Ascending the Heavens as an Evil God
Chapter 181: Target, Research Lab

Strange energy fluctuations slowly emanated from the fruit.

Although none of the people present recognized this fruit, that dense and heavy power was enough to make them apprehensive.

Neither questions nor curses could move Gu Nan. In the next moment, eleven shadow clones stood up behind everyone and sliced away…

"Hm? There's another one who ran away?" Gu Nan sat still, looking at one side.

A young figure was rapidly running away, but a shadow doppelganger caught up to him before he could run very far and hacked him to death.

With Gu Nan's present strength, dealing with these Heroic Spirit users whose physical strength were lacking was as easy as beating up children.

Gu Nan's true body floated up again, standing in mid-air, while the fruit was left on the table.

He wasn’t worried that someone would take it away, because no one can leave this camp alive anymore.

Attracted by the fruit’s power, countless moon thralls began to sprint towards the camp, and the people who dared to block their way were torn apart.

The people in the Glory Camp could be said to have suffered an unfortunate disaster. A flood of moon thralls swarmed in crazily. A large number of humans didn't even have a chance to escape and were directly drowned in the tide of moon thralls.

As for those with the ability to resist… Most of them were bitten to death and turned into moon thralls.

Most people were helpless in the face of an absolute quantitative advantage.

"Little Wu, run quickly…" A mother struggled to shout while trying her best to throw a little boy out, but before her voice fell, the moon thralls behind her had already dragged her into the swarm.

Listening to the clear chewing sounds behind him, Little Wu, who just turned seven, ran forward desperately with tears in his eyes.

He hung his head and didn't dare to look back. His heart was full of fear and hatred. The pain of helplessly watching his mother's tragic death made him extremely miserable.

‘I also want to become a Heroic Spirit summoner. I want to fight like my father, to…’ Little Wu came to a sudden stop before he finished that thought—he had reached the middle of the camp in front of the round table.

The fruit glowed faint blue, while Gu Nan stood quietly in mid-air.

Unexpected rescue from death’s door, a reclusive expert, the start of a good-for-nothing’s counterattack… Little Wu had never heard of any of these phrases before, but that didn’t stop his brain from thinking up similar scenarios.

He hollered at the sky, "Mister, please save me, I…"

Little Wu's voice hadn't spread far yet when a moon thrall appeared behind him, tearing him in half.

Gu Nan looked down in confusion, only to see a small figure being torn apart, and said with some regret, "I didn’t even get to see if it was a loli…"

……

Inside Star & Moon Camp’s lab, Gu Zhaoyue’s figure had long since disappeared, but Tian Tian was still tied to the central pillar, unable to rest all night.

The exhaustion made her both tired and hungry. Her lips were chapped, and she didn't want to say a word.

However, at this time, a big head swayed back and forth in front of her eyes while holding up a moon thrall corpse that had its head torn open, almost hitting her face.

"Get… Get lost!" Once again, Tian Tian was so nauseated looking at the brain that she vomited stomach acid. Then she roared at Big Brother, "How many times have I said that I won't eat this!"

Big Brother looked in puzzlement at the moon thrall corpse in his hand. With his simple intelligence, he still couldn't understand the concept of "taste".

Big Brother was similarly locked inside the lab by Gu Nan. Since he had no one else to talk to, he could only run over and play with Tian Tian.

When Tian Tian revealed her hunger and thirst, Big Brother smashed a glass tube without hesitation, ripped out the moon thrall inside, then tore it up and stuffed it in her face.

Classmate Tian Tian very cooperatively fainted.

When she woke up again, she was faced with such a situation—she had to communicate with Big Brother, whose intelligence was limited, in order to hold a discussion with unknown consequences.

……

The Glory Camp quickly collapsed, and the remaining humans kept retreating to the center of the camp. Many people discovered Gu Nan's presence, as well as that fruit.

Almost without much thought, they understood the culprits behind everything.

But so what? Gu Nan just stood quietly high in the air, unresponsive to any curses or pleas.

As for those who wanted to circle around him and approach the fruit, naturally, they all died.

It didn’t matter if they were men or women; children or the elderly—life was truly equal in front of Gu Nan—only death awaited them.

About half an hour later, Gu Nan stood up in front of the second tall moon thrall king, but this time the Evil God Temple didn't give out anymore side quests.

"Then… It's time for us to visit the next place, Second Brother."

A sinister and flattering smile appeared on Second Brother’s face. Its personality was quite different from that of Big Brother’s.

……

"Will you help me untie the rope?" Tian Tian said this to Big Brother with a pair of big round eyes, telling him that she needed help.

Big Brother scratched the back of his head blankly, having no idea what she was saying.

With Big Brother’s intelligence, at best, he could understand physiological instincts like hunger. Don’t count on him for anything more.

Tian Tian suddenly became anxious. She tilted her head back at the pillar while her hands flipped and turned, trying to attract Big Brother’s attention to the rope.

Big Brother obviously misunderstood her wish. He raised a hand and straight-up slapped the pillar.

His monstrous strength made the pillar sway, and Tian Tian’s entire person shook from the vibrations. She shook her head repeatedly to stop Big Brother from doing it again.

Big Brother seemed to realize that he had done something wrong and scratched his head in a simple and honest way.

……

Lin Ke sat alone at home, looking gloomy. Lin Duo had already gone to sleep, so she finally had a chance to do her own thing.

"An obvious quake came from the central laboratory, and even some residents nearby felt it," a voice rang in her ear. It was precisely the man in black from before.

"You…" Lin Ke’s expression, however, suddenly changed, then she forced herself to whisper, “Beholder, who allowed you into my house?!”

The man known as "Beholder" had a sneer on his face. "But I did enter. What are you going to do?"

The scowl on Lin Ke’s face slowly disappeared, but her eyes became dangerous—even if she had to expose certain secrets in front of her younger sister, that was still better than being threatened by this guy.

As if seeing her thoughts, Beholder gently coughed and said, "In a quarter of an hour, Lord Ghost Tree will personally explore the lab. That’s all I want to say.”

His indifferent voice fell, and Beholder’s figure suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only Lin Ke’s eyes that looked like they were about to shoot fire.

But a moment later, her figure quickly disappeared into the night as well.

After Lin Ke disappeared, a figure slowly emerged on the second floor. It was Lin Duo, with the sun and moon spirits beside her.

"Sure enough, Big Sister… really left to investigate the lab?" Lin Duo certainly didn't forget the words Tian Tian left her before.

"So, are we going?" The moon spirit’s soft voice rang in her ear, like a whisper from an abyss demon, full of temptation.

"Of course,” Lin Duo's answer was very firm.
