Atonement!

"You might as well think about it carefully. I have never had any intention of killing you. Before, or in the God-Chosen World, do you really think I have ever harmed you, Ninth Brother?"

Li Yuan's words reached 009's ears. 009 thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense, but something still felt off.

"I've thought about it carefully. What does my want to kill you have to do with you?"

Li Yuan blinked, and 009 blinked too.

Don't go too far.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough." Li Yuan suddenly coughed, and Liu Yue quickly patted his back.

"Are you alright? What happened?"

Li Yuan: "Damn it, I'm so angry I'm coughing."

009 reached up and touched his head, and suddenly thought of Qin Leng.

I remember that when Qin Leng's head was chopped off and his chest was ripped open, there was actually another head hidden inside.

Of course, 009 certainly didn't hide a head inside his body, but he wouldn't need to go through all that trouble.

He clutched his head with both hands and pulled hard, tearing his head off. A new head then grew from his neck.

The head that was pulled off instantly transformed into a uniquely shaped technological sphere.

"Heh... Hahaha, that old thief Qin Leng wasn't lying to me!"

009 grinned. Although he was also Meme Contamination, his situation was quite different from Qin Leng's.

007's order to Qin Leng was to fulfill her wish. Since 007's wish had to be fulfilled, Qin Leng could not die.

Li Yuan merely altered his perception of himself within these sequences, which has nothing to do with whether 009 harms himself or not.

Li Yuan stroked his chin. "I forgot about that. Let's try again..."

Whoosh!

Before he finished speaking, 009 had already flashed behind him, God-Slaying Spear in his hand transformed into a huge black butcher's blade, slashing directly at Li Yuan!

Li Yuan glanced sideways; the enormous black butcher's blade was already within reach.

That's absolutely incomprehensible.

"Why not just end the game like this? Why make things difficult for yourself?"

After Li Yuan finished speaking, 009's body trembled, and the power within his body suddenly became disordered, causing his hands and feet to become uncontrollable.

Li Yuan had his back to him, and a certain power was surging in his hands.

"Did you think I only prepared one Meme Contamination?"

"Since I gave you those twelve talismans, they weren't given to you for nothing."

Boom!

009 suddenly lost control and flew backward. Li Yuan turned around and realized that he had tampered with the twelve talismans, which was to be expected.

Otherwise, why would he give the talisman to a Myriad Manifestation? It was a backup plan he had prepared, deliberately given to 009.

009 absorbed so many people's Mist Ghost, and although those people's abilities were barely stabilized by the All-Things Unifier.

However, those people's memories and selves cannot be integrated, so as long as there is a medium as a trigger, a little guidance can cause these self-awareness and abilities to run rampant.

"Ah!!!"

009 clutched his head with both hands and stared wide-eyed as human faces suddenly sprang out from his chest, his back, and his arms.

These people were screaming in pain as they rushed out like madmen.

Among those faces were many familiar ones: Arthur, Nightmare, Nairasojin, the Sword Forger, Thousandthroat, Centaurs, Lin Feng, the Queen, and Adolf.

There are even the I Ching, Insects, Insect Mother, and gamblers, but no Frost King.

These faces kept emerging from his body, and fleshy tumors were pulled out of his flesh and gushed out.

Each face represents a self and a memory; their subjective consciousness pulls at their own abilities, making the core entity that unites all things extremely unstable.

His abilities are out of control, he's close to going berserk!

All of this is because he devoured too many Mist Ghost!

009 then remembered Bai Ye's words, "You will regret this, 009." Could that be what he meant?!

"Ughhh!!"

Hearing 009's screams, Snow Woman was about to step forward when Liu Yue stopped her with one hand.

"Don't worry, my Yuanzi is kind-hearted and would never kill him. He's just letting 009 calm down."

Calm down?

Is this a chance to calm down?

Looking at Li Yuan's expression, Snow Woman realized that he was clearly planning to kill 009. He was trying to force 009 to his death. Where was his kindness?

Thump!

009 plunged headfirst into the deep sea, his pupils trembling, and mournful howls echoing in his ears!

"Boss... it hurts so much..."

"No, don't leave me..."

"I don't want to die..."

"It's so dark here... Let me out, let me out!"

"You lied to us... you lied to us, you failed to lead us to godhood..."

As consciousness begins to scatter and go mad, as souls begin to be torn apart, as power becomes chaotic, the consciousness of more people is pulled out!

Those were all beings whose souls he had devoured.

For example, there were the Dragon God's children, but the lives whose souls he devoured were far more than just these people; there were many, many more.

His body gradually swelled up, and roars of consciousness echoed incessantly!

Roar, madness!

"Atone for the crimes you have committed!"

"009!" xN

"Wei Jiu!"

The seawater gradually filled his body, but the roars of those people were a million times more suffocating than the seawater itself.

They are all demanding retribution from 009, they want blood for blood, and they are denouncing 009's various crimes.

Each and every one is vivid in my mind, and each and every one is repeated over and over again.

"Sinners must suffer; come and taste our pain too!"

"Do you know what it feels like to be pierced through by the God Slaying Spear?!"

"You should try it too!"

"So you feel pain too, huh? Hahaha!"

009 sank deeper and deeper, his body becoming heavier and heavier, until he reached the deepest part of the seabed, where his back touched the soft yet hard sand and rocks.

He reached out his right hand and pressed it against one of his faces, shoving it back into his body, while roaring angrily!

"Shut the hell up, all of you!!"

As soon as 009 shouted, all was silent; every sound fell still.

But the silence didn't last long. A cacophony of angry shouts erupted again. 009 struggled to his feet. "Atone! What crime have I committed?!"

"I killed you because you deserved to die, and you were killed by me because you were all a bunch of trash!!"

"You ask me for a reason? I kill people without needing a reason!!"

"A bunch of dead men, so damn noisy! I should have ripped your mouths apart while you were still alive!!"

"It must have hurt a lot to be pierced by the God-Slaying Spear, right? I'll stab you a couple more times when I get the chance!"

"As for you, since I said I was taking you home, then... all of you shut up and watch quietly!"

The restless forces could not be suppressed, yet 009 dragged his body out of the ocean step by step.

During this process, his body twisted and swelled even more, with human faces stretching out long necks and intertwining with his body!

And his appearance gradually transformed into a hideous abyssal monster.
