A strange, acrid smell filled the air. Dark purple lightning flashed along the serpentine body, accompanied by thunder, and debris flew into the low-pressure fog. The ground cracked open, and the black serpent's tail finally emerged from the thick fog.
Shekh, appearing in a half-human, half-snake form, broke through the limits of her physical body. Her enormous size contrasted sharply with the mountain range severed by her snake tail. In the dim and hazy scene, she stood upright, and her extremely divine and oppressive form made the onlookers realize how insignificant they were.
The calm breathing struck one's heart heavily; the enormous body, transcending space, was not only a snake's tail but also a human upper body.
She looked as if she could crush a city with one hand, and her downward gaze directly evoked the deep-seated fear that humanity felt when facing threats in ancient times.
Sheh opened her arms, holding firmly the dark longbow and arrows that defied all rules in her hands. Nocking the arrow, she aimed at Sun Ao's mother's fragile and small body.
She was well-prepared for the arrow that would carry slaughter and destruction. A black thread, so fine it was invisible, was fixed to the arrowhead. Purple mist emanated from the blade. Sheh loosened her fingers little by little, letting the taut bowstring creak under its strain, until finally, she released even one finger.
Finally! A whooshing sound rang out!
The extremely deadly arrow condensed in the air, transforming from wildness to precision, and fiercely swooped down into the woman's curled-up, concealed abdomen. In the instant the arrowhead pierced through her belly, Shekh followed closely behind, pulling out Sun Ao, who was hidden inside his mother's womb.
"Got you!"
He is the anchor that the black mist fixes in this world. Sun Ao always wanted to escape, but his mother refused to let go. She hid the child in her womb. The alien scene they saw on the third floor was a psychological reflection of Sun Ao's mother.
That doorway, with its blood-red membrane and thick, soft flesh, represents the womb where a mother nurtures her baby!
The fact that black and red can appear at the same time in Heart Inn is also due to this reason for their competition and cooperation.
The mother, who was completely obedient to her husband and unwilling to let go, knowingly allowed an innocent girl to carry on his family line despite knowing that her son preferred men. Her protection became the root cause of Sun Ao being discovered by Shehe.
Sun Ao was even more useless. He was restricted by the power given to him by the black mist and could not escape because he was wrapped in red flesh. Just like his incompetence and lack of opinions, he could only spread resentment but was a useless piece of trash who could not bear responsibility until his death!
Fortunately, he was useless, which allowed his mother to control him, who possessed the power of black mist. It was fate that their mother-son relationship unexpectedly reflected this umbilical cord, which is why this wisp of black mist could be locked up by the red flesh and blood.
Pulling Sun Ao's body out, his body could not transform into mist to escape, and at this moment he still vainly thought of hiding back in his mother's womb.
Shekh didn't give him that possibility. The moment she came into contact with the black mist, she followed the thread and found the anchor point it had left in other worlds. Pulling out the radish brought out the mud, she found the root of the problem!
Amidst the swirling sand, Shekh's hair was scattered and trembled backward in the wind. She took two steps back and saw platinum symbols appear on the ground, so she completely retreated from the ground and returned to the air.
The condensed arrow suddenly expanded, growing from the size of a spear to a towering pillar that was awe-inspiring. The earthquake struck again, and this time the ground cracks were even more terrifying than before, with mountains sinking one after another.
The arrow was firmly embedded in the red flesh; this troublesome creature had to be eliminated before she could pursue the source of the black mist.
Shekh raised her hand and opened a spatial passage beside her, tearing a hole in the sky. She pressed down on the arrow in mid-air, and under the suppression of the dual "One" skills, the rule-based arrow suddenly exploded.
A deafening roar shattered the darkness, and unable to withstand the impact of this force, the ground began to sink rapidly.
The counter-impact formation covering the entire land instantly lit up with a platinum-gold light. Under the fierce attack of the powerful force, the mysterious life symbols within the formation were like ink characters that had been soaked by water, their colors and shapes scattered. Fortunately, the life force was replenished in time, so the formation did not collapse directly.
The spatial passage on the dome opened to its maximum extent, and the shattered flesh and blood were sucked into the passage. Shi Jinzhe looked up at the sky and poured all the life force into the formation.
Shekh adjusted the position of the spatial passage, aligning the other end with the source of the black mist. After quickly completing the adjustment, the power she controlled was fully released.
The impact intensified, and white ripples spread from the outermost edge of the formation. Even after decreasing in intensity layer by layer, a terrifying storm still formed in the distance.
The red flesh and blood dissipated amidst the tremors. When the last red health bar was also completely destroyed, Sheh narrowed down the range of his skill and aimed it at the center of the counter-impact formation parallel to the ground.
The forces collided, and the formation concentrated all the received forces into a single point, returning them to the direction of the spatial passage.
The force that needed to be reflected was fierce and domineering. Every second that passed, another crack appeared in the counter-impact array. Shekh was ready to close the spatial passage at any moment and dared not be distracted in the slightest.
Upon seeing the platinum-white symbols on the ground, she understood what Shi Jinzhe intended to do: first unleash all her power, then use his formation to reflect the energy, striking twice in one move, killing the red one first, then the black one. As long as the formation could withstand the attack, this method could provide a certain level of defense while avoiding the second power-up taking too long and causing accidents.
The cracking sounds continued, the platinum barrier swayed and trembled, and the ring-shaped barrier shattered one ring after another. From the distant horizon where the edge could not be seen to the last ring of light remaining, Shi Jinzhe stared intently at the formation. If it could not be blocked, not only would the energy rebound fail, but Sheh's power would also directly penetrate the earth's core.
Gripping the scepter he hadn't used in a long time, Shi Jinzhe drew out his stored power the instant the last golden ring cracked. Just as he was about to inject it again, the overwhelming black power suddenly shrank into a shimmering cross and disappeared into the closed spatial passage.
Shekh and the spatial passage disappeared together, leaving the land in ruins with nowhere to step. Shi Jinzhe then channeled the power drawn from his scepter into the land to revitalize it.
The shattered counter-impact array disintegrated, accelerating the recovery of the damaged area. He summoned the new system, "Handle the follow-up issues of this world, check if there are any remnants of otherworldly abilities, resurrect the innocent creatures and erase all their memories, and notify me when this area is completely restored to its original state."
After settling everything, Shi Jinzhe opened the spatial passage and followed the guidance of [Order Reconstruction] to Shekh.
