As the great monster died, Luan Yu's power began to surge, and faint blue light continuously poured into her body. When it finally stopped, the energy within her was even greater than that of the monster.
Though it was slightly different from what she had envisioned, it was an unexpected joy. She summoned her restored scepter, standing in the center of a luminous circle. The circle then expanded several times, extending onto the sea. The remaining monsters were continuously sucked into it, vanishing from this world.
Her circle grew larger and larger, eventually even drawing in the circle in the sky, slowly devouring it. After all the异形 (yì xíng) and their corpses were absorbed into the circle, it began to shrink.
The circle, several hundred meters in diameter, eventually reduced to a small dot, attaching itself to the bead on the scepter, and then completely disappeared.
Despite later acquiring immense power, her body was still exhausted. She stumbled a few steps and fell to the ground, a fine sheen of sweat appearing on her forehead, her face slightly pale.
Zhu Zhu flew back, looking at the devastated sea and then at the feather in her hand. She casually tossed it not far away. A sharp cry echoed through the air, and a white figure fell from the sky.
Her body was pierced by the giant feather, and she began to bleed profusely. Her already heavily injured body, after this blow, uncontrollably began to dissipate. She glared at Zhu Zhu with extreme unwillingness, finally turning into a wisp of smoke, leaving only a bloody red feather on the ground.
Su Yanyun and the others surrounded them, looking at the two with various expressions of admiration, surprise, and disbelief.
Su Yanyun asked with a trembling voice, "Where did you send them? Will they come back?"
"No."
Luan Yu propped herself up, "They will never come back again."
After another moment of silence, countless people began to laugh or cry. Not only the people of District Nine under Su Yanyun, but also those behind Zhang Zongchen wore the same expressions.
They would never return.
Even though the Zhang family was wealthy and powerful enough to protect them all, over the years, many had still been killed by those monsters.
Even ordinary people, seeing their kind being killed off by a horde of monsters, their past glory only a memory in videos, unable to be rebuilt, filled many hearts with hatred for those creatures.
Today, they had personally witnessed the monsters being slain, and were even told that those monsters would never appear again.
This was an immense joy for them.
"They really won't come back?"
"Then the ones in other places, can those in other places also be sent back? Can all the monsters be sent away?"
Of course not.
"The part that humans turned into cannot be. You must kill them and establish new beliefs, otherwise, you will never be able to eliminate them."
Those with hatred in their hearts, filled with malice towards this world, would still turn into monsters.
The karma of the human world originated from humanity and should also be resolved by humanity.

"How is your body?"
Luan Yu shook her head, "I feel great, full of power. If you made me fight again now, I'd be fine."
Dongling Sui advised, "My dear, one should be humble. Even if you truly can, you shouldn't..."
"Then I was almost dying."
"My dear, why are you so reckless? Can such words be spoken so casually?"
Luan Yu: "..."
Zhu Zhu looked at the two and couldn't help but smile.
She touched the cold exterior of the nutrient pod in her hand, thinking that soon she would be able to open it and see Chong Yan. Her mood couldn't help but improve.
Though many things remained unclear, just as she had told Chong Yan before, other things didn't matter, as long as they were together.
"Miss Zhu Zhu."
Su Yanyun and the other man walked up to them. Su Yanyun was clearly suppressing his anger and bowed to her, saying, "Mr. Zhang would like to speak with you."
"Oh."
She could feel spiritual energy on this person, but it was weak, almost negligible.
"Is there something?"
"Miss Zhu Zhu." Zhang Zongchen extended his hand towards her, "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Zhang Zongchen."
Zhu Zhu showed no reaction.
Su Yanyun immediately felt a bit smug. Su Dan Novel Network
Zhang Zongchen didn't seem embarrassed and calmly withdrew his hand. "I am very curious about the power you displayed earlier. Could you tell me about your origins?"
Seeing Zhu Zhu's lack of interest, he added, "The Zhang family discovered A from the very beginning. If you have any questions about him, you can also ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
"I have nothing to ask."
Her hand involuntarily pressed against the nutrient pod, and the metal surface emitted an unpleasant creaking sound under the pressure.
"Miss Zhu Zhu!"
Zhu Zhu removed her hand, regaining her composure.
"I have the same power as him. Aren't you curious?"
Zhu Zhu's eyes changed, and she suddenly stood up, grabbing Zhang Zongchen by the neck, squeezing tightly, and lifting him up.
"You can tell me."
People in the distance rushed over, raising their weapons towards Zhu Zhu, extremely tense.
They had all witnessed this person's power and knew that if she truly wanted to kill, they would have no ability to resist.
Zhang Zongchen felt like an ant in her hands; if she exerted even a little more force, he would be instantly crushed.
He felt a sense of danger, yet calmly said, "Did you misunderstand something? What I meant was that we once extracted his genes to modify our own, but many failed. I was fortunate to inherit a little bit."
Hearing that it wasn't an answer that displeased her, Zhu Zhu slowly released her grip.
Zhang Zongchen slumped back into his chair, coughing softly. A distinct red mark circled his neck, and his collar was creased.
"Apologies."
"You deserve to die."
Zhang Zongchen lowered his head slightly, remaining silent.
"How much longer until we arrive?"
"Two hours. Miss Zhu Zhu, you just went through a great battle. You can rest now. It's safe here, and no one can take A away."
Zhu Zhu showed no reaction.
Su Yanyun didn't say much and went to arrange for the landing.
Thanks to Zhang Zongchen, with the Zhang family's starship escorting them, their journey was very smooth. Two hours later, the starship landed in front of the Temporal Administration Bureau on the Imperial Star.
The nutrient pod was taken off the starship, and the Main Network also emerged. He wanted to exchange pleasantries with Zhu Zhu, but Zhu Zhu insisted on opening the nutrient pod immediately.
Reluctantly, the Main Network proceeded to decrypt it.
As the passwords were unlocked one by one, the opaque glass on the surface of the nutrient pod turned transparent. Although Zhu Zhu was eager to see him, she forced herself to wait until the Main Network had completely opened the nutrient pod.
However, to everyone's astonishment, the moment the nutrient pod opened, the body lying inside began to decay. Right before Zhu Zhu's eyes, it weathered away like erosion, disappearing in just a few seconds!
She reached out in disbelief, "No!"
