Brain bloom

Today has been truly a day of many misfortunes...

Early in the morning, the elite city defense troops, who had been stationed in the city for so many years and had hardly ever been mobilized, were unusually deployed. They reportedly engaged in a fierce battle with a small group of Evil Mist, suffering significant losses. This was somewhat understandable, given that they had indeed encountered Evil Mist.

But before peace could arrive, a series of strange events began to occur.

What kind of divine power turns the entire world silvery-white? Who has ever seen such a thing? It's terrifying! It scared several elderly heart patients to death... or rather, they were summoned to heaven by the coffin bearers?

Three waves of divine power were bad enough, but interspersed among them were incredibly terrifying evil forces, a massive power that seemed to be the manifestation of a true god, and gold coins that inexplicably smashed through the glass and were thrown in...

Finally, there were even natural disasters that appeared out of nowhere. They witnessed hurricanes appear out of thin air and volcanoes erupt from the ground. Just when all the residents felt hopeless and were preparing to die, these disasters vanished as if nothing had happened...

This is far from over!

The pounding of my heart every few seconds is absolutely torture.

Every resident of Silver Ring City wondered if they were living in a dream. If it wasn't a dream, why not just kill them all sooner? At least death would be peaceful, and no one would have to live in fear after death.

That's not it—

Another strange thing happened.

That was an unprecedented thunderclap.

In the sunset scene, it seemed as if the sky was about to be split open, and amidst the booming thunder, people throughout the city dared not look directly at it, for fear that the frequent and intense lightning would burn their eyelids.

The thunderous power seemed poised to shatter heaven and earth, a hundred times louder than the beating heart of the primordial evil in the distance. It was also mixed with the divine power of antiquity and the pent-up rage of millennia.

“This is a thundercloud worm…and…it has lived for at least a thousand years!” A knowledgeable ancient master craftsman murmured in despair, “Divine punishment.”

"What exactly did we do wrong?" Everyone was pondering this question.

And—can Silver Ring City still be preserved?

……

The thundercloud worms are venting their anger, expressing their power to shatter the heavens.

Sen Shi felt the thunder at the closest distance and panicked.

But she kept reminding herself not to be weak. She still held the sealed shovel in her hand, ready to plunge it into the Thundercloud Worm whenever she wanted, turning it into a silent white cloud, perhaps a little larger.

But she can't do that.

Instead, she had to tame this ferocious beast, to control it. Even if she couldn't do that, she at least had to understand it... Otherwise, how could she help Yuan?

"Shut up, put away your thunder!!! Heed my command!"

Without saying a word, Mori changed into the title of Coffin Sender and stomped down hard with divine power.

"You have no right to command me, much less to control my destiny, you unknown god." A muffled sound came from the clouds, a very ancient and aged voice. "If you had freed me last time, I would have gladly obeyed you... You gave me a brief hope, but brought me an even heavier despair!!"

Mori could tell that the Thundercloud Insect's voice was tinged with grievance; it was probably still holding a grudge about what happened last time.

However, one should not pity it, but rather overpower it.

"—Do you want things to get any more desperate?!"

"No... I don't want to think about it anymore."

"Then obey me! I'll give you your freedom! This broken shovel will never bind you again, so behave yourself."

"You have no right—huh? Four...four...four seasons?!"

"Yes."

After a brief silence, the violent thunder gradually subsided, and the thundercloud worm asked softly—

"Since you are a Four Seasons Being... you will give me my freedom, right?"

"Ah."

"Where is my child? You won't do what those humans do and take it away to eat, will you?" It was still uneasy, letting out some crackling sounds, as if in protest.

Sen knew what it referred to. The last time he mined on it, he had unearthed a cloud egg of a thundercloud worm, a white cloud ball like a cotton candy. It was a small life sealed inside its belly.

"You will all be free."

Where do you want to go?

"Can you hear the beating of the heart of primordial evil?"

"Then go crush it!"

The Thunderstorm Cloud Worm has already set sail towards 1848. It is enormous and its speed is equally terrifying. The fierce wind at high altitude cuts into Mori's face like ice blades, but this means that it will arrive at its destination soon.

Fortunately, the adventure was a success.

Having reached an agreement with the other party, Mori Toki was finally able to relax. She removed the title of Coffin Conveyor and let go of the majesty of the true god. Then she lay down on a cloud, feeling the cloud pillow, while gazing up at the night sky.

This will be her last moment of leisure before she arrives at the battlefield.

It felt quite nice; the clouds were soft, and there were faint electric currents running through them, giving her a comfortable, tingling sensation. As if sensing that she needed to rest, the Thunderstorm Cloud Worm raised a little cloud, adding a blanket and pillow for her.

However, the movement of the thunderstorm cloud worms is quite loud.

