As the bloody throne formed, the surrounding terrain began to change. The ground beneath their feet was covered with layers of fresh blood, dyeing everything red. Along with the movement of the blood, whispering voices could be heard...
The Deception anomaly hurriedly retreated, exclaiming:
"How is my anomalous domain being covered? What kind of anomaly are you!"
Bai Ling slowly raised her right hand and gripped toward the anomaly.
Streams of blood energy formed, instantly enveloping the anomaly. Then, as Bai Ling clenched her fist, a red light flashed, and the ball of blood instantly burst, staining the surroundings with layers of blood.
The anomaly hurriedly stood up. One hand was severed, and half her head was gone... Small insects began to crawl out, repairing her head and hand.
"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly!"
She shouted to her Self-Blame self.
Her Self-Blame self reluctantly walked over. Starting from the head, the Deception self devoured the Self-Blame self alive. Her maggot-infested face began to radiate vitality, and soon she became a beautiful young woman. She grew a slender bone framework to support her body, lifting herself tens of meters above the ground, and attacked Bai Ling with countless slender bone-arms from her back.
"Heehee."
While attacking Bai Ling, the anomaly kept giggling, mentally attacking the ears of everyone around.
Bai Ling sat on the throne of her crimson blood domain. When bone spikes came toward her, the surrounding blood would automatically block them.
Bai Ling slowly stood up and concentrated a blood-red chain in her hand. She pointed at the anomaly in the air, and the chain flew toward it.
The moment the chain got close, the anomaly would teleport to a spot not far away. Her bone spikes didn't stop and continued to attack Bai Ling.
"I don't believe your anomalous domain can defend forever!"
Bai Ling didn't move, but no matter how many times the Deception anomaly dodged, the chain would instantly change direction and continue pursuing, as if it could extend infinitely. It was already hundreds of meters long.
Seeing the chain get one centimeter closer after each teleport, the anomaly became increasingly anxious.
She thrust out a giant bone spike from her abdomen, one meter thick, piercing into Bai Ling's blood domain. As the blood barriers broke one by one, Bai Ling moved.
The chain Bai Ling had created reached its end, and hanging from it was a blood-red dagger engraved with patterns. Bai Ling held the dagger against the bone spike. As the bone spike continued to pierce forward, the moment it touched the dagger, it turned to powder.
"What?"
Deception looked at this scene in disbelief.
"This was my all-out attack..."
After this attack ended, the chain's head trapped the anomaly, then glowed intensely red and kept vibrating. A series of chain explosions sounded, and everything around the chain turned to ashes.
Bai Ling, having lost too much blood, tiredly lay on the ground and passed out.

"Meow meow?"
"Meow meow meow!"
The five small cats transformed into human form and carried the three women back to Bai Ling's room. The colorfully different little girls were doing various tasks—some taking care of them, some cooking, some watching TV?
After half an hour, they ran out of energy and turned back into cats...
'Where am I?'
Bai Ling slowly opened her eyes. The familiar ceiling—is this my home?
Strange, it felt like she was holding something. A soft sensation came from her hand. Chi Xiaoyu also opened her eyes.
"Hmm?"
Their eyes met. The two were currently lying in bed embracing each other, with an unconscious Maomao on the floor.
Bai Ling jumped up awkwardly, and seeing the sun about to rise, she hurriedly opened the door.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Wait, how do I contact you? Become my contracted anomaly!"
Watching Bai Ling leave, Chi Xiaoyu sighed. What a good anomaly, if only she could contract with her...
"Meow meow meow!"
The five small cats around seemed to be saying, "Hurry up and thank us for taking care of you!"
