AITAMITB Chapter 139

The one who delivered the final blow to the snake-woman evil god was Ye Ying.

After being enveloped in the golden light unleashed by Sucha, the snake woman’s body suddenly began to show signs of scalding and rotting. She howled in pain, opening her arms as a majestic dark energy gathered in front of her chest.

Ye Ying emerged from the shadows just as she unleashed her ultimate move.

A silver short dagger slashed across her throat. Various emotions such as unwillingness, anger, and confusion flashed through the snake woman’s eyes. In the end, she collapsed with a thunderous sound, her snake tail dispersing on the ground. Only a beautiful woman remained, staring with beautiful large eyes, gazing at the sky.

Zhao Xiaokui and the others quickly helped Lin Bai and Park Huiya deal with the large evil spirits rushing in from elsewhere.

Compared to them, the large evil spirits had a lower rank and slightly less agility, but they excelled in special attacks and had strong defenses. It was challenging to inflict damage on them without special weapons, but in a real fight, that was about it.

After all, amassing troops also took time. When the evil gods descended into this world, just focusing on restoring their own strength was already quite challenging. There was no mood for cultivating mundane skills. Even these large evil spirits were probably the result of ordinary evil spirits devouring each other.

No wonder the evil gods didn’t care much about the types of troops they had. Firstly, their strength was too formidable, even after descending, limited by the body and the world. They still had a level above the fifth rank.

The battles in the transcendent world were cruel. Sometimes numbers mattered, but at other times, numbers were as insignificant as ants, easily swept away with a single flush. Rather than investing considerable effort in cultivating a few or dozens of second or third-tier low-level transcendent beings in a short time, it was better to find ways to restore one’s own strength and strive to advance a tier sooner.

Training ordinary people requires talent. For those evil gods who didn’t land in a favorable place, counting so many people one by one in their territory might not be as easy to find as it seemed. However, for oneself to advance, as long as the resources were sufficient, it would be much easier.

Park Huiya closed the eyes of the fallen woman and said, “She’s also a pitiful soul.”

“Poor soul… Is she deserving of pity?” Lin Bai, before coming here, had memorized all the information about important individuals who were considered to be in this place. Seeing Park Huiya sympathizing with the woman possessed by the snake, he said, “Have you heard of the Snake Woman Black Pearl? She’s a female serial killer from City M. For the sake of cult sacrifices, she abducted dozens of young girls, killed them, skinned them, and dismembered them. Her brutal methods once caused a sensation on the entire internet, but the police could never catch her. That’s her.”

Park Huiya withdrew her hand, looking into the eyes of the woman’s beautiful face, no longer showing any sympathy.

Earlier, when she saw the god with a human face and snake body, she found it frightening. But now, seeing this lifeless woman, she felt that she was even more terrifying than the god.

They had all suffered some injuries, more or less, but no one suggested healing. Instead, they prepared to search this settlement first.

In the settlement, they found three children, several well-endowed breastfeeding women, and a group of people used as slaves, including one person from Huaxia.

It was said that he was a local Huaxia restaurant chef. After the occupation, unwilling to leave his property, he didn’t escape. When he fled to the settlement, due to his outstanding culinary skills, he was recommended to the side of the evil god to become a chef.

Seeing fellow countrymen, tears welled up in their eyes.

The thin and angular middle-aged man, around forty-something, upon seeing Zhao Xiaokui and Ye Ying, tears fell immediately. “I knew it, I knew it. Our country will definitely send people to rescue us… Wuwuwu… Minmin, Minmin, look, the Liberation Army has come to rescue us.”

Minmin was his wife, who died in the turmoil after the occupation.

Others’ emotions were also very unstable. Unlike the chef, hearing Zhao Xiaokui and Ye Ying speak the language of Huaxia made them feel very reassured. Their eyes were full of fear, like startled birds. It seemed that a slight scare could cause their hearts to shatter.

The task of comforting them fell to Park Huiya. She was the only woman in the team besides Zhao Xiaokui, with a gentle appearance that easily gained the affection of others. Unlike Zhao Xiaokui, whose exquisite features and cold expression made her seem a bit unapproachable.

Even the chef seemed a little afraid of her.

She commanded the breastfeeding women to pick up their children and follow her.

The others exchanged glances and then followed suit.

Including the little boy delivered today, there were a total of four children brought to the snake-woman evil god.

The youngest one was from today, just born a few days ago, with undeveloped skin, looking thin.

The oldest one was already several months old, chubby and robust from eating well. In terms of size, he was several times larger than the smallest one. Despite wearing almost nothing and being held by someone, he didn’t feel cold at all. He kicked his legs vigorously, and his two black grape-like eyes were dark and bright at the same time.

“Captain, why bring them out separately?”

Zhao Xiaokui looked at Hill and Sucha, both nodding simultaneously. She said, “We know.”

When Hill took various detection devices from the space, Zhao Xiaokui continued, “These children have consumed the milk of the evil god. I’m afraid they might have formed some connection with the god. Although we killed the god once, it’s highly possible that it might return through these children.”

Lin Bai, responsible for the examination, skillfully manipulated various instruments to quickly check the four children.

Soon, the analyzer concluded. Among these four children, except for the one who had just consumed the milk of the evil god, showing no apparent issues, the other three had significantly higher physical qualities than their peers. The largest child even exhibited extraordinary fluctuations, almost showing signs of awakening.

