I don't want to conquer witches anymore.

Entering the alternate dimension is also the only escape route for the second brother and Millie.

The purpose of the second brother holding Millie from the beginning was this. In order not to let down the sacrifice of the beautiful woman, he gritted his teeth and took Millie with him to rush into the interdimensional gate and disappeared in front of Duke and Cecil. When Guangbao saw their figures completely leave the real world, he quickly stopped the holy light cannon that he was about to throw to avoid damaging the space gate.

"Duke, what should we do now?"

Cecil's tone was tinged with embarrassment and regret. She hadn't expected that her carelessness would lead to such a major blunder, allowing two of her prey to escape. For a professional hunter like her, this was a major setback in her career.

"Of course we're going to catch up," Duke said decisively. "Let's go!"

"oh oh!"

After saying that, the two of them stepped forward and rushed towards the still-open spatial portal.

Duke and Cecil both knew the immense risks involved in participating in such unconventional witch games, especially since this alternate dimension belonged to the Tower faction; entering it was tantamount to fighting on someone else's home turf. Duke had already experienced this feeling during his battle with Talia in the Sleeping Beauty game… even with Lady Scarlet by his side, he fought desperately until the very end, even dying once, before barely managing a narrow victory.

However, the risks involved in destroying the old order beneath the floating city are no less than those involved in hunting down the second brother and Millie. If they don't even dare to do that, how can they expect to achieve something bigger?

Duke and Cecil stopped in their tracks before the portal.

On Earth, when adventurers participate in the Witch's Game, the presiding witch must bless the participating players in her own way.

"May the Holy Light bless you, Duke."

"May you have good fortune in battle, Cecil."

They exchanged blessings almost simultaneously, smiled at each other, and walked side by side into the portal.

……

Despite the brief dizziness caused by the spatial displacement, Duke opened his eyes and looked at the world around him.

But soon, Duke felt incredulous and closed his eyes. He counted to three silently before opening them again. He then reached out and pinched his arm muscles hard, feeling real pain, before he could confirm that... the world hadn't changed.

Everything he saw before him was real, a true reality of another dimension, not a hallucination he had conjured up out of homesickness.

The street that appeared before Duke looked similar to the technological world of his previous life. Although it was night, the shops along the road were brightly lit and bustling with noise, a scene full of vitality. In the distance, skyscrapers stood tall, and various magnificent buildings filled the field of vision.

But the only difference from Duke's past life was... everything here was enormous, not the size of something for normal humans, but rather like the dwelling place of giant monsters 10-15 meters tall. Duke and Cecil were like Gulliver who had wandered into a land of giants, only able to look up at the enormous, exaggerated streets with difficulty.

"Where am I?!"

Cecil gasped in amazement as she looked around in wonder.

Duke found the streets of the floating city quite advanced, but their design, based on magic and sorcery, coupled with the unique style of a world of swords and magic, meant that while the floating city's streets were advanced, they were ultimately quite different from the technological world at large. Therefore, when Cecil, representing the "natives of this other world," saw these streets, he couldn't help but sigh.

The most noticeable difference is the size of the city.

"How big must the people living here be?" The fear and dizziness brought on by the colossal object made Guangbao's eyes spin like mosquito coils, and her voice became slightly coquettish: "Ugh~ Duke Duke, is this the Titans' home?"

"do not know."

Duke shook his head and looked around, but didn't see the second brother and Millie who had come in before them.

He never expected to catch them as soon as he entered, after all, this world was the home ground of the Tower faction, but the strangeness of this world still exceeded Duke's original expectations.

Just then, a huge convenience store in the distance suddenly started playing deafening music. As the music played and the automatic sensor doors opened, it was as if an earthquake had started on the ground where they were standing, and some enormous creature strode out of the convenience store.

Guangbao's eyes widened: "What is that? Some kind of dragon-like creature?"

But the sheer size of the behemoth shocked Duke far more than Cecil, because he recognized the monster that had emerged from the convenience store.

Duke seemed to be talking in his sleep:

"No...that's a Tyrannosaurus Rex."

Chapter 197 You Can't Be Killed by Milk, I'm a Professional Commentator

Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Although Duke had never seen this creature in person, the scientists' faithful recreation of it led to its frequent appearances in numerous works of art, allowing Duke to recognize the monster that had just emerged from the convenience store.

