What do you mean I've traveled to worlds geared towards children?

Ron looked at Cleos with anticipation.

Cleos glanced at Ron a little longer before saying to him, "You should read less of those useless novels in the future, but... your concerns are not without merit... Hmm, come here."

"okay!"

Seeing Cleos beckon, Ron excitedly ran over.

Then, Cleos gently placed her hand on Ron's head.

……

Waaaaaah~~~~~

From the depths of the ocean came the cry of a whale.

The sound startled Mu Dongyin awake from her deep sleep.

She sat up abruptly in bed, looking around warily. Only after confirming that there were no enemies around did she breathe a sigh of relief.

However, after relaxing, Mu Dongyin looked bewildered again:

Where am I...?

Everywhere Mu Dongyin looked was a shimmering expanse of water.

The walls of the room were made of seashells, and there were even swaying seaweed on the ground, making the whole room feel as if it were submerged underwater.

Incredibly, despite being deep in the water, Mu Dongyin felt no moisture at all and was even able to breathe freely underwater.

He turned his head and touched the bed, and even the bed felt dry, without a trace of moisture.

The stark contrast between the visual and tactile sensations left Mu Dongyin somewhat bewildered.

"Lady Mu Dongyin, you're awake."

Mu Dongyin had just regained consciousness when she heard a familiar voice beside her.

Turning my head, I saw it was a mimicking bat.

He stood on the clothes rack in the room and bowed to Mu Dongyin, saying, "The Demon God said that if you wake up, you should go to the temple to see him. Lord Ron and Lord Ghost Angel are there."

"…temple?"

Mu Dongyin then gradually recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness.

She suddenly stood up and asked the mimicking bat:

"Intruders...were the intruders repelled?"

“Um… this is a bit…” The mimic bat hesitated to speak, scratching his head with his bat wings and whispering, “…there were too many of the phantom beast warriors, and in the end…we had to run away.”

"They escaped..." Mu Dongyin paused, then asked, "Then what did you just say about the 'temple'..."

“Oh, that’s it.” The mimic bat suddenly realized and explained, “Because we’re no longer in the Endless Forest, we’re now in the Azure Sea.”

"This is the Temple of the Guardians of the Azure Sea."

It is also the guardian of the Azure Sea, a legendary mythical beast, and the abode of the Four Seas Dragon Gods.

Chapter 89 Pirate Crab King? Pirate Comedian!

The Temple of the Guardians of the Azure Sea is located deep in the ocean.

A magical place that, although submerged in seawater, offers no sensation of seawater.

Yes, it's just like the Journey to the West that Ron watched when he was a kid.

When Tang Sanzang was captured and taken underwater, even though it was described as being underwater with bubbles rising everywhere, the person inside couldn't even make their hair float...

The current situation is similar to that one.

Hmm, it's geared towards children, isn't that amazing?

Of course, all of the above was just Ron joking.

In reality, the underwater temple in the azure sea is actually an enclosure that isolates the seawater, and the various bubbles and light effects inside are mostly special effects.

There's really no difference between being here and being on land.

Ron stood inside the underwater guardian's temple, facing the equally sleeping and unconscious guardian, quietly watching as the demon god landed on the guardian's head and, just as he had done with Jumang, bound the guardian with black chains.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

After watching for a while, Ron finally asked the demon a question.

The demon adjusted its posture and landed on the head of the enormous Eastern dragon coiled in the center of the hall. After a moment, it answered Ron's question:

"I am extracting the 'Guardian Heart'."

"...What is that?"

"If I collect all four of the things that the Four Guardians possess, I will be able to open the door to the real world."

Perhaps now certain that Ron was himself, the Demon God made no attempt to conceal anything.

Ron frowned, staring intently at the demon god as he asked, "You want to go to the real world? Why?"

"Is there even a need to ask?" The Demon God opened his eyes and looked at Ron: "Although darkness has awakened, it's far from enough to rule the Phantom Beast Continent!"

"Everything in the Beast Fantasy Continent originates from human imagination, so... if I can control the entire human world, then I can completely transform the Beast Fantasy Continent into whatever I want it to be!"

