Inside the dilapidated villa, only the enormous human body lying helplessly and Gu Li, nailed to the side, whose body was constantly oozing blood, remained.

Sherley made a few sarcastic remarks and then left.

Before leaving, he suddenly stopped, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked down at her: "The newly chosen heir is only this good... It's only natural that I would kill him."

"But I won't kill you. I made a pact with Him. Heh heh~ If we're lucky, we might meet again in a different guise, hahaha!"

Gu Li's lifeless blue eyes stared at the sky, listening to his departing footsteps, and her fingers, which were placed in front of her, twitched almost imperceptibly.

The blood scattered on the ground stirred. The bone whale that had been circling in the sky had long since disappeared, but occasionally its pale tail could still be seen swaying through the clouds.

Gu Li's lifeless eyes trembled.

Move...get moving!

The blood surrounding her seemed to move as if it were alive, and then this almost imperceptible tremor, along the veins that were sucking her life, gradually pulsated and entered the pale container.

Light footsteps were heard in the square in front of the Presidential Palace.

Despite the chaotic sounds of the battlefield, the few people locked in combat immediately turned their gaze toward the direction of the newcomers.

With traces of blood still on his face, Shirley smiled and extended his hand to them: "Hey everyone, long time no see."

He Shiyi's longsword paused, only to be instantly deflected by Stephen, as a massive, almost overwhelming monster descended from behind him like a shadow.

His dark eyes instantly locked onto Shirley.

He was brought back to his senses by Stephen's longsword aimed straight at his vital points. The shadow behind He Shiyi was stirring. He looked at Stephen and said, "Is this your plan, teacher?"

Stephen flipped over to dodge He Shiyi's attack, while simultaneously widening the gap between them.

He took two steps back and gracefully sheathed his sword: "I don't recall ever teaching you to be distracted during a fight."

He Shiyi stared at him.

Stephen sighed and turned to Shelley, who was walking towards him, asking, "Where's our little grain?"

Sheri slowly walked over. Some ignorant alien creatures tried to approach, but were pierced through the body by a longsword that suddenly appeared and pinned to the wall.

He shrugged: "Hahaha, that's it, it's stuck to the ground with a bang!"

The arena fell silent for a moment as attacks from different directions converged on him.

The enormous shadow behind He Shiyi stirred, its flesh and tentacles, shrouded in black mist, trembled, and suddenly swept towards Xie Li with extreme killing intent.

Xie Li laughed as he was mercilessly slammed into the ground, which began to tremble. Then, a gigantic black hand emerged from the ground, forcefully piercing through the part of He Shiyi's body that he was controlling.

It was a strange creature tens of meters tall, barely retaining a human form, its skin ulcerated into a pitch-black color, and its body wrapped in yellowish bandages.

He effortlessly dealt with Lancerevich's attacks, continuing, "I used to have some prejudice against that child, but after seeing him today, I'm sure you were right!"

"Those dull, sky-blue eyes, and those long, light-gold hairs scattered messily on the ground—they're simply a masterpiece!"

Levi and Lancer, now fully revealing their advanced forms, unleashed their scattered tentacles that swept towards Shelly, crushing everything in their path.

Levi's face darkened: "I've had enough of your incessant nagging. After all these years, you're still the same disgusting person you are."

Lancer wrapped himself around Shirley from behind, his tentacles, infused with potent venom, enveloping him: "Shirley, what did you say?!"

A tongue protruded from Shelly's enormous skull, and a mouth on the tongue emitted a boastful laugh.

"Hahahaha, of course you understand what I mean! Lancer, it's exactly what you think, making that child the heir is what harmed her, hahahahaha!"

“Her body and her spirit will soon become nourishment for Nicholas,” he casually tore off the tentacles wrapped around his body, and continued, “while I will become the new—god!”

Lancer was caught off guard and thrown out, crashing into a large number of houses.

Levi crouched low, several weapons gripping his tentacles, and charged forward the instant Lancer was thrown down: "You will absolutely pay for your actions, She-Levi—"

Shirley watched as Levi approached, countless blades appearing around him as he laughed loudly, pointing them at Levi: "Hahahaha, all you do is talk big! You want to kill me? Come and try!"

Levi was one of the best swordsmen of his generation. His sword-wielding tentacles almost created afterimages in the air, knocking away all the swords and blades coming his way.

But those hidden blades seemed to attack again endlessly.

Before Shirley appeared, he had already fought against hundreds of monsters that were close to the level of a familiar. Faced with such an intense attack, defense alone was already the limit.

"Damn it! I can't get close at all!"

He Shiyi, who had been standing silently since Xie Li began speaking, raised his head and threw the longsword in his hand backward.

The enormous monster that emerged from the shadow beneath their feet immediately opened its mouth and devoured it. He Shiyi stretched out his hand and pointed forward at Xie Li, while the dark figure behind him grew even larger.

"Shelly".

His body fell backward as the terrifying, shadowy figure stretched out behind him, finally merging completely into the darkness.

"You're right, I regret it."

It was enormous, like the deepest darkness that terrifies the human heart, or a creature born from the deepest part of the eternal night sky, emitting strange low moans.

"I shouldn't have let you stay in the Legion in the first place, you scum."

He Shiyi's true form was shrouded in a thick black mist, his enormous, twisted flesh and tentacles appearing as if they had been kneaded and pieced together by an invisible giant hand.

The mist around He Shiyi slowly spread, encompassing the entire square and turning it into his domain, with countless tentacles reaching out from the shadows on the ground.

It was irresistible to drag all the remaining alien species into the shadows.

Stephen removed his top hat, revealing the enormous, protruding head of his head, and bowed slightly: "Then I'll take my leave."

Eric's blood-stained cane struck the ground, blocking his path. Several pairs of eyes turned to him simultaneously, his voice filled with a calm yet furious tone: "Perfect, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

Levi and Lancer were forced to retreat, leaving the battlefield to He Shiyi.

Levi slammed his longsword into the ground: "That bastard, I will watch him die a painful, desperate, and swift death with my own eyes!"

Lancer scratched his head with one of his tentacles and looked at the ruins as if he had just realized something.

"Can you feel it? Something is coming back to life."

The ruins began to tremble before the eyes of the two and dozens of pairs of people, and the snow-white container also trembled, barely managing to straighten its body from the ruins.

Levi: "...He is afraid? What is that?!"
