"Ah! What is happening? It hurts so much!" At the concert below, Fang Jinke suddenly collapsed and began to convulse.
Almost simultaneously, similar occurrences erupted among the nearby crowd, jolting those who were lost in the music back to reality.
The sight of people convulsing and drooling was alarming, as if a mass food poisoning had struck.
Even among the members of the Common Unity Party who had come to help with the evacuation, many began to show signs of distress.
Perhaps it was the sound of the music that pulled everyone into this trance-like state, abruptly halting their evacuation efforts.
Everyone, without exception, fell into this condition. The oppressive atmosphere in the air continued to swell, seemingly carrying an aura of judgment that crashed down upon them. It split into several streams that connected to each fallen figure, as if forcing something in while simultaneously taking something away.
Not only beneath the Eastern Tower but across the globe, all locations affected by this live broadcast experienced similar phenomena. The gathering force at the top was drifting toward the Eastern Tower.
"I admit, you have held back quite a bit, but since I am now before you, let’s call it a truce. I won’t harm you either," Yang Xiaoyou said slowly as she gathered blue flames around her. Her eyes sparkled with blue light as she observed the changes near Dream Butterfly.
In a skirmish, she would find Dream Butterfly quite troublesome. However, if Dream Butterfly were to leave this place to launch an attack, she would not be a match for Yang Xiaoyou!
As long as her mental defenses held firm, she could forcibly break through any mental attacks!
Yet at the last moment, Yang Xiaoyou dared not let her guard down, fearing that her opponent might also take some countermeasures.
Although it seemed that the artifacts in her hands had other uses now, having been completely calculated against her, Yang Xiaoyou did not want to risk failure at this critical juncture.
Facing Yang Xiaoyou, Dream Butterfly remained indifferent.
However, with a sudden noise from the shadowy roof, several figures emerged, resembling marionettes, which made Yang Xiaoyou feel an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
It was the long-lost Huang Wei and his group of fools!
At that moment, it was clear that their weak will had been completely crushed by Dream Butterfly's spiritual power, leaving them in this puppet-like state. From the panic in their eyes, it seemed they understood their predicament but were unable to control their bodies.
"Well, I imagine you've already come to me upon hearing this sound. How do you like this gift?"
At that moment, an illusory projection of Dream Butterfly appeared behind Huang Wei and his companions.
"You don't really think that given my relationship with them, I would compromise at a time like this, do you? You know my bottom line; I won't threaten Menglu, but if I don't cross that line, do you think they have any hold over me?"
Looking at the terrified faces of his so-called friends, Yang Xiaoyou spoke coldly.
"Hehe, I have a pretty good idea of what you're thinking. That's right; these bugs hold a position in your heart that is neither light nor heavy. If it were just you alone, you could indeed stop them without a second thought. But don't forget, you have already assimilated another version of yourself, and I can always be by your side with his power. Don't tell me you've forgotten those Memory Fragments."
Clearly, the projection of Dream Butterfly was akin to a recording, while the real Dream Butterfly continued to exert full control over the Genesis Symphony.
Yet, such a recorded message caused Yang Xiaoyou's expression to darken significantly.
"Damn it! Huang Wei and his group really contributed at a time like this; they might as well be sacrificing themselves for the country. But right now, Yang Xiaoyou's face was anything but pleasant."
Her G-spot was completely clear to her!
Indeed, taking action against Huang Wei and his group would not provoke her greatest backlash, but within the Memory Fragments, on the rooftop of a towering building in the Chinese Empire, all of Huang Wei's group, including their families, were bound and pushed to the edge of the roof. The words of a Scarred Man who had just pushed a heavyset man off still lingered in her ears.
"They're your friends, right? Haha, having a friend like you is truly unfortunate. Tsk Tsk."
Then, amidst the wails of those around, they dragged the heavyset man's mother and pushed her off as well.
In their pursuit of her, the organization had indeed gone to great lengths. Even if it was just to investigate her friendships with Huang Wei and his group at school, they spared no effort, leaving no one alive!
Because of this, Yang Xiaoyou had always maintained a surprisingly high tolerance for these despicable fellows. After all, in her previous life, they had suffered greatly because of her.
Yet now, it seemed that this situation was repeating itself.
Clearly, Dream Butterfly understood her bottom line and tolerance far too well! This constant probing and testing around her limits was what truly made her hesitate.
"Save them? But these fellows in Heart really can't compare to the events unfolding before me.
Not save them? Watch as they jump one by one right in front of me?
If Dream Butterfly had captured Meng Lu right now, I wouldn't have to hesitate. I could abandon my plan and seek comprehensive and ruthless revenge afterward. The very reason I got involved in this matter was because of her. In that situation, there would be no need for hesitation; I am inherently a selfish person.
But faced with the current situation...
"Alright, I didn't expect to witness your tragedy a second time. However, I swear here that I will seek justice for your deaths! I will treat your families and parents well!"
After making the final decision, Yang Xiaoyou seemed to experience a transcendence in her state of being, and she immediately disregarded everything else. She shot through the air towards Dream Butterfly.
"As expected. You did not disappoint me."
At that moment, all the jade pendants on the roof began to shine brightly, seemingly forming a gigantic symbol. As Yang Xiaoyou and Dream Butterfly drew closer, it erupted into a blinding light, encasing both of them in a radiant sphere.
