"Do you think I came unprepared?" Themander''s face twisted into a sinister expression. At the same time, a loud rumbling noise erupted in the distance, followed by a streak of ck light that sliced through the sky and rushed into the base, stopping right in front of Alex and the others. The ck light gradually faded, revealing its true form—a high-tech battle armor.
"Are the natives stunned? This is ourtest technology. Conquering your will be a piece of cake," themander boasted arrogantly.
Alex had no interest in wasting words with this invader. Since they hade to conquer, he would ensure they''d never return. "You have one day to leave this, or I''ll make sure nothing of you remains," Alex dered, then turned and left with Avril.
"I advise you not to make any moves, or I assure you, your deaths will be gruesome."
"Hmph! You foolish natives!" Watching Alex and Avril leave, themander roared in anger. But Alex didn''t bother to pay him any mind.

Meanwhile, at Keke''s location, a situation arose that nobody had anticipated. Keke seemed normal when she first awoke, but gradually became more and more irritable. Her personality grew increasingly extreme, and she started attacking everyone around her. Eventually, a catastrophe unfolded—all were killed by Keke, even Qian qian was severely injured.
"Keke, how could you turn into this?" Qian qian looked at the rampaging Keke in terror, her heart nearly sinking into despair. Keke''s eyes were blood-red, filled with hatred, as she furiously lunged at Qian qian.
"No!" Qian qian screamed, but Keke was already upon her, grasping her throat tightly.
Crack!
Qian qian''s eyes widened, reflecting the fierce expression on Keke''s face as her body slumped lifelessly to the ground.
"Ha ha ha ha, Qian qian, I''m about to avenge you!" Keke shrieked madly.
"No, don''t kill me," the young girl beside Keke pleaded in fear.
"I''m not going to kill you, I''m going to eat you!" Keke sneered, sticking out her tongue to lick her lips as if tasting something delicious. Find your next read at empire
The girl''s face filled with despair at this sight; she struggled to her feet, trying to escape. But Keke was faster, grabbing her and opening her gaping mouth to bite down. However, just at thest moment, Keke suddenly copsed to the ground, and everyone narrowly escaped disaster.
When the situation was reported to Alex, his brow was furrowed deeply. Hurrying to the scene and seeing Keke, who had changed so drastically, Alex could hardly believe it. Keke''s bodily functions had altered, and he had no idea why this had happened.
"How many casualties were there?" Alex casually inquired, not particrly concerned about how many had died. It was within reason for Keke to exhibit such behavior, and he did not intend to delve deeply into it.
Qian qian, looking exhausted, reported the number of casualties to Alex. Alex simply nodded, then turned back to Qian qian.
"You all have worked hard during this time. I''ll take personal care of Keke from now on. You go and rest well," Alex said slowly.
Hearing Alex''s words, Qian qian paused, "Ke..."
Her expression wasplex, as if she wanted to say something, but upon seeing the determination in Alex''s eyes, she ultimately nodded and turned to walk away.

Keke was a unique entity because she possessed a secret that even Alex found very intriguing. Alex''s eyes narrowed slightly. Within Keke''s bodyy an immensely powerful force. This force was vast, surpassing any power Alex had encountered before.
"Could it be..." A possibility shed through Alex''s mind. If Keke''s emergence was an ident, perhaps her abilities could purify the world of its vile entities. Alex felt a glimmer of hope; after all, this could be a good thing! And since Keke was responsible for all this, Alex couldn''t me her.
"System, scan for anomalies within Keke," Alex silentlymanded.
[System Prompt: Host and Keke share a connection, please use caution.]
Alex raised an eyebrow, understanding the system''s warning. Keke''s body harboring such potent power, he certainly couldn''t let it go unchecked. Although this power was not very useful to him, it could be highly tempting to others.
While he was contemting this, Keke suddenly opened her eyes. "You finally came to see me." When she saw Alex, she immediately embraced him. Keke''s body was hot, frighteningly so.
"What''s wrong with you?" Alex asked, puzzled. Something felt off; Keke''s behavior was unusually strange. Moreover, her appearance seemed slightly odd.
"I don''t know what''s wrong with me, I just feelpletely weak and very sensitive to blood now," Keke released Alex and stood there, looking down at her pale, small feet.
Her toenails were neatly trimmed and gleamed brightly, her delicate skin glowing with a lustrous sheen, exceptionally beautiful. Alex''s gaze fell on Keke''s pale, small feet, his eyes flickering with an indescribable expression.
"Do you want to eat me?" Alex suddenly asked. Keke looked up at him and shook her head.
"Why won''t you eat me? My body should be very nutritious for you," Alex said with a light smile ying at the corners of his mouth. Keke was a mutant, now even more mysterious with the powerful force within her. Moreover, if used well, her immense power could do many things.
"I..." Keke pondered for a moment, then looked at Alex, "I don''t know." Keke''s face was filled with fear; she didn''t know why she was suddenly afraid.
However, as they were talking, the ground suddenly shook. Rumble! A deafening noise came from a distance.
"What''s happening?" Alex''s gaze sharpened, he looked into the distance, and then immediately led people to sprint towards the noise.
"What''s going on?" As soon as Alex arrived, he was baffled by the scene before him. In front of him, a crack that stretched for a hundred meters opened up before everyone. A giant serpent had its tail severed; its blood stained the ground red and continued to flow, a foul stench wafting through the air.
