A blueprint.

A perfect blueprint.

And a true Colossus that had shattered from the outside world into the Dark World!

That was probably around three thousand years ago, during some period, when that Colossus carrying an entire civilization's technology suddenly fell from a higher realm.

It was the perfect fusion of flesh and machinery!

From the information they had excavated, the complete Colossus's power far surpassed even the Root level, reaching a degree beyond their comprehension!

And precisely because of this.

Successive generations of Demonkin Association members had been fanatically trying to decipher the secrets of that Colossus, even attempting to rebuild it at one point!

Because if they could truly reconstruct that Colossus, no one in the entire Dark World could match them!

However, due to some terrifying discoveries later on.

This project was explicitly forbidden by the old President.

The various major components of the excavated Colossus were kept by the group of Elders who had led the project back then, and the Colossus Project was thus shelved.

But who could have imagined.

After the Heart-Devouring Demon took power, it completely disregarded the previous President's orders.

Restarting that terrifying project.

The Doll Mistress frowned as she gazed at the Hanging Tower, saying, "How is this tower's combat capability? Compared to that true Colossus you mentioned?"

Bloodsaw said deeply, "Completely incomparable, but it was built using some of the Colossus's theories. In terms of destructive power, it rivals the Root level!"

The Doll Mistress immediately thought of a certain possibility.

Just as she was about to share her speculation with Bloodsaw.

Suddenly.

The ground trembled violently once again.

Like some enormous footsteps, or like massive mountains crashing heavily against the earth.

Thump—

"This is... could it be..."

The two of them jolted, immediately turning around on the mountain ridge to look toward the direction where the vibrations were coming from on the horizon.

And in the next moment.

Boom—

Accompanied by a massive tremor.

In the distant wasteland, they saw a huge girl's head suddenly leap up from a canyon below, appearing in their field of vision.

"That's, the Headhunter?!"

Bloodsaw was instantly shocked, almost immediately recognizing that enormous creature appearing in their view.

He quickly picked up binoculars for a closer look, and finally confirmed.

"Exactly! It really is the Headhunter! Could it be that the Demonkin Association has provoked such a monster?!"

Seeing this scene.

Bloodsaw almost immediately understood the reason for activating Protocol Zero.

Indeed.

Protocol Zero was established precisely as a contingency plan for when the Association encountered monarch-level and root-level terrifying creatures!

"They've completely lost their minds!"

Bloodsaw said with full anger, gazing into the distance at that enormous head.

Although he was currently being hunted down, as a former Elder of the Demonkin Association, seeing this scene still filled him with rage.

"But that Headhunter seems somewhat smaller in size, its strength probably can't compare to those truly powerful root-level beings."

He gazed intently, saying:

"If there's only this one, the prototype Colossus should be able to handle it easily."

But almost as soon as he finished speaking.

Boom—

Another loud noise.

They saw a head several times larger than the previous one suddenly leap up from the canyon behind it.

Bloodsaw: "!!!"

Doll Mistress: "!!!"

This time, Bloodsaw was truly shocked.

"There's another one?!"

His gaze immediately fixed intensely on the other head, which seemed to be a female head, full of malice and cruelty. Just one look would make your blood run cold.

Bloodsaw trembled with fear, gasping in shock, saying shakily: "It's over! I thought there was only one, but they actually provoked two root-level beings at once!! And one of them is a mature form!!"

The Doll Mistress opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment couldn't get any words out.

Bloodsaw pondered for a moment, contemplating: "But if it's just two root-level beings... even if the prototype Colossus can't hold out, it should definitely buy some time. For data transfer, this time should be..."

Boom—

Before he could finish speaking.

A head much larger than those two heads instantly leaped up from the canyon, landing heavily beside the other two heads.

Bloodsaw: "(ΩДΩ) Waaaah!!!"

Doll Mistress (‧̣̥̇꒪່⍢꒪່ ): "Th-this this this..."

[Bloodsaw SAN -10]

[Doll Mistress SAN -10]

Bloodsaw (ΩДΩ) trembled with his arms, saying: "Three!! Three of them!! Mlgb! Did they stumble into a root-level nest?! Is this for real?!"

The Doll Mistress murmured: "What do you think... are the Demonkin Association's chances of winning?"

Bloodsaw jumped up, stomping the ground repeatedly, urgently saying: "Win what?! They'll be lucky to have any scraps left!! No creation, no matter how amazing, can handle three of these!! At this point, we might as well go back early and get some sleep!"

The Doll Mistress dazedly picked up her binoculars, gazing into the distance at the three root-level Headhunters that had appeared.

To be honest.

Having lived in the Dark World for so many years, this was the first time she had seen so many root-level creatures gathered in one place.

It must be said.

Both terrifying and spectacular.

She carefully observed, and in the next moment, she suddenly froze.

Because she suddenly saw the smallest of the heads open its mouth, then extend a tentacle that pulled out a humanoid creature from its mouth, placing it on top of its head.

And that originally terrifying girl's expression instantly became (✪ω✪).

Doll Mistress;

"(꒪Д꒪)ノ"

Wait a minute!

Something's wrong!

Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so weird!

Why would a root-level Headhunter show such an adorable, almost like a little sister next door acting cute expression!

And...

What's with that human?!

It doesn't seem like emergency food for that Headhunter...

After all, who would put emergency food on their head, let it ride them, and show such a cute expression to emergency food!

She stared blankly through the binoculars, murmuring:

"Bloodsaw... look quickly... I've noticed something strange..."

"There's some invincible being... riding that Root Headhunter..."

Hearing this, Bloodsaw raised an eyebrow, grinding his teeth: "This isn't the time for jokes, the Hanging Tower is definitely gone. We should quickly figure out how to bypass this route to Sin City."

The Doll Mistress murmured: "No... look quickly... I'm not joking, there really is a human, riding that Headhunter..."

Bloodsaw immediately became impatient.

What time is this for jokes!

A human?

And riding a Headhunter?!

Why not say a mouse is riding a cat? Updates are released by Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Impatiently, he picked up his binoculars and looked toward the direction of the three Headhunters.
