I let the genie out of the bottle

At first, it was just the babbling of a small river, but after a few breaths, it turned into the sound of surging tides.

Starting from beneath the loli demon's feet, a dark tide surged forth, rapidly spreading across the grassland.

With a light tap of her small feet on the ground, she leaped into the air, standing high above the giant wolf that Lu Ye had transformed into.

The next thing she saw, the depth of the black tide surged dramatically, engulfing everything in her field of vision.

The desolate and vast grassland was instantly transformed into a surging black ocean, inevitably bringing to mind the biblical image of God cleansing the world with a flood.

Lu Ye, who had transformed into a giant wolf swallowed by the tide, tried to escape, but the black water immediately wrapped around him, making him unable to move.

The white wolf that started was pierced into a hedgehog by the sharp blades formed from the black tide.

According to humanism, the will of a human group possesses unimaginable power, enough to distort and deform everything into the posture it deems acceptable.

But now, beneath the surging black tide—

Whether it's a curse or hatred;

Whether it's hope or prayer.

Throughout the entire mental space, all the magazines were swallowed up by this black tide. Only the purest power remained.

The black tide slowly receded, revealing muddy land and Lu Ye, whose figure was gradually returning to normal.

The loli demon slowly landed on the ground, her bare feet stepping carelessly on the muddy ground.

Her slightly furrowed brows revealed a hint of inner turmoil.

A few breaths later, her figure gradually faded into nothingness.

......

"Cough, cough." Lu Ye grabbed the sealing bottle beside him and couldn't help but cough twice.

Although he had never experienced drowning before, the feeling of his mind being directly distorted by another massive group of consciousness must have been a thousand times more painful than drowning.

It was as if it sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant, then its body exploded and was mixed evenly with the seawater.

"Hey, I'm telling you—"

He stared wide-eyed at the sealed bottle in his hand, a hint of hostility creeping into his expression.

"You just said something about 'my territory' or something—"

"When did my inner world become yours?"

This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Huh—?" Upon hearing this, the loli demon's delicate little face instantly revealed an arrogant expression.

She crossed her arms, staring with dead fish eyes, seemingly somewhat disgusted.

"Aren't you my go-to bottle opener?"

! ! ? ?

Putting aside the issue of his identity, Lu Ye did indeed feel that his physical fitness had greatly improved after waking up this time.

As for the exact extent of their development, and their combat strength in this world...

Lu Ye could only say that without practice, one has no right to speak.

Besides his physical abilities, Lu Ye could sense a power within him that he had never experienced before.

Magic, spell power, spiritual power... Although it has many names, they are essentially the same.

Moreover, he could sense that there was some other ability developing within his body.

"Could it be a power similar to authority?" Lu Ye pondered as he sensed the power within him.

To be honest, the power is more like a kind of authority granted by the mythological system than one's own strength.

Just like skills in a game, they can only be used in the corresponding game.

However, he could sense that the power slowly forming within him was not some inconvenient thing like authority.

Although it was only in its rudimentary form, Lu Ye could sense that this ability might have considerable potential.

Moreover, it is not derived from mythology, but rather an ability that evolved based on one's own personality and needs.

"Anyway, thank you for earlier." Lu Ye assessed his condition, glanced at the bottle in his hand, and said softly.

Although he had a premonition, he never expected that the power of human collective faith would be so terrifying.

He was almost powerless to resist, and his personality and memories were directly distorted.

If this loli demon hadn't removed the superfluous parts of his faith, he would probably no longer be human, but rather the so-called wolf god.

"We've made a promise." The loli demon revealed a gentle smile, which warmed everyone's heart. "Humans and demons, each getting what they need."

"When you were born, I gave you strength. When you die, I will give you freedom."

"Of course, if you really want to thank me—"

"How about we release me from the bottle now?"

The little devil winked playfully, her slender white index finger lightly touching her pink lips, looking utterly charming.

"No."

Lu Ye remained unmoved.

No matter what, we must stick to our bottom line; this is the most basic principle for living a good life.

"Tch." Her dark golden eyes instantly flashed with ferocity. She tossed her long, pale hair, revealing her true, menacing nature. "Then why did you say your mother was being disrespectful?"

Super fierce!

Well, since she reacted this way, that means—

Although she can allow a portion of her consciousness to enter her mental world, it is impossible for her to control herself and break the seal—or rather, it is absolutely impossible in the short term.

Of course, we cannot ignore the possibility that this is the other party trying to lower their guard.

So, I changed my mind.

The promise that "I will set you free before I die" will only be valid if I am about to face death.

Now that I have come to this world with supernatural powers, embarked on the path of power, and have the right to pursue immortality—

Therefore, the previous conditions were indeed a bit excessive.

So, how about we relax this condition and add another condition?

If one day, with my power, I could easily weave a cage to lock you up—

Then, I will also release you from this sealed bottle—Mozlis.

