"Kill me? Logically speaking, it should be me wanting to kill you, right."
A trace of murderous intent suddenly appeared on the lion-headed Mo Ke.
"You killed one of my lives and took my Substitute Treasure and Dominator. Doesn't it seem like I should be the one seeking revenge on you."
"Is that so?"
Richard displayed a cold smile on his face.
"The commotion from your self-destruction wasn't small. Do you know you attracted a giant!"
"A giant?" The lion-headed Mo Ke was taken aback. A Dimension Giant is not someone you want to mess with, as within the dimension of a Dimension Giant, they are comparable to a Heavenly Demon, which is the Leader.
Even a weak Dimension Giant is equivalent to a Double Limit Break Sovereign.
Encountering such an existence, could Richard have survived?
The lion-headed Mo Ke looked at Richard's serious expression, and couldn't help feeling a bit uncertain.
He suspected Richard was deliberately trying to confuse the owner of the maze with nonsense, but recalling Richard's methods of attack, he felt Richard might be telling the truth.
However, regardless of whether it is true or false, he had to play along for now.
"Ha, you're boasting so much, aren't you afraid it'll blow up in your face? You, someone who even needed to ambush me, managed to escape from a giant?"
Richard remained silent, simply continuing to coldly smile.
"You'd better have prepared a Substitute Death Technique; otherwise, you definitely won't escape this time. Even if you don't die by my hands, you'll perish in the experiment."
The lion-headed Mo Ke responded with just a snort.
In the library, the Slime, listening to their conversation, flickered with a layer of fluorescence within it.
"It seems I was being paranoid; these two are indeed enemies."
As an ancient Dominator, although the Slime's mind was slightly deranged, having lived for so long, even a fool would have defense ingrained in their bones.
He glanced at the book nearby, with countless streams of information flowing and calculating within his soul.
As he calculated, the Slime inadvertently transformed into a creature resembling an octopus.
He murmured to himself, "This time it has to succeed. If I miss this chance, my remaining time won't allow me to wait for such good material again."
Before becoming a Level 9 Creature, any Dominator had a lifespan limit, no matter what Evolution Road they walked.
He had lived too long, so long that among Dominators, he was already considered as good as dead.
If he didn't create a suitable body soon, he would truly die of old age here.
...
Richard didn't engage with the lion-headed Mo Ke for long. After ostensibly exchanging a series of trash talk and covertly detailing the cooperation specifics, he left that secret chamber and returned to the plain he initially entered.
According to the Slime, there were many small things on this plain that could adjust Richard's body to its best state.
Richard walked on the plain, all four of his eyes wide open, constantly observing the surrounding space.
According to the lion-headed Mo Ke, the Heavenly Destiny Evolution Road involves integrating one's soul into a piece of heaven and earth, becoming akin to the World Will.
This Evolution Road's upper limit can reach the Great Sky Demon, and the Great Sky Demon of the Endless Demon Kingdom follows this route.
However, despite its high upper limit, there are numerous issues with its practical implementation.
With the slightest mistake, the soul could be annihilated.
Mo Ke speculated that the owner of this laboratory took a wrong turn, causing their soul to not fully grasp this space, thus becoming a prisoner, eternally trapped in this maze.
Due to not completely going wrong, their life's essence slightly changed, which is why a normal Dominator body couldn't contain their soul.
This is why this person went to such extremes experimenting with Dominators.
They needed a similarly incomplete, sublimated body to house their soul.
The lion-headed Mo Ke's voice echoed in Richard's mind.
"Don't be intimidated by this half-baked guy. Although they seem daunting, their actual combat power isn't even equal to a real Heavenly Demon. If you can use the Power of Dimension to block the energy nodes within an area in a short time, it'll detach that space from their control.
The more such areas, the weaker their power becomes. If we can control over a third of the space, they cannot defeat us.
If we can control half, they are doomed."
Richard observed the surrounding space. In his vision, the air was filled with energy light paths. These paths were incredibly complex, like the capillaries inside a human body.
"This path... not bad," Richard sighed slightly in his heart.
Integrating the soul into the world, replacing the flesh with the world, was an incredibly brilliant idea. Though the physical body is strong, no matter how it changes, its internal power can never compare to a world.
Dominator can shatter worlds, but only because the World Will is vague and cannot precisely manipulate its power, nor does it possess the knowledge of many Dominators.
But when the soul merges with the world, everything changes.
Even the smallest Miniature World has energy in its Earth Veins exceeding that of a Breaking Limit Sovereign. Such abundant energy, combined with the complete rules internally within the world and the invincible manifold of the World Origin... Such an existence could be called the ultimate entity without exaggeration.
