Chapter 755 - 111: Aftermath
Tao Yi grinned and opened her mouth wide, licking her red lips as she walked towards the pink tumor. "Looks quite tasty."
"Of course, this is your initial compensation." Su Changxing affirmed, "Try testing it first to see if you can eat it, don’t eat too much at once and ruin your stomach."
Tao Yi, in her undead status, was a semi-physical existence, theoretically able to consume this tumor.
This was the best way to dispose of the tumor.
Tao Yi lifted the tumor, opened her mouth wide and took a bite, her teeth breaking it open and purple blood splattered on the ground.
The tumor appeared disgusting to humans, difficult to accept, but for an undead like Tao Yi, it was just right; perhaps the stranger it looked, the more it triggered her desire to eat.
Tao Yi held the pink tumor, munching away heartily, seemingly without any adverse reactions.
Before long, she had devoured half of the large tumor, and the aura around her visibly enhanced, the red markings on her skin appearing more sinister and captivating.
"Do you feel anything special?" Su Changxing probed.
Tao Yi gnawed on the tumor, talking without lifting her head, "It’s pretty good, indeed tasty, delicious!"
Su Changxing chewed at his saliva, watching Tao Yi eating delightedly, feeling somewhat hungry himself.
His sense of aesthetics seemed to be gradually deviating from humanity, as these monstrous sights didn’t greatly affect him.
Kasmin appeared calm looking at Eric’s corpse on the ground; in fact, this outcome gave her some relief.
Eric’s image was towering in her mind, incapable of betraying the Empire or committing a massacre.
"Prepare to take over Maelon, with what’s happened, no one should resist." Su Changxing looked out the window at the scenery in East City, seeing the streets filled with corpses: "It seems last night, halfway through Eric’s massacre, he forcibly ceased the operation."
"He is truly a human with formidable willpower, even a divine spirit couldn’t make him fully submit."
Kasmin took a deep breath, raised her head, and walked towards the door: "I’ll go to the announcement center to comfort everyone’s emotions and explain the current situation."
Su Changxing nodded: "Then I’ll go shut down the curtain to West City and gather all the nobility. If anyone resists, just kill them."
"Yes, they can be killed; those resisting me now must have ulterior motives or be close allies with the Duke."
...
The streets were chaotic, many corpses abandoned, no one dealing with them, everyone on edge.
Maelon’s guards did not organize order; instead, they hid themselves, fearing those terrifying killing machines might restart.
Additionally, due to the plague’s spread, many fell along the streets, unmoving, looking as if awaiting death.
Su Changxing walked out from Eric’s mansion, seeing a Rune Warrior frozen mid-swing, dry blood still on the blade.
"It is far too easy to destroy a prosperous city."
He lamented the sight before him, heading towards the curtain’s energy room.
The guards originally stationed there were either lying dead or had fled, only the door remained locked.
Just then, a little girl rushed from the side, hugged Su Changxing’s leg, crying for help: "Please save my mother, she’s dying, please save her."
Her voice was filled with helplessness and despair, no one willing to help, frantically seeking to save themselves.
Su Changxing turned his head, seeing a woman in a purple dress lying by the curb, an arm missing, drenched in blood.
Due to severe blood loss, she was near death.
"Nearly dead already?" Su Changxing sighed, leading the little girl over, squatting before the woman, wielding his blood manipulation ability to stop her bleeding, applying a black night salve to her severed wound.
This ointment could restore vitality, stimulating cells to recover faster, though its unpleasant odor seemed to originate from some beast’s dung.
In the Pocket Galaxy, there were too many mysterious items related to healing, over a hundred usable methods.
Although he personally lacked healing abilities, these mysterious items essentially granted him some degree of healing power.
After treating her injuries, Su Changxing placed her in a street corner, "She should be fine now, at least she won’t die."
The little girl was incredulous: "Really fine?"
Su Changxing confirmed with a nod: "Yes, she’ll wake up shortly; you can wait here."
The little girl eagerly thanked: "Thank you, Uncle!"
Uncle, huh?
Su Changxing touched his face, realizing he appeared much older than before.
At this moment, Kasmin’s voice echoed from the street pole speakers.
"I am the Princess, Kasmin, there’s no need to worry; Eric, deceived by the Evil God, has been subdued by us, Maelon has returned to the Empire!"
"There won’t be any massacres, the plague can be cured, so please don’t panic. The guard department is organizing the restoration of city order, medical personnel please aid the city’s injured..."
"I repeat, I am Princess Kasmin, please don’t panic, there won’t be any massacres, the plague can be cured, the guard department is restoring city order, medical personnel please aid the city’s injured..."
The princess’s voice calmed many, alleviating fears of those mechanical monsters going berserk again, while city guards began reorganizing order.
Su Changxing arrived at the green-skinned house supplying energy to the curtain, shot the lock away, kicked open the door, and removed the whale oil tube.
As the energy was cut off, the electric light on the curtain gradually dimmed, flickering twice before vanishing.
Next.
Nobu and others led believers of the All Beings Sect into the city, assisting in organizing order and aiding the wounded.
Maelon was close to Wodan, naturally attracting many Imperial Family supporters, Kasmin only needed to rally, drawing numerous nobles and civilians to her.
Granted, all this was set against Eric already being dead.
The city’s order gradually returned; the corpses on the streets were cleared, put onto carriages, transported to West City for centralized handling.
The All Beings Sect also established a standalone cathedral in East City, remodeled from an art exhibition hall, with the god statue placed at its center.
Through city loudspeakers, everyone learned of the All Beings Sect’s ability to cure the plague, resulting in an unending queue of people, snaking and twisting across three to four streets.
This was merely a fraction of the city’s populace; some hadn’t had the chance to visit, others were undecided, while some outright disbelieved.
At the cathedral entrance, eight queues were organized, each with personnel responsible for registering information and distributing sect garments.
These garments were tailored in large quantities by Su Changxing in Pocket Galaxy, producing thousands, yet it still seemed insufficient now.
