Shattering the Seed, Ascending to Demon

One day ago,

After spending four days and four nights in the Abyss of Slaughter, killing a total of fifteen low-level monsters, Luo Di was carried back to the rest area of True Death Game by the four sisters.

His body was already exhausted; it was his bloodlust that kept him going.

[Pituitary Space]

The threshold base constructed by zombies has been erected.

Despite appearing unconscious in the outside world, Luo Di's mind was far from restful. He had transformed into a construction worker, assembling corpses one by one, turning the spoils of these days of fighting into the door he had always been pursuing.

These were all monsters that Luo Di killed with his own hands.

We have already gained a deep understanding of their abilities and physical structure through actual combat, and we have roughly envisioned where to place them.

However, when actually building it up, there are still many details that need to be considered.

Luo Di was completely absorbed in building the door and forgot about the time, until an unguarded consciousness descended upon the place.

"Luo Di ~ The final level is in an hour... Wow! Is the door already set up? Do you want to start advancing now? Is there not enough time?"

No, it's not finished yet. This door seems to be missing something.

The squad leader took a step forward and touched the surface of the door.

Her perception of the body allowed her to clearly sense its imperfections. Although the door was basically intact, it was not a complete unit, and there were certain gaps between all the corpses.

"What's missing?"

"Door handle," responded Luo Di, who was sitting not far away, already half asleep.

This answer made Wu Wen even more confused.

"Door handle?"

I feel like the whole door isn't quite complete... Are you planning to use the Door handle as the core, and once that structure is installed, the whole door will be complete?

This is no easy task; it requires a high-quality corpse, comparable in quality to the zombies used as a threshold.

However, the monsters that make it to the final stage will certainly be formidable; we'll just have to see how the rules are arranged then.

However... this death challenge is equally important to me.

Wu Wen's words went unanswered; Luo Di had already fallen asleep, and this level of sleep at a conscious level indicated that he was completely exhausted.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep~ See you in the finals."

Just as Wu Wen was about to leave the Pituitary Space to let Luo Di rest, she suddenly realized something and looked again at the "Gate of Demon Ascension" built using monster corpses.

"Could it be..."

She stretched out her arm and inserted it where the Door handle should be.

As expected, it fits perfectly!

Haha~ A burst of laughter echoed in the Pituitary Space.

Wu Wen burst into laughter. Instead of leaving, she moved to Luo Di's side and rested his head on her lap.

Streams of pure physical essence flowed from his fingertips into Luo Di's body, restoring the physical damage he had suffered over the past four days.

"If you can really do it, I'd be willing to be your ' Door handle '... but as things stand, you're not good enough yet."

"Luo Di, you have a long way to go, there's no need to rush. Let me go up first, then I'll pull you up."

Wu Wen gently kissed his forehead, waking him up ten minutes before the show started.

Let's go back to the present.

It is also the Pituitary Space.

Completely engrossed in a killing spree, with bloodstains and bone fragments still stained at the corners of his mouth, Luo Di slowly snapped out of his killing spree when he saw the corpse lying in front of him, his face becoming calm.

It was clearly just the corpse of a strange blonde girl.

But in Luo Di's eyes, Wu Wen's name was etched, and he even felt that the corpse itself was smiling at him.

"Sorry, class monitor... I also have to win. Whether it's the clown's coercion or my own personal needs, I must advance as soon as possible; my time is very limited."

I'm sorry I ate you again.

Thank you for letting me eat it.

Luo Di's actions were not caused by provocation, but by his own preconceived notions; he had already made his plans when he met the class monitor.

Having once consumed the class monitor's pituitary gland, he already possessed some of the class monitor's attributes.

To construct the crucial "Gate of Demon Ascension," a high-grade, perfect core material capable of controlling all corpses is required.

A class monitor who is skilled in physical matters is an excellent choice.

When the class monitor appeared with a counterpart who was almost identical to the original, Luo Di had already made his decision. Since the two had met alone in the final level, Luo Di would no longer consider their feelings for each other.

after all,

Before meeting her, Luo Di had already asked the class monitor whether the death of the clone would lead to the death of the main body. Since her answer was no, he could proceed with the plan without worry.

It wasn't just the class monitor who refused to open the envelope; both of them did so simultaneously.

Snap!

He grabbed the corpse's ankle.

They were dragged toward the "Gate of Demon Ascension".

The imperfect door had already left a perfectly fitting gap for the squad leader, so he could simply stuff the corpse into it without any adjustments.

Two fair and soft hands extend from either side of the door, serving as "Door handle".

