"We are the vessels of the Witch Clan's thousand-year Reincarnation!"
Countless Starlight Babies opened their eyes simultaneously. These were not the pure and innocent eyes of infants, but rather cold, slitted golden pupils, reminiscent of snakes.
Their voices overlapped, creating a sound like countless shards of ice scraping against each other, painfully piercing the eardrums.
The expression on Black-hearted Grandpa's face was a vivid spectacle, as if he had spilled a palette of colors. He had managed the "Genius Children's Training Camp" for so long, priding himself on his control over everything. Yet now, he found himself undermined by this group of Starlight Babies!
"Vessels? What vessels?" Black-hearted Grandpa shouted fiercely, though his voice lacked conviction.
The Starlight Babies did not respond; they simply fixed their snake-like gazes on him.
In the next moment, a horrifying scene unfolded—Black-hearted Grandpa's once-thin arms began to swell at an alarming rate!
Veins twisted and writhed like worms, muscle fibers proliferated wildly, and his bones emitted a sickening cracking sound.
"Ahhh!" Black-hearted Grandpa screamed like a slaughtered pig, desperate to stop it but utterly powerless.
In the blink of an eye, a grotesque giant arm replaced his original one, veins bulging, fingers curled like claws, and nails gleaming with a metallic sheen as if they could easily tear through steel.
This was no longer the "kind" grandfather of the Genius Children's Training Camp; he resembled a demon risen from hell!
"I... I can't control it!" Despair tinged Black-hearted Grandpa's voice as he struggled to command the monstrous arm, which seemed to possess a will of its own and refused to obey him.
At that moment, an ancient and mysterious humming sound filled the air.
It was Xiao Meng's Old Grandpa Plugin!
No, more accurately, it was the fragments of the Time Sandglass, which had previously shattered into pieces!
These shards appeared to be drawn by some unseen force and began to reassemble themselves in mid-air into a strange totem—a depiction of the ancient Miko Giving Birth Diagram!
Ancient runes flickered with ghostly light upon the totem, exuding an aura of age and mystery.
"We must pierce the Time-Space Womb with the Starry Marriage Contract!" An elderly voice exploded in Xiao Meng's mind, leaving her dizzy.
Starry Marriage Contract?
Time-Space Womb?
What on earth were these terms?
Xiao Meng felt her mind was utterly overwhelmed.
Before she could collect herself, the chilling voice of the Witch rang out again: "You will not ruin my plans!"
She slowly raised the Bone Flute in her hand. The flute was crafted from unknown bones and radiated a terrifying aura.
The Witch brought the Bone Flute to her lips and played a soft note.
The sound was deep and eerie, as if calling from ancient times or whispering secrets from the dead, sending chills down one's spine.
"Buzz—"
An invisible sound wave spread outwards, instantly striking the floating Miko Giving Birth Diagram.
"Ka Cha!"
The totem emitted a crisp sound before shattering into countless fragments that scattered across the ground.
Old Grandpa Plugin passed away. His age... well, no one really knows.
Xiao Meng's mood plummeted to the depths of despair. This Witch was like a bug, specifically targeting her Golden Finger!
Just as Xiao Meng felt hopeless, the previously motionless Xing Jian suddenly began to tremble violently. It greedily absorbed the starlight around it, especially the faint Starlight Power emanating from Sunshine.
"I want... more... Starlight Power!" Xing Jian's voice was childish yet frenzied, filled with a thirst for power.
Sunshine's face grew increasingly pale as he struggled to break free from Xing Jian's grasp, only to find himself utterly powerless.
"Sunshine! Are you okay?" Xiao Meng shouted anxiously, wanting to rush over to help, but was blocked by the massive arm of Black-hearted Grandpa.
"Don't come over! It's dangerous!" Sunshine said weakly.
After absorbing Sunshine's last bit of Starlight Power, Xing Jian stopped trembling. In the next moment, its infant-like body began to grow at an eerie speed. Its once rosy skin turned pale, and its features twisted into a grotesque and sinister form.
In the blink of an eye, a giant towering several meters high appeared before everyone. It had the outline of a baby but radiated an aura of evil and brutality.
"I will make all wombs explode simultaneously!" the giant Xing Jian roared with a deafening voice, filled with a desire for destruction.
Xiao Meng felt as if her worldview was about to shatter. What kind of absurd plot was this? Starlight Baby, Witch Clan, Time-Space Womb... Her journey in this other world was more dramatic than a soap opera!
Before Xiao Meng could collect her thoughts, a pair of icy hands suddenly gripped her throat. It was Jing Hai!
His arms, composed of countless mirror shards, glimmered with a dangerous light. The mirrors reflected Xiao Meng's terrified face and the deep despair in her eyes.
