Chapter 249 Chapter 249: Beta
And only the figure of a little girl in the distance was seen to distort, as a scarlet miasma whirlwind began to rage in the area, howling in everyone's ears. Intense contamination erupted from the little girl's body, enveloping her like a blood silkworm.
In just a few blinks of eyes, a dazzling blood light burst out from within the silkworm.
The blood silkworm burst, and the little girl inside had long disappeared, replaced by a witch with a sickly smile on her face, holding a giant black scythe, and wearing a scarlet long dress.
Regarding the witch floating in the sky, Renji couldn't say she looked exactly like the yandere Dark Suthia, but it was a complete copy.
However, apart from the appearance, there were many obvious differences.
For example, Renji remembered that even when the real Suthia turned to her Miasma Form, her sea-blue hair turned red and black, but it still hung down like a waterfall, only curling upwards at the tips.
However, in Dream Zero, the witch in front of Renji had her hair completely disheveled, as if she had completely given up on her appearance, somewhat like Sadako from horror films.
Her facial expression was even more exaggerated, with the corners of her mouth pulled up in an overly wide grin, and her eyes were two hollow red dots.
In addition, as for the physique of the little nun, Renji could tell at a glance that the witch's body was also off.
It seemed due to malnutrition, so her overall figure was even more childlike than the original version.
In simple terms, flat-chested, short-legged.
Therefore, when matched with the scarlet long dress and the giant black scythe, it gave a strikingly contrasting feeling.
Someone like Renji, who was intently appreciating the witch, probably couldn't be found elsewhere on the scene.
The people from the Salvation Society, after the appearance of the witch, seemed to have their "exit dream" process forcibly interrupted. The logout devices could not be used, as if entering a battle state, unable to return to the city.
The team members immediately panicked, many with ashen faces, but the leading captain hadn't given up struggling. He yelled to prepare for battle and took out a few Kael Technology-branded stigma weapons from the vehicle.
It was not hard to see that Kael Technology must have mastered some methods to bring real objects into Dream.
But this technology was obviously not yet mature. Renji looked at the weapons of the Kael Technology team members, not even a rifle, let alone heavy weapons, mostly small handguns or grenades.
Such attacks, even if equipped with miasma brand that increased damage, were like tickling to the witch.
Other than further infuriating the witch, they had no effect.
"Human beings."
"Your existence is a mistake."
Seeing No. 86 in a distressed state, the witch did not pursue but instead made a mocking and ironic remark.
"As a human who has merged with machinery, you think you've gained power, but in reality, you're just gilding the lily, adding to the venom of the serpent."
"The pitch-black miasma will eventually envelop the earth, and the moon of justice will fill your hollow gaze. All living beings will receive salvation called 'destruction' in my hands."
"Don't struggle, don't resist, because I am the Miasma!"
As she finished speaking, the witch covered one of her eyes with her hand, and her clothes and hair fluttered in the howling Miasma wind.
Watching this scene, Renji nodded.
"I think I understand now why your hair is so messy."
'86, remember to record all of this. We'll need to send it to Suthia later'
[Command received. Video recording device is active throughout, and the footage is set to the highest encryption level , *86 replied to master quickly and secretly backed up a copy into the 'Top Secret' folder, intending to use it as a weapon against Lady Suthia in the future*]
"Wait a minute, what's this folder of yours?"
[Oh, it's nothing, * No. 86 tried to play dumb with a cute response*]
Having No. 86, Renji didn't need to use a 'logout device' like those from Kael Technology to exit the dream. He could leave it anytime and anywhere, even in the middle of a battle, so Renji wasn't worried at all.
Or rather, in his plan, his original purpose was to gather information. The real battle part would be to figure out how to accomplish the 'grand landing,' which meant allowing the Suthia and Nova to enter Zero's Dream as well.
If he could rely on his wife's support, Renji would never try to do it all by himself. Why not save some of that effort to reward his wife's support?
Perhaps it was Renji and 86's attitude that angered the witch, or maybe the witch read Renji's dirty thoughts.
"You stubborn ants!"
"Ridiculous, ignorant, foolish..."
The witch roared angrily at Renji, and before she could finish saying her words, something unexpected happened.
[Disaster Canon: Heavenly Reasoning Cannon]
With even louder and more mechanized synthetic electronic sounds, devoid of any emotion, the battlefield suddenly echoed with this announcement.
Clearly, this did not come from the 86th district.
On the horizon in the distance, a row of mechanical maid figures identical to 86's appeared. These mechanical maids were arranged in a precise and accurate formation, forming a cannon matrix.
Like a dazzling crimson sun, an intense red light burst forth from the cannon formation composed of multiple mechanical maids, and for a moment, it seemed to overshadow the bloody red sky.
Then, in less than a second at zero point, it turned into a meteor, directly striking the witch in mid-air, causing the witch, who had been speaking in the sky, to crash down, creating a massive crater on the ground.
