The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

"Your place really does have all sorts of customers."

Although Gu Xu spoke softly, his words, amplified by the Domain of Calamity, instantly resonated throughout every corner of the Eternal Winter City.

Naturally, the message also reached the ears of the figure in the center of the altar.

The moment Gu Xu's voice disappeared, Munetimi slowly opened her eyes.

To be honest, He had already noticed Gu Xu's arrival.

To be precise, He had already sensed it the moment Gu Xu shattered his skill barrier.

Although the barrier's power was not strong enough due to various limitations, in His view, it was at least not that fragile.

It's not something that a mere professional below the Origin level can break through.

Unexpectedly, a small accident still occurred.

Of course, Munedimi was not flustered by this; in fact, one could say he had been waiting for this moment.

At this moment, he stood up from the altar, turned around, looked up, and his gaze pierced through the blood-red mist, locking onto the figure high in the sky.

There was no fear or apprehension in his eyes, only an almost frenzied fervor.

It's like an archaeologist finally unearthing legendary ancient ruins deep in the desert, or a gambler finally getting the hand that turns his luck around.

"I knew... you would come."

Munetimi spoke, his voice filled with arrogance: "But I truly didn't expect..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Gu Xu twice.

The fanaticism in his eyes grew even stronger.

"The power of the Old Ones has actually been restored to this extent in you."

"But you are clearly just a weak individual from a low-dimensional plane, a mere ant, yet you can bear such immense power... It's truly unbelievable."

"To be honest, I'm very curious, how did you do that?"

When these words reached Gu Xu's ears, his expression immediately became somewhat indescribable.

Weak individuals of a race in a lower-dimensional plane?

The body of an ant?

Ugh, it's the same old routine again.

He is indeed a rather low-key person.

But that doesn't mean he's weak, does it?

Why is it that every time I encounter this situation, the other person immediately gives me an expression that says, "You're such a weak vessel, it's a miracle you're still alive?"

What exactly is it about me that makes me seem like a noob?

Is it because the military uniform is too plain?

Or does it just look like "easy to bully" written all over its face?

Gu Xu may have been complaining in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

He simply stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down at Munedimi on the altar, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and replied in a nonchalant tone, "You're quite confident, aren't you?"

A few simple words, spoken calmly and without haste or anger.

"hehe……"

When Munedimi heard this, he was not angry at all; instead, he laughed.

The smile that bloomed on his face, which was gradually changing, looked particularly eerie.

"confidence?"

He repeated the word softly, then nodded: "This word is indeed interesting. You humans are quite good at finding adjectives."

"Your description is accurate, even though what you carry is the true power of the ancients, the true authority of the ancients."

Munetimi’s tone carried a strange reverence, but that reverence was clearly not directed at Gu Xu himself, but at the “power” within him.

"If one day, you fully recover..."

At this point, Munedimi's tone suddenly became extremely serious, even carrying a hint of awe: "Don't even mention that my Lord Zogra, the Lord of Devouring Dimensions, will be instantly annihilated by you."

"Even the gods of other dimensions are nothing more than beings you can erase in the blink of an eye."

At this point, Munetimi's expression suddenly changed.

The awe has vanished.

Instead, there is a condescending pity.

"But the problem is, right now..."

He raised his hand, which had turned a deep purple, and pointed it at Gu Xuxu: "You're too weak."

Those four words were spoken with absolute certainty.

"You, who haven't even awakened one ten-thousandth of the power of the past, are no different from a slightly larger ant in my eyes."

Most people might actually believe that.

After all, the other party's wording was indeed very persuasive, and their tone was as if they had the entire universe standing behind them.

It exudes sophistication and has a broad scope.

He's at the pinnacle of the pretentious world.

But Gu Xu is no ordinary person.

After hearing these words, he remained silent for about two seconds.

Then—"Pfft."

Gu Xu smiled.

It wasn't a sneer, nor was it mockery; it was just a genuine feeling of amusement.

But clearly, this smile caused Munetimi's expression to freeze instantly.

A look of surprise flashed across his face.

wrong.

Normally, the other party should be shocked, fearful, or at the very least angry after hearing these words.

Why... did you smile?

What are you laughing at?

Munetimi frowned, his tone full of accusation.

Gu Xu waved his hand, as if trying to suppress a laugh.

But clearly, he couldn't hold it in.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

But soon, he took a deep breath and suppressed his smile.

Then he looked up at Munetimi, his tone full of sincerity: "I just think... putting everything else aside, you're really good at showing off."

Munetimi: "..."

"We haven't even started fighting yet, and you're already acting like you've got me cornered."

Gu Xu clicked his tongue, his expression like someone in an internet cafe seeing a bronze-level player taunting a master-level player: "Where did you get such courage?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Munetimi's face darkened.

But clearly, Gu Xu hadn't finished speaking yet.

"And to be honest..."

Gu Xu tilted his head, looking quite confused: "I've never really understood your place in the world."

"If you're the big boss, you have a master above you; if you're the small boss, why are you making such a big show of it?"

"So to sum it up, you're at best... just a dog of a false god, right?"

This is quite blunt and rather impolite.

Munetimi's pupils suddenly contracted.

A shadow of gloom crossed his face.

But Gu Xu didn't give him a chance to reply, his mouth moving like it was on fire: "Have you ever heard the phrase 'a dog relying on its master's power'? That's exactly what you're like."

"He has no real skills, but he keeps talking about his master to scare people."

"As for your master..."

Gu Xu shrugged, his expression resembling that of someone who knows the other person will get angry but insists on continuing to talk, looking utterly irritating.

"That won't do either."

Upon hearing this, Munetimi's breathing suddenly became rapid.

"After all, if it really works..."

Gu Xu gestured towards the cracking dark red sky above him with his lip: "Hasn't your master already arrived? He's been trying to squeeze in for ages, hasn't he? Like he's constipated, he can't even get in..."

"This incredibly powerful Lord of Dimensions, all that hype, and what's the result? Descending into a lower-dimensional plane is as difficult as crossing a single-plank bridge?"

"To put it bluntly..."

Gu Xu shrugged: "That's it?"