At this point, the demon god spoke with great passion, displaying the demeanor of a pyramid scheme leader.

Ron remained silent for a long time, utterly speechless.

So in the end, it all comes down to ruling the world, right? You villains... your ultimate goal is surprisingly consistent.

But now that we know the Demon God's plan, things are actually easier.

The demon god wanted to open the gate to the human world, but Ron refused to let him. Not only did he prevent him from opening it, but he also wanted to eliminate the demon god's threat before An Yan and the demon god faced each other.

As for what the system said about the production team, four seasons and fifty-two episodes, what does that have to do with Ron?

After gaining power, he immediately killed the demon god and sent the group of kids back to the real world, making them go to school obediently.

Children should do children's things; let Ron, an adult, handle the fighting and killing.

And now...

“Boring.” Ron expressed his disdain for the Demon God’s ‘ideal’. He leaned against a temple pillar with his arms crossed and said to the Demon God, “I don’t care what you want to do. You promised to give me more power, but now… without using the Ghost Angels for fantasy armor, I can’t even beat An Yan.”

"You can't expect me to use only the power of the Night Wolf King, can you?"

Ron expressed his desire for power, which is also his current persona.

Although in reality Ron also craves power.

"Hehehe, don't be in such a hurry." The demon god chuckled, glanced at the guardian beneath him, and asked Ron:

"What do you think of this guardian?"

"...?" Ron's expression shifted. "What do you mean? Do you think I can directly use a power of the Utawarerumono level?"

If Ron could really use Utawarerumono-level power directly, then why is he still wasting his breath talking to the Demon God?

Upon hearing this, the demon god shook his head and said:

"It's not that simple. Even for you, with your current capacity, you're not qualified to withstand the legendary level. Moreover, the core attributes of the Four Seas Dragon God are not compatible with your current state."

The Four Seas Dragon God, as the name suggests, was originally the Four Seas Dragon Kings in Chinese mythology.

However, in the world of fantasy beasts, the four sea dragon kings merged into one, becoming the four sea dragon gods representing the ruler of the entire ocean.

The Four Seas Dragon God is undoubtedly a powerful mythical beast, but now, like Jumang, he is asleep with his eyes closed, and it is unknown when he will wake up.

Tsk, could it be that all the guardians have fallen asleep? Is the power of darkness that strong? It managed to put all the righteous beasts to sleep right from the head?

Ron was extremely curious about this. He had asked the demon god about it before, but the demon god hadn't said anything.

So Ron stopped asking. Anyway... he could see how the plot unfolded from an outsider's perspective. Why the guardian was asleep, whether there was an even more powerful being behind the demon god—he could just wait and see... he would eventually find out everything.

Ron glanced at the Four Seas Dragon God and feigned disdain:

"Then why did you bring up the Four Seas Dragon Gods?"

The demon explained calmly:

"Although you cannot arm the power of the Four Seas Dragon God, you can arm the power of the Four Seas Dragon God before its evolution."

A glint flashed in Ron's eyes:

"You mean..."

“Ice Dragon Emperor, Deep Sea Wolf Dragon, Mermaid Queen…” The Demon God slowly uttered the names of three fantasy-level mythical beasts and said to Ron, “All three of them can evolve into the Four Seas Dragon Gods. Among them, the Ice Dragon Emperor is the easiest to evolve into the Four Seas Dragon Gods. You might… go and find them.”

“Ice Dragon Emperor… Deep Sea Wolf Dragon…” Ron murmured the names of several mythical beasts, then looked up and asked, “Will they help me?”

"Hehehe, when I broke the seal, I used the power of darkness to corrupt the entire continent. I suppose these two fantasy-level beasts have also been corrupted by darkness and can be considered my... no, our subordinates."

It's like the Thorn Witch and the Oni Spider.

In truth, neither the Thorn Witch nor the Ghost Spider ever truly met the Demon God. What they saw were merely 'demons' conjured from the darkness within their own hearts.

The demon god used this method to erode the entire Fantasy Beast Continent.

Otherwise, how could he, a mere individual, possibly plunge the entire Fantasy Beast Continent into darkness?
