You are all bad women! Don't come over!

"Yes..." Shen Mochen immediately said.

"Then what is the principle behind your healing superpower, accelerated self-healing?" General Yan asked again.

"Yes, this healing ability is rather trivial. It can't cure missing limbs or broken bones; it can only..."

"So, have you ever tried healing a spatial rift?"

Shen Mochen was stunned and looked up at the rift that spanned hundreds of meters like an abyss, cocking his head.

"I... heal this thing?" Shen Mochen was dumbfounded.

"The nature of a spatial rift is essentially a wound caused by temporal-spatial disorder, and it has the ability to heal itself... It's just that sometimes, the wound is too large and it doesn't have enough time to heal, causing it to burst outright... we call this a 'collapse.' General Yin encountered a collapse; to block the onslaught of monsters, she held out until the last moment on the battlefield... Of course, the severity of your node's collapse is far less than that of General Yin's incident. However, even so, the impending disaster is not something a few of you can withstand."

"Are you sure I can heal a 'collapse'?"

"To be honest, completely uncertain. I didn't expect you to be able to stop the collapse, Buque is already urgently mobilizing personnel to go there... The collapse at node 0819 is progressing quickly, it may happen within an hour. But it's worth a shot, treat the dead horse as if it's alive. Your superpower itself is a miracle; who knows, maybe it can create a miracle this time too?"

Shen Mochen immediately nodded: "I can promise, but I have a request. If I'm unable to stop the collapse, then all members of Team 0819 must evacuate... I can stay behind to provide all the help I can for the combat troops that arrive later!"

General Yan agreed: "Alright, we'll leave it to Captain Shen!"

At the same time, a new order was issued. Shen Mochen replaced Liu Chaoyan as the overall commander for this beast disaster.

Shen Mochen looked at the fierce rift, took a deep breath: "Ran Linlin, take me up there!"

Others didn't know what Shen Mochen was planning to do, but before they had time to ask, Ran Linlin had already lifted Shen Mochen into the air in a princess carry.

"Fuzi, follow and protect him," Catherine ordered calmly.

"Could it be..." Liu Chaoyan was slightly taken aback, seemingly guessing Shen Mochen's intention, murmuring to herself, "Really? Truly, this is just too crazy..."

Approaching the rift, the oppressive sensation made Shen Mochen's heart thump wildly.

"Have you ever been inside this rift?" Shen Mochen asked the two Transcendents.

"No, it is not possible; it seems to be a one-way passage. Monsters inside can come out, but living creatures from the outside can't get in!" Ran Linlin shook her head, "What are you going to do?"

"Then let's get even closer!"

Shen Mochen stretched out his hand, pressed it firmly against the rift. It had a chaotic, soft, and elastic texture. He had no time to think; he released his superpower with all his might.

Almost instantly, the rift's expansion was stopped, and it began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!" Ran Linlin cursed in surprise.

On the other side of the rift, suddenly there were countless shrill screams as if starving ghosts were wailing, carrying with them a sense of warning and curse! Fuzi and Ran Linlin immediately went on the highest alert, one armed with a gun and the other with a shield, tightly protecting Shen Mochen. Shen Mochen continuously output his power, pushing his superpower to the limit!

He had originally thought his initial "healing" ability was just a trivial gift compared to other superpowers... now he realized he was truly blind to a great treasure!

About one minute later, the rift was completely closed, and the spatial stability of the area returned to normal.

"He's so strong, impossibly strong..."

Ran Linlin clung to Shen Mochen, peppering his face with kisses like raindrops, and even forgot how just a moment ago he had been fine with leaving her to die.

"Bang!"

A light arrow struck Ran Linlin's body, causing her to sway. The forty-meter-long machete was also ready to strike.

"Ah... sorry, sorry..."

Only then did Ran Linlin realize her lapse in decorum and sheepishly placed Shen Mochen back on the ground. Despite verbally apologizing, deep down Ran Linlin was secretly thrilled with her own impetuous behavior.

Shen Mochen wiped the saliva off his face, met with everyone else's icy stares.

"No, do you even know what this is? It's a collapse! I risked my life to handle this situation; shouldn't you all be cheering for me, your hero?"

Confronted with several hostile gazes and before he could bask in his immense joy, Shen Mochen began to shiver.

Ran Linlin coughed and disappeared into the void, skedaddling.

"Is that it then, it's resolved? And what exactly is a 'collapse'?"

Cai Yuncui pulled a tissue from her pocket and carefully wiped Shen Mochen's face.

Liu Chaoyan explained blandly, "It's a disaster of the highest order. I didn't expect Shen's superpower to be able to handle it so perfectly. We can head back now."

On the way home, Shen Mochen was silent in the car.

Xia Qingrou, still shaken, frowned and said, "Don't you all think there's a problem? Recently, the frequency of beast disasters has been increasing, and an A-class monster appeared not long ago! And now there's been a collapse; our location is far too dangerous!"

Cai Yuncui pouted, unable to refute Xia Qingrou's words. Han Muxue remained silent, seemingly distracted. Catherine played with her hair while fidgeting with Shen Mochen's hand... Only Liu Chaoyan calmly explained, "The two incidents you mentioned were anomalies. I was at a meeting earlier, where the higher-ups mentioned that the recent increase in beast disasters is just part of a normal cycle."

"Really, normal?" Xia Qingrou's brows slowly relaxed.

Shen Mochen then spoke, "That's what the higher-ups said, so there should be no problem. If the sky falls, there will be tall ones to hold it up."

"I haven't asked you yet, who is that dark-skinned woman?" Xia Qingrou pouted.

"She's reinforcements sent from above," Shen Mochen chuckled, "What, are you jealous?"

"Jealous? You flatter yourself!" Xia Qingrou pinched him.

With a teasing smile, Shen Mochen continued, "Not jealous? The arrow hit her because of jealousy, and if she weren't a Transcendent, there would be nothing left of her. Women in the midst of jealousy are frightening indeed!"

Xia Qingrou's face flushed with embarrassment and annoyance, she punched Shen Mochen, "I told you I'm not, I just... my shot went astray! Didn't the Princess also raise her greatsword?"

"I was just being cautious in case a monster attacked unexpectedly," Catherine said expressionlessly.

"Even so, it's a fact that the space is more unstable than before."

Han Muxue suddenly spoke in a low voice, though it sounded more like she was talking to herself.

Catherine and Shen Mochen exchanged glances; the former simply shrugged nonchalantly.
