I'm not just human!

When they first set sail, he, Prince Justinian, Avalon, and Captain Red Porcupine almost met their doom at the hands of this entity.

Unexpectedly, this sightseeing boat from which there is no escape is also part of the physical Redemption Society!

Immediately afterwards, Xia Fa saw the villa's red lacquered wooden gilded gate open, and a group of college students, both male and female, wearing pajamas and robes, walked out, still sleepy-eyed, some of them rubbing their eyes.

"Hey, commentator, do you think we're like you, some long-time veteran? We need a break, okay? Otherwise, we'll easily fall back into that chaotic state!"

One of the female college students spoke up, complaining, but the moment she got close to the metal sightseeing boat, her silk pajamas immediately transformed into a normal JK skirt and school uniform.

But immediately, this girl, who was very beautiful and attractive, spotted the extremely blurry figure sitting at the marble oval table.

In that instant, she trembled all over, her face turned pale with fright, and her voice trembled.

"Gluttony... Gluttony?"

The other college students, who were originally sleepy, also realized the existence of the bulimiar after hearing her words.

Instantly, the group of college students were startled, like mice seeing a cat. They immediately changed into their school uniforms and didn't even glance in Xia Fa's direction again before boarding the metal sightseeing boat.

He looked exactly like he'd run into the headmaster.

The commentator put down the megaphone, turned to look at Xia Fa, and said with a wry smile:

"Your reputation, Glutton, seems to be far more effective than my earnest advice."

Xia Fa couldn't help but chuckle to himself, not expecting things to turn out this way.

It seems that the fact that he devoured an entire wall's worth of flesh from the Wall of Flesh has left an indelible mark on the minds of some beings...

After all, gluttons are still physical beings, and under the "rules" of gluttony, what they will devour next is uncertain...

"Let's go, let's get on the ship. After the commotion we caused last time, many gods, outer gods, and unknown beings of equal rank are watching this place. We can only rely on this iron boat of these young people."

The storyteller stood up and walked first toward the sightseeing boat from which there was no escape.

The bard had intended to follow closely behind, but suddenly realized something and stopped, turning to look at Xia Fa, who was still sitting.

He bowed slightly, making a gesture of invitation.

“Your Excellency, Glutton, you may go first.”

Xiafa: ...

He had originally planned to use the time while everyone boarded the iron boat to find a way to get up without teleporting back.

Unexpectedly, the bard, in order to show respect for his abilities, actually let him board the ship second!

"There's no other way..."

Xia Fa suddenly gritted his teeth, a sharp curve appearing on his jaw, and a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes.

Just by imagining the image of the golden cleanser carrying a halberd on his shoulder, hundreds of strange electric currents shot out from his spine.

This time, however, these strange currents did not surge to the cerebral cortex. Instead, Xia Fa forcibly injected them into the area beneath his buttocks where the chair was located.

This was a choice made out of necessity. Xia Fa had a premonition that once the injection was successful, he would not only be able to get up at will, but also be able to teleport back with a single thought after getting up!

The next moment, a chaotic electrical fluctuation suddenly surged in the air, so strong that almost all physical entities were inexplicably alarmed.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the Glutton, who almost never got up and whose only purpose in appearing was to eat, actually... stood up from his chair!

"Let's go."

As always, the Glutton remained unsmiling and solemn—though no one could actually see his expression from within that mosaic-like envelope.

After uttering those two simple words, his figure blurred and indistinct, like a ghost or a bolt of lightning, and instantly passed over the bard.

Then, the gray-black, semi-transparent current on his body flashed again, and he appeared in front of the storyteller.

Upon seeing this, the entities all inexplicably tensed up.

The storyteller is undoubtedly the strongest among all the entities, and is the leader of the "Entity Redemption Society," without a doubt.

But now it seems that once the Glutton starts moving, he intends to take the place of the story's questioner...

Otherwise, why would he deliberately walk ahead of the storyteller?

Upon seeing this, the storyteller's weathered old face, etched with deep wrinkles, revealed a look of utter surprise.

But then, as if suddenly remembering something, he shook his head and decided to stop arguing.

Seeing that the storyteller didn't respond, the entities couldn't help but look at the Glutton's blurry figure, which was wrapped in a gray-black, semi-transparent current, and they all seemed to be deep in thought.

Following closely behind, everyone climbed onto the tin boat.

However, they all tacitly agreed to wait for the Glutton, the Storyteller, and the Bard to board the ship before daring to follow.

……

"This……"

The largest cabin on the metal sightseeing boat, which was also used as a reception hall, was where Xia Fa sat back down on the metal chair, feeling completely bewildered.

Just now, in a last-ditch effort, he finally succeeded, injecting the hundreds of strange currents generated at his tailbone into the wooden chair he had just been sitting on.

In a mysterious way, he felt a connection between himself and the wooden chair, and this connection was also connected to a more distant place, namely the direction of the City of Ten Thousand Stars in the Worm Islands.

Or rather, after absorbing the strange electric current, the wooden chair became some kind of "hub" or "node," through which one could return to the tavern in the City of Ten Thousand Stars with a single thought.

But what Xia Fa didn't expect was—

After being able to stand up and leave the seat on his own, freeing himself from the limitation of "teleporting back as soon as he gets up", he actually gained a new ability!

Or rather, it has awakened a new ability!

This ability was the "electric teleportation" I unintentionally used when I boarded the metal sightseeing boat in the villa garden!

