Seeing that the intense "fatherly love" of the Bloodsaw was about to overflow.
The Doll Lady quickly stretched out her hand, grinding her teeth with a clicking sound, and said: "Wait a moment. Don't be in such a hurry to overflow. So what happened next? Why did we see you riding that root-level creature and wiping out the entire Demon Association?"
Ryan was startled. He turned his head to look at the three-meter-tall, curvaceous lady.
He was stunned for a moment and said: "Teacher, who is this..."
The Bloodsaw looked up and closed his eyes, saying: "My mistress!"
Smack -
Ryan stared at his teacher with smoke rising from his head in shock. He stretched out his hand to poke him, then quickly withdrew his finger, not daring to move again.
The Doll Lady closed her eyes, clenching her fists with a clicking sound, her chest heaving.
"Can't you use a more refined word?"
Ryan was astonished.
So that's how it is.
Sure enough, he really is the teacher!
And looking at his skills, without decades of practice, one might not be able to get along with him!
Fortunately, I don't have such a hobby.
Teacher is so perverted!
And why does it always feel like a certain eight-foot-tall lady?
This...
Ryan subconsciously grabbed the fly swatter on the counter...
"Yes."
The Bloodsaw got up from the ground, touched the smoking red handprint on his bald head, and said seriously:
"The Demon Association is such a large organization, and it was wiped out in just one day. How could you have such great abilities? It's not like you before!"
After all.
In his impression.
His apprentice used to be a well-behaved, sensible, and very obedient good child.
Ryan sighed and said: "It seems that both of you, teacher, already know about it..."
He let out a melancholic breath and then simply and clearly told the teacher and his mistress about his experiences in these past few days.
Of course, he omitted many things.
For example, his system. As for the powerful potion that could cause mutations in people, he also explained that he got it accidentally from a wandering merchant.
After trying hard to make the logical relationships sound reasonable, Ryan vividly told the story of his experiences in these past few days with added details.
After listening, both the Bloodsaw and the Doll Lady were full of astonishment in their eyes.
Especially the part where he fought against the Flesh Puppet, which even made them feel thrilling and terrifying.
"Is this... the reason why you wrote to the teacher overnight?"
The Bloodsaw was astonished.
Ryan looked up, closed his eyes, and said melancholically: "Yes. At the time when I wrote to you, your apprentice really had the intention of dying. I didn't even sleep well."
"If it weren't for that headhunter receiving my letter and being quickly coaxed over by me, what you would see now wouldn't be your apprentice."
"But a pile of meat chunks that couldn't even be stitched together."
Ryan wiped his red eyes.
"As for the things that happened later, it was completely because the Demon Association was too arrogant and angered the family of that headhunter. So their fate was pretty much sealed!"
The Bloodsaw and the Doll Lady looked at each other.
They always felt it was really outrageous.
But everything seemed to be okay.
Because no matter how you think about it, an ordinary apprentice in a pharmacy could never be associated with a behemoth like a headhunter.
Could it be that...
Was it really all because of this young man's quick-witted response ability and a passionate and dedicated heart?
"Teacher, what about you?"
Ryan sat cross-legged on the ground and asked curiously.
"That day you said you were going out. How did you get involved with the Demon Association later?"
The Bloodsaw gave a bitter smile and said: "Alas, it all started with me. You probably don't know yet. I used to be an elder of the Demon Association."
Ryan nodded, putting on an appearance of listening attentively.
He wasn't surprised.
From the information he had obtained in these past few days, he actually already had a rough idea of the teacher's identity.
The Bloodsaw looked up and said:
"A few days ago, I suddenly received an invitation from an old friend. He said that a research I had always been interested in had made a great breakthrough recently. So he wanted to invite me to gather at The Hanged Tower."
"I didn't think much about it. Although I hadn't been to The Hanged Tower for ten years, I never expected that what was waiting for me wasn't any research discussion but a coup."
The scene at that time emerged in his mind again.
Including him.
All the retired elders who had followed the old president to found the Demon Association were also invited to The Hanged Tower.
And it was there that the Heart-devouring Demon, who had already inherited the position of the association's president, announced the restart of the "Colossus Plan" to them.
"Colossus Plan?" Ryan hesitated, his heart stirring slightly.
"Yes."
The Bloodsaw sighed, his voice low.
"Since the Demon Association is gone, it doesn't matter if I tell you about it."
Then he explained the general idea of the "Colossus Plan" to Ryan from beginning to end.
Starting from when they discovered a creation of a fallen technological civilization back then, until they analyzed out various technologies and knowledge from it.
And all the knowledge pointed to that...
Colossus!
"Although we didn't quite understand." The Bloodsaw said solemnly:
"But after subsequent research and analysis, both we and the president vaguely sensed that that Colossus, which was shattered in our world... might even have a terrifying power beyond the root level..."
"And the most frightening thing is that the Colossus is actually an artificial object, a terrifying weapon that combines machinery and flesh..."
"Can you imagine what that means for an organization that specializes in machinery and modification?"
Ryan's eyes were deep.
Fanaticism!
Yes.
It was like a group of lolicon who were locked in a pitch-black cage with only male creatures around them. Suddenly, one day, a cute little lolita appeared in front of them through a crack.
The excitement and wildness were definitely not something an ordinary pervert could understand.
It was almost like light!
"Understand!" Ryan nodded.
The Bloodsaw took a deep breath and said: "So there was the Colossus Plan. All resources began to converge towards that plan. We searched for the fragments of that Colossus throughout the world one after another and were fanatically eager to reassemble it."
"This lasted for hundreds of years."
Ryan's heart stirred slightly, and he said: "Then why was it put on hold later?"
The Bloodsaw seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, with a complex expression, and said:
"Because we analyzed out some things."
A war.
A vast war that spread across countless worlds and civilizations.
It broke out at that node three thousand years ago.
And the technological civilization that possessed the Colossus could already be regarded as one of the peak civilizations standing at the highest point of countless worlds at that time. With the blessing of Colossus technology, they were even on a par with the gods.
But even so, they failed.
The entire civilization was destroyed, and the proud flesh and machinery Colossus also shattered with a rumble and fell into this dark world.
The Bloodsaw said complexly: "A curse! We had a strong premonition."
"If we really managed to bring the Colossus back to life one day, a certain terrifying curse would be triggered!"
"As if some existence didn't allow the Colossus to reappear."
