".....Kneel."
The voice, still carrying traces of youthfulness, echoed throughout the entire area.
The colossal being that had given into despair caused the platform to vibrate, followed by waves that rose one after another.
The enormous half-human, half-serpent reluctantly fell, but she did not give up; her claws continuously reached out, her steel tail kept striking, and her roars thundered across the skies...
But still, it was all in vain.
In front of the venomous snake’s sharp claws, Lu Ping’an merely walked over in silence.
And when he opened his half-closed eyes once more, they were no longer "empty"... Within those golden serpent eyes lay an irresistible divine might and the will of a "Deity."
"...Abyss."
"It’s the power of the Abyss..."
"Profanity True Words... My God, he actually dares to use it so casually in our homeland."
Yet, Lu Ping’an appeared indifferent. The Abyss’s will might have descended, but what of it? Could It really invade this world through him, a mere stepping stone?
At this moment, in Lu Ping’an’s eyes, there was only this old acquaintance... this old serpent.
".....Heh, dumber than before."
Lu Ping’an simply walked over and gently patted her huge cheek... Now, Lu Ping’an was probably not as big as this face.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Hate and willpower awakened, the Magic Monster, once again bound by the Abyss True Words, descended into complete madness and rage.
But what was the point...
Eat? Eat what?
The next moment, everyone saw the answer.
Lu Ping’an spread his arms, and the next moment, countless "black tentacles" drilled out from his shadow.
That blood-sucking man-eating plant? Just when everyone thought they had figured out the answer, an even more eerie scene unfolded.
Didirona screeched in agony, her body contorting and struggling, as countless snake heads on her tried in vain to escape.
After all, even the original Didirona of years past could not resist the True Words of the upstream Abyss bloodline, let alone this greatly weakened replica.
Amidst the screams, flesh flew in all directions.
At this moment, the enlarged screen displayed the bizarre scene unfolding.
The tips of those vines had transformed into living entities... Numerous pitch-black snake heads, greedily tearing and biting at Didirona’s flesh.
And what was even more incomprehensible was that the form and color of these snake heads bore too much resemblance to Didirona...
[Chr-style Glyph (Silver Lower Professional Ability): Designate a target, mimic its form, extract its flesh, draw out its soul, create a ’Soul Binding Manifestation,’ and use it as a ’Martial Soul’ for Hieroglyphic Boxing. ]
And at this moment, those that were tearing her apart were actually derived from her...
[Greedy Two-headed Snake (Silver Lower Martial Soul), Sculpted by Providers: Didirona and Ah Jiu.]
Only now, it wasn’t the Two-headed Snake that was ripping, hunting, and feeding; it was, in truth, hundreds of snake heads derived from Lu Ping’an’s Magical Vines, turning the battlefield into a feasting restaurant.
It’s hard to say, in this moment, whether the massive Snake Demon on the dining table resembled an Abyss Magic King, or whether the man encircled by an Abyss Aura and accompanied by numerous Magic Snakes resembled a...
"...Wasn’t it said that non-fighting abilities would be greatly weakened?"
While most people were frightened by the scene before them, some felt something was amiss.
Lu Ping’an’s move was supposedly not of the ’Rule-level’, but its power was clearly exaggerated.
Only the sky-high Priest Gan had a strange expression on his face; he had just received the message that the other party indeed used a Fighting Series Ability... To utilize a Fighting Series Ability to such an extent, even for a Life system, which is full of such monstrosities, was ridiculously outrageous.
However, the battle had reached this point, and there was no need to continue.
Even if Didirona’s skin and Life Force were incredibly thick, as long as she couldn’t break free, she was meat on the plate... Now ’she’, lacking enough intelligence and ’Knowledge’, could only use brute force helplessly and bewilderedly.
She couldn’t break free from the will of her bloodline roots...
[Authority True Words: The Gaze of One-eyed Newman (Snake Tamer)]
[Summoning Newman’s gaze to the position of the True Words user, manifesting its authority to completely dominate ’snakes’.]
She, like her original self, came from the True Words of the Abyss Duke, which would utterly control her until death... In all aspects, she actually fell short of her original self.
"Ah, as expected of Lu Ping’an from ’A Smooth Journey’, congratulations to him for completing his hunt... Let’s see his teammate."
At this time, the broadcasting screen finally remembered that this was a doubles match.
The screen shifted to the other side, displaying a scene of "filial piety and parental kindness"... On the pitiful ’Old Qian’s body, Qian Xiaomu was happily hopping around.
Then, she turned her head and looked towards Lu Ping’an’s side, equally dumbfounded.
"Alright, alright, next one... Tch, not interesting at all."
The Big Boss in the sky didn’t see the ordeal of the trial participant this time and was somewhat displeased.
It seemed that the next trial participant would be blessed.
The dispersal of the copied Monster also left Lu Ping’an a bit disappointed... he had wanted to gather more ’materials’ to strengthen the soul attachment of his Two-headed Snake.
"Tch, just this..."
Perhaps it was his dissatisfaction that was too obvious, causing the passing trial participants to shiver subconsciously and show a nervous and defensive demeanor.
This was merely the beginning.
This time, when Lu Ping’an returned to the ship, no one stopped him.
Wherever his gaze fell, the others would actively avoid meeting his eyes, and as he walked forward, like Moses parting the sea, they scattered to both sides.
He shook his head, ready to ignore it... but seeing Eve far away, staring intently at him, surprised him quite a lot.
Originally, he was prepared to be accosted and entangled by Eve upon his return, but he didn’t expect her to...
"...Her brain must be short-circuited, she really isn’t good at thinking. Now she must be pondering something, yet she doesn’t know how to face you. She’ll come to find you when she figures it out..."
At this time, the Big Cat knew her better.
The hesitancy and unease in the girl’s lake-colored eyes made even the perpetually carefree her waver to this extent, which surprised Big Cat herself.
"...But if she comes looking for you, you probably won’t be able to avoid it. Her mind might not be sharp, and she might be too lazy to use it, but it also means she is extremely stubborn."
"I know," Lu Ping’an knew there were some things he couldn’t avoid.
But the way the innocent girl shakily avoided his gaze surprised him, and at the same time, he felt a mysterious discomfort and heartache.
Unbeknownst to Lu Ping’an, there was another person looking at him with a foreign and shaken gaze, Xiao Mu walking behind him.
"Where’s Grandpa? Xiao Mu won; won’t he show up at all?"
The little girl, with her mouth agape, seemed to be saying something, but not a sound was heard.
"Don’t be silly, girl, I’ve already told you, he’s reached the end and won’t show up anymore..."
