Chapter 155 – Unstoppable executioner


In the blue and white pixelated ocean, the “Deep Sea Lord” Krau’s head was surrounded by a series of damage numbers.

……

Lu Yao searched around and finally locked onto the enemy.

It was a yellow and white pixelated hamster, looking quite normal. It was crawling on the island on the back of the Deep Sea Lord, digging around in the soil and chewing on something.

The damage value of 1 was floating up from its mouth.

Strangely, Krau remained motionless. In automatic mode, the Deep Sea Lord should have counterattacked any attacker – even if it was just a hamster.

Lu Yao clicked on the little animal with doubt.

In the Trainee God Mode, he only got a term for “Unidentified Creature.”

So Lu Yao activated the “True Sight Spell.”

……

【Cleaner】

Life Value: ∞/∞

【Boundary Beast】

A projection formed by the power of rules, used to eliminate abnormal interference occurring within the world.

【Disarm】

Temporarily remove the attack ability of all existing objects in the vicinity.

【Devour】

Use devouring to judge and eliminate the target.

……

Only then did Lu Yao dare to confirm.

The so-called Sea Swallower was this hamster.

The Deep Sea Lord was “disarmed” and temporarily lost its attack ability.

He opened Krau’s panel and found that even the damage and defense had disappeared.

This hamster was essentially a puppet of the power of rules.

Or, the Cleaner was created by this world… as an antivirus software?

It was meant to clear out “abnormal interference.”

Lu Yao was familiar with the term “interference.” Once interference occurred between two worlds, it would produce strange phenomena like mirages. The Spirit World and Earth had experienced this phenomenon.

He wondered: Could it be that the Fragmented World would eventually produce a crossover zone?

According to the theory of the rising and sinking of boundary dimensions.

Low-dimensional spaces like the pixelated world would constantly move. In theory, as long as enough time passed, it could encounter other worlds of low-dimensional space, causing mutual interference and even overlapping to create a crossover zone.

Wait.

Epoch update… could it be like this?

Lu Yao suppressed the wild thoughts in his mind.

For now, he had to deal with the “Cleaner.”

It had been staring at Krau and gnawing on it. If it continued, Krau’s health bar would be reduced to zero and he would have to report to Sanilo.

What to do?

The “Cleaner” theoretically had infinite life and also had “disarm,” making it a small account of the world’s rules. Conventional attacks, no matter how strong, were meaningless.

This was the biggest confidence that the Fly God dared to launch a surprise attack on Sanilo. The “Cleaner” was a Boundary Beast that even the Trainee God couldn’t handle.

The hamster continued to gnaw on the body of the Deep Sea Lord, looking like it wanted to swallow every part of Krau’s body for verification. As for whether the parts that had been gnawed on could be restored, that was hard to say.

Lu Yao calmed down and thought of a question.

How did the Fly God lure the hamster over?

A miracle?

The “Cleaner” was immune to damage, so no.

An item?

Lu Yao clicked on the item bar and pulled out the item that the Fly God’s statue had burst out.

It was a stone, covered with mosaics.

Lu Yao also didn’t neglect his faith and activated the “True Sight Spell.”

……

【World Stone】: The basic unit of the power of rules.

【Cannot be used】

【Abnormal Interference】

%%¥##%@&******

……

Below was a large cluster of garbled characters that even the True Sight Spell couldn’t decipher.

Abnormal interference.

That was what the “Cleaner” wanted.

Lu Yao pulled out the “World Stone” and waved it on the sea surface with the mouse. The hamster immediately dropped the Deep Sea Lord and transformed into a kayak, swiftly swimming towards the “World Stone.”

It was indeed after this thing.

Lu Yao put the “World Stone” back into the item bar, and the “Cleaner” lost its target, turning back to the Deep Sea Lord to continue its gnawing and identification work.

The Fly God had used this method to lure the “Cleaner” all the way here, wanting to use its hand to disarm other gods. If the Fly God’s plan succeeded, Lu Yao would be in big trouble.

To be safe, Lu Yao threw the “World Stone” to the “Cleaner.”

The hamster swallowed the abnormal interference in one gulp and immediately disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, a line of text appeared on the simulator.

“The Cleaner’s attitude towards you has changed to: friendly.”

“The Cleaner gives you a gift.”

“The Cleaner hopes you can continue to help it find related items, and it will give you a gift as thanks.”

