The Invasion Beast genuinely accepted the na "Wang Yingying."
Lu Yibei gave the Invasion Beast the na "Wang Yingying," and it also genuinely accepted this na. Wang Yingying beca synonymous with the Invasion Beast.
Thus, when it painstakingly wrote the three characters "Wang Yingying" with its fingertips on The Moonlight Plan Contract, the contract began to take effect.
Golden flas erupted from the burnt contract and rged into the Invasion Beast's thin body.
In an instant, a series of whispers echoed in Lu Yibei's ears, describing the Invasion Beast's Power and everything about it.
"All appearances are not appearances, all dharmas are not dharmas..."
Imdiately after, a desolate, ancient voice sounded from within Lu Yibei, like a morning bell and evening drum, gradually growing stronger, gradually overshadowing the description of the Invasion Beast's Power.
"There is Zhong Mountain, there is a woman dressed in green, she is beautiful and spiritual, able to awaken the gods..."
Huh? Has the description of my Power changed? Is it because I've rged with the remaining Power of Ms. Wang ili? Lu Yibei muttered inwardly.
Before she could delve into the specific reasons for the change in her Power description, a violent tremor struck, instantly interrupting her thoughts.
The Spiritual Energy floating in the air seed to be celebrating sothing, boiling and causing a buzzing sound.
Accompanied by a low buzzing sound, countless dazzling electric arcs erged from within the Invasion Beast, rapidly moving across its surface, crackling.
Finally, all the electric arcs gathered at its forehead, stroke by stroke, gradually outlining a complex fla-shaped pattern.
Isn't that done? Seeing the subordinate mark about to form, Lu Yibei's heart filled with joy.
I must find an opportunity to ask my godmother for a few more "indentured servant contracts" later. Once I get them, I'll have Chatterbox Girl tamper with them all for self-defense! Lu Yibei thought secretly.
Just then, Chatterbox Girl's voice, unsuitably, rang in her ear.
"Hey! I didn't expect it to actually work?"
The contract was modified such that the witness was Lu Yibei, and the contract target was still the Invasion Beast. It was nested like a thousand-layer cake, and even Chatterbox Girl wasn't sure if it would take effect.
Hearing this, Lu Yibei wanted to grab the question marks that appeared in her mind and smash them fiercely onto Chatterbox Girl's face.
"Explain to , what the ♦ do you an by 'it actually worked'?"
"A slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue, don't get distracted! It's not over yet! Follow and say..."
Hearing this, Lu Yibei pondered for a mont and understood.
Successfully tampering with The Moonlight Plan Contract and tricking the Invasion Beast into signing it was just the beginning.
Using the subordinate mark left by The Moonlight Plan Contract to seize the Invasion Beast's consciousness from the control of the Eclipse Society was the real victory.
Now, this struggle has just begun.
The Eclipse Society will not easily give up on a special individual like the Invasion Beast, which has unique Power like a "universal plug."
"In the na of Calamity, I bestow upon Wang Yingying speech!"
Chatterbox Girl's voice sounded again. Lu Yibei's gaze slightly condensed as she looked at the subordinate mark about to form on the Invasion Beast's forehead, and then softly repeated, "In the na of Calamity, I bestow upon Wang Yingying speech!"
As the words fell, the golden electric arcs moving across the Invasion Beast's body swept over its lips, and the faintly glowing red line instantly dimd.
Accompanied by the red line breaking inch by inch and turning into flying ash.
A low rumble, like an angry roar, ca from a distant ti and space, exploding in Lu Yibei's ears.
In an instant, Lu Yibei felt as if her back of the head had been hit hard by a hamr, feeling dizzy and her vision going black.
"..."
Is this the backlash from destroying the Eclipse Society's Ban (seal)?
If it's only this level, I seem to be able to bear it... Lu Yibei muttered inwardly, steadying herself, and followed Chatterbox Girl in saying the second sentence.
"In the na of Calamity, I bestow upon Wang Yingying light!"
With a "crack," the crystal rings covering the Invasion Beast's eyes shattered.
As the rings shattered, black crystal fragnts flew, and the Invasion Beast slowly opened its eyes. Its pair of silver-gray eyes were as bewildered and clear as those of a newborn beast, untouched by dust.
After many years, it saw the light again.
