When Lu Luo's head reached under the bed, a voice emerged from the pitch-darkness beneath.
This voice sounded almost identical to that of Lu Xiaoyi previously.
"Daddy, you're back again!"
Lu Luo's expression became stiff and grave. After gaining the Observer,
in terms of detailed observation, his vision was even stronger than that of Gu Fangyi, who possessed Hawk Eye.
So even though it was dark under the bed, he could still clearly see the owner of the voice.
A lump of flesh!
A lump of flesh that was continuously twisting and struggling!
Lu Luo found this lump of flesh somewhat familiar.
But he didn't need to recall it himself, as the Observer had already provided the accurate answer.
"Xu, a Ninth Tier aberrant species, the second Angel Envoy, the World Devourer.
One of the origins of the Devouring Power, the embodiment of malice."
The embodiment of malice, huh? That doesn't sound like any good guy... The Devourer is really something!
"Well, you usually make use of the Devourer more happily than anyone else, and the Sequence is part of you to begin with.
So isn't this like scolding someone furiously and including yourself in the barrage?"
Looking at Xu, Lu Luo recalled the scenes he had seen earlier.
Xu was pinned to the ground by a group of human mighty ones with a celestial pillar, and ultimately sealed by the Doomsday Disc, becoming part of the Sequence Force.
But judging by the current situation, even the Doomsday Disc couldn't fully contain Xu's power.
If Lu Xiaoyi is the microcosm of the Doomsday Disc,
then the existence of Xu had already caused great trouble to Lu Xiaoyi, that is, the Doomsday Disc itself.
Just like the state within the Disc Space.
The Doomsday Disc needed the power of the Devourer to drive away the void creatures around it and gather energy.
And the Devourer, in the process of being used by the Doomsday Disc, continuously permeated the essence of the disc.
Under the coexistence of both, they were not complementary, but rather entangled in a life-and-death struggle, each using the other.
Xu would undoubtedly be dead without the Doomsday Disc.
And the Doomsday Disc needed the power of the Devourer to protect itself.
"What a complex relationship!"
"Although we were colleagues before, to be frank, this guy is pretty dangerous.
It's more dangerous than any other colleagues."
Lu Luo found it rather peculiar that the Observer referred to the physical manifestation of the Devourer, Xu, as a colleague.
But the danger of the Devourer didn't need to be reiterated.
The toughness of the S-02 Sequence was so formidable that even the Doomsday Disc itself had already felt threatened, hadn't it!
Lu Luo bent down by the side of the bed, hesitating for a moment before extending his hand.
"Hey, hey, this is kinda dangerous!"
"Lu Luo!"
Both the Observer and Qi Xinzhu behind him raised their voices at the same time, trying to caution Lu Luo.
By this time, they had both understood the danger beneath the bed.
The Devourer, when on Lu Luo, had behaved relatively normally.
Because Lu Luo's character was very reserved!
He had never abused the power of the Devourer to slaughter the innocent.
Even though the Devourer had the ability to consume the energy of other Transcendents, Lu Luo had only used this ability in combat.
That was his line as a human being, the line of humanity that Lu Luo always upheld.
The absence of any outrageous behavior from the Devourer didn't mean it was pure and righteous.
The very appearance of the Devourer's tentacles was in itself quite evil.
If this Sequence had fallen into the hands of someone else, especially those who were unrestrained and unscrupulous.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
So, when the Devourer was not a part of Lu Luo, the Sequence itself was a source of danger.
For Lu Luo to reach out directly like this was extremely dangerous.
"It's okay. If I am to retrieve what belongs to me, I must inevitably confront it."
Lu Luo extended his hand.
He touched something under the bed, that lump of flesh!
Even though he didn't know why the so-called World Devourer had become a lump of flesh and hidden under this bed.
Lu Luo knew that everything here was actually a microcosm of his own body.
The Devourer had always been there.
CRACK!
Something bit Lu Luo's finger, which from the feel of it, was likely the Devourer's feeding mouthpart.
However, by that point, Lu Luo had already acquired the Faithless, so the Devourer's bite did not breach his defenses.
"Not being good, are we!"
The lump of flesh under the bed fell silent for a moment before making another sound.
"So Daddy really came for me? Are you here to take me back?"
"Yes, I've come to take you back. Are you ready to leave with me?"
Lu Luo clearly stated his purpose, manifesting a strong stance.
"Daddy left me here just now and it made me very sad, so I don't want to go with you!
Can you send her back here, Daddy?"
