Apocalypse: I'm the Landlady of the Refuge

[In the real world, you had only been unconscious for ten minutes.]

Suddenly, the voice of the System rang in her ears. Ji Wanwan’s eyes brightened, unable to hide her joy: [System!]

System: [In those ten minutes, I used all the resources in the System Space to enhance your body. Now, your spiritual power and physical strength have completely recovered. Shall we start the sacrifice?]

Ji Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat.

If the final battle was inevitably approaching, then she would sacrifice herself to bless everyone she loved.

Dad, Mom, Xingxing, Ah Li, Brother Qi Hao, senior, Brother Kai, Xiao Jing, Changsheng, Brother Wen, Xiao Lu, Brother Wu, Yinyin, Brother Zhan...

Even, Wang Youde...

Ji Wanwan concealed the sadness in her eyes and clenched her fist resolutely: [Start!]

The System began to dissolve, and Ji Wanwan’s spiritual power began to soar rapidly.

[Master the Five Elements superpower, each biological function increases by 100 points...]

[Master the Time-Space Ghost, agility increases by 200 points...]

[Master the Puppet Master, endurance increases by 200 points...]

[Master the Mind Reading Technique, spirit increases by 200 points...]

[Master the Beast Taming Technique, strength increases by 200 points...]

[Master the Hundred-Shape Man, charm increases by 200 points...]

[Master...]

Endless prompts rang in her ears as wave after wave of energy continuously surged into her body.

The energies collided and pulled at each other, making Ji Wanwan feel as if she was being torn apart, agonizingly painful.

She lifted her eyelids, staring at Baize with blood-red eyes.

The usually carefree Baize narrowed his eyes and immediately dropped his casual demeanor.

The energy overflowing from Ji Wanwan’s body became violent and tumultuous, sending all the furniture in the room flying.

[Countdown—]

"Whoosh..."

As the energy inside her calmed, the countdown chime echoed in Ji Wanwan’s mind.

Without waiting for the chime to end, she moved her fingertips slightly, teleporting herself and Baize above the ruins of a base.

[10 seconds]

As the chime ended, Ji Wanwan stood firm.

Beneath her were ruins strewn with corpses, but she had neither the mood nor the time to look.

Baize was slightly stunned, not expecting the girl before him to suddenly unleash such massive energy, even managing to control him.

He curved his lips into an intrigued smile, just about to raise his hand, when he caught the dark look in the girl’s eyes: "Time reversal!"

[Countdown 9 seconds]

All around, everything began to rapidly reverse; buildings that had collapsed one by one restored themselves, and ash-covered survivors were each revitalized.

Baize’s pupils shrank, showing a serious expression for the first time.

He stopped holding back and started to fight seriously.

[Countdown 8 seconds]

While everything around continued to restore, Ji Wanwan tipped her toes and rushed forward, launching a Fiery Flame Red Fist at Baize.

A roaring Fire Snake spewed forth, and Baize casually raised his hand to block, but was entangled layer by layer by wildly growing vines from the ground.

Countless poisonous creatures crawled along the vines onto Baize, nibbling away at his flesh bite by bite.

[Countdown 7 seconds]

"Boom!"

The flames hot enough to melt steel smashed onto the vine-wrapped sphere, instantly turning it into a giant fireball.

The immense force of the collision pushed the huge fireball backward.

But this was far from enough!

[Countdown 6 seconds]

"Mind Reading Technique!"

Baize: [Wanwan, I’m surprised you could come this far. Are you ready for my counterattack?]

"Bang!"

The mind reading ended, and the fireball exploded from the inside out, with the man standing unharmed at the original spot.

[Countdown 5 seconds]

At that moment, Ji Wanwan didn’t even have time to be astonished.

She attacked again, "Space Barrier!"

"Buzz..."

A huge metallic barrier appeared out of nowhere, enclosing Baize within it.

Ji Wanwan called out for the Space Barrier, but she used the Gold Element Superpower.

Clearly, her little trick didn’t fool Baize, and the metals couldn’t even get close to him. With a slight flick of his fingertips, all the metal vanished into thin air.

He sneered coldly, his figure flashed, and he instantly teleported in front of Ji Wanwan.

He raised his hand, fiercely grasped Ji Wanwan’s neck, lifted her high, and then slammed her down hard.

"Wanwan, it’s my turn to hunt...," he said.

[Countdown 4 seconds]

Baize’s words and the alert sounded simultaneously.

At the same time, Ji Wanwan was fiercely smashed into the ground, creating a deep crater several meters deep.

Ji Wanwan leveraged her strength to grab onto Baize’s neck.

A massive amount of soil piled up, burying them under layers and layers.

As the dirt was being piled on, Ji Wanwan froze it, turning it hard, cold, and heavy.

Not enough, still not enough.

At the same time, she also controlled various metals to pile up layer by layer on top of them both.

The immense pressure made Ji Wanwan’s throat sweet, but Baize remained unscathed.

His brow twitched slightly, and he flashed out, taking her with him away from the underground.

[Countdown 3 seconds]

Intense pain emerged from within her body, but Ji Wanwan didn’t use Equivalence Healing, instead continuing her attacks.

This time, Baize also showed no mercy, punching out with explosive power.

His punch was incredibly fast, issuing a whizzing sound as it broke through the air. Their punches collided, and Ji Wanwan’s hand bones shattered instantly, turning into dust.

[Countdown 2 seconds]

Even with one hand destroyed, Ji Wanwan did not shrink back. Baize raised his hand and threw a second punch.

Ji Wanwan stared straight at the fist, slightly shifted her body, letting the punch that was supposed to hit her shoulder land on her chest instead.

"Puff!"

Her heart burst instantly, and warm, crimson blood sprayed all over Baize’s face.

He was momentarily stunned, his gaze scattering for an instant.

Now was the time!!

[Countdown 1 second]

Ji Wanwan raised her intact hand, grabbed onto Baize. Equivalence Healing started operating at high speed to repair her battered heart. Simultaneously, the Super Soldier began rapidly draining Baize’s strength, the Puppet Master began manipulating his body, and Spiritual Control began suppressing his consciousness.

A massive wave of energy rippled out from Ji Wanwan’s body.

If this strike wasn’t fatal, she would no longer have the strength to fight.

As Baize’s consciousness began to disperse, it recovery rapidly. Realizing what Ji Wanwan was doing, his eyes filled with towering rage.

A suppressed king, Wang Youde, a mere pet he had taken up on a whim, now dared to challenge and replace him!

[Countdown over!]

Energy rapidly drained away, Ji Wanwan instantly lost the ability to fight, but Baize still remained unharmed.

The fury lurking in his eyes told her that it was all over, she... had failed...

In the end, she had let down the System, as well as all the people she loved.

But the next second, Baize’s punch didn’t land on her.

He fell to the ground with a bang, clutching his head in agony, his figure flickering in and out of visibility, continuously howling. "Impossible... impossible..."

Ji Wanwan’s pupils shook, "Wang Youde?!"

Accompanied by her shout, Baize’s screams grew even more intense.

"Ah!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, a violent wave of energy exploded from Baize as the center, destroying everything around.

Ji Wanwan was flung away, smashing hard against a building beside the street, collapsing it entirely.

The tearing pain from her limbs and body made her lose consciousness in an instant.
