The system's inner world was a chaotic storm of a million mythical creatures.
Outside, Ming Li, hefting a massive iron hammer, had already reached the ground floor of Ferrad Zerol's residence.
Perched atop the thick trunk of a tree outside the opulent palace stood a girl wielding a giant iron hammer. The wind whipped her long hair, creating an utterly surreal spectacle.
At that moment, Ferrad Zerol, who was savoring a cup of delicious blood, felt his right eyelid twitch violently.
Ferrad Zerol frowned, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over him. Looking at the fresh blood in his hand, his appetite vanished instantly.
Before Ferrad Zerol could even set down his cup, a colossal iron hammer hurtled towards him.
Sensing the anomaly, Ferrad Zerol leaped backward, narrowly dodging the flying hammer.
"Who is it! Don't play games here..."
The word "ghost" caught in Ferrad Zerol's throat, unable to be uttered. For at that very moment, his head was covered by a black sack.
While Ferrad Zerol was bewildered, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck. His eyes rolled back, and he promptly fainted.
Ming Li, her expressionless face betraying nothing, carried the sack into the system space.
The system detected a fluctuation in the space and panicked, frantically grabbing its backup phone to call the main system.
Finally, after much effort, the main system responded.
The system breathed a sigh of relief, feeling utterly drained, and collapsed onto the ground.
The main system, looking at the completely black screen, was filled with questions. It asked, "System 008, why did you go black?"
The system twitched its lips. Why did it go black? Of course, it was locked in the 'dark room' by its insane host. Did it even need to ask?
Shaking off its thoughts, the system quickly said, "Main system, something terrible has happened!"
The main system: "Go on, what is it? What's the big deal that you had to summon me?"
The system swallowed, suddenly missing its chicken legs. Wait! Now wasn't the time for such thoughts!
"Main system, it's bad! My host is about to kill the male lead of this world! You need to stop her! Otherwise, this world will collapse!"
The main system, appearing nonchalant, replied, "Just killing the male lead, what's the big deal... What?! Killing the male lead?!" The main system choked on its own saliva halfway through its sentence, its eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. It stared at the system in shock, asking for confirmation, "Are you saying that demon is going to kill the world's male lead?!"
The system nodded frantically, "Yes, main system, if you're any later, you might not even see the male lead's ashes..."
The main system: "......"
Hearing this, the main system, terrified, quickly opened a teleportation portal and arrived in the system's space.
The moment it stepped through the portal, the main system was stunned by the scene before it! Its jaw dropped. Recovering its senses, it quickly shouted to intervene, "Wait! Great one, hold your hammer!"
Ming Li frowned, turning her gaze impatiently towards the main system that had appeared in the system space. Her voice was chillingly cold, "What do you want?"
The main system: "......" That's what I should be asking! Damn it! This is insane! If it had arrived even a moment later, wouldn't the male lead have been finished?
Ahhh! Stuck with such an unmanageable host, it wished it could just die.
The main system took a deep breath and said, "Gre... Great one, how about we put the hammer down and talk things over properly?"
Ming Li's face was impassive. She didn't speak, but her eyes clearly conveyed her refusal.
