On how PhDs become human evil

The battle is over...

"WWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

A furious roar that seemed to shatter eardrums suddenly rang out, and the ground shook violently as if a massive earthquake had struck, with cracks spreading across the surface.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Black spikes shot out from the cracks, spiraling upwards like tree trunks, reaching all the way to the ceiling of the 59th floor, before abruptly changing direction and piercing down at the people below.

"PhD!"

"Doctor! Watch out!"

"Protect the doctor!"

The Rhodes Island crew did this for a reason, because the spikes were aimed at White, who was in the command position.

However, even though the Rhodes Island team reacted immediately, the spikes' attack speed was simply too fast, so fast that even Amiya, who had been staying by White's side, couldn't catch it.

"Pfft!"

Just like piercing through plastic wrap with a needle, the black spikes pierced Bai Jie's body in the blink of an eye.

"PhD--!"

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I had a class reunion at noon and drank seven bottles of beer. I was feeling dizzy, but in a moment of madness, I made a bold statement that I would either post a video at 5 a.m. today or I would have to dress up as a woman to apologize. I was really out of my mind back then!

Section 22. I'm not human anymore, Ami Donkey!

Bai Jie is now standing in a ruin, surrounded by broken walls and rubble, with flames raging and dragging everything into a sea of ​​scorching fire.

Meteorites kept falling from the sky, and the earth shook and trembled incessantly. People cried out in grief and fled in all directions, and everywhere they looked, there was a scene of destruction.

Bai Jie knew about this situation.

This day marked the day Chernobog was captured by the Reunion Movement and turned into a living hell.

This day also marked Bai Jie's first encounter with Rhodes Island.

And this was also the day Bai Jie met her.

"Da da da..."

With high heels treading on the ruins, Bai Jie walked out of the sea of ​​fire—the person he would never forget in his life.

Her long silver hair, her attire reminiscent of a noblewoman, her red eyes that seemed to burn with flames, and her signature pair of black horns and the sharp blade hanging at her waist.

Tyrant, Talulah.

The spiritual leader of the Integration Movement.

“The fact that you’re here means you’re seriously injured,” Talulah said.

"I'm seriously injured... Oh right, I was pierced through the chest by that black thorn!" Bai Jie suddenly remembered what had just happened. "But why? Why am I back here? Where am I?"

Faced with Bai Jie's three bewildered questions, Talulah maintained her usual indifference and said, "This is your mental world. It seems that this is the place that left the deepest impression on you."

"...Who told me to run into a monster like you here? Thanks to you, my peaceful life is gone forever. How are you going to make it up to me?" Bai Jie forced a smile and said, while magic surged in his hand, and a pistol appeared in his hand.

Do you think this toy would be useful to me?

"Whether it works or not, you'll only know after you try it, right?"

Bai Jie knew that even if he could build nuclear bombs, it would be useless against Talulah. Compared to man-made natural disasters, real natural disasters were undoubtedly more terrifying and powerful.

Staring at Bai Jie's face, Talulah suddenly smiled. Although Bai Jie didn't know if it was a smile, the corners of Talulah's mouth did indeed turn up.

Talulah lifted her foot and walked towards Bai Jie, like a queen stepping down from her throne, exuding an inexplicable majesty and oppressive force. Under this majesty and oppressive force, Bai Jie wanted to retreat, but his body was completely out of his control, as if he were bound to the spot by a super straitjacket.

Approaching Bai Jie, Talulah gently stroked Bai Jie's cheek and said, "You always manage to surprise me in all sorts of ways, whether it's in Chernobog, Lungmen, or in the battles that followed. Even though you're just a human, you always manage to surprise me."

“I like you very much. Be my man, Bai Jie.” Talulah handed Bai Jie an invitation. “I think if it’s you, you can understand my will and then join me in bringing destruction to this world.”

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead. With all his might, Bai Jie managed to open his mouth: "Destroy the world? I never thought you'd have such a childish idea. Are you only 18 years old?"

"Yes? Or no? Choose one."

"I admit, destroying the world is really exciting, and you do have the ability to do it. To be honest, I can't think of any way to win you over. Just fighting against you has already made me grow old."

"Then what are you doing—"

“But I refuse!” Bai Jie interrupted Talulah with a firm and forceful tone. “My favorite thing to do is to refuse those who think they can overpower me with a NO!”

Talulah, who thought Bai Jie would agree, was stunned when she heard this, and then showed an expression that was both unexpected and expected.

"As expected, you always manage to surprise me. Perhaps being your enemy is the best thing I've ever done. Without you, I could easily crush Rhodes Island, but it's precisely because you're here that I'm willing to play along."

"Consider it a perk, you can have this. We look forward to playing against you again."

As she said this, Talulah drew her blade and plunged it into Bai Jie's body. At the same time, figures appeared behind Talulah.

Kingslayer, Frostnova, W, Bonecrusher, Faust...

"Why...?" Before Bai Jie could finish speaking, a dizzying sensation overwhelmed his mind, and he lost consciousness once again.

