Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

Chapter 172 171: Sinister Night

"Oh?" Sally didn't know about this, and laughed, "What was his reaction?"

Lena shivered, and said with a sigh, "He had a beautiful smile. He looked over my Holy War Points, said I wasn't worth the time, and then went to find other females in the squad. Your guy is really not gentle at all with females, wiping out one squad after another."

"He said he'd make me the Holy Mother, and he definitely will. Holy War is a war, without distinction of gender." Sally thought of Zi Qi, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

"Do you like him?" Lena watched her smiling face, something she never had when she was with Frans.

"Of course." Sally replied, "I like him."

Otherwise, how could she owe the Offspring System so many points, just to keep him safe?

...

After dinner, Sally felt so sleepy she wanted to go to bed.

After washing up, she changed into a white maternity dress and lay in bed touching her stomach, feeling as if it had started to protrude a bit, and laughed, "It's finally grown a bit."

"What's grown a bit?" Frans came in wearing his outdoor clothes.

Sally looked at him, and replied, "The baby's gotten a bit bigger, are you going out?"

Frans nodded, "There's something I need to deal with. Will you be able to sleep by yourself?"

Sally picked up the pillow that belonged to him, "With this, you can go. Just come back early to be with us."

"I don't even want to go out now." Frans felt like his feet had grown roots, reluctant to move.

"We're counting on you to support us." Sally sent him a flying kiss, coquettishly blinking her eyes.

Frans really didn't want to leave, but he had to go, "I'll be back before dawn."

"Alright." Sally hugged the pillow and lay down.

Frans wanted to kiss her, but he was afraid that if he did, he would never be able to leave.

He had to restrain himself, "Wait for me."

...

The silver moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds.

After Frans left, Sally's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. Standing by the window, she looked out at the gloomy sky.

[Xiaomei, did you say you felt the magnetic force emitted by the Demagnetization Stone again?]

[Yes, right above this bedroom in the Barrier.]

[Is it affecting you?]

[Not anymore, I've become immune to it.]

[Hmm, how about I pretend to be weak from tomorrow?]

[We can't keep being passive forever. Host, why not remove the person behind the scenes? You have Xiaomei's protection in terms of safety.]

[Is that feasible?]

[It is. As long as they dare to act against the host, Xiaomei can attack proactively. We even have the Death Star, so what's there to fear?]

Sally laughed, [Right, I forgot how many weapons from my memory you've created.]

Xiaomei boasted proudly, [That's also because the host had seen those weapons' manufacturing data before. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Xiaomei to replicate them.]

[Hmm. Indeed, this hidden danger must be removed. Whether it's now or in the future, I can't let my children live with unknown dangers.]

Sally transformed into a mouse and ran towards the outside of the Holy Palace, following the safe route marked on the System Map.

[Is this safe route the latest update from you?]

[Yes, host. Xiaomei evolved from the emergency navigation of the intelligent map from your memory.]

[!! Xiaomei, you are indeed the epitome of strength!]

[Xiaomei is truly worthy.]

[Hahahaha...]

The little white mouse ran out of the Holy Palace, then Teleported and disappeared.

...

Above Holy Island, a vast volcano.

Thick smoke billowed from its crater, and the ground started to shake. This was an awakening volcano that could erupt at any moment and spew out lava.

Frans stood in front of the volcano.

"Frans brother has arrived." Zephis Herman I, dressed in the Pope's robe, teleported over with a few people.

Upon seeing Frans, he immediately rushed over like a little fanboy worshiping his big brother.

Frans cast a glance at those behind him, one of whom was Wu Liye.

When Wu Liye caught Frans's gaze, he quickly lowered his head.

Frans's expression turned somewhat unpleasant in an instant.

He said to Zephis Herman I, "This volcano is connected to the Abyssal Prison; if it erupts, the Evil Beasts inside will certainly come out."

Zephis Herman I replied, "There are still some people on the island that need to be evacuated, which will take at least two hours."

"We must seal the volcano before dawn. Let's start."

"Yes, Brother Frans." Zephis Herman I turned to the people behind him with an indifferent face as if looking at trash, "Move out immediately."

Everyone left.

Seeing that Zephis Herman I hadn't departed, Frans asked, "Don't you need to reinforce the Barrier? And investigate who triggered the volcano's eruption."

Zephis Herman I responded, "Wu Liye."

Frans frowned, "Why haven't you dealt with him?"

"To draw out the person behind him."

"Who?"

"It seems Wu Liye doesn't know either; this person has always been very good at hiding."

"It's started." Frans looked towards the volcano crater as a fire dragon-like stream of magma shot into the sky.

A scepter immediately appeared in his hand.

Colorful gems on the scepter radiated dazzling light, and a dome-shaped Time Barrier appeared around the volcano.

Finally, the scepter released a beam of white light adorned with mysterious patterns into the dome Barrier.

A flash of golden light passed through Frans's eyes as he commanded, "Stop!"

The entire volcano came to a standstill.

Zephis Herman I watched Frans, "Brother, you are so powerful."

Frans, focusing solely on controlling the Arcane Arts, said, "Your Holiness, one hour."

...

Sally stood on the edge of the continent, looking towards the column of fire rising to the sky from Holy Island, which suddenly froze in place.

"Xiaomei, what's happening over there?"

"Time has been paused. Frans is a practitioner of the Time Law; it must be him there."

"Well, he's pretty impressive, being able to pause even that. I thought he could only rewind the flow of time."

"It is very impressive. It's just that his talent is limited, affecting his Secret Technique spells. If he can see the past, he should also be able to see the future. Once he reaches the pinnacle of the Saint Rank, he should be able to. Perhaps then, even traversing time and space might be possible."

"Hmm. Will my children inherit his talent?"

"They will. The primary inheritance of offspring comes from bloodline."

"I'm somewhat looking forward to seeing what talents they will all have." Sally stood up and gently touched her belly with her little paw.

Beams of teleportation light were leaving the island, most landing on the continent, with a few heading to distant lands beyond.

"Are the people from the island evacuating?"

"Yes."

"Then, should we take this opportunity to sneak in and check the Offspring System, especially about you?"

"We can."

Xiaomei pinpointed the location right next to the volcano.

Just as Sally landed, she felt the ground hot under her paws and immediately teleported to a large rock not far away.

As she settled on the rock and looked up, she saw Frans about ten meters away.

Then her eyes slowly widened in horror.

Frans had been stabbed in the back with a golden sword—piercing straight through his chest!
