Yes, You Luoming was prepared to completely eliminate Scar.
If he hadn’t transmigrated into the world of *Wuthering Waves*, he might have found Scar to be a highly charismatic character, perhaps even saving up some Astrite to pull for a C0 copy.
But now that he had transmigrated here, he could never allow such a cruel lunatic to remain alive.
Whether it was the live human experimentation to convert them into Tacet Discords, or the harm he had inflicted upon Jiyan, Jinhsi, and the people of Jinzhou, it all far exceeded You Luoming’s limit of tolerance.
Furthermore, the Fractsidus was inherently an evil organization that viewed ordinary lives as mere garbage.
Even if they claimed it was for the continuation of civilization, or if they had some unspeakable, tragic justification, You Luoming did not care.
Black was black, white was white, evil was evil, and an enemy could never become a trustworthy ally.
There was absolutely no redeeming him, even if this enemy had suffered three betrayals.
Even if killing Scar might introduce massive uncertainty into the future, so what?
The storyline had already derailed anyway.
Without finding the Rover, how was Solaris-3-3 any different from waiting to die?
“Hahaha, hahahaha!
You want to kill me?
You dare to kill me?
Where does your confidence come from?” Scar clutched his forehead and burst into mad laughter toward the sky.
He knew that if You Luoming truly wanted him dead, seriously injured and on the brink of death as he was, he had absolutely no chance of escaping.
But how could Scar ever accept such a fate?
Since things had reached this point, his only option was…
to drag his enemy down with him, no matter the cost!
A flash of madness flared in Scar’s eyes.
His left hand plunged violently into the Whispering Oculus.
Instantly, a torrent of materialized dark-purple energy poured from the Whispering Oculus, completely engulfing him.
“No one in this world can judge me, and no one can kill me!” Mid-howl, Scar’s body swelled once more, his aura skyrocketing as he transformed back into his horned demon form.
Invisible shockwaves surged outward from the horned demon, blasting in all directions like tens of thousands of unseen arrows.
You Luoming frowned, raising his hands to shield his eyes from the biting gales, peering at Scar through the gaps of his fingers.
The horned demon’s left hand gripped the half-human-tall, dark-purple eyeball.
His muscular arm bulged as he exerted sudden, immense force—shattering Jinhsi’s time-stop restriction through sheer power—and hoisted the Threnodian creation aloft.
In an instant, the Whispering Oculus unleashed a massive cloud of dark-purple gas, completely blanketing half of the Tacet Field within seconds and rapidly spreading even further.
At the same time, Jinhsi, who had been frozen like a statue, was also released from the time-stop.
Feeling a sudden release after enduring immense pressure, she let out a soft groan and collapsed into unconsciousness.
Dark, congested blood trickled from the corner of her pale lips.
Indescribable, illusory tentacles reached out from the dark-purple gas, wrapping around the floating islands one by one.
Obscure, mysterious whispers echoed through the Tacet Field in chaotic frequencies.
Shaken, You Luoming clamped his hands tightly over his ears.
Yet those unknown whispers seemed capable of penetrating any physical barrier, striking directly at his soul.
At that moment, the Cognition-Shielding Bracelet around his ankle glowed with a faint, dark-purple light, and the mysterious whispering lingering in his ears vanished instantly.
*Is this what a Threnodian creation looks like when it isn’t suppressed?* Cold sweat broke out on You Luoming’s forehead, his heart hammering in his chest.
He didn’t have time to ponder whether the lore of *Wuthering Waves* had explained Threnodian creations; he only heard Scar’s mad, raspy laughter ring out: “You despicable rat, drag yourself to the grave with me!” Scar, in his horned demon form, held up the Whispering Oculus and swallowed it whole.
Boom!
Massive sheets of flame erupted around him.
Scar wailed in agony as a dark-purple, malevolent eye slowly opened on his forehead.
The horned demon’s body swelled yet again, and terrifying spikes sprouted outward from his spine, the longest reaching a full ten meters in length.
“Holy shit!” You Luoming’s eyes widened.
Never in his wildest dreams did he expect Scar to have a phase three!
This, this, this…
he had never fought this phase before!
Countless dark-purple beams of light converged on the eyeball in the horned demon’s forehead, forming a terrifying ray of energy that shot straight toward You Luoming.
Tapping his toes lightly against the ground, You Luoming moved swiftly.
He scooped up the unconscious Jinhsi in a bridal carry and retreated to dodge the incoming ray.
The devastating beam tore through his previous position, completely blowing up a floating island behind him.
“Flee, you despicable rat!
Flee!” Laughing maniacally, the horned demon lunged toward You Luoming.
He was enveloped in a domain-like dark-purple fire that made it impossible for anyone to get close.
Their roles of predator and prey had inverted; Scar was now relentlessly hunting You Luoming down, while You Luoming could only flee passively.
“Damn it, the temperature of the flames around him is too high.
I can’t even get close, let alone attack.” Holding Jinhsi close, You Luoming leaped across another floating island, cold sweat dripping down his brow.
He looked back just in time to see the island he had just left completely pulverized, turning into a cloud of rising dust.
The horned demon tore through the dust, hurtling toward him like a blazing meteor.
Bang!
Boom!
The floating island You Luoming was about to land on was blasted to pieces by another dark-purple beam.
Left with no solid ground, he shot out his grapple hook, latching onto a different island just in time to avoid falling into the bottomless abyss below.
“No, if I keep running like this, I’ll reach the exit of the Tacet Field.
If I lead Scar outside, the people out there will be corrupted by the whispers!” You Luoming gritted his teeth, feeling the immense pressure weighing on his shoulders as he desperately racked his brain for a solution.
A faint, elegant fragrance wafted into his nose.
He looked down at Jinhsi, whose body was covered in dragon scales, whom he was holding tightly in his arms, and a sudden spark of inspiration flashed in his mind.
If he switched to the Rover, he couldn’t get close enough to fight.
If he switched to Chixia, he wouldn’t deal enough damage.
But if he switched to Jinhsi’s character, he could perfectly bypass both of these issues!
With that thought, You Luoming opened the [Convene] menu without hesitation, targeting the limited gacha banner, [Thaw of Eons].
At the top of the interface, there were 20 Radiant Tides and 1,800 Astrites.
“Xixi, oh Xixi, if you just come home early, I promise I’ll keep a close eye on Rover for you!
I will never let Rover NTR you!” You Luoming prayed frantically to himself, though his mental actions didn’t slow down for a second.
Ten-pull!
Convene!
A purple light flashed across the screen, yielding one Marcato and nine blue weapons.
A mask of pain instantly settled over You Luoming’s face.
“Why is it Marcato again?!
I need a gold pull!” He threw in another ten-pull.
This was already his fiftieth pull on the limited banner.
You Luoming began to pray once more, switching to a different set of vows: “Xixi, oh Xixi, if you just come home, I’ll make you super, super, super many soup dumplings to eat!
I can even ask Sanhua to teach me how to make her specialty dish, the Translucent Soup Dumplings!” “They’ll all be yours to eat!” As if hearing his prayer, the Jinhsi in his arms subconsciously swallowed.
In the next second, amidst the shifting interface, the tides of the Convene burst with a golden light.
The Convene animation began to play: An ethereal, pure silver-haired girl materialized, riding through the sky atop a majestic dragon.
Her expression was peaceful and sincere: “Just as the Sentinel foretold, you and I were destined to meet here.” [Successfully Convened—Jinhsi!] [When deploying the character “Jinhsi” to the active team for the first time, you will obtain her Resonance abilities and combat experience.] [You can only possess the Resonance abilities of one character at a time.
