Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"Is everything I've done... nothing more than a clown playing a boring trick on you, God?"

As the body gradually turned to ashes, the being named Merlin Cavendish left behind only this question before vanishing completely before everyone's eyes.

[I just think your face is irritating, you're overthinking things... If we don't kill the noobs in the raid, do you think you'll just pick up the scraps later?]

Do I look like an idiot or a moron...?

Tian Qixiao silently rolled his eyes and looked at the remaining three people in front of him... The latter seemed to still be in shock at the instant death of one of their companions...

"You...you...you you—you took her!"

"Killed, what? You can't even speak properly anymore—and you still have the audacity to claim you can save the world...?"

Looking at the Nine Heavens of Penglai Temple pointing at her, Miss Tianqi curled her lip in disdain—

[Ha, little brat—when I was your age, I was always the first one to join a group buy, you noob.]

"What do you think human life is?!"

"Heh—want to hear the truth?"

Tian Qixiao smiled—

"The answer is nothing... The Lord doesn't care, just as you don't care how many chickens, pigs, cows, or sheep are killed for a sumptuous dinner."

Having thoroughly studied "How Villainous Characters Should Speak" and mastered the art of it, Miss Apocalypse had now raised the hate level of the three-person team to its highest point...

"Besides... I just did what you wanted to do, but didn't dare to do—"

Just as the three-person team was about to make a move against Miss Apocalypse, she changed the subject, steer the conversation in another direction.

"What do you mean?!"

Kiana was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tianqi Xiao in front of her, who seemed to be planning to punch her hard in the face...

"What do I mean...? That's an interesting question—don't you understand? I just did what you wanted to do but didn't dare to do."

"—You, all of you, Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, and Horaiji Kusho, you don't actually like her at all, you don't like Merlin Cavendish at all."

“You all dislike this self-proclaimed magician, who dances like a clown between destiny and anti-entropy, treating the Valkyrie’s life as a bargaining chip or even as worthless, the leader of the Human Alliance.”

"And I, I just did what you all wanted to do—"

"Kill her."

Apocalypse approached the three of them slowly, as if taking a stroll, using words to manipulate them, attempting to make them realize their true inner thoughts...

"And your anger is not the anger of seeing your companions, friends, lovers, or teachers killed before your eyes and being powerless to stop it..."

“You’re just annoyed because life is dying, that’s all—even if I went and grabbed a cute cat or dog and strangled it in front of you.”

“Your reactions will all be much stronger than they are now—”

“You don’t care about this person, not even afterwards, when you think of Merlin Cavendish, who has completely disappeared…”

"There might even be a sense of relief—"

Chapter 567

Queen Sirin's professional guidance

"Ghost, where did Jiuxiao learn all these sassy lines from...?"

On the other side of the moon, Miss Snow, who was working with the Will-Unifying Body on some necessary preparations, watched the live broadcast in the distance while carrying out her work, managing to balance work and entertainment...

"Your partner is incredibly professional when it comes to playing the role of the 'villain' in the definition of intelligent beings... She almost convinced the three people in front of her."

Similarly, the generalist, who was also watching the show while working, highly praised Miss Jiuxiao's work....

"Persuading them is one thing, but fighting is another. These people will probably end up fighting amongst themselves..."

"Speaking of which, should we ask Jiuxiao to let Kiana over... then we can just keep the other two there and be done with it..."

Miss Snow, seemingly having a new idea, looked to the overarching entity for its opinion...

"This is the optimal solution, guest. I don't want any other humans to interfere with our plans... and due to past factors, we don't like that individual named Raiden Mei."

"She is an extremely unstable factor for Kiana as an individual—if she insists on coming after us, we will eliminate her if necessary, based on our judgment."

"I suspect you don't even want to assess the situation... just eliminate her if she dares to follow..."

Hearing the deep resentment in the leader's words, Miss Snow's lips twitched...

"How much of a problem do you all have with her...?"

"If it weren't for the individual named Raiden Mei, this little ancestor would have come back after getting tired of playing in the very first era. Do you understand now...?"

The overlord narrowed its large eyes, and the blonde girl could sense a deep resentment emanating from it.

"A kidnapper... well, that's alright then—"

Miss Snow shrugged, indicating her understanding, and then made a call...

"Nine Heavens?"

"Is something wrong with you? I'm just fooling another version of myself... It's really funny to see her questioning the meaning of life."

"Yes, it's related to your side... The overarching entity says that as long as Kiana is brought over, it's fine—as for the other you, it depends on the situation. Raiden Mei from this world absolutely cannot be brought over."

