A strange, ominous aura emanated from the sticky note.
Gradually, an eyeball filled with malevolence grew on the paper.
It restlessly swiveled.
At last, it gazed at Rui Ze.
Under the stare of the Evil Eye, Rui Ze’s body began to mutate rapidly.
“Great Evil-Eyed Worm, my Exalted Lord, your most faithful servant is willing to serve you!”
From Rui Ze’s once blood-filled, empty eye sockets, two eyeballs exactly like the Evil Eye slowly emerged.
And they continued to multiply.
His body secreted a viscous, foul-smelling fluid.
The sticky note gradually fused with the ground.
Suddenly, everything changed.
The ground split open with a pitch-black crack, which continued to widen.
A pale, slippery body thrust up from the fissure, as if in great haste.
But the crack could not expand fast enough to match its pace, so only a small part of its head managed to emerge.
Even so, there were thousands of Evil Eyes, endlessly probing this world.
The contamination spread relentlessly.
Those thousands of citizens abruptly regained consciousness, collapsing to the ground in agony, writhing and wailing.
Their bodies, too, began to transform like Rui Ze.
At this moment—
A massive coffin hurtled down from the sky.
Rain’s attention was instantly caught by the enormous creature about to break through the clouds.
Her face was grave as she looked over.
But with just one glance, a feeling of revulsion and disgust surged up from deep within her heart.
That bizarre white creature, covered in black spots, was a colossal worm. Those black spots were actually its eyes.
They covered its entire body.
Then, her own body felt as if something was about to burst out, but in an instant, the sensation vanished.
She understood clearly: it was Her Highness the Goddess who had erased the presence of that thing called “contamination” for her.
Otherwise, she would have been contaminated by now.
Turned into a creature like those people below.
Seeing the tragic state of those people,
Rain’s heart filled with hatred, but she forced herself to suppress her emotions for now.
In the face of the unknown, recklessness was not an option.
“Captain Lyle, Li Ang, Qiongsi, I’ll get you out of here first. Whatever you do, don’t look at that unknown creature!”
“What? I’m logging off already!?”
Li Ang looked confused, but the coffin was descending too quickly.
He couldn’t even open his eyes, completely unable to understand what Rain was saying.
“Honestly, it’s always up to you to carry us, Lady Rain!!”
Li Ang laughed in the end, while Lyle silently nodded.
In the next moment—
Three branches grew out of nowhere, wrapping around the three of them, then directly sending them to the ground.
Seeing the three of them safely reach the ground, Rain stared solemnly at the Evil-Eyed Worm.
To be precise, at the thousands of contaminated citizens.
***
Far away, in Bourn City.
This was a city famed across parallel Blue Star, its economy and level of development ranking among the world’s top three for years.
But right now, in the city—
The once smooth-flowing streets were jammed.
Hundreds of cars were stuck at a corner, horns blaring non-stop, but no one could move an inch.
Apparently, there had been a traffic accident up ahead.
Ruth gripped the steering wheel tightly, a sticker reading “Expert” still pasted on the lower right corner of her window.
“Ruth, looks like your luck isn’t great. First day with your license and you hit a traffic jam.”
“Yar, could you please be quiet? I can barely tell the gas from the brake anymore.”
Yar sighed helplessly. “Want me to drive instead?”
Ruth nodded repeatedly, clearly having wanted this from the start.
Seeing this, Yar unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.
Ruth hurried out as well, heading for the passenger seat.
But for some reason,
Yar suddenly froze beside the car door, staring blankly in one direction, as if drawn by something.
Ruth glanced at Yar, patted her on the shoulder, and called out tentatively.
“Yar?”
In an instant, a twisted face pressed up against Ruth’s eyes.
Its eyeballs spun erratically, brimming with chaotic evil.
Yar’s body, as boneless as a worm, clung tightly to her waist, her neck twisted into a spiral.
“Ah!!!…..”
***
Scenes like this played out countless times today.
Sinister contamination spread across Blue Star.
Messiah raised a coffin—over a thousand meters long—and charged at the head of the Evil-Eyed Worm.
Rui Ze, now transformed by the Evil-Eyed Worm, instantly noticed her.
He was slightly startled.
“Messiah!”
As a research staff member at the Containment Facility, he was naturally aware of Messiah—and very familiar with her.
After all, he had personally participated in experiments using Messiah to destroy several containment objects.
Messiah’s gaze immediately landed on Rui Ze, her face expressionless.
“So it was you. I should have guessed. In the end, you still touched the Evil God Summoning.”
Her eyes narrowed slightly, but there was not a hint of emotion in her look at Rui Ze.
Especially when she saw those thousands of ordinary citizens who had been mutated.
Rui Ze drew in a sharp breath.
He knew all too well how terrifying Messiah was.
So, under no circumstances could he let her stop the True Lord Evil-Eyed Worm’s plan!
“Faithful of the True Lord, now is the time for your sacrifice! Stop her!”
Rui Ze twisted his now-merged legs, quickly retreating from Messiah.
A strange smile curled at his lips.
“Faced with the humans you care for most, what will you do, Messiah?”
“Aren’t you the self-proclaimed savior? Then come and save them!”
Rui Ze let out a cold, deranged laugh.
Full of utter disdain for Messiah.
He knew exactly where Messiah’s weakness lay.
Thousands of Evil-Eyed Worm minions, obeying Rui Ze’s command, surged frantically toward Messiah.
They fought to get ahead, utterly indifferent to the deaths of their companions.
Each minion’s head split open at the mouth, dividing into three sections, from which a tongue-like, extremely long organ extended.
At the tip was an Evil Eye, adorned with three sharp barbs.
Barbs shot out, crossing hundreds of meters, piercing toward Messiah.
She watched it all in silence.
Then, she swung the coffin.
The thousand-meter-long giant coffin smashed into the ground, letting out an earth-shattering roar, crushing the earth into a deep depression.
As the coffin came down,
Rui Ze’s malicious grin froze.
The smile vanished from his face.
“What!”
Before his shock could subside,
A peerless figure appeared before him, single-handedly hoisting the several-thousand-meter-long, pitch-black coffin.
She stared at him in silence.
Rui Ze could not move at all.
“How could you… how is this possible?”
“When did I ever say I cherished all of humanity? Do you really think they can still be called human?”
“I don’t care how it happened, I only care about the result.”
