Collapse, I'll Transform and Punch You Directly

Vill-V took out a magnifying glass and aimed it at the most eye-catching roasted fish, as if trying to discern something from it.

"Heh."

Chijie didn't respond to Vill-V's praise, but the smile on his lips couldn't be suppressed.

"Hmph, enough with the nonsense. I have things to do after eating."

Mobius deliberately chose a seat next to Vill-V and then continued, raising her drink, "Would you like a drink?"

"How rare, Doctor. You're actually inviting me."

Vill-V found it a bit strange but didn't suspect anything else. After pouring herself a drink, she clinked glasses with Mobius.

"Clink!" x2

After personally watching Vill-V drink the beverage, Mobius immediately revealed a smug, triumphant smile.

"Huh!?"

The moment the liquid touched her lips, Vill-V immediately sensed something was wrong, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Pfft!!"

Vill-V couldn't help but spray the drink from her mouth.

With quick reflexes, Kevin, his face darkening, acted immediately, freezing the liquid in mid-air and successfully preventing the food on the table from being contaminated.

"Mobius, you did this? You drugged my drink? No, I just poured it myself?"

Vill-V struggled to wipe the residual liquid from her mouth, a strong, unpleasant odor lingering that she couldn't get rid of.

"Hmph hmph hmph, guess?"

Mobius's smug smile widened, no longer concealing her inner glee. She raised the hand holding the cup and curled her little finger.

The moment they clinked glasses, she had flicked the powder hidden in her fingernail into Vill-V's cup.

She had originally intended to give her a laxative, but the ingredients for that were used to make a sleeping aid, so she used that instead.

"Damn it, Mobius, you actually drugged me."

Vill-V gulped down several mouthfuls of water handed to her by Elysia, but it still couldn't eliminate the strange taste.

"It's fine, the medicine is harmless. At most, you won't be able to taste anything tonight except for this strange flavor."

Seeing her scheme succeed, Mobius switched to taunting mode.

"!"

Hearing Mobius's words, Vill-V felt as if struck by lightning. She looked at the dazzling array of delicacies on the table, her pupils trembling.

The reason the dishes were so abundant today was because Chijie had caught a big fish that satisfied him, and two little guests had come to the apartment.

Dishes of this caliber were not common! To have such a rare occasion and not be able to taste anything!?

"Mobius, I'm going to fight you!"

Vill-V, with her arms flailing, stood up and lunged at Mobius.

"Are you scared of me? You made me hang there for so long last night, and I'm still mad!"

The two then began to tussle.

The others continued to eat as if nothing unusual was happening, as if this kind of thing was commonplace.

"Kid, you..."

Chijie specially cut a large piece of golden-brown roasted fish and placed it in front of Bai Chen, then poured a spoonful of a sauce as clear and red as a ruby over it.

Instantly, a unique aroma of roasted fish erupted, mixed with a tantalizing savory flavor.

"Wow! Chijie, you're playing favorites, giving Bai Chen special treatment!"

Elysia, noticing Chijie's actions, joked from the side.

"Fine."

Chijie disdained to explain further.

"Bai Chen, Chijie is openly showing favoritism, you know? That sauce is Chijie's secret recipe, and even we haven't had it much."

Elysia said to Bai Chen with a smile, then put on a feigned look of regret to highlight Bai Chen's luck.

"Wow, the last time I ate that was half a year ago."

Pardo looked at the meat on Bai Chen's plate with longing in her eyes. It wasn't just because of the sauce, but because the piece Chijie cut for Bai Chen was the most succulent part of the entire fish.

"Uh..."

Seeing the watery-eyed look Pardo was giving him, and noticing that Seele also seemed interested in the sauce after being influenced by them, Bai Chen felt a bit awkward.

So, Bai Chen looked up at Chijie, his eyes asking a silent question.

"You decide."

Chijie waved his hand helplessly.

"Since I can't finish this big piece of meat myself, why don't I share it with everyone?"

"Bai Chen, you're too kind! But isn't that a bit much?"

Pardo hopped happily, then seemed to glance sneakily at Chijie before pushing back.

"Do you want it or not?"

"Yes!"

Afterward, everyone ended their meal for the day amidst laughter and joy. Everyone was satisfied, except for Vill-V and Mobius.

After the two finished their fight, the main dish, grilled fish, was left with only a head and tail.

"Vill-V!"

Mobius, somewhat exhausted, gritted her teeth and glared at Vill-V, even more annoyed after the fight!

"Hahaha, I can't eat it all, and neither could you!"

Vill-V chuckled as she tidied her slightly messy makeup. If one didn't see her panting, they'd think she was perfectly fine.

"This is truly astonishing, absolutely astonishing."

Bai Chen had recorded the entire fight between the two. He thought he could show it to the people in the Elysian Realm when he went to World Serpent later.

Shocking! The Thirteen Flame-Chasers are doing this for grilled fish?!

