anymore; it's already destined to be swallowed up.

On one side, Nguyen May was becoming somewhat obsessed with the failure of her experiment, while on the other side, the two geniuses were still rationally discussing why the experiment had failed.

Nguyen Mai knew she had no room for regret.

She's not stupid; on the contrary, she's a genius.

He was so obsessed with the concept of "life" that he was willing to pay the price, even his life, after weighing the pros and cons.

She doesn't care as long as she can achieve her goal.

From initially agreeing to the research on the Immortal Boat, to the later irreversible consequences of the Immortal Boat's actions, she chose to take a gamble and use the shortest possible time to bring the seed to fruition.

All the indicators were clearly within a controllable range.

But why would the immortals suddenly resist reproduction? Why would the very life force of the reproductive remains shatter into pieces?

"It must be...it must be something wrong with the immortal dragonborn..."

"Since the dragon descendants on this immortal ship are no good... then..."

She seemed to have just noticed Jiang Jiu and Hei Ta.

She looked at the person in front of her in a disheveled state. The dragon egg of the Brightness began to shake violently, and cracks were pushed open, from which crawled one insect after another.

"...Get out of the way."

Black Tower took a step back, and Jiang Jiu gripped the Lonely Star Sword, advancing step by step.

"The most perplexing aspect of the concept of life is that life is endless, life is constantly being born, and life is continuously reproducing."

Jiang Jiu's calm voice rang out in this space.

He stepped forward, the Lonely Star Sword hanging at his side, its tip not pointing at anyone. Before the void, insect swarms would die upon approaching, and living beings would be annihilated upon touching it.

The area where the insects were being raised was completely enveloped by nothingness, and this encirclement... was constantly shrinking.

“But unfortunately, this is the end of the road…” he continued, his gaze passing through the twisted dragon worms and locking onto Ruan Mei’s deep blue eyes, which were filled with despair and madness.

"...It has already been extinguished by the God of Abundance himself."

"In other words, no matter what, your power will never reach the threshold of a Star God."

He stopped less than ten meters away from Nguyen Mai and the giant dragon-horned worm, and roughly assessed its strength.

“At the same time, as long as you can’t reach the Star God,” Jiang Jiu raised the Lonely Star, the blade reflecting his own calm eyes, “you can be killed.”

With a thought, Ruan Mei caused the insects in front of her to suddenly burst forth and pounce on Jiang Jiu.

Jiang Jiu took a step back to dodge the claw, and with a backhand slash, left a destructive erosion on the insect's body.

The assessment is complete; it's actually quite easy to win.

From a genius's perspective, if Ruan Mei's experiments do not harm the world, or in other words... as long as he doesn't have to clean up the mess she makes.

Perhaps out of friendship as colleagues, Heita and Jiang Jiu didn't mind lending a hand.

but......

"I sympathize with you and I respect you, but I cannot condone your experiment."

“This research, which comes at the cost of the entire universe, means that even if I don’t settle accounts with you now, you will die at Kakamu’s hands sooner or later.”

"Okay, that's enough."

Hei Ta glanced at it, shook his head helplessly, and left the area with Jiang Jiu.

The insect plague hasn't spread widely yet, and with so many forces backing it up, the worst-case scenario is that the entire Immortal Ship will perish because of it.

They left the Mirror of Scales.

Behind them was a scene of utter devastation and fire.

Chapter 138 Do As You Please

The final cleanup work was no longer Jiang Jiu and Heita's concern.

The family even tried to argue with the company.

However, the company was incredibly assertive, and the family eventually gave up.

The company's attitude is firm, and the fighting spirit it has demonstrated is equally resolute.

They were so diligent that they would die if they missed even one insect, and their efficiency was undeniably high.

Especially after learning about the fall of the Star Hunter God and the disposal of his remains, they became even more unscrupulous.

Later, the various factions also tried to vote on the final solution for the Immortal Ship.

In this regard, the most radical destructive forces initially declared that they couldn't care less and that the rest was up to them.

After Xingxiao found it uninteresting, he casually gave away a few star cores and left. Huanlong, on the other hand, was a little dazed. She looked at the Jianmu tree several times with reluctance, and in the end, she didn't know what she was doing.

Jiang Jiu, the initiator, did not appear at all during the final vote.

At the time, Screws asked a question politely, and this was the answer he received.

"You guys handle it as you see fit. If you can't handle the rest, just leave it to the company."

Screw Gumu remained silent for a few seconds, silently calculating the probability of the Immortal Ship's survival if its fate were entrusted to the company.

Honestly, on the surface, the major forces involved in this war are the corporate families and the Immortal Ship, but in reality, all the Star Gods from various factions have also joined the fray...

The destroyers include Nanook, the Star God of Destruction; Hipe, the Star God from the family side; Lan, the Star God behind the Immortal Ship; and even Kripper, the Star God who protects the company's faith...

This makes it easier to understand the company's and family's attitude.
