Chapter 118

It exploded instantly, turning into a cloud of blood mist that filled the air.

This wonderful scene drew applause and cheers from Xiao Huasheng, who exclaimed, "I knew you guys could do it!"

But their good fortune didn't last long; before the red-haired Angel could even rejoice for them...

Ai Er Lan's body changed; he became bloated, his clothes bursting out of shape, and his entire body turned black, with countless orange-yellow eyes looking around.

He swung the 'Eye Lamp' hammer in his hand, immediately becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

[Buhao! EGO Corrosion, supervisor, calm him down.] Angela urged Xiao Huasheng to take care of it.

Xiao Huasheng realized something was wrong and vanished instantly half a second later.

In the blink of an eye, they acquired Ku Tang and Roxy into Lobotomy Corporation.

At this moment, Ai Er Lan had gone completely mad, transforming into a humanoid monster covered in eyes.

The only remaining human characteristic is that his body still has two legs.

As soon as Xiao Huasheng appeared in front of Ai Er Lan, his bloodshot orange-yellow eyes locked onto her.

"Ai Er Lan?"

Boom!!!

Before he could finish speaking, the heavy Eye Lamp, accompanied by Distortion orange light, crashed down!

The ground exploded with spiderweb-like cracks upon contact, and the shockwave pulverized all the rubble within a ten-meter radius.

Xiao Huasheng took the hit head-on and was slapped to the ground, her red hair flying in the shockwave!

At this moment, the second hammer blow came right away.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Each hammer blow was more ferocious than the last, the orange-yellow light leaving afterimages in the air like a series of exploding flashes.

Ai Er Lan's bloated body moved at an abnormal speed, and countless eyeballs on the hammer face spun wildly, locking onto Xiao Huasheng's body lying on the ground.

Thump thump thump!

The continuous hammering sound was like the beating of war drums, and the ground collapsed into a giant crater-like hole with each impact.

Xiao Huasheng's figure was completely engulfed in the flying dust and rampaging orange light; only the muffled thud of the hammer hitting the ground proved that she was still enduring the attack.

With a final blow, the corrupted Ai Er Lan raised the 'Eye Lamp' hammer high and brought it down fiercely!

Thump!!!

The heavy hammer struck her body, and the terrifying force slammed Xiao Huasheng into the ground.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, mixing with gravel to form a gray-black vortex thirty meters in diameter.

The final blow blasted the entire cloud of smoke and dust into radial rings, and wherever the shockwave swept through, even the remaining concrete walls of the Foundation were reduced to dust.

Amidst the smoke and dust, orange-yellow light flickered like breaths.

After a final, deafening explosion, Ai Er Lan suddenly fell silent.

His deformed body convulsed violently, eventually shrinking back to its original size and covering his head.

When the smoke and dust finally cleared, Xiao Huasheng lay in the center of a giant pit with a diameter of 100 meters, looking utterly helpless.

Suddenly, she stopped caring so much about clothes; after all, no outfit could withstand wearing the same set all the time.

Xiao Huasheng, despite having suffered attacks that would normally kill physical beings, stood up as if nothing had happened.

"Phew... It seems to be over. It is indeed better than the Queen of Hatred." Having witnessed the Queen of Hatred's hysterical state before, Xiao Huasheng felt a little more understanding of Ai Er Lan's condition.

EGO was created by Angela after extracting key elements from Abnormality.

Losing control is not necessarily unacceptable.

At this moment, Xiao Huasheng noticed something unusual.

[Energy: 100%]

"Um?"

Xiao Huasheng was surprised to discover this, and her eyes widened slightly.

The previous use of gravity to suppress the lizard monster, coupled with the energy consumption of making popcorn, means that Lobotomy Corporation's current output absolutely cannot bring the energy back to 100%.

What is this unexpected energy?

Angela was also surprised.

[I haven't had employees unleash their EGO Gear, but it seems that unleashing EGO Gear or entering an EGO Corrosion state can provide the company with a considerable amount of energy.]

Xiao Huasheng thought of a possibility of using war to sustain war, or abandoning the employees and continuously freeing up EGO to create energy out of thin air.

Angela also noticed her idea.

[A clever idea, but the liberation of EGO consumes the soul power of its employees. Once their soul power is insufficient, their souls will disappear and they will die. The only way to replenish their soul energy is through quiet rest and slow recovery.]

Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Huasheng, who had hoped to exploit a bug, was greatly disappointed.

But she still asked, "About how much energy was restored?"

Angela responded with a specific number.

[7% of the energy remains, but the energy bar is still overflowing. It seems to be either liberating EGO or being EGO Corrosion. In fact, it's a process similar to extracting energy from Abnormality.]

"In this process, the employees also become temporary Abnormality..."

Xiao Huasheng understood Angela's words; it turned out that employees could also generate output, just like the Abnormality.

Sure enough, everything at Lobotomy Corporation is complementary; they don't keep idle people... except for Quack Doctor.

Thinking of that Quack Doctor who was taking Abby around the company, Xiao Huasheng's lips twitched involuntarily.