...Although the well-fitting clothes it was wearing made Duke's mouth twitch slightly, its short forelimbs, huge and ferocious head, fierce teeth belonging to a predator, and strong and agile body were exactly the same as the Tyrannosaurus Rex in movies and TV shows.

Immediately afterward, Duke's gaze swept past the Tyrannosaurus Rex leaving the convenience store and onto the store's interior. There, he saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex dressed in a store clerk's uniform waving its short forelimbs, seemingly bidding farewell to a customer.

They look somewhat similar to the earth dragons in the world of swords and magic, but there are also obvious differences—earth dragons are also dragon descendants, possessing the bloodline of magical dragons, and their bodies also generate extraordinary organs similar to dragon crystals, which are used to use spells similar to dragon language magic.

Duke, a trickster, was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in magic, but no matter what he did, he could not sense any fluctuations or traces of magic from these two Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Judging from the art style of this world, this Tyrannosaurus Rex civilization should be a technological civilization. Although magic exists in this alternate dimension, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, who do not have organs to perceive magic, turn a blind eye to this untapped treasure trove of magic.

Of course, if their technology level is so high that it can overwhelm the magical technology level of the floating city, then it's okay for them to waste it as they see fit, even if Duke said nothing.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't notice Duke and Cecil; compared to their lengths exceeding ten meters, the humans were indeed insignificant in size. Having entered the age of civilization, they no longer possessed the acute vision, sense of smell, and hunting instincts of their ancient times.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex customer gave a polite roar to the shop assistant. This deafening roar was like an earth-shaking sonic attack for Duke and Cecil, but for the Tyrannosaurus Rex themselves, it was probably just normal conversation.

Duke instinctively tried to cover his ears, but stopped halfway through. If it were his old body, he would have covered his ears along with Guangbao by now, but he was using a prosthetic body.

This body not only possesses advantages in strength, agility, and physique, but is also extremely powerful in terms of vision, hearing, and smell—not only is it highly sensitive, but it also has an extremely high tolerance for stress.

“But I can’t understand it.” Duke sighed, turning to look at Guangbao, who was still covering his ears. “Cecil, do you understand Dragon Language?”

"A tiny bit! But the roars they were making were definitely not in the dragon language I know!"

Cecil shouted at the top of his lungs, startling Duke, who was standing right next to him. Duke glared fiercely at Cecil, whose loud voice made Guangbao shrink back.

Then Duke heard Cecil mutter in a low voice, which he could clearly understand, "Hmph, always yelling at me, √straight man..."

Duke was slightly taken aback when he heard Guangbao's muttered words and tone. He then looked down at the system interface and found the favorability system that hadn't appeared for a long time.

Cecil's favorability rating: Passionate.

[Once you reach the "Passionate" level of Cecil's affection, you can claim a reward.]

[Item: Mirror of Radiance, already generated.]

[Item Name: Mirror of Radiance]

[Item Description: If the young Radiant Witch had possessed this item earlier, she would have avoided many detours.]

[Item Effect: Adjusts energy levels.]

Duke's lips twitched slightly as he stared at the system notification. Faced with Guangbao's seemingly coquettish complaint, he remained silent for a long time, only tearfully pulling out the system reward and sighing inwardly:

Looks like I'm still not a straight man enough!

Guangbao, I've always considered you my good brother, but I never expected you to want to be my wife!

cough.

This is obviously a joke.

Not to mention that Duke's PTSD has been cured thanks to Amber's efforts, and he is no longer panicked about the witches' increased favorability, even if we take a step back, a single "enthusiastic" favorability rating doesn't prove anything.

Don't you see, the Cake Princess's affection for him was also enthusiastic, but the innocent little Greta and he had a purely sibling-like relationship (Duke's perspective); even if Amber really had "ulterior motives," didn't she take any action when she was still enthusiastic? (A certain lewd elf: That's because someone was like a block of wood, still forcibly pulling him along!)

Duke still believed in his revolutionary friendship and brotherhood with Guangbao. Although her favorability rating had unexpectedly reached the level of enthusiasm, it didn't matter. It just meant that their friendship had taken another step forward.

Oh dear, you're not going to die from this. I'm a master of relationships who can juggle five relationships at the same time. Don't you understand this situation?

Duke shook his head and looked down at the reward from the favorability system: the Mirror of Radiance.

The Mirror of Radiance did not appear to be a mirror, but rather a monocle. Duke casually put it on his right eye, covering the Eye of Sulfur, and then he saw many complex numbers on the lens.

