Originally, whether or not the little witch was killed was irrelevant to Li Qingyu. But the situation is different now. With the constant threat of Squidward, Li Qingyu has no intention of keeping an unstable element around.

Even if it's just a suspicion...

There's no need to overthink it...

"Just kill him. He's not Chinese, so it won't break the law..." Li Qingyu was naturally fearless.

Of course, there was another reason: Li Qingyu wanted to kill! The suppressed, brutal desires of the Sword of Defeat and Betrayal needed an outlet. And the little witch... well, luckily became that outlet...

Watching the headless corpse slowly sink into the sea, Li Qingyu asked himself a question.

Is Crimson truly dead?

[Crimson: I...I'm not dead...]

I wasn't asking you, I was asking about Mu Xi...

Li Qingyu's lips twitched; he knew that Crimson's worst-case scenario mode had been activated...

[Crimson: It's completely soaked in, completely dead!]

Hmm...that's good....

Li Qingyu nodded. Sure enough, under the primal blow of the sword of failure and betrayal, beheading was the best way to kill the enemy.

No matter what bizarre life-saving abilities they possess, they cannot survive the source-tracing attack; they will die instantly if their heads are chopped off!

Sudden...

Bang!

A cloud of white steam rose around Mu Xi's body in the seawater.

Um!??

Li Qingyu frowned.

What the heck?

Soon, the steam dissipated, and another familiar corpse appeared, half-human, half-doll...

This is... Morley, whom he beheaded!

Was it because the body Mu Xi had collected that it fell down automatically?

Looking at the two headless corpses about to disappear into the sea, and the two lifeless heads, Li Qingyu narrowed his eyes.

Let's take it back and study it... It's a shame to waste it!

Thinking of this, Li Qingyu was just about to order the assassin to go down and collect the body when...

Suddenly.

Click!

The surrounding space froze.

Then, an enormous, bluish-gray tentacle covered with countless suckers rapidly extended from the void.

Suddenly, the ideal bed, along with Li Qingyu and Hua Mulan on it, was pulled directly into the void. Seeing Li Qingyu being dragged away, the husky nearby quickly reacted and followed the blue-gray tentacle into the void.

Only the leaderless groundhog army and the bewildered assassin remained on the spot.

"Daddy...where did you go?"

As for the bodies of Muxi and Moli, they continued to sink silently in the seawater.

Two identical corpses and two extremely similar heads suddenly approached each other slowly under the influence of an unknown force.

Until...

They embraced each other completely.

"Grandma...Little Anna...misses Grandma..."

Suddenly, Molly's half-face, which belonged to the doll, opened its eyes.

The black, worn-out button's eyes revealed a pitiful look, just like a little girl abandoned by her parents.

...

"Lena, do you think Muxi will successfully merge with the dollhouse?"

"Hehehe...probably. They are sisters with twin forbidden-level talents. Once they merge, their talents will definitely reach the rule level! At that time, we won't even need to wait for the next match; this match alone will be enough to wipe out the entire human race!"

"Sigh... I didn't expect the student council to release Morley for this reason. After all, forbidden-level talents are immortal. When the talent inheritor dies, the talent is transferred. Morley died, so the talent naturally transferred to her sister."

"Hehehe... not necessarily. What if it was inherited by some half-puppet? It's hard to say."

"What's there to be sure about? Logically speaking, the automatic transfer of forbidden-level talents will only be transferred to the witch who is closest to and most intimate with them. It's definitely Mu Xi who obtained it."

"Hehehe...you're right...."

"Sigh... I wonder what kind of talent will result from merging a dollhouse and a dessert shop? I can't wait!"

"Hehehe... Doll Dessert Shop?"

While Lena and Saya continued their tedious wait, chatting about gossip in between.

"My little magical cutie...hehehe..."

A terrifying, hoarse sound, carrying a strong, cold, and rotten aura, slowly echoed around this small landmass.

The arrival of this cold, decaying aura caused the four white lotuses surrounding this small landmass to gradually dim. It seemed that the peace and tranquility of the white lotuses could only combat the virus native to Neptune Star, but could not combat this strange, cold decay.

In the center of the small landmass, Lena and Saya, who were lying on beach chairs, drinking tea and chatting, suddenly felt their bodies stiffen.

"What's with this feeling of dread... Lena, can you feel it... this feeling of encountering a natural enemy?" Saya asked Lena beside her, sitting up from the beach chair with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Lena sat up as well, looking at the flickering white light around her with a grave expression. She said with a grim face, "It seems that these are not native creatures of Neptune Star. Those native creatures contaminated by the virus cannot break through the blockade of the Angel Lotus."

"Not a native creature?!" Shaya's eyes widened in surprise, and she said hesitantly, "It can't be a random player from some civilization, can it? Or maybe that superdimensional invader, Octopus Brother?"

"I don't know, but it's probably not a superdimensional intruder. Since the system said it wouldn't run around, it's impossible for it to come here."

"Then..." Just as Saya was about to ask a question.

"Hehehe... My little darlings... what are you talking about?"

A terrifying whisper rang in Saya and Lena's ears, causing the unsuspecting Lena and Saya to widen their eyes in shock.

.........

After rolling around with Mulan on the ideal bed for a while, Li Qingyu found himself in a place filled with eerie green flames.

Before him, an enormous, blue-gray octopus sat quietly atop a towering volcano.

At this moment, the ideal bed he and Mulan were sitting on was being held aloft by one of the octopus's enormous tentacles. Fortunately, the tentacle didn't break through the space on the ideal bed, indicating that the ideal bed's ability to shield against physical influences was still holding up.

After glancing at the countless suckers in front of him, Li Qingyu turned his gaze to the enormous octopus.

No need to think, it's definitely Squidward...

Li Qingyu never expected that after preparing his troops and standing ready for battle under the Holy Void King Tree for half a day, he would be captured by Squidward in the end.
