Lin Shuang: You're Jealous of a Cake Cat?
It didn't kill the King Insect with a single blow.
This level of control is outrageous.
Lin Shuang clicked her tongue in amazement, and then in a flash, she stood atop the King Insect's head.
The Threads bound the King Insect layer by layer, and then the surging power of Path began to rush wildly into the King Insect's body.
[Riding] Go!
Because the ability to think has been robbed by Nihility, even one's instincts have been taken away.
This time, Lin Shuang's erosion was no longer hindered.
A continuous stream of power was forcibly drawn from Jianmu and Phantylia's bodies and then injected into the King Insect's body.
Normally, when under control, it would quickly become full and then completely degenerate into Lin Shuang's Mount.
But this time...
Lin Shuang felt as if the King Insect beneath her was a bottomless pit.
I've been filling it for ages, but I still don't know how much I've actually filled.
"Ten seconds left..."
Gepard had already sheathed her sword and came to Lin Shuang's side, glancing curiously at the current situation.
And a reminder of the time was given.
"Tsk--I'm afraid it's too late."
Lin Shuang realized that she might have been making some assumptions this time.
Although I don't know where the problem lies, it's probably because of the Emanator.
With only ten seconds left, the King Insect's devouring power was like a bottomless pit, with no end in sight.
The wait wasn't long.
Not only was Gepard curious, but Ruan Mei, who was silently monitoring the area, was also curious.
I'm curious to see just how far Lin Shuang is capable of.
"Three seconds left--"
"It's no use, the first attempt failed--"
"Two... one..."
Ruan Mei's calculated time of death has arrived.
However, the King Insect beneath Lin Shuang's feet showed no signs of dying immediately.
No, it's not entirely true that there isn't any.
At least in Lin Shuang's perception, the power of Path poured into its body began to spread out uncontrollably and was then reabsorbed by the Herrscher Core.
The life force of the King Insect was also rapidly fading, and its body began to disintegrate.
However, the Power of Abundance that was injected into his body by the [Riding] skill seemed to have a certain effect as it dissipated.
It extended the lifespan of the King Insect.
However, the finite lifespan of the King Insect is like a broken water bottle.
Lin Shuang's speed in repairing the water bottle was far outpaced by the rate of leakage.
Ruan Mei, who was monitoring the situation from a distance, had already planned to turn off the camera.
But when he realized the timer had ended and the King Insect hadn't turned to ash, his eyes widened in surprise:
"No, what happened? The calculation was wrong... No, Lin Shuang did something at the last minute."
Ruan Mei was rarely surprised by experimental results, and even experimental failures were not enough to surprise her.
But the fact that something that should have been under control inexplicably went wrong was what made Ruan Mei's breathing quicken.
If the power of the Jianmu alone can prolong the life of the King Insect.
That would be underestimating Ruan Mei's skills.
If it were Emanator of Abundance, that would be a different story, but the power of Jianmu alone is clearly insufficient.
In Ruan Mei's view, what Lin Shuang did in the end was definitely not just a simple matter of pouring the power of Path into her.
"I can make mistakes too, haha~ It's been so long since I felt that way."
Ruan Mei smiled at Lin Shuang's appearance in the picture.
Her gentle smile lacked any human warmth.
That was curiosity about the unknown, and a thirst for experimental subjects.
Although Ruan Mei had known for some time that Lin Shuang possessed some strange abilities, she never imagined that these abilities could be this extraordinary.
On-site observation of the King Insect --
"..."
Lin Shuang released the control of the Threads and also gave up the continuation of [Riding].
The overflowing power was reclaimed by the Herrscher Core, further accelerating the death of the King Insect.
Gepard looked at the slowly dying King Insect at her feet, somewhat surprised:
Did the genius's prediction go wrong?
Well... maybe.
Lin Shuang shrugged, grabbed Gepard's hand, and leaped off the King Insect that was gradually turning to ashes.
After the King Insect died, Lin Shuang waited in the same spot for a while before retrieving all the power she had released.
"I don't know what Ruan Mei did, there's no way to save her now."
