Lynn was stunned as he hung upside down, while Little One (˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅) opened her mouth to show him her cracked front tooth.

"It's cracked—it's cracked—my speech—has a whistle—waaahhh—"

Little One cried bitterly.

She cried with immense sorrow.

Meanwhile, behind a distant hill.

The Unicorn Ghost King (‧̣̥̇꒪່⍢꒪່) stared at the scene unfolding in the distance, his mind buzzing with confusion.

He almost instinctively turned his head to look toward his Big Brother and Sister-in-Law.

Instantly, his expression became (((;

꒪ꈊ꒪;

))).

Those two heads, larger than small mountains, sat side by side, with dark clouds gathering and swirling above their crowns.

From behind, their expressions couldn't be seen, but the silent aura emanating from their silhouettes gave off a terrifying sensation, like a storm was about to unleash its fury.

Big trouble!

Serious big trouble!!

Because he knew very well just how doting his Big Brother and Sister-in-Law were toward their daughter.

They treated her like something that would melt in their mouths if held too long, something that would break if held in their hands. Whenever she went out, they would provide distant escort, secretly following to ensure their daughter wouldn't encounter any misfortune...

And now...

Someone had just slapped her across the face!!

The Unicorn Ghost King swallowed hard, his eyes widening as he said, "Big Brother, Sister-in-Law, that... I think..."

Crack crack crack—

Countless terrifying fissures instantly spread out from beneath those two heads.

The Unicorn Ghost King (ΩДΩ): "Wah yaya ya!!"

The Titan Head narrowed his eyes, which were the size of small buildings, and said, "Just now—did you see clearly—"

The female head revealed a vicious expression, saying, "Saw it—very clearly—"

At this moment, these two heads that had spent thousands of years directing malice toward each other were for the first time standing together in perfect synchronization.

The Titan Head said deeply, "I am—very angry right now—"

The female head ground her teeth with a cracking sound, viciously saying, "I feel—the same way—"

"..."

A brief silence fell.

And then in the next instant, under the Unicorn Ghost King's shocked gaze.

Boom—

A tremendous roar.

Those two heads instantly leaped up, the massive heads soaring kilometers into the sky in one bound.

The Unicorn Ghost King (((;

꒪ꈊ꒪;

))) watched them disappear.

They're done for!

Absolutely done for!

He swore, anyone who dared to make their daughter cry right in front of Big Brother and Sister-in-Law—even if God himself showed up, there would be no saving them!

That guy really has no sense of self-preservation! How could he just randomly slap someone without checking who they are first!

Losing some puppets would have been bad enough.

But now they're truly finished!

...

Meanwhile.

On the battlefield.

Under the control of that massive consciousness, numerous remaining Hunters and Mechanical Swarm Forces quickly gathered around the enormous God Hunter Puppet head.

Standing dozens of meters tall, it resembled a skinned giant, with terrifying crimson muscles clearly visible across its body.

The God Hunter Puppet raised its head, expression indifferent, emanating an incredibly terrifying aura from its entire body.

It flexed its wrist, looking down at the distantly crying Little One and Lynn who kept comforting her while patting her head and saying "Don't cry, baby," before stating indifferently:

"You should be that human who destroyed one of my Flesh Puppets a few days ago."

"An Origin-level creature, impressive. Being able to borrow such power means you could indeed run rampant through this Dark World."

"However, you never should have dared to provoke our Demonkin Association. Today, you've destroyed so many of my biological puppets—I think you won't be leaving here alive!"

[Warning! Crisis level 100%]

Lynn suddenly looked up, his expression calm, as he flipped down from Little One's head.

He instantly raised his revolver with one hand, aiming at the distant massive God Hunter Puppet, narrowing his eyes as he said:

"Do you know how much psychological damage a slap across the face can cause to such a small child?"

"Waaah—"

Behind him, Little One (˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅) cried even more sorrowfully.

"..."

The God Hunter Puppet sneered, cracking its neck with a clicking sound, saying, "Seems you've got courage. What? Are you really this overconfident? Planning to challenge me with that toy in your hand?"

"Heh heh heh, let me give you some advice—you should run while you still can. Before I eliminate this Origin-level creature, you might still have some time left to live. Cherish these moments of being alive."

Bang—

A gunshot.

A demon-hunting bullet instantly struck the God Hunter Puppet's forehead, exploding with tiny electrical currents before falling to the ground.

But Lynn didn't stop.

Bang bang bang bang bang—

He continuously pulled the trigger, emptying all the ammunition from his revolver.

The spectators watching through Sight were instantly shocked by this scene.

"Is he insane?!"

"That creature obviously isn't someone to mess with! Judging from that earlier exchange, even that Origin-level creature might not be a match for that giant!"

"This guy, he's truly lost his mind!"

That earlier slap had sent the Origin head flying dozens of meters—wasn't that enough to show how powerful it was?!

This person, he's too reckless!

"You dare shoot at me?" The God Hunter Puppet narrowed its eyes, crushing the bullets that had landed in its hand into fragments.

Lynn calmly looked at it, the dark gun barrel aimed at its head, saying:

"Ah, weak though it may be."

"But watching someone bully their patient right in front of their doctor—no matter how you look at it, this feels incredibly infuriating!"

"Waaah—"

Little One cried even louder.

Lynn turned his head, tilting his hand toward the crying Little One behind him while giving a thumbs-up, his teeth making a "ding" sound as they sparkled with a point of light.

That expression seemed to say.

Don't worry.

Big brother is here!

No crying now.

Little One (✪‸✪) wiped her tears, saying, "Mmm—"

[Ding! Little One's trust in you +1]

"Even at a time like this, he still hasn't forgotten to show off?!"

The spectators watching through Sight all showed (ΩДΩ) expressions.

Absurd!

This is absolutely ridiculous!

Is he truly fearless, or is he actually mentally unstable?! This is like facing an incoming nuclear missile, not only not running away, but instead flipping it off while striking a cool pose for the little girl behind him—how utterly absurd!