[Hmm... I bet if Raiden Mei from this world dared to follow, that overlord would just kill her on the spot, right?]

"That's right... don't let her come over... we'll have a huge headache."

[Understood. By the way, how's the progress with Fu Hua and Kiana?]

"Over there... the Ancestor went over there too. Now Kevin and Fu Hua are pretending to fight back and forth with that group of Will Links and Kiana..."

Snow glanced at the Earth's position—

Yes, it's very lively.

-------------------------------------

"Move to a new position, quickly!!"

Compared to the three on the moon who were relatively better off after being stopped by Apocalypse, the situation on the Void Front was now quite dire...

"The third and fourth lines of defense have been breached—but the giant life form has not yet decided to continue its attack after evaporating two lines of defense."

"Our intelligence personnel deduced that such high-energy artillery fire would also be a considerable burden for this creature."

In the command base, Situ Qinghong and Theresa frowned as they looked at the battle report.

What is the current situation on the second front?

Situ Qinghong looked towards the Second Front, which was currently at the forefront of the battle, and inquired about the battle situation.

"The second front is engaged in fierce fighting with the Honkai creatures, but casualties are currently within an acceptable range—"

"Inform the artillery and attack aircraft units to abandon their attack on that giant energy object in the air. They are just making a pointless attack. Instruct them to focus their efforts on assisting the ground forces in clearing out the Honkai creatures on the ground."

Situ Qinghong looked at the will-linked entity that had stopped moving forward in the air and made a decision.

"Where is the Crimson Iris Immortal—?"

Theresa then focused on another issue—

"After the war started, we lost contact with the immortals—perhaps the immortals had their own ideas and methods."

Situ Qinghong shook her head, indicating that she didn't know where that "Fu Hua" lady had gone...

"Speaking of which, that immortal didn't seem like an immortal at all... He didn't match the descriptions of the immortals I'd read about in books about China at all..."

Theresa curled her lips... seemingly searching for a suitable description to describe someone who was read as the Crimson Iris Immortal, or written as the Herald of Knowledge. Because of the difference in a certain rule between the two worlds, the people of the Human Union did not recognize that the immortal was a Herald.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! You old fogey, don't pinch my ear!!!"

Just as Situ Qinghong and Theresa were marveling at how a certain immortal didn't resemble an immortal at all, but rather some kind of street thug or gang leader, and began to wonder if the original prototype of the Taixu Battlefront was some kind of underworld organization called the Taixu Gang, a voice interrupted their reverie.

"......???"

"Wait... two Crimson Iris Immortals?!"

Situ Qinghong and Theresa, who turned their attention to the newcomers, were immediately stunned.... At the door, one Fu Hua was pinching the ear of another Fu Hua, muttering to the latter with an expression that said, "Your mother is scolding you."

"Thank you both for taking care of the child these past few days. I am very grateful."

Before the two could react, Fu Hua immediately released Shi Bao and bowed to them with her hands clasped in a gesture of respect.

"Ah... I dare not accept such praise—you flatter me, Immortal."

Situ Qinghong and Theresa returned the greeting with trepidation, feeling deeply honored that their ancestor, who was several times their age, had thanked them.

"But, Immortal, you say this is your child...?"

"Let's just call it that—it's fine to consider it a demon born from obsession... But since it's not inherently bad, I'll keep it by my side."

Fu Hua continued spouting nonsense without batting an eye, all the while mentally contacting Kiana, who was playing a crucial role in the situation...

Kiana, it's time for you to make your appearance—

...

"Kiana received—"

"Hey, you know how to get on the field now, right? Want me to fill in for you?"

On Kiana's side, it seems there's an extra person in the otherworldly travel group—the Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, the larger one, of course, while the smaller one is exchanging ideas about art with Gretchen.

"Got it, got it—it needs to have enough momentum, then it needs to be imposing, and it also needs to use the influence of Honkai energy to create some tangible pressure..."

"That's right, exactly—and when you look someone in the eye, you must have a disdainful and contemptuous expression, and try to avoid looking someone directly in the eye when you're not fighting—"

"The key is to maintain a sideways gaze, understand? Turn your head to the side and look down from above. That's how you create the aura of a major villain! And you must occupy a high position. If you stand at a low position, your presence will be inherently weaker."

Like Jiuxiao, who specializes in villainy on the moon, a certain queen is also an expert in this field.

"Got it, got it—I'm going now, the class monitor sent a message."

"Okay—don't forget what I told you!"
