Luo Di stared at the Gate of Demon Ascension before him, feeling the abyss he was in. The strange spatial disturbance reminded him of a scene from his memories.

"Seam?"

The strange words spoken by Luo Di caused the white-haired girl to tilt her head slightly.

"What rift? This is subspace... The [door] has already been built! The information is wrong... We must find a way to leave here! Standing in front of the door, we have no chance of winning."

Regardless of the method used, we must leave this subspace.

We just got here by 'falling'. Try to find a wall and climb up; maybe that will allow us to leave.

The white-haired girl quickly looked around at her surroundings.

Strangely, the previously boundless, pitch-black abyss now had an edge. A wall riddled with rat holes was about a hundred meters away, and it seemed that all it took was climbing up to leave.

It's clearly very incongruous.

The Girl, however, appeared incredibly determined.

She used brute force to stir up the mud and move across as quickly as possible.

Upon seeing the Gate of Demon Ascension, she abandoned her plan to fight head-on, and a "rift" appeared deep within her seemingly indestructible body.

Squeak squeak squeak~

A series of Rat Sound came from behind.

This time, however, the voice came from within, not from outside.

Beneath the white-haired girl's skin, one could see obvious bulges and wriggling movements; a rat's tail even peeked out from between her eye sockets before retracting.

The wall she wanted to touch, the wall she wanted to climb, the wall she wanted to escape from the abyss, remained forever out of her reach... This wall always seemed to maintain the same distance from her.

She gradually began to exhaust herself.

Her body eventually sank, submerged in filth.

As the mud submerged her body, some liquid flowed into the steel tube inserted into her neck, obstructing her basic respiratory system and invading her body.

This life-threatening danger seems to have activated a special restriction within the Girl's body.

On Luo Di's side.

He just felt that the current space was like a crevice, but upon closer inspection, he found that there were more things there.

This abyss is indeed a separate space.

However, what constructed this place was not four Pseudo-Human, but the [Gate of Demon Ascension] standing not far in front, a gate that did not belong to him.

Luo Di felt no fear, but rather excitement at seeing the Gate of Demon Ascension for the first time.

He had just embarked on the path to the "Gate of Demon Ascension," and had no idea what the gate was, what it looked like, or how to reach it.

Now they can even see other people's doors in advance.

Such experience will be invaluable for future demon ascension.

Even though the current space is constantly squeezing Luo Di, this "intruder",

Even though the filthy mud beneath him provided a pungent odor,

Even though the "door" in front of them, made up of countless the Devil corpses, continued to exert mental pressure.

Luo Di showed no fear, even though the white-haired girl beside him had disappeared and he was the only one walking alone.

Instead of running away, he moved his body and swam towards the shore, actively approaching the door.

He wanted to observe the so-called "Gate of Demon Ascension" up close, to explore the specific situation behind the gate, and to glimpse the higher-level scenery in advance.

A certain ambition and desire are constantly being stirred up in this process.

Even the corpses on the Gate of Demon Ascension began to beckon to him.

Tap tap tap!

The soles of their shoes sank deeper and deeper into the sticky mud.

The tightly closed door slowly opened as Luo Di arrived.

The light and shadow seeping through the crack in the door seemed to be exactly what Luo Di was looking for.

He knew perfectly well that this wasn't his door, yet he still wanted to explore it and try to pass through.

All attention was drawn to the door.

Unbeknownst to Luo Di, a hidden entity also quietly surfaced in the mud and followed him ashore.

Eight thick, dark rat tails spread out on its back like wings, swaying and wriggling.

Each rat tail is covered with a dense layer of Brain Tissue, constantly releasing some kind of spiritual influence.

His body floated in the air, silently drifting behind Luo Di.

Those green eyes were sizing up the young man from another world, and even felt that the young man's "quality" was better than that of the Girl in the convent.

If used to complete the Gate of Demon Ascension, it can make the scenery behind the gate even more spectacular.

But he wasn't in a hurry.

He was waiting for the gray-haired youth in front of him to sink even deeper. If possible, it would be best to let the other party actively touch the Gate of Demon Ascension and be absorbed by the gate in a living state, so as to achieve the best effect.

The rat's tail swayed.

He was almost touching Luo Di's back.

