Kroos: "..."

Looking at Chen Ran, whose size was many times larger than hers,

Kroos did not roll his eyes and rush over, nor did he show any fear or trepidation. Instead, he immediately put his hands together and prayed devoutly.

Instead, Kroos simply widened its little eyes and barked at Chen Ran, "Woof!"

Kroos had no idea what Primal Originium were, nor did he know what Anana was.

As a silly dog, she didn't even know what the word 'god' meant.

Even when she saw Chen Ran, who was many times larger than her, Kroos's first reaction was nothing more than, "Wow! You're so big! How many meals do you eat a day?"

But it's like tricking a dog into taking medicine.

The dog 'accidentally' dropped the medicine on the ground, and upon seeing this, it slid over and ate it in one bite.

Although the dog sensed something was wrong the moment it tasted it, its owner's anxious cries of "Oh no, you can't eat this!" prevented it from eating it.

The dog will still think, "If you won't let me eat it, then it must be something good. Whatever falls on the ground is mine!" Regardless of the taste, it will eat it as soon as possible.

The same applies to Kroos now. She genuinely doesn't know what Primal Originium is, but with so many people blocking her way, Kroos feels that it must be something good.

Didn't you see that even a 'person' as big as Chen Ran is trying to take her away?

So Kroos barked and started guarding its food.

But Kroos forgot that the Primal Originium, Anan, was in her mouth.

She opened her mouth and barked "Woof!" and the Primal Originium, Anan, fell right out of her mouth.

Kroos hurriedly tried to grab it with his hands and feet, but he was too late. He could only watch with his little mouth agape as the Primal Originium, Anana, fell down.

Fortunately, Chen Ran reached out with his other hand and caught the falling Primal Originium, Anana.

"It's all your drool, you stupid dog."

Chen Ran pinched the Primal Originium, Anana, between his fingertips, feeling its hardness and noticing the wet saliva on it.

Without looking closely, he reached out and returned the Primal Originium, Anana, to Kroos.

Without much thought, Kroos opened its little mouth and bit the Primal Originium Anana again, then barked and began to guard its food.

But as I said before, when you're weak enough, even when you're angry, you're still adorable.

So Chen Ran wasn't annoyed by this, he just smiled and said, "You food-grubbing dog, you haven't told me yet. I can grant you one wish. Have you thought about what you want?"

Power? Money? Immortality? Or status?

Upon hearing this, Kroos blinked his small eyes, looked at Chen Ran with a hint of disbelief, and then guessed, "A wish? Any wish is allowed?"

"It will be all right."

"Then... then I want Honey Cake! Lots and lots of Honey Cake! Honey Cake that I can never finish eating!"

Chapter 338 Wishdale: Little Rabbit, if you don't work harder, you'll be behind the dogs in line!

Honey Cake.

It can be considered a snack or dessert.

Kroos's true form is Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell. In ancient Greek mythology, it was the gatekeeper of hell, preventing the souls of the dead from leaving.

Therefore, the ancient Greeks had a tradition of placing a Honey Cake in the coffin of the deceased to appease Cerberus and prevent it from harming the body.

As for why only one Honey Cake was used instead of more?

It's because Cerberus has three heads and was only given one piece of Honey Cake. The three heads fought over who should eat the Honey Cake, and had no time to care about the dead or the dead.

Well... that's pretty much in line with this silly dog's personality.

Since Honey Cake are Kroos's favorite food, it's quite reasonable for her to wish for an endless supply of Honey Cake...

"Never mind, I just feel like laughing."

Chen Ran laughed for a while before grabbing Kroos by the back of the neck and placing her on the table.

At the same time, he stretched out his hand towards Kroos: "Give me that stone in your mouth, and then I'll go prepare Honey Cake for you."

"Really?" Kroos asked skeptically. "Don't think I'm stupid and easy to fool, okay?"

"Really, it's just a broken rock. Why would I lie to you?"

"Really? Really?"

"Really, really."

"Really, really, really—"

Are you trying to create nested dolls here?

In the end, Kroos opened its little mouth and spat the Primal Originium Anana into Chen Ran's palm.

"So much drool." Chen Ran took a tissue, wiped his mouth casually, and then said, "Silly dog, close your eyes now, count to ten, and when I say 'okay,' open your eyes and you'll see the Honey Cake."

"You're not going to lie to me, are you?"

Even so, Kroos actually closed his eyes and began counting. "1...2...3..."

Seeing this, Chen Ran wiped the Originium in his hand and left the living room to go to the kitchen to prepare Honey Cake for the silly dog.

When Chen Ran returned, he found that Kroos was still there with her eyes closed. "Are you still there? I've counted several times already, you know? Hmm... Ceobe won't be fooled, so let's count one more time, 1...2...3..."

When Chen Ran placed the pile of Honey Cake, which was half a meter high, on a plate on the table,

The sweet, cloying smell had already been detected by Kroos's nose.

It was obvious that Kroos swallowed hard, and his whole body leaned forward toward the Honey Cake.

Even so, Kroos still followed the rules of the game and counted with his eyes closed.

After Kroos finished counting again, she wagged her tail happily, as if waiting for Chen Ran to say "It's done" so she could see lots and lots of Honey Cake.