"Now that you have successfully integrated this power, what are your plans next?" The little devil, whom Lu Ye had given the name 'Mozlis', seemed to be quite devastated by being rejected once again.

However, she quickly put on a carefree act, cheered herself up again, and began to offer advice to Lu Ye: "Next, we should try to get our hands on the Sword of Mars as well, right?"

"That's true." Lu Ye nodded slightly.

Having a thirst for power, one will naturally not easily give up the opportunity to pursue it. Even if one temporarily retreats, it is only because one's current power is not enough.

However, he didn't notice.

As he acknowledged his thirst for the Sword of Mars, the white-haired loli demon lowered her head slightly.

No matter what happens, don't forget, I'm your last resort.

To avoid becoming too complacent and arousing suspicion in the other party, she swallowed those words back.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a sweet smile.

P.S.: Group number 162522812. By the way, Chapter 3 was blocked? I'm shocked...

Chapter Sixteen: Your Takeout Has Arrived! (Bonus Chapter for 1500 Recommendations)

"Da da da."

There was a knock on the door.

"Hello, guest, your pizza has arrived. Please open the door."

Slightly broken Chinese came from outside the door.

"You must have made a mistake? I don't think I ordered any pizza." Lu Ye was slightly taken aback, but immediately realized what he meant.

"But, customer, the order indicates this is the correct location."

The restaurant delivery person said with some confusion.

"Or, why don't you come out and take a look?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll open the door after I finish this game—just half a minute, I'll finish this game as soon as possible." As he said this, Lu Ye picked up the bottle from his side, stuffed it into his pocket, immediately stood up, and tiptoed to the door.

"Okay, sir, please hurry—wait, oh?"

Outside the door, the voice of the middle-aged man dressed in black abruptly stopped.

Because the door to the room was suddenly opened, and then a fist slammed into his face without hesitation, making him dizzy and seeing stars.

Then, a hand pulled out the sword hanging at his waist, pressed him down on the back, and finally kicked him hard in the back.

"Idiot." Lu Ye gradually increased the pressure on his foot, his tone carrying a hint of complaint. "The restaurant delivered to the wrong place, and the customer just happened to speak Chinese—do you think I'm stupid?"

"Also, here's a piece of advice—next time, please remember not to lie to someone who is worried about not having money for food and say that you have brought them food."

"Ugh, ugh, ugh—" The middle-aged man, struggling to breathe because his back was being pressed down hard, let out a muffled whimper.

"Well, I have a few questions I'd like to ask," Lu Ye said, lightening the pressure on his feet slightly.

However, it seemed that the weakening of the force behind him gave him hope of breaking free, and the middle-aged man under Lu Ye's feet immediately began to struggle desperately.

"Calm down a bit." Lu Ye's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction, and in a retaliatory instant, he increased the force of his foot, making the other man feel a churning sensation in his stomach.

After that, Lu Ye casually draped the sword he had just snatched over Lu Ye's shoulder.

After completing this series of actions, Lu Ye realized that his series of reactions were surprisingly fluent.

Moreover, he had no aversion to any of the steps involved.

"Question one, what is your purpose in coming here?" Lu Ye asked calmly.

The Italian man under his feet gritted his teeth, looking brave and fearless.

"Please answer," Lu Ye said in a low voice, while pressing the sword against his neck. "This question may be irrelevant to me, but it might mean you won't be able to drink red wine or eat pasta anymore. Please think it over carefully."

“I…I’ll talk.” The man, dressed like an Italian gangster, gritted his teeth and then decided to resolutely defend his right to live.

"Because I sensed fluctuations in magic power earlier, I decided to investigate under the guise of delivering food."

"The fluctuations in magic power... it seems I need to find another place." Lu Ye nodded, indicating his understanding.

It seems that it was the magical energy fluctuations that I unconsciously emitted when I fused with the power of the divine artifact.

When he regained consciousness, he saw the terrible state of the room. Both the bed and the floor looked as if they had been dehydrated and weathered.

If even a nobody like him can sense something amiss, then if he doesn't leave soon, the arrival of a true master won't be far off.

Question two: Which organization do you belong to?

"I am—the Bronze Black Cross."

This time, his hesitation was quite brief.

"Question three, did you bring any money?" Lu Ye asked bluntly.

"Yes, I brought it." The middle-aged Italian man, who was being trampled underfoot, paused for a moment, then, feeling the sharp edge near his neck, he could only answer honestly.

"Take it out," Lu Ye said without any politeness.

Following one's heart is like cross-dressing; those who have followed their heart the first time often find it easier to do so a second time.

He closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth, pulled a wallet from his pocket, and held it up with trembling hands.

"Here, here you go."

Her voice trembled slightly, filled with longing and reluctance.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your wallet, I won't even touch it," Lu Ye reassured him.
