Then instantly, the scene in the Sight displayed that huge, pale, tender, drooling head.
"(ΩДΩ)!!!"
Instantly, all current viewers of the live broadcast screamed in terror.
Even the footage visibly shuddered, rapidly pulling back at an unimaginable speed, not daring to get close.
"It's that Root Headhunter from before!! It's that Origin-Level Monster (ΩДΩ)!!"
"You've got to be kidding! Impossible!! Could it be that monster didn't come to Wandering Souls Alley to kill, but was actually invited by that guy Lynn?!"
"How is this possible!!"

Lynn listened dumbfounded to the system notifications ringing in his ears.
Little One slurp-slurped as she extended her long tongue to lick her lips, excitedly saying:
"This is—takeout—so much—such abundant meat—already—can't hold back—"
"Don't worry, Little One, no one will compete with you. They're all yours."
Lynn reached out and rubbed the head's cheek.
Mechanus stared rigidly and tremblingly at the head that had descended before the human, mouth agape, mind buzzing.
"Ori... Origin-Level... How... how could..."
He retreated step by step in terror, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
"This can't be..."
[Ding! Mechanus's fear of you +10]
Lynn slowly stepped forward, picking up the two eyeballs from the Flesh Puppet on the ground.
He rolled them in his hand.
He gazed deeply at Mechanus and said:
"You all called for backup, so of course I couldn't fall behind. If I really had no preparations, do you think I'd stand so openly before you like this?"
He adjusted his monocle and said seriously:
"I already said it was two kings with three bombs, yet you still didn't run. Are you looking down on me!"

Lynn: "..."
Mechanus retreated trembling, his eyes reflecting the massive Headhunter while also watching the Flesh Puppet that had been crushed into bloody pulp and its twitching hand.
His ears continuously received urgent warnings from the other Flesh Puppet.
"Target analysis... Origin-Level... Highest level warning... Cannot resist... Cannot devour..."
"Combat victory probability analysis... 0%... Devour success rate analysis... 0%... Recommend immediate escape..."
"Escape immediately..."
And at this moment, Mechanus finally reacted, turning around with a furious roar:
"Run!!"
In that instant, Mechanus erupted with the fastest reaction speed of his entire life.
He turned around at unimaginable speed, sprinting wildly back the way he came like the wind.
Seeing this, Lynn grinned and said:
"Little One! I'll leave the rest to you, eat to your heart's content! If you're still hungry, I'll take you to their nest to eat more!"
Little One said joyfully: "Mhmm—"
Instantly, Little One opened her mouth in extreme delight, countless tentacles rushing forth like a tidal wave toward the Hunters on the street.
After sweeping them up, she placed them in her mouth—crunchy crisp, chicken flavor.
"Mmm—so delicious—besides the meaty fragrance—there's also a metallic chewiness—so tasty!"
Little One (✪‸✪) was ecstatically surprised.
[Ding! Little One ate one Hunter, favorability +1 toward you]
For a time, the entire Wandering Souls Alley became a paradise for diners.
Hunter after Hunter screamed chaotically as they fled frantically after Mechanus, while a few reckless Hunters courageously charged forward, slashing at Little One's nose with their blades, only to have them shatter.
Crunch—
Little One happily (T ^ T) coiled up one after another to eat them, the feeling of being treated so generously by a doctor she quite liked truly overflowing from her heart now.
Must eat every single one.
Can't let any go to waste, really... really so happy!
Besides Uncle Horn before, nobody had ever treated Little One so lavishly!
In the Sight, seeing this instantly reversed situation, all viewers collectively (ΩДΩ)'d.
"Indeed! That Root Headhunter was summoned by Lynn!"
"I actually... in my lifetime I actually got to witness an Origin-Level monster's feeding scene! I... I've made something of myself!"
"It's just like eating little chicks... this... this..."
"Wait a minute, do you remember some time ago when three Headhunters ate many creatures in our area but didn't touch Wandering Souls Alley? Could it be..."
"Could it be because of that apprentice's connection?!"
As these words were spoken, all residents of Wandering Souls Alley froze in shock.
Right.
Now that they mentioned it, they suddenly understood.
No wonder! That explains it!
So that means, if not for that youth named Lynn in their Wandering Souls Alley, they probably would have already...
And in the next moment, when their gaze returned to the footage, they were instantly shocked.
Because in the footage.
That massive Root Headhunter suddenly extended a tentacle, coiled it around Lynn's waist, placed him on top of her head, then ٩(๑＞◡＜๑)۶ hopped and skipped as she chased after those daring-to-flee foods.
"Holy crap (ΩДΩ)!!"
"No way! That Origin-Level Headhunter actually... actually let him ride her willingly!!"
"What exactly is their relationship! This definitely can't be just simple acquaintances!"
"Mind blown! He's probably the first human in history brave enough to ride on an Origin-Level monster's head!"
"Root Knight!!"
Witnessing this terrifying scene, everyone trembled on the verge of having their minds shattered.
Because this truly exceeded all their understanding!
This was like a world-famous Loli Queen suddenly arriving in their backwater ghost town, then saying to your neighbor's ordinary, simple son:
Come on, ride me!
No matter how you think about it, this is a worldview-shattering terrifying scene!