A choking sensation enveloped her; Xiao Meng felt it hard to breathe as her consciousness began to blur.
"Let... me... go..." she managed to say with great difficulty, struggling desperately but unable to budge Jing Hai even slightly.
The shadow of death loomed over Xiao Meng. Was she really going to die? Die in this nonsensical other world? Die at the hands of these crazed individuals?
No... she wouldn't accept it! There were still many things she hadn't done; she hadn't gained Black-hearted Grandpa's recognition yet; she hadn't unraveled the mystery of her origins; she hadn't... said a proper goodbye to Sunshine.
“Sunshine…” Xiao Meng called out weakly, using her last bit of strength.
Sunshine looked at Xiao Meng in pain, wanting to rush over to save her, but was firmly held back by Xing Jian.
“Xiao Meng!” Sunshine shouted, his voice filled with despair.
Just as Xiao Meng was about to lose consciousness, Wu Yue's shadow's Serpent-shaped Uterus, which had been hidden in the darkness, suddenly began to split apart.
The Serpent-shaped Uterus, which had resembled a giant python coiled in the shadows, began to writhe violently. Its smooth skin started to crack, as if some force from within was tearing it apart.
The cracks multiplied and deepened until, with a loud bang, the Serpent-shaped Uterus exploded!
This was no ordinary explosion; it resembled some bizarre birthing ritual. Countless fragments flew out, each radiating a chilling light like stars twinkling in the night sky.
What was even more horrifying was that each fragment rapidly transformed into… a baby!
Yes, babies!
These infants varied in form and skin color; some were as pale as snow, others as dark as coal, and some even exhibited strange blue or green hues.
But they all shared one common feature—their eyes!
Their eyes were not the innocent and clear eyes of normal babies; instead, they glimmered with an eerie golden light, cold and cruel like those of a serpent.
“What the hell is going on?” Xiao Meng thought frantically.
She felt as if she had stumbled into a horror movie set, surrounded by an atmosphere filled with strangeness and unreality.
The sensation of suffocation still lingered; Jing Hai's hand remained tightly gripping her throat, but she could no longer focus on that.
All her attention was drawn to these suddenly appearing babies.
Each of these infants emitted powerful energy waves, as if harboring some terrifying force within them.
They floated silently in midair, yet exuded an immense sense of pressure.
Suddenly, the eyes of all the babies turned towards Xiao Meng simultaneously.
In that moment, Xiao Meng felt as if her soul were being drawn in.
She saw countless images flashing before her eyes—memories she had never experienced yet felt inexplicably familiar, as if etched into her very bones.
The Ancient Priestess prayed at the altar, reciting ancient incantations; the Future Scientist busied herself in the laboratory, manipulating complex instruments; the Otherworldly Princess danced gracefully in the palace, her face radiating happiness…
These Memory Fragments flashed through Xiao Meng's mind like a revolving lantern, causing her head to throb painfully yet leaving her utterly astonished.
She finally understood who she was.
She was not an ordinary human girl; she was the Ancient Priestess, the Future Scientist, the Otherworldly Princess… she was a fusion of all these identities!
And these babies were fragments of her memories, the source of her power!
Just as Xiao Meng felt herself being overwhelmed by these memories, all the infants' pupils reflected a single phrase:
“The child of the True Priestess is about to be born…”
The words hung in the air like an ancient prophecy, or perhaps a mysterious summons. However, before Xiao Meng could fully comprehend their meaning, they abruptly ceased.
Suddenly, the infants transformed into shimmering specks of starlight, surging into Xiao Meng's body. Her form felt as if it had become a vast black hole, greedily absorbing the starlight. She sensed a profound change occurring within her; a powerful force surged through her, threatening to tear her apart.
"Ah..." Xiao Meng couldn't help but let out a pained groan.
Jing Hai seemed to notice her transformation as well. "What... exactly are you?" His voice carried a hint of confusion and fear.
Xiao Meng did not respond; she was beyond the ability to speak. Her consciousness began to fade, and everything around her twisted into distortion.
At that moment, an ancient voice echoed in her mind: "Child... you have finally... awakened..."
It was the voice of Xiao Meng's Old Grandpa Plugin!
"Grandpa... is that you?" Xiao Meng summoned her last ounce of strength to ask within her heart.
"Child... remember... you are..."
The old man's voice grew weaker until it vanished completely. Xiao Meng lost all awareness.
"What... what happened to her?" Sunshine asked anxiously.
Jing Hai remained silent, his gaze fixed on Xiao Meng, his eyes reflecting a complex array of emotions.
Suddenly, Xiao Meng's body began to emit a dazzling light. This radiance was more intense than ever before, as if it sought to illuminate the entire world.
"This... this is..." Jing Hai began, but just then, a harmonious chant resonated from within Xiao Meng…
