"The smell of a sponge..."

"Damn it... I'm allergic to sponges..."

"Oh...this is terrible..."

The deepest trenches on Neptune were now completely filled with eerie green flames. The green flames mingled and boiled with the azure seawater, making the vast trench appear chaotic and murky.

A series of terrifying, insane murmurs echoed from the deepest part of the trench.

The source of the murmurs was an underwater volcano spewing out eerie green flames.

However, the crater of this underwater volcano has cracked and expanded several times over, causing the once towering volcano to shrink to almost the waist.

Because eight enormous, bluish-gray tentacles, arranged in a circular, flower-like pattern, were extending from the crater, tearing and robbing the volcano and the seabed sand and rocks nearby.

From a distance, it looks like a giant blue-gray chrysanthemum blooming in a volcano crater, appearing both mysterious and elegant.

Suddenly, the eight blue-gray tentacles tightened violently.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous, bluish-gray bald head slowly rose from the broken crater.

As this bald head rose...

Neptune's Sun...

It's completely black...

...

"It's getting dark."

Beneath the Holy Void King Tree, which had grown to the sea surface, in the pristine waters illuminated by the Holy Void Light, sat Li Qingyu on his pink heart-shaped ideal bed, gazing at the darkening sun in the sky, and sighed softly.

But before Li Qingyu could continue expressing his feelings...

Suddenly, a long-lost system notification sounded in Li Qingyu's ears.

[System Notification: Brother Cthulhu, the most boring ancient god, the most bitter-faced, and the superdimensional invader Octopus, has broken through the seal of the Chosen One of Neptune's destiny and entered Neptune ahead of schedule due to unforeseen circumstances.]

Due to the complete entry of the super-dimensional invader, Squidward, the viral contamination concentration on Neptune will continue to increase significantly, and the contamination level of all contaminated organisms on Neptune will continue to increase significantly.

[In twenty-four hours, the viral contamination concentration on Poseidon will completely negate the purification capabilities of the Angel Fruit. The competition will end early at that point, and the ocean purification area for each civilization will be calculated based on the area at the end of the competition.]

[Due to the most boring characteristic of the hyperdimensional invader, Squidward, he will not actively attack purified sea areas. All civilizations can rest assured.]

Hey... Squidward! Hey... Squidward!

Li Qingyu was speechless as he looked at the series of system notifications.

What does it mean...?

Unexpected factors?!

Although speechless, Li Qingyu was right about one thing: the match was indeed going to end early.

The competition, originally scheduled for 30 days, was once again successfully shortened to 3 days.

Li Qingyu didn't know what the Seventh Universe System would think, but he guessed that the Seventh Universe System's mood... might not be very pleasant, if systems could have such a thing as moods.

After all... two matches have been played, and neither of them ended normally.

However, Li Qingyu could only guess whether the Seventh Universe System was in a bad mood, but it was certain that he himself was in a bad mood.

Because Li Qingyu knew that even though the system had said that this octopus would not actively attack the purified sea area, that octopus would definitely come looking for him.

After all, that's who he is...

Ah no... well, it was that unexpected factor—the pineapple burger on the back of his hand...

In addition, Li Qingyu finally learned the reason for the pollution of Poseidon Star through system prompts, which was actually similar to his guess.

Sure enough... it was that hyperdimensional invader, Squidward!

Li Qingyu wondered what a coincidence it was, that this world just happened to have a dimensional gap. So this dimensional gap was the source of Neptune's contamination, and Neptune had even arranged for the chosen one to seal it off.

However, none of that mattered to Li Qingyu anymore. The most important thing for him now was how to deal with the arrival of Octopus Brother.

Thinking about this...

Li Qingyu turned to look at Hua Mulan, who was also sitting on the ideal bed, head down, focused on playing PUBG.

At this point, Mulan has completely changed her art style...

If the original Mulan had a children's chibi cartoon style, then the current Mulan has a youthful, anime-style art style.

Although the head is still big and the arms and legs are still thin, it's at least not as exaggerated as it was in the chibi version. At least now the head looks much smaller than the body, and the height has increased a bit.

Unlike before, when Li Qingyu was always worried that Mulan's neck would suddenly break, because at that time Mulan's head was at least twice the size of her body!

Well... in short.

The current Mulan, although not as cute as the original, looks almost like a human.

Dark Mulan

Rank: Eight Stars

Rarity: SSR

[Attribute: Chaos, Evil]

In an unknown world, she experienced all the evil and suffering. She crawled out of the darkest abyss, slaughtered all living beings, and destroyed everything.

[Skills: Extremely Evil Leader, Death Intuition, Still as a Shadow, Swift as the Wind, Immovable as a Mountain, Fierce as Fire, High-Level Maneuvering, General of Ten Thousand Battles.]

Living in the past will cause you to miss the present forever...

Yes, that's why the art style of Mulan changed.

It's because... Mulan has already completed her transformation! Just as Li Qingyu imagined, the Extreme Evil Commander reached the hundredth level and directly completed her transformation.
