What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

"Noah, Riva won't last much longer."

The moment Cecil saw the weapon that combined three types of supernatural abilities appear, he abandoned his arrogant and playful attitude, and his desire to kill reached its peak.

"Noah?! What are you thinking?"

Cecil frowned at Noah, who did not respond. Because of their positions, Cecil could not see the momentary overlap of Noah's double pupils, and even Noah himself did not notice anything unusual.

"Sorry, lost my mind."

Noah felt a throbbing pain in his temples, and his headaches had been getting worse lately. It was probably because medication alone couldn't repair the damage inside his body.

"You can keep a few humans as pets or slaves, it's up to you, but these few are not allowed, they must all be killed."

Cecil had a vague feeling that things were going off track and they were not following their initial plan.

Noah frowned, a strange sense of rejection creeping into his heart, but he always remembered his mission and his identity. "I know."

After Noah finished speaking, he stopped arguing with Cecil, got up, crossed space, and arrived at the chaotic first-floor laboratory, where he caught Riva, who was being attacked by Lu Yize, Morse, and Chen Mingzhang.

Noah glanced at Riva, who had been caught by him with one hand, preventing her from falling against the wall.

With not a single patch of undamaged skin on her body, her scales shattered, and her wings destroyed, Noah stated the facts calmly, "Riva, it looks like you'll need to lie in the recovery pod for a long time."

When the poor Riva saw Noah, who hadn't appeared earlier or later but had to show up at this particular time, wearing a human skin, he even used his powers to shield her from his clothes, as if afraid her blood would stain them. Riva couldn't stand their stupid faces and couldn't help but sneer in response.

"I am not like you delicate nobles. As long as I kill all these lowly humans and absorb their power cores, I will be healed."

"Noah, don't touch my prey."

Riva's gaze swept over Lu Yize, Chen Mingzhang, Morse and others, and finally landed on Xian Wenrui with burning intensity. This damned, low-level, ugly, mere second-tier human had actually caused her to stumble so badly!

How can I quell my hatred if I don't kill him and devour him?

Lu Yize and the others looked up and noticed Fan Jian, who had suddenly appeared out of thin air. No, to be precise, it wasn't Fan Jian, but a monster that had taken over Fan Jian's body.

He wore Fan Jian's face and communicated with the monster in an unknown language. Beneath that familiar skin was the same body as this bizarre creature.

Sheng Xue, who was continuously using her supernatural healing abilities, suddenly looked up the moment "Fan Jian" appeared, her gaze fixed on that familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Ever since Sheng Xue realized Fan Jian's abnormality, she had been suppressing her pain, but even now, she still couldn't get over it.

She could only watch helplessly as the familiar face revealed an expression of unfamiliarity she had never seen before. The monster killed Fan Jian, took over his body, and turned him into something neither human nor ghost.

Sheng Xue stared intently at "Fan Jian" without blinking, her eyes gradually burning, bloodshot and burning the corners of her eyes, making it too painful for her to look away.

Jiang Yue, who was in the mental system, sensed Sheng Xue's surging and complex emotions. She turned her head to look at Sheng Xue's hand, which was placed on the wheelchair and was clenched so tightly that it was covered in blood.

She was not far from Lu Yize and the others. Sheng Xue swallowed the metallic taste of the blood spreading in her throat, her voice suppressed to the extreme, sharp and distorted by pain.

She sat in her wheelchair, eyes closed, bent over, pleading with everyone present, "Please... kill him..."

She never imagined that one day she would set aside all her pride and self-respect, just to ask them to kill the person she loved most.

Lu Yize knew her pain. Although he did not reply, he looked up at "Fan Jian" who was surrounded by experimental subjects not far away.

A clear line of blood and corpses divided them into two sides, their opposing stances destined for a life-or-death outcome.

Since his soul has been extinguished, his body should not be left to be enslaved by monsters.

Noah's mental energy enveloped the entire laboratory. Upon hearing Sheng Xue's words, he revealed a smile no different from before, "Kill me?"

"Let's not even talk about whether you have the ability or not, Sheng Xue, are you really willing to let this body die?"

Sheng Xue stared intently into his eyes, looking at his split double pupils, trying to discern anything unusual, but unfortunately, she found nothing. Sheng Xue hated this monster intensely, harboring deep resentment and hostility towards him.

Meeting Sheng Xue's gaze, Noah understood her unspoken words.

Noah couldn't understand why anyone would value someone like Fan Jian, who had all of Fan Jian's memories and was clearly just an extremely ordinary and uninteresting soul.

Lu Yize, Xian Wenrui, Sheng Xue... they all cared about Fan Jian, who was so ordinary that he only knew how to suck up to others, rather than Nuo'er, who had been with them through so many things.

"Fine, I gave you a chance, but you insisted on making things this way."

Noah sighed softly. He quite liked the time he spent pretending to be Fan Jian. He didn't have to worry about too many conflicts of interest. In that dilapidated base at the foot of the mountain, they would eat the meat of alien beasts around the fire and chat with Xian Wenrui and others.

You can also let loose and hug the mutated dog's leg, calling it "Dog Brother," and act like a brainless person, just like Fan Jian.

It's a pity they insisted on breaking this lifestyle. If they hadn't escaped, he could have let them live peacefully in that small, dilapidated base for the rest of their lives.

Noah's bloodline is much purer than Riva's. Both are at the seventh rank, but the pressure emanating from Noah's power is on a completely different level from that emanating from Riva.

The heavily injured Riva chewed on the fourth-tier crystal core she had just dug out, staring at Noah with a mixture of hatred and envy. Damn bloodline, it's really something to be jealous of.
