"What little fox cub? That's your grandpa!" Miyel grabbed onto Wang Ya, who nearly fainted. She hoisted Wang Ya over her shoulder and ran towards the exit of the ruins.
The task Miyel received was to escort Wang Ya away if any unexpected situations occurred.
Now, Master Fuli said there's an egotist in the ruins wanting to call himself king. No need to think about anything else, she would just act like a madam, nearly getting her backside scorched through by a lighter.
And that thing inside the ruins wants to be an emperor.
If Master Fuli doesn't knock its head crooked, Miyel feels that Master Fuli should have brought more scythes.
But during the evacuation process, Miyel didn't forget to curse Wang Ya.
What fox cub, mind your words, if your talking gets me scorched by a lighter again, I'll take you straight to the International Court and sue you for abusing protected plants.
"Fox...."
Dragged away, Wang Ya looked longingly at Master Fuli's back, showing a face full of sorrow.
"Master Fuli.... you hide so well!"
Wang Ya's sorrowful voice reached Master Fuli's ears from outside the ruins.
"What am I hiding, you never came to ask me...." Master Fuli tossed back the comment without even turning his head, looking over at the position of the load-bearing board above the ruins.
Unos, who came out earlier, didn't run away but diverted to the top of the load-bearing column in the ruins to save people.
Unos pulled up a genetic transposer and directly threw him outside the ruins courtyard, not even bothering to take a glance.
Whether they live or die doesn't matter.
But not dying inside the ruins, becoming fodder for that egg's consumption and assimilation is extremely important.
......
Inside the ruins, after Master Fuli left.
The "egg" lying on the second floor pulsated, as the commando squad members who had entered the ruins unknowingly walked to the "egg" under the manipulation of an unknown force, murmuring some English words.
Chants filled with hatred, anger, unwillingness, and yearning echoed in the room.
"Crack...."
The gray-white eggshell gradually weathered and cracked, slender arms covered with gray carapace extended from the eggshell, tearing open a way out of it.
Obvious female-like bare feet stepped on the metal floor of the mental hospital ruins.
Her insteps were armored, but her soles were uncovered, a fresh pink color with visible lines on the soles.
When her feet touched the ground, ripples formed on the metal surface, and the crimson substance began to spread out rapidly from the foot.
The commando team member closest, as if ignoring the red substance sprawling beneath them, continued holding onto the eggshell with one hand and, covering their chest with the other, reciting poems filled with resentment with closed eyes.
Finally.
The [Perfect Defect] hidden inside the shell woke in early October 2024 after countless years of slumber.
In a female form, the [Perfect Defect] stepped out of the shell, her entire body covered by gray carapace except at her shoulders, where holes exposed muscle tissue instead of skin.
The carapace was not her original appearance but rather armor proliferated during [Self-Adaption].
Her height was about 2.3 to 2.4 meters, but upon contact with the outside air, she shrank to approximately 1.73 meters.
The carapace covering her entire face tightened, revealing her mouth while the parts covering her nose and eyes became twisted and developed into horn-like structures resembling bat ears at her eyes.
"Starry sky...."
"King of the Universe...."
"I want to go to the starry sky, return to the clan, become part of the King of the Universe, journey into the unknown.... go home." The [Perfect Defect] slowly said, her chaotic memories unable to form a coherent picture.
Only the deep regret and resolute will deep in her bloodline told her what she should do and where she must head.
Three thousand four hundred and sixty-three defective life forms fused into the [Perfect] at the brink of death.
They each had different experiences, different fates, and regrets...
But they all shared one experience.
That is, lying foolishly in the hospital, watching the entire Blue Star evolve into spherical beings and leaving.
Why did the clan leave? Cognition-impaired patients actually didn't deeply understand, but they didn't want to be separated.
"Ah—"
Bearing her self-crowned name, the [Perfect Defect] walked silently, reaching the steps as she was about to leave the ruins, a wave of cheers and applause erupted joyfully behind.
Standing on the crimson substance, the commando team members bleached gray, their bones lost support, causing them to collapse like mollusks until they dissolved entirely into liquid.
Globules of liquid flowed quickly toward the King of the Universe position via the red substance, integrating into his body through the exposed feet, becoming part of him.
The previously flat chest of the King of the Universe swelled, armor on the back of the head began to retract, golden hair fell, the posterior increasingly elevated, while the front became bulging.
The crimson substance expanded rapidly, always preceding the King of the Universe.
In a blink, the entire mental hospital interior was covered in a layer of crimson substance, transforming and developing into plant-like structures hanging from the roof, spreading outward.
The substance flowed out the main door, akin to blood, streaming down the steps into the hospital's forecourt.
Hidden outside the wall, Unos lifted a hand aiming at the main door, splitting the crimson substance within, creating a path directly leading to the main door without crimson substance.
The doorsteps formed two silent endpoints with Master Fuli, holding the Gravity Hammer.
The hospital hall was silent until a faint shadow gradually appeared in front of the door.
The King of the Universe, with a carapace-covered, slightly feminized body, appeared at the door.
"Do you have a discharge certificate from the doctor?"
Master Fuli, seeing the King of the Universe, didn't care about its appearance, nor why it emanated a benevolent aura. Instead, he held the Gravity Hammer tightly, his arm muscles bulging.
With a swift move, Master Fuli charged forward; the Gravity Tenderizing Hammer Pro glowing within with amassed ethereal shining, reacting fiercely.
Facing the King of the Universe, Master Fuli swung his hammer heavily, faster than wind and sound, unleashing a blow at the King of the Universe's form.
"Boom—"
Scorching flames fueled-burst the air at the hospital door; a sonic wave explosion ascends like thunder erupting on dry land, accompanied by air screeching and steam instantly exploding.
Blasts erupted from the fracture bottom spraying avalanche-like shockwaves.
The King of the Universe's body twisted, transforming into an arrow, rocketing into the hospital, piercing the hallway and crashing into an unearthed ravine wall, shaking the hill.
Fissures spread across the cliff; compressed shockwaves sprayed, wedging the shattered canyon.
The ravine next to the ruins collapsed, rocks falling from hollow voids onto the ground.
Master Fuli soared with the shockwave.
