Infinite Chimera Creation

[Almost there, almost there. Just one more shot, and I can kill her!]

The rat-like monster leaping from the shadows roared inwardly, yearning to tear the enemy leader's throat apart with its claws.

Chapter 143 The Assassin

When the children of monsters are fighting, their top priority is not to kill the enemy, but to find and kill the hidden snake-patterned owner of the enemy so that the stronger predatory worms can make their move.

Similarly, the monster race's top priority is definitely to kill the snake-patterned owners of their enemies, so that their collaborators, the Dosak Eight-Eyed Lions, can take action against the enemies.

Such a deduction was not difficult to make, so Hongye was not surprised that a demon would come to assassinate her. The second combat unit she had left behind was specifically to deal with this situation.

There was no insulting roar like "How dare you attack Lady Kureha!" nor the idiotic laughter like "Hahaha, Lady Kureha knew you would come to ambush us, accept your fate, you rat!"

Silently, a little girl with a princess-style hairstyle, belonging to the Second Combat Unit, standing next to Hongye, raised her head and looked at the attacker with eyes as bright as a rainbow.

The little girl's eyes flickered slightly, and instantly, the rat that had been close to Hongye, roaring excitedly inside, was twisted into a thin stick, as if it were being braided. Dark red blood spurted from its body, but not a single drop splashed onto Hongye, and it abruptly disappeared in mid-air.

However, there are certainly many monsters skilled in assassination, and even more who would try to assassinate Kureha. The rat that leaped from the shadows had just died when a huge, strange insect, resembling both a mosquito and a dragonfly, appeared out of thin air, its sharp mandibles lunging towards Kureha's head, seemingly intending to devour her brains.

At the same time, a tuna-like monster high in the sky, its body shimmering with a water-like light, silently shot towards the red leaves like a javelin.

However, whether it was the tuna or the strange insect, once they entered the rainbow-eyed little girl's field of vision, their fate was no different from that of the mouse. They were forcibly stopped in place in less than a second, then twisted and drained.

At the same time, the leader of the predatory worms, who was quietly waiting beside Red Leaf, trembled slightly. Suddenly, a large crack appeared in the ground, and a monster that looked like a pangolin was thrown out. It landed right in the vision of the rainbow-eyed little girl and turned into a golden twisted rope.

"Hehehe, do you really think I don't exist? You dare to come down from underground right in front of me, the king of the underworld. Even if I can't attack you, I can still torment you to death."

The leader of the predatory worms did not lower his voice; the sharp, penetrating sound carried far and wide, causing those monsters whose abilities were biased towards earth and focused on the underground to feel a chill run down their spines and hurriedly emerge from underground.

Hongye glanced at the leader of the Predator Worm, who had dismissed part of the assassins with a single sentence, and nodded with a slight upturn of her lips in satisfaction.

The assassinations from underground ceased, but those from other directions would not. Realizing the rainbow-eyed little girl was not to be trifled with, a serpentine monster capable of short-distance teleportation, carrying a mirror made of condensed ice crystals, suddenly teleported in front of the little girl, its eyes gleaming with smugness.

"Do you really think a mirror can reflect my abilities? You fool."

For the first time since she started using her hands, or rather, her eyes, the rainbow-eyed little girl spoke, and her first words were a sarcastic remark. However, the giant snake, who considered himself very clever, could no longer hear the little girl's soft, mocking voice, because he had now turned into a withered, purple twisted rope.

The assassins had accomplished nothing, yet they died one after another, but they had no intention of giving up.

A boar-type monster that was fighting the Monster Child near Red Leaf suddenly swelled up, instantly transforming from a slightly large boar into a severely overweight elephant. With heavy steps, it rumbled and charged towards Red Leaf.

Although the wild boar was huge, it was by no means sluggish, and its speed was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it had closed the distance between itself and Hongye considerably.

The rainbow-eyed little girl turned her gaze to the wild boar. Perhaps because the boar was too big, her ability was a bit slow to take effect this time, taking a full two seconds to turn it into a twisted shape.

However, just as the wild boar died, when the rainbow-eyed little girl should theoretically be most relaxed, a pitch-black shadow separated from her shadow, its mouth wide open to bite at her head, seemingly intending to bite her head off.

