The withered, black buds sprouted from the barren earth.

The pitch-black Netherworld spread across the battlefield like a torrent, and beneath its calm surface, it seemed as if terrifying and ferocious monsters were lurking.

Wherever the Netherworld Mark went, it enveloped everything, turning it into decay. The indistinct syllables uttered by the demons turned into wails, and were ultimately devoured.

They used their bodies and despair as nourishment.

New buds are growing.

The decaying giant tree that once appeared in the Water Marsh territory instantly appeared on the battlefield after spinning.

Prior to this, the elves on other battlefields sensed their connection to the World Tree being severed...

They had experienced that kind of despair.

But what they heard was... a divine voice from Chtholly.

"You've all grown up well."

...

On the battlefield, Zophia witnessed a red figure atop a decaying giant tree.

Blood-red long hair, cold and empty eyes.

Zofia murmured, "Ctholly..."

"Li Wei's mother..." Zuo Feiya cursed angrily, "She actually aborted a perfectly good child!"

You're a human being too, you bastard!

Although Zofia was angry, she wasn't worried about anything... As long as it was Li Wei, Chtholly would definitely be able to turn back into her original form.

Jasmine, Lala, and Diamond came to Zofia's side, marveling at the spectacular scene before them.

Lala and Jasmine exchanged a glance and decided to add a little something extra... If it were a rotten giant tree, they could definitely do it!

While Zofia was searching for Li Wei, Da Moli and Lala's thoughts were already drawn to Minghen's peculiar nature.

They were surprised to find...

Minghen unexpectedly had a strange reaction with his own poison and curse.

It has been elevated!

...

When Li Wei returned to the public eye, he opened his hand, and a bright green leaf appeared in his palm.

Life transforms into decay, and in essence, they are the same... but even Li Wei is unsure if it is possible to turn back after transformation.

During the card game, the landlady can act as a substitute for decay, and can revert back to her original form once the game ends.

Just like Cinderella, who, after the midnight bells toll, will turn back into Xiao Nan Niang.

But reality is different.

Ctholly is now locked away from love and affection.

Like a puppet driven by commands, she was now only driven by the single command 'kill the demon'.

But it was still too much of a stretch.

To restore Chtholly to her original cute and innocent state, Levi came up with a solution... anchoring.

Before Chtholly embraced decay, she separated a part of herself.

“As long as the leaf hasn’t withered, we can use it as an anchor point to bring it back to the original Chtholly,” Li Wei said.

"What a risk," Zofia muttered, clearly disliking the idea.

But Chtholly definitely agreed.

With Li Wei involved, even a child like Ctholly would become radicalized.

"However, the key problem remains unsolved," said Jasmine helplessly. "I really don't understand... why can it be observed, but doesn't possess any material properties."

"It's not poison, it's not a curse."

"I even suspect this thing is some kind of ghost. Oh no, ghosts have weight too, 21.26g."

“If the problem can’t be solved, then let’s solve the problem itself,” Li Wei said with a smile. “The White Evils were brought by demons, so all we need to do is kill all the demons!”

Looking out at the spreading Netherworld Mark, Li Wei continued, "Now we can guarantee that we won't have to come into direct contact with the demons ourselves."

"It's unclear whether this can be resolved or slowed down the spread of the White Demon."

"At least it reduced the damage."

"How's your poison coming along?"

Jasmine and Lala exchanged a glance... raised their eyebrows and revealed a rather wicked smile, even more evil than the witch stepmother in a fairy tale.

The two then presented their results.

Lala poured a bottle of brownish powder into the Netherworld.

The Minghen suddenly began to boil, emitting bursts of white mist. Then, wherever the white mist spread, bright red mushrooms sprouted.

The mushroom, carried by the Netherworld Mark, drifted towards the demon's camp.

“I discovered that Minghen is alive... it’s part of a decaying giant tree, like an extended branch.”

"It contains the poisonous concept of decay targeting the spirit and soul, and the body."

"At the same time... it can also cause some slight changes in certain substances."

"After I added Minghen to the nutrient substrate for cultivating the Magic Mushroom, the characteristics of the Magic Mushroom changed."

"After being matured by magic and through iterative breeding."

"Successfully cultivated a mushroom with the following characteristics: bodily decay, aphrodisiac, mania, pain, suffocation, numbness, continuous poisoning, demonic nature, reduced lifespan, sensory confusion, soul pollution, and physical deformity."

"Furthermore, within the Netherworld, one can achieve ten revolutions, breaking through physiological limits!"

"The only drawback is that it can only survive by relying on the Netherworld Mark."

"I suggest moving the rotten giant tree to other fronts, so that the demons can experience the shock of the mushroom."

Jasmine's supplement:

"I used Minghen as a springboard to add some mentally manipulative illusions and curses to Minghen."

"It is divided into three parts: the first part is the ordeal of writing papers, the second part is setbacks in the workplace, and the third part is family discord."

“The former…” Li Wei stopped: “No need to say anything, I understand, I understand everything.”

The three stages one must go through in life: academics, career, and family...

After finally obtaining his degree and entering the workforce, he became a corporate slave. Relying on his excellent stress resistance, he rose steadily, only to be laid off. When he returned home, his once loving wife sat on the sofa with a dark face, not saying a word and leaving him to guess.

It hurts, it hurts too much.

In addition, the mushroom's health deteriorated.

In addition, there is the concept of nihilism attached to Minghen.

Li Wei couldn't help but shiver.

"You guys are truly the most vicious!"

Da Moli scratched her head shyly: "Not as good as you."

Lala humbly replied, "Likewise."

Zuo Feiya watched the three of them exchanging compliments, feeling rather helpless.

They even tortured the demon! That's inhuman! I'm too merciful; I just killed him with one sword.

The diamonds who came here to learn advanced experience benefited greatly and began to consider how to address the root cause of the problem: their boss, Rex, was still alive and affecting their future promotions.

In short... with Minghen's assistance, the Black Legion's casualties were minimized, requiring only a few scouts to observe the situation.

The scout skeleton who returned alive also brought good news.

Wherever the Netherworld Traces passed, nothing grew; countless demons met their end, their corpses littering the fields.

Even Little Black and the Queen of the Dead joined the Great Jasmine Organization's advance victory celebration and discussed whether to extend this method of slaughtering demons to other fronts.

Unfortunately... Chtholly couldn't last that long; the supporting green leaf was already showing signs of withering.

Li Wei did not attend the victory celebration; instead, he found a high place to observe the situation of the demons.

As far as the eye could see, there were countless demon corpses.

However, the demons were surprisingly weak.

Although our side successfully turned the tide of the battle thanks to our mechanics, Li Wei believes that these demons are too weak.

Li Wei pondered, resting his chin on his hand. The reason Xiao Hei came to ask for help was because of Bai Nie, not because of the demon's own combat power.

Now, the demon has been easily dealt with...

If they are the source of the White Evil, then the problem is easily solved.

What if not?

At least for now, the battle situation is improving. All we need to do is leave the game running and wait for Minghen to break through the demons and achieve victory!