Just now, Xia Fa remembered very clearly that he only wanted to take a step towards the tin sightseeing boat, but suddenly he was teleported in front of the bard.

Then, it teleported in front of the storyteller, and immediately appeared on the gangway extending from the metal sightseeing boat.

Only then did this ability of the electric current to teleport stop.

Although it might seem like nothing, just now, when he involuntarily teleported with electricity, Xia Fa had a strange intuition that—

If I were to use it again, most beings would be unable to stop me!

To be precise, unless the Nine Great Gods or the Golden Cleaners intervene, I can use this electric current to teleport wherever I want!

As for accidentally getting ahead of the storyteller...

Xia Fa looked around the reception hall. He was sitting to the right of the storyteller, while the bard sat to the left. The entities were all gathered around the storyteller, forming a circle, and began discussing how to break through the Ancient Mithril Gate.

In other words, he had essentially made his stance clear: the physical redemption organization... would still be led by the story answerers.

Since he knew almost nothing about the Ancient Mithril Gate, Xia Fa could only listen silently.

"How about we use the same tactic as last time against that ancient undead guardian?"

“I agree. This way there is almost no loss, but it will be hard on the sightseeing boats and storytellers who can’t escape again.”

"However, after breaking through the Primordial Undying Guardian, what about that chaotic void..."

"We have no choice but to try. With Lord Gluttony here, if five of us can successfully pass through the Chaos Void, there is a real possibility of entering the Primordial Mithril Gate."

"Your Excellency Glutton, do you know these things? Especially the Chaos Void."

As they were talking, the rose gardener looked over and earnestly gazed at Xia Fa.

The Rose Gardener... This was the first time Xia Fa had encountered this supposedly terrifying entity.

He was dressed as a gardener, in simple overalls, holding a watering can, and wearing a straw hat. He looked to be in his forties and had a faint scent of roses about him.

Legend has it that the Rose Gardener, a real entity, will randomly choose any inhabited planet in the universe and a place where roses can be grown—whether it's a garden, a flower field, or a flower bed in a wealthy family's villa—to quietly and meticulously cultivate his own roses.

If someone accidentally picks or damages the roses during the rose gardener's cultivation process, that person will be in serious trouble.

Often, the next day, or even that night, they would be found dead, and... their entire body would burst open, turning into a giant rose of flesh and blood.

In this context, the rose gardener naturally becomes one of the most terrifying figures in various urban horror legends.

Fortunately, his "rules" are very simple: just don't pick or damage the roses he is cultivating.

Once the roses are cultivated, the rose gardener will leave on his own, and at that time, you can do whatever you want with the roses he has cultivated.

But by that time, no one would deliberately damage his roses anymore, because the roses cultivated by the rose gardener could almost all be called top-notch works of art—a single rose could sell for hundreds of thousands of gold pounds.

It should be noted that these roses are not extraordinary plants, and therefore do not possess any supernatural effects. The fact that they can fetch such high prices among ordinary people demonstrates their astonishing value in terms of aesthetics.

This has led many extraordinary merchants to choose to resell these roses, transporting them from one inhabited planet to another and selling them to the most powerful and wealthy among mortals.

These rumors about the rose gardener only flashed through Xia Fa's mind. Seeing the famous figure looking over, Xia Fa was quite straightforward and answered calmly:

"I'm not sure, I haven't been to that place."

The rose gardener nodded thoughtfully, but did not speak further. Instead, he looked at the bard.

Clearly, someone who can only rank in the top ten among entities, but not in the top three, is not qualified to explain these things to Lord Glutton.

The scene in the lobby of the metal sightseeing boat immediately quieted down. The bard, with a gentle smile on his face, cleared his throat twice and began to explain to Xia Fa.

"Your Excellency Glutton, it's normal that you haven't been here long enough to understand the Ancient Mithril Gate."

"First of all, the location of the Ancient Mithril Gate is within the nested ghost realm of the underground ghost realm outside Rum City."

“Once, a Golden Cleaner appeared and destroyed the civilization that the giant jaw beasts had painstakingly built in that nested ghost realm. It was a very sensational event, but unfortunately, we were unable to witness it in person.”

"Outside the Gate of Primordial Mithril, there was originally an Outer God, whose title was [God of Devouring], who was forced to guard it."

"No one knows where He came from or why He was bound outside the Gate of Ancient Mithril."

"However, the civilization of the giant jaw beasts was actually established under His guidance, because the emergence of the giant jaw beasts was closely related to Him, given the authority held by the [God of Devouring]."

"Back then, when that Golden Cleaner appeared, not only did it destroy the civilization established by the Giant Jaw Beasts, it also beheaded this [God of Devouring], which actually made things easier for us."

"Without the protection of the [God of Devouring], we can easily enter the first Ancient Mithril Gate."

"And behind the first Ancient Mithril Gate lies the great enemy that once greatly troubled us... the Ancient Undead Guardians."

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa's eyes flickered slightly, and all the confusion he had had about the underground cavern suddenly became clear.

No wonder he encountered the storyteller and saw more than a dozen invisible entities at the same time.

At that time, the entities were already preparing to break through the Ancient Mithril Gate, weren't they? Especially when the Golden Cleanser wielding the halberd beheaded the [God of Devouring].

Fortunately, perhaps out of fear of the Golden Cleaners, the entities did not immediately appear in that nested ghost realm, nor did they witness the destruction of the Giant Jaw Beast civilization.

Otherwise, I estimate I would also encounter the physical entities, which would lead to unpredictable trouble.
