185: New Alien: The Devil

The light blade was not pure energy; its edges flowed with a viscous, tar-like dark green liquid, emanating an extremely intense aura of decay.

Wherever the light blade passed, the space emitted a “sizzling” corrosive sound, leaving behind dark green cracks that temporarily could not heal and emitted a foul odor!

Blade of Decay Rule!

This was just the beginning!

Puff!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

More ghastly green light blades simultaneously pierced out from all directions of the pupa!

Some were thick as pillars, others slender as whips, all with serrated barbs!

They frantically cut and tore at the tough pupa wall, each cut accompanied by a spray of dark green pus, rich in deadly plague.

When the pus landed, it instantly corroded deep pits in the rock and soil, and quickly spawned patches of writhing, foul-smelling dark green fungal mats.

The Nurgle Demon's body, like an abscess burst open by internal violent force, exploded with a jarring tearing sound!

Viscous, putrid, dark green liquid, imbued with potent toxins and the Power of Decay, surged out like a breached dam!

Accompanied by a terrifying howl that pierced the clouds, a blend of the Alien's sharp shriek and the Nurgle Demon's deep roar, a new, horrifying figure, desecrating the essence of life, slowly rose from the shattered pupa shell and pus!

The creature before him perfectly fused the Alien's chilling killing structure with the Nurgle Demon's despair-inducing Power of Decay, forming an unprecedentedly terrifying existence.

It retained the Alien's iconic streamlined, biomechanically elegant slender body, but the exoskeleton covering its entire body was no longer pure jet-black, smooth chitin, but rather a dull, dark green like rotting bronze.

Its surface was covered with rough textures resembling tree bark or dried scabs, and pus-filled bulges that constantly seeped viscous dark green liquid.

Its head remained elongated, but the originally smooth cranium was covered with a layer of proliferating, twisted keratomas and bone spurs, similar to those of a Nurgle Demon.

Around its retractable inner jaw, dark green saliva, highly corrosive and capable of spreading plague, continuously dripped.

Its back no longer had smooth tubular structures; instead, there were several twisted, swollen, massive arthropod-like organs resembling decaying tree trunks, their ends not sharp spikes but large nozzle-like orifices that constantly opened and closed, oozing pus.

A thick tail, covered with heavy scales and pustules, and ending in a large bone tumor like a battering ram, dragged behind it.

Its limb joints were covered with thick, proliferating tissue resembling decaying armor.

Its claws gleamed with a dark green metallic luster, and corrosive liquid constantly dripped from their tips.

With a thought, the attributes of this Alien appeared before Lin Feng.

Name: Fallen Xenomorph

Star Rating: Unknown (Demigod-level lifeform)

Strength: Half-step Legend

Status: Active / Absolute Obedience

Core Rules: Decay, Plague, Proliferation, Space Dominance

Skill 1: Claws of Decay · Rule Erosion: Its claws condense highly concentrated Power of Decay to attack. The claw strike itself causes both physical and rule-based damage, and instantly generates a miniature “Decay Divine Domain” with a radius of several meters at the point of impact or along the trajectory of the swing. Within the domain, rules are twisted, and material structures continuously suffer erosion from the Power of Decay, rapidly disintegrating, collapsing, turning into decaying dust, or being assimilated into Fallen Aberrant tissue.

Skill 2: Plague Trample · Scorched Earth Domain: It stomps the ground with immense force imbued with decaying divine power, triggering a powerful shockwave, and simultaneously injects pure Power of Decay into the earth. Centered on the point of impact, it instantly creates a “Decayed Scorched Earth Domain” with a radius of tens of meters (increases with strength).

Within the domain, the earth transforms into a writhing, highly toxic dark green fungal mat, and the air is filled with high concentrations of decaying miasma and plague spores. Enemies entering the domain will continuously suffer rule-level decay erosion (decay of life, energy, and material structure) and multiple complex plague infections (flesh rot, spiritual pollution, soul weakening). The environment within the domain provides buffs to the Fallen Xenomorph and its subordinates.

Skill 3: Corrupting Roar · Rule Shockwave: It emits a terrifying roar imbued with highly condensed Power of Decay, forming a visible, dark green rule shockwave in a fan shape.

Targets directly hit first suffer severe physical shock damage; more importantly, their armor, energy defenses, and even life essence will be directly subjected to “Decay Rule Impact.”

