The voice that suddenly appeared near her ears stunned Yun You.

"Sequence ability... incubation... what does that mean?"

Confused, she instinctively asked, "Master Zero, is that you speaking?"

[...]

Clearly, the speaker wasn't Master Zero.

Because even it was stunned.

After a short while, it finally reacted.

[I think I know what's going on, Yun You]

[It's your 'sequence ability' speaking! You're in luck!]

[Sequence abilities are fundamentally a part of your soul power, which is why it can directly engrave its 'words' into your mind in the form of sound!]

Master Zero's tone suddenly became excited, as if realizing something extraordinary.

[As for the meaning of those few phrases, let me simply tell you, Yun You]

[Consider your sequence ability as equipment or items in those pay-to-win online games, and there are two ways to enhance this 'item']

[The first is leveling up, which is self-explanatory, but the important thing is the second method, which is adding 'traits' to the sequence, think of it as 'enchanting properties' on the items]

[For example, the basic trait of your Mad Dog Sequence is limb enhancement, while generally, Mad Dogs can also add traits such as 'heat', 'poison', 'curse', etc.]

[Under normal circumstances, Apprentice Death Gods can only add traits through training]

[But you're different, it seems you can add some... traits only monsters possess through eating, such as Space Slash]

[Imagine this, your Mad Dog Sequence already has powerful limbs, and if you add the trait of Space Slash, then every punch or slap might have a terrifying destructive impact on the enemy]

[That's why I said you're in luck, tsk tsk, you were previously said to be unable to obtain the ability of Space Slash, but now you've gotten it in such a manner, truly ironic]

Master Zero's words left Yun You bewildered.

The sequence upgrading matters are quite complicated, the little girl is still only half-understanding them.

But she understood one thing.

That is, she seems to have gained the ability to use Space Slash.

"You're saying, I can now... initiate a Space Slash?"

[Not exactly, didn't you look closely? This ability is still 'incubating', you probably need to wait a while before you can use its power]

[Moreover, I must remind you, a trait can perhaps only be enchanted onto one sequence]

[That means if you grant the Mad Dog Sequence the trait of Space Slash, then your 'Invisible' and 'God' sequences won't be able to gain that ability anymore. So, how you choose is up to you]

Master Zero timely splashed cold water, calming Yun You.

Nevertheless, with many restrictions, the girl is still quite happy.

Thinking about being able to possess such an intangible and subtle attack method in the future, the corners of her mouth would unconsciously lift, revealing a heartfelt smile.

This battle was certainly worthwhile...

...

After finishing all the monster remnants, Yun You let out a big sigh, stretched lazily, and then suddenly realized two people were behind her, staring dumbly at her eating the monster.

"Uh..."

Yun You scratched her head a little embarrassed, concocting many excuses internally, but as she was about to speak, the monster bone in her hand dropped to the ground with a "plop."

"How should I put it..."

The little girl casually hid the bone, said a bit awkwardly, "Turning enemy remains into worthless residue is just a personal habit... Apprentice Death Gods, you know, we all have small quirks... That's perfectly normal."

Frost Moon didn't speak, just twitched the corner of her mouth.

Jack remained silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth.

But just as he was about to speak, Yun You gestured for him to wait a moment, then took a bottle of alcohol from her military backpack, sanitized it, and poured it into the drinking tube of her gas mask via a one-way valve.

Thereafter, she forced herself to gulp the alcohol down, displaying an expression of disgust and reluctance.

Indeed, Yun You had also used [Pre-Borrowing] this talent ability in the earlier battle, avoiding the outcome of being severely injured by the Spinal Sword due to hesitation.

The lion uses full strength even when hunting a rabbit, and in a battle where the combat power was almost equal, there could be no reservations.

"Cough cough cough... I always hate this bitter and astringent drink, never understood why dad likes it so much."

Yun You coughed a few times, glanced at the bottle in her hand, gently shook her head, and tossed it away.

With her cheeks flushed, she supported her knees and slowly stood up, saying to Frost Moon and Jack, "Don't be surprised, this is the 'weakness' of my talent, as you might understand."

"Well, feel free to ask, I know there must be questions in your hearts, about my talent, my healing ability, my sequence..."

Yun You was prepared to be questioned.

However, neither Frost Moon nor Jack asked about these aspects.

Frost Moon continued to remain silent, while Jack hurriedly took out a new chemical protective glove from his backpack and put it on Yun You.

"Chica, your hand... is it okay?"

Yun You was slightly stunned, not expecting a mercenary to show concern for her.

Earlier, both her hands were severed by the Space Slash.

Especially her left hand, it was entirely cut off from the root, along with the chemical protective gloves which were sliced into two pieces.

Later, although she healed the injuries on her hands through eating, the damaged chemical protective gloves could not self-repair.

And this also means, the "red mist" in the mine might have already affected the girl's body through the wound and the gap in the chemical protective gloves.

Jack was worried about this.

But Yun You herself was not afraid.

Given her peculiar constitution, along with the presence of Master Zero, it's hard to tell who would be tougher with poisons.

Moreover, her hand only touched the air for a few seconds, even if the gas is toxic, the amount that entered her body shouldn't be significant.

Overall, it's not a big deal.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Yun You waved her hand, signaling Jack not to bother.

"Don't underestimate the physique of an Apprentice Death God, our lives are as tough as iron lumps."

"Let's keep moving forward."

"Alright then, be sure to tell us if you feel uncomfortable, don't treat us as outsiders."

Seeing the little girl still full of energy, Jack couldn't say much more, only reminding her with a few words.

"Okay."

Yun You grinned, nodding.

Just as the two planned to continue heading deeper into the tunnel, Frost Moon suddenly appeared from the side, handing a book that looked somewhat like a notebook to them.

"Take a look at this."

Frost Moon pointed at the notebook, whispering, "I just found it from the clothes of the monster that got blown apart, the handwriting looks new, and it feels like a diary left not long ago."

"Diary?"

Upon hearing this, Yun You and the others immediately became interested, and took the notebook, carefully examining it in the light.
