I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

One of the insect beasts suddenly cried out urgently, and the other insect beasts began to stir restlessly, keeping watch on their surroundings. The Sky Beetle even pulled its mother insect along, speeding up its run to leave.

boom!

The sound waves from the object hitting the ground tore these insectoid beasts to shreds. It was the corpse of a giant beast, which, judging from its size, was an SSS-level creature. However, it was in a pitiful state, with almost all of its bones broken and many terrible lacerations on its body.

Accompanied by a violent hurricane, dusk instantly turned into night. A powerful aura that surpassed all existence descended fiercely, and all the mutated species lowered their heads deeply, not daring to look directly at the great being in the sky.

The enormous black dragon body of the Calamity hovered in the sky like a black hole, devouring all the light within its field of vision.

It seemed to be searching for something, and it seemed to have found it, so it kept circling in the sky.

Buzz... Buzz... Buzz... Buzz buzz... Buzz buzz buzz...

The destructive energy contained within the dragon's jaws grew increasingly intense; it was a spatial storm, a chaotic mass that seemed capable of shredding even the abstract concept of 'vision'.

It aimed at a region, and the torrent of spatial storms erupted, erasing the landscape like an eraser. After confirming that the target had been eliminated, the black calamity circled once more before the night dissipated.

"You piece of trash, we'll find you no matter where you run off to!"

Haiyuan

The mirage dragon's sun-like eyes suddenly opened, illuminating the pitch-black seabed where one couldn't see their own hand in front of their face. The clear blue water revealed everything.

Just now, its connection with Dieye was severed.

Dieye was a member of the plan, a producer of the Shining Moth, and an SSS-level mutant species, but suddenly she lost contact with it.

It was supposed to be a connection, but it was actually just a mark left on it by the Mirage Dragon, which allowed it to monitor its location in real time. But just now, that mark disappeared.

It was as if Dieye had suddenly vanished into thin air at the molecular level, disappearing extremely abruptly.

If it were just an SSS-level being killed, the Mirage Dragon would definitely think it's no big deal; death is death. But the most important thing is that Dieye has something it wants!

If it is discovered, its plan may be exposed.

The location is near the Ural Mountains!

The seawater surged restlessly in all directions, and the massive body of the mirage dragon, hidden on the seabed, stirred up the undercurrents, moving at an irrationally high speed through the water, rushing towards its target location.

On the other side, Si Mo held a dark red crystal the size of a human head in her hands, and held it up to the sun with great interest. The sunlight refracted through it, creating a hazy rainbow of colors.

"Hmph~~ This thing seems a bit unusual."

This is her spoils of war, obtained after she just defeated Dieye. It is an SSS-grade obsidian, but it is somewhat different, with subtle differences compared to ordinary SSS-grade obsidian.

It also seems to contain a subtle...divinity?

"Hmph... So this is what they call a mutant species... But why isn't the other one?"

She had just killed two mutated creatures; one of them was the one she had thrown from the sky. The second one was destroyed by her spatial breath.

Well, this thing can't be guaranteed to appear anyway, right?

"Ha~~m".

Si Mo looked at the head-sized 'candy bean', and her little mouth, as if made of clay, stuffed it into her mouth in one bite. Then, the head-sized thing seemed to shrink a lot the moment it entered her mouth, and she chewed it.

The moment it entered her body, it transformed into a torrent of heat, surging within her. Yet, this seemingly petite body was like an unchanging cage, locking it firmly inside until it was completely absorbed.

"Mmm! It tastes good! We want more!"

Si Mo stared with satisfaction, making no move, when a gust of wind suddenly rose around her, and a black aura formed a ferocious dragon head behind her, the aura of black calamity spreading in waves to a great distance.

This thing directly brought her closer to her strength level from a few years ago, the level she was at before she gave her crystal core to Yan Ziming. Back then, she had swallowed the Otherworld Sea and then this thing, which was already very close to her peak strength.

"Mutant species... I really hope there are more of these things~~ If there are more of them, maybe we can get ahead of that mantis shrimp."

She had no intention of telling Yan Ziming and the others the news; she wanted to keep this good thing to herself. Who wouldn't want to take things a step further?

In the distance, Qing, sensing the aura of the black calamity, stopped what he was doing. He roughly understood who was behind it, and his gaze gradually turned cold.