'Her' must refer to Lu Xiaoyi, which is the Doomsday Disc.
Lu Luo smiled faintly.
"Hehe, disobedient children never reap good rewards, you know!
In my hometown, if we come across a naughty bear child, generally, there's only one outcome.
And that is a good spanking, until they learn to behave."
Lu Luo suddenly made his move, seizing the opponent's barbed tentacle in his grasp.
Sharp spines and cutting mouthparts began to incessantly tear at Lu Luo's fingers.
But at this moment, the Devourer was truly weaker than Lu Luo.
With the armor characteristic of the Faithless, Lu Luo could unabashedly grab it.
Then he forcibly dragged it out.
SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
The lump of flesh let out a piercing screech as massive tentacles continuously stretched out from it.
A great many of them wound around Lu Luo.
This startled Qi Xinzhu, who was on guard behind him.
"Lu Luo! Isn't that yours?"
"It's fine, it's very weak now. Use your large area attacks, your purifying ability, hit it!
Hit it to death, just ignore me."
Qi Xinzhu was slightly taken aback, as she was aware of some of Lu Luo's Sequence abilities.
Since Lu Luo said so, that meant he should have regained his previous defensive strength by now.
That put her at ease.
"Alright, Holy Radiance Cross."
Upon receiving Lu Luo's command, Qi Xinzhu began to unleash a multitude of Holy Radiance Crosses.
This was a purifying force capable of dispelling most negative states and evils.
When the Holy Radiance Crosses fell upon both Lu Luo and the Devourer, the Devourer screeched again.
Being the embodiment of malice, Xu found the effect of the Holy Radiance Crosses far too intense.
Qi Xinzhu, with her Fourth Tier strength, was overwhelmingly powerful at this moment.
The weakened Angel Envoy quickly shrank away, singed by the Holy Radiance, becoming a lump of flesh.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Luo grabbed the lump of flesh in his hand and said in a stern elder's tone,
"Little guy, do you really think you're Xu?
Don't be naïve. You're a Devourer, my Devourer, Sequence S-02.
From the moment of your Awakening, you've been in my service. Now, won't you come back?"
The Devourer, now shriveled into a ball, continued to struggle in Lu Luo's grip.
The force of Holy Radiance was still relentlessly burning its body, which became smaller and feebler.
However, under the illumination of Qi Xinzhu's Holy Radiance, Lu Luo also felt that part of the Devourer's malevolent thoughts being purified as well.
The feeling was quite pleasant, so Lu Luo did not rush things.
Honestly, the entire resistance of the Devourer wasn't as difficult as Lu Luo had expected.
Perhaps it was due to Qi Xinzhu's presence; after some time under the glow of the Holy Radiance, the Devourer seemed to be at its last gasp.
"Dad, are you going to kill me?"
"No, Daddy just wants to take you home."
Lu Luo's expression was serious and resolute; the Devourer's lump of flesh finally gave in at this point.
After contorting its body, it split into countless small black tentacles and burrowed into Lu Luo's body.
[Sequence S-02 Devourer has been reset.]
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Lu Luo's mouth.
Finally, it had returned!
"Now, it's time to leave this place."
Lu Luo took a moment to adjust to the Devourer, sensing its weakness now.
However, to leave as soon as possible, he had to utilize it still.
POOF!
Eight Devourer tentacles suddenly shot out.
These sturdy tentacles quickly pierced into the surrounding environment: the sky, the land, the air, and this very room.
With the Devourer's addition, Lu Luo could reclaim everything he had lost in a short span of time, the Doomsday Disc included.
The room began to fold, collapse, and twist.
As this peaceful little town started to disintegrate, and everything was swallowed by Lu Luo, only Lu Luo, Qi Xinzhu, and the little girl standing opposite them, Lu Xiaoyi, remained in the void.
"Let's go. Come home with me."
Lu Luo looked at Lu Xiaoyi, extending his hand.
But when Lu Xiaoyi tried to reach out to Lu Luo, the little bear she was holding in her arms suddenly broke free.
The little bear roared furiously at Lu Luo.
Its body rapidly cracked, expanded, and underneath the patchwork, its form swelled immensely.
Soon enough, the toy bear transformed into a massive brown bear shrouded in dark fiery shadows.
ROAR!
With a roar, the bear caused Lu Luo's and Qi Xinzhu's clothes to billow.
Its sharp fangs were now snapping at Lu Luo, while behind, Lu Xiaoyi screamed in terror,
"No, don't!"