Since you've managed to thwart all the assassination attempts against Momiji, let's kill you first and then go after Momiji.

With this in mind, the monster that could dwell in the shadows of others summoned the wild boar, exchanging its death for the chance to kill the rainbow-eyed little girl.

The shadow demon was confident in his assassination skills. Even if the two were close at hand, he didn't think the little girl could detect him. Moreover, even if she did, she certainly wouldn't have time to turn around and bring him into view.

With a cruel glint in its eyes, the shadow monster seemed to have already envisioned the future where the little girl's head would be bitten off from behind, and she would die without ever understanding how she died.

However, reality could not possibly go as he wished. The little girl's body remained still, but her head turned 180 degrees in a bizarre way, staring directly at the shadow monster. In the next instant, the shadow monster's body was twisted, but instead of turning into a pretzel, it turned into a pile of black light spots and dissipated into the air.

The shadow monster died, but their planned combo didn't end there. From behind the boar's still enormous, twisted corpse, a creature resembling a centipede, crackling with electricity, suddenly leaped out. Taking advantage of the moment when the rainbow-eyed little girl and the shadow monster locked eyes, before the shadow monster was completely dead and the little girl couldn't turn her head, the creature, propelled by the electricity, instantly rushed behind the little girl, its black fangs snapping down to bite at her neck, which was already twisted 180 degrees.

However, the monsters forgot one thing: what Momiji left behind was the entire Second Combat Unit. If the Second Unit only had Rainbow-Eyed Little Loli, how could it be called a unit?

Standing beside the rainbow-eyed little girl, a little girl with pigtails, who had been ignored by the many monsters, slightly opened her mouth and gently inhaled. Instantly, the centipede monster felt an irresistible force, like the most violent hurricane at sea, dragging it towards the pigtail-wearing little girl, ultimately landing in her mouth and being swallowed whole.

Strangely, although the centipede monster clearly felt a tremendous pulling force, as if a typhoon had struck, the surrounding objects were not affected at all. Even the hair of the rainbow-eyed little girl standing next to the twin-tailed little girl did not flutter.

Just as the monsters were about to launch their next attack with reckless abandon, Hongye, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly looked up, a cruel smile playing on her lips. She glanced at a patch of ground about three hundred meters to her right and uttered words brimming with murderous intent.

"I've found you~~"

P.S. Even though I was busy until late at night, I still managed to finish today's update without missing a single chapter. For my integrity, please give me your monthly votes! [stretches hand] It's the beginning of the month, please give me your monthly votes!

Chapter 144 Siege

Just as Hongye was speaking, a little girl with dark skin in the second combat unit moved her feet slightly, and instantly the ground beneath her feet produced a strange fluctuation, allowing her to instantly cross three hundred meters and arrive at the land that Hongye was staring at.

Unlike the two little girls who were used to maintaining their human form while using their abilities, this dark-skinned girl instantly transformed into a monster upon landing at her destination, becoming a giant brown bear with its back covered in white bone spurs.

With a roar, the blood-red demonic bear stood upright, emanating concentric circles of dark, ripple-like magical power.

An ominous ripple of magic swept across the land, turning everything it touched into a deathly gray. Then, as if unable to bear their own weight, these things scattered on the ground as dust.

Only about three meters to the right of the demonic bear, where there was nothing, did the dark ripples encounter an obstacle.

With a flash of ferocity in its eyes, the demonic bear roared again, and the magic power that had been spreading in ripples was gathered into a beam and shot towards that direction.

Whether in action or reaction, the Demon Bear's speed is astonishing. From moving to the approximate location of the target to spreading its magic to find the target's exact location, it only took less than a second and a half in total.

Struck by the concentrated magic, Bai Lu could no longer hide herself and was exposed to the sight of the many demons.

The magic of the demonic bear has the property of turning to ash and decay. Even though Bai Lu has a very high resistance to magic, she was still frozen for two seconds before regaining her ability to move after being hit by the highly compressed magic of the demonic bear.

Those two seconds, plus the previous one and a half seconds, were enough for the other members of the Second Combat Unit to get to her side.

Those who possess serpentine markings are those who passed the Hell Test back then. Among humans, those who passed the test did so by organizing the masses and mobilizing collective power. As for monsters, a race with strong individual strength, their method of passing the test is naturally through combat.