Everything is ready, and there are no flaws.

The moment has finally arrived; Luo Di has waited far too long.

At this moment, the two systems from different worlds will advance simultaneously, moving together to the next stage and achieving a higher level of unity of opposites.

Crack! The Old Spine seemed to sense the approaching moment, its joints twisting and making sounds.

Huff... Take a deep breath.

Luo Di retreated to the very edge of the Pituitary Space, intending to stride confidently toward the door. But upon further thought, he bent his cervical spine slightly forward and shifted his center of gravity forward.

He walked forward with the air of a murderer, as if he were about to commit some kind of killing.

Inside the Gate of Demon Ascension

It was as if one could hear the powerful sounds of hell echoing through the air.

The corpses that made up the door seemed to be terrified of Luo Di's arrival, emitting screams of pain as victims.

Arriving at the door,

Hold the hand that belongs to the class monitor.

At this moment, it was as if the class monitor was with him, holding his hand and ascending to the demon realm together.

Push open the door, Passing through the Gate... whoosh!

A loud tinnitus sound came through.

In the blink of an eye,

Spatial changes,

This is no longer the Pituitary Space.

Luo Di stood on the moon.

The door that should have been behind them had also disappeared.

Lonely, deserted, gray, deep space.

There was no crack where Luo Di stood; there was only a huge crater.

He plunged into the pit.

Slide down to the very bottom of the pit.

Reaching down, they dug into the already softened soil, and a corpse's hand emerged—it was the blonde girl's hand.

As they continued digging, more arms... or rather, more corpses were exposed.

All the Pseudo-Human, monsters, and villains that Luo Di killed as a "murderer," as well as a whole series of "victims," are buried here.

One more and one less.

A special, bone-like root has connected these corpses together... or rather, the corpses are connected by a spine.

This is a form of expression for hell.

Hell is the root, and a sprout belonging to a corner is about to appear.

Click!

The blonde girl lying on top had her jaw loose, and something was growing out of her mouth.

A plant.

A plant that represents advancement.

A plant that signifies the fear of the Corner System.

The energy that had been saturated in the pituitary gland was released.

Because of its accumulated strength, the new shoots grew rapidly, reaching more than ten centimeters in length before finally stopping, far exceeding the growth of those monstrous new shoots that had just reached the corners.

"This is... my sprout?"

The plants that grew were not what Luo Di had imagined.

It is neither Spinal Structure,

It's not metal wire either.

There is no Brain Structure.

It also lacks a distinct tentacles shape.

It was just an ordinary-looking tree bud, except that the bud was entirely dark gray, without any other colors.

So ordinary, yet so special.

Even if it's just a newly sprouted bud,

Luo Di could also feel a power completely different from what he had felt before churning within his body, and even his very essence began to change.

They transcend human limits, yet are fundamentally different from monsters.

If you want to address,

That is the [demon].

The waiting area of True Death Game.

The surveillance camera was focused on Luo Di, who had "finished eating." He was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with thick, dark gray aura rising around him.

The arm that the squad leader had severed grew back like a new sprout, perfectly intact, and a leather glove was even put on as the hand formed.

The Old Spine, which had been protruding outwards, converged back into the flesh, returning to its most primitive form, and was concealed by the coat.

The jet-black coat fit his current body perfectly.

The collar stood up straight due to the breath.

He suddenly opened his cloudy eyes and stood up... He didn't know if it was the angle, but he felt that Luo Di's figure had become taller than before.

We made our way to the next room before the Countdown ended.

The audience in the waiting area also noticed a strange phenomenon: the surveillance footage of Luo Di was different from the other footage.

The difference in texture

The other footage is clearly captured in real-time by a high-definition camera.

On the other hand, the visuals on Luo Di's side have a cinematic feel from the 80s and 90s, and the camera angles frequently change, sometimes even deliberately amplifying footsteps.

It looks like we're really watching a movie.

Just as the audience was engrossed in watching and marveling at how Luo Di was able to advance in the final level, one audience member vomited, even vomiting flower stamens all over the floor.

Hua Yuan stared fiercely at Wu Wen, who was not far away beside him.

"Hey! If you two want to flirt, can't you go to a hotel... Don't do this in public, it's disgusting. I took Luo Di to the Abyss of Slaughter to replenish most of the corpses, and in the end you still got the benefit."

You deserve to die, Wu Wen!

Suppress the feeling of weakness in your body.

Wu Wen maintained her usual smile, moved to Hua Yuan's side, leaned down and gently kissed his cheek, whispering sweet nothings into his mind.

"Thank you, Sister Hua..."
