[TIMER: 49.9 SECONDS...]
Locked inside the ten-thousand-foot black-iron elementary school desk in the center of Floor Eight’s classroom domain, the Omni-Protagonist Amalgamation Monster thrashed wildly. Meanwhile, twenty thousand of its gaudy golden Plot Halos dissolved into lemon-and-ginger soap bubbles.
Up on the high gallery of Floor Nine’s staircase, the Chief Author of Fate slammed his blood-soaked fist down onto the second emergency button on his crystal console. The button labeled [HAREM & REGRESSION DOUBLE OVERRIDE]!
“SO WHAT IF YOU BLOCKED THEIR CATCHPHRASES?!” the Chief Author shrieked, his voice echoing frantically across the classroom ceiling.
“A protagonist doesn’t just rely on trash talk! Chu Tian, activate your fifteen thousand [Pink Peach-Blossom Harem & Aphrodisiac Halos] to charm their minds into submission! Qian Ye, activate your fifteen thousand [Regressor’s Future-Sight & Plagiarism Halos] to predict every single move those brats make for the next ten years!
TURN THE TABLES NOW!!”
HUMMMMMM—WHOOSH!!
On the monster’s right shoulder, the second head—Chu Tian, the sleazy Godly Doctor Harem King—managed to cough half a bar of laundry soap to the side of his cheek.
