My Cat Has Superpower?!
Chapter 538 - 537: Calm Despair

Chapter 538: Chapter 537: Calm Despair

Moon God’s Tears could immunize against the erosion of consciousness by corruption.

And this shadowy state was somewhat like spiritual contamination but not quite.

From the talisman storage, Lin Siyin took out the Moon God’s Tears, and a calm power spread around her.

The constantly struggling Ji Ming stopped as well, staring blankly at Lu Zixun with a vacant gaze.

It felt a bit like she had raised a pet, making Lu Zixun raise an eyebrow.

This look on Ji Ming gave him a strange feeling—like a cat owning a dog?

He tentatively took a few steps forward; the previous psychic assault seemed to have vanished, or maybe Ji Ming had turned it off?

Not feeling any abnormalities in his body, Lu Zixun approached Ji Ming and dropped a drop of the Moon God’s Tears on Ji Ming’s head.

The shadowy figure’s strength dissipated rapidly, and the berserk aura gradually faded.

"Ding—Detecting Goodwill Value from Ji Ming: +100."

The appearance of the System Prompt Sound reminded Lu Zixun as he looked down at Ji Ming.

At this moment, Ji Ming’s eyes were clear, but his face was filled with agony.

Lu Zixun then remembered the existence of Gravity Suppression. He reached out to touch the Gravity Suppression, and Ji Ming collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

Without rushing to ask anything, Lu Zixun put away the Moon God’s Tears.

Indeed, this thing was useful against the shadowy figure. Did that mean...

He could check out the city area.

Curiosity killed the cat; this saying wasn’t without reason.

"You... with only J-level strength, why would you come into contact with Him?"

Ji Ming, lying on the ground, had a very weak life force.

At this rate, Ji Ming would be completely dead within twenty minutes.

Moon God’s Tears had dispelled Ji Ming’s twisted spirituality and also the strange energy on him...

Lu Zixun looked up at Ji Ming, "You don’t need to know what a Moon Watcher is."

Ji Ming, lying on the ground, laboriously turned over, looking at the pitch-black sky with struggling eyes.

Finally, he said with irony, "What Moon Watcher, claiming to be a Guardian God, but in reality, they are just pitiful creatures."

"We accepted the Spiritual Energy contaminated by the Twister, and we should have become twisted monsters. But He sheltered us, allowing us to control this power."

Ji Ming paused and obviously took a deep breath, "Using this power, we fight back against those who didn’t want His protection, to eradicate those Twisters controlled by the Heavenly God."

The amount of information contained in Ji Ming’s brief few sentences made Lu Zixun’s brain work overtime.

The situation with the altar in the photos must have been the Ancient God’s method of invading this world.

And as a World Guardian, the Moon God, aware of this situation, was already powerless to change it...

No, she should have been able to change it.

But because of the existence of the Realm Breaker, the Moon God couldn’t draw too much strength to help this world.

She could only provide some sort of spiritual shelter, turning these humans who had absorbed the Twisted Spiritual Ability into Moon Watchers.

No...

Lu Zixun furrowed his brows; he felt something wasn’t making sense.

"Moon Watchers aren’t a race but some sort of profession?"

To understand exactly what was happening, Lu Zixun continued questioning.

"Moon Watchers are both a race and a kind of profession."

He laughed at himself mockingly.

A blade had appeared in Ji Ming’s hand at some point, and with a slash across his arm, blue blood began to flow.

Struggling to lift his arm and ensuring that Lu Zixun could see it, Ji Ming then said, "When we absorb Twisted Spiritual Energy, the bloodlines within us have already been corrupted."

"And His protection has turned us into beings that extremely fear light; that’s how the Moon Watchers came to be."

"He has always been in conflict with the Heavenly God, and the war among the Divines has kept the whole world in turbulence. Ultimately, the Heavenly God changed strategy and completely corrupted this world; we’ve been abandoned by the gods..."

His arm fell limp, and Ji Ming’s face showed neither sorrow nor joy, "He has done enough, just underestimated the power of the Heavenly God to corrupt the hearts of men."

From a certain perspective, the power of the Ancient God should be weaker than that of the Moon God.

But how did the Ancient God manage to deceive the Moon God and contaminate this world...

Lu Zixun thought of the Realm Breaker.

At that moment, thinking of the note about Moon God’s Tears, a sense of bleakness arose in Lu Zixun’s heart.

Perhaps as Moon Watchers, they didn’t realize that the reason why the Moon God had abandoned this world was that there was a more powerful being waiting, watching eagerly for the Moon God to make a mistake—

"Our world is in peril, we must stand up, because it is our responsibility, because we are... Legislators."

Not calling themselves Divines but rather Legislators explained the position of humanity in the eyes of the Moon God.

"Let me tell you something."

The faintly breathing Ji Ming, tilting his head to look at Lu Zixun, smiled calmly, "Commit suicide, while your world is not yet corrupted, kill yourself."

"Without His protection, we can’t even control whether the whispers in our ears are real or not, we’ve fallen into a state of madness, when those who fight the Twisters became executioners wielding knives..."

Sadness shone in his eyes, and tears streamed down Ji Ming’s face, "It’s truly, too painful."

Raising his hand, he earnestly drew a moon on his chest and said with utmost sincerity, "Praise the Goddess."

...

"He’s dead."

Lu Zixun spoke, breaking the silence.

Lifting his hand, a Spiritual Fire ignited, burning Ji Ming’s body to ashes.

Lu Zixun inwardly sighed, the things that Ji Ming’s world had gone through were truly desperate.

Hoping for the arrival of an evil Ancient God had already left them without any hope.

After that, hope arrived with the Moon God, only to be abandoned by the Moon God...

Perhaps it wasn’t abandonment; it could also be that the Moon God had died.

"What kind of despair must one go through to calmly speak of suicide..."

Feng Yiyang’s eyes were complex as he watched the burning corpse, unsure whether it was bravery or cowardice.

After a long silence, Lin Siyin uttered, "They are true Guardians, not pitiable creatures."

"Yes."

Nodding lightly, Lu Zixun gazed toward the center of the city, contemplating for a moment before taking out the Goddess Tears.

He intended to go alone to the heart of the city, to understand what kind of existence the Ancient God truly was.

"Go on."

Before Lu Zixun could even speak, Lin Siyin placed a communication device in his hand.

With a look of surprise in Lu Zixun’s eyes, Lin Siyin smiled gently, "Do you remember when we first met? You were just a cat, but still dared to stand up and play the hero to save the beauty."

Lu Zixun, of course, remembered this and nodded.

"Even though you always talk tough, I understand your kindness."

Moving forward to straighten Lu Zixun’s disheveled collar, Lin Siyin tiptoed and lightly kissed him on the cheek, "Stay safe. Don’t make girls come looking for you, okay?"