My thoughts returned to normal.

At this moment, Ai Er Lan regained his senses. He covered his hands and held the Eye Lamp, "Uh, what happened...?"

"Overusing the spirit caused it to steal your mouse cursor. You just used too many 'Gui' (a type of in-game item) in the future. Just use less 'Gui' in the future."

"?" This left Ai Er Lan completely bewildered.

Xiao Huasheng patted him on the shoulder and brought him back to Lobotomy Corporation.

Anyway, Angela will explain it to him later, and besides, Xiao Huasheng thinks he's quite right.

At this point, the Foundation's people, seeing that the situation was not good, had already retreated to a distance of 500 meters.

But looking at the facility that had been turned into a deep crater, they couldn't help but twitch their eyelids.

In terms of destructive power, employees EGO Corrosion are no less destructive than some physical entities.

Emerging from that enormous pit.

As soon as Xiao Huasheng came out, he saw the members of Pandora's Box who had rushed over.

Abel, and even Iris Iris, were present.

When the two saw the scene and glanced at the red-haired Angel standing in front of them waving, they immediately understood what was going on.

"Hello everyone," Xiao Huasheng waved playfully and greeted them, "Long time no see, have you missed me?"

Iris thought to herself, "Actually, only three days have passed."

But Abel only glanced silently at her lower body, then at her upper body, and the large expanse of white flesh made Abel unable to help but ask a question.

"So, you also feel that clothing hinders your movement? Taking it off is indeed a good choice."

Abel gazed at the naked Angel, admiring her beautiful figure, the healthy muscle lines, and her slightly muscular thighs, and began to speak.

Xiao Huasheng: "?"

She had wanted to ask Abel ever since she first met him.

Is this person mentally unstable?

Chapter 96: The First Meeting with the O5 Council [5 Updates]

When Klaus, the belated contact person, saw this scene, he immediately understood the situation.

It seems that Xiao Huasheng has already resolved the containment breach incident here.

Then the red-haired Angel glared at Abel, who was covered in tattoos and didn't look like a good person.

Its cheeks puffed up in anger, making it look like a hamster.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, blocking something that didn't even exist.

Iris sighed softly and draped her coat over Xiao Huasheng's shoulders.

"You're getting cuter and cuter, I wonder who you learned it from," she said quietly.

"Yes, is there?"

Realizing this, Xiao Huasheng immediately lowered his arm, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

It wasn't Iris's imagination; it seemed that Xiao Huasheng became increasingly confident in his actions after exploring parts of this world.

Xiao Huasheng's confidence brings goodwill to the world.

Once she knew what she could and couldn't do in this world, she naturally became adorable.

If it were Xiao Huasheng who had first arrived at the Foundation, he would have immediately fired back in the face of such an unreasonable attack.

And she will act without any regard for the consequences, even if it means suspending the circuit breaker, she will make the other party pay the price.

By then, most of the Angel will be exhausted and lying on the ground.

The fact that Xiao Huasheng is now allowing employees to gain experience and practice is clearly a sign of growth... even if it's not a lot.

It's worth mentioning.

The Ku Tang was taken back so suddenly that she still didn't get to hug the lovely Angel.

This pain can only be borne by Iris.

"Oh ho ho!"

Iris immediately hugged Xiao Huasheng; the little Angel wasn't very tall, so she could just barely hug him.

The hug made Xiao Huasheng blush with embarrassment. She couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you all acting like this? It's so weird!"

"You're so cute, I couldn't resist."

As Iris hugged Xiao Huasheng even tighter, the red-haired Angel's face was almost buried in her chest.

Xiao Huasheng stood on tiptoe, his hands hanging helplessly in mid-air, and finally could only gently place them on Iris's shoulders.

"Uh, let me go..." Her voice was muffled, tinged with embarrassment and annoyance, but lacking any real threat.

Iris gently brushed her chin against Xiao Huasheng's head, and tightened her arms around him.

Then, Iris buried her head in Xiao Huasheng's red hair and took a deep breath, experiencing an epic inhalation right there and then.

"Cough cough cough." She immediately started coughing.

"I just got into a fight, you know. I'm covered in dust," Xiao Huasheng said helplessly.

But Iris still smiled and gave her a tight hug, clearly reluctant to part with this adorable Angel.

Applying Cement Angel is a skill; if you apply too much force, it will harden. Therefore, you need to use techniques to make it a fragrant, soft, and adorable Angel.

Clearly, Iris knew what to do.

Feeling deeply humiliated after being held in her arms for a while, Xiao Huasheng finally broke free.

"Okay... stop hugging me." Clearly, the red-haired Angel was very resistant.

Iris did smile; she had had her fill.

This made Xiao Huasheng very suspicious that S-Sis had cast an 'ice' spell on his body.

Everyone who sees her can't help but bully her; everyone's behavior is like they're on drugs.

Obviously, that's not the case; she's just too cute, that's all.

After playing around for a while, Iris got down to business.

Then she took a small black cube from her pocket and placed it in Xiao Huasheng's hand.

"Here, take this."
