• Lian Luo reflected that news of his strength had spread, leaving him unable to keep killing Universe Overlords freely, and decided to wait for Universe Masters to attack him.

• Lian Luo decided that the four enemies' attacks gave him a reason to retaliate and prepared to leave.

Lian Luo resisted four Universe Masters from the Demon, Mechanical, and Bug races while trying to escape, and Lord of Chaos City arrived to help.