Fingers with cerebral grooves floated beside Luo Di, soothing all the sensory cells in his body, even forcing his spine to cool down and enter a closed state.

Slowly,

Driven by ambition, Luo Di draws ever closer to the Gate of Demon Ascension.

The mysterious entity clinging to their back also revealed a pure white smile, anticipating the upcoming living fusion.

10 meters

5 meters

3 meters

1 meter.

The door is right in front of you.

Because the door gap was too small, Luo Di had to reach out and push the door open to get inside.

Driven by desire, he slowly raised his arm, his strong and powerful hand about to touch the door.

Despair!

A crisp and loud snapping sound rang out, echoing not only in Luo Di's skull but also spreading into the special space at that moment.

Upon hearing this voice, the followers were immediately alarmed and wanted to retreat.

Bass!

The moonlight, brimming with murderous intent, flashed by.

All the rats in the abyss seemed to see the moon at that moment.

A gray, spherical moon.

What followed was a swift and powerful slash!

Click!

The moonlight swept across a structure that was extremely sturdy and vital.

A the Devil horn with patterns similar to a rat's tail was severed and held in Luo Di's hand.

"Hmm? He wasn't beheaded... That was fast."

The mask woven from tentacles was already on Luo Di's face.

The strike he just delivered was executed flawlessly, representing his full power. It was launched the instant his tongue flicked out, without the slightest pause.

Unexpectedly, the opponent dodged it, and only one corner was cut off.

Looking up,

The target had already jumped back dozens of meters away and was about to fall back into the filthy mud.

Of course, Luo Di also saw the opponent's specific form.

This is a slender, pure black the Devil.

Eight tails sway behind it, serving both to disrupt the mind and to aid in movement.

His face resembled that of a human, or rather, in Luo Di's mind, he was "human," like a cunning and malnourished black man with disheveled hair falling over his shoulders.

His upper body was unclothed, and his flesh was covered with small holes, like rat holes in a wall. Sometimes you could see rat heads sticking out of these holes, sometimes you could see hairs wriggling inside, and sometimes newborn offspring were being produced inside.

His lower body was covered by a cloth skirt printed with strange runes.

His outstretched arms were also covered in hellish runes, and all six fingers had brain groove patterns.

One of the two Demon Horn that grew on his forehead was completely severed, causing him a fundamental injury, and black, hairy blood seeped from the corner of his eye.

Luo Di was very dissatisfied with the matter of "severing the Demon Horn".

But the other party finds it unacceptable and unbelievable.

The two differ greatly in rank.

He was on the verge of becoming a demon, just one step away from perfecting the [Gate]. But the young man before him, no matter how you looked at him, had only just embarked on the path of demonic ascension.

"How did he do that...? Why was he able to break through my act? Why does the mask on his face make me feel afraid?"

This guy's strange, I can't rush him! I need to slowly devour him, savoring him carefully! I was too hasty just now.

He planned to retreat back into the mire and use his real skills against the gray-haired youth before him.

Just as he was focusing all his attention on this strange young man,

A burst of bubbles rose to the surface of the water beneath me... Whoosh!

Suddenly, a vertical iron rod rose up, aimed precisely at his genitals!

Vertically through.

The iron rod was driven into the Devil's backyard and then pierced through its mouth.

Waves of pain, associated with being struck and crushed, quickly spread throughout his body, preventing him from dismantling himself and transforming into a swarm of rats or filth.

There were no screams.

He actually managed to suppress the pain through sheer willpower, and tried to pull his body out of the iron bars using the strength of his rat tail and arms.

He cannot be killed as long as he can return to the filth.

but...

Buzz!

The sound of a chainsaw echoed through the air.

It was a voice he had never heard before, and it carried with it an extreme sense of danger.

The moment I heard the sound,

The rapidly spinning Metal Spine was already in front of him.

The Gray Mask covered in tentacles was now face to face with him.

I don't know why.

He seemed to see the moon.

The moon, riddled with craters, lay before him, accompanied by the sound of cutting through its surface.

Sizzle!

The surface of the pig-slaughtering knife was somehow covered with a layer of metal serrations, which could rotate at high speed like a spine.

The metallic sheen reflected from the serrated edges had the same gray hue as the mask.

It landed on the neck.

Severing it along with consciousness!