"But unfortunately, they took a wrong turn."
Though Richard didn't fully understand, he could clearly see that there was a problem with these energy light paths.
While they did fill every inch of space, they lacked a sense of roots and stems. They resembled pipes meant only for transporting energy.
Clearly, this is not right.
```
If a world wants to move, its interior must be incredibly tightly connected. If it's just these simple pipelines, the world would fall apart as soon as it moves—in fact, if all pipelines were like this, the world wouldn't even have the ability to move.
Richard silently calculated the solution in his mind and, after a moment's thought, a familiar magic technique appeared in his mind.
"...The Silk Puppet Technique is quite suitable here."
The puppet silk released by the Silk Puppet Technique can extend infinitely along these pipelines as long as there is the Power of Dimension, and form a plug at each node.
Richard simulated the scene of the Silk Puppet Technique spreading in his mind, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Perhaps, for that great person, this is the true use of the Silk Puppet Technique.
At the same time, the lion-headed Mo Ke in the secret chamber prison also began to take action.
"Ha, a Heavenly Demon who took a wrong path dares to let me in."
Lion-headed Mo Ke sneered inwardly. Although it was clear that the owner of this laboratory came from a super-cluster level civilization, their Endless Demon Kingdom is also a super-cluster civilization.
A crippled person daring to let him in with such confidence is truly seeking their own death.
Amidst the sneer, the Flame Wheel behind lion-headed Mo Ke began to spin faster, and an invisible force appeared on his body.
This kind of evolution on the wrong path, although it incarnates into the World Will, its control over the world is far weaker than that of a Dominator on the right path.
These light paths seem to allow him to see everything inside the world, but in fact, it's not hard to deceive his eyes.
Especially since Richard told him that the owner of the laboratory is modifying the plan.
Under such circumstances, he has at least nine ways to deceive his eyes, nine ways!
After concealing his vision, the Flame Wheel behind him began to emit invisible flames. These flames are invisible and untouchable, and as soon as they appeared, they merged into the energy light paths inside the space.
This is a divine skill named Demon Seed, which can pollute and demonize a creature on both the soul and physical levels.
This demonization does not transform a person into a creature of the Endless Demon Kingdom but rather throws them into a state of uncontrollable madness, with their body also deforming and shattering.
Of course, in such states, the attack power of the creature also increases.
There was once a case in the Endless Demon Kingdom where a Dominator was beaten to death with one punch by another Dominator weaker than him after using a Demon Seed.
However, high risk, high reward.
As long as the effect of the Demon Seed takes effect, then the owner of this laboratory will surely not be able to handle him.
At that time, the numerous treasures within this laboratory, and even its inheritance, will all be in his pocket.
Having become a demon, how could he lack a bit of frantic demonic nature?
In the library, Slime was perfecting the plan, suddenly feeling a strange sensation in his heart.
That feeling was like an itch somewhere.
He glanced at Richard and lion-headed Mo Ke, and after discovering that they hadn't done anything, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
"Could it be my misconception? Or have I gone mad, experiencing hallucinations again?"
Slime knew well that his mental state was very unstable, having experienced auditory and visual hallucinations over the years, perhaps this time is the same.
Abandoning the doubts in his heart, Slime continued to modify the plan.
This is his one and only chance, and he must seize it.
...
"Have they already started setting things up?"
Watching the special energy flashing through the energy pipelines, Richard began weaving the Silk Puppet Technique within his body as well.
Clearly, to win, they must achieve the unexpected.
Setting things up in advance is surely a good method.
The weaving of the Silk Puppet Technique was completed swiftly, but embedding it into the light paths without being discovered posed some difficulty.
The completed Silk Puppet Technique was surrounded by a layer of energy, then the Power of Dimension once again started circulating within Richard's body.
This time, Richard's first complete rule—the Radiation Rule was turned into a divine power.
With the Radiation Rule transformed into divine power, Richard added a layer of barrier around the Silk Puppet Technique to ensure that energy would flow smoothly along this barrier.
Walking around, the light ball containing the Silk Puppet Technique quietly merged into the light paths.
This time, even Slime in the library did not feel anything strange.
Only a sudden ominous feeling arose in his heart.
"Hm? Why do I have such a feeling?"
Slime put down the plan book, not dismissing this feeling as a hallucination like before.
The Dominator's sudden premonitions are never without reason.
His will traversed along the energy pathways, this being his most cautious self-inspection method. Soon, the Demon Seed thrown by lion-headed Mo Ke appeared in his consciousness.
"What is this?"
Instinctively, Slime touched the Demon Seed, wanting to see what it was exactly.
But he didn't know that the Demon Seed was triggered by touch.