Atmospheric magic concentration, magic impurity composition, adaptability to holy light environment, sulfur fire temperature, sulfur fire magic conversion rate...

The complex data made Duke, who was using it for the first time, feel dizzy. He casually took off the Mirror of Radiance and handed it to the Radiant Witch next to him, who was still covering her ears and trying to act cute.

"Here, you can borrow it to play with."

"What?"

The affinity system is a very strange feature of the system. On the surface, it seems to offer rich rewards, but in reality... the rewards that Duke gets from increasing affinity are often given to the witch being won over to use, which often maximizes the effect of the items.

For example, there's the spatial anchor that allows Amber to train with weights, the misaligned coordinates that give her extremely strong auxiliary abilities, the truth book that gives Natasha the opportunity to master the Gate of Truth, and the Voice of All Things that makes it easier for Grete to combine with his abilities.

Presumably, the Light Treasure and the items she produces are no exception. Therefore, Duke handed over the Mirror of Radiance that he had just obtained to her, hoping that she could discover the function of this item, and then took out the item that he originally intended to use.

The voice of all things.

This item is used to communicate with other intelligent races, but its effectiveness is far inferior to convenient spells such as knowing languages ​​or legends. However, given that Cecil knows nothing but Holy Light, and Duke, this half-baked spellcaster, has not learned any divination spells, they can only use the Voice of All Things as a waste of its potential.

He put on the hearing aid, then looked at the Tyrannosaurus Rex guest walking down the road, and soon heard its deafening greeting to the other Tyrannosaurus Rex:

"Uncle Baker, good evening."

"Auntie Allen, you just got your nails done?"

"Aren't these the ant doctors? Hello, Dr. Smith."

Its roar was more peaceful than Duke had imagined, but... why did it end up greeting a group of ants?

Chapter 198 The World of Tyrannosaurus Rex and Ants

The Tyrannosaurus Rex that Duke had been eyeing from the very beginning was like a random passerby in his previous life, passing by a convenience store on his way home from get off work in the evening, buying his dinner (a roasted herbivorous dragon leg) and carrying it in his mouth, while walking along the road and greeting the neighbors he knew.

But to Duke's surprise, it greeted a group of passing ants on the road, even with a hint of respect in its tone.

It's like greeting a doctor who saved your life.

Ant Doctor?

Duke's attention was immediately drawn to the ants on the ground. He squinted at the small group of ants, which could not produce anything, but they were spreading a chemical smell in the air, a substitute for words.

Although the Voice of All Things looks like a hearing aid, its underlying principle is the exclusive magic of the Cake Princess for communicating with all things. It is also effective for the language of chemical scents, and it dutifully translated the words of these ants:

"Hello, baby (Baby)." The scent emitted by each individual ant wasn't strong enough, so their communication with the Tyrannosaurus Rex had to rely on the power of the group. The ant doctors asked in unison, "Is your gastritis any better now?"

"Thanks to the help of the Ant Doctors, I feel much better."

The Tyrannosaurus Rex, nicknamed Baby, shook its head. Around its neck was some kind of machine, and judging from the constantly flashing lights on it, it was probably a translation device the Tyrannosaurus Rex used to interpret the chemical gas language of the ants. Baby spoke with its head slightly raised, as if afraid that the breath it emitted might turn into a violent storm that would destroy the ants.

Judging from its skillful and habitual practices, the ants probably integrated into the civilized world of the Tyrannosaurus Rex a very, very long time ago.

Duke only belatedly looked at the streets of this world after he overheard the conversation between the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the ant.

In the brightly lit, technologically advanced world of Tyrannosaurus Rex, ants are almost everywhere. These little guys seem insignificant compared to the ferocious and massive Tyrannosaurus Rex, but a closer look reveals that the city not only has giant buildings for Tyrannosaurus Rex, but also many miniature facilities set up for ants.

They have their own roads, sidewalks, traffic lights, and their own means of transportation (compared to the cars of Tyrannosaurus Rex, which are about the size of a building, the ants' means of transportation look more futuristic, being bioengineered powered muscles similar to power armor), and they also have their own city rules.

Two races, one extremely large and the other extremely small, coexist harmoniously in the same city, yet they seem to divide the city into two completely different worlds.

"How did this wondrous world come about? How did Tyrannosaurus Rex and ants coexist?"
