Under the Explosion Tunnel …
It was a heaven-shaking battle that shook the heavens.
Facing the demonic head, Lu Te faced the enemy calmly without any fear.
Between the two of them, there was an unstoppable force.
Thankfully, their battle was under the Explosion Tunnel. With this space-time gap, most of the rampaging energy would flow toward the other dimension. If not for that, half of the city would have been destroyed by them already.
"Looks like it's about time …" Lu Te said darkly after clashing with the demonic head for the umpteenth time. "You have less than six percent of your power left. It's time to give up …"
"Humph … You can tell something like that?" The demonic head's tone was as arrogant as ever.
At first glance, his condition was no different from when the battle started. The dark energy was still dancing around his body, and the fighting spirit in his four demonic eyes was even stronger than before.
But in the eyes of the Anomaly, it was a different world …
"Your power has indeed exceeded my initial estimation," Lu Te said. "But … it's still within the revised value."
Lu Te's current appearance was different from before. She had abandoned the appearance of a normal human and turned into a liquid metal person whose body was like mercury. In this form, even if she was blasted into thousands of liquid droplets, she could reform in a short amount of time. She was practically immortal.
"If we were in the inner world, I would only need one minute to wipe you out completely," Lu Te said coldly. Lu Te said coldly. "But here, I have to put in more effort …" She slowly raised her right hand and extended a finger. A white energy ball quickly condensed at her fingertip. "So far, you have 'killed' me six times. In other words … you have successfully launched six fatal attacks on me. "
At that point, Lute paused for two seconds. Her face, which only had a simple outline and was made of liquid metal, showed a slight smile. "However … I'm sure you've noticed that after every attack like this, I'll become stronger."
As her finger moved lightly, the energy ball shot out like a cannonball. It exploded in a trail of white light and rushed toward the demonic head like a tornado.
The next second, the demonic energy burned, and the demonic flame swallowed everything.
The Demon Head raised his hand, and a black flame appeared in his palm. In an instant, Lu Te's light ball was incinerated in mid-air.
Lute coldly looked at the god standing proudly in the firework and coldly snorted … Then, she said in a calm tone, "I might as well be frank … I have experienced a total of 15 'mutations' since I came to this space-time. Every time I complete it … I become slightly weaker than my 'origin form'. " She paused. "After fifteen times, I managed to lower my power to about three times that of a level one Anomaly. Because this is the only way I can enter places outside of the Inner World without triggering any abnormal reactions from the System. "
As Lute spoke, he took a step forward and closed in on his opponent. "As a controllable data, you were able to make me shed six forms by yourself. This is indeed a little surprising. But … this is the end of it. " Her voice seemed to carry an invisible pressure. "The current me, although in terms of destructive power, energy intensity, and speed, I still can't compare to you … But even if you use up all your remaining strength in one go, you still won't be able to cause any fatal damage to me."
As she spoke, Lu Te's footsteps did not stop. She unhurriedly came to a spot five meters in front of the Devil's Head. She stretched out both her arms, and her ten fingers suddenly extended like steel awls.
Facing this sudden attack, the Demon Head did not evade but faced it head-on. The strange black armor on his body was not normal either. Under the impact of the liquid metal, it was not damaged at all.
Clang clang clang clang!
The sound of collisions echoed one after another, and black sparks flew.
"Since I am not speaking, you will not stop talking, Anomaly." Even though the Demon Head did not take a step back, the light in his eyes dimmed. "Do you really think … I have used my full power?"
Once that was said, even Lute's expression shifted.
"I used the accumulated power in this space to play with you, and you got carried away …" A wicked smile climbed onto the Demon Head's face.
His four pupils darkened as if he was foretelling something. So, this was not a sign of exhaustion, but …
"Since you are so confident, then this king will release his true power and kill you eight or ten more times … What harm is there in that?"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a flash of light came from the side, passing between Lute and the Demon Head.
The power of this attack was not that strong, but it was enough to make these two elites react.
