Chapter 59: Chapter 58: Perfect Curtain Call

Song Chu now, should have already run out of ammunition and food!

“Want to destroy my body directly?”

Ma Ran squinted slightly, looking at the Nightmare Mother still resisting stubbornly, then waved his hand: “Looks like we can only go with the second best option and take you out directly.”

Chaotic and eerie black lines emerged out of nowhere, tightly entangling the Nightmare Mother 98725.

did not resist.

It was pondering a question…

The seemingly fine Xiao Wang was actually pinned to the ground by the feeble-looking Song Chu, unable to move at all.

It was unimaginable!

How did that guy, whose physical energy and high-density biopower were completely depleted, erupt with such power!

“…”

Ma Ran beckoned and held 98725 in his hand: “Hoo…”

“Looks like Xiao Wang is temporarily subdued.”

At that moment, a pink cluster of roses suddenly appeared before Ma Ran’s eyes.

With a thought, Ma Ran had the rose merge into his body.

The pure attributeless spiritual power refreshed Ma Ran’s spirit.

It felt like having a good sleep, restoring part of his state.

“This should be Su Qiangwei’s work…”

“Not usually reliable, but pretty dependable at crucial moments.”

was not a match for Ma Ran in the first place, and now, after getting beaten up by Ma Ran, it was covered in scars, and its spirit was weakened.

Ma Ran, on the other hand, received external support, widening the gap between them even further!

It snapped back to reality and struggled desperately, even extracting energy from the mature spores parasitized in Xiao Wang.

But…

Still couldn’t win.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With three punches, Ma Ran shattered most of 98725’s spiritual form!

The golden dust scattered in the dreamscape space emitted a sparkling radiance.

The black lines representing the Youwen Text gradually absorbed, assimilated, and continuously fed them back to Ma Ran.

“So there’s this kind of benefit…”

Ma Ran’s eyebrows perked up with joy.

This counted as an unexpected gain.

The enhancement of spiritual attributes is not only difficult but also inherently less straightforward than inner Qi cultivation, making it hard to clearly determine how much stronger one has become.

But now, he had found a way to enhance spiritual power!

This method might even be more stable and reliable than the “Suffering Tempering Method”!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

In the dreamscape space, Ma Ran fought more courageously, his punches like raging thunder, and with a thought, dark purple storms swept through.

The golden dust continued to disperse, absorbed by the black lines of Youwen Text, rapidly increasing his spiritual limit!

98725, however, gradually weakened.

Now, not only had it completely lost the possibility of defeating Ma Ran, but even…

The hope of perishing together was nonexistent.

felt very aggrieved.

It only wanted to find its own kind and return to its matriarchal civilization. What was wrong with that?

Up to this point, not a single Earthling had died at its hands!

Including those accidentally injured by stray bullets, their bleeding had stopped, and they wouldn’t die for the time being.

Instead, it’s spores were almost completely wiped out by Ma Ran!

But…

The vast cosmos is perhaps just like this.

Cold, cruel, and merciless!

If one’s skill is inferior, no matter how innocent, one cannot control one’s own destiny.

Today…

It was doomed!

98725’s spiritual form was firmly gripped by Ma Ran, unable even to escape the dreamscape.

It was filled with despair, all hope lost.

Ma Ran was able to easily defeat it because Ma Ran had companions and comrades.

While it was alone, isolated and helpless.

Thinking this way, 98725 finally admitted defeat.

Its only regret now was not being able to die beside its own kind.

It didn’t even know if its matriarchal civilization had a fixed planet as a base…

If it could die on the mother planet, return to its roots, it would be wonderful…

Just as 98725 was resolved to die, a cold voice sounded by its ear.

“Surrender, and you won’t die.”

Ma Ran expressionlessly grasped the Nightmare Mother 98725.

This was moving towards a private containment mode.

The Youwen Text Illusion, paired with dreamscape abilities, could produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

If the Nightmare Mother was willing to defect and be under his restraint and monitoring…

In the upcoming catastrophe, it could be very helpful, saving more Earth humans, even reversing the fate of Earth Civilization, rewriting the final tragedy!

The advantage, such a thing, is accumulated bit by bit!

Additionally, Ma Ran currently lacks tracking and reconnaissance abilities.