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

You could also develop a good relationship with a Boundary Beast?

As for the gift from the “Cleaner,” it was a small bell.

……

【Cleaner’s Friendship】: Faith +1/hour.

A special substance formed by the power of rules, unable to be strengthened.

Can summon the Cleaner to come and eliminate abnormal interference. Only effective in this world.

……

Lu Yao put the hamster bell into the item bar.

If he didn’t find any abnormal interference, it was better not to summon this difficult-to-understand Boundary Beast. It had no concept of friend or foe and would gnaw on anyone.

The Fly God’s statue was still lying on the ground, a painful precedent.

He had tried to play a risky game and ended up being eliminated directly.

The appearance of the “Cleaner” unraveled some of Lu Yao’s confusion.

For example.

The rules of the pixelated world had always been in operation, but these forces could not be directly seen. Boundary Beasts like the “Cleaner” were extensions and concretizations of the power of rules.

Lu Yao asked Sarina.

She had rich experience and related memories of the gods, having experienced many epochs.

“Master, my knowledge is limited, but I can tell you what I know.”

Sarina explained, “The Fragmented World is an active low-dimensional space that is constantly moving.”

“Movement brings change.”

“Internal changes are normal, such as the growth and extinction of various races, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the slow changes in natural environments everywhere. These are all evolutions under the world’s rules.””The external factors are unpredictable. The most direct ones are the interference and even more severe overlaps between worlds.”

“The power of the rules continuously corrects and eliminates interference and overlaps… Anomalies are usually localized in space, but they could be an object, or even a living being.”

“Whether it’s the interfering object or the overlapping zone, under the repair of the power of rules, they will gradually shrink until they disappear.”

Lu Yao had experienced this firsthand.

Previously, in his rented room, as long as he activated that stream of heat, he could see the Wishing Spirit and the Pebble Beach appear on his bed. It was as if he had torn open the surface layer of space to reveal the inner layer.

Now, Lu Yao could no longer see them.

Song Shiyi also said that the crossover zones are temporary and will gradually vanish.

Lu Yao had a hypothesis.

Could the so-called epochal transitions also be a balancing act by the power of rules?

The purpose of epochal transitions is to further evolve and expand the world, while also correcting a portion of the “anomalies.”

These anomalies clearly include “deities.”

“You are very accurate, sir,” Sarina said.

“The fragment worlds undergo epochal transitions, and in this process, the worlds also rise, interfering with, overlapping, and possibly even merging with other fragment worlds.”

“The fragment worlds attract each other, gradually entangling and eventually merging.”

“After a sufficiently long process, at a fortunate moment, many fragment worlds will intertwine, evolving into a brand-new masterless world, bursting anew with life.”

“Of course, this is extremely difficult.”

“With each epochal transition, the world’s space will expand, and its internal evolution will become increasingly complex, continuously threatening the deities’ faith and population.”

“Without being a chief deity, one cannot control the world. The evolution and threats brought about by epochal transitions are inevitable, only escalating and intensifying.”

“The ultimate choice for deities is to ascend to the Pantheon.”

“Becoming one of the pantheon allows them to tear the world apart, taking away a stable, independent space. The deities will use this as a vessel to begin a slow voyage through the vast dimensions.”

“However, this creates another gap in the fragment world, requiring more epochs to repair. Thus, the fragment world is in a constant state of being torn and repaired, making it difficult to be completely whole.”

Lu Yao suddenly understood.

So this was the meaning behind the Crawling Zone where the deities resided.

He had found it strange before.

After the epochal update, the strength of the Transcendent monsters had surged.

The Dark Sun and Dragons, the northern Ice Giants, the southern Tree Demons, and the densely packed Cannibal Crabs in the sea—these creatures were too much for ordinary players to handle.

If not dealt with properly, these Transcendent beings could easily destroy thousands of small folk.

The purpose of the rule correction is to expel the deities.

In the world’s rule system, deities, interference, and overlaps are all the same.

No wonder the Fly God was in such a hurry. It was necessary; entering this difficult fragment world, delaying until the next epoch to ascend to the pantheon would be even more challenging.

Lu Yao also prepared himself to face the challenge.

As a player, one must always learn to adapt to different versions.

He twisted his neck, took out his phone, and began searching for the next boon.

This time, Lu Yao was ready to try something new.

What would happen to the pixel world if he introduced a living animal?