"Please calm down, Demon Head." A slightly shrill male voice rang out.
The Demon Head glanced at the newcomer and said without turning his head, "Why are you following me?"
"Of course, it is to stop you from doing anything rash at this moment …" the person replied.
Lute turned around and looked at the person.

"Another one …" Lute muttered. "Hmph … Anyway, the result will not change …"
Taliohm was sitting on top of a building in the distance with his legs crossed, talking to the two here. He was wearing a black robe and a gorgeous cloak. His appearance looked very similar to a human, but his cheekbones were higher than the average person's, and he had two eyeballs in each eye. In addition, Taliohm's skin was white, pure white …
"Demon Head, you must have had a good fight, right? Why don't we … stop here, "Taliohm said. Taliohm said. Even though his choice of words was respectful, his tone was very frivolous.
"Do you think I will lose?" The Demon Head's question was filled with murderous intent.
"No, no …" Taliohm quickly shook his head. "I just want to remind you … if you release all your power, this space will be over." He shrugged. "If it comes to that … then you will not be able to take this place under your rule, and it will give the other three gods an excuse. Furthermore … killing this Anomaly will not benefit you in any way … "He pointed at Lute and continued." Obviously, this Anomaly's goal is not to take over this place, so … why don't you follow me back to the chaotic scorched earth first? After the battle between the Anomaly and the otherworldly travelers is over, we will return. Even if something happens during this period, the ones who will die will be the officers, the jurors, and the nine dead spirits. You will have nothing to lose, my lord. "
Taliohm's strategy was undoubtedly correct. As the brain of the Demon Head, this Curse Magistrate was indeed responsible. He always thought of his superior and calculated the score clearly.
"He's not wrong." Surprisingly, Lu Te agreed with this statement and instantly restrained his fighting spirit. "If we continue to fight, it won't be good for either of us."
Different from the controllable data of the Four Pillars of Divinity, an AI like Lute could make compromises. Sometimes, her way of dealing was similar to that of the 'players'.
This was not the difference in 'intelligence' but the superiority in the way of thinking. Using the dimension as an example, the Anomaly was an existence between the players and NPCs. The players could ignore anything that happened in this dimension, including the end of the world. The NPCs, on the other hand, had a preset personality, standpoint, and ideology. They had to follow their own worldview and 'live' in this dimension. As for the Anomalies … they were more unique. They were like a group of self-cultivators who could never survive the apocalypse. Even though they had supernatural consciousness, they still had to stay in the mortal world.
At this moment, as a more advanced AI, Lute naturally did not want to risk the destruction of this dimension to fight the Demon Head. She would try her best to avoid any variables that would affect her ultimate goal.
…
At the same time, inside Golden Maggot No.1.
"Hey … don't tell me you're lost?" Matcha Cookie squinted from the back seat and asked.
"I don't know the way …" Xiao Tan replied. "I'm just driving in one direction …" He changed the topic. "But … I wanted to tell you ten minutes ago that this road looks familiar …"
"Then why didn't you say it!" Matcha Cookie shouted. "We're probably trapped by something, right?"
"Could … could it be a ghost?" Xiao Tan asked in a panic.
Matcha Cookie saw Xiao Tan's expression from the rearview mirror and sighed. "Brother Wang, you're such a coward. Why do you always think of scary things?" She replied, "Can't you think of something more scientific and practical?"
"The Penrose Staircase?" Xiao Tan asked again. His reaction was fast.
"Erm …" Matcha Cookie continued, "Actually, I just wanted to say that we might have fallen into a trap."
"Have you never heard of this before? Is that why you're changing the topic?" Xiao Tan's intuition was frighteningly sharp.
"Cut the crap! No matter what the reason is … as the driver, you have to take responsibility! "Matcha Cookie replied angrily.
"Don't think about it … you're like the hands on a clock, spinning in circles." Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from the roof of the car and joined their conversation. "If we don't find the spellcaster, we'll never be able to leave …"
