Ruan Minh Thu said, "If you keep me in check from the outside, I'll go in and destroy the core."
Mu Yu frowned. How could he let an Omega do something so dangerous?
Ruan Mingchu: "It's obvious now that he wants to eat me up."
Mu Yu had nothing to say, but he couldn't just let Ruan Mingchu go in like that.
Now that the terminal had a signal, Mu Yu contacted the commander of the 358th Army and asked them to find a way to send over personal protective equipment.
When not activated, the shields were only the size of buttons, like dust in the eyes of the massive fusion monster. Even with dozens of shields thrown over, only a few ended up in the hands of the two.
Mu Yu asked, "You're a healer, do you have any high-damage skills?"
The core of a fusion monster is not necessarily as easy to destroy as the core of a robot.
In response, Nguyen Minh Thu smiled and said, "I have never said that I am a healer."
Before Mu Yu could think about what he meant, Ruan Mingchu had already rushed out.
He was like a fragrant pastry, captivating the fusion monster's attention. The moment he burst from the water, several enormous tentacles shot towards Ruan Mingchu.
Mu Yu quickly snapped out of his daze and threw his skill at the tentacle, blasting it to pieces.
The soldiers were startled by the two men's actions, and by the time they realized what was happening, Ruan Mingchu had already been swallowed by the fusion monster.
Mu Yu shouted, "Don't attack its abdomen, attack its tentacles!"
The soldier was bewildered: Should we follow the orders of a little brat?
Actually, it wouldn't make much difference if they didn't listen. Their current task is to trap the fusion monster here, waiting for their comrades to clear the isolation zone and cut off the fusion monster's reinforcements. That way, when they surround and kill the fusion monster again, it won't have any star beasts to fuse with.
Therefore, there is not much difference between attacking the tentacles or the abdomen.
Ruan Mingchu was swallowed whole, and the fusion monster showed little interest in Mu Yu. Soon, Mu Yu rejoined the spacecraft and arrived on the command ship.
Mu Yu reported the situation to the highest commander here, the deputy commander of the 358th Army, and instructed the soldiers outside to fully cooperate with Ruan Mingchu.
The deputy commander looked Mu Yu over with interest and asked, "In what capacity are you speaking to me about this?"
It's true that Mu Yu is the only son of the Grand Marshal of the Star System, but nowadays the Marshal position is not hereditary, so Mu Yu is not a young marshal.
Moreover, Mu Yu is essentially a military academy student. He entered the academy with the rank of second lieutenant, making him a subordinate to the deputy commander.
The deputy commander wasn't on Marshal Mu's side; he just wanted to keep Mu Yu from being too arrogant. If the situation was true, he would definitely cooperate.
Mu Yu glanced at the deputy commander as if he were an idiot: "Do you think the future star system commander can command you?"
"Yes, yes, yes," the deputy commander slapped his forehead and replied repeatedly in annoyance.
Damn it, he's only thinking about his dad and has completely forgotten about his divorced mother.
The position of marshal is not hereditary, but that of star system commander is. Although they are not in the same department, the star system commander holds the power over military spending, and the allocation of military funds each year requires the approval of the latter.
Therefore, whether in the military or the government, Mu Yu's background is extremely strong, and he himself is exceptionally talented. He has always been the "perfect child" in the eyes of others since childhood.
Outside, people were ready to support Ruan Mingchu, but inside the fusion monster's belly, Ruan Mingchu was engrossed in his stroll.
The earliest star beasts were the size of small mountains, about two stories high, with very wide bellies. Their intestines were like man-made passageways, and their stomachs were like rooms.
The walls of the passageway are also covered with strange murals.

Author's Note:
Please visit my column!
16. Ruan Mingchu, being carried in a princess carry, has a ferocious expression.
The mural tells the story of a kind prince who encountered a great sea disaster and was rescued by a mermaid with a fishtail. The two fell in love and spent three years at sea, but the prince received news that his father was critically ill. The fishtail transformed into legs and followed the prince ashore, returning him to his home. The old king was gravely ill, and the prince was heartbroken. To cheer him up, the mermaid cut off her own flesh and fed it to the old king, who recovered and became healthy enough to hunt again.
As for what happened afterward, the mural does not say.
Ruan Minhchu felt that the mural mainly depicted the idea that mermaid flesh could cure diseases and save lives.
The passageway is long, and there are several sets of murals.
The second group tells another story of a mermaid, whose blood can beautify the skin. The third group says that a mermaid's heart can revive the recently deceased. The fourth group says that mermaids can weep tears that turn into pearls, which contain abundant energy. The fifth group says that mating with a mermaid can increase physical and mental strength.
...
In short, mermaids are heavenly treasures, precious from head to toe.
So what exactly is the relationship between this fusion monster and the mermaid?
Filled with questions, Ruan Mingchu arrived at the core of the fusion monster.
This is a room covered with black slime on all sides, with a round bead in the very center that beats like a heart. The bead is connected to the surrounding area by slime lines.
