[Director Fu]: "("▔□▔)/, you guys say, did Sister Elysia kiss just now? @All Members."
The chat group instantly exploded.
Ryuga's livestream screen inexplicably went black.
Just a second ago, the camera could still clearly capture Elysia's slightly leaning forward figure.
Her face was extremely close to the camera.
But just when the ambiguous atmosphere reached its peak, the screen suddenly cut off, leaving only infinite imagination.
[13th Sect Master of Mount Yunjian]: "Did she kiss? Did she kiss? Online waiting, quite urgent! @Customer Service Pink Elf Miss."
[Director Fu]: "Ryuga, stop playing dead, come out and explain! @Desert Reaper"
[Jingliu]: "Should be going to settle accounts now, right?"
[Customer Service Pink Elf Miss]: "@Director Fu, as for kissing, hehe, guess? As for Ryuga, he's now rushing to Fire MOTH. Sigh, I hope he doesn't kill too many."
[Director Fu]: "∑q|OДO|p Eh—going to war with Fire MOTH?"
Waiting for Ato.
Having nothing else to do, Elysia casually talked about Mr. X's matter.
The chat group instantly exploded.
[13th Sect Master of Mount Yunjian]: "Indeed, when I saw Ryuga's flames, I was also tempted for a moment. In that Mr. X's eyes, I'm afraid there's only profit."
[Jingliu]: "I'm very curious what his 'Path' is? 'Abundance'!? Believing in Abundance requires paying a price."
"I once calmly accepted the departure of friends and family, but she... was revived by another friend. Yet the revived her was ultimately not her."
"Ryuga's flames are the same."
[Director Fu]: "Eh, that friend?"
[Jingliu]: "I personally ended her suffering."
Everyone: "..."
[Snowy Mountain Qingxin Melon]: "No matter which world, there's no shortage of those blinded by profit. They will ultimately pay the price for their foolishness."
...
Fire MOTH headquarters.
Ryuga's arrival came earlier than they expected.
Possessing the Herrscher of the Void's authority, World-Ender was extremely fast.
Arrived in less than 10 minutes.
Looking at the sky-covering dragon shadow, Fire MOTH went dead silent.
All defensive weapons went silent.
Laughable.
A dragon that could chew nuclear weapons like jellybeans—weapons were utterly useless.
"What do we do?"
"Just hide here like this?"
"It's fine, don't be afraid. With tens of thousands of lives, he wouldn't dare force entry."
"..."
Looking at the terrifying dragon shadow on the monitoring screen, Mr. X was drenched in cold sweat.
He originally wanted to flee, but unfortunately, Ryuga had already blocked his path first.
Could only pin hopes on Ryuga's compassion.
Simply shameless.
Using tens of thousands of lives as a bet.
"You're certain?"
A cold voice inexplicably rang out in the command center.
"I'm cer..."
Mr. X's words weren't finished when his throat suddenly tightened, staring at the monitoring screen, pupils suddenly constricting.
At some point, the youth on the dragon's back had vanished.
He suddenly turned around.
Upon clearly seeing the visitor, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.
Ryuga had appeared inside the command center at some unknown time, sitting on a sofa nearby with legs crossed, gaze cold as ice staring at him.
"You you you..."
CLANG!
Footsteps went weak, staggering a few steps before knees went soft, heavily sitting on the ground.
Shoulders trembling, wanted to open mouth to beg for mercy but couldn't make any sound.
The other higher-ups were also drenched in sweat all over.
"Want to become famous?"
"I'll teach you."
Ryuga's gaze was cold as a frozen pond.
Fingertip lightly flicked—a wisp of Shadow Flame soundlessly entered Mr. X's chest.
BOOM~
In an instant, flames engulfed the body.
Mr. X's pupils suddenly constricted, throat emitting inhuman shrieks: "Ahhhhh—"
His skin, muscles, visibly withered and cracked at visible speed.
The robust body rapidly aged within 10 seconds.
Black hair turned gray, gray hair turned white, then fell off.
Face collapsed, eye sockets sunken like grave pits.
A mere ten seconds, as if a hundred years.
When the last wail abruptly stopped, only a withered skeleton stood for a moment before finally toppling to the floor.
"Seems you lack the fortune to enjoy it."
"You!"
"You!"
"And you."
Moments later, several more white bones lay on the command room floor.
Only the last seven remained, terrified out of their wits.
"Elysia is my friend, understand?"
Fire MOTH higher-ups nodded like chickens pecking rice.
"I need nanomaterials, deliver them to Mobius's laboratory."
Frantically nodding.
"Lead the way."
"Yes, it's Dr. Mobius's laboratory, this way please..."
The remaining seven felt as if granted amnesty, the thousand-pound boulder on their chests finally landed.
A woman hurriedly stood up, respectfully leading the way forward.
Having already promised Elysia, Ryuga wouldn't exterminate them all.
After all, he also had to return to Amphoreus.
These people opposed him.
He also had no need to wipe them all out.
Otherwise, new higher-ups fighting for power would only make the world more chaotic, making Elysia and them more tired.
The 'Creator Demon God' Dog-head skin completely had the ability to reshape the world.
Destruction, then rebirth.
Just, he wasn't certain if Current Era's Mei and them would join the chat group?
What if after changing it, they disappeared?
Time in the chat group wasn't consistent for everyone.
Within the Star Rail universe, time between star systems was all unknown.
Couldn't rule out fifty thousand years passing in the blink of an eye, right?
(￣ˇ￣)/
Ryuga's plan was that under the condition of Elysia living, he could also give future Herrschers the possibility of retaining humanity.
From the looks of it now, his plan was feasible.
The Previous Era was a rotten mess—he prepared to poach all the high-tech talents.
MEI, Mobius, Vill-V—these three were most important.
His 'Interastral Peace Corporation' plan needed them.
When the time came, throw MEI to Herta.
Mobius to Ruan Mei.
Vill-V naturally would let Screwllum lead.
"..."
Ryuga suddenly thought of something. If MEI went to the space station, wouldn't she become station chief?
Heh, don't say.
With her absolute rationality, super strong management ability, and tough methods—truly possible.
Asta: QAQ.
