Chapter 153

Before Angela could finish speaking...

Just then, a tremor ran through the Lobotomy Corporation!

Although the movement was very slight, both of them felt it.

"Is it a problem with the cracks?" Xiao Huasheng asked.

"... I hope not," Angela said after a moment of silence.

Buzzing.

The emergency lights in the corridor began to flash, alternating between blood red and ghastly white, cutting through the space.

A low, Distortion hum seeped from within the walls, drowning out the long-ignored alarm coming from some distant containment unit.

The light cracked open.

It was like a vertical, unhealing wound that ripped open the company's seemingly indestructible alloy walls.

The inside of the fissure is not dark, but a swirling, indescribable vortex of colors that will sting your eyes and make you dizzy if you look at it for too long.

It was "growing." A faint but teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound emanated from its edges. The solid metal seemed to be corroded by an invisible strong acid, its edges curling, turning black, and turning into fine dust that was absorbed into that Chaos color.

With each inch of encroachment, the buzzing seemed to grow louder, carrying a greedy, all-consuming hunger.

And that rift continues to slowly and steadily devour Lobotomy Corporation's solid reality, bit by bit.

"What's wrong?" Angela and Xiao Huasheng arrived at the scene.

The employees gathered around, watching this scene unfold.

The Quack Doctor began, "I was experimenting with a new medicine when this place suddenly exploded. Hmm, it's very close to my pharmacy."

Beneath the Quack Doctor's bird-beak mask lay a look of utter helplessness, clearly indicating his dissatisfaction with the situation.

He was pondering how to completely eradicate Originium Disease, believing that a single dose of the potion could cure all those with animal ears and tails, thus saving them.

This incident completely disrupted his train of thought.

The other employees were equally puzzled by what they saw.

I have absolutely no idea why this situation is happening in the company; it's something that has never happened before.

At this moment, Makuku, leaning against the wall and clutching his stomach, walked over with a lewd grin.

"If it weren't for that sound, I would have fainted. I'm so lucky to have been saved."

"What's wrong with you?" the Queen of Hatred asked Makuku, sucking on her finger.

"You can see a doctor," Ultramarines Roxy said.

The employees had no idea why Makuku was acting so nervous.

Makuku was just about to say how incredibly enjoyable it was, and now he's still feeling the afterglow.

Xiao Huasheng squinted at him, which made him immediately shut his mouth.

Amidst all the farce...

Angela reached out her hand, and the crack in the corridor narrowed slightly.

Xiao Huasheng watched as the energy bar dropped from 100% to 80%, expending so much energy, yet only reducing the crack by one inch.

The fissure itself is as large as a disc.

"Let's try to contain it for now," Angela said.

At the same time, Xiao Huasheng asked, "Angela, do you know why this crack appeared in our company? It wasn't there before."

"This thing popped up when I was doing my research, but I'm pretty sure it was already inside the company from the beginning," Angela said, frowning.

"It was there from the beginning?" Xiao Huasheng asked, puzzled, but she hadn't seen it at first.

"Do you remember that portal we used to go to Terra? The one that disappeared in this world?"

"Oh..." Xiao Huasheng remembered that the door she had fallen through to the Ark World had vanished without a trace. She asked, "Was that what happened?"

"I don't think it's a coincidence that she will definitely return to the Foundation World in three days." Angela implied that the previous Dimensional Gate might have been a decoy, designed to mark Xiao Huasheng and prevent her from leaving the Foundation World.

"Aren't you overthinking it?" Xiao Huasheng asked curiously. Maybe their habit of returning to the Foundation every three days is just a characteristic of theirs?

"After the world reset, this door should have returned, but it disappeared, and its number was replaced by a giant serpent monster," Angela said. "That's the only way to put it for now."

Now we can only look for the most suspicious places.

The disappearance of that door is indeed highly suspicious.

However, for now, the company still faces a significant additional expense.

Angela is back, and she has various research projects that require energy; it's not a situation where simply cutting back on resources will allow her to break even.

Having thought this through, Xiao Huasheng spoke again.

"Should we still help the Emperor with this? Those things are pretty good, aren't they?"

Angela remained silent in response.

At this moment, Roxy stepped forward, knelt down, and said, "For the Emperor, we should give it our all..."

Suddenly realizing that there was a local person named Xiao Huasheng in the company, she quickly changed her address.

"Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't do it, it's just that I have more important things to do."

"I see."

Roxy had essentially approved of Xiao Huasheng's idea.

Just then, another incident occurred within the company, disrupting Xiao Huasheng's resolve to even leave the computer running.

A wisp of pink mist drifted through the company premises.

"What are these things?!"

Xiao Huasheng stared wide-eyed at the things around him and exclaimed.

Soon, the owner of the mist gave her answer.

A hallucinatory sound came from behind.

[Hmm, little cutie, did you miss me? I'm coming to pick you up.]

S-Sis's voice echoed through the company.

The Lobotomy Corporation was already within Xiao Huasheng's soul, which means that S-Sis had roughly entered Xiao Huasheng's soul.

