184: Chapter 184 You are pushing her into an even deeper abyss with your own hands.

Wang Shan's face turned pale with fright as he stood to the side:

"He used cells from the Broodmother to infect these beasts, turning them into undying puppets that feel no pain!"

"Monsters like these can't be killed unless you chop their heads off!"

"Prepare for battle!"

Chen Xi's eyes sharpened as he instantly entered a combat state.

He knew that negotiations had broken down.

Now, there was only one way: to fight!

"Xiao Xiao! On the left! Cleanse the ground with thunder punishment!"

"Mu Rou! Crowd control! Don't let them get close!"

"Ye Fei! Protect yourself!"

"Yes!"

The three women of the Nirvana Battle Team did not flinch in the slightest.

Facing this overwhelming and terrifying beast tide, they displayed the caliber expected of a championship team.

"【Void Thunder Punishment: Mighty Thunderbolt】!"

Su Xiaoxiao soared into the air, the aura of her SS-grade Valkyrie fully unleashed.

Purple lightning rained down from the sky, each bolt precisely detonating the head of a corpse puppet.

"【Time Reversal: Absolute Stillness】!"

Li Murou plucked her strings, activating the laws of time.

The front row of charging beasts was instantly frozen in place, becoming sitting ducks.

Meanwhile, Chen Xi pulled a thick stack of cards from his backpack.

Those were the trump cards he had specifically prepared for this final showdown before coming here.

"Since you want to play the numbers game..."

A cold sneer curled on Chen Xi's lips as the cards in his hand flew into the air:

"Then let me show you what it means to have... 【Miracle: Descent】!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless cards exploded in mid-air, transforming into various elemental storms, traps, and even summoned creatures, forcibly tearing a hole in the defensive line within the beast tide!

"Shen Ye! Xia Qing! Move!"

Chen Xi roared:

"Leave the small fry here to us!"

"That Black-Robed Man... is yours!"

"That is your inner demon; you must be the one to sever it!"

Shen Ye looked at Chen Xi and the others fighting hard in the beast tide, then glanced at his crazed future self on the altar.

He took a deep breath, an unprecedented fighting spirit erupting from his single eye.

"Fine!"

"Today, I shall slay this nightmare of the future!"

Inside the underground factory, the flames of war raged and flesh flew everywhere.

Su Xiaoxiao, transformed into the Lightning Valkyrie, darted through the beast tide, each swing of her magic staff claiming the lives of a large number of corpse puppets.

Li Murou's music built an invisible Wall of Sighs, firmly blocking the monsters trying to break through the defensive line.

Chen Xi acted like a battlefield commander, with various functional cards appearing one after another, not only patching holes in the defense but also delivering fatal blows to the enemy at critical moments.

However, despite the Nirvana Battle Team's heroic performance, there were simply too many corpse puppets!

Moreover, these monsters injected with Broodmother cells had a vitality that was outrageously tenacious. Even if half their bodies were blown apart, they could still drag their mangled remains to continue biting.

"Damn it! There's no end to them!"

Xia Qing shouted in despair while releasing wind blades to slice through the monsters:

"These things even regenerate! How are we supposed to fight this?!"

On the altar not far away.

Black-Robed Shen Ye watched the struggling group with a cruel smile on his face.

"It's useless, stop struggling."

"Every beast here is nourishment I've carefully prepared to resurrect Ye Fei."

"The gene of 【Immortality】 flows within them. Here, in this domain filled with life essence, they are indestructible!"

After speaking, he ignored the battle and turned around to face the massive Broodmother flesh mass.

His eyes became incredibly fanatical, and he raised both hands as if performing some sacred yet evil ritual.

"The time has come."

"Although it's still a bit undercooked, since both 'sources' are here..."

"Then let's just begin!"

Black-Robed Shen Ye waved his hand abruptly.

Rumble—!

All around the factory, the dozens of thick pipes that were originally connected to various life-support pods suddenly emitted a deafening roar.

Immediately after, streams of liquid as thick as gold surged out of the pipes, converging above the Broodmother.

That was 【life essence】!

It was the pure life energy that the Black-Clothed Organization had extracted by slaughtering tens of thousands of high-level beasts over the past few months!

This energy was so massive that even the surrounding space began to warp and collapse.

"Stop it!!"

Seeing this, Wang Shan, who was cracking the data, let out a shrill scream:

"You can't fuse them! You absolutely cannot fuse them!"

"Even though that essence is pure, it contains too many alien genes! Those are gene fragments from thousands of different beasts!"

"If you forcibly inject them into a human body... that's not resurrection! That's creating a stitched-together monster that aggregates ten thousand curses!!"

"Shut up! You mediocre fool!"

Black-Robed Shen Ye snorted coldly, completely ignoring Wang Shan's warning:

"An ordinary body certainly couldn't withstand it."

"But she is the Lord of Myriad Spirits! She is the creator!"

"Her body can encompass everything! As long as there is enough energy, she can be reborn from the ashes!"

"Now... FUSE!!!"

Following his command.

The golden liquid, which gathered the life force of tens of thousands of beasts, poured down like a waterfall onto the massive Broodmother flesh mass.

Sizzle—!!!

At the moment of contact, it was like boiling oil being splashed onto a red-hot iron.

A hair-raising roar erupted from within the Broodmother.

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

The face belonging to the future Ye Fei, which floated on the surface of the flesh, was now distorted to the extreme in agony.

Her features began to melt and recombine.

Scales, feathers, and bone spurs grew on her skin... countless beast traits frantically appeared and disappeared on her body.

That pain was ten thousand times more horrific than being sliced to death!

"It hurts... it hurts so much..."

"Kill me... please... kill me..."

The shrill pleas echoed throughout the underground space, heart-wrenching to hear.

"No! This is impossible!"

Black-Robed Shen Ye watched this scene, the fanaticism on his face freezing.

His hand trembled as he tried to touch that face, only to be repelled by a terrifying force.

"Why?! Why is this happening?!"

"Theoretically, it should be perfect! Why is there rejection?!"

"Because you are wrong!!"

A violent shout rang out.

Chen Xi, covered in blood, kicked away a corpse puppet blocking his path and rushed to the base of the altar.

He stared fixedly at Black-Robed Shen Ye, his eyes filled with anger and pity:

"You keep saying you love her, that you want to save her."

"But you don't understand life at all!"

"Life is not a stack of data! A soul is not a container for energy!"

"You want to use the souls of beasts to fill a human shell? You want to use the resentment of ten thousand dead to resurrect a pure soul?"

"This isn't alchemy at all! This is sacrilege!!"

Chen Xi pointed at the struggling mass of flesh:

"Look closely! That isn't Ye Fei!"

"That is a monster being torn apart by countless vengeful spirits! You are personally pushing her into a deeper abyss!"
