Infected at the start and exiled to the City of Strange Species.
Octopus extended its tentacles: What is this? Let's suck it!
Goat extended its hooves: What is this? Let's suck ...
As the battle on the rooftop escalated to a new level, a line of large red characters suddenly appeared on the StarNet live stream.
[We advise viewers to watch the following footage with caution. If you feel uncomfortable, please log off immediately and go to the nearest hospital. If you do not feel uncomfortable, please leave the live stream temporarily.]
The large text occupied almost half of the screen and scrolled on, completely obscuring the images of Henry Witt and Eric.
[I was too talkative...]
[If you can't watch this, then don't. The hospital entrance is already packed with people... Where am I supposed to sit?]
[Good grief, so you all went to the hospital entrance to see it because we told you not to, huh?!]
[I'm speechless. I wonder if this building can even hold on. It feels like the new handsome guy and the guy across the street are going to tear this building down.]
[Is this Mr. Rossini Eric? Those who frequently watch the news know that he's been making waves in Parliament lately.]
[Do you have any requirements regarding appearance or style for the members of your alien city?]
[No, I'm more concerned about Prince Guli sitting on Eric's shoulders. He looks so small, cough, no, so delicate. Won't he fall off?]
For some reason, the live stream was not taken down by the platform, but the number of viewers was declining at an extremely rapid pace.
There have been viewers in various hospitals within the safe zone who were admitted for treatment due to improper viewing of the live stream.
The rest were mostly strong and determined young people who held their breath as they watched the battle between the two monsters on screen, which made the building tremble.
Gradually, all the sound faded away.
Gu Li sat on Eric's shoulders, looking at Henry Witt, whose body had also changed shape, his face solemn in contrast to Eric's.
The final, satisfying conclusion is that Eric is still the most handsome!
The one on the other side is at best a second-rate product.
Eric held a rapier, his upper body, which was more like a beast, was still barely covered by a tattered white shirt, while his lower body still maintained a human shape, except that his calves had turned back into curved goat hooves.
He suddenly flipped the hand holding the rapier, casually took a step to the side, parried the bone whip that came from behind, and gently put his other hand around Gu Li's shoulder.
Gu Li remained unfazed as the bone whip slashed past his eyes, watching Eric flip his wrist and slam it into Henry's waist with a loud thud. Henry's black figure flew backward and crashed into a building across the street.
Eric jumped off the rooftop with Gu Li, and in mid-air, he quickly exchanged blows with Henry, who suddenly appeared in front of him.
Henry appeared behind the two of them, laughing loudly. He lashed out at Gu Li with his bone whip, while his other hand clawed at her neck. "You'd better come back with me. Your servants are too rude. If you want to play this kind of game, I can play with you!"
A rapier appeared with incredible speed between the dark hand and the chestnut, Eric's voice was calm and elegant, but not overly so.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to poach someone's talent right in front of me?"
Henry Witt looked at him defiantly.
"Fall down."
The words, spoken with heavy force, suddenly came out, and the smile on Henry's face froze. His body fell uncontrollably downwards, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a deep crater.
His half-human, half-monster face lifted upwards, his pupils suddenly contracting. Above them, a huge bone whale appeared, swimming freely. As if sensing his gaze, it let out a joyful cry.
With that sound, Eric's downward momentum accelerated, and Gu Li watched with pleasure as the disgusting smile on Henry Witt's face finally disappeared.
Eric's tall figure landed with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. The blade moved with lightning speed, severing Henry's arm in an instant.
Eric stepped on Henry's leg, stopping his movement. His face, which appeared in the live broadcast room, was as handsome and composed as ever, but his voice sounded like a demon crawling out of hell.
"Perhaps you have some misunderstanding. His Highness Gu Li is the king we recognize. If you have offended us, then pay for it with your cheap life."
Henry Witt's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and his body, lying amidst the ruins, seemed to be weighed down by tens of tons, rendering him unable to move.
As Eric sang in an aria-like tone, the damned rapier suddenly pierced his heart.
Henry's strange face twitched, then he suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahaha...hahahahahahahaha!"
His life was slipping away, yet he laughed maniacally, oblivious to the danger. Finally, as the cold light pierced him once more, Henry smiled and said, "You really aren't insects under the Mother Goddess's command..."
Gu Li frowned as if sensing something, jumped off Eric's shoulder, and squatted down in front of Henry Witt.
Henry watched her approach, his gaze lingering on the wound on her hand. He greedily licked his lips and continued, "Want to know why?"
Above the sky, Grantham's ships began to retreat one after another, seemingly deciding to abandon their commander.
Henry, on the verge of death on the ground, seemed oblivious: "I want... a trade."
His words were unclear, but Gu Li understood what he meant and placed his still not fully healed hand above his cheek.
Before Eric could stop her, she quickly pinched open the unhealed wound, and drops of blood fell onto Henry's face.
He licked his lips with a look of ecstasy before saying, "Those of us who have been baptized by the Mother Goddess have long since escaped the fate of death. Such gentle methods... cannot kill me, hmph~"
