This means that if he goes up and through that door, it will definitely not be as simple as reaching the top floor of this unfinished building, but rather crossing a boundary and entering the unknown time of another dimension.

Gu Mo did not hesitate about this.

He lifted his leg and stepped forward, ascending the last step, and just like that, he walked straight out.

The angle of the sunlight, the color of the sky, seemed to have undergone no change. Standing in the high-altitude wind, he instinctively squinted, as if he had just walked out through the rooftop door. He extended his hand to shield the sunlight, also surveying the surroundings on this top floor.

He discovered that he was standing on the top floor of a high-rise building, but the building under his feet was no longer the skeletal, pigeon coop-like unfinished building from before. Looking down from the rooftop, he could also see that the surroundings were not the desolate development area construction site but a modern cityscape full of tall buildings, lined up densely in every direction.

He found himself in an unfamiliar modern city.

With this realization and looking back once more, Gu Mo found that the rooftop door behind him was indeed wide open. This silent and unnoticed change in space-time was truly incomprehensible and filled him with awe.

Without rushing to leave the building, he stood high up looking around in all directions, wanting to discern what era this dungeon world might be set against. Though it felt quite similar to his own time, further confirmation was necessary...

Hmm, wait, what is that?!

His gaze slightly froze, his eyes becoming fixed.

What was supposed to be a casual glance turned out to deliver an unimaginable shock from the get-go, almost emptying his mind entirely.

Because in the distance, in that direction, there were a few relatively short buildings, appearing to be a school campus, with a corner of the playground visible. And just at the edge of his sight, barely touched by his vision was... an extremely huge shadow above those buildings.

The long, snake-like body twisted and stretched, possibly spanning tens or even hundreds of meters. It looked like a terrifyingly massive super serpent, coiled around several buildings...

——"??? (100%)."

The health bar marked by the system indeed indicated it was some form of existence. Gu Mo couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. Is this new dungeon world this outrageous? To see such a terrifying scene right after entering, did he accidentally wander onto a monster movie set?

Swallowing hard, he looked at that terrifying serpent shadow, feeling a bit apprehensive while quickly self-assessing his recharging and growth during this time.

There seemed to be no chance of winning; even given another month, that monstrous creature's tail could probably kill ten of him with one swipe... Even having a Guardian Spirit, he couldn't fully wield their power, nor could he hold on for long.

Huh, wait, the Guardian Spirit doesn't seem to have issued any warning.

Thinking of something, he subconsciously glanced to his sides, only to see the large fox still calmly sitting next to him, gently brushing its large nine tails, while the White Snake lay lazily unmoving, apparently unresponsive to the outside world.

If something capable of threatening him as a host were present, they should logically react.

Moreover...

He cautiously moved a few steps forward and looked down from the edge of the rooftop.

Traffic was bustling; people coming and going. Cars sped past in succession, and pedestrians orderly crossed the street or walked along the sidewalk. It was a scene of peaceful harmony, with no panic or commotion, no incidents of collision or stampede.

Especially with that terrifying silhouette coiling around a building, hovering over an area in the background, the contrast seemed particularly stark, creating a surreal, magical feeling.

"Is it invisible...?"

Gu Mo suddenly had an understanding.

And at the same time—

A young figure with purple hair and blue eyes stood on the rooftop of one of the buildings around which the terrifying, serpentine shadow spiraled. He gazed down at the dreadful form that most people could not see at all, revealing a smile.

"Speaking of which, isn't this 'Demon'... a bit oversized?"

Behind the young man was a gentle woman in a kimono, watching the figure with some concern and asking.

"There's no choice, after all, it's near the graduation exams, and people must be very tense..." the young man nonchalantly replied, "But with you around, there's no problem—let's go, Ban Ying!"

"Yes, Yato-sama!"

The woman snapped to attention, instinctively responding.