After a brief mont of excitent, the Invasion Beast couldn't wait to look at the benefactor who helped it escape the sea of suffering.
When its gaze fell on the girl with fiery red hair, it froze for a mont, then its pupils suddenly trembled.
Not far away, Lu Yibei was spitting out large amounts of blood. The blood seed to have gone bad, turning black and splashing in the air with a sizzling sound.
Inadvertently eting the Invasion Beast's gaze and sensing the worry and anxiety in its eyes, Lu Yibei's heart ward slightly. Then she waved her hand, straightened her back, and continued to repeat the words Chatterbox Girl was muttering in her mind.
"In the na of Calamity, I bestow upon Wang Yingying..."
Mid-sentence, Lu Yibei's voice stopped abruptly.
Without warning, her head suddenly buzzed, and her thoughts slowed down. Her throat felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible pair of hands. Her lips were slightly parted, and the word "freedom," which was about to co out, could not be uttered no matter what.
Along with a strong burning sensation in her eyes, an ominous premonition quietly rose in her heart. Just then, Chatterbox Girl's exclamation ca.
"Damn it, there's a small problem. I'll deal with it first, you hold on, don't die!"
What the heck? Is a life-threatening situation considered a small problem? Lu Yibei's heart sank, half-chilled. Before she could ask Chatterbox Girl what had happened, an unexpected situation occurred.
A piercing shriek erupted, an ear-splitting sound like razor blades scraping against her eardrums, causing her body to suddenly stiffen.
In the maddening shriek, Lu Yibei vaguely heard a whisper.
"The black sun hangs high, tomorrow falls..."
The whisper seed to co from a distant ti and space, and also seed to rise from the depths of her soul.
It was like a low, deep old man chanting an ancient ballad, and also like a child's half-awake mumble.
It's the Eclipse Society's... Damn it, soone is playing dirty and attacking! Lu Yibei had just this thought when her vision suddenly darkened.
It was as if the sun had suddenly plunged below the horizon, and light was swallowed by darkness.
Everything within her sight was coated with a deep shadow.
Under the shroud of shadow, everything in the dilapidated small park showed signs of decay, as if the end was approaching.

"Hmph!"
A low, cold snort ca from across countless voids, as if announcing the arrival of a long Rin winter and eternal deathly silence.
The next mont, as if hallucinating, a black, shattered "sun" appeared before her eyes, as if it were about to die...
----
anwhile, at the bottom of the Great Furnace.
Berses stared at the Invasion Beast below, his chest rising and falling violently, his eyes filled with bloodshot, revealing fierce light as he looked around.
His upper body clothes were completely torn, his skin was covered with large patches of burn marks as if it had been scorched by high temperatures, and his limbs had atrophied to so extent, as if his vitality had been taken away.
Following his gaze, through the glass window of the control room, one could see corpses everywhere in the laboratory. In the pervasive toxic smoke, figures hurried to extinguish flas, dismantle damaged Alchemy equipnt, clear circuits, and repair leaks, so that they could resu operation in the shortest possible ti.
Surrounded by nearly a hundred Alchemy devices, the Invasion Beast's huge body was almost reduced to a pile of mud. From head to toe, there was not an inch of skin covering it, not a piece of intact flesh.
All flesh, bones, and internal organs were exposed to view, covered in blood.
It was as if sothing had fiercely peeled off its skin and dissected its body, leaving such a hideous appearance.
Strands of black flas were attached to the Invasion Beast's body, as if they would never be extinguished, constantly burning, flickering, and slowly devouring its body bit by bit.
With each flicker of the fla, its broken body twitched violently, emitting a weak and painful wail.
A few minutes ago, the Invasion Beast, which was already on the verge of losing control, suddenly went berserk, instantly shattering more than half of the steel needles used to seal it. The violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread, causing dozens of Alchemy devices to be damaged and paralyzed, and all the Eclipse Society mbers responsible for operating the Alchemy devices were killed.
As a last resort, Berses chose to use the Black Sun Fire Seed, a special substance representing the highest honor for Eclipse Society mbers, and also a highly destructive disposable weapon.
...
"Squeak—!"
The door to the control room opened.
i Hongzhuang, with an apple in her mouth, twisted her slender waist and walked in.
