At this moment, Ye Linwan did not break down in tears or go completely mad as one might have imagined.

Instead, he was surprisingly calm, his eyes fixed on the headless corpse and the culprit, Brown.

The two Brown who were attacking assumed that Ye Linwan was stunned by the powerful stimulus, and thought to themselves, 'What a good opportunity!'

The two charged at Ye Linwan simultaneously, their spatial slashes tearing through space at two tricky angles before slashing straight down!

Snap--

Just then, the crisp sound of a glass bead shattering imperceptibly reached their ears.

Ye Linwan was holding a pink rosary, and one of the beads was crushed with two fingers.

A pink energy, existing between a gaseous and liquid state, surged forth and, upon contact with the air, transformed into a pink sharp edge upon receiving a command!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

The dense pink sharpness was like the impact of an explosion, completely obscuring the vision of both Brown, who were blasted away by the slash.

Although they reacted in time, one used a 'door' to absorb the attack, while the other flashed away.

But his body still bore incredibly severe scars.

Brown was focusing on absorbing damage through the 'door', had already sustained fatal wounds due to being at the forefront of the charge.

After all the glory subsided, he himself fell into the 'gate' and returned to his own timeline.

"Damn, how come I'm the only one left?"

Seeing his 'teammate' abandon him and run away, even knowing that it was him, Brown felt a chill run through him.

Before he could even complain, the woman, covered in ghosts and looking like a killing god, was already hurtling towards him.

Seven spider legs shot out like sharp blades, piercing straight through the air with a whooshing sound!

Unable to dodge on his own, Brown ingeniously opened a 'door' in front of himself, teleporting Ye Linwan out.

"My heart! That was terrifying!"

He pressed his pounding heart, not daring to linger for even a moment, and jumped back sharply.

Clearly, his decision was correct.

A tidal wave of undead, accompanied by howls, surged past, engulfing the spot where he had just stood.

After the undead withdrew, a jagged, terrifying trench was left in the ground.

Ye Linwan's symbiotic partner is [ Ghost Howl ], a powerful [ Variant ] that feeds on human souls.

This is also Ye Linwan's strongest of her three supernatural abilities.

Its abilities are actually quite simple, consisting of only two types.

Use undead for simple attacks, and enhance your abilities using the undead you've accumulated.

It's difficult for the average person to manage this symbiotic relationship. Even if they manage to maintain it, the maximum number of undead they can withstand is around five thousand.

Therefore, humans generally coexist with them, and their main attack method is undead attacks.

Ye Linwan, however, is completely different; she can withstand an immense amount of undead-enhanced energy.

Its limit is one million.

That is precisely the number of undead she has currently increased for herself.

In fact, she could continue to forcibly increase the number of undead on herself, but doing so would cause extremely serious and irreversible damage to her body.

But now...

Ye Linwan no longer cared.

One after another, withered, decaying, translucent arms emerged from the shadows at the foot of the mountain.

Like a zombie, it grabbed Ye Linwan's body, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Linwan was completely enveloped in the undead.

Brown, who had just dodged the attack, sensed something was wrong and immediately unleashed Space Slash.

Brown, who was carrying Ye Ciqing, also threw away the corpse in his hand and unleashed Space Slash to attack from both sides.

The two Space Slash could not sever Ye Linwan's approach to the center.

The Space Slash easily sliced the undead group in the middle into three parts, but Ye Linwan was nowhere to be seen.

Brown, who had been keeping Ye Ciqing at full strength, suddenly felt a gust of wind sweep past him.

He immediately turned his head and saw a giant black spider, about 3 meters tall and covered in undead, attacking him with its disgusting fangs and sharp forelimbs.

This is the complete Variant state of the [ Variant Human ]!

Its extremely fast speed left Brown with no chance to react.

Fortunately, a hand reached out from the void beside him and suddenly threw the hand that was grabbing him by the back of his collar aside.

Brown narrowly escaped death.

The other Brown quickly withdrew his hand from the 'door,' fearing it would be bitten off by the giant spider.

"Squeak--!!!"

Ye Linwan, her body teeming with undead energy, let out a sharp and terrifying roar.

Shadows dripped from his massive body like drops of water.

Upon touching the white and red snow, it immediately began to spread outwards, covering an area of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

A dark domain was formed.

A 'door' opened from the void, Brown from this timeline walked out unharmed.

After seeing what was happening around him, he was completely dumbfounded.

"No, I just went to the [Room] for treatment for a while, what's wrong with that?"

The shadow beneath her feet bubbled like a swamp, and with a piercing cracking sound, five jet-black spiders, slightly smaller than Ye Linwan, emerged from the shadows, trying to drag Brown in like water ghosts.

Brown screamed in terror, leaped to dodge the attack, and used Space Slash to kill it.

Ye Linwan, as if possessed, stared intently at Brown, who had killed Ye Ciqing, and launched a frenzied attack.

Mingming its unusually large size and seemingly clumsy limbs, it swung its arms with incredible speed.

Moreover, the attacks were interspersed with transparent threads from time to time, catching the attackers off guard.

Another, already badly injured Brown opened a 'door,' from which a large number of dense pink slashes, just released by Ye Linwan, poured out.

Like a tidal wave, it slashed towards Ye Linwan, who was relentlessly pursuing Brown.

Ye Linwan, who was constantly swinging her arms in attacks, saw the attack coming from behind her as many eyes turned to her. Her mouth opened slightly, and the string of pink prayer beads hung from her teeth.

Snap--

With a gentle bite between her teeth, a pink rosary bead was precisely crushed.

A massive amount of pink energy enveloped Ye Linwan's enormous, dark body, covering its surface with a sturdy pink shield.

The dense slashes struck the shield without causing any damage; instead, they propelled Ye Linwan's attack into Brown's abdomen.

"You fucking bastard...!"

Brown, his abdomen pierced, cursed angrily in frustration. With all his might, he used Space Slash to sever the spider leg that Ye Linwan had thrust into his abdomen, and then teleported himself inside.

Another Brown has left the battlefield.

In this situation, Brown in this timeline had a sudden inspiration and made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.

"I'm leaving now, you hang in there!"

After saying that, he suddenly disappeared into the [Room], propelling it away from the [Room] at high speed, creating a distorted space.

"Damn it! How could I be so pathetic! I even dug myself into this mess!!!"

Brown watched his alter ego strut away, cursed angrily, and then did everything in his power to contend with Ye Linwan.

But soon, under the fierce attack of the spider that emerged from the shadows and Ye Linwan's true form, not a single piece of her skin was torn off.

Feeling the time was right, he plunged headfirst into the 'door' and left this timeline.

"That's amazing... Seven summons to my other timeline self, and just like that, they're all gone... Not a single one left."

"I was originally planning to try my luck in this timeline..."

After thinking about it silently, Brown returned to his own timeline.

Only Ye Linwan, who looked like a monster, and a corpse remained on the spot...
