Hundreds of various monsters were sprawled out across the bloodiedndscapethendscape that was once a beautiful green forest had now be nothing more than the bloodied aftermath of an insatiably voracious slime.
A slime who was currently in the middle of devouring every monster that it killed had its small body distorted and transformed into something thousands of times its size as it traveled around the battleground like a bottomless vacuum.
...
"Mhmu!" It''s cute sounds squeaked out as it looked around and saw that every monster it had killed had already been consumed by it''s ckhole-like stomach.
It anxiously looked around, trying to find something that it could devour. That was when it saw the main course of this entire ''buffet''.
"Mhmu! Mhmu" Its excited expression morphed into one of apprehension as it stared down the farrger corpse of the colossal Troll.
It didn''t know if it could consume the entirety of such arge monster in one gulp...
That one was hundreds of timesrger than the corpses of these ''mob'' monsters after all.
''...''
Those ''mob'' monsters in the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm would definitely be rolling in their graves right now if they heard such tant impertinencee from the small ck slimes'' thoughts.
"Mhmu!" Emu built up its courage as it looked the enormous corpse up and down before extending its warped mouth as far as it could go!
**Whoop!** **Chomp!**
It''s ''mouth'' barely made it around the entire Trolls body, as before anyone knew any better, the corpse disappeared in but an instant.
**Chew chew!**
An eerie crunching sound soon followed as Emu consumed the entire existence of the Tro troll that could''ve ruled over a medium-sized kingdom if it so chose to be had been consumed like an appetizer for a tiny ck and gold slime...
"Mhmu!" It seemed more than satisfied with such a delicious meal, as if it felt like this round of eatings could hold it through the ''tough'' months toe.
After it made it thought the ''hard'' times where Azmond focused on cultivation, it would then be able to go out and hunt even stronger monsters with itspanion!
It couldn''t begin to articte just how much it was anticipating such a glorious momentthe moment when it and itspanion would hunt every single thing that held even the slightest animosity for them!
...
"Hmm" Azmond watched Emu go through a multitude of various emotions with an inquisitive look on his face.
"It looks like he has had quite the mealid out for himself... I was nning on taking that corpse and selling it when I made it to arge, cosmopolitan-like human settlement. However, it looks like I can''t do that now." He said with an exasperated tone.
"... Well, it is what it is. I guess this situation works out quite well too. Gaining an even strongerpanion will only benefit me for the most part, plus I have the vague feeling that Emu can add to my personalbat power in some way unbeknownst to the current me."
His thoughts swirled around for a moment before he was suddenly reminded of something.
"Hmm. I might as well check the interface of that little troublemaker while I''m waiting for my breakthrough''s remnant energies to subside."
Following such words was the subsequent activation of his Discerning Quantum Eye.
A bright light shed as an extensive pop-up appeared in his vision.
[Emu: {[Tier 0: Level 89, {[Stats: Strength: 3456, Defense: 3568, Qi: 5656]}, {[Development Phase: Adult]}, {[Main Abilities: Body Morph: Can morph into the shape of anything imaginable (stats of what it morphs into increase with every level or exterior amplification of ''Emu''), {[Unlimited Devour: Can devour and assimte anything in existence}], {[Other Skills: Possesses the entire life''s umtions of every existence it consumes and assimtes, so the number of skills it possesses is already incalcble]}, Description: Existence-Bonded-Companion of the User of the ''Boundless System''.
Origin: ????, Background: ????, Potential: ???]
"..." He was more than a little baffled by the unbelievable sight presented in front of him.
The little buddy he had been ying around with already surpassed his level before he even knew what happened
"..."
''Is Emu really the main character of the story?''
He couldn''t think of any other conclusions that would allow him to make this make sense...
How else could Emu already be 89 levels into Tier 0, with its stats already so absurdly high???
Those stats didn''t just corrte to an additive increase, no. They were a multiplicative increase, and every point further in each stat was a tremendous increase to the respective area of improvement.
Emu''s stats skyrocketing straight up from the hundreds to the thousands was more than a ten-fold increase in strength.
It had to be approaching the thousands or even tens of thousands of fold increases
It wouldn''t be an understatement to say that Emu now had the strength of a master cultivator in the initial stages of the Half-Step Void Refining Realmmeaning it hadpletely absorbed the entire existence that was the colossal Troll!
"This harmless-looking slime is the true monster here" He said with a wry smile before turning his attention back to his still ongoing breakthrough into the Late-Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm.
A slightlypetitive smirk emerged on his usually stoic face as he felt a growing urge to increase his strength even faster than before!
''I can''t allow that little guy to get stronger than me, now can I?? I refuse to be weaker than my little Emu.''
His resolve red up like an unstoppable eruption as he perfected his breakthrough into the Late-Quantum Foundation Establishment Realm!
**Whoosh!** **Whoosh!**
The Qi bombarded him onest time in a dazzling attempt to thwart his impending breakthrough!
Dark red blood gushed out of his body in massive quantities as his sturdy body began to fall apart from the inside out!
"Tch." He clicked his tongue through gritted teeth as he ''noticed'' half of his body was no longer there.
