"..."
For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the surroundings.
The Headless Knight stopped his destructive rampage, stood up, and turned to stare at this peculiar human youth.
He observed meticulously, scrutinizing up and down.
But all the feedback he received told him...
This guy was just an ordinary human.
Can't you see I'm having a great time killing here? And you're just sitting there cutting strawberries - this is disrespecting my profession!
(╯°□°）╯
Clang—
Clang—
He took heavy steps toward Lynn, casting a massive shadow.
Looking down, he spoke with a hint of doubt in his voice:
"Can't you see me?"
Lynn focused on cutting his fruit, responding dismissively: "I can."
"Then aren't you afraid?" the Headless Knight questioned doubtfully.
Lynn tossed a strawberry into his mouth, staring with dead-fish eyes:
"Terrified! Absolutely terrified."
"Then why aren't you running?" the Headless Knight glared.
Lynn concentrated on his fruit knife, saying: "Can't you see I'm cutting fruit? If you've got nothing else to do, get lost. I'm waiting for my master to return."
The Headless Knight was instantly shocked.
You, a mere human, dare to be so arrogant in front of me?!
Got a death wish?!
"Oh, by the way," Lynn turned his head, his fish-dead eyes looking at him, and said:
"Just a suggestion, if you're going to cause destruction, fine, but could you not shout those chuunibyou-like slogans? Haven't you noticed my goosebumps? Have some respect for others' feelings, would you?"
"..."
"..."
Instantly, silence fell so complete you could hear a pin drop.
"You dare give me suggestions?" The Headless Knight was stunned.
Can't you read the situation?
I'm a demon!
The kind of terrifying demon who kills without batting an eye!
He finally understood.
This guy must be mentally ill!
To be this brain-dead, the condition must be severe!
Since that's the case...
His face suddenly twisted into an evil, gleeful smile.
Just as Lynn was about to complete the final step of making his ice cream cone, the Headless Knight suddenly lifted his foot and smashed Lynn's stand, along with his strawberries, into pieces.
The next moment, a mocking laugh rang out unrestrained.
"I don't care what you're up to, but you're quite interesting. You're the first one to remain so calm in front of me."
Lynn: "..."
He spread his arms, letting out bursts of taunting laughter.
Thus, he completely failed to notice Lynn's slowly rising head and the expression on his face.
"What, not happy?"
The Headless Knight sneered as he raised his blade, saying:
"But it doesn't matter. Dying by my sword is the honor of your lifetime! Hahaha!"
In an instant.
The terrifying giant blade was raised overhead.
Then it slashed down toward Lynn.
The horrifying power instantly stirred up an overwhelming presence, like Mount Tai crashing down.
A huge metallic clash rang out.
The scene he imagined of splitting this human in half didn't materialize.
He was shocked to see that.
When his giant blade hit the human's head, it actually got a huge notch in it.
If viewed from the side, one would surely see this bizarre scene.
A gap had been knocked into the middle of the massive blade, with the dead-fish-eyed youth's head wedged in that gap.
Fragments of the blade clattered to the ground.
"Holy crap!" The Headless Knight was instantly shocked.
This sword was forged from the hardest metal from the abyss!!
What kind of joke is this!
This can't be real!!
This can't be real!!
He even thought he was hallucinating!
Lynn opened his dead-fish eyes and unhurriedly raised his hand.
Then, under the Headless Knight's shocked gaze, he flicked the blade embedded in his head...
Just a light tap with his finger.
Like flicking someone's forehead.
Crash—
The battle blade instantly developed countless cracks, then shattered like glass all over the ground.
Headless Knight (ΩДΩ): "Holy shit!!!!"
Lynn took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and said:
"Do you know how long I've been licking that ice cream cone?"
"I didn't even eat it during my health check..."
"You think you can just rampage like this?!!!"
Lynn was furious.
With rolled-up sleeves, his fist delivered an uppercut to the Headless Knight's stomach.
A sound comparable to a nuclear explosion rang out.
The Headless Knight's back instantly bulged, his eyes protruded, and his entire armor cracked with countless fissures.
"Mommy!!!"
A piercing scream of agony echoed throughout the city.
...
Meanwhile.
In the deepest underground of the castle.
Vivian gritted her teeth, forcefully inserted the ancient key into the keyhole, and turned it hard.
Instantly.
The massive stone door before her immediately lit up with dense magical patterns.
Vivian pushed open the great door, almost completely drained of strength.
A huge space suddenly appeared before her eyes.
And in the next moment, she saw the situation inside clearly.
Right in the center of that space.
Sat a hunched figure covered in dust.
It had white hair falling over its shoulders and held a rusty sword in its arms, looking like a withering old man.
"Is it... a descendant of the master..."
An old and hoarse voice rang out.
Vivian's whole body instantly trembled as she said, "Yes... yes, I am Vivian Lin Violet, the two hundred and fifty-first great-granddaughter of the Great Lord of Violet... greetings... greetings, Grandfather Sword Puppet..."
She quickly knelt down.
Before her father's death, he had told her the family's greatest secret.
She knew that the being before her was their ancestor's, the great Great Lord of Violet's most outstanding creation.
A powerful magical puppet that even possessed self-awareness.
Throughout history, every time their Violet family faced a crisis, this powerful being would emerge to help them resolve it.
It could be said that.
Without his existence, there would be no Violet family today.
The hunched figure slowly stood up, dust rolling off his body.
"I understand," he said in a hoarse voice:
"I have already sensed the demon's presence. Indeed, times have changed..."
"If the master were still alive, even a demon lord would not dare to set foot on this land where he once lived..."
He slowly turned his head, revealing his face.
When Vivian saw his face, her whole body instantly trembled in shock.
Half of his elderly face had collapsed, revealing the extremely precise gears and parts inside.
Under his tattered sleeve, one could faintly see an arm made entirely of precise magical patterns and metal constructs.
The Sword Puppet!
Her ancestor the Great Lord of Violet's proudest creation.
A puppet that had lived for thousands of years.
"Grandfather Sword Puppet, your body..." Vivian trembled.
The Sword Puppet said hoarsely: "My energy is insufficient now, my body sustained wear during the last emergence, many parts have started to deteriorate... however..."
"I can still fight one last battle."

Heart] Chen Yi traversed the cultivation world for eight hundred years, charging his way to the Tribulation Transcendence stage. Just as he was outwitting his 81st Heavenly Tribulation to ascend to immortality, he was suddenly pulled into a chat group called the "Multiverse Transmigrators Support Group." To his surprise, the group was filled with nothing but fresh-faced newbies who had just transmigrated. [Help! I transmigrated into a disgraced concubine in the cold palace, and the tyrant emperor is about to execute me!] [I ended up as a cannon-fodder villain, and the protagonist is still chasing me—WTF!] [I woke up as the protagonist’s father, but I’m about to be sacrificed in a ritual! What do I do? Urgent!!!] Chen Yi stared at the chaotic flood of desperate pleas in the group and fell into deep thought. "Seriously? You drag me into a newbie transmigrator chat group… only after I’m one step away from becoming an immortal?"
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