The appearance of the rift also made her soul slightly unstable, no longer as solid as before.

The company was instantly thrown into turmoil.

Angela and Xiao Huasheng looked at each other in bewilderment.

There's no other way but we have to find a solution!

On Terra's brief, realistic cosmic journey to Mars.

An unexpected guest appeared on this bustling shipping route.

Since the Emperor opened the Webway, the veil of the real universe here has become increasingly weak, giving Chaos an opportunity to exploit it.

There were no warning signs, no ripples of energy accumulation, and no gravitational wave alerts.

The universe itself has been forcibly torn open with a festering wound.

Right on Terra's busy main route to Mars, space writhed violently like the slippery walls of an organ before suddenly cracking open.

That was not an ordinary jump exit, but a massive Warp wound boiling over and flowing with iridescent pus.

A vacuum cannot transmit scents, but this intensely sweet aroma, so strong it was almost suffocating, was directly imprinted on the nerve endings of every living thing around it.

It was a mixture of decaying perfume, melted amber, scorching copper rust, and countless indescribable scents that stirred primal desires.

"What's going on?!" someone exclaimed, but it was no use.

Immediately afterwards, the fleet's main body slid out of the crevice.

They are by no means cold, metallic creations.

The ship's hull is composed of Distortion skeletons, writhing, proliferating flesh, shimmering mother-of-pearl, and living alloys of pleasure and pain.

Layer upon layer of crystallized coral grows evergreen, its branches entwined with pale bodies eternally tormented by pleasure, their sighs and screams forming a chorus as the fleet advances.

The enormous sails resembled peeled and stretched skin, branded with ever-changing, maddening patterns, drawing upon the strange energy of the Warp itself.

Their sheer number caused a massive disruption to the flight path in an instant.

Slaanesh's ships surged into the narrow canal like a swarm of thirsty deep-sea monsters, elegant, Distortion, and filled with a terrifying purpose.

A never-ending carnival ceremony was taking place on its deck, with flashes of Psychic Power illuminating the cold cosmic space like the most decadent theater.

The first to appear in the Chaos was surprisingly the most impatient Slaanesh.

Its appearance instantly caused a huge shock.

The Human Imperium's warship carrying Xiao Huasheng was completely surrounded.

"Large-scale Warp disturbance detected! It's coming from all directions!" For the first time, the Star Speaker's voice was filled with undisguised horror. It was as if they had directly entered Warp! Why was this happening?! This is the real universe!

On his screen, reality was no longer stable; instead, it was a turbulent, ever-changing vortex of iridescent colors, and the entire fleet instantly entered a giant, living kaleidoscope.

Slaanesh's fleet seemed to emerge directly from a dream in the real universe—elegant, deadly, and completely enveloping the Imperium fleet.

The Void Shield atop the ships were operating at full capacity, with no intention of allowing these suddenly appearing Slaanesh ships to approach.

The naval forces currently aboard Terra have yet to move.

Terra reacted only with extremely slow reflexes, issuing a guard's order, while a few insignificant skirmishers charged towards them.

The Human Imperium was severely weakened after the War of the Beast, and even the temporary return of the Salamanders Primarchs was of little use.

They simply couldn't muster much resistance.

Damn it!

Someone couldn't help but curse, "Chaos really picked a good time to charge in."

At that moment, Xiao Huasheng, who was on the ship, also woke up.

After glancing at the Chaos ships outside the porthole and smelling the faint fragrance in her nostrils, the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"How did you manage to track me all the way here?"

I was terrified by S-Sis's ketone levels!

At this moment, sitting atop the Slaanesh ship was another Primarchs.

However, this one had already entered the embrace of Chaos.

Fulgrim, coiled around his strange serpentine body, licked his lips as he gazed at the ships of the Human Imperium.

"Hmm, is that the Angel up there that everyone adores? I really want to taste you..."

On one side of Chaos, a struggle for destiny has already begun!

Chapter Twelve: The Great Cosmic Melee [1 Update]

"You're awake." Lord of Fire Dragons Vulkan, looked at Xiao Huasheng and spoke in as gentle a tone as possible, but his furrowed brows indicated that his mood was not as relaxed as it appeared on the surface.

Those fiery red eyes stared at the Slaanesh ship that was swaggering towards them in the distance.

Upon opening his eyes, Xiao Huasheng was startled to see such a large, black face appear before him.

But then she nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, it must be Slaanesh who's here."

Hearing Xiao Huasheng call out Slaanesh's name and nothing happen to him, the Lord of Fire Dragons was slightly surprised, but at the same time affirmed.

"Yes, the blasphemous Chaos is preparing to ambush us before we reach Mars. You can stay by my side; it's the safest place here."

As Vulkan spoke, he completely treated Xiao Huasheng as a fragile little sister, protecting her from any harm.

After all, Xiao Huasheng's appearance is quite deceptive, not to mention that she herself appears to be very kind, which means she is easy to bully.
