Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

As Jiang Luo spoke, she pulled a strawberry lollipop from her pocket and popped it into her mouth. She wanted to see what kind of sweet talk this human could come up with.

Shen Wandi tapped the black wooden tabletop lightly with his fingers, the crisp tapping sound particularly clear in the quiet hall.

"It is precisely because you are a mysterious being from the abyss who has just entered from the outside."

"This makes me even more certain that you are my only choice."

"You possess terrifying strength that can crush the vast majority of lords in this canyon."

"And in just a few days, they managed to provoke both the North District and the Death Merchant Guild."

"Even after bidding for the final Abyss item, he was able to walk away unscathed in full view of everyone."

Shen Wandi recounted Jiang Luo's achievements during this period as if they were his own treasures.

"My intuition tells me..."

"You are the key to my leaving this burial canyon and even completely breaking the laws of this strange world."

Upon hearing this flattery, Jiang Luo covered her mouth and let out a crisp laugh that had a distinctly villainous quality.

"Ha ha ha ha."

"You old man, you really have a lot of nerve."

"Negotiate terms?"

"Lolo is a formidable being from the Abyss, the lord of Red Moon Castle, and holds a trump card that even the Senate fears."

"You are just a fragile human being who isn't even a monster."

"What makes you think you're qualified to stand at the same table as Lolo and negotiate?"

As soon as Jiang Luo finished speaking, the SS-level abyss aura that had been suppressed within her for a long time suddenly erupted like a flood breaking through a dam.

The dark purple domain of rules spread wildly outwards from the soles of her black leather shoes.

The air in the entire hall was forcibly sucked out at that moment, and the heavy pressure directly crushed the hard black wooden table into a pile of wood chips.

Before the black-robed believers kneeling in the surrounding shadows could even scream, they were crushed by this terrifying abyssal power, bleeding from all seven orifices and lying motionless on the ground.

Even the crow standing behind Jiang Luo was so overwhelmed by this indiscriminate pressure that it pressed itself against the bronze door and rolled its eyes.

Seeing this, Naya, who had been standing to the side, showed a rare look of surprise on his face, which was covered with white skull tattoos.

He clearly sensed that the abyssal essence Jiang Luo was releasing now was several times larger than it had been in Red Moon Castle.

This utterly unreasonable rate of power increase would have been terrifying even a hundred years ago, in an era rife with demons and monsters.

However, Shen Wandi, who was at the very center of the storm, was completely unaffected.

He maintained the posture of pressing his hands into the air, and not a speck of dust even appeared on his white casual clothes.

"Lord Red Moon is joking."

"Since I, Shen, dared to invite you here to discuss terms..."

"Of course, we have prepared offers that will absolutely entice you."

Shen Wandi endured Jiang Luo's terrifying pressure, which was enough to tear apart an ordinary SS-level monster, without changing his expression.

When Jiang Luo saw that this human was completely unharmed despite the pressure of her aura, a genuine interest finally flashed in her large, ruby-like eyes.

"Okay, since you're so confident."

"Then show Lolo your chips."

"If the conditions you offer don't satisfy Lolo..."

"Lolo's going to twist your head off today and use it as a bowling ball!"

Jiang Luo withdrew some of her radiating aura. She used her tongue to push the lollipop in her mouth into her left cheek, waiting for the other party to reveal their trump card.

Shen Wandi patted the sawdust off his hands, his smile vanished, and he adopted an extremely serious expression.

"As far as I know."

"Most SS-level lords would do anything to get into a remote and impoverished place like Burial Canyon."

"Isn't their ultimate goal to find that elusive opportunity, thereby breaking through the SS-level threshold and reaching the legendary SSS-level, which is enough to wield the rules?"

Shen Wandi lowered his voice and threw out a bait that was enough to drive the entire bizarre world crazy.

"I have a method that will definitely work."

"I can guarantee with absolute certainty that Lord Jiang Luo will be able to cross that insurmountable barrier in a short period of time."

"Directly promoted to SSS-level Abyss Overlord."

These words plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence.

【warn! 】

[High-risk verbal manipulation detected!]

[Please maintain absolute rationality and vigilance, host!]

Breaking through to SSS level requires extremely stringent conditions, including absorbing a massive amount of originating material from other worlds of the same origin and complete fragments of rules.

Over the centuries, countless brilliant lords in this bizarre world have fallen before this threshold.

[Based solely on a few words from a fragile human who has been trapped in the canyon for over a decade.]

This promise has absolutely no credibility whatsoever!

The system's cold, urgent red warning panel flashed frantically on Jiang Luo's retina.

Jiang Luo rolled her eyes inwardly; of course she knew how difficult it was to break through to SSS level.

(눈‸눈)

Even those old monsters in the Senate who had lived for countless years could only hide in their coffins and eke out a living.

This human, who doesn't even possess any strange powers, dares to make such a boast.

"Have you been sitting here too long and your brain's rusted?"

"There are so many old bones in the strange world who have studied for hundreds of years but have not found a way to break through."

"You are a short-lived human who only lived for a little over ten years."

"Do you really think Lolo would believe such nonsense that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe?"

Jiang Luo mocked mercilessly, her small hand gripping the sickle already gathering strength, ready to cleave this conman who was wasting her time in two.

Shen Wandi seemed to have anticipated Jiang Luo's reaction.

He was not discouraged by Jiang Luo's mockery, but slowly unbuttoned the collar of his white casual clothes.

"I know it's hard for you to believe me without evidence."

"So I'm prepared to show you with my own eyes the confidence that sustains me."

As Shen Wandi finished speaking, the power within him that had been deliberately hidden suddenly erupted like a rising sun.

It also possessed a terrifying aura that had reached the peak of SS-level.

But this power was completely opposite to the cold, decaying abyssal aura emanating from Jiang Luo and the others.

The energy released by Shen Wandi was extremely pure, like a sacred light capable of purifying all filth.

This pure energy aura spread outwards from him, completely dispelling the strong smell of blood and decay in the hall.

Even the black-robed believers who were lying on the ground, barely alive, began to have their disgusting blue tumors on their faces visibly dry up and fall off after coming into contact with this light.

Upon seeing the dazzling white light, Nyar tightened his grip on his cane with his white-gloved hand, and a long-dormant, fervent interest rekindled deep within his eyes.

He took half a step forward, blocking Jiang Luo's side, and looked Shen Wandi up and down with the eyes of someone appraising a rare treasure.

"interesting."

"That's really interesting."

"Master, the very existence of this human is a miracle that has broken the rules of this strange world."

Naya's voice was filled with undisguised admiration as he pointed to the pure aura surrounding Shen Wandi and began to explain.

"In this bizarre world, any awakened being who attempts to gain power will inevitably be corrupted by the energy of the abyss in the process of advancing their realm."

"They will gradually lose their minds, their bodies will become deformed, and they will eventually become monsters enslaved by the rules."

"But this human named Shen Wandi."

"The energy within his body was not tainted by even the slightest pollution or impurity."

"He even cultivated all the way to the peak of SS level without any obstacles."
