Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Thunder Breath (Full Subscription Requested)
The Spider Queen’s massive body was violently pulled by the spatial fluctuations, her face etched with terror as she was drawn into the Disc World.
It was still the same place, the same feeling—the Disc World, a realm poles apart from any other.
Lu Luo was standing right in the center of the disc!
The difference from last time, however, was that now, a considerable number of Exotic Species were surrounding the periphery of the Disc World.
These Exotic Species were all ones Lu Luo had previously killed, specimens from his S-07 Specimen Room.
However, they seemed unable to cross the disc and reach the corner where the Spider Queen currently was; they could only stand on the periphery and watch helplessly.
The Spider Queen looked around at her surroundings uneasily.
As an Exotic Species, being away from her own territory naturally made her feel anxious.
Moreover, she couldn’t remain as calm and composed as the old Priest Wu En had once been while standing inside the Disc World.
This was because although Wu En was amazed by the power and uniqueness of the Doomsday Disc, as a Believer, Wu En had experienced the Dawn Disc.
The Dawn Disc and the Doomsday Disc were quite similar, so Wu En could maintain a good state of mind here.
He even experienced a new surge of combat desire, wanting to seize the Doomsday Disc and kill Lu Luo.
But the Spider Queen could do none of these things.
Looking at the void-like world around her and the illusory disc under her feet, the Spider Queen was utterly bewildered.
She felt that the master she worshipped had abandoned her.
"The Ghost Manor was personally chosen by my master. How could you possibly take me away from there?"
Because the Doomsday Disc is awesome, what else?
Lu Luo was feeling somewhat smug, but he didn’t plan to show it. Under the Enhancement of the Doomsday Disc, the Devourer was already continuously absorbing the Spider Queen’s power.
[The Doomsday Disc has devoured the Spider Queen’s Life Energy. You have gained 1 point of energy.]
[The Doomsday Disc has devoured the Spider Queen’s Sequence Force. You have gained 1 point of Sequence Value.]
[The Doomsday Disc has devoured some of the opponent’s Dark Energy. You have obtained a portion of Dark Energy.]
He had also been somewhat shocked by the previous situation; the spatial level set by the Ghost Manor was actually on par with the Fusioner.
This meant that the setting of the Ghost Manor game, or rather the entire amusement park game, was at a Grade S Sequence level.
Only under such conditions would the Fusioner’s attempt to strip away space be halted.
From this, Lu Luo also roughly deduced that the Sequence Ability level of the game master was Grade S.
In other words, the Sequence Force contained within Eighth Order Exotic Species like Noah and the Nightmare Demon was inherently Grade S, which explained their immense power.
Fortunately, the disc was powerful enough; "Above Sequence" wasn’t just an empty boast—the original Grade S rules were shattered instantly.
Since the Spider Queen had questions, he would naturally answer them "slowly."
"To explain this, we need to start from the ancient era, from the creation of heaven and earth... (Here, 3,000 words are omitted).
To summarize, basically, your master isn’t as formidable as I am, which is why you ended up here.
And in this place, I’m omnipotent!"
"Omnipotent? Do you think you’re a god?"
"Pretty much!"
[The Observer is analyzing the target’s information.]
[Target: Ghost Spider Queen, Fifth Tier Lord, Animal Species.
Attributes: Constitution 150, Agility 150, Strength 240.
Abilities: Intense Poison, Charm, Spider Silk.
Sequence C-Sturdiness, Sequence C-Agility.
Sequence B-136 Soul Puppet: Through contact with the Spider Queen, the target is gradually controlled by her soul silk and becomes her puppet, serving the Spider Queen.
Weakness 1: Aversion to fire is a common vulnerability for spiders, and the Spider Queen is no exception.
Weakness 2: While its legs are its most resilient parts, they are also its only non-regenerative parts.
Overall Evaluation: A robust and formidable Lord in her prime, well-balanced in offense and defense, and possessing extremely strong control techniques, with almost no apparent weaknesses.
But it’s hard to imagine that the core of a Spider Queen lies in its eight legs.]
"Well, let me see just how ’omnipotent’ you are in this place!"
The Spider Queen had just thought of moving when Lu Luo acted even faster than her.
A massive chain materialized in Lu Luo’s hand out of thin air, along with a huge, light-forged greatsword.
In the Disc World, all of Lu Luo’s abilities were not only unrestricted but became even stronger.
This time, he was facing a true Fifth Tier Exotic Species, the Spider Queen!
He had to go all out.
Mist began to spread around Lu Luo incessantly, quickly concealing his figure.
However, the Spider Queen paid no mind to such deception; she had spider senses. Even if she couldn’t see Lu Luo’s body, it wouldn’t hinder her ability to perceive his location.
"Trying to poison me? Don’t you know that intense poison is one of my abilities?"
"Of course I know. But I also know that if you use a venomous snake’s venom to poison a venomous snake, the venomous snake will be poisoned to death by the venomous snake’s venom."
"What? A tongue twister?"
Chains thicker than an arm suddenly burst out from the mist, accurately trapping one of the Spider Queen’s legs.
