Observing up close, they finally saw the newcomer’s appearance clearly.
Unlike the ferocious magical creature Angel imagined, this Second-class Citizen was a fairy-tale-styled pink octopus.
Its delicate appearance, dreamy color scheme, and sapphire-esque, angular eyes not only didn’t exude much of a threat but seemed quite adorable.
Of course, Angel also understood that the cuteness might just be one of its disguises.
The immense pressure, coupled with the Observers’ solemn expressions, all indicate its terrifying nature.
"Observer, we meet again, Shula~" A baby-like soft voice emerged from the mouth of a pink octopus.
The Observer snorted coldly, unwilling to speak.
Yet it insisted, "Are you ignoring me because you look down on me, Shula?"
"Polo Ye, whether you’re pretending to be ignorant or just being difficult, I’ve made it clear before. Since you’ve come to the Southern Domain, you’d better follow the rules, or else..." The Observer sneered and stopped speaking.
"Shula shula, not only do you look down on me, but you also threaten me! I’ll inform the Lord of the City, and then he’ll surely make your skull into a wine glass!" Polo Ye’s malicious words sounded almost playful.
"Do as you please; if you overstep, I don’t care who you are, I will fulfill my duty."
"How will you fulfill it, Shula? Record my actions, send them to the Orderly Guild, have everyone condemn me? Or do you plan to fight me?"
The Observer glanced at Polo Ye with curiosity, feeling something amiss, sensing Polo Ye appeared more lucid than before in the Void.
Perhaps it was just his illusion?
"What I do depends on how far you go. If you merely target your mission objective, I won’t interfere, but if you cross the line, I’ll assess based on your actions."
Polo Ye smiled slyly, "What constitutes crossing the line? To what extent must I go for you to act against me?"
The Observer remained silent.
At this moment, Polo Ye turned to Sanders and the others: "If I kill them, will you intervene?"
Everyone’s expressions changed, while the Observer frowned but still said nothing.
Polo Ye was merely probing, naturally not intending to kill Sanders; he had no interest in these minor figures... However, just as he was about to shift his gaze, the City Lord suddenly spoke in his mind: "That little guy seems interesting."
Little guy? Polo Ye paused, following the City Lord’s guidance to look at someone.
It was a Wizard who had used a Shapeshifting Technique; despite the technique making him appear worn, Polo Ye immediately saw through the core as merely a child under twenty.
For beings with long lifespans, twenty truly is just a "child."
"The green Pattern surrounding him, and the Domain Field constructed by it, are quite fascinating. It seems to be the power originating from that world," the City Lord said softly in Polo Ye’s mind.
That world! A flash of fear crossed Polo Ye’s eyes but was quickly concealed: "Is he related to that world? Should we capture him?"
City Lord: "No need. I received some information from the Orderly Guild previously; the Southern Domain has been touched by that world in many places, so the appearance of a Power System here is normal. Perhaps he’s just a lucky one who encountered some opportunity."
Polo Ye thought: "In that case, after finishing the target, it’s worth investigating."
"Wait until you complete your mission," the City Lord smiled, saying no more.
The dialogue between Polo Ye and the City Lord remained unbeknownst to outsiders, including the Observer. Had the Observer known Gluz Deward sent a Divine Thought here, he wouldn’t remain calmly.
Polo Ye stared intently at Angel for several seconds, making others feel something was amiss, even Angel felt a bit fearful... concerned Toby might be exposed?
Sanders and Nis exchanged glances; if Polo Ye truly became interested in Angel, they’d have to prepare to take Angel and escape.
Angel was crucial for the Illusion Demon Island and Barbarian Cave, absolutely unable to encounter any mishaps here.
Fortunately, Polo Ye ultimately said nothing further, shifting his gaze away from Angel.
"Shula, killing these people seems not to move you. But what about it?" Polo Ye turned his gaze to 03 in the distance.
Upon arriving in the Southern Domain, he detected a chaotic fluctuation, hence he left 01 and came to the Observer. His purpose wasn’t chitchat, but merely a desire for the Mysterious Object.
This is also Gluz Deward’s intention.
For beings like them who possess Extraordinary Life, no one despises Mysterious Objects, even if some aren’t suitable for living creatures and might hold great fear, they can’t stop their yearning for Mysterious Objects. Unable to use them, they become subjects for study; once they encounter a compatible one, the impact is extraordinary, instantly enhancing their foundation. Gluz Deward’s rise is attributed to a Mysterious Object—the Growth Ray on the Isle of Crystal Night.
Therefore, Polo Ye couldn’t ignore the Mysterious Fruit atop 03.
The Observer took a deep look at Polo Ye, seemingly understanding his intent: "You’ve come over, and your target isn’t me, it’s it, isn’t it?"
"Shula."
The Observer contemplated before speaking: "Before it completely goes chaotic, if you can obtain it without violating the Southern Domain’s rules, I won’t stop you."
"What if it becomes chaotic?"
The Observer answered calmly: "If you’re still alive, you can still take it away."
Polo Ye was momentarily stunned, then two seconds later burst into laughter: "How could I die?"
The Observer didn’t reply, simply observing Polo Ye in silence. Regarding the Mysterious Object’s ownership, he had no strong opinions. If Polo Ye could truly take it away, let him have it.
However, Mysterious Objects aren’t easily obtained.
Upon discovering a chaotic Mysterious Object, Mystic Hunters often spend months, years, or even decades observing, summarizing the object’s patterns before daring to act.
Polo Ye lacked preparation, his chances of obtaining a chaotic Mysterious Object were slim.
Of course, if you’re highly compatible, it might be possible to quickly obtain it, but it’s rare. Typically, regular Mysterious Objects are few, half-chaotic and truly chaotic ones are rarer.
"If you want to get it, now you may proceed; I won’t stop you," the Observer remarked.
Polo Ye didn’t move; he came to confirm whether the Observer would intervene, and since he wouldn’t, Polo Ye would naturally strategize to obtain it.
Additionally, he’s not impulsive, with the City Lord’s Divine Thought within him, he’s keenly aware of the dangers of chaotic Mysterious Objects. Before acquiring one, understanding its effects is crucial.
Though difficult for him to estimate, the City Lord can. Acquiring a Mysterious Object isn’t instantaneous and requires some time.
There’s no rush, so settle 01 first.
After all, 01 is his true objective this time.
Furthermore, aware of 01’s schemes thanks to the City Lord’s hint, he surely won’t let time slip by, providing 01 a chance for survival.
After resolving 01’s issue, acquiring the Mysterious Object won’t be late.
Upon this consideration, Polo Ye said no more to the Observer, uttering "Shula shula," he then departed, heading toward the laboratory.
