Chapter 250: Scumbag and Yandere?

Suddenly, a figure appeared from within the scorching air, moving like a ghost, silent and swift. A long arm stretched out, slipping under Indivilia's armpit, and with a smooth motion, wrapped around her waist.

In the blink of an eye, as if tearing through space itself, they vanished from the path of the erupting lava. By the time they reappeared, they were already far away from the molten surge.

Indivilia barely had time to react before she found herself in an entirely different location. When she turned her head to look, she was immediately startled.

Standing before her was a humanoid mechanical armor—sleek, silver-white, with streamlined contours and an intricate design. The metallic surface was so polished that it gleamed like a mirror.

Shocked, Indivilia instinctively shoved the figure away and quickly darted to the side, eyes filled with wariness. Even though this mechanical being had just saved her, its strange appearance put her on high alert.

Then, in a flash of shifting lights, the armor's outer layer fragmented like peeling glass, revealing the person inside.

Indivilia was stunned. Even Dorothy, standing nearby, momentarily froze.

It was Mo Chen.

Mo Chen casually retracted the nanosuit.

The test just now had exceeded his expectations.

It activated within mere milliseconds, responding with incredible speed. Moreover, it had situational awareness capabilities, capable of accurately predicting potential attacks.

Additionally, Mo Chen's armor model, Fenrir Eriphon, came equipped with short-range spatial teleportation, allowing him to execute near-instantaneous movements.

That was how he had managed to snatch Indivilia away from danger in a fraction of a second.

Indivilia was momentarily dumbfounded.

She hadn't expected Mo Chen to save her.

Although… even if she had been hit by the lava, she wouldn't have died.

The ironclad desire for revenge that she had held onto for so long wavered slightly.

In this chaotic, war-ridden world, strength commanded respect—not just among humans, but even among Heretics. And Indivilia had, after all, lost to Mo Chen.

Then, just as she was about to process what had happened, she heard Mo Chen say something that nearly made her explode with rage.

"Don't get any ideas. I wasn't saving you—I was saving the kid in your belly."

At that exact moment, two figures flew onto the scene—it was Noah and Isabel, who had hurried over as reinforcements.

Noah, upon arriving just in time to hear Mo Chen's words, was briefly stunned.

Even as a Nikke, she couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

"Damn… that's cold."

Meanwhile, Isabel, who had been flying toward them cheerfully, suddenly froze mid-air when she caught Mo Chen's words.

"The Commander… has a child?"

At first, Isabel was dumbfounded.

Then, she looked as if she had been struck by lightning.

A child? How?!

Isabel hovered in the air, completely dazed. Her bright eyes grew vacant, as though she had turned into a lifeless statue.

Noah, noticing Isabel standing still like a sculpture, reached out and poked her a couple of times. She leaned in and whispered,

"Hey, snap out of it. The Commander having a kid—what's it got to do with you?"

Noah's words seemed to snap Isabel back to reality.

Her beautiful face turned ice-cold in an instant. Her gaze, once warm and vibrant, became as frigid as thousand-year-old permafrost.

And then… a chilling aura of death radiated from her body.

Without saying a word, she pulled out her shotgun and charged straight at Indivilia.

Noah's eyes widened in shock, reaching out in an attempt to stop her.

"Whoa, what the hell are you doing?!"

But Isabel completely ignored her.

Moving at full speed, shotgun in hand, she rushed toward Indivilia.

She didn't care about the setting, didn't care who was watching—

She raised the gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"BANG! BANG!"

Mo Chen had barely processed the situation when shotgun pellets, accompanied by flames, shot out from the barrel, hurtling toward Indivilia at high speed!

Fortunately, Indivilia had been keeping an eye on this strange individual. The moment the other person drew their weapon, she had tensed up, wary of any sudden attack. Now, seeing them fire without hesitation, with no warning or justification, she was both shocked and furious.

"Are you insane?!"

Enraged, Indivilia charged forward. Being a melee fighter, she had no intention of dodging. Her tail blade whirled in front of her at high speed, creating a barrier. A sharp clattering of metal echoed as she deflected the incoming shotgun pellets.

Who the hell was this lunatic attacking her out of nowhere?

"Was it this shameless woman who seduced you?"

Isabel showed no sign of panic. While rapidly firing her shotgun, she skillfully dodged Indivilia's sharp counterattacks. At the same time, she turned to Mo Chen, who stood nearby, still bewildered by the situation.

