"10"

"9"

"8"

Lynn suddenly looked up and shouted loudly:

"Little One, the base is about to explode! Let's get out of here first!"

"What about him—what should we do?"

Lynn smiled slightly, raising an eyebrow as he said:

"Of course we'll come back to dig him out later."

Without any hesitation, Little One immediately stopped pounding on that hard mechanical body. Countless tentacles leaped up, crashing through the steel structure above and quickly moving outward.

"5"

"4"

"3"

The countdown continued.

The Heart-Devouring Demon, suffering from severe brain lesions, crawled forward grotesquely, desperately reaching out, trying to climb outward.

But the brain lesions severely interfered with his consciousness, making this mechanical body unable to properly receive commands from his brain.

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

He repeated that phrase viciously, his resentment and hatred toward Lynn almost twisting his will.

"I will definitely take your life, I will definitely... fly~ I want to fly~~ take off flying~~~ hehehehehe..."

His schizophrenia flared up again, and he burst into a series of foolish laughs.

And almost simultaneously.

The countdown ended.

"Self-destruct system activated."

Boom boom boom boom boom—

Countless explosions occurred throughout the base, roaring flames instantly engulfing the corridor where the laughing Heart-Devouring Demon was located.

Outside, as a head leaped out from the large crater, the ground within a radius of several hundred meters instantly collapsed with a rumble. The massive explosion sent towering flames shooting into the sky.

Little One's huge head landed steadily.

A quick stop.

Bouncing and hopping to land at the edge of the explosion area.

[Ding! You have exceeded the task requirements: Leave the Body Intact. Task reward: 5 Black Skull Coins, base experience: 3000, special legendary reward: Skill: "Echoes of the Past"]

[Ding! You have completed the special task: Kill the President of the Demonkin Association. Task reward: Black Skull Coins x1, base experience 5000, special reward: Skill Enhancement Scroll x1]

Accompanied by the system notifications in his ears, Lynn smiled slightly and leaped out from Little One's mouth.

The explosive shockwaves blew fiercely against his forehead.

He smiled as he gazed at the billowing ruins.

"Finally, it's over!"

[Echoes of the Past]

[Category]: Skill

[Quality]: Legendary

[Description]: Special skill, consumes large amounts of mental energy, can briefly reproduce a target's state at a certain point in their past. Cannot change the target's actual power level. Success rate is proportional to the target's resistance level. Returns to normal after duration ends. Duration: 1 hour.

[Skill Enhancement Scroll]: Can enhance already learned skills, slightly improving skill effects. Maximum enhancement level: 10.

Plop—

The enhancement scroll landed in his hand.

And his skill list now contained a new skill.

"Echoes of the Past?"

Lynn looked at the skill description, carefully pondering it.

Judging from the description, this seemed to be another overpowered skill like his Random Diagnosis ability.

"Can reproduce a target's state at a certain point in their past? Does that mean I could turn a target into a fertilized egg?"

Lynn stroked his chin, considering some special applications.

But quickly.

He dismissed that idea.

Because if it's just reproduction without actually affecting the current power level with that past state, then it didn't seem very useful.

His mind instantly conjured an image of a fertilized egg chasing after him, making slapping sounds...

He looked utterly bewildered.

And just then, a massive earth-shaking sound came from the distance.

Titan Head and Godweaver Head had heard the commotion here and came bouncing over. Each jump was like a small mountain crashing heavily onto the ground, making it terrifying to behold.

"It seems—our daughter—has taken care of all of them—"

Godweaver Head emitted a malicious, terrifying laugh.

Titan Head chewed on the large amount of mechanical structures and flesh in his mouth, foul blood continuously oozing from between his teeth. He chewed viciously, saying:

"Sorry—daughter—that Colossus—I ate it all—"

Little One (✪ω✪) said: "Hmm—Daddy—did you break a tooth—let the doctor replace it for you—"

"..."

An eerie silence spread wantonly around them.

Lynn vaguely sensed the killing intent behind him. He coughed and said:

"Little One, did we forget something? That... maybe we should dig out that machine first?"

Although the system had already notified him that the Heart-Devouring Demon was dead.

He didn't think that mechanical body would be so easily destroyed. After all, even with Little One's terrifying monstrous strength earlier, they hadn't been able to crack open that machine's head.

Clearly.

That machine's defensive strength was absolutely comparable to a Root-level entity!

...

After about ten minutes of effort.

With Little One's help, Lynn quickly excavated the smoking mechanical body from the explosion's wreckage.

It was covered in burn marks, extremely hot to the touch, but aside from obvious surface melting signs, its internal structure remained intact.

This gave some indication.

Of just what kind of high-strength mechanical creation this was!

"The structure isn't severely damaged, but the brain inside is probably ruined."

Lynn flexed his hands, then pulled out his never-dulling Night Demon Blade, forcefully inserting it into the back of the mechanical creation's head. Turning around, his eyes reflected Little One as he said:

"Little One! Give it another smash, I'm very interested in that Heart-Devouring Demon's brain."

Little One (✪ω✪) said: "Okay—"

But before Little One could act, Lynn was instantly enveloped by two massive shadows.

Lynn turned around, wide-eyed, staring at the two huge heads coldly looking down at him as they approached. Cold sweat instantly broke out.

"Already starting—to order my daughter around—are you?" Titan Head clacked his terrifying fangs.

"No!" Lynn stared wide-eyed.

"This marriage—I haven't agreed to it yet—" Godweaver Head narrowed her eyes, looking quite malicious.

"Huh?" Lynn was baffled.

Something's wrong!

Something's very wrong!

What are they talking about? Why do I feel like I don't understand!

Marriage? What marriage!

Slap—

A loud noise exploded, shaking all creatures on the ground up two meters into the air.

Lynn turned around wide-eyed, swallowed hard, and then saw Little One's mother's huge tentacle rise up, his own Night Demon Blade having been thrust directly into the mechanical creation's head.

The skull cap was pried open directly.

Lynn stared wide-eyed, swallowing hard as he said: "Th... thank you, Auntie..."

Godweaver Head showed a strange, mysterious smile, clacking her mouth open as she said: "No need to thank—almost family now—too formal—"

Lynn shuddered.

For some reason.

He vaguely had an absolutely terrifying guess.

Lynn turned around. He could feel the terrifying gaze piercing his back from behind, but he tried hard to maintain composure, carefully approaching the machine.

When he saw the situation inside the head, Lynn froze for a moment, his expression quickly turning serious.

Just as he had guessed. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn Nove1Fire.net