But Lu Luo stood immovable, touching the bear's forehead with a finger.
"You must come back too, Summoner!"
The ferocious shadow bear suddenly froze, its body rigidly stopping in front of Lu Luo.
Its solitary eye began to look lifeless and confused.
Then it turned its gaze toward Lu Luo.
"You are the Summoner, and one of my battle Sequences. Maintain your status and remember what you should look like.
Follow me back."
At this moment, Lu Luo was like a stern father, the true master of this room.
Even the frenzied little bear could not defy the command of the room's owner.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The shadow bear's body shrank rapidly under the direction of Lu Luo's pointing finger.
First, the shadowy flames gradually receded, then the claws and fangs retracted, and finally, patches appeared on its body.
Soon, the giant bear turned back into a little bear.
It shrank into a doll, quietly standing there.
Lu Xiaoyi walked over to the little bear, picked it up, and said to Lu Luo with a beaming smile,
"Daddy is really amazing! You're becoming more and more formidable."
Lu Luo also smiled faintly.
"Of course, Daddy will always be formidable. Whatever you're worried about, whatever you're afraid of, Daddy will take care of it for you.
Come back, baby!"
"Okay!"
Lu Xiaoyi, holding her little bear, walked quickly toward Lu Luo.
As her fingers touched Lu Luo, both her body and the bear in her hands rapidly turned into particles, became a torrent of power, and merged into Lu Luo's body.
From this point on, only Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu remained in this space.
Yet even now, the two of them still did not leave this space.
Lu Luo, however, was neither anxious nor panicked.
The Devourer's tentacles reached out and pierced into the space.
"Let's go, Fusioner."
Following Lu Luo's reminder, the entire space suddenly vibrated, as if it had suddenly awakened.
At that moment, all of Lu Luo's Sequences fell into place.
And at the same moment, Lu Luo's spiritual world completely vanished, returned to its place.
His daughter, Lu Xiaoyi, was the Doomsday Disc, also known as his daughter.
A daughter, naturally, is of utmost importance to a father.
Therefore, the most important Doomsday Disc represents his daughter, appearing in his spiritual world.
The Observer, on the other hand, presented itself in a storybook that his daughter liked, within the storyline of her storybook.
In the storybook, the Observer took the form of a group of watermelons at the brink of death.
His daughter was worried about the watermelons, which is why she hoped Lu Luo would read the book to her so that he would discover the presence of the Observer and save them.
At first, Lu Luo did not understand, but after he finished reading the book about thirty thousand watermelons, he sensed the presence of the Observer.
As for the Devourer, it appeared as the monster under his daughter's bed, the embodiment of her nightmares.
The Devourer was very important, so at the outset, it took on a form similar to his daughter's.
If Lu Luo's resolve had been weak, doubting the importance of his daughter, the Doomsday Disc, the Devourer might have taken over completely, dominating the physical manifestation of Lu Luo's spiritual world.
This was also what his daughter had always been worried about.
Fortunately, Lu Luo's will was relatively clear, and his purpose quite distinct.
At that time, Lu Luo had felt that something was not quite right, so he made the best choice: to take his daughter away, to put distance between the Doomsday Disc and the Devourer.
Without a doubt, Lu Luo had succeeded.
The Faithless served as the binding tie between the two, representing both Lu Luo's power and his stance.
When the Faithless returned to Lu Luo, the Devourer and Doomsday Disc were completely separated.
Throughout the ordeal, the Doomsday Disc was protected by the little bear.
The power that materialized the little bear was Sequence S-07, the Summoner.
It persistently protected the Doomsday Disc, doing its utmost to prevent any harm from the Devourer.
It was diligent and responsible, up until Lu Luo awakened it.
The appearance of Qi Xinzhu symbolized external forces, or assistance.
This was related to how much Lu Luo cared about Qi Xinzhu and was connected to her touching the bubble.
Qi Xinzhu was important to Lu Luo, and she herself could assist him, which is why she appeared here.
In the process of cleansing the Devourer, the power of Qi Xinzhu was borrowed.
It can be said that everything here was symbolic, a reflection of Lu Luo's inner self and power.
And the element that fused all this together was naturally the last power to return, the Fusioner.
Once Lu Luo retrieved the power of the Fusioner, he naturally could return to the real world.
Thankfully, he completely reclaimed everything before returning.
Otherwise, he truly might have permanently lost those powers: lost the Doomsday Disc, the Devourer, the Fusioner, and the Summoner.
