"Let me take out the Slaanesh that can use mental attacks first," Ning Yu instructed Shen Yiyue.
In this situation, most of the other zombies relied on physical attacks, but the Slaanesh could launch mental assaults through their gaze, dragging people into illusions.
Although Ning Yu was immune to their mental attacks, Shen Yiyue was not, so eliminating them first was the best option.
However, these Slaanesh, enhanced by cybernetic modifications, had clearly fortified their weaknesses.
Ordinary Slaanesh, aside from their mental attacks, were not much different in physical strength from regular zombies.
But the cybernetically enhanced Slaanesh were clad in heavy steel armor, with only their eyes, adorned with pink hearts, exposed.
Shen Yiyue had already lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with the Slaanesh.
Neither side had yet to make a move, but the battle was on the verge of breaking out.
With a sharp, resonant cry from Blood Kite, controlled by Ning Yu, all the mutated zombies sprang into action, closing in on the two!
The Glutton leapt high into the air, The Greedy One swung their blade-like arms on the ground, and the Slaanesh at the back scanned the scene with their gaze.
In the middle, the Sloth extended their diligent hands, while the Wrath at the front served as the meat shield.
This was a full-fledged army of cybernetically enhanced mutated zombies!
Shen Yiyue fired a grappling hook upward; her primary combat style wasn’t close-quarters fighting.
Once in the air, she only needed to worry about The Glutton’s pounces and the attacks of the invisible hands at low altitudes. Until Ning Yu took out all the Slaanesh, she had to rely on her instincts to dodge.
But breaking through the encirclement didn’t seem easy. The moment Ning Yu charged into the horde, she was met with coordinated attacks.
The Sloth’s diligent hands wove a net-like formation, forcing Ning Yu to cut through them. If she were touched, her entire body would be paralyzed, costing her a life.
The Greedy One’s blades on the ground were ready to strike Ning Yu as she descended from the air.
If not for her ability to use Blood Kite to bounce mid-air, things would have gotten much more complicated.
The Wrath stretched out their arms, joining The Glutton in grabbing at Shen Yiyue, who dared not look around and could only dodge in desperation.
If this dragged on, the situation would only worsen.
At this thought, Ning Yu hesitated no longer and began calling out that name in her mind.
"Moon Princess!"
But this time, she didn’t enter that gray mist-filled space to receive blessings.
Instead, the vortex mark on her forehead glowed brightly, blowing her bangs upward as an invisible energy rippled around her, deflecting all incoming attacks.
From the slightly warm mark on her forehead, Ning Yu felt an endless surge of energy flooding her mind and body.
That feeling of instantly comprehending all truths of the world once again welled up in her heart.
‘To cross parallel lines means to connect with the origin.’
Ning Yu recalled the mysterious smile Moon Princess had when she said those words.
She hadn’t expected that after establishing this so-called connection, entering the [Mistless Moon] mode no longer required a specific grant of power.
[Notification: Host has entered Mistless Moon mode.]
[In this mode, the host will consume 70 points per second.]
[You have gained: Moon Princess’ Blessing * Tier II]
[Moon Princess’ Blessing * Tier II: +10 Stamina, +10 Spirit, +10 Charm]
The system’s voice echoed in her mind. While the abilities [Mist Walk] and [Lunar Moment] remained unchanged, other information had shifted.
The point consumption dropped from 100 points per second to 70, a 30% discount.
Moreover, [Moon Princess’ Blessing] had upgraded from Tier I to Tier II, with all +5 bonuses increased to +10.
Was this the power gained from forming a contract with Moon Princess and connecting to the origin?
Once Ning Yu regained her focus, her gaze locked onto the Slaanesh at the rear.
The Slaanesh, noticing Ning Yu daring to look directly at them, widened their eyes, attempting to drag her into an illusion.
But after just one second of eye contact, not only did they fail to create an illusion, but their own heads began to ache unbearably.
"Argh!!!"
The Slaanesh who had looked at Ning Yu all knelt to the ground, banging their heads in agony.
If not for their cybernetic armor protecting their heads, they might have bloodied themselves from the force.
Now, without the energy barrier from the [Mistless Moon] mode, various attacks closed in on Ning Yu.
But at the last moment, all their attacks missed, even striking their own allies in the confusion.
Ning Yu had already activated [Mist Walk], moving beside the Slaanesh.
Under the gaze of [High-Level Detection], the death lines around their exposed eyes shone with an eerie brilliance.
As she emerged from the mist, the blade of The Greedy One guarding the Slaanesh swung toward her.
This triggered [Lunar Moment], freezing all the zombies around her. Ning Yu drove Blood Kite into the Slaanesh’s exposed eye.
With plenty of time to spare, Ning Yu dashed toward another Slaanesh. By the time the zombies recovered from the time stop, the second Slaanesh had also fallen.
They were completely helpless against Ning Yu’s [Mist Walk]. Only a zombie like Leviathan, with near-human intelligence, might have been able to uncover the weakness of Ning Yu’s [Mist Walk].
"Moon Sister!"
After killing the last cybernetically armored Slaanesh, Ning Yu signaled to Shen Yiyue that it was safe.
Shen Yiyue, who had been dodging attacks in a panic, finally opened her eyes, activating her [Future Reading].
Now, the zombies’ attacks no longer troubled her. She moved through the air with her grappling hook, firing bullet after bullet from her sniper rifle.
Some were time-stop bullets, targeting the zombies around Ning Yu, preventing sneak attacks from behind while giving Ning Yu ample time to coordinate.
Others were aimed directly at the known weak points of the zombies, killing them instantly.
The tide of the battle turned immediately. Shen Yiyue provided aerial fire support and assistance, while Ning Yu cut through the horde of mutated zombies.
Although the cybernetic armor effectively concealed some of the zombies’ weaknesses, such as the thick plating covering the Wrath’s nape, it couldn’t withstand Ning Yu’s razor-sharp Blood Kite.
Shen Yiyue only needed to fire time-stop bullets at their exposed parts, and Ning Yu would follow up with precise strikes to their weak points, finishing them off.
Just as the battle reached its peak, all the mutated zombies suddenly convulsed as if malfunctioning.
One by one, they collapsed to the ground, motionless, as if someone had hit the off switch.
From the metal gate, a figure Ning Yu knew all too well emerged!
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
igrating to the cultivation world for two hundred years, I've managed to lie low and reach the Nascent Soul stage. Only now does my golden finger arrive? ...
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