If the Nightmare Mother’s abilities can be properly utilized, they could just fill this gap.

The Little Walnut, who once thought it was doomed, suddenly became excited: “No! No…”

“I won’t refuse!”

Surviving first means there’s a chance to find its tribe!

If you die, everything is over!

Dominating Earth, evolving into an ultimate lifeform…

These are just goals from memory.

They are not what it truly desires.

What it pursues is actually just a simple three words — a sense of belonging.

It’s something that Ma Ran cannot give for now, nor does he need to.

He only needs to maintain his dominance and control over 98725, and that’s enough!

Once he’s exhausted its usefulness, whether to eliminate it directly, use it as research material, or keep it as a pet, is all possible.

“Once outside, immediately lift the signal shield in A3 District.”

“Without my permission, do not devour the brainwaves of other Earth humans at will.”

“If you disobey, I’ll kill you!”

Language barriers and cultural differences do indeed bring a bit of a hassle.

These simple three sentences cost Ma Ran quite some thought to make 98725 truly understand.

…

Just when Song Chu was about to take advantage of his victory and knock out the young soldier under him, he suddenly noticed the opponent had already given up struggling, and their breath weakened significantly.

“Playing dead?”

Song Chu, being quite suspicious by nature, didn’t dare to let go of his opponent right away, fearing it was a trick.

He hesitated for a moment and instinctively glanced in Ma Ran’s direction.

At a glance, the nerves that were about to snap from tension suddenly relaxed.

The heart that was nearly bursting also gradually returned to normal rhythm.

Song Chu was drenched in sweat from head to toe, collapsing to the ground.

As it turned out, at some unknown time, Ma Ran had already opened his eyes.

He reached out his hand and fiercely grasped the extraterrestrial lifeform that looked like a golden walnut.

In Ma Ran’s palm, Inner Qi surged.

At that moment, the air and the faint dawn light seemed to distort.

Bang!

With a loud explosion!

The extraterrestrial lifeform shattered open, breaking into the finest dust, dispersing into the air.

“Finally… it’s over…”

The tension in Song Chu’s mind finally gave way, and he felt his vision blacken, fainting on the spot.

What he saw just now was actually an illusion created by the Youwen Text.

In reality, to save its life, the Nightmare Mother 98725 had already deployed its innate stealth ability, hiding on Ma Ran’s body.

No matter whether using thermal imaging devices or other detection equipment, its presence couldn’t be discovered.

“Ma Ran! The global satellite can see the footage now!”

“The drones and medical personnel are on their way!”

“Hold on a little longer!”

Su Qiangwei’s voice suddenly sounded in Ma Ran’s mind: “Why is it all black there?”

“I can’t see anything…”

“Are you too tired?”

“I just ate two roast ducks to replenish some nutrients.”

“If needed…”

“I can send you some energy remotely!”

Ma Ran opened his eyes, his pupils faintly shimmering with a pale purple light.

He had shattered the Nightmare Mother 98725 in the dream space, reaping many benefits from it.

This phenomenon of his dual pupils shining with radiant distinctiveness is precisely a feature of a rapid increase in Spiritual Power.

“No need.”

Ma Ran immediately signed back to Su Qiangwei: “The sudden incident here has been perfectly resolved.”

Glancing at the unconscious Song Chu, he placed one hand on the latter’s back, transferring half of the remaining Inner Qi from the Acupoints over.

Without Song Chu and Su Qiangwei’s assistance, he probably wouldn’t have been able to manage to such an extent; he had to settle for the next best alternative.

If Ma Ran had given the alien invasion incident in Jinshui Town a merely [Good] evaluation before from an objective standpoint…

Then, this time, it deserves at least [Excellent]!

Even…

If the aftermath is handled properly without any accidents, Ma Ran could label it as [Perfect]!

He’s not afraid of being proud!

“Far exceeded expected results.”

“Su Qiangwei, Song Chu.”

“They are truly reliable people…”

Sitting beside Song Chu, Ma Ran extended a slightly trembling index finger, carefully writing three words on the ground.

“Thank you.”

Far away at the Henan Yingchuan Academy, deep in her studies, Su Qiangwei, upon seeing the words Ma Ran wrote, suddenly felt like perhaps some sand had flown into her eyes.
