“Cousin, things don't look good." Barney leaned against the wall with one hand, maintaining his usual suave posture, and chewed on a carrot as he said, "That sound from before... I'm afraid it was a Derivate causing trouble."

Not far away, Rabbit was delivering the final blow to the dying Shagula. With a single claw, he smashed the latter into a pile of minced meat.

"Besides the Derivate, I also smell the presence of the Nine Dead Souls, the Jurors, the Timekeepers, and... the Demon Lord himself." Rabbit shook the blood off his rabbit claws and said in a deep voice, "The danger level here far exceeds our initial estimates. We shouldn't stay long..." A hint of nervousness appeared in his eyes. "What if a powerful Derivate targets us, trying to kill us to enhance its strength? That would be terrible."

"Hmm..." Barney quickly finished the carrot in his hand. "Then let's go." As he spoke, he drew a black hole on the wall. "Anyway, we've already saved your friend once and taken out a Juror. It wasn't a wasted trip. As for the other members of the court... we can look for other opportunities to defeat them one by one."

Rabbit nodded in agreement. Then, he hopped along with his cousin into the black hole. A few seconds later, the hole contracted and disappeared...

...

The other side of the city.

"So, your summon is a highly intelligent support-type creature..." Matcha Su pointed at the busy Musashi Koganei and turned her head to Feng Bujue.

As a professional player, Matcha Su had naturally studied Brother Jue and Xu Huaishang's match, so she already had a rough idea of the skills, the limits of his physical abilities, and so on.

"It's hard to say how smart he is, but..." Feng Bujue replied, "In terms of invention, Koganei's abilities are quite amazing."

Xiao Tan added from the side, "His perversion is directly proportional to his inventing ability."

At this moment, the three of them were in the city fire station's garage, waiting for Musashi Koganei's "modification project" to be completed.

"Hmm... it seems I should practice Summoning specialization too." Matcha Su continued, "If I could get a summon like 'Three-Eyed Boy'..."

"Don't dream." Feng Bujue interrupted. "Koganei is, after all, a character from a gag anime. The things he makes have their unique advantages, but they also have corresponding drawbacks. This is related to his character setting and cannot be avoided. In terms of combat, his role is almost zero, perhaps even inferior to summons like bats or porcupines." He paused for a moment. "But the Three-Eyed Boy you mentioned is basically a perfect summon. He comes from a non-comedy, profound work. He possesses intelligence far beyond ordinary people and an extremely aggressive personality. 'Inventing ability' is just one of his specialties; he also has superb skills, superpowers, and a wealth of ancient civilization knowledge. Theoretically, he can destroy the world.

"So, whether judging from the perspective of 'intelligence' or 'strength,' such a summon would undoubtedly be rated as S-class, definitely not a skill you can master by simply 'practicing.' In fact, even top players who specialize in Summoning specialization need some luck to get a summon of the Three-Eyed Boy's level..."

Matcha Su looked at Brother Jue's face for a long while without speaking. After a good while, she laughed and said, "Heh... I understand a little now why Autumn Wind told me to avoid fighting you as much as possible..." She shook her head. "I just casually said an idea, but you've already thought of so much. In two seconds, you've analyzed the feasibility of my idea so thoroughly through a single keyword..."

"It's my habit." Feng Bujue raised his hand and tapped his temple lightly with his fingers. "Generally speaking... the more thoroughly you think about the progress and results of things, the more psychologically prepared you will be when facing changes, and the shorter the time for surprise and reaction will be." He spread his hands. "Actually, everyone can achieve 'unwavering calm in the face of Mount Tai's collapse,' as long as they think in advance that Mount Tai might collapse."

Matcha Su was quite annoyed by Brother Jue's lecturing tone of smugness. She immediately turned her head and looked at Xiao Tan. "Tell me... does he really like showing off like this in front of people?"

"Uh..." Xiao Tan smiled wryly. "For Brother Jue... this kind of performance is far from showing off..."

"What? Did my remarks unintentionally offend you?" Feng Bujue said to Matcha Su, "Or do you think the essence of my behavior is to flaunt my intelligence and thereby imply that what you have on your neck is just a decoration?"

"Hmph..." Matcha Su snorted coldly. "I see that your greatest skill as a narcissist is your ability to mock people with words... I understood that when watching your match with Xu Huaishang. Your talent for 'irritating others' is truly amazing. The system's language shielding can't stop you at all. Because your intention is not to 'insult' others, nor do you use any dirty words. You just go your own way, which is enough to make people furious."

"Hehe... that's right." Feng Bujue tilted his head and shrugged. "The system thinks so too." Matcha Su wouldn't understand the meaning of his words. Because Brother Jue had been playing solo mode these past few days, only the people from Hell's Frontline knew about his title change. Of course, he had already considered this detail, and it was obviously intentional.

In this final, the information of the participants had been completely shielded, and the team bar was invisible. This way, the players couldn't use the menu to confirm how many living opponents were left in the script, as well as their levels, titles, and so on.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss... completed!" At this time, Musashi Koganei's figure appeared above a fire truck.

He took a step forward and straightened his right arm, making a victory gesture as if he had accomplished some great feat.

"Hahaha... please look..." Musashi Koganei spread his arms and said to the fire truck under his feet, "This is... Golden Maggot Number One!"

In a sense... the name he chose was quite appropriate, because this fire truck had already been corroded by the dark energy in the city. The original red body was covered with a "skin"-like yellowish-brown substance, which felt strangely soft and resilient to the touch...

Now, after Musashi Koganei's modification, this car had been fitted with several powerful mechanical exteriors provided by Matcha Su, becoming a veritable monster.

"Oh! It sounds strong just from the name..." Feng Bujue said with an excited expression.

Xiao Tan and Matcha Su, however, looked disgusted and said in unison, "I wouldn't want to ride it just from the name..."