The Spider Queen immediately reacted. Her legs, harder than steel, severed the chains with a slash.
She violently spat out a black energy beam, precisely hitting Lu Luo, who was hidden in the mist.
BOOM!
Still not dead?
The fierce explosion instantly shattered half of Lu Luo’s body, but this tactic of absorbing the first wave of damage was something Lu Luo had already anticipated.
[Fusioner has been activated, repairing the host’s injuries. Due to being in the Doomsday Disc state, this repair only requires 10% energy.]
Lu Luo’s half-body quickly regenerated, and the mist continued to spread.
Steam, third gear!
THUMP!
The Spider Queen was somewhat shocked by the strong heartbeat. She felt that Lu Luo’s strength had suddenly increased by a large margin.
This increase in strength was even more than double—how is this possible?
Another four chains appeared, but these four energy chains were not emitted by Lu Luo from within the mist.
They were generated by the Doomsday Disc from the space above and below.
Lu Luo could extend the Fusioner’s power to any corner of the Disc, and these four chains were his own fused creations.
The chains entwined around four of the Spider Queen’s legs.
And, of course, the Spider Queen intended to rid herself of these annoying chains!
As she slashed at the chains, Lu Luo suddenly emerged from the mist, and the real attack arrived!
DING!
Her long leg blocked Lu Luo’s sword blade, but Lu Luo suddenly chuckled, and a strand of wire extended from the chain on that leg.
Lu Luo pulled on the wire, his body suddenly whipping around, and he landed on the Spider Queen, chopping down with his sword.
SPLAT! Fluid splattered!
However, Lu Luo had greatly underestimated the consequences of making close-range eye contact with the Spider Queen’s Twisting Eyes.
Before he could even pull out his greatsword, his consciousness could no longer resist the power of the Twisting Eyes, and he vomited.
BLARGH!
The exaggerated vomiting left Lu Luo wide open. The Spider Queen bared her fangs and bit towards Lu Luo’s chest.
The venomous fangs sank into the area of his heart, and copious amounts of venom were injected into Lu Luo’s chest cavity.
[You have suffered a violent piercing attack. You have received a heavy blow.]
[A large amount of toxin is entering your body.]
[Your poison resistance has reduced some of the toxin damage. Your Constitution has reduced some of the toxin damage.]
[Your Toughness Effect has reduced 29% of the toxin damage. Your final toxin damage value: -9.]
[You are immune to the effects of the toxin damage. Your poison resistance has increased.]
[Fusioner has been activated, repairing the host’s injuries. Due to being in the Doomsday Disc state, this repair only requires 10% energy.]
The ferocity of this strike would have killed an ordinary person outright, but the Lu Luo before her just wouldn’t die.
Even as the Spider Queen was biting him, he gritted his teeth and gouged out two of her eyeballs.
"AHH!"
The Spider Queen could no longer tolerate it and was about to tear Lu Luo in half, but Lu Luo had already regained some of his mobility.
You think you’re the Hunter, but the truth is, the moment you came to this place, you became the prey.
While the Spider Queen attacked him, Lu Luo created even more chains!
Another four chains flew toward the Spider Queen. This time, eight sturdy chains firmly bound each of the Spider Queen’s legs.
Although the Spider Queen’s strength was incredible and her power outrageous, it was no match for the sheer amount of energy Lu Luo had at his disposal here!
Eight Gates Chain Array, bind her!
Lu Luo pulled the steel wire, completely indifferent to the spider’s fangs still embedded in his body. He forcefully tore off a large chunk of flesh, bone included, from his chest, breaking free from the spider’s grasp.
Swiftly twisting his body along the wire, he moved beneath the Spider Queen, as another sword formed in his hand.
White lightning began to spread across Lu Luo’s eyeballs, the corners of his mouth, his hair, and along the blade of the sword.
If there was any technique most suitable for complementing and enhancing lightning, it was definitely the Sword Heart’s third technique, Sky Sever Slash.
He infused the White Snake’s lightning into the high-frequency vibrating Qi He, transforming it into Sword Qi as thin as a cicada’s wing, shimmering with electric light.
"Ha!~"
Exhaling a long breath of Thunder Breath, Lu Luo suddenly opened his eyes.
Sword Heart third technique, Sky Sever-Lightning.
This move epitomized sharpness to the extreme, maximizing the cutting force of lightning.
As the two complemented each other, they naturally possessed the potential to slice through anything, like the eight spider legs before him.
SWISH!
The dazzling white lightning formed a circular white ring that, with blue-white intersecting currents, easily pierced through the Spider Queen’s eight long legs.
SPLAT! A large amount of insect fluid sprayed out from the points of impact.
The eight spider legs snapped off!
"AH!"
Her spider legs were her core; though her toughest weapons, they were also the only part of the Spider Queen that could not regenerate.
After losing her legs, the Spider Queen screamed miserably, completely losing control over her body.
Lu Luo paused only briefly. The Fusioner acted again, and more chains extended from the disc, binding the Spider Queen one by one.