Like a high-yield nuclear bomb about to be detonated, it drifted freely in the sky. Its violent temper made every living thing in its path tremble, an instinctive tremor.

But there are also those who are not afraid of it—

There was a beautifully shaped Sunset Cloud Insect that looked at least several hundred years old, and greeted us with a sweet voice.

"Hey brother, why are you so angry? Why don't you relax with me? Look at how barren these fields are, they need some thunderstorms to nourish them!"

"I am female."

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"But... I'm in a hurry to blast away the primordial evil..." it hesitated.

Seeing this, Mori quickly scolded, "Get out of here! You haven't even given birth yet! If you really want to have sex, come back after you're done!"

"Hmm... Season One is right."

"Oh my, it's actually a living Four Seasons Being?" Sunset Cloud Insect was surprised to see Mori. "Then I won't hold you back, but please be careful and keep Hodge alive. In any case, this world still needs peace. Well then, Thunderstorm Cloud Elder Sister, remember to look for me later~~ I'll be waiting for you."

"Um……"

Perhaps it had been holding back for a thousand years, the Thunderstorm Cloud Worm was itching to get back. It set off for 1848 at an even faster speed, surely remembering to finish its business and rush back to do that good deed of nourishing the earth with the Sunset Cloud Worm.

Sen ignored these things and did not lie down to rest.

Because she heard—that hidden within this seemingly romantic chance encounter in the air was a strange message.

"Why did that cloud girl say to let Hodge live?"

"To be precise, just let the evil god Hodge live... I think she can tolerate the rest."

"she?"

“Annie Hodge…don’t provoke her.”

Volume 1 #I, Yue, am back!

As the title says! I, Yue Mouren... no, Yue Mouge, am back! After a few days of rest, I'm fully recovered!

I was thinking that since I'd already missed my perfect attendance bonus for the month, I'd been a bit lazy. Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry!!

It's past midnight!!

Moreover, starting next month, I'll be updating three times a day, aiming for 18 words per month. My explosive update plan is in full swing...

What will become of them?! Stay tuned for the next installment of "Brains Explode"!

Okay, I'm going to sleep now. I'll try to get up early to write! Goodnight.

Volume 1, Chapter 326: Island Landing Operation

As night approaches—the early winter frost has already made the wind biting.

After exhaling a breath of white air, he couldn't help but wrap a little bit of his spiritual energy around his fingertips, turning it into a leaping, dim black flame that dispelled the surrounding chill.

Perhaps because she had spent too long in the realm of demons and become accustomed to the warmth of the fire demons, she was not good at coping with such a winter. And the demonic aura that she intentionally or unintentionally exuded made the night wind even more fond of her.

She walked in the night like a black, ghostly shadow, enough to instill fear in any creature that witnessed her. Yet, her swaying figure also possessed a strange, luminous quality, drawing the attention of everything in the night.

Even on the island of 1848, the lifeless monsters were no exception.

The shadows of the night conceal many ominous omens.

The lurking, ominous fog conceals countless monsters, a nightmare for the human world. But for Yuan, it's nothing to worry about. A simple tap and they'll vanish into thin air.

By 1848, it was completely different from what it used to be.

When the ancient Demon King wished to wander through the human world, he gifted him a travel guide that detailed the situation in 1848. It said the inhabitants were few and the people were wicked, but the vegetation and environment were beautiful, making it an interesting tourist destination.

But now it seems that all the plants that should have been green are still withered.

The ominous fog devoured all life, turning the soil and everything else into black sand and gravel.

—"Thump." Like the lowest note of a piano, the thunderous sound of a huge heart indicates that the primordial evil is getting closer and closer to awakening.

She wanted to quicken her pace, eager to crush Hodge and pay back all the debts she'd been owed. But Hodge wasn't stupid; he clearly sensed her arrival. Finally, in the night, an enemy dared to confront her directly.

At first, a dragon appeared, as huge as a small castle.

Although it was an unknown dragon species, it was quite powerful. Its flesh and blood had been devoured, leaving only withered, black bones, but this did not diminish the dragon pressure it exuded. The withered, black dragon opened its massive jaws and lunged at Yuan.

The stench of death was so strong that even the lurking Evil Mist had to avoid it.

This thing is very strong; perhaps it's a marine species? She thought about it for a moment, then realized she knew too little, so she stopped thinking about it. She waved her hand, and the monster was instantly blasted away by an invisible force, turning into a thin sheet of paper.

"It's quite hard."

Having said that, I wished to crush its thin corpse and walk deeper into the depths.

Her future is becoming increasingly bright.

However, she hadn't walked far when, upon entering a plain devoid of vegetation, another group of unruly creatures emerged. This time, the monsters, having been gnawed to pieces by the Evil Mist, were more intimidating than the last, as there were about twenty of them in total. Besides these, there were also some strangely shaped things.

Half of it was the entire force under the command of the Sea God.