The dazzling white light flashed by, and instinctively raising her hand to shield herself, Yang Xiaoyou opened her eyes to find herself floating high above Shanghai City.
Looking down, she could see through the clouds, clearly distinguishing every blade of grass and tree on the streets below—a truly extraordinary sensation.
Raising her hand to observe her somewhat ethereal body, Yang Xiaoyou suddenly realized that she had completely detached from reality, existing purely as a manifestation of spiritual power.
The magical artifacts and the azure flames burning on her body were protecting her 'soul,' ensuring that even in this state of detachment from reality, she had not suffered any loss."
A thick aura hung in the air, and the souls were visibly condensing at an astonishing speed.
"Hehe, how does it feel to experience this for the first time?"
Just as Yang Xiaoyou was in shock, the voice of Dream Butterfly suddenly appeared beside him. Her enchanting figure also floated into view.
Clearly, although she looked just like her true self, she was undoubtedly in a similar state as him.
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to set me up in the end, deliberately presenting a dilemma to make me overlook your arrangements for a short time. You understand me better than I do."
After a self-deprecating smile, Yang Xiaoyou fully grasped the situation.
"Do you know why humans can think? Our current state is like treating the entire aura as a brain, protecting it while acting within. Perhaps, in Daoist terms, this is what we call 'entrusting to the void.'"
At this moment, Dream Butterfly still did not regard Yang Xiaoyou as a destructive force. She quietly stood beside him, also gazing down at the crowd below.
In this state, both of them could easily see the convulsing figures of humans facing evolution at the bottom. It was likely that similar scenes were unfolding around the globe.
Seeing that he could not stop it in the end, Yang Xiaoyou sighed. He had done his best; he could only feel guilt in his heart. What would happen next was for time to reveal. For now, he would just focus on being a good parent.
"What’s wrong? Are you thinking of giving up?" Dream Butterfly seemed to sense Yang Xiaoyou's fluctuations and turned her head with a hint of confusion.
Before Yang Xiaoyou could respond, she continued, "Are you interested in being a savior?"
Caught off guard by the sudden question, Yang Xiaoyou was momentarily stunned before responding with a hint of resignation.
"You know me best, so you understand my character. A savior? Perhaps I would be forced into that role when pushed to the edge, but I certainly do not desire such a title."
"Unfortunately, it's not as simple as wanting or not wanting it. When the World-Destroying Demon King attempted to implant the virus into every Human Body, your emergence ultimately turned the tide and awakened people's consciousness. Not only did you drive away the virus, but many humans also underwent changes. All those who evolved now carry the impression of your heroic stand in their minds. What do you think about that?"
Seemingly aware of Yang Xiaoyou's response, Dream Butterfly twirled her hair lightly and spoke in a tone that was both ambiguous and teasing.
"You?" A strange thought flickered in Yang Xiaoyou's mind, leaving him puzzled.
"Well, actually, now that you've reached your current level and begun to solidify your powers, you can sense it yourself. The reason they are brought to their demise is solely due to my unique spiritual corruption, which ordinary people cannot withstand. If you help disperse it and use your spirit to awaken them, even if you fail, it won't endanger your life."
After casting a knowing glance at Yang Xiaoyou beside her, Dream Butterfly's words left him feeling somewhat dazed.
Why was he putting in so much effort, even going against his own nature to intervene in such matters? Wasn't it simply because Dream Butterfly was too reckless and the mortality rate was too high?
He didn't reject the idea of evolution itself.
But at this moment...
"Why not say this sooner?"
Yang Xiaoyou looked at Dream Butterfly with a strange expression, unsure of how to feel about this situation.
"Would you have worked this hard if it were early? It's not certain that you could have reached your current state at this time. Without a whip to drive you from behind, you wouldn't even get out of bed to hurry along. Besides, if it weren't for your will, why should I care about the lives of humans? The Great Purge and the Destruction itself is indeed my intention; it was merely thwarted by you."
Lightly covering her lips, Eerie smiled before reaching out to tap Yang Xiaoyou's forehead.
Then she directly pulled him into her embrace. While he was momentarily stunned, she kissed his lips, and at the same time, Yang Xiaoyou felt Dream Butterfly's whispering voice in his heart.
"Even if the whole world betrays you,
I will stand behind you and betray the whole world."
A dazzling beam of light pierced through the ground, enveloping the entire Eastern Tower in its glow. From its center, a terrifying will began to spread outward.
This was a realm that completely transcended power! As long as I desire it! I can!
One by one, bodies began to convulse. Many humans who were on the brink of collapse suddenly felt a wave of comfort wash over them, as if every cell in their bodies started to moan.
One after another, they stood up again.
Looking around at their bewildered companions, everyone felt as if they were still dreaming.
Holding the unconscious Dream Butterfly, and with Feng Lin's support, Yang Xiaoyou also descended from the Eastern Tower. Behind him were the Hivemind Team Members leaning on each other in a disheveled manner, along with Luo Guohui being supported by Huang Wei and others.
Although everyone was covered in wounds, with the rising sun came a sense of limited hope.
Stepping out, he looked at the charming girl in front of him, who seemed to be waiting for him. A faint smile appeared on Yang Xiaoyou's face.
"Hey, I'm here."(THE END)
