Douluo Continent: God Descends

Chapter 32 The Unreliable '0-01'

"Damn it, how come a Soul King-level evil Soul Master suddenly showed up at our door? And who the hell is this 'Master'?!"

Lu Xingchen huddled in the corner, shielding the twins behind him, his eyes warily fixed on the Grim Reaper in the Awakening Room.

He had sensed that the other party was extraordinary the moment he saw him, but he never expected that he would be an evil soul king.

Earlier, when the Spirit Master blasted through the skeleton soldiers' blockade and roared for everyone to break through, Lu Xingchen almost instinctively grabbed the twins and hid in a corner.

He knew better than anyone that, given the way evil spirit masters operated, they would never leave such an obvious flaw.

Sure enough, the screams outside the door confirmed his guess—this was a pre-arranged trap, and the other party never intended for anyone to leave alive.

"What kind of nonsense is this!"

Sitting at home, trouble fell from the sky; Lu Xingchen felt utterly unlucky.

"Looks like we have no choice but to give it our all."

He glanced at the Gemini, who were visibly startled and bewildered, and immediately began to silently pray in his heart, "All-powerful Creator..."

Frankly speaking, entering a prayer state like this in battle is tantamount to suicide, because when his consciousness sinks into the sea of ​​chaos, time in the outside world continues to flow normally.

To outsiders, Lu Xingchen's act of immersing his consciousness into the Chaos Sea appeared as if he were simply standing there in a daze.

He wouldn't want to do this if the situation weren't urgent.

"Take out all the useful sealed items."

As Lu Xingchen's consciousness quickly returned, several strange items appeared in his hands out of thin air. Because he was huddled in a corner, not many people noticed this scene.

Of course, even if you notice it, it doesn't matter, because to outsiders, Lu Xingchen's act of conjuring things out of thin air would at most look like he has a storage soul tool in his hand.

Lu Xingchen put on the '0-02' lens and looked at the Grim Reaper. In an instant, a series of data flowed across the lens:

Name: Death Messenger.

Martial Soul: Necromancer.

Level: Level 52 Control-type Battle Soul King.

Soul Ring Configuration: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Purple.

Additional note: A special energy aura was detected on the head and chest of the Grim Reaper, which are suspected to be parts of the head and chest armor.

(PS: A humble suggestion from Little Tower: The Grim Reaper is currently far stronger than the Omniscient and Omnipotent One, so fighting him is not recommended. If a battle is unavoidable, try to exploit the properties of the sealed artifacts to create weaknesses and break the deadlock through unconventional means.)

"Battle armor components?"

Lu Xingchen's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart sank instantly.

The level 52 Soul King is already an insurmountable gap, but now the opponent is actually half a Battle Armor Master! Even just the head and chest armor parts are enough to increase his defensive capabilities several times over.

Just as he was frowning in thought, a slight tremor suddenly came from his fingertips.

Lu Xingchen looked down and saw the silver quill pen—the sealed artifact "0-01 Writer's Pen"—floating in his palm, the pen shaft trembling slightly. A clear mental message entered his mind, its tone carrying a hint of urgency and flattery:

"Great Creator, why do you hesitate? Simply use your power to command me, and I have many ways to make that arrogant evil spirit master die on the spot!"

Lu Xingchen's heart stirred, but he didn't speak. Instead, he responded with his mental power: "Tell me, what method do you have to deal with him?"

'0-01' trembled slightly, and a spiritual thought emanated once more: "As long as you write 'Meteor Shower' now, I can immediately pull down a meteor from space for you and crush this evil spirit master to death."

Summoning a meteor? Given '0-01's' ability to rewrite reality, it seems normal that it could summon a meteor.

Lu Xingchen asked, "Are you sure you can summon a meteor to kill him? What if he dodges it?"

'0-01' quickly replied, "Great Creator, please rest assured, I will bring down a meteorite big enough to flatten the entire Tianhai Orphanage. With this evil soul master's abilities, he definitely won't be able to escape."

"Of course, I can also guarantee that you will definitely survive the explosion, although you may suffer some minor injuries."

Lu Xingchen: "...What about the others?"

'0-01': "My power is limited; at most, I can only protect the Creator, and that's all I can do."

Lu Xingchen fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Besides using a meteorite drop as a last resort, are there any other methods?"

He was never a pedantic person. If things really got to the point of emergency, he wouldn't mind destroying the Tianhai Orphanage. That way, at least the Grim Reaper would be buried with the other children.

However, it would be even better if there were other methods.

'0-01' continued to propose new solutions: 'I can create an earthquake to crack open the Tianhai Orphanage... or trigger a localized thunderstorm to...'

It listed seven or eight options, but upon closer listening, they were all essentially the same as "meteor shower"—all of them used the power of nature to cause natural disasters and eliminate evil spirit masters in a way that caused widespread destruction, but at the cost of sacrificing everyone in the orphanage.

Lu Xingchen asked helplessly, "Isn't there a safer method? For example... could we arrange for a Title Douluo to happen to appear here?"

"Or perhaps a Title Douluo who cultivates spatial power accidentally triggered spatial fluctuations during cultivation and was unexpectedly teleported here? With a Title Douluo taking action, dealing with a Soul King-level evil Soul Master shouldn't be a problem."

This is the most ideal solution he can think of right now—to use external forces without sacrificing innocent people or taking too much risk.

'0-01' said, 'Theoretically, it's possible. But the problem is that the Creator's current mental strength is insufficient to accurately pinpoint the coordinates and soul fluctuations of the 'Title Douluo' target. Forcing this method would have extremely high uncertainty.'

"To be specific, I can write something like 'Spatial anomaly, powerful being descends,' but what is ultimately transmitted could be a righteous Title Douluo, or it could be an equally ruthless evil soul master."

It could even be a 100,000-year-old soul beast transported from the Star Dou Great Forest or elsewhere. The risks are equally uncontrollable.

"Then let's forget about it." Lu Xingchen shook his head helplessly upon hearing this.

Ultimately, it was because his own strength was too weak to fully control these powerful sealed objects.

The risk of random teleportation is too high; one wrong step could lead to utter ruin. Rather than gambling on that slim probability, it's better to use "meteorite drop" as a safety net, at least giving you some control.
