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

Jiang Luo did not turn around.

The little black leather shoes swayed briefly by the armrest of the throne before coming to a stop.

She took the lollipop stick out of her mouth and tapped it twice on the armrest.

"You are not from the strange world."

The hall fell silent.

Nyar did not deny it.

The bone staff rested on the ground, the cracks on its skull-patterned surface gleaming in the candlelight.

"When did the master discover it?"

"I knew it the moment I saw you."

Jiang Luo's red eyes withdrew from the end of the hall and landed on Naya.

"Lolo is now essentially a part of the will of the strange world. Lolo can sense anything that is harmful to the strange world. And the aura on you has made Lolo uncomfortable ever since I saw you. It has nothing to do with your strength. You don't belong here at all."

Nyarlathotep fell silent.

The bone staff spun half a circle on the ground, its tip emitting a faint scraping sound.

"Master is right, I am not a product of the strange world."

Jiang Luo put the lollipop stick back in her mouth and took a bite.

Nyar paused for a moment.

"I come from the void beyond the abyss rift, far beyond what you perceive as the bottom of the abyss."

"A place deeper than the bizarre world?"

"right."

"Then how did you end up in this strange world?"

An arc appeared on Naya's skull pattern.

"Brought by the master."

Jiang Luo stopped chewing the candy.

"Did Lolo bring this?"

"To be precise, it was Jiang Juechen, the lord of calamity a hundred years ago, who picked me up from the deepest abyss."

"Pick it up?"

"It's like picking up a stray dog."

Jiang Luo pulled the lollipop stick out of her mouth.

Jiang Luo was quite surprised to learn that Nyarlathotep had been found in this strange world while wearing a broken metal shell.

But the term "stray dog"...

Whose stray dog ​​is this incredibly strong?!

Jiang Luo couldn't help but roll her eyes.

s(・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ

"Lolo doesn't like dogs."

Nyar paused, but remained calm.

"But my master picked me up, raised me, and sealed me away."

"The seal is because you betrayed Lolo."

"Yes."

Nyarlathotep did not offer any explanation.

Jiang Luo stared at him for three seconds.

"Lolo is now part of the will of the strange world. If an external entity is harmful to the strange world, Lolo can sense it. You make Lolo uncomfortable, which means you are a threat to both the strange world and me."

"Master, that's not necessarily true."

Nyar raised his hand, and his skeletal fingers drew a circle in the air.

"What the master can sense is harmful, but harmful and different are two different things."

"Lolo doesn't understand what you're talking about."

"Simply put, my existence does not belong to the strange world, so the world's will rejects me. As part of that will, the master will naturally feel uncomfortable, but that doesn't mean I want to harm the strange world."

Jiang Luo twirled the lollipop stick between her fingers twice.

"What about the way you pulled out the castle's rules a hundred years ago, opened a spatial rift, and almost swallowed Lolo? What does that even mean?"

"Actually, all of this was a deal between me and the Lord of Calamity."

"A deal? Stella took that hit for Lolo, she almost died!"

Jiang Luo wished he could hang Naya up and whip her right now.

"So I've been atoning for it ever since."

"Atonement?" Jiang Luo was taken aback.

Nyar nodded.

"If the master hadn't been forced into a desperate situation, he wouldn't have entered the Trial Grounds, nor would he have inherited the complete Origin of Calamity. Without inheriting the Origin of Calamity, he wouldn't be able to stop Asura today."

The candy in Jiang Luo's mouth grazed her tongue, and the cloyingly sweet taste spread.

"So you're helping Lolo?"

"I'm paving the way for my master."

"Paving a road?" Jiang Luo stood up from the throne, his black leather shoes landing on the armrest as he jumped to the ground. "Before you paved the road, did you ask Luo Luo if she was willing?"

"Master, this is an unavoidable fact. Even if you don't want to, I have to do it."

"Then tell Lolo now, what if Lolo hadn't made it and died?"

"Master will not die."

How did you know?

"Because I've watched my master get to where he is today."

Jiang Luo walked up to Naya and looked up at him.

The height difference forced her to hold her head high, her red eyes reflecting Naya's skull tattoo.

"Nyarlathotep".

"exist."

"Lolo, I'll ask you one more time."

Do you harbor any ill will towards this strange world?

"no."

Jiang Luo stared into Naya's eyes without saying a word.

Naya switched the bone staff to her left hand, placed her right hand on her chest, and bent slightly at the waist.

"My master sealed me away a hundred years ago. If I had any disloyalty, with the power my master now possesses, he could seal me away again without any complaints."

Jiang Luo stared at him for five seconds.

That's when they stopped.

"Lolo is giving you one more chance. If Lolo finds out that your loyalty to Lolo is fake, Lolo won't hesitate to put you back!"

Naya stared at Jiang Luo for a long time before finally revealing a relieved smile.

"Your style is different from Jiang Juechen's."

Jiang Luo was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, I don't care about that." Nyarlathotep shook his head.

Jiang Luo looked at Naya with curiosity.

"If you don't care about Jiang Juechen, what do you care about?"

Naya straightened up, the cracks on the skull pattern flickering in the candlelight.

"I care about this world."

"A bizarre world?"

"right."

"A stranger like you, caring about other people's worlds, are you alright?"

"Because this world is rotten to the core."

Jiang Luo twirled the lollipop stick in her mouth.

"Give me specifics."

"The Senate is corrupt, lords are vying for power, the abyss is polluted, and the human world has been turned into a pasture."

"It was like this a hundred years ago, and it will still be like this a hundred years from now."

"If I had the chance to see the world transformed, I would give anything."

Jiang Luo did not respond.

She walked half a circle around Naya, her heels tapping softly on the stone bricks.

"You mean, Lolo can change this bizarre world?"

"That's right, only you, Master, can do that."

"On what grounds?"

"Because the master holds the source of calamity and has inherited a part of the will of the strange world. Moreover, unlike the source of calamity that Jiang Juechen once possessed, the master's power is purer and stronger... These two things together are the key to rewriting the entire world."

"The key to rewriting the world...?"

Jiang Luo chewed those words in his mouth and twirled the lollipop stick halfway around.

"Nyarlathotep".

"exist."

"Lolo asks you, what can Lolo rewrite?"

Nyarlathotep did not answer immediately.

The bone staff tapped lightly on the ground, the cracks on its skull-patterned surface flickering in the candlelight.

"Too many to count."

Speak like a human.

"Rebuild the order of this bizarre world." Nyarlathotep's voice was soft, as if stating a perfectly ordinary fact. "The Senate has been corrupt for a century, lords have carved up the land, the pollution of the abyss has spread unchecked, and the human world has been treated as a pasture for indiscriminate harvesting. All these masters have seen it all."

Jiang Luo pulled the lollipop stick out of her mouth and twirled it between her fingers twice.

"so what?"

"The master holds the source of calamity and has inherited a part of the will of the strange world. These two things combined can not only reshape the rules, but also give the entire strange world a new look."

"Even." Nyarko paused for a moment.

"Even what?"

"It could even allow that person to be reborn."