She fired round after round, each shot precisely aimed, locking onto Indivilia as though she had an aimbot installed. It was as if she could predict Indivilia's movements in advance, ensuring her shots always landed in just the right place.

This was Isabel's unique skill—her terrifyingly fast target-locking ability.

"Wait, what the hell is going on?"

Mo Chen's brain felt like it was short-circuiting. He couldn't make sense of the logic behind all this.

It was as if he had been arguing with someone, and suddenly, out of nowhere, a third person had rushed in and started beating the hell out of his opponent, all while shouting, Is he seducing you?

What was even more absurd was that this whole situation had absolutely nothing to do with Isabel!

With a flicker of movement, Mo Chen instantly appeared between the two women. In his hand, a massive slab of vibranium materialized, which he used as a shield to block the incoming shotgun pellets.

"Clang! Clang! Clang—!"

Sparks erupted upon impact!

Metal fragments scattered in all directions!

Vibranium was incredibly durable, with outstanding resilience. It could absorb heat, energy, and kinetic force far beyond any ordinary metal. Even high-explosive shotgun rounds couldn't leave so much as a dent on its surface.

Seeing Mo Chen step in, both Isabel and Indivilia instinctively halted their fight, simultaneously retreating a few steps. They stood on opposite sides of Mo Chen, eyes locked onto each other with hostility.

Mo Chen furrowed his brows and looked at Isabel.

"What the hell are you doing?"

After all, it was Isabel who had attacked first.

Isabel, however, ignored his question. Instead, she stepped forward, her voice filled with urgency.

"Commander, y-you have a child?"

Mo Chen was utterly dumbfounded.

"Whether I have a kid or not is my business. Also, aren't we, like, not that close?"

Who just walks up to someone and demands to know if they have a kid?

Besides, he had only met Isabel a handful of times.

"Please don't evade the question," Isabel insisted, uncharacteristically firm. "If you do have a child, you must tell me."

"...Why?"

Mo Chen was even more confused.

Since when did family planning become his problem?

A faint blush crept onto Isabel's cheeks, like the warm glow of a sunset. Yet her eyes remained resolute and unwavering.

"Because... I love you."

Mo Chen felt his mental circuits fry.

"...Huh?"

He was completely dumbstruck.

"Hold on. Excuse me, Miss, but we've only met a few times?"

Isabel cupped her face in her hands like a lovestruck schoolgirl experiencing her first crush.

"I actually saw you a long time ago. When I was in the sky, I caught sight of your figure. Unfortunately, I was on a mission at the time and couldn't leave my post. Now that I can meet you in person, it feels like a dream."

Mo Chen was speechless.

He had no idea how to respond.

An extreme fangirl falling in love with me?

Wait, that's not right either.

Even fangirls weren't this violent.

Standing off to the side, Indivilia was practically fuming.

What the hell did this have to do with her?! Was this woman insane?! It wasn't like she had wanted to have children!

She had just been dragged into this mess!

But Isabel quickly brought the topic back.

"So, please, you must tell me—is it your child?"

Mo Chen rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"If I say yes, what will you do?"

Without hesitation, Isabel answered, "I'll kill it."

"No." Mo Chen's expression instantly turned serious. "You can't kill the child."

The twins growing inside Indivilia were the product of the Red Tide. He hadn't even seen them yet.

Isabel's eyes dimmed with sadness.

But then, suddenly, they lit up.

The Commander said she couldn't kill the child… but he didn't say she couldn't kill that woman!

If she eliminated that woman, she could be with the Commander.

And then, she could become the children's adoptive mother… and after that…

Isabel cupped her face, her already stunning features turning bright red in an instant.

Her excitement was so intense that the luminous wings on her back fully unfurled.

Seeing Isabel blush and grow shy—especially with that unfiltered, intoxicating gaze, so warm it practically dripped with honey—Mo Chen's scalp tingled.

Wait. Was this woman a yandere?

No, wait—she was a yandere in the game!

Meanwhile, Indivilia caught Isabel's increasingly dangerous gaze and immediately raised her guard.

Mo Chen waved his hand dismissively.

"Whatever happens between you two, leave me out of it. Once the kids are born, do whatever the hell you want."

Noah, who had been listening from the sidelines, didn't know the full story between Mo Chen and Indivilia. From her perspective, it looked like he was heartlessly using women as breeding machines.

For a long moment, she was completely stunned, as if her worldview had been shattered.

After a while, she slowly let out a single word.

"Scumbag."