This child, when grown up, was almost certain to become a transcendent being.

“No issues on my end, perfectly healthy, everything is normal.”

Next up was Sucha.

Sucha raised the staff in her hand and aimed it at the four children.

Suddenly, one woman holding a child tried to run, but Ye Ying swiftly caught her.

Kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face, she tightly held the child, sobbing, “No, don’t harm my baby. He’s innocent, he has nothing to do with that monster… Please don’t hurt him, I beg you, I’ll kowtow to you.”

Arthur approached, supporting her, “We don’t intend to harm him. Just a simple check to ensure his body hasn’t been harmed by the influence of the evil god. You don’t have to worry.”

The woman showed a hopeful expression, “Really?”

Without saying a word, Arthur stepped back, and Sucha’s ability was already in motion.

His staff suddenly lit up, casting a golden glow that enveloped the group.

Several women who had been with the evil god for a long time suddenly felt a warm sensation in their bodies, as if soaking in comfortably warm water.

However, the children started crying loudly. At the same time, worm-like patterns began to surface on their bodies. Zhao Xiaokui noticed this scene and said, “Use the silver dagger to cut their fingers.”

The baby’s hands were tiny, and the skin was very tender. The silver dagger lightly traced over them, and black blood seemed to find an exit, rushing out eagerly and dripping onto the ground.

There were some gray-green wild grasses on the ground. After the blood fell on them, a sizzling sound echoed, emitting a corrosive noise.

These vibrant wild grasses, in the blink of an eye, turned yellow, as if all their vitality had been drained away. What’s even more terrifying was that following the withering of the grass, within a meter or so from the blood droplets, the same fate befell the entire area.

This was happening even under Sucha’s Buddhist light.

Purification.

One of Sucha’s special abilities.

After releasing it, he turned pale and whispered to Zhao Xiaokui, “I am fortunate not to disgrace myself.”

“You’ve worked hard. Go and rest.” Asking Sucha to leave, Zhao Xiaokui personally began checking the condition of the four children.

Sucha’s purification ability was potent, eliminating any obvious and direct contamination.

But Zhao Xiaokui could sense that at the genetic level, these children had already become entangled with some unique existence.

It could be removed, and she had the capability to do so, but there was no need.

These energies are both a source of calamity and a source of fortune.

Relying on this unique existence, the future prospects of these children are bound to be vast. However, they will also inevitably be entangled with the evil god throughout their lives, hearing the seduction of the evil god, and experiencing the murmuring whispers from the already mad gods in time and space.

If controlled, they will become unprecedented transcendent beings.

If not controlled, they will turn into monsters.

Zhao Xiaokui also brought a batch of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, stored in Hill’s space. After the concentration of transcendent power deepened, Huaxia was surprised to find that traditional Chinese medicine, which many young people had once dismissed, was now radiant. Many theories considered unfounded by science unexpectedly found corresponding interpretations in the transcendent world.

Among them, the traditional Chinese medicinal herbs used by Chinese medicine, after compounding and preparation, could play a certain role in expelling negative energies.

The chef found a large pot and brewed these medicinal herbs into a soup, serving a bowl to each person.

After injecting miniature nanotrackers into the bodies of the children, Zhao Xiaokui and the others no longer intervened, leaving them in the care of the women. As for whether they would return the children to their parents, it was not something Zhao Xiaokui and the others were currently concerned about.

“I found this.” Lin Bai pulled out a parchment from the cabinet.

Zhao Xiaokui took it and recognized that what was written on it was the demonic language, one of the three major languages in the transcendent world.

“What does it say?”

“It’s a notice of territory division. If the evil god we killed becomes a small lord, above it, there is a big lord, and above the big lord, there is a king who rules over all evil gods.”

“Just dealing with the small lord has already been so challenging for us. Can we really handle more powerful evil gods?”

“No problem, we can start by dealing with the simpler ones and accumulate experience. I believe everyone gained something from today’s battle with the evil god.”

Arthur nodded, “Indeed, I’ve learned a lot about energy manipulation from the evil god. Truly, a god who has lived from the transcendent civilization to the present must be quite skilled.”

They could sense that this evil god wasn’t particularly powerful, at most at the level of a fifth-tier. However, in the use of energy, it was truly remarkable, exhibiting extraordinary proficiency. During the battle, it controlled the rhythm well. If they didn’t have numerical superiority and weapons, it would have been challenging to determine the outcome.

Zhao Xiaokui said, “It would be great if we knew where nearby evil gods are… We could start by dealing with the smaller ones and then go after the bigger ones.”

Hill asked, “Won’t this alert the big lords?”

Zhao Xiaokui curled her lips, chuckled, and said, “Do you think these evil gods, being controlled together, are truly united? Those who have survived till now, none of them are inexperienced. Each has their own schemes, just that their abilities fall short, so they have to yield. As long as they don’t feel threatened by us, they probably enjoy seeing us sweep away the troublesome things for them.”

Resources are limited, and this holds true even in the Enigmatic Domain.

If it weren’t for the prevalence of sacrifices to the sacred totem here, making it easier for the evil gods to descend compared to other places, these evil gods wouldn’t willingly have another evil god living next door.

“Unfortunately, we don’t know the specific distribution of power. I’m afraid of trespassing into the territory of a big evil god…”

“I know, I know!” At this moment, the chef, who had finished preparing the medicine, suddenly pushed the door open and eagerly exclaimed.
