Although Han Dong was not clear why the traveler and the Yellow Robe King personally arrived,
the sight before him shocked him even more,
though Han Dong had left his homeland early and taught in Italy, he was still familiar with mah-jong... Even some teachers or students who loved Chinese culture were engaging in mah-jong for entertainment.
The traveler, who won the game with great odds, was beaming with a smile, with numerous tentacles swaying in the air from his back,
naturally noticing Han Dong emerging from the Pool of Origin Interval.
"Nicholas, you finally came up~ We’ve been waiting for you for quite some time."
"How did the seniors come here?"
"Your aura was instantly cut off, even the ’Faceless Skull’ felt nothing, so how could we not come to check?
Finding you at the bottom of the Pool of Origin, in a special evolutionary state, I was relieved.
It so happened that there were four of us here, all having some exposure and interest in human culture.
Under my proposal, we began a gambling game called ’Trinitarian Thirteen Array High-order Strategic Game’.
Unexpectedly, we played for a full six months... It wasn’t a waste of time, as it allowed for a warm-up before the [Ultimate Game], after all, the gambling here can only be considered as an appetizer, the subsequent games are truly millennial feasts."
Han Dong was taken aback by the time problem mentioned by the traveler,
"What! I stayed at the bottom of the pool for a full six months?!"
At this time, it was the ’Fiend Ancestor’ who just lost the card game who responded, his voice still coming through the bubbling in the Pool of Origin Interval:
"To complete [Incubation] in such a short time, you’ve done quite well... My ’Lotus Transformation’ back then took a total of 630 years."
Han Dong noticed that, although the Fiend Ancestor lost the card game, his expression leaned towards happiness.
Being permanently confined here, such entertainment was an extreme luxury for him... Even if he lost everything, he was still willing.
"Six months! How is the situation over there with the Out of Control... Has the game not started yet?"
The traveler slightly waved his hand, "No need to worry, the entire process is monitored by Big You. If the game begins, he will certainly notify the entire world, all right, next round, let’s continue!"
The traveler’s eyes glimmered with distinctive interest, he himself possessed the nature of a gambler, especially relishing the taste of victory in gambling.
Moreover, the three gambling guests at today’s table were quite special and novel.
Han Dong then also thought of his own little companion, "By the way, where is Kite?"
This time the question was answered by Walter,
"I have reached a ’cooperative cultivation’ with the ancestor, Kite has learned related traits in the Whirlpool and can express them... Subsequently, he will follow me to the Black Tower for special training.
Of course, due to his extreme instability, he needs to wear a Prince (Jack) level containment device during the journey to the Black Tower."
"Hmm, that sounds good! Just right, I still need to return to the Black Tower, let’s go together later."
"Hmm, let’s play two more rounds, I need to recoup some costs..."
Since the seniors were all keen on the gambling game,
Han Dong might as well take the opportunity to rest in place and fully feel the changes in his body.
The sudden span of six months left him astonished, estimating that the Out of Control’s devouring of the Subsuper World was nearly complete, the Ultimate Game was about to arrive.
Another few hours passed.
W. Walter patted his forehead, the whole person slumped in the seat, exhaling black whirlpool-like smoke rings from his mouth,
although no sunlight shone into the Source Cave, he always felt the light somewhat glaring.
The treasures and materials he brought out this time were almost entirely lost, nearly losing the ’Black Vortex Heart Method’, fortunately, reason prevailed, ending this gambling game.
The traveler directly won three in a row, acquiring a bunch of rare treasures, even including a yellow underwear-shaped silk ribbon.
With the end of the card game, a gray mist directly enveloped the traveler’s entire body, smiling as he withdrew from this area.
The Yellow Robe King also secretly took out a small notebook, unknown if to record or hold grudges... then glanced, upon seeing the lotus mark branded deep in its soul, dissipated and left.
The Fiend Ancestor in the Lotus Room instructed:
"Kite’s matter, please take care of it for me~ Remember, no matter what happens, you must ensure Kite’s survival."
The black vortex swept everyone away,
in the next second they had directly fallen onto the surface of the Watcher’s Planet.
Knowing that Kite would go to the Black Tower, Han Dong, during the recent mah-jong game, asked the Swollen Doctor to utilize recent research on source liquid to create an almost perfect "Ghoul Skin".
Kite had successfully worn it, which would significantly enhance his stability.
This journey in the "First Forbidden Area", although filled with some bizarre memories and many life-threatening critical moments, ultimately gained far more than expected.
Han Dong not only reached new heights on the Pseudo-King Road, but also obtained a [Origin Vortex] attribute more suited to himself.
"Thank you, Walter, for fighting for such an opportunity for me."
Han Dong knelt on one knee, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.
"Such an opportunity is practically a ’dead end’ for almost all lives... Your ability to turn it into something of your own is your own skill, and it also satisfied my curiosity.
After going back, I will have a good talk with Mento about your belonging issue.
By the way, why are you still following back to the Black Tower? Since it has been determined the final showdown will fall on S-01, why not recuperate well here and adapt to the newly acquired vortex system."
"Goodman’s lower half is still in the Black Tower, this thing is very important to me."
[Black Tower - Special Transmission Detection Station]
The highest level of danger indicator instantly lit up, even Mr. An received the information immediately.
However, the danger was lifted in the next second.
Because Walter Sulliven was among those arriving.
The primary monitoring duty, E. Examiner Edgar, was also present at the first moment, watching Kite with a strange gaze.
Walter’s hand settled smoothly on Edgar’s shoulder, gently patting, "Rest assured, the stability of this Demon is completely under my responsibility, any problems I’ll bear the consequences."
"Hmm." Hearing Walter give such a guarantee, Edgar did not question anything further. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel·fıre·net
Walter was actually also very curious about this incorrect existence even among Demons, what kind of Out of Control Index it could have, quietly asking:
"Edgar, can you estimate this guy’s ’Out of Control Index’ with the naked eye?"
"According to the Prince (Jack) standard, it cannot be tested at all.
All indexes far exceed the maximum limit, even many out of control indicators are inapplicable to him..."
At this point, Edgar suddenly changed the conversation to telepathy: 『Walter, I’m quite interested in this Demon, can you arrange a private examination for me? The test results will not be made public, how about that?』
『Sure, I have only one condition... Share the test results fully with me.』