He found it amusing, but he had to leave quickly to avoid worrying Kiana and the others. Otherwise, he would have stayed in this world bubble for a few more days to see what other antics they would come up with.

At night, Bai Chen lay on the bed that originally belonged to Kevin, closing his eyes peacefully. He had a happy time with them today, but it was a shame they would part ways tomorrow.

... He probably wouldn't see them again. Bai Chen estimated that this world bubble wouldn't last much longer, but what else could he do? He'd do what he could.

Not long after Bai Chen lay down, a black shadow spread into his room, and a colorless, odorless gas was released from it, filling the entire room.

Chapter 63: Serpent in the Night

Under the influence of the unknown gas, Bai Chen's breathing gradually stabilized, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

A green figure gradually emerged from the shadow, appearing as dangerous as a deadly snake under the moonlight.

It was Mobius. Mobius was not wearing her white lab coat at this moment; she had changed into the black, revealing formal dress that everyone was familiar with.

She moved like a slithering snake to Bai Chen's bedside, her pair of vertical pupils fixed on the sleeping Bai Chen, flickering with complex emotions.

Then, she reached out and took out something that resembled a syringe, slowly bringing it close to Bai Chen's fair skin.

"Bang!"

Just as Mobius was about to succeed, Bai Chen suddenly woke up and grabbed Mobius's arm, preventing her from getting any closer.

"You?!"

Mobius looked at Bai Chen in surprise. She had drugged him! This dosage was enough to make Chijie sleep for several hours!

"Since Elysia warned me that someone was targeting me, did you think I'd be foolish enough not to do anything?"

Bai Chen raised his hand, revealing a tiny black hole that was continuously devouring the surrounding air. Under Bai Chen's control, it didn't cause any damage to the surroundings, but all the gas was being absorbed into it.

"Eden's Star?"

Mobius pulled away, narrowing her eyes. Although she had been mentally prepared when Bai Chen summoned Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment, she hadn't expected him to actually be able to use it.

Elysia is really meddling. Couldn't she just not interfere?!

Could this kid use all the Divine Keys? No, maybe not just Divine Keys. Mobius's gaze towards Bai Chen became serious.

"So what? Doctor, what were you planning to do by sneaking into my room in the middle of the night?"

Bai Chen rolled over and stood up from the bed, staring intently at Mobius, ready to react to her next move.

"Little brother, aren't I just here to check on you at night?"

Mobius licked her lips and put on an act.

There's no other way to put it, Mobius is truly seductive. Even with them confronting each other, Bai Chen still gave her an honest assessment.

"You came to see me with a needle?"

Bai Chen was amused by her perfunctory excuse. If he hadn't stopped her just now, that needle would have gone into him!

Who knew what the consequences would be if that needle had been injected.

"Mobius, what exactly do you want to do!"

"Nothing, I just want to leave."

Seeing that Bai Chen was not going to be fooled, Mobius dropped the playful act and said with a cold face.

"Leave? You know?"

Bai Chen frowned.

"That's normal, isn't it? With a little investigation, anyone would know that this world is being destroyed! No one can stop this process, but the Serpent will not disappear. I will definitely escape from this hopeless world!"

Mobius's eyes were filled with hostility. She could attack at any moment.

She had long sensed the truth of the world's impending destruction. Ever since she learned the truth, she had been researching ways to leave this world.

Even for someone as brilliant as her, despite researching countless instruments, she still couldn't leave this world. A fractured world couldn't foster the creation of a complete instrument again.

If the world were complete now, she would have long ago created a device to leave this world. She wouldn't even need to create one; she could rely on a certain Divine Key. Unfortunately, it was all too late now.

But just as Mobius despaired, a special existence descended! He was a visitor from a complete world, and the Divine Key he summoned was even more complete than theirs!

Was there a more suitable test subject than this guy right here? He was practically a divinely chosen test subject!

"Wait, if you guys just want to survive, I can totally use my abilities to take you all away?"

Bai Chen felt there was no need for them to escalate things like this; there was room for negotiation.

"Do you believe that kind of talk?!"

Mobius directly interrupted Bai Chen.

"When you came, you only brought one person. Can you even control yourself? Why do you think you can take more people with you when you leave?"

Mobius's words struck Bai Chen's heart. It was true that he had come to this world in a daze, and even taking Seele with him wasn't something he was a hundred percent sure of.

Let alone the wishful thinking of taking anyone else. It was truly a pipe dream.

Suddenly, a shadow spread beneath Bai Chen's feet, and several black beams shot out from it, piercing towards him!

[Armament · Herrscher of Thunder]

The moment before Bai Chen transformed, he put something over his head, and those terrifying emotions had no effect on Bai Chen at this moment.

The practicality of Dignity was tested during the Herrscher of Reason incident.

A thunderclap echoed through the sky, accompanied by the sound of breaking windows. Bai Chen and Mobius vanished from Kevin's room, leaving the room in disarray.

Kevin: "Bro, that's not cool at all."

"You can transform? Are you a Ditto?!"
