Chapter 260: Stir It Up, Just Stir It Up!
In the next moment, the blood-soaked Four-Bladed Mantis collapsed like a puppet whose strings had been cut, falling to the ground without warning.
At the same time, inside the life pod beside Beacon, Puppet Master opened her eyes.
Her body was drenched in cold sweat, and even after sitting up, she continued to tremble uncontrollably.
The moment the mantis fell, Beacon turned her attention to the life pod, sensing movement.
Seeing her teammate in distress, she quickly moved to support Puppet Master.
“What happened?”
“That roar just now… there was something strange about it. The soul I had taken over briefly woke up.”
“How is that possible? The will of the extraordinary beast you possessed should have dissipated immediately!”
“Exactly. So, it’s more accurate to say it was a resurrection rather than a waking…”
Puppet Master held her head, still shaken by the experience.
“It was like a container suddenly doubling its contents. The pressure was overwhelming for a moment, and it caused some damage to me.
“But it’s fine; I’ll recover with some rest. Ugh, I’ll have to write another report about this.”
Hearing her teammate’s frustration over the post-battle report, Beacon let out a relieved sigh and stood up to resume her support role in the fight.

Far off on the city wall, a massive roar echoed, causing several low-level extraordinary beasts blessed by Fulan to instinctively take a few steps forward. However, they soon realized something was amiss and retreated, their faces filled with confusion.
The two guardians and two elders, deeply ashamed of their overstep, whimpered and whined as they explained their grievances to Fulan.
The roar had momentarily disoriented Fulan, making her feel as if she were slipping back into the foggy, aimless days of her past.
But Fulan had long since resolved to leave that time behind. She had found new purpose and direction, and she felt no attachment to her former life as a mycelium wraith.
Looking at the extraordinary beasts around her, Fulan suddenly felt a deep sense of empathy.
She let out a soft meow, signaling that everything was under control, and led the guardians and elders to continue observing the battle.

Below the city wall, Ink Drench watched as waves of First and Second Level extraordinary beasts surged toward her. Far from panicking, a faint smile of excitement crossed her face.
I was just wondering where you were, and now you’ve come right to me.
What more needs to be said?
With a single roar, the alligator extraordinary beast shifted Ink Drench’s battle mode from a coordinated team fight to a solo massacre.
In the domain of decay and death, First Level extraordinary beasts barely lasted two seconds, while even the Second Level insects struggled to survive for more than five.
Ink Drench took a couple of steps forward, moving slightly away from the edge of the wall.
Within moments, the bodies of insects began raining down from above, their shells clashing and shattering as they fell. The once-resilient outer shells broke apart, revealing shriveled, lifeless forms.
In the air, gray “snowflakes” drifted down, and Ink Dreach casually plucked one, crushing the fragile remnants of the insects’ decaying wings.
The creatures that had intended to attack Ink Drench and Wang Xiao from above perished before they could even comprehend what had gone wrong with their bodies.
The insects on the ground fared no better; they perished one after another as they advanced.
The corpses piled up on the ground, with the insects trampling over the bodies of their fallen comrades. Soon, a small ring of bodies formed around Ink Drench, roughly five meters away from her.
While Ink Drench was effortlessly cutting down the insects, Wang Xiao was reveling in the thrill of unrestrained destruction.
For a fleeting moment, he understood why some people derived pleasure from destruction. He was no ordinary demolition worker; he was currently using his fists and his ability to absorb life force, wreaking havoc inside the skull of the giant alligator.
The fluids of the alligator extraordinary beast were toxic and corrosive, creating an environment that was extremely challenging for most superpowered individuals.
But Wang Xiao had long grown numb to such attacks. Whatever damage the environment inflicted on him, he would absorb tenfold, even a hundredfold, from the alligator’s body.
Wherever his fists struck, the soft tissues withered and dried up from the loss of life force, followed by heavy physical blows.
Under this dual attack of physical and mystical force, the alligator extraordinary beast felt its basic reflexes rapidly deteriorating.
“Roar!”
The alligator let out another agonizing roar, but this time, both the physical volume and the commanding presence in its biological field were significantly weaker. The surrounding extraordinary beasts, though still approaching, were no longer as eager as before.
Seeing its condition rapidly deteriorating, the giant alligator decided to make one last desperate attempt.
Despite its weakness, pain, and the various debuffs affecting it, the giant alligator forcefully struck the ground and managed to lift its massive upper body slightly!
Though the angle was small, for such an enormous extraordinary beast, it was enough to shake the earth within a small radius.
The alligator’s upper, or front, body rose to its highest point and began to descend.
Inside the skull, Wang Xiao experienced violent tremors, followed by an odd sensation of weightlessness.
Though his eyes were bloodshot from the battle, he regained his composure in an instant, only to find himself experiencing the same weightlessness he had felt with the Avian Creatures.
Could it be that this creature was taking flight?
Wang Xiao was baffled, but he could only cling to the soft tissues around him, bracing for the impending impact.
The alligator’s upper body accelerated downward, with no supportive movement from its front paws.
It intended to slam its head hard against the ground; this was the only damage it could inflict on Wang Xiao at that moment.
Ink Drench watched the massive body about to crash down on her and glanced at the mound of extraordinary beast bodies she had created from her relentless cutting. A half-curse rose in her throat.
“Boom!”
The alligator’s long-snouted head smashed into the ground, and Wang Xiao was violently jolted inside the skull, tumbling around and nearly losing consciousness.
Outside, Ink Drench managed to escape at the last moment, climbing atop the mountain of insect bodies. She avoided being crushed directly but was momentarily knocked over by the whirlwind generated by the impact.
Nearby, the extraordinary beasts that were approaching and those that had not yet died were also thrown off, with the majority already dead by the time they were sent flying.
The alligator, now with its head smashed into the ground, continued to emit low growls, its thick, powerful front paws flailing uselessly at its sides.
Inside its massive skull, there seemed to be a constant reverberation of sound.
After several reflected sound waves echoed and overlapped, it sounded like a mix of gnawing and crushing.
Moments later, drenched and covered in fluids, Wang Xiao emerged halfway from one of the alligator’s eye sockets.