After Bai Jie disappeared from the mental space, the Kingslayer came to Talulah's side and asked, "You really have a twisted sense of humor."

“Otherwise, staying here all the time would be boring, wouldn’t it?” Talulah looked up at the blazing sky. “I really look forward to the day you realize the truth, the day you call our names…”

————————————————————————————

"Doctor! Doctor!"

As soon as Bai Jie regained consciousness, he heard Amiya calling his name. After slowly opening his eyes, Bai Jie discovered something terrifying.

His vision was stained blood red.

"Doctor, are you alright!" Amiya burst into tears of joy upon seeing Bai Jie awake. "Thank goodness, Doctor, you're alright! I thought you were already... Be careful!"

Amiya's words were cut short by a gasp, for the spikes in the sky moved once more, their target still the newly awakened Bai Jie!

"Why do these spikes keep attacking the Doctor?" Lappland said angrily as she cut off the attacking spikes with her sword.

“When the Doctor lost consciousness, the Black Spikes stopped moving, but now that the Doctor has woken up, they are moving again. Could it be that these Black Spikes can sense the Doctor’s condition?” Exusiai frowned deeply.

"In short, the priority is protecting the doctor—wait, doctor, what are you doing?"

Amidst the astonished gazes and expressions of the crowd, Bai Jie stood up and walked to the front of them. At the same time, the black thorns that covered the entire 59th floor, like frightened wild beasts, all stabbed towards Bai Jie with a speed comparable to a conditioned reflex!

Seeing this, everyone rushed to protect Bai Jie, but—

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

The surrounding rock walls shattered instantly, and all the black spikes that had been aimed at Bai Jie disappeared, leaving Bai Jie standing unharmed.

Brushing aside his pale bangs, Bai Jie, his eyes bloodshot, revealed a devilish expression and laughed, "Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? This is despicable! That kind of attack, which isn't even a tickle, is like the one that pierced me just now, stabbing right this way!"

"If you're not coming, I'll go first!"

As soon as Bai Jie finished speaking, his right foot stomped on the ground.

Boom—!

The ground collapsed! The earth was shattered in an instant, like an extremely dry and cracked surface, with cracks of all sizes spreading rapidly like a spider web!

"What...what kind of incredible strength is that! When did the Doctor, who can't even lift a gas cylinder, develop such strength?" Exusiai exclaimed in surprise.

“No, that’s definitely not just caused by pure power!” Amiya asserted. “When the Doctor stomped his foot just now, I clearly felt the magical fluctuations.”

"The doctor knows magic? But the medical department hasn't reported anything like that before."

"I don't know either. Maybe something happened while the Doctor was unconscious, but in any case, the Doctor now has the power to use magic."

Given the urgency of the situation, Amiya could only make this deduction.

"Boom!"

With a swing of his arm that had no muscle at all, Bai Jie conjured a catastrophic tornado that shattered the already ravaged ground in one fell swoop.

"Hahaha! What's wrong! Hiding down there and not coming out? You were so arrogant just now, but now you're acting like a coward! Your reputation as a fairy is crying, you piece of trash!"

With a powerful punch, the force of the blow shattered all the incoming black spikes. Then, another punch slammed down, destroying all the black spikes that emerged from the hole in the ground below.

“WWWWRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY!”

A soul-shaking roar resounded from below, followed by a burst of hellish magma that shot into the sky, a spectacle far more powerful than the firestorm unleashed by the previous filthy immortal.

However, they are still too weak in front of Bai Jie now!

"Weakling! You think you can defeat me, Bai Jie, with this little bit of attack?!" It was still a straightforward straight punch, and the magma that shot into the sky was instantly shattered.

(In excellent condition, is this the perk Talulah was talking about? This power is truly disproportionate to me, but... the power is constantly weakening, so it seems to have a limited lifespan.)

Although it was supposed to be a perk for Bai Jie, Talulah's perks were limited in duration. Judging from Bai Jie's perspective, it would be over in another minute, and only two minutes had passed since the battle began.

Three minutes of power? Does he think he's Ultraman?!

"Alright, this one strike will send you to hell!"

The dense, materialized magic erupted from Bai Jie's body like a volcanic eruption, then transformed into crystalline matter that covered Bai Jie's right arm and rapidly multiplied, like constantly dividing cells.

Finally, Bai Jie's right arm transformed into a giant dragon-headed cannon over sixty meters long, with dark flames constantly compressing and converging within its muzzle.

"Talulah, the Cataclysmic Cannon, Fire!"

The demonic dragon that brought natural disasters to the world has awakened and roared in this other world!

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I just browsed through the forums and found that someone has finally figured out the origin of the protagonist's name—yes, it's Bai Jie (杰), because my own name also has the character "杰" in it, so I just used it. But since you all know Bai Jie... I suppose you're all kindred spirits, right?

P.S.: One more chapter and it'll be five! I'm exhausted.

Section 23. Yakumo Yukari, you schemed against me!
