Xiao Meng's pupils had completely transformed into vertical slits, cold and eerie, resembling a venomous snake lying in wait for its prey.
In her eyes, the bloody memories of the Witch Clan unfolded—a history spanning millennia filled with countless births, innumerable sacrifices, and an endless cycle of reincarnation.
"I want to... end... reincarnation!" Xiao Meng's voice echoed as if it came from the depths of hell, each word laced with a suffocating chill.
She raised the Star Pattern Lock Core in her hand and thrust it toward the Witch without hesitation.
The movement was as swift as lightning, fierce and resolute, leaving no trace of the naive girl she once was.
The Witch's expression changed dramatically; she had not anticipated that this puppet, which she believed she could control, would erupt with such a strong will to resist.
In a hurry, she activated the Three Lives Birthing Formation in an attempt to stop Xiao Meng.
However, at that critical moment, the surrounding Infant Legion stirred.
"Woo woo woo..."
A series of piercing sounds from Bone Flutes filled the air. The previously dazed infants now glimmered with a strange red light in their eyes as they raised their Bone Flutes and hurled them toward Xiao Meng.
The Bone Flutes flew like arrows, densely packed, instantly sealing off all of Xiao Meng's escape routes.
"Thud thud thud..."
Countless Bone Flutes struck Xiao Meng's body, yet there was no scene of blood splattering.
Instead, the Bone Flutes pierced through her body directly, pinning her hands firmly in mid-air like a butterfly nailed to a cross, unable to struggle.
"Hehe... it's useless; you can't escape," the Blood Curse Master sneered with a nauseating laugh as he approached Xiao Meng step by step. "Wu Yue's power will ultimately belong to me!"
He extended his left hand, now entirely crimson, and grasped Xiao Meng's hair, forcefully tilting her head back.
"Now, let the reverse birthing begin!" The Blood Curse Master laughed maniacally while his other hand held a mass of black mist within which a distorted human face could be faintly seen—it was Wu Yue's Remnant Soul.
Without hesitation, he injected Wu Yue's residual soul into Xiao Meng's body.
"Ah..."
Xiao Meng let out a piercing scream as her body trembled violently as if it were about to explode.
Her skin began to crack inch by inch, blood-red patterns spreading like spider webs across her body.
Suddenly, something began to grow from her back.
It was a strange fabric—soft in texture yet shimmering with a metallic sheen.
The fabric was embroidered with intricate patterns of Xing Wen, resembling the twinkling stars in the night sky. It gradually grew from behind Xiao Meng, ultimately forming a Starlight Robe. This Long Robe had a strange connection to Sunshine's Xing Jian. There seemed to be an invisible thread binding them tightly together.
"What... what is this?" For the first time, fear appeared in the Witch's eyes. She felt her control over Xiao Meng slipping away bit by bit.
"No... this can't be happening..." Black-hearted Grandpa also couldn't believe what was unfolding before him. He had thought everything was under his control, but now, events seemed to be spiraling in an unpredictable direction.
At that moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the void. A blurry silhouette projected from the fissure—a man dressed in an Ancient Priest's Long Robe, wearing an archaic mask and holding a shattered hourglass.
"We must use the Starry Marriage Contract to sever the bloodline Umbilical Cord!" The priest's voice was filled with authority and urgency. He seemed to want to stop something, but it was already too late.
The Witch suddenly activated the Three Lives Birthing Formation, and beams of crimson light shot towards the priest. The powerful energy instantly shattered the priest's figure into countless fragments, which vanished into the void, leaving only his unfinished words echoing in the air.
"Stars..."
Just then, Sunshine's Xing Jian suddenly went berserk. Endless Starlight Power erupted from Xing Jian, merging with the Starlight Robe behind Xiao Meng. A massive infant form began to slowly take shape...
"No... don't..." Despair filled the Witch's eyes as her voice abruptly cut off.
Sunshine's once-gentle Xing Jian exploded like bubblegum popped by Bear Child, bursting with a loud bang! Countless Starlight Powers surged towards Xiao Meng like cheap special effects, slamming against her.
These Starlight Powers were no meek little lambs; they roared like unleashed huskies, swirling around and mixing with the Starlight Robe behind Xiao Meng. The entire scene was more chaotic than a market where aunties were scrambling for discounted eggs.
"I... I want to use your heartbeat as the key!" A voice, both childish and tinged with a mechanical quality, emerged from the swirling chaos of light.
Soon after, a massive infant form began to take shape.
The baby stood over ten meters tall, its smooth body shimmering with starlight, resembling a gigantic light bulb that hurt the eyes to look at.
"What the hell is this?" I couldn't help but mutter in my mind; the plot was taking an absurd turn! Was I about to witness a cliché scene of a "Giant Baby descending to destroy the world"?
Before I could finish my thoughts, something unexpected happened with the Black-hearted Grandpa. His already deformed Infant Arm suddenly elongated like a mutated tentacle, transforming into countless cold chains that tightly bound Xiao Meng.
"Jie jie jie... Xiao Meng, you are the ultimate womb of the Witch Clan!" The Black-hearted Grandpa's laughter echoed like a crow's call in the dead of night, sending chills down my spine.
"Ultimate womb? What on earth is going on?" I felt my brain struggling to keep up; the plot twists were happening way too fast! I just wanted to write about a parent-teacher meeting in another world, but it was starting to feel more like the Cthulhu Mythos!
At that moment, Xiao Meng's serpent-like eyes underwent a transformation.
The once cold Serpent Eyes began to shimmer with points of starlight, flickering like fireflies in the night. The Starlight Power surging into her body seemed to be devoured by a black hole, wildly rushing into her eyes.
"Hiss..."
Xiao Meng let out a painful hiss as her body trembled violently, as if enduring immense suffering. The blood-red patterns on her skin deepened and writhed like worms.
The Black-hearted Grandpa's laughter abruptly ceased; his expression turned grim as if he had witnessed something unfathomable.
"No... it can't be... how could you possibly absorb Starlight Power?!" His voice was filled with terror, as if he had encountered his nemesis.
The Witch collapsed to the ground in shock.
As everyone stood frozen in disbelief, the starlight in Xiao Meng's Serpent Eyes grew ever brighter until it completely engulfed all of her Serpent Eyes, leaving only two brilliant orbs of starlight that illuminated the entire space.
A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.
Suddenly, Xiao Meng's previously tightly closed lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
"Grandfather..."
