Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian didnʼt rush to look through Lu Yongʼanʼs Moments. He casually said, ”Have you found Zedus?”

Zedus was supposedly the true name of the Abscessed Hand, and the remnant consciousness in Omebellaʼs remains had once shouted this name at Lumian.

Lumian was trying to probe whether the children of the Great Mother had heard of Zedus.

”Not yet.” Lu Yongʼan lowered her head, ”Mother is very disappointed.”

Zedus really is closely related to the Great Mother… Lumian stopped there, not asking further.

Seeing this, Grimm respectfully asked, ”Child of God, starting tomorrow youʼre on the night shift rotation. If you donʼt want to work it, I can find an excuse to switch you to the morning shift.”

”Night shift is fine,” Lumian chose not to switch.

This way, he could effectively increase his activity time during the day and evening.

Then, he glanced at the bright moon high in the sky and said to Grimm and Lu Yongʼan, ”Head back.”

”Yes, Child of God!” Lu Yongʼan and Grimm responded in unison.

Lumian didnʼt see them off, but teleported away first.

About a quarter of an hour later, his figure appeared again in this secluded corner, and Grimm and Lu Yongʼan were already gone.

Only then did Lumian take out his phone and start looking through Lu Yongʼanʼs Moments.

The Moments of this obstetrics dean of Mushu Hospital mostly shared obstetrics and gynecology knowledge, instances of receiving thank-you banners, achievements of Mushu Hospital, and updates about her own children. There was nothing that particularly caught Lumianʼs eye.

Because she had set it to only show the most recent month, Lumian could only return to the top of her Moments and look at her background settings and personal signature.

The background was set to a blurry silhouette holding a baby, and her personal signature was: ”Be a guardian for women and children.”

All very fitting for her identity and nature… Lumian put away his phone and teleported to Li Kejiʼs hospital room.

Li Keji wasnʼt surprised by this beautiful womanʼs return. Looking at her, he hesitantly asked, ”Do we really have to abort it?”

As the fetus grew, his maternal radiance seemed to have intensified.

Lumian chuckled. ”You must have already felt the frenzied absorption of your flesh and spirit by the child of the evil god, right?”

”Yes.” Li Keji nodded honestly.

Lumian continued, ”And donʼt you want to see what innovative qualities might emerge from the crossbreeding of the evil godʼs offspring and the mushroom?”

He was now very adept at grasping Li Kejiʼs obsessions and weaknesses.

This was an Instigator.

Li Kejiʼs eyes immediately lit up. ”Alright, letʼs begin!”

Could you at least hesitate a bit to make me feel your maternal radiance is genuine? Lumian grumbled inwardly as he walked to Li Kejiʼs bedside, extended his right palm, and said in a moderate tone, ”It will be quite painful. Bear with it.”

”Okay.” Li Keji stretched out his arm, letting it hang in the air.

The fungal filaments hanging down from the jellyfish-like mushroom quickly floated over, wrapping around Li Kejiʼs arm, their tips piercing into it.

”It has some anesthetic ability,” Li Keji happily explained to Lumian.

Lumian didnʼt speak, letting his palm ignite with quiet and sinister black flames.

He then pressed his right palm against the surface of Li Kejiʼs belly, and the Demonessʼs black flames immediately bored into it.

Li Kejiʼs highly protruding belly suddenly began to writhe, as if something inside was struggling desperately.

Along with this struggle, Li Kejiʼs face twisted slightly. Even with the anesthesia, he was experiencing unspeakable pain.

Meanwhile, the Demonessʼs black flames gradually dimmed and thinned. Even as Lumian continued to pour them in, they couldnʼt truly burn away the vile thing in Li Kejiʼs belly.

Fortunately, Lumian had never thought from the beginning that the Demonessʼs black flames could achieve the goal, because one of his objectives was something that the Demonessʼs black flames, which only burned spirit and life, couldnʼt accomplish.

He used the Demonessʼs black flames first mainly to probe.

Suddenly, the quiet black flames in Lumianʼs palm became agitated, as if madness, violence, and destruction were being generated!

Flames of Destruction!

As the Flames of Destruction poured in, the clothes on Li Kejiʼs belly abruptly burst into flames, as did his skin and flesh.
