Loomworld Descends!

Earth-001, Loomworld.

The sky here is always a gloomy, leaden gray, and the air is filled with a heavy stench of blood and the smell of rusty metal.

Outside the magnificent Gothic castle lies a desolate plain of black soil.

At this moment, thousands of monsters were densely packed on the plain. They resembled wolves, but had the compound eyes and segmented limbs of spiders, and saliva dripped from between their sharp fangs, corroding the ground.

These are the "hunting dogs" kept by the Inheritors, specifically used to track and tear apart prey.

At the head of the hound army stood a man and a woman, Inheritors dressed in magnificent vintage attire. They were the family's twin siblings— Brix and Bora —notorious for their cruel nature.

"Father is making a mountain out of a molehill." Brix toyed with a bone dagger in his hand, his eyes filled with disdain. "Just a human and a Ghost-Spider, and you've made us send out all our hunting dogs."

"That idiot Daemos got crippled because he underestimated his enemy, and now he blames the enemy for being too strong." Bora covered her mouth and giggled. "Once those two show up, I'm going to personally drain that girl's totem dry."

Buzz--!

As soon as the two finished speaking, the leaden clouds above the black soil plain suddenly seemed to be forcibly torn apart by some enormous force.

A beam of eerie green light crashed down in the center of the plain.

A strong wind swept through, and hundreds of hunting dogs in the vicinity were blown away by the gust of wind.

The light faded.

Jiang Li held Gwen's hand and stood steadily on the black soil.

"The air quality is terrible, it smells worse than the sewers in New York." Jiang Li glanced at the densely packed monsters around him and frowned slightly.

Gwen wore a hood, and although the number of monsters in front of her was terrifying, her heartbeat remained unusually steady with Jiang Li standing beside her.

"They're here!"

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Brix's eyes. Without a word, he swung his dagger.

"Hounds, tear them apart!"

Roar--!

Thousands of mutated spider hounds roared deafeningly, rushing towards Jiang Li and Gwen from all directions like a black tsunami.

Stand behind me.

Jiang Li released Gwen's hand and took a step forward.

Faced with the overwhelming tide of beasts, he didn't even bother to warm up; he simply pressed the dial with his left thumb.

"Your family likes to drink blood, right?"

Buzz!

The dazzling green light instantly engulfed Jiang Li's body.

In the blink of an eye, a two-meter-tall crystalline alien, its entire body composed of translucent, high-density, pale blue Tydium, appeared on the spot.

His body reflected a cold light, and his hands transformed into extremely sharp crystalline blades.

Galvan System, Petrosapien.

Diamondhead!

"I'll let you smoke your fill today."

Jiang Li's cold voice, carrying a crystalline resonance, rang out.

The next second, he suddenly raised his arms and plunged the two crystal blades into the black earth beneath his feet.

Boom--!!!

The earth trembled violently.

Centered on Jiang Li, the ground within a radius of several hundred meters suddenly cracked open. Countless thick, extremely sharp, azure-blue crystalline spikes sprouted from the earth like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

The thousands of mutated hounds that were pouncing in mid-air didn't even have time to yelp before they were all pierced by these indestructible crystal spikes and nailed to the ground like candied hawthorns.

Sold out instantly.

With just one move, the entire army was wiped out.

The plain fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, with only the cold light refracted by the crystals remaining.

"This... how is this possible?" Brix's contempt froze completely.

"That's some kind of magical creation?!" Bora's eyes widened; she had never seen such a hard substance that could change shape at will.

But the arrogance of the Inheritors prevented them from backing down.

"No matter what you are, if you're alive, you must die!"

With a roar, Brix unleashed his immense physical strength, transforming into a blur as he charged directly toward Jiang Li.

He moved with incredible speed, appearing in front of Jiang Li in an instant. A pale hand gripped Jiang Li's crystalline shoulder tightly, its palm glowing red as it unleashed the most lethal Life-Force Drain!

The draining power of the Inheritors can even turn a god into a dried-up corpse.

However.

A second passed.

The red light in Brix's palm flickered a few times before going out.

"What... what are you smoking?"

Jiang Li turned his head slightly, his crystalline face expressionless, but the mockery in his tone was as sharp as a knife.

"Are you crazy?"

Brix was completely dumbfounded. He felt as if his proud ability to absorb energy was being pressed against a lifeless, dead rock.

No blood. No Soul Stone. No totem energy.

The Diamondhead is a pure inorganic silicon-based life form. The Inheritors becomes a complete joke in front of Jiang Li.

"Can't get it out? Let me help you."

Jiang Li grabbed Brix's neck with his other hand. His high-density Tydium fingers acted like hydraulic clamps, instantly making Brix's neck bones crack.

"Let go of my brother!"

Upon seeing this, Bora screamed and rushed forward, opening her mouth full of fangs and frantically biting at Jiang Li's arm, attempting to inject paralyzing toxins with her venomous fangs.

Click!

It was accompanied by an extremely crisp cracking sound.

Bora covered her mouth and staggered back several steps, howling in pain. Three of her fangs, which could easily bite through alloy, snapped the moment they bit into Jiang Li's arm.

"That's really unhygienic."

Jiang Li gave Bora a cold glance.

He clenched his right fist, and his crystalline arm instantly transformed into a massive hammer, slamming into Bora's chest with a piercing whistling sound.

Boom!

Bora was struck dumb; her sternum caved in instantly, and she was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing through several thick crystalline spikes before falling to the ground like a dead dog.

Jiang Li turned his head and looked at Brix was still struggling desperately in his hands.

"People in your family are all so stubborn, but their teeth seem to be a bit weak."

Jiang Li slammed Brix to the ground like he was throwing away trash.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Li raised his crystal right foot and mercilessly crushed Brix's legs. A shrill scream echoed across the plain.

After dealing with the twins, Jiang Li didn't even glance at them again.

He deactivated his transformation and reverted to his appearance as the young man in black.

Gwen stepped over the shards of crystal scattered on the ground, looking at the two Inheritors groaning on the ground without a trace of sympathy in her eyes.

Jiang Li raised his head, his gaze passing over the mess on the ground, and locking onto the gloomy and magnificent Gothic castle a few hundred meters away.

"Solus! Morlun!"

Jiang Li's voice wasn't loud, but amplified by his immense power, it sounded like rolling thunder, shattering the castle's glass.

Jiang Li had his hands in his trench coat pockets, his eyes icy.

"Get out here now!"
