Background and History

Bai Chen was an ordinary college student before he fell on a dormitory staircase and transmigrated to the Demon Continent. He began as a powerless ball of shadow and survived in the Dark Forest by devouring Slimes. Over a year, he raised his tentacle ability to S-Rank and became the Slime Forest’s overlord 1 34.

Jiang Ruoxue summoned him at the Underground City’s awakening ceremony, but rejected him because of his Slime appearance. After taking the Cold Moon Fox summoned by Lin Luoluo, Jiang gave Bai Chen to her. Bai Chen accepted Lin’s invitation by writing “Yes” on her palm and chose an equal contract with her rather than a master-servant bond 1 2 3.

Lin publicly described him as a C-Rank Mutant Slime to conceal his unusual abilities and protect him from suspicion. Bai Chen later asked her to maintain that explanation and credit her talent for their assessment result 5 28.

Appearance

Bai Chen commonly takes the form of a black, jelly-like Slime. He can also reshape his body to carry Lin Luoluo or become her throne 1 25 27.

• Slime form: Short, round and soot-black, unlike the transparent ordinary Slimes described by onlookers 1.
• Tentacles: Extends thick black tentacles for movement, combat and handling objects 3 7 9.
• Throne form: Becomes a pitch-black throne with coiling tentacles and flowing golden energy patterns; part of his body also forms Lin’s dress 25.
• True form: His Devouring Demon God form is separate from his Slime form; Bai Chen considers it too frightening to show a child 9.

Personality

Bai Chen values companionship and came to the human world partly because he was lonely on the Demon Continent. He chose Lin Luoluo despite her disability and circumstances, treating her as an equal and encouraging her ambitions 1 2 3.

He is protective of the Lin sisters but ruthless toward threats. He describes himself as someone who repays grievances twofold, and he kills attackers sent after Lin Luoluo. At the same time, he is cautious about exposing his true identity and abilities 3 12 28 41.

Abilities and Skills

Devour

As a Devouring Demon God, Bai Chen can acquire abilities from Devil Creatures and use Source Crystals to improve abilities he already possesses 1 13.

• Repeatedly devouring Slimes raised his tentacle ability to S-Rank 1.
• Consuming a Source Crystal as nourishment raised Hard Skin’s progress, rather than granting its contained ability 13.
• He can also gain experience by killing Devil Creatures or slowly absorbing ambient energy; scarce energy in the Lower City limits the latter 11.

Shadow Tentacles

Bai Chen’s S-Rank Shadow Tentacles, also called Shadow Touch, began as a Slime-derived ability. He initially regarded it as better suited to control and practical use than pure offense 1 3 4.

• Catches, carries and shields Lin Luoluo; he can also propel them rapidly across the ground 3 7.
• Binds, strikes and crushes enemies, or forms defensive barriers 3 36 40.
• Can be combined with ice or Hard Skin to improve its combat power 11 13.

Moon Ice Domain

An S-Rank ability that creates extreme cold around Bai Chen. He unlocked it using the Devour reward from his contract with Lin Luoluo 3 4.

• Creates frost, ice spikes and walls; enemies inside suffer slowing and frost damage 4.
• Coats his body or tentacles in ice, improving hardness and piercing power 4.
• Its control depends on mental strength. Bai Chen regards its recognizable appearance as a risk when used publicly 4 12.

Hard Skin

A D-Rank defensive ability acquired from the Shatterrock Hound’s Source Crystal. It consumes energy to form a rock-textured protective layer 12 13.

• Can be combined with Shadow Tentacles for combat 13.
• Bai Chen used hardened tentacles to help crush the Crystal Scorpion King and later defended against the Cold Moon Fox’s ice crystals 26 46.

Tentacle Throne

An S-Rank Life Skill comprehended by Lin Luoluo and synchronized with Bai Chen. It transforms him into a throne that fits together with her 25.

• Doubles the release speed of moves with a casting windup and triples attack power 25.
• Places no fixed upper limit on tentacle length or diameter; their maximum size depends on the master’s Star Energy reserves 25.
• Links their minds in throne form, allowing Lin to direct Bai Chen’s abilities. Bai Chen can also activate the skill independently 25 36.
• When Lin’s Star Energy was nearly depleted, Bai Chen maintained the form using his own reserves 39.

Profound Ice Burst

An S-Rank ice-element Life Skill comprehended by Lin Luoluo and used by Bai Chen 39.

• For three minutes, attacks deal additional frost damage, apply freezing and slow the target 39.
• Can be ended early to detonate the accumulated freeze marks for double ice-element damage 39 41.

Relationships

• Lin Luoluo — His equal contract partner. They protect one another, and she helps conceal his true strength 3 5 28.
• Lin Chuchu — Lin Luoluo’s younger sister, who initially feared him but came to welcome him as family. Bai Chen later sought a Contract Spirit to help with her worsening illness 9 34.
• Jiang Ruoxue — His original summoner and an adversary. She rejected him, attempted to reclaim him after his contract with Lin, and repeatedly targeted the pair 1 3 11.
• Liu De — The town chief who accepted the Mutant Slime explanation and defended Lin against dangerous rumors. He later realized Bai Chen was stronger than he had assumed 5 32.
• Kalina — Fought Bai Chen and Lin Luoluo in the Forest Grotto. After losing, she honored her promise to give Lin Netherworld Grass and invited her to join a competition team 36 37.
• Pink Mutant Slime — A loyal Space-attribute Slime who became Bai Chen’s second-in-command in the Slime Forest 34.

Story Role and Major Arcs

Awakening and Contract

After Jiang Ruoxue rejected Bai Chen and took Lin Luoluo’s Cold Moon Fox, Lin contracted with him. When Jiang ordered the fox to kill him, Bai Chen caught the falling Lin with his tentacles and knocked the fox into a trash can 1 2 3.

Bai Chen later intercepted two Jiang Family men sent to kill Lin. He destroyed their Contract Spirits and used Moon Ice Domain against the Stingtail Scorpion’s poison attack 11 12.

Contract Spirit Master Assessment

Bai Chen carried Lin through the South Mountain Third Mine Cave assessment, killing Demons along their route. Although the Crystal Scorpion King pierced his body, Lin awakened Tentacle Throne, and together they defeated it. She completed the assessment with an SSS-Rank rating 20 24 25 26.

Afterward, Jiang Family pressure drove Mining Team captains away from recruiting Lin. Bai Chen stopped Liu De from confronting the family, inadvertently revealing enough strength for the mayor to reconsider his assumptions about the Slime 31 32.

Forest Grotto

When Lin Chuchu’s illness worsened, Bai Chen and Lin Luoluo entered the Forest Grotto to seek a Contract Spirit that might help her. There, they defeated Kalina and obtained Netherworld Grass 34 36 37.

They also fought two Jiang Family Contract Spirit Masters. After Lin’s Profound Ice Burst helped defeat their Contract Spirits, she ordered Bai Chen to kill the men when they threatened her family 39 40 41.

Rematch with Jiang Ruoxue

In a later encounter, Jiang Ruoxue challenged Lin Luoluo. Bai Chen blocked the Cold Moon Fox’s attacks, activated Throne Form against her A-Rank Ice Blade Slash, and trapped the fleeing fox in a cage of tentacles. A subsequent tentacle slap sent Jiang Ruoxue flying and left her unconscious 45 46 47 48.
