**Chapter 560: The Mighty Nyx**
A terrifying aura that made one’s soul tremble spread across the entire battlefield.
All the “mysteries” turned their heads in unison, staring in horror at the direction from which the darkness had emerged. Under that overwhelming and mysterious pressure, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably. Even the Klein-level white bear and giant felt fear deep in their hearts.
The moment that ultimate darkness appeared, all light was devoured. Between heaven and earth, it was as if only the beautiful woman in the black dress remained.
She stepped upon starlight, calmly walking out from the pitch-black portal. On her black dress, fragments of light shimmered, echoing the twinkling stars reflected in the sky.
Every movement she made exuded elegance. Her face was cold and regal, like a noble lady strolling through the garden of her own palace. With just a faint glance at the many “mysteries,” an unprecedented pressure forced them all to the ground.
They lay prostrate, trembling in terror.
“That’s… another god?” Shen Qingzhu’s pupils contracted sharply as he sensed the terrifying divine might emanating from the woman.
“Definitely a god.” An Qingyu narrowed his eyes, staring at her illusory form. “But it seems she doesn’t have a physical body… a god in soul form?”
“How did she just walk out of Qiye’s body?”
An Qingyu stared at the gray sparrow she held in her hand. After a moment, he slowly spoke:
“Maybe we can make a bold guess.”
“How bold?”
“For example… she’s on our side?”
“!!”
Nyx’s gaze calmly swept across the battlefield, finally settling on the little gray sparrow in her hand.
A wisp of night pierced into the sparrow’s body along her palm.
The gray sparrow shrieked miserably in Nyx’s grasp, its eyes filled with terror and despair. At this moment, it was no longer a Klein-level mystery that roamed the mist, but a weak little sparrow at the mercy of others.
Nyx gazed at it quietly, her cold voice ringing out:
“So you’re the one who wanted to hurt my child?”
The moment those words were spoken, Baili Pangpang and the others froze in place.
Baili Pangpang: !!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
An Qingyu: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Shen Qingzhu: ヾ(?д?)?
Jialan: (????)
An Qingyu thought his guess had been bold enough, but upon hearing that, he realized… he had still been too conservative.
This world was insane.
In her palm, the gray sparrow’s cries grew more and more miserable, as if its very soul was being crushed inch by inch by Nyx. An unprecedented pain enveloped its heart.
Its aura grew weaker and weaker.
Nyx didn’t kill it outright. Instead, she gripped its throat, turned around, and walked up to Lin Qiye…
“Child, raise your blade.” A gentle smile appeared on her face.
Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment, then raised White Slash across his chest.
With a flick of her finger, Nyx sent the gray sparrow’s neck straight onto the blade of White Slash, slicing it in half. Blood splattered as it lost all signs of life.
A warm current flowed from the blade into Lin Qiye’s body. He looked up at Nyx in shock, unsure of what to say.
She knows the asylum can trap souls?!
But thinking about it, it wasn’t surprising. With her treatment progress at 95%, Nyx could even see the stats above her head and observe the outside world through the asylum. It was only natural she knew the secrets of its basement.
“Mother will be leaving soon… but before that, let me give you three small gifts.”
Nyx smiled as she looked into Lin Qiye’s eyes.
She turned to face the horde of beasts still lying prostrate on the ground. The darkness in her eyes surged, and a terrifying aura of night spread across heaven and earth!
Her dress extended infinitely across the ground, like an endless pool of ink being poured out. In an instant, the feet of all three hundred-plus “mysteries” were enveloped in darkness.
Extreme fear gripped their hearts!
Among them, the stronger ones sensed the threat of death. They scrambled to their feet, using every means possible to escape the darkness.
The white bear let out a low growl and vanished into the void; the black giant stomped the ground and launched himself into the sky like a cannonball; the red pangolin burrowed into the earth and fled deep underground…
What they didn’t notice was that their bodies were already stained with darkness.
Nyx watched calmly, then raised her hand. All the “mysteries” on her dark dress were lifted into the air by an invisible force!
The white bear was forcibly yanked out of the void, the black giant’s leap was halted mid-air and he was pulled back, and the red pangolin was dragged out of the earth and hung in the air like dried meat.
All three hundred “mysteries” were suspended beneath the night sky.
The rest of the team stared in stunned silence!
Baili Pangpang slapped himself hard, blinked rapidly, and gasped at the sight of over three hundred “mysteries” hanging like cured meats.
This… is just too terrifying, right?
She hung the entire terrifying beast tide in the sky like pork?
Qiye’s mom is a beast.
“Strange…” An Qingyu murmured.
“What is it?”
“She’s a god, so of course she could wipe out these ‘mysteries’ in an instant… but why hang them in the sky?”
Baili Pangpang pondered for a moment. “For the aesthetic?”
Honestly, the scene was ridiculously cool to him.
An Qingyu shook his head. “She has no physical body right now—she’s in pure soul form. That means every use of power consumes her soul…
Soul consumption isn’t easy to recover from, especially for a god. Once her soul is damaged, it’ll take a long time to heal.
Instantly killing these ‘mysteries’ would cost her almost nothing, but creating such a spectacle would definitely damage her soul somewhat.
There’s no need for her to do this…”
At that moment, Shen Qingzhu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
“She seems to want Lin Qiye to kill these ‘mysteries’ himself.”
“Wh—”
Baili Pangpang’s “why” died in his throat.
This clearly involved Lin Qiye’s secrets. Unless he chose to share, they wouldn’t pry.
Everyone silently dropped the subject.