However, Chen Ran deliberately misbehaved and remained silent.

As a result, Kroos's tail drooped down and its ears tucked in, to the point that it was visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, after laughing for a while, Chen Ran spoke up and said, "Alright, silly dog, open your eyes."

"Ceobe is Ceobe, not a stupid dog."

Despite saying that, Kroos still quickly opened his little eyes.

She immediately spotted someone much taller than her, so tall that Kroos had to tilt her head back, almost falling to the Kroos.

Kroos then wagged its tail wildly and pointed at the Honey Cake, saying, "These are all mine?"

"Right."

"Are they all really mine?"

"Yes."

"Really, really—"

"Are you setting up nesting dolls here again?"

"Yay!"

Kroos finally couldn't resist and pounced on it, stuffing large mouthfuls into its mouth.

The Kroos is only 18cm in size, while the stacked Honey Cake are a full half meter high.

In addition, the supply was unlimited, so after eating for half a day, the amount of Kroos Honey Cake hadn't decreased much, and Kroos's little belly had actually bulged into a small ball.

It looks soft and fluffy; I wonder what it feels like to poke it.

With this thought in mind, Chen Ran observed the silly dog eating.

But this clearly Kroos to misunderstand something.

Kroos's mouth was full of honey. She glanced at Chen Ran, then at the Honey Cake tower.

After thinking for Kroos reached out and broke off a small piece, handing it to Chen Ran: "Do you want some?"

"No need, I've already said, these are all yours."

Actually, Chen Ran is thinking right now,

If he were to swallow the entire Honey Cake tower in one bite right now,

Will that silly dog Kroos look like the sky has fallen and bark at him incessantly?

"Hahahahaha—"

Originium Outbreak Worldline.

Wishdale, who was standing on the deck of Rhodes Island, suddenly burst into laughter.

This caused the Terra natives, who were still in a state of piety, prayer, or remorse due to the appearance of a god, to subconsciously turn their heads and look over.

Although the natives of Terra dared not say much because of Wishdale's status as a 'Divine Messenger,' they were indeed curious about what Wishdale was laughing about.

However, it was discovered that a pure halo had inexplicably appeared on the broken Black Crown atop Wishdale's head.

As the halo flashed, Wishdale reached out and put his arm around the Demon King Rabbit beside him. "Your brother, didn't he capture that stupid dog Kroos? Then your brother asked, 'Young dog, I can grant you one wish,' and guess what Kroos wished for?"

This isn't making a wish on Aladdin's lamp; that's making a wish on a deity.

These words naturally aroused the curiosity of the surrounding Terra natives.

Power? Money? Immortality? Or status?

That's a deity, right? It can grant any wish, right?

But to everyone's surprise, Wishdale laughed even harder, "That stupid dog Kroos wished for an endless supply of Honey Cake! Hahahaha—"

Everyone: "..."

Wishdale was so happy she almost cried. After laughing, she said, "Tsk tsk tsk, so innocent, just like a child. Your brother really likes this silly dog. I bet he'll have to keep it as a pet someday. Little Rabbit, don't blame me for not warning you."

Wishdale's original intention was actually to discuss Chen Ran's XP.

With a large bust, fleshy legs, and Kroos has an unexpectedly great figure, but her personality is as innocent as a child's, which is probably quite to Chen Ran's liking.

So if this Demon King Rabbit doesn't work harder, it'll probably end up behind the dog in the rankings.

But these words were interpreted completely differently by the natives of Terra.

They felt that Wishdale was mocking them, saying that the Lord God wouldn't even bother to look at them, given their filthy thoughts and impure motives.

Chapter 339 Little Rabbit, are you in such a hurry? You're waiting for the figurine as soon as you get back?

Previously, the Doctor had indeed been very open and honest, revealing the truth about the 'Originium Outbreak' and the 'future of the world' to everyone.

Everyone had unconditional trust in the Doctor and naturally believed in her.

However, it was all just hearsay and too far-fetched to be true. No matter how much people imagined it, they could not effectively reconstruct the whole story.

Until just now, the god finally appeared in the world, even though it was only an arm. But those beings that they could not understand shattered their worldview.

Everyone was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

It wasn't until someone knelt down and prayed that they were brought back to their senses.

Although the crowd wasn't as enthusiastic as Horya, their gazes eventually swept over the Demon King Rabbit and Wishdale before finally settling on the Doctor.

"Precise, look, I didn't lie to you. That gentleman is the 'god' I told you about."

The Doctor turned to look at him, his tone not agitated, as if he were simply stating a fact.

Meanwhile, Precise was staring intently at the direction the giant hand had gone, muttering something about the law of conservation of energy and calculating the size of the hand.

When the Doctor spoke to her, Precise turned to look at him and said, "I believe you, Prophet, I will always believe you."

That's why Precise ignored Kal'tsit, who sneaked up to him with the intention of kidnapping the Doctor.

As the Doctor said earlier, with the gods present in the world, all past grudges and grievances become meaningless.

But for what...?

Terra is nothing but a wild and untamed land, lacking resources and technologically backward. Even the local natives are nothing more than a group of uncivilized little animals.
