With a complex expression, Aquarius glanced at Leon. After sighing twice in his heart, he didn't continue discussing the topic, seemingly approving Leon's "final plan."

After all, although the plan sounded deadly and could lead to a massive disaster if not handled properly, it was better than letting the three tribes of the Stone Marrow Realm emerge, wipe out him and Leon, and then sever the royal family's bloodline with the Slaughter King Association, allowing all True Gods to freely enter reality.

"Then it's settled."

Through the expression of the blue-haired old man, Leon understood that he had approved his proposal. Leon curled his lips into a charming smile at him and then gestured behind him with a wave of his hand.

Upon receiving Leon's signal, Nightmare Messenger, Zar-King Serpent, twisted its head and swallowed King Harvey on its back in one gulp. It then lurched forward to snatch the female Cleaner standing nearby, who was gasping in shock.

"Oh no! Don't..."

The female Cleaner's protests were cut short as the mud-covered giant serpent tilted its head back and swallowed her. She slid down its esophagus into its belly, and after swallowing the "Sedative Siblings," the Zar-King Serpent's body began to shrink rapidly until it was just slightly thicker than a little finger.

"Since we might enter the Stone Marrow Realm, it wouldn't be suitable for Melly and them to stay too far away."

After explaining to the blue-haired old man, Leon pinched the head of the Zar-King Serpent between his thumb and forefinger and wrapped it around his wrist.

The Zar-King Serpent obediently opened its mouth, bit its own tail tip, and wrapped itself around Leon's nearly bloodless skin to form a bracelet, staying quietly on his wrist.

"Damn! At least ask me! So sudden... huh?"

Accompanied by a slightly surprised voice, a portion of mist seemed to dissipate from the abdomen of the black snake bracelet, forming a faintly visible small window. Peering out through it, the recently swallowed female Cleaner was clinging to its edges with a face full of surprise.

"I've opened a viewing window for you, so you can look out if you want, but try not to make any noise,"

Leon instructed the female Cleaner, then turned to the blue-haired old man, preparing to discuss the remaining not-so-bad plans, even after the worst-case plan.

The surrounding mantle suddenly shook violently. A large amount of scalding red magma spurted out from the fissures, accompanied by a clear sound of shattering that seemed to pierce through one's heart!

...

It's done!

Watching the destructive tremors finally outpace the recovery speed, the Sea of Silent Stone shattered simultaneously. A trace of uncontrollable joy surfaced on Xuebei's beautiful yet embarrassed face.

Though Dongya was a bit mentally unstable, regarding large-scale destruction, he was undoubtedly among the best among the ordinary members of the Slaughter King Association. Only by specially bringing him back did it prove to be the right decision!

"Phew... I told you... no problem, right?"

Unaware of Xuebei's evaluation of him, after causing a massive disaster in the earth's core and obliterating all the Silent Stone bricks, a slightly exhausted Dongya slowly descended, then said with a hint of pride:

"If it weren't for that Leon... that guy being ridiculous, with my strength, I completely..."

"Not good! He's coming!"

"?!!!"

Watching the sudden disappearance of blood from Dongya's face, and then running away without any confirmation, Xuebei's expression darkened. He quickly reached out to grab him.

"Let go! Defend... defense!"

"Defend what! He's not coming! Straighten your tongue!"

Listening to Dongya's voice distorted with Fear, Xuebei couldn't help but say, speechless:

"Are you that scared of him? Scared enough to become incoherent?"

"I..."

"Lucky I tested you, otherwise, if he really came later, you'd probably turn and run, leaving me behind!"

"Uh..."

With a sheepish expression under the Raven Mask, Xuebei angrily said:

"You're good! I've already sensed someone quickly passing through the illusions I've set! Aquarius and that person will probably be here soon! Now you must calm down! Immediately! Right now!"

"But..."

"No buts!"

After scolding, Xuebei stared at the face of the female Cleaner's mother, grabbing Raven Masked Man wearing his guise, sinisterly reminding:

"The three tribes need time to emerge from the Stone Marrow Realm! We must face that person first and delay until the Clan Leader of the three tribes arrives!

Remember! If you run out of Fear, you're surely dead! Only by quelling your Fear and facing him directly, playing along in this act with me, can we have a chance to survive!"

Being afraid ensures death, facing him leads to survival...

Fear that person and you're certain to die, face him to live.

If you're scared of him, you'll definitely die; only by facing Leon can you survive!!!

Reciting this several times in his heart, Dongya finally gathered courage for the first time, completely breaking through the Fear-induced injuries on his soul, and followed the "script," gripping the "unconscious" black-haired woman, then clenched his fists and shouted:

"I'm not scared! I'm not afraid of him at all!"

"Who?"

"Leon! I'm not afraid of Leon!"

"You're afraid of me?"

"I'm not afraid... oh crap!"

Watching Leon emerge from the rubble of the fractured mantle with an astonished expression, Dongya's grip on the black-haired woman's neck instinctively tightened, almost snapping Xuebei's neck.

Locking eyes with those confused dark eyes, Dongya shuddered as if plunged into an icy cavern. Then, with a flash of insight, he picked up the black-haired woman, widened his eyes, and shouted:

"Can't you guys stay away!"

"???

"No... I mean, you can't come over! Don't come any closer!"

Forcing himself to suppress the crazily quivering soul, with tongue and teeth chattering, Dongya, while holding the black-haired woman, took half a step back toward the edge of the Molten Magma Pool leading to the Stone Marrow Realm, straining his trembling tongue to threateningly shout:

"If you take another step forward, I'll toss her in!"

"..."

Aren't you here for comedy?

Watching "Xuebei" clutching a black-haired woman threateningly commanding him not to approach, Leon couldn't help but feel a toothache.

To say nothing of who this woman is, there were obviously two of you earlier, but now there's suddenly one less, and mysteriously a woman appears... isn't this clearly suspicious?

Could you at least conjure another illusion, turning two into three, claim this woman was fished from the Magma River, just to deceive us a bit? You're too...

Hmm... wait a moment!

Staring at the black-haired woman in "Xuebei's" hands, finding no "snowflake marks" on her and no "color difference" from a False Illusion Skin, Leon's brows slightly furrowed.

This woman... is real? Without any disguise?
