The gunshot echoed across the entire Spiral Mountain.
However,
At the moment of firing, Tom realized something was wrong,
He thought that at such close range, with the target in a restrained state and completely unguarded... even if the target were the [President], it would cost many lives.
But,
This shot did not feel like it hit a living being at all,
The bullet seemed more like it pierced through some empty, ownerless shell... or broke some kind of seal.
At the same time,
Within the Chaos Casino, the [Ultimate Ancestor God], symbolizing the origin of all organic life, suddenly convulsed,
A frighteningly bloody, flesh-wounded hole appeared in its right palm, and white smoke was emanating from it, making it difficult to heal in a short time.
...
[Sealed Chamber]
The prisonerâs chest was pierced through with a fist-sized hole,
Rather than a hole, it was more like an endless abyss,
A series of eyes held between lips were gazing at the two brothers,
Feeling the terrifying gaze coming from the abyss,
The boss Tom showed no fear, instead, he had a look of both surprise and delight.
"Could it be! This body is also a seal used for imprisonment? It even has a sixth level of sealing. What on earth are you, that you require so much effort to imprison you?
Unexpectedly, this battle has an unexpected reward.
Come on, my Penny Family accepts your challenge, poor prisoner."
Indeed.
Tomâs instincts were correct,
This âhuman bodyâ seated and imprisoned was a sealing method fabricated by the [Ultimate Ancestor God], along with the âIron Maidenâs Head Cageâ, forming the primary [Body and Head Sealing].
Now,
The body seal was broken by Tom,
Instantly,
The "Chaotic Aura" sealed for countless epochs gushed out madly through the pierced chest opening.
The entire Spiral Mountain was exuding the aura, even turning the entire Grey Realm into a chaotic hue.
Crack~
Cracks spread outward from the chest opening, as this bodily constraint began to disintegrate gradually,
Duang!
The gray iron chain connected in the corner of the secret room was successively pulled out.
These âGray Chainsâ made by the grey had long ceased to serve any restraining function and had over time been converted into his own asset.
When the bodyâs shell was completely disintegrated,
A slender, cone-shaped body formed by layers of tentacles twisting and spiraling together was revealed.
Amidst the stripes of each tentacle, mouths of various kinds from different creatures were squeezed.
Perhaps it had been confined within a human shell for so long that when its true form was released, it still instinctively maintained a âhumanoid formâ,
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Gray lines resembling nerve roots danced in the air, intertwining to form arms filled with barbs and crevices,
Pa!
A long tail, crammed with the heads of powerful beings, filled with fine flesh and bone structure, and covered in dark scales, landed behind the figure,
But unfortunately,
Its "Head Cage Sealing" was yet to be unlocked, unable to present its most perfect form.
Yet such a âreleaseâ already satisfied it considerably.
Spreading its arms wide, it assumed a posture of embracing freedom,
An indescribable excitement emanated from within the head cage,
"Ah! How marvelous... the taste of freedom is truly wonderful!"
All the tentacles on its body straightened, entering a state of extreme euphoria.
At the same time,
The mouths spread across its entire body opened wide, as if about to perform a grand chorus from the depths of the abyss.
Deep within its form,
A core symbolizing the inherent nature of chaos let out a long-contained âroarâ.
Conducted through numerous lines, it was about to erupt from every mouth.
The boss Tom was the first to sense the danger.
Immediately, he fired a shot outward from the cave.
Standing on his toes on the bullet, he and his third brother withdrew from the place... to avoid being penetrated by the sound at point-blank range.
Hoo!!
A terrifying cry from ancient times reverberated throughout the grey world... even parts of the sound seeped out of the battlefield area, heard by every individual in S-01.
[Chaos Casino]
The elder sitting at the center position displayed an exceptionally rare smile at the sound,
Seemingly acknowledging the mad creation produced by chaos within his heart,
And perhaps finding the gamble becoming more interesting due to this unexpected change,
Meanwhile,
On the enormous gaming table representing the Grey Realm-Sharnoth, a chaotic-colored twisted chess piece appeared.
Mr. Eugene propped both arms on the edge of the gaming table and announced new gambling rules:
"Due to the release of [Night Roar],
The âbattle situationâ in Sharnoth will undergo a fundamental change, necessitating a corresponding amendment in the overall gambling scenario.
One may now place bets of an event nature on âwhether Sharnoth will fallâ,
Additionally, individual bets can be placed on âNight Roarâ and on the effective survivors at the end of the war."
All related odds are available for inquiry; everyone, please revel to your heartâs content."
...
[Sharnoth]
Roughly assuming family territoryâs control and advancing steadily within the city, "Chief Butler-Sofu" felt the hair on his body stand on end upon hearing the roar powerful enough to change world rules.
Despite not yet receiving reinforcements orders from Tom,
As the butler, he immediately made a decision.
"Everyone listen up, within half a minute switch to [Accommodation Mode], abandon all current battles and advantages, and prepare to support the boss!"
Family members promptly suspended their battles, and each returned to their homes.
The territoryâs area began contracting as everyone returned, and various buildings were âspace-foldedâ away... leaving only the central family mansion.
Finally,
The mansion was reduced to a length of two meters, carried on Chief Butler Sofuâs back in a âcarrying the coffinâ manner.
Kneeling, he launched off the ground.
A body entwined with Corpse Energy rapidly soared, rushing towards the worldâs edge.
His judgment was correct,
When he reached the fringes of the Grey Realm,
The Spiral Mountain used as a seal was crumbling into ruins.
The boss Tom and third brother John were just emerging from the collapsing mountainside,
And everyone gathered together.
"Sofu, just in time! Because of the âsoundâ restrictions existing in this mountain, I couldnât message you."
"Boss, what on earth is this?"
"A powerful enemy... an exceptionally rare and intriguing true adversary, potentially even matching the strength of the [President].
This type of opponent is extremely rare, letâs use our real abilities to engage him.
Even if it requires exhausting the familyâs resources, it doesnât matter. Are you all prepared?"
"Yes."
Speaking of which,
The boss placed his hands on the shoulders of "third brother" and the "chief butler" respectively.
Both of them transformed into different forms of energy, absorbed back into the bossâs body.
Some terrifying aura immediately emanated... suppressing even the being inside Spiral Mountain momentarily.
[Penny Family]
The reason why the family can exist in a group organizational form, especially among the Out of Control beings, and obtain approval from the Committee... is precisely because this so-called âfamilyâ was always differentiated from some âOut of Controlâ individual.
Too powerful, with a highly diverse personality and difficult to control.
Thus,
Through the out of control trait- [Family],
He split himself into various important individuals, existing in a family format.
Scratch~
A right hand wearing a black leather glove struck a matchstick,
The left hand shielded the wind,
Lighting a cigar held in his mouth.
While exhaling a smoke ring,
Schwing!
A sharp "Decapitating Razor" slipped out from the left sleeve,
A "Browning Handgun" appeared in the right sleeve,
Simultaneously, a wood chair engraved with the family crest hovered in the air, allowing him to sit cross-legged.
"Hmm... what a nostalgic posture! Donât disappoint me, Demon."
