The dark purple pupils suddenly went out, and Xu Yi’s formidable presence vanished. The restrained black hound regained its ability to move and lunged at Annabelle with terrifying electrical tendrils.
Thankfully, in the next second, Xu Yi’s pupils lit up again, and the black hound was once more frozen in mid-air.
Just now, Xu Yi’s ability had gone out of control!
Dark Force, Domain Soul, body… These three seemed to have merged, but in reality, there was a significant gap between them, like strangers living under the same roof.
There was still something very important missing for the three to truly merge, and Xu Yi had no idea what it was for the time being.
This information was worth its weight in gold. The data provided by the Gate of Truth did not mention this.
It wasn’t that the Gate of Truth was obstructing; rather, there were too few examples of becoming a foreign god, so it was reasonable for the Gate of Truth to lack complete information.
Of course, it might also be because none of the three had met the conditions yet.
"This power can probably only be used once," Xu Yi realized clearly.
But the question was, how should this power be used?
To kill the black hound before him would be meaningless.
After killing this one black hound, there would still be many more to come.
He could also use this power to send Annabelle away.
But they had finally entered this place, and leaving now would mean all their efforts had been in vain.
Xu Yi’s senses had become exceptionally sharp at this moment; he could already sense the Black Abyss army’s approach. There wasn’t much time left for him to think.
Then, a spark of inspiration struck his mind; he knew where to use this one-off power.
Ferocious energy erupted from his body, sweeping out in all directions.
At the same time, the elevator rumbled downwards, and the Black Abyss army was about to arrive at the seabed base.
The moment the elevator doors opened, the Black Abyss army felt a sudden chill in their bodies. They gripped their weapons tightly, ready for combat.
But as time ticked by, nothing happened.
The Black Abyss army arrived at the scene and breathed a sigh of relief.
A puppet had been torn to shreds by the black hound, debris scattered everywhere. The black hound reverted to its original form, its red pupils flickering, not detecting any hidden enemies.
"Requesting reinforcements! Sector b502 requesting reinforcements!"
The cries for help echoed in the ears of the Black Abyss army. They turned in unison and ran to another battlefield.
...
Amidst the howling winds, Xu Yi watched the skies warily, as blades whirled at high speed creating a violent tornado.
He and Annabelle were in what had been referred to as the "Crusher" earlier.
Annabelle was unharmed, for the black hound had only shredded one of her Substitutes.
There were not just one of those substitutes; several spares were kept in the toy space.
The power of the "Crusher" was far superior to that of the Furnace, otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to slice through those terrifying organic tissues, but after all, it was just a machine, and being a machine meant there were blind spots.
Annabelle made herself as small as a grain of rice, firmly adhering to the outermost ring of the Crusher, just barely avoiding the blades’ cuts.
Xu Yi was not nervous because of the blades’ impressive cutting force, but rather because of the patches of skin in front of him.
If any of these skin tissues had even a hint of activity, they wouldn’t need to attack actively — the radiation emitted from them would be enough to completely paralyze Annabelle.
Thankfully, the skin truly was dead material, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The lid of the Crusher was made of a "glass" similar to the Magic-Prohibiting Box, but it did not possess the function to prohibit magic because its base was metallic.
Xu Yi had wanted Annabelle to collect some of the skin tissue, but just as the thought arose, his sixth sense suddenly kicked in, giving him a feeling of palpitations.
He immediately stopped Annabelle, his soul about to grow into a "Soul Master," his Sixth Sense genuinely capable of acting as an early warning.
The Crusher was near a sealed state, and entering its interior was not simple. Annabelle was able to get in here, of course, because of Xu Yi’s "pseudo foreign god" one-time experience card.
He forcibly stopped the high-speed rotating blades, allowing Annabelle to slip in through the gap in the axle.
"The most dangerous place is often the safest,"
With this philosophy in mind, Xu Yi made the adventurous decision to hide Annabelle inside the Crusher.
In fact, he had this idea the moment he saw the skin tissue.
The magnetic field emitted by these skin tissues could definitely interfere with the Black Hound’s perception because the original owner of the skin tissue was simply too terrifying.
The result proved his prediction correct.
If the power of the "Pseudo-Alien God" merely stopped the blades and sent Annabelle inside, that would be far too childish.
In reality, when Xu Yi was in the "Pseudo-Alien God" state, doing these things hardly took any effort.
What that power could achieve was far more than that.
"The real effort comes at night!" Xu Yi secretly anticipated.

Late at night, Caiden lay in bed exhausted, not wanting to move a muscle.
He had finished attending Bob’s banquet, returned to the base all happy, and was planning to rest for a few days when unexpectedly, an intruder appeared in the base.
That guy was truly troublesome!
It wasn’t that the opponent was too scary, but that he was too slippery; they had expended a great deal of energy to deal with him.
"Who knows which damn guy let the intruder sneak in!"
Caiden complained inwardly, completely unaware that he was cursing himself.
Drowsiness overwhelmed him, and Caiden fell soundly asleep. Between wakefulness and dreams, he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it at this late hour?" Caiden asked angrily, especially grumpy after being woken up.
"We’ve received emergency orders from superiors. Another intruder is suspected; search the entire base!" came an icy voice from outside the door.
Since it was an order from higher-ups, Caiden, despite being full of complaints, had no choice but to get up.
"Where’s my document case?" Caiden’s gaze swept over the side of his bed, and he paused in confusion.
He remembered clearly placing the document case by his bed before sleeping, so why was it missing now?
As he pondered, he suddenly found the document case in the corner of the bed.
"How did I not notice that just now?" Caiden muttered quietly.
But he didn’t give it much thought, assuming it was because he had just woken up and was still dazed.
Caiden grabbed the document case, which suddenly "came to life," melting like wax and spreading over his body. In moments, he was completely enveloped by armor.
By its design, the armor closely resembled that of the Black Abyss, but it was adorned with many red flame-like patterns.
This was the new combat gear: "Red Devil."
Clothed in the Red Devil armor, Caiden stepped out into the corridor outside his room. He felt something was slightly off but couldn’t pinpoint the problem.
Moments later, he brushed the thought aside. Wearing the Red Devil armor, he wouldn’t be affected by illusions or strange abilities.
But what Caiden didn’t know was that what he was wearing wasn’t the real Red Devil armor at all.
He was currently in the Domain of Dreams, with his real body still lying on the large bed in his room, sound asleep.
Tonight, it wasn’t just Caiden who had fallen into the Dream World; the majority of the Black Abyss military personnel were dreaming.
They each woke up within the base but experienced different dreams, some patrolling, some transporting materials, some repairing equipment...
The reason they all fell into dreams simultaneously was naturally because of Xu Yi.
Using that force, Xu Yi unfolded the "Domain of Dreams" and planted "Dream Seeds" within everyone’s bodies.
The ability of the "Dream Seed" is quite common in the Dream World; many Dream Lords possess it, let alone Xu Yi at this moment.
However, no Dream Lord has ever been able to implant a Dream Seed through the Black Abyss attire.
It was only with the one-time power of the "Pseudo-Alien God" that Xu Yi managed to do this.
