073. Total Annihilation
Ghostly wails and divine roars, the heavens and earth trembled, and the fierce storm arrived instantly. The artificial ring was shattered in an instant, pulverized by the storm's snow and sand, sliced and flung away.
In the storm moving at tens of kilometers per second, the air violently rubbed, occasionally sparking terrifying flames that flickered and vanished in an instant.
The Cannibal's eyeballs were plastered onto the pseudo-celestial body, and before Li Aozi could confront her, they were torn into shreds by centrifugal force, scattered with the wind.
Li Aozi sat quietly in his pseudo-celestial body. Without being injured for a long time, he directly exited combat, his energy rapidly recovered, making him increasingly calm.
The storm disaster couldn't harm him. Staying here, he was very safe.
As he treated his gunshot wounds, he heard the system prompt in his ear:
[You have killed 'Cannibal', a higher-tier kill with over 60% damage contribution, based on talents and team rewards... calculating]
[You have gained 653,800 experience points.]
[Higher-tier challenge reward—template advancement]
[Your template has been promoted to: Elite Combat NPC—10% increase in all types of damage]
Advancing templates from higher-tier challenges—this was unheard of in his previous life.
But thinking it over, Li Aozi felt at ease: after all, players don't have template bonuses, NPCs only have one life, how many dare to challenge higher tiers?
The benefits of killing the Cannibal didn't end there.
He opened the task list and saw a line of task notifications.
[Side Quest 'Clear Love and Hate' completed]
[You have completed a challenge, reward issued: main attribute +1, and 600 experience points.]
[Based on specialty, you gain the following benefits: Charisma +2, 600 experience points]
Current Charisma: 41 (Equipment +3, perpetual effect actual yield is 57.2)
[Main Quest 'Unremembered'—current progress: 89%]
[You have accessed key information of this quest, hidden element triggered, 'Unremembered' is considered completed.]
[Hint: You can choose to settle this quest immediately, the Abyss Humanitarian Organization will reset your favorability, will not continue to be your enemy, but the following effects will occur:
The Abyss Humanitarian Organization will continue to grow, expand its influence and sales range. You may encounter Abyss Humanitarian physicians and sales teams in various places.
New gangs will frequently appear in the outside world, they will possess more cursed weapons, and you can also possess and use these weapons.
The probability of Frost-Plated Republic troops appearing in the outside world will increase.
Note: It is hard to guarantee they won't settle accounts with you in the future.]
[You can also choose to continue fighting, proceeding with the hidden quest. If you do so, the following effects will occur:
The Abyss Humanitarian faction will consider you an undying enemy.
Frost-Plated Republic's favorability towards you will drop by 500 points, and they will issue a warrant for your arrest.
You will no longer be able to buy and use any cursed weapons, and cursed weapons will no longer appear.]
[Settle/Continue?]
After the storm, there was a light drizzle.
Nomi drove up, slowly stopping beside the sphere. She opened the car door and filled a bucket with rainwater, washing the blood off the car.
None of the Abyss physicians were in sight, only the blood and brain matter on the wrench gradually washed away by the rain.
She glanced at the huge sphere and shouted:
"Hey, Li Aozi. You're in there, right? The storm is over, we should go."
The next moment, the pseudo-celestial body collapsed, Li Aozi's eyes turned gray again.
He gazed into the distance, his expression slightly dazed.
"Nomi." Li Aozi suddenly spoke: "Are you afraid of death?"
"I (civilized Frost-Plated), if Nomi were afraid of death, she wouldn't have joined the Rose Army."
Nomi pursed her lips:
"Those women, I've taken care of them for you—you know the atrocities committed by those Abyss Humanitarian people, right? Sigh, really, I've told you so much, and you just didn't believe Nomi—well, let's not talk about that now. So, what are you planning to do?"
"What do you think?"
Li Aozi asked.
Nomi turned her head, gazing into his gray eyes. She walked up, hands behind her back, pacing thoughtfully in front of him, and said leisurely:
"Me—I definitely want to return to the Rose Army, that's my home, my life's work—just... don't know how a certain Red Arrow man who won't reveal his nationality, claims to give me a place with sunshine and warmth, where men and women enjoy equal rights, no prostitutes or slaves, where labor is rewarded and crimes are punished, what he's thinking."
Li Aozi stood up, the chains in his hands breaking inch by inch.
"Kill."
Li Aozi said:
"The Abyss doesn't deserve to be remembered, kill them all, leave none alive."
[/////Task Updated/////]
[Current Task—'Remember Them']
[Type]: Annihilation/Slaughter/Extermination
[Deadline]: Until the end of time, undying!
[Task Difficulty]: Scary
(Note Scary: Extremely terrifying! This type of task is more difficult than ordinary S-rank tasks. It involves various grotesque, bloody, and horrifying elements, and induces severe psychological fear. For your physical and mental health, we suggest you choose carefully.)
(If you suffer from related conditions such as photosensitive epilepsy, depression, mania, PTSD, or may feel psychological discomfort due to local traditions, gender, or religious beliefs, please abandon this task in time)
[Description]:
Kill, kill, and more kill.
You realized that the professor is the soul of the Abyss Humanitarian Organization. If the professor is not completely destroyed, the evil will continue to spread.
The professor is dead, the Cannibal is dead, but this is just the shell. For a Biochemist, bodies are like nationalities, the more the better, always useful.
Even if the professor is destroyed, will the Abyss Humanitarian Organization give up research?
Even if the Abyss Humanitarian Organization is destroyed, will Frost-Plated give up?
Although you are not a good person, the Abyss Humanitarian Organization is simply not a thing.
Every Abyss physician participated in this atrocity. What they did was no longer for saving lives but for ugly political demands.
Even a lunatic like you can't tolerate such anti-human evil. It's time for a heavy blow.
Abandon all humanitarianism and slaughter them.
[Settlement Conditions]:
'Don't Let Evil Go Unpunished'—slaughter all remaining members of the Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization. The more brutal the means, the richer the rewards (0/109)
Reward: Title[Murderer/Butcher/Trampler/Catastrophe]
Title Effect: For humanoid enemies, there is a 1%/4%/8%/10% chance of a critical hit (triple damage, weak point attack, high chance of death)
Outside world reputation +500.
Note: The Frost-Plated Republic will permanently hunt you and revoke your citizenship.
'Death Sentence'—completely kill the 'Abyss Professor.'
Reward: For each destroyed biochemical clone, you get one perfect reset option for mutation (rare and above mutation items will surely refresh)
Destroy the main body, you will receive 2 million experience points and specialties [Autocracy], [Absolute Rationality], [Flesh Affinity] (choose two out of three)
'Uproot'—eliminate all sponsors and project partners of the Abyss Humanitarian Organization and expose their actions to the public.
Reward: [Biochemical Nest]/[Gene Extractor]/[White Obelisk] (choose one of three)

[Nomi likes this, favorability +88.]
[Current Favorability: 307]
"Let's go, little beauty of Red Arrow."
Nomi picked up the wrench from the rain, extended her hand to Li Aozi, a smile spreading on her lips:
"This time it's not to strike Frost-Plated, but to have a good kill!"
"Let's slaughter these anti-human beasts together!"
