[Mission Complete]

[Newbie Mission Evaluation Settling...]

[Returning to original world in 90 seconds]

[Return Immediately] [Return Later]

He Ao ignored the pop-up subtitles and translucent window in front of him. At this moment, the giant book phantom in the ritual array had solidified, and the closed eyes on the book's cover began to tremble.

His previous worry was correct. The ritual he knew was incomplete. The so-called 'Eternal Life' was actually the God of Knowledge devouring both soul and body.

In this ritual, the ritual caster himself was one of the sacrifices.

However, he had deliberately kept a clear mind during the ritual, maintaining his mental state through willpower so that his soul wouldn't be devoured during the process.

He persisted until the mission was complete, but somewhat unexpectedly, the game system didn't end the game directly, instead giving him a 90-second buffer time.

Of course, he had considered this possibility beforehand. He shifted his gaze to Selina, whom he had trapped. A lot could be done in 90 seconds.

Selina, unable to break free from He Ao's control, had gradually given up resisting. However, at this moment, she felt the tentacles binding her suddenly loosen, and the metal wires on her were instantly undone.

She circled a few times, looking at He Ao with some confusion, only to find that the lowest tentacles of He Ao's body wriggled, squeezing out a metal box and placing it beside her.

This was the metal box she had just unsealed, preparing to kill He Ao.

"The God of Knowledge Sub-body is weakest when it is first summoned."

He Ao didn't look back at her, but continued to pull out eight metal stakes from beneath him. Some flashing electric light flowed on the metal stakes.

These were the metal stakes from the confinement device that he had casually pulled out just now, and had been hidden beneath him.

The information about the God of Knowledge Sub-body's weakness was etched in the memories related to the summoning ritual, the purpose being to allow the ritual caster to consciously design a safe environment to protect the God of Knowledge's sub-body from harm.

However, He Ao felt that the God of Knowledge also had its own backup plan—such as directly eating the summoner to replenish strength.

But it didn't have that chance now!

And in the instant these thoughts flashed by, He Ao's massive body had already rushed towards the solidified giant book.

The book also seemed to sense the danger, flashing as if to leave the ritual array.

But He Ao was faster. With countless tentacles flying, the giant book was directly wrapped several times with long metal wires, and then the ports of these metal wires were all connected to the metal stakes that still had energy.

A dazzling electric arc flashed by.

Although the confinement device had been broken by He Ao, greatly reducing its effectiveness, the power it could unleash in a short time was still considerable.

The intense pain from the metal wires caused the book to briefly stop moving.

Long, barbed thin wires, like they were embedded in flesh, dug into the body of this giant book, and gurgling blood flowed out of the wounds.

This seemingly solemn giant book was entirely composed of flesh and blood.

Although Selina was a bit naive, she wasn't stupid. She instantly understood He Ao's plan.

He Ao wanted her to activate the metal box to kill the God of Knowledge's sub-body. To do this, he personally stepped forward to control the God of Knowledge Sub-body's movements.

Selina didn't know what He Ao was thinking, but she knew very clearly that this was her only chance now.

Regardless of whether there was any conspiracy, she had to seize every opportunity to kill the God of Knowledge's sub-body.

So she didn't hesitate to place her hand on the metal box.

Layers of hazy light lit up on the box again.

To allow soldiers to use their weapons at any time, the encryption set by the Federation usually only required biological verification for the second time after the first key verification passed. Even if the soldier responsible for opening the box only had a little bit of their body left, they could still activate the attack through biological authentication at the last moment.

And just as Selina placed her hand on the box, the closed eyes on the book suddenly opened, revealing huge eyeballs inside. These eyeballs quickly rotated and looked at Selina.

Crazy, chaotic knowledge rushed into her mind in an instant, about to twist her thoughts.

However, this knowledge came and went quickly. After only a brief moment of daze, Selina regained her senses. She looked in the direction of the book, only to find that He Ao was using seven or eight tentacles to directly cover the book's eyes.

Can the pollution from an Evil God Sub-body be blocked like this?

Selina was stunned for a moment, but she didn't have time to think too much. The closed box clicked open slowly.

The pollution from an Evil God Sub-body naturally couldn't be easily blocked. He Ao blocking the book's sight meant that he was bearing the crazy, chaotic knowledge for Selina.

Of course, his mental resistance might be a little higher than Selina's. Anyway, this chaotic, crazy knowledge had no effect on him.

Immediately, he shifted his gaze to the metal box.

He was also very curious about what kind of thing was in this metal box that could kill an Evil God Sub-body.

Plasma cannon? Laser cannon? Railgun?

As the box gradually opened, he also saw clearly what was inside.

The box was densely packed with exquisite mechanical components, and in the very center of these mechanical components was placed... a bright red, evil heart.

Although this heart had been separated from its body, it was still beating strongly and powerfully. He Ao seemed to hear deafening heartbeats like war drums in his ears.

This heartbeat made his blood boil, making him want to fight, to slaughter wildly, to destroy everything in front of him.

Killing people indiscriminately seems to be illegal.

In this instant, like a basin of cold water poured over his head, He Ao's mind cleared. He realized that he had almost been corroded by the pollution of this heart just now.

However, Selina, standing behind the box, seemed to feel nothing at all. She also had no intention of looking at the contents of the box.

It seemed that only by 'gazing' at this heart would one be polluted.

This world is really dangerous. Seeing anything you shouldn't see can lead to pollution.

He Ao averted his gaze from the heart, and at the same time he did so, the dense machinery surrounding the heart quickly began to operate.

Under the operation of this machinery, the beating heart seemed to suffer some kind of violent stimulation. Bright red beams of light burst out from the heart, instantly piercing through the God of Knowledge's sub-body and He Ao, who was restraining the God of Knowledge's sub-body.

The giant book twisted for a moment when it was hit, trying to break free from He Ao's control, but soon, it quieted down. Its entire body was covered in blood-red light, gradually stiffening.

At the same time, He Ao also felt a terrifying, twisted battle intent eroding his body.

He braced himself, crushing the remains of the Evil God Sub-body in his arms. A hazy, pure white light suddenly emerged from these remains and entered his body.