By now, the Spider Queen’s power was insufficient to contend with Lu Luo’s endless chains.
She was hoisted up by Lu Luo, suspended in mid-air.
If her spider legs were still connected to her body, no matter how many times Lu Luo killed the Spider Queen, she could potentially resurrect and regenerate.
But now, without her spider legs, he only needed to kill her once!
In the Disc World, Lu Luo released his Qi He and energy at will.
He discarded one sword and raised the other high, his gaze slightly focused.
"The sword cuts the flesh; the heart cuts the soul."
Sword Heart fourth technique, Soul Sunder Strike.
SWISH!
The brilliant Sword Qi pierced through the Spider Queen’s body. The pulling force of the chains finally tore the Fifth Tier Lord apart.
The Soul Sunder Strike, imbued with Lu Luo’s personal will, not only shattered her body but also her soul.
Thanks to the Enhancement effect of the Disc World, Lu Luo had finally killed a Fifth Tier Lord by himself.
Although the Observer provided intelligence and the Fusioner offered unrestricted merging and wound repair, this was a victory Lu Luo achieved on his own—a truly memorable moment.
[You have solo-killed a Fifth Tier Lord-level Exotic Species. The host has finally risen to the occasion!]
"Devour it. Stop the chatter; I’m busy."
Within the Disc World, the Devourer’s efficiency increased exponentially; even a Fifth Tier Lord wouldn’t take long.
[You have devoured the Fifth Tier Ghost Spider Queen. You obtained 5,900 energy points.]
[You obtained 45 Sequence Value points.]
[You have obtained the Ghost Spider Queen’s Doomsday Factor.]
I’m out of here!
Having looted everything, Lu Luo went straight to the center of the disc, touched it, and extracted himself.
「...」
Thankfully, his return point was still the manor. The sky above it was no longer blood-red but had reverted to the blackness of night.
However, the clouds were gone now. The time was around 4 a.m., just before dawn.
Bright moonlight spilled over the manor, lending a hint of vitality to what was once a place of horror.
The Ghost Gem had shattered completely, but its fragments were still considered treasures.
Lu Luo, carrying the fragments, found the accountant and stuffed all the treasures back into her hands.
"Alright, the next thing to do is wait for dawn," he said.
The accountant looked at Lu Luo with a complex expression. Had he resolved that terrifying presence that caused the heavens and earth to change color? That level... it must have been a legendary Lord-level Exotic Species, right? He even has a way to kill Lord-level Exotic Species? This man is simply too strong!
"Housekeeper, sir."
"What’s up?"
"Nothing, nothing at all."
At this point, the accountant was finally certain that Lu Luo wouldn’t kill her. She also understood that Lu Luo intended to use her identity and abilities to farm Tokens.
Though it sounded a bit like exploiting loopholes, the prerequisite for doing so was to first discover the loophole and then possess the strength to exploit it.
The time finally came. As a player, the accountant was summoned first.
She looked at Lu Luo and quickly emphasized, "When I get back, I’ll definitely present the Tokens with both hands."
Lu Luo smiled and nodded. She’s teachable.
Soon, he too received a prompt from the Game Master.
[You have incinerated the bodies of 7 players. Game task complete.]
[Given that you’ve found some loopholes in the game’s rules, the Game Master can turn a blind eye. However, he wishes to meet you in person. Please be prepared.]
Huh? What are you guys up to?
The prompt didn’t give Lu Luo much time to prepare. Before he could finish his thought, his body was dragged into another space.
A rather quaint, old-fashioned courtyard? The kind with a strong rural atmosphere!
Lu Luo walked inside and finally saw the master of the place.
This Noah wasn’t what Lu Luo had imagined—not a mechanical core or some large quantum computer.
Instead, it was a... robot, wearing clothes and a straw hat?
[Noah - King of Smart Machines, Eighth Order Calamity. Attributes: Unknown. Abilities: Unknown. Race: Unknown.]
Lu Luo had seen an Eighth Order Exotic Species before—the Nightmare Demon.
Setting aside everything else, although the Nightmare Demon was a horse, its entirely black body and hooves wreathed in Netherflame definitely gave it an impressive aura of grandeur.
However, Noah’s current appearance was just that of an ordinary robot, a rustic-looking one at that, with no distinctive features whatsoever.
"Care for some coffee?" Noah asked, lifting the coffee pot in his hand.
"Ah? Sure."
After a moment of surprise, Lu Luo agreed.
How should he describe the feeling Noah gave him? It was one of utter calm, a stark contrast to the madness and malevolence that emanated from the Nightmare Demon.
Such tranquility, as if he had everything under absolute control.
"Your performance was splendid. And once again, you’ve discovered loopholes in my game.
It’s been many years since anyone found a loophole in my game. Truly remarkable."
Of course. You don’t know who you’re talking to. The number one detective on the national server isn’t just an empty boast.
Wait a second... you’re saying it’s been many years since someone found a loophole in your game?
If I interpret that differently, does it mean your game has been running for many years?
So, the question is: if the game has been operational for many years, who are the players? Where are they?