All of this was thanks to Qi Xinzhu.
The appearance of Qi Xinzhu was also down to him.
The appearance of Qi Xinzhu was like a coincidence, but it also seemed inevitable.
In sum, all the problems originated from the hidden dangers within Lu Luo's body.
This loss of all his powers served as a warning from the Doomsday Disc and other Sequences to Lu Luo.
He warned himself to be mindful of his own safety.
From the previous imagery, Lu Luo had already grasped the concept of Sequences, especially high-power Sequences.
Perhaps the Doomsday Disc itself contained S-02, but the S-02 Sequence was never fixed.
Just as a Sequence could be upgraded.
The second sigil of the Doomsday Disc had also become the Devourer after absorbing Xu.
This was something Lu Luo would definitely need to pay attention to in the future.
As for the strength of Ninth Tier monsters like Leviathan, he wasn't very clear either.
However, concerning the source of Sequences, he now had some clues.
"It's time to go out!"
BANG!
Lu Luo, pulling Qi Xinzhu, opened the great doors within his heart.
A day had passed in the inner world, but in reality, only a moment had elapsed.
Lu Luo felt the power rapidly growing and healing within his body.
Then he glanced at the surrounding bubbles and the now visible eyeless lizards.
[Unknown animal species, or rather, who knows if they even count as Exotic Species.
Their vitality is strong, almost comparable to that of Third or Fourth Tier organisms.
However, their combat strength is poor, around the Second Tier I'd say.]
"Lately, I've been up against big shots. Now, to bully the weak, I really am not quite used to this."
Lu Luo was also puzzled. How had such a trash group of creatures managed to drive Qi Xinzhu to be cornered by the bubbles?
This didn't make sense!
He clapped his hands.
HISS—HA!
He exhaled a large plume of white vapor, which was entirely steam.
The HISSING sound of the steam continually spread throughout the room.
Although these eyeless lizards had no vision, their actions relied mainly on temperature, smell, and hearing.
But the appearance of steam confused the temperatures and smells.
The erupting noise of the steam also covered their original sounds.
So, when the steam filled the area, the roles of the prey and hunter had completely switched.
"Time for the hunt!"
SQUISH!
Streaks of blood splattered across the room; all bubbles were pressed into a corner by the steam.
Although it was uncertain whether these bubbles posed any more threat, it was still wiser to be cautious at this time.
In a mere ten minutes, Lu Luo had killed hundreds of lizards.
These lizards scurried and ran in panic.
But the fog Lu Luo created made them completely lose their sense of direction.
They couldn't even manage to return to their nests.
They could only be mercilessly slaughtered here by Lu Luo, becoming nutrients for him to heal.
As the fog dissipated, Qi Xinzhu grasped Lu Luo's finger, her eyes lighting up slightly.
"Lu Luo, your injuries?"
"Hmm, much better now."
What Qi Xinzhu actually wanted to talk about wasn't the issue of Lu Luo's injuries, but rather the issue of his vitality.
Lu Luo's vitality had been completely cut off before.
But now, although he wasn't exactly brimming with vitality, at least he no longer looked as lifeless as he did earlier.
Moreover, Lu Luo could recover through the power of the Fusioner.
As long as there was enough energy, no matter how severe the injury, it wasn't really a problem for Lu Luo.
Looking at the bodies all over the floor, Lu Luo flexed his fingers.
Countless tendrils of the Devourer extended outward.
The lizards here all became nutrients for Lu Luo to restore his power.
However, the amount of energy needed for Lu Luo to fully recover from this draining battle was as high as 950,000.
This number was somewhat hard for Lu Luo to accept.
[Don't put on that act. The Doomsday Disc needs repairing, four Grade S need repairing, your energy and strength need recovering.
The only thing that doesn't need repairing is the Faithless; you should be thankful that the Fusioner and Doomsday Disc gave you a discount.]
"Is that so! Uh..."
Since there was no way to resist, he had to accept it.
After devouring everything here, Lu Luo surprisingly gained over 260,000 energy points.
Lu Luo grew even more puzzled about these lizards.
Although they were Second Tier in strength, they had the energy of Third Tier or even higher.
What's going on?
Just as Lu Luo was puzzled, a voice echoed in his mind.
And that voice activated the Observer.
[These lizards are outsiders.]
Lu Luo's pupils contracted slightly.
That voice was neither the Observer nor the Doomsday Disc!
Then how, exactly, did it activate the Observer?