Skill 4: Indestructible Corrupted Body: Fuses the Alien's extreme vitality with the Nurgle Demon's immortal decay characteristics, forming an incomparably tough, rule-based body. Possesses extremely high physical and energy resistance. When attacked, its body surface automatically activates a layer of Decay Rule force field, instinctively eroding and offsetting part of the damage.

In environments rich in the Power of Decay, it can regenerate almost instantly by absorbing “Decay Essence” from the environment. It is almost immortal as long as its core is not completely annihilated.

Skill 5: Decay Divine Domain · Breeding Ground: Centered on itself, it releases pure Decay Divinity Law power, forcefully twisting reality's rules to create a “Decay Divine Domain” with a radius of up to hundreds of meters (increases with level/state).

This domain is the ultimate manifestation of the Fallen Xenomorph's Power of Rule; the earth transforms into living fungal mats, the air is filled with deadly miasma and plague spore clouds, and light is dim and distorted. Within the domain, the rules of “Decay,” “Plague,” and “Proliferation” become dominant, and non-decay/plague energies are strongly suppressed, eroded, or even forcibly converted into the Power of Decay.

The target's recovery, defense, and mobility are greatly weakened, while the Fallen Xenomorph's all abilities (attack, defense, speed, regeneration) are greatly enhanced within the domain, and its Power of Decay is replenished almost infinitely.

It can generate and control a large number of absolutely subservient corrupted minions within a very short time; the strength and number of minions depend on the energy/matter consumed.

Special Talent 1: Source of Plague · Touch of Ten Thousand Decays: Its blood, saliva, exhalations, shed spores, and even its breath all contain terrifyingly potent, complex divine plagues derived from the Power of Decay.

These plagues not only cause rapid physical decay, organ failure, and genetic collapse, but also deeply erode mental will, pollute the essence of the soul, and twist logical thinking, slowly transforming victims into irrational corrupted creatures or pure decaying energy.

The plague possesses extreme infectivity, mutability, and environmental adaptability, making it a mobile source of disaster.

Special Talent 2: Mental Corruption · Echo of Despair (Passive): Its very existence is the embodiment of decay and despair, constantly emitting powerful and defiling mental fluctuations.

These fluctuations cause continuous, difficult-to-resist mental oppression and pollution to surrounding intelligent beings, interfering with spellcasting focus, weakening combat will, and inducing negative emotions such as fear, despair, and madness. Those exposed for a long time or with weak wills may suffer direct mental collapse, or their souls may be corrupted, becoming its fanatical slaves or mere automatons.

Special Talent 3: Corrupting Proliferation · Rule Absorption (Passive): In environments rich in the Power of Decay, the Fallen Xenomorph's regenerative ability reaches an astonishing level.

It can regenerate limbs and tissues almost instantly by absorbing ambient “Decay Essence” (including decomposed enemy corpses, corroded rock and metal, and even decaying energy permeating the air) as nutrients. As long as its core is not completely destroyed or purified, it can continuously regenerate. This ability is the ultimate manifestation of its “Indestructible Corrupted Body” passive in energy-rich environments.

Special Talent 4: Metamorphosis · Corrupting Mimicry: A unique talent inherited from the Alien Queen. It can consume its own energy to a certain extent to change the form, color, and even the aura of its exoskeleton, for stealth, disguise, and surprise attacks.

Special Talent 5: Lord of Fallen Space · Domain Extension: As a direct inheritor of the Fallen Aberrant power, the Fallen Xenomorph possesses partial dominion over the Fallen Space, and can leave spatial coordinates in the real world.

It can also temporarily store large amounts of Decay Essence, important minions, and even parts of its own tissue in the Fallen Space, rapidly summoning them to its side or within its domain when needed. When in the Fallen Space or areas closely connected to it, the range, intensity, and spatial manipulation capabilities of its “Decay Divine Domain” will be significantly enhanced, even allowing it to briefly project parts of the Fallen Space's scenery/rules to cover the real domain.

Energy Essence: Decay Divinity · Law Prototype: Its life evolution level is close to divine, and the “Power of Decay” originating from the Nurgle Demon within it has begun to undergo qualitative change, sublimating into a higher-level “Decay Divinity Law power”!
