Transmigrated As A Cannon Fodder Sacrifice, I Tricked An Evil God Into Becoming My Live-In Husband - Chapter 42

The enemies had vanished.

The command to protect had been fulfilled.

Yet Zhuohuo’s fiery power showed no sign of abating.

His crimson eyes, capable of devouring all things, slowly swept across the ravaged canyon, now pockmarked and scarred as if it had been scrubbed raw.

In his vision, the contours of the mountains were grotesque, the undulations of the land chaotic, and even space itself teemed with flaws demanding correction.

The instinct to protect receded like a retreating tide.

In its place surged a pure, primal urge for destruction, akin to a creator god’s obsessive need for perfection.

This world… was imperfect.

It needed to be formatted.

Ugh… AAAAAAHHHH—!

At that moment, a suppressed, soul-wrenching roar of agony erupted from Zhuohuo’s throat.

The crimson Love Gu Chain mark on his forehead, pushed to its limit by the overpowered burst of energy, had reached the peak of its backlash.

Hideous cracks spread wildly across the mark, crimson divine light leaking from the fissures, no longer sacred but radiating an ominous aura of impending collapse.

Boom! Crack!

The uncontrolled Chaos Power sent the surrounding space into complete chaos. Pitch-black spatial rifts, like the gaping maws of monsters, tore through the earth, devouring everything in their path.

The entire Hundred Ghosts’ Cry canyon was being dragged into true annihilation by this force!

Zheng Qiuyu was protected by an invisible force at the epicenter, but the aftershocks still pierced her divine soul like a billion steel needles.

The pure, high-dimensional aura of the evil god seeped into her seven orifices, drawing vivid streaks of bl00d. Her soul felt as if it were being roasted alive on a pyre.

She knew Zhuohuo had lost control.

His protective directive had been fulfilled, but the underlying logic of this Super AI—destruction—had been activated.

He had saved her.

Now, he was about to uninstall and reinstall her, along with the entire world, right where they stood.

If she didn’t stop him, both of them would be swept into the violent spatial turbulence, torn apart into cosmic dust.

She watched her husband, who was clutching his head and screaming silently in agony. In his crimson eyes, reason was being completely devoured by a chaotic void.

What could she do?

Use a Word Spirit command? No, she could feel the contract between them nearing its breaking point under the terrifying backlash. He was now like a nuclear volcano on the verge of eruption any external command would only trigger his explosion.

Escape?

The entire space had been unconsciously sealed off by him. There was no escape.

Zheng Qiuyu’s mind raced frantically, but all her schemes and deceptions were rendered laughable in the face of such absolute power.

Despair enveloped her once more.

But this time, it was different from when she faced the Ghost Mother.

In her heart, beyond the terror, there was a flicker of… a pain and guilt she refused to acknowledge even to herself.

He had become this way to save her.

Her lies had activated him.

Her cries for help had plunged him into this agony.

She was the true culprit behind it all.

Zheng Qiuyu made a decision so reckless it defied all reason, even to herself.

A decision that violated every survival principle she had clung to since her transmigration.

She would… deliberately approach the collapsing black hole center.

She would walk toward the source of annihilation, the entity capable of obliterating her divine soul with a single thought.

She moved.

Not a walk, but a lunge!

Like a gambler who had lost everything, she overturned the table and staked her life on one final, desperate gamble!

Her divine soul was pierced and churned by billions of red-hot steel needles. With each step forward, she could clearly hear her soul wailing, shattering into fragments.

Her skin? It had long since ceased to exist! Under the Chaos Power, her physical body was being erased from the very concept of existence. Beneath the bloody, blurred surface lay the terrifying reality of her being itself being wiped away!

I’m betting! I’m betting that this broken machine of yours, which only recognizes ‘wife’ and ‘child’ commands, still recognizes me as its ‘programmer’!

Zhuohuo! You disobedient madman! Aren’t you my weapon? When a weapon goes out of control, the master must personally reformat it!

A deception… a lie… Yes, it was all fake! But now, it’s the only thing I have left!

For the first time since her transmigration, Zheng Qiuyu clearly understood that her relationship with Zhuohuo had long transcended mere exploitation.

Her lies had become his world.

And his existence had become her only path to survival.

A single step now felt like an insurmountable chasm.

Zheng Qiuyu’s consciousness began to unravel, the world dissolving into a bl00d-red mosaic. She didn’t fall with the last shred of her will, she hurled herself like a sacrificial offering into the heart of destruction!

She threw her arms around him!

——!!!

There was no warmth in the embrace, only the agonizing sensation of her divine soul being instantly fed into a meat grinder!

The raging Chaos Power wasn’t a blade, but an eraser! It surged into her body, not to cut her apart, but to completely erase her from the very fabric of existence. Cause and effect, memories, reincarnation… everything would be reduced to nothingness!

She refused to let go!

Pressing her cheek firmly against his cold, heartless chest, fragments of her divine soul burned in the chaos, coalescing into the most un-command-like yet most domineering Word Spirit of her life.

With her last shred of strength, she didn’t whisper, but poured her entire divine soul into a roar directed at the chaotic core, unleashing the greatest, most audacious lie she had ever concocted

Zhuohuo! Don’t lose your mind!

Her voice, distorted by agony, carried an undeniable command.

Just listen to me! Don’t scare our son!

The words were crude, direct, and even carried a hint of vulgar, unreasonable street brawling.

Like a bug command with supreme authority, or a virus key forged in sincerity, it bypassed all complex laws and restrictions, piercing precisely and savagely into the deepest logic of Zhuohuo’s chaotic consciousness.

Command received Protect… child…

Error! Error! Destruction protocol has highest priority!

Command override… executing… ‘Wife’s’ supreme order!

Buzz—!!!

In those crimson eyes that devoured all, the world-destroying desire extinguished instantly, like a flame drowned by a colossal wave.

The Chaotic Domain, which had been expanding infinitely outward, threatening to format the entire world, seemed to rewind at a hundred times its original speed, violently surging back into his body!

Color returned, and the scorching wind once again whipped across her cheeks.

Sound returned, and the wailing of space and the pounding of her own heart flooded her ears.

Agony!

Not the cut of a blade, not the burn of fire, but as if ten thousand invisible threads had pierced her soul, then suddenly yanked in all directions!

Zheng Qiuyu’s consciousness was brutally dragged from the chaos by this soul-rending torture.

Her senses screamed as they returned.

First, touch—in her arms, a thing so heavy it made her bones groan, burning like a piece of iron freshly torn from the sun.