Strangely, Ruan Mingchu felt a desire rising from the bottom of his heart, a desire to devour.
He walked toward the beads without warning, as if he were being controlled, or as if he knew in advance that the slime would not harm him, because the slime receded wherever he went.
Ruan Mingchu reached out his hand, wanting to touch the bead that emitted a faint, soft light, but before he could touch it, the bead scattered into points of light and flowed into Ruan Mingchu's body.
In an instant, something new appeared in Ruan Mingchu's mind.
It turns out that mermaids really do exist in this world, and the round bead from before was the energy core that the mermaid turned into after she died.
It is this peculiar crystal core that gives the star beasts the property of fusion.
The crystal core has now disappeared, and the fusion monster has collapsed on its own. Ruan Mingchu needs to leave in time.
However, before leaving, he wanted to destroy the murals.
The moment the crystal core bead disappeared, the soldiers outside observed the fusion monster's painful howls and disintegration, and it transformed back into the A+ grade lava beast.
This peculiar phenomenon prompted the deputy commander to order the capture of the Star Beast alive.
Mu Yu stopped him: "My classmate hasn't come out yet."
Deputy Commander: "Once the star beast is captured, your classmate will naturally be released."
Mu Yu remained silent, only staring coldly at the deputy commander, making the deputy commander break out in a cold sweat.
The deputy commander, in a fit of desperation, declared: "I'll do whatever you say, no matter what!"
Mu Yu: "Let them figure out a way to pry open the lava beast's mouth."
Deputy Commander: Damn, I was just saying, you really dare to give orders!
But since the words had already been spoken, the deputy commander couldn't go back on his word, so he just treated it as keeping the prince company while he studied!
After destroying the mural with the [Corrosive Beam], you should try to get out.
There are two exits: one is the mouth that came in, and the other is the corresponding [missing information].
Without hesitation, Ruan Mingchu chose the mouth.
After the soldiers used ropes to pry open the lava beast's mouth, Mu Yu hovered near the mouth on a flying skateboard, preparing to greet Ruan Mingchu.
This action naturally enraged the Lava Beast. After all, it was an A+ level beast, a local overlord, wasn't it?
However, having been nearly killed and revived by the crystal core several times, it was no longer viable.
Even without so many A-level warriors here, Mu Yu alone could kill it.
As soon as Ruan Mingchu popped her head out, Mu Yu saw her. Before Ruan Mingchu could react, Mu Yu rushed over on his flying skateboard, picked her up, and flew away.
Ruan Mingchu, held in the princess's arms, had a ferocious expression: Very good!
Mu Yu lowered his head: "Hmm?"
Ruan Mingchu gave a sweet smile: "It's nothing, thank you."
Mu Yu: "Hmm."
Mu Yu had no idea that because Ruan Mingchu was an Omega, he deliberately didn't carry him like a sack as usual, but instead gave him a gentle princess carry, which made the Crown Prince, who hadn't allowed anyone to carry him since he was three years old, particularly unhappy.
Since Mu Yu meant well, His Highness the Crown Prince decided not to charge interest. He would wait until Mu Yu regained his 1.99-meter height and then carry him back in public.
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu were sent to a spaceship and returned to school with their classmates.
As for the military training star, according to Mu Yu, it was taken over by Marshal Mu's direct troops.
I thought the military training was over, but the school decided to hold a performance instead. The venue was changed to the school's gymnasium, and there were also upperclassmen and juniors as audience members.
As the highest military academy in the Double Nine Star System, the Comprehensive Military Academy is undoubtedly wealthy and powerful.
For this day's performance, each student was given a military-style dress.
Unlike the usual school uniforms that vary from college to college, this time they are all uniformly white.
Military uniforms accentuate your physique, and white makes you look handsome.
The designer's intentions were good, but he clearly forgot that the person who was going to wear this outfit had been exposed to the elements for nearly a month.
A group of black eggs looking even blacker in white.
It is said that the cosmetics stores on campus were packed with customers that day, and everything that could whiten skin was sold out.
The buyers are all Alpha and Beta.
After all, a refined Omega wouldn't allow themselves to get tanned.
"Wow, Brother Ruan, you look incredibly handsome in this outfit!"
"Beautiful and cool!"
"Makes my mouth water!"
...
Ruan Mingchu covered his face in anguish. Ever since he changed into this outfit, Hao Youyou had been circling around him, constantly praising him in various ways.
Click, click, click... Hao Youyou wasn't just busy with her mouth; her hands were just as quick, taking hundreds of photos in just a few minutes.
No need to edit this picture after taking it, at most just adjust the colors.
While adjusting the colors, Hao Youyou asked Ruan Mingchu, "Brother Ruan, can I post this online?"
Ruan Mingchu, who had felt like every second had been an eternity and was finally relieved, said: "Whatever."
Hao Youyou first sent a few pictures to the group: [Pictures][Pictures]...[Pictures] Freshly baked beautiful pictures.
Immediately afterwards, there were 99+ messages, all praising the beautiful photos.
