The Observer's Colleague

It was still scorched earth, the sky was eternally dark, like a huge curtain pressing down on us, the air was filled with the smell of burning, and with every breath we could feel that decay seeping into our lungs.

Su Luo looked Four Directions.

This is a battlefield.

Or rather, it is a graveyard of Gods.

Huge skeletons lay scattered across the land, some as majestic as mountains, others as towering as towers. The skeletons were all different in shape.

Some were as large as mountains, others were Giants, and their bones still retained a faint glow, proof that Divine Power did not dissipate even after death.

There were also Devil -like skeletons, but their aura was insignificant compared to the surrounding creatures.

The Tower banished him again, this time even further, throwing him directly into the Era Fragment when the Gods fell.

Further away, the outline of a huge building can be seen.

It was Tower, but completely different from Tower I had seen before.

It was free from Corruption and Desolation Plague, radiating a holy golden light, its spire piercing the sky as if leading to another world.

That was the Tower before it was Corrosion by the Desolation Plague, the true "Eternal Guidance" from when the Gods were still alive.

Su Luo dusted herself off, looked at the Blood Moon, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual.

Su Luo shifted her gaze from the bewildered Blood Moon and looked around.

Iron Guard, Jingjing, Machine Fortress, and Observer — Four-Colored Puppets scattered across the scorched earth—are struggling to get up, as if they were born unsuited to this place.

Su Luo began searching her surroundings for something.

The last time, the Iron Guard's past was banished, the BOSS was the [Demon Doppelganger], the Era Fragment was the Burn village, and the one used to deal with Su Luo was the Devil.

This time, the boss is related to the Observer, and the Era Fragment represent the fall of the Gods... So, what is the purpose of these Era Fragment to resolve the situation for everyone?

In the distance, a figure is approaching.

That was a snail.

Or rather, it was a humanoid creature with the soft structure of a snail, entirely blue, wearing a purple robe, approaching slowly but actually quickly, holding a pocket watch in its hand.

Su Luo immediately looked at the Observer, because the pattern on her purple clothes was exactly the same as that on the Snailman.

What is your relationship with it?

"... Colleague." The Observer closed her eyes and recalled for a moment; everything around her seemed to awaken her memories.

"We are all... Observers, witnessing everything in the Eternal Night Court, maintaining the world's stability..."

"At this time... the gods fell, and we accepted the power left behind by them to begin maintaining the stability of the world."

The Snailman had approached. It stopped and raised its head, revealing a mass of soft tissue, to the Observer.

"But in reality, we haven't accomplished anything." It spoke slowly, as if each word lingered in the air before reaching your ears, "You haven't accomplished anything."

The Observer raised her staff. The residual power of the surrounding creatures' bones began to converge on her, and faint glimmers of light rose from the skeletons, transforming into wisps of energy that flowed into her body.

She has already made her move.

The Snailman watched her actions but did not stop her.

"You are already dead Corruption," the Observer said. "Now you are nothing more than a puppet of the Tower."

"Aren't you also a puppet of the Giant Whale?" the Snailman replied.

The pocket watch in his hand chimed softly.

"Click."

The sound was very soft, but the moment it landed, the whole world changed.

The flow of time has been slowed down.

It's much, much slower.

Time-Slowing Field.

The Snailman's pocket watch can slow down the flow of time in the surrounding area.

The Snailman slowly extended its tentacles; the movement didn't appear slow in the Time-Slowing Field because it was unaffected.

The tentacles slowly reached out towards the Observer, piercing through the shield she had just gathered, through her purple robes, and through her chest.

Then give it a gentle flick.

The Observer's body flew out like a rag doll, crashing onto scorched earth dozens of meters away, where it remained motionless.

The Snailman retracted its tentacles and slowly turned to the others. Its gaze swept over Iron Guard, Jingjing, and Machine Fortress, finally settling on Su Luo and Blood Moon.

"After the fall of the Gods, only a few remain as my match. But you are not among them."

It paused, then added, "Especially you, damn colleague."

This statement is addressed to the Observer. Even though the Observer is lying motionless on the ground, it still speaks.

"Why do you have the favor of the Gods? Why can you Blasphemy repeatedly without punishment?"

No one answered.

The Snailman sighed, then started walking towards the Observer again.

"Oh? Where did you get this pocket watch?"

Upon hearing this, the Snailman looked over and saw Su Luo holding the defenseless Blood Moon in her hand, standing Jingjing watching it.

Su Luo was a discerning person. Having played with the Dreamscape's time flow for so long, she could tell that the Snailman had directly altered the Dream World itself, changing the time flow in this area.

That pocket watch was just for easy opening and closing. Su Luo herself had a watch engraved with the sun, moon, Stars in her Dreamscape, but she didn't need it and left it for Xiao Luo to use.

"Relic of the God of Time."

The Snailman answered Su Luo very frankly, confirming that Su Luo's actions were affected by the flow of time, and then walked back to the Observers.

Clearly, he wanted to get rid of that damned colleague first, and then deal with everyone else.

God of Time?

It must be the person who previously managed the time flow of the massive Dreamscape, the [Eternal Night Court].

Su Luo looked down at the Blood Moon. It was powerless now, suppressed by the rules of the Dreamscape, and could only let Su Luo do as she pleased.

Do you want to live?

"What are you babbling about?" His voice came from the depths of the mist, each word drawn out in an eerie, drawn-out tone by the Time-Slowing Field, "Mud... are... shrinking... god...?"

Both being in the same Time-Slowing Field, Su Luo spoke at an explosive speed to save time, but the Blood Moon, which had been reduced to a pulp, clearly couldn't catch Su Luo's rapid speech.

Su Luo remained silent, focusing solely on entering Blood Moon's body.

It was a strange entity that was a mixture of matter and spirit, without flesh and blood, without bones, only a constantly churning crimson mist, and a miniature blood-red moon deep within the mist.

In the distance, the energy of the fallen Gods, primarily Mana, is silently converging here.

"I'll help you regain your strength, but there's a small limitation."