Lin Shuang sighed helplessly.
Then he glanced around at the cabins, which were so badly damaged that there was almost no place to stand, and the walls that were torn to shreds.
Suddenly his expression changed:
"Holy crap, Cat Cake!!"
The containment chamber where the Cat Cake is located is not close to here.
But damn it, this huge cabin, along with the adjacent areas, was completely dismantled by myself.
Heaven knows if the aftermath of the battle has spread over there.
Lin Shuang immediately grabbed Gepard's hand and headed towards the passage.
And then she saw the metal walls in the passageway, almost melted from the heat.
My heart sank.
The aftershocks have even spread to places like this?
"Oh no-- Cat Cake--! I was planning to keep some on the Train, please hang in there!"
What is "Cat Cake"?
Attracted by Lin Shuang's screams, Gepard was very curious about what that Cat Cake was.

Chapter 368 Lin Shuang: You're even jealous of Cat Cake?
Lin Shuang pulled Gepard along as they ran through the narrow passage.
Because the passageway was adjacent to the huge cabin, it was one of the most severely damaged areas.
The walls are warped and broken, and all the automatic doors have malfunctioned due to high temperatures.
As a result, Lin Shuang had no choice but to forcefully break down the door.
We arrived at the Laboratory right next to where the Cat Cake was located.
It was discovered that most of the equipment in the Laboratory had also been damaged to varying degrees.
It seemed that power was leaking in from another Side Gate, making a mess of the entire Laboratory.
The only thing to be thankful for.
It's probably the door leading to the Cat Cake compartment that hasn't been damaged yet.
The door was opened.
The glass chambers used to house several experimental subjects were lying on the floor, tilted and broken.
The adorable test subjects were trembling and hiding in the corner of the room.
Fortunately, the hatch automatically locked due to the alarm, preventing those little creatures from escaping.
Lin Shuang walked over and picked up the gray-green Cat Cake that seemed to be shaking the most.
Meow~
After Lin Shuang picked it up, the little thing instinctively snuggled into Lin Shuang's arms and made a cute little noise.
Gepard, on the other hand, walked over carrying the white object that looked like a shumai.
"Are all these Ruan Mei's creations?"
Gepard gently patted the belly of the white creature, causing it to purr.
Lin Shuang simply sat down on the ground, scooped up the other Cat Cake, placed them on her lap, and petted each one a few times.
In reality, it's not as terrifying as I imagined.
It's just like a big cat with a strange appearance, and it has short legs, but it's more suited to hopping like a rabbit than walking.
"Yes, these are all."
"... Well, her taste is quite unique."
Gepard was at a loss for words when it came to evaluating the genius named Ruan Mei.
While it's impressive to create species at will, this kind of arbitrary adaptation of appearance, resulting in something resembling a dessert, is quite Pastries.
It truly makes one feel her love for Pastries.
"Hehe, they're all pretty cute and very smart. I'm thinking of keeping a few on the Train."
You're even cuter.
"Cough..."
Lin Shuang choked a little and couldn't help but glare at Gepard.
You're comparing me to these little guys in terms of cuteness??
Gepard smiled and ignored Lin Shuang's complaining look, blinking as she changed the subject:
Are these little guys very smart?
"You're really bad at changing the subject!"
Lin Shuang gave a harsh rebuke before explaining to Gepard:
"Of course, they were created by Ruan Mei to clone geniuses. Although they didn't meet expectations, they are still very rich in both intellect and emotion."
Lin Shuang reached out and pinched the little paws that Cat Cake always liked to tuck into his arms.
When not walking, Cat Cake seems to like lying there motionless.
Gepard's anger was soothed by the Cat Cake.
Seeing how relaxed Lin Shuang was, Gepard and sat on the ground, placing Ruan Mei's creation on her knees.
Her shoulder gently rested against Lin Shuang's.
He even tilted his head and nuzzled Lin Shuang's face.
It's like it's competing for attention with the Cat Cake...
"You wouldn't be jealous of even Cat Cake, would you?"
