258: Chapter 258 Oh right, he's my husband.

From within that deep crack...

A terrifying, massive, indescribable octopus-shaped monster emitting an aura of pollution crawled out.

It was none other than the Cthulhu monster that Zhuge Jinyu and the others had once fought on the East China Sea.

Seeing the Witch, it let out a roar that shattered the heavens.

The bizarre eyeballs covering its entire body fixed their gaze on the Witch.

As if it had seen its most desired prey.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

The entire sky over the East China Sea was dyed a despairing dark red.

"Heh heh heh heh..."

"An indescribable, bizarre laughter that almost caused the entire sea level to resonate issued from all parts of Cthulhu's body.

A terrifying suction force, immense enough to grind even a Transcendence Realm expert into meat paste,

erupted from Cthulhu's black-hole-like giant mouth, firmly locking onto the Witch in mid-air.

"Is this what you prepared to use against me?"

"It looks... somewhat troublesome indeed."

But...

Even facing such an abyssal behemoth that would make even gods tremble,

there was still not a single trace of fear on the Witch's face.

She didn't even mobilize any spiritual energy to resist that terrifying suction.

Like a soft black feather, she completely gave up struggling.

She allowed that power to pull her slender, delicate body, slowly falling toward Cthulhu's abyssal maw.

During the descent, she slightly tilted her head up.

Her expression was calm.

She even wore a trace of a compassionate smile as she looked at the Men in Black in mid-air who thought they had succeeded.

Looking at the Witch's smile, which was full of irony and disdain, the Men in Black were somewhat afraid to meet her eyes.

After all, no matter what,

they had chosen to proactively release monsters from the Monster Plane onto Earth.

This in itself was the most shameful act for them as humans.

"Who said I didn't foresee the time of my death?"

The Witch's voice clearly reached everyone's ears amidst the howling wild winds.

"I saw my end today long ago."

"I knew even more that you traitors would come here, leading this big guy onto the path I must take to Great Xia, and then use its hands to get rid of me."

"All of this..."

An almost crazed smile crossed the corners of her mouth.

...is a part of my prophetic script that must happen."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Men in Black in mid-air changed abruptly, and they became exasperated.

"Just putting up a front."

"I hope when you're swallowed by Cthulhu, you can still keep that calm smile on your face."

Although the leading Man in Black was acting tough, his heart was already in complete turmoil.

They couldn't understand no matter how they tried.

Why this woman, facing such a certain-death situation,

didn't even have a shred of instinctive fear.

The calm, 'this is how it should be' smile on her face, as if the plan was proceeding as desired, didn't look faked at all.

Could it be that her so-called mysterious prophecies were actually true?

Everyone knew the President of Flower Feather Society was skilled in prophecy and had once predicted that in the era of Spiritual Energy Recovery, humanity would face a catastrophe concerning the survival of civilization.

But only a very small number of people knew,

that in her prophecy, there was also a 'Savior Lord' who could change all of this.

Could it be that the 'Savior' also truly existed?...

Just as the leading Man in Black was about to speak and question her,

half of the Witch's delicate body had already completely disappeared into Cthulhu's pitch-black, foul-smelling maw.

But at this moment, she suddenly laughed extremely happily.

She looked up at the Men in Black, who were hesitating to speak.

Her face was full of mocking laughter.

"I know what else you want to say."

"Aren't you wanting to ask,"

"'Since you're about to die anyway, why not tell us,"

"'who exactly is the 'Savior' in your prophecy who can save the Blue Star?'"

"Right?"

The Men in Black were all startled.

The Witch had actually guessed their true purpose.

"So what if you guessed it?"

"You should know that if you tell us this person's name, to complete our plan, we will absolutely leave no possible hidden threats."

"We will definitely... pull him up by the roots and eliminate him."

"In that case, how could you possibly really tell us his true name?"

In the Witch's eyes, hidden under her veil, an unprecedented and extremely morbid feverishness erupted.

"His name is Su Chen."

"Not only that..."

"He is also my husband."

"What?!"

"Impossible!!"

The Men in Black in mid-air were like they'd been struck by lightning, almost scared out of their wits by these words.

What kind of image had the President of Flower Feather Society before them always maintained in front of the world?

Cold, mysterious, stunningly beautiful, seductive, indifferent...

This "Prophet" who, in the eyes of the high-level officials of Blue Star, had always been absolutely rational, indifferent, and high above like a god...

She actually had a husband?

And that so-called Savior was actually her husband?

Even if there really was one... are you sure it's not because of marital discord that you just threw out a name to have us (fake) White Snake Cult kill him?

"That's right, he is my husband."

The Witch seemed very satisfied with their shock.

"I have already given my body to him."

"If you don't believe it, you can use your divine sense to feel if my Primordial Yin is still there."

"But..."

"He encountered some things and lost some of his strength; he isn't strong enough yet."

"If you go to kill him now, you'll just happen to become the whetstone for him to walk the path of the strong as a protagonist."

"Mm~ it's really a good script."

Before being completely swallowed by the darkness, she left one last piece of guidance like a devil's whisper.

"He is currently at Great Xia's Heroic Spirit Contract Ceremony."

"This should also be the next place you planned to go in your original plan, right?"

(The purpose of the Fake White Snake Cult is to weaken human strength while releasing monsters from the Monster Plane to destroy human civilization; everyone can also understand them as the Adventists from Three-Body.)

(Therefore, the Heroic Spirit Contract Ceremony, a place where the outstanding warriors of the entire young generation of Great Xia gather, has naturally become an important target for the Fake White Snake Cult's attack.)

"Go, you can go and hunt him down now."

"Because..."

"This is also an indispensable part of the prophecy used to advance the script."

"Crack—!"

Before those fake White Snake Cultists could react to this world-view-shattering bombshell,

Cthulhu's incredibly massive jaw slammed shut.

The Witch's small and slender body was completely swallowed into the endless darkness.

The image of the Memory Curtain froze at the moment the Witch vanished into the darkness.

But Bai Suzhen's Soul-Searching Technique happened to capture a final thought that existed in the Man in Black's memory but had not caught his attention.

The last thought that flashed through the Witch's mind before being completely submerged by darkness.