She looked at the miserable-looking Berses, pouted, and teased, "Little Uncle Berses, I didn't expect you to use the Black Sun Fire Seed bestowed by the Chairman on such a thing?"
"It's just an experintal subject, is it worth such a huge investnt?"
Berses glanced at i Hongzhuang out of the corner of his eye and said fiercely, "What the ♦ do you know!"
That is the Invasion Beast, the only special individual captured so far, and its significance is extraordinary.
When the accident happened just now, Spiritual Energy fluctuations suspected to be from the Calamity-level Psychic of the Night Watch with the code na 3 were detected, indicating that soone from the Night Watch was interfering.
For a special urban legend individual like the Invasion Beast, no matter the cost, it cannot be allowed to escape control and fall into the hands of the Night Watch.
"Even if... I have to destroy it!" Berses said fiercely.
i Hongzhuang secretly observed Berses's expression for a while, and muttered thoughtfully, "If you can't get it, you have to destroy it? Interesting."
----
As the black sun appeared before her eyes, Lu Yibei felt the weak connection she had just established with the Invasion Beast was brutally severed in an instant.
Imdiately after, an unknown ntal shock brutally invaded her consciousness, suppressing all her actions.
Then... it was like a cold steel rod was forcibly inserted into her skull through her temple.
With a violent stir.
Her thoughts uncontrollably fell into chaos. All kinds of abnormal thoughts flashed through her mind, and nightmarish illusions appeared before her eyes.
In a trance, she looked up at the Invasion Beast.
Under the shroud of deep shadow, its small body was only a blurred outline, with only its silver-gray eyes faintly visible.
At this mont, those eyes, which were originally like a child's, no longer had their previous clarity. The silver-gray pupils were unfocused, and all the negative emotions hidden deep in its heart burst forth: impatience, worry, confusion, fear... Finally, all emotions turned into deep despair.
Seeing the Invasion Beast's eyes dim, Lu Yibei's heart tightened, and a feeling of sourness spread through her chest.
In her daze, she rembered a sentence she had seen in a book - "I could have endured the darkness, if I had not seen the light."
She had promised the Invasion Beast to save it, and had given it hope, but at the last mont, an accident occurred. It was likely to fall into the abyss again, and one could imagine how desperate it was.
Thinking of this, perhaps Chatterbox Girl had finished dealing with the troubleso Eclipse Society mbers, or perhaps her potential had exploded in extre anger, Lu Yibei gritted her silver teeth and simultaneously used Wang Quan (Royal Authority) and Charm ability, targeting herself, and launched a ntal shock.
Although, using her innate skills to launch a ntal shock at herself to achieve the effect of resisting external ntal shock was just a guess of Lu Yibei's and had never been tested.
According to her temperant, before doing such a thing, she should have conducted more than a hundred experints under controlled variables before daring to use it in practice.
However, in the current situation, she had no opportunity to test it beforehand.
When the ntal shock carrying the special effects of Wang Quan (Royal Authority) and Charm ability simultaneously descended upon Lu Yibei herself, her small body suddenly convulsed violently as if electrocuted.
Her already chaotic consciousness beca even more chaotic. In an instant, it surpassed the range she could bear, causing her brain to go blank.
It was like a computer crashing after being overloaded.
She captured the less than 0.1 second of clarity before her consciousness went blank and said the last words.
"In the na of Calamity, I bestow upon Wang Yingying freedom!"
As the words fell, the sound of tal shattering suddenly appeared.
With a "ding," the chains wrapped around the Invasion Beast's body broke and shattered.
Imdiately following, golden flas rose from the Invasion Beast's body, instantly lting the chains into dazzling pools of molten iron, which were swept away by the sudden burst of air currents and splashed in all directions.
And Lu Yibei, carried by the surging air currents, flew towards the distant ntal turbulence like a lump of mud.
Under the shroud of brilliant golden light, the small figure, like a fetus being born, slowly unfolded its long-restrained limbs.
Then...
It reached out and grabbed Lu Yibei, who was about to fly away, pulled her back with all its might, and embraced her tightly.
It saved her, just as she had saved it.
The next mont, black flas descended from the sky, instantly engulfing both Lu Yibei and the Invasion Beast, spreading like evil spirits, drilling into their lungs, /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ attaching to their bones, and burning fiercely.