The Black Calamity is indeed a big problem; with her harassing me, my plans will most likely have to be postponed.

This is a race against time.

.......

"According to Zi Mo, if all the mutated species back then were Gu Kings, then there might be as many as seven of them. In that case, the fake Gu King we killed last time can be considered the real one."

"We can't be so sure yet. After all, this is just speculation, and we don't know the exact number of mutated species. Seven is just the number recorded."

"There's no time to lose, let's get started now. Even if we can't find the Gu King, we have to get rid of the mother worm first."

"Alright, let's begin! Our first target is the Mirage Dragon!"

Yan Ziming, who was at home, received a call from Li Haoyi. The call had only one purpose: to take Wen Xintong and carry out the previous mission.

That is, to find the mirage dragon.

Yan Ziming retorted without hesitation: "You guys are really good at ordering people around. I've only been back for two days. Can't you let me rest for a while?"

"There's nothing we can do. You're the only one who can communicate with that Princess Odyssey. She already said that she won't see anyone else unless it's you."

Li Hao passed the buck back to Yan Ziming, his unspoken message being: since you've brought this Buddha into your fold, you'd better take full responsibility and treat her well.

Yan Ziming had no choice but to agree, but to his surprise, Ina insisted on seeing him, showing she was still persistent.

"Alright, alright, let me ask Xian'er if she's free first."

Yan Ziming hung up the phone and knocked on Liu Mengxian's door. "Xian'er, are you free?"

"..."

There was no response for a minute, but Yan Ziming waited patiently outside the door.

Squeak—

A fragrant breeze wafted over, its aroma intoxicating.

Liu Mengxian seemed to have just finished taking a bath, and she came out halfway through. There were still some water stains around her tender white feet, and a few crystal water droplets hung on the curves of her calves. Her long hair looked like it was mixed with water. Yan Ziming boldly reached out and touched her hair, which was still damp.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Yan Ziming led her out of the house as if he were taking his wife's hand, and they arrived at the facility where Wen Xintong was.

After passing through several important defense lines, Yan Ziming entered an intensive care unit where Ina was lying on the bed.

Through the one-way glass, Yan Ziming could see the princess rolling around on the bed, looking utterly bored. Suddenly, like a cheetah spotting its prey, she looked towards the one-way glass and precisely locked onto her location. Before the smile could even appear on her face, she seemed to have seen something terrifying and regained her usual composure.

dong dong——

"Ina, I'm coming in."

"Mmm," Ina replied in a drawn-out tone.

Yan Ziming opened the door and entered. Ina, with her gentle and graceful demeanor, placed her hands folded between her legs and politely greeted them, "Sir Knight, and..."

"Liu Mengxian".

Uh?

Yan Ziming glanced at Liu Mengxian with a slight surprise.

"Alright, may I ask what business the Knight and Her Majesty Liu Mengxian have with Ina?"

Yan Ziming suppressed the unease in his heart and said, "I wanted to ask how your health is."

Ina looked somewhat tired. "I still don't feel quite right..."

"Don't listen to this guy's nonsense, all her health indicators are perfectly fine."

Luo Li's voice came from the loudspeaker. Yan Ziming stared quietly at Ina, who said calmly, "I'm feeling a little unwell."

Yan Ziming smiled calmly, "...Then it seems I have disturbed Your Highness's rest. Farewell."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Just kidding, I'm fine, perfectly fine! Sir Knight, can't you at least say a few more words of greeting?"

Ina scrambled off the bed, and Yan Ziming turned around, looking at her with a half-smile. "Then please lead the way, Your Highness?"

"Oysters can't do it."

91. How about trying a different target?

"Can't do it? Why?" Yan Ziming's almond-shaped eyes widened, thinking that Ina was up to something again.

It seems she, the knight, needs to turn against him and give him a "love lesson," turning him into a ruthless radar tool.

"My superpower has a limited range; it's impossible for it to cover every corner of the Earth."

Ina knelt on the bed and said in a serious tone.

She was telling the truth. Her superpowers weren't that abnormal, allowing her to explore every corner of the planet while standing still. If she truly possessed such abilities and they were spread around, countless people would want to destroy her. Even if she were the princess of Odyssey, they would still kill her without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming's brows relaxed. As long as he wasn't trying to be clever, that was fine.

"Alright, tell me the specific limitations of your superpower."