Therefore, even though Bai Lu's invisibility was broken and she was exposed, the demon children who came did not dare to relax at all. They all completed their demon transformation and enhanced their combat power to the extreme before surrounding Bai Lu.

Surrounded by a group of fierce-looking monsters with bizarre or ferocious appearances, Bai Lu, who was only the size of an ordinary cat, showed no fear whatsoever. After regaining her mobility, she even leisurely licked her paws.

Bai Lu's calm and confident demeanor might intimidate other people, making them hesitate and unwilling to take action.

However, unlike the demon children who were specifically left behind by Hongye to protect themselves and to snipe the other snake-patterned demon children, they did not give much thought to the meaning of Bailu's posture and directly launched their strongest destructive abilities.

In an instant, tangible and intangible, luminous and dim, lifeless and domineering, all sorts of abilities struck the small black cat, instantly shattering it into tiny particles invisible to the naked eye.

"Hmm, what a terrifying combined attack. It killed the person without giving them any chance to fight back."

As if time had reversed, accompanied by a lazy complaint, the dead black cat reappeared in the circle of the monster children, lazily licking its paws.

There was no classic "What, how is this possible?!" Upon seeing the enemy revive, the children of the monsters decisively launched another attack. In the same location, the same thing happened again: the pitch-black cat was once again reduced to ashes.

"Wow, what terrifying reflexes! They're just kids around ten years old, is it really okay for them to be this amazing?"

After the attack, the soft, languid voice rang out again, the black cat lazily defying the pride of the demon children. Instantly, the attack resumed, and the black cat was killed once more.

"Hmm~, you guys are really serious. In that case, I should probably get serious too."

After the attack, the voice reappeared, but in just one sentence, it changed from soft and cute to incredibly powerful, as if it had transformed from a cute little girl into a queenly and mature woman.

It wasn't just its voice that changed, but also its appearance. In the blink of an eye, the tiny kitten's body swelled up wildly, eventually transforming into a ferocious beast larger than a tiger. Its wings, which had also grown larger, appeared even more majestic, inspiring awe in all who beheld them.

After growing larger, Bai Lu's aura instantly changed, transforming from listless languor into restless wildness.

With a rough roar, Bai Lu, now even larger than a tiger, lowered her body and charged towards the weakest mantis-shaped demon child in the encirclement without needing to gather her strength. It looked like she was about to break through the encirclement.

The attack power of the mantis-type monster is undoubtedly strong, but its defense is somewhat lacking. Anyone with a brain would definitely target it as a breakthrough point when trying to break through an encirclement.

Of course, this is something that those who intend to break through the encirclement could think of, and the Mantis Demon Child herself, putting herself in their shoes, could also think of. Therefore, she would naturally strengthen or conceal her weaknesses.

Facing the charging tiger, the Mantis Demon Child calmly extended his scythe and gently made a small cut on the demonic bear beside him.

Instantly, the blood flowing from the demonic bear's wound, like slime, crawled up the mantis's bladed arm and onto her body. Then, a glint flashed in the mantis demon's eyes, and the demonic bear's blood within her was activated, covering her body with a faint black hue.

The next moment, Bai Lu's claws firmly gripped the mantis monster's body. However, this mantis monster, which should have been weak and easily killed by her, now had a defense as strong as a demonic bear.

Having failed in her first attack, before Bai Lu could launch a second assault, a variety of powerful attacks rained down on her once more, reducing her to ashes.

However, the ability [Nine Lives] that Bai Lu had obtained after passing the test made her completely indifferent to her few deaths, and she calmly revived once again.

Seeing that the Second Combat Team had failed to capture Bailu after so long, and even failed to seriously injure her, Hongye frowned, her eyes showing slight dissatisfaction.

Without materializing, Hongye raised a finger and pointed it at Bailu. After a faint arc of electricity flashed on her finger, a black bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.

The black lightning struck Bai Lu but failed to kill her. However, Bai Lu's eyes instantly turned terrifying because just now, her [Nine Lives] ability had been sealed, or rather, it had been dispelled as if she had encountered a ghost of holy light.

P.S., I've been struggling to write these past few days' updates while drinking strong coffee at night. I just couldn't keep going today, so only one update. I'll decide tomorrow whether to make up for the missing chapter. Okay, goodnight everyone.

Chapter 145 Advancement

Even before her abilities were fully developed, Hongye already exhibited characteristics such as [Demon Slayer] and [Evil Slayer]. After a long period of development, she has developed her abilities to the point of [Elimination] and [Destruction].

When Bai Lu passed the Hell Test, she gained the ability "Nine Lives." Just as the name suggests, this ability granted Bai Lu nine lives, and any lost lives could be recovered after a period of rest. It has to be said that this is a rather overpowered ability.

However, even with such a bugged ability, it was still "destroyed" for at least a minute by Momiji's black lightning. During this minute, Shiratsuyu's abilities were unusable.

The Demon Children of the Second Combat Squad often sparred with Kureha and knew very well how disgusting their boss's abilities were. Therefore, when they saw Shiratsuyu being struck by black lightning, they launched an attack without hesitation.

Dozens of dangerous abilities were launched at Bailu, whose [Nine Lives] ability had failed. It seemed that the black cat, which had become larger than a tiger, was about to die. However, Hongye's expression suddenly changed. Her right arm instantly underwent partial demonization and grabbed Bailu from a distance, or rather, grabbed at the demonic child surrounding Bailu.

The next moment, a cage of black lightning enveloped the children of demons. At the same time, crimson flames, like a volcanic eruption, suddenly surged from the ground, and thick pillars of fire engulfed Bai Lu and the children of demons surrounding her.

The difference was that when the flames reached Bai Lu, they automatically bypassed her body, not only without harming her in the slightest but also blocking all attacks aimed at her. The flames surging towards the Demon Children, however, were incredibly violent, frantically eroding the lightning cage protecting them.

Fortunately, the [Destroy] property of the Black Lightning immediately came into play again, extinguishing these dangerous flames. The children of monsters enveloped by the Black Lightning were not harmed by the flames, except for being slightly heated.

However, despite managing to save her subordinates, Hongye's expression did not improve much; she remained gloomy.

As the flames dissipated, a red dog appeared beside the black cat, and this red dog had a snake-like rune on its forehead.

"Tsk, damn it, there are actually two monsters with snake patterns? That's really something."

Staring at the red dog that appeared and didn't even glance at the demon children around it, only focusing on flirting and showing affection with the black cat, Hongye said through gritted teeth,

“Friends of the Elven race, it is almost impossible for my men to deal with two snake-patterned individuals at the same time, so I’m leaving this newcomer to you.”

Standing behind Red Leaf, the several elves who were acting as the background nodded. One of the elves crushed the seed in its hand used to locate spatial coordinates. The next moment, a war behemoth controlled by an elf skilled in spatial jumping leaped over, carrying several war behemoths that had not yet been activated.

The enormous, faceless, pale humanoid figure rapidly changed after the elves entered. After briefly adjusting to their new bodies, the elves silently charged towards the red dog, Zhu Bi, unleashing a series of buffs and debuffs during their charge.

After Zhu Bi's grand entrance, the monsters seemed to have recovered somewhat from their disadvantage. However, when the elves charged into the battlefield in their individual war beasts, the monsters were once again at a greater disadvantage.

The situation seemed to have returned to what it was just now. Hongye was standing in the ranks, and various monsters were frantically trying to assassinate her. The snake-patterned monsters were hiding in the battlefield. After being found, they were surrounded and had to fight to the death.

Most monsters are born when Gastrea absorbs a certain amount of life essence and activates and utilizes it.

As for the children of monsters, apart from a very few individuals who came from human laboratories, most of them were transformed from cursed children who had mastered the method of becoming monsters.

Yuan Yuan initially scattered a large amount of life essence into the Earth's atmosphere, and almost all life forms accumulated a small amount of life essence within their bodies through respiration. However, most life forms had too little life essence to function effectively, and only those with larger quantities were fortunate enough to develop various abilities.

Children of demons are no exception. They also have a small amount of life essence in their bodies. These rare life essences, which would never be activated under normal circumstances, are attracted by the active life essence inside the demons when fighting them. The most obvious manifestation is that many children of demons find that they suddenly have several more abilities as they fight.

This change is particularly noticeable in the children of monsters who have killed a large number of monsters and accidentally absorbed a certain amount of life essence from the corpses of their opponents.
