She turned her back slightly, and with a delicate, sculpting motion, she dissected the abdomen of the body, from which she took out a clear mirror that resembled crystallized snowflakes, encompassing the full appearance of each doll.

Those humans and demi-humans who had lost their facial features seemed to be activated by an electric current, silently raising their heads, but their blank faces remained unchanged.

Kokot noticed this subtle change.

Those bodies were still not endowed with any consciousness; they were merely puppets manipulated by external forces, devoid of any self-awareness.

However, unlike before, these lifelike puppets are becoming more and more agile in their movements, as if they have been given life.

Victor looked calmly at Mary Deem and said with a hint of indifference:

"You should know what your job is."

Mary Dim nodded and bowed to Victor again.

Behind her, the blank-faced puppets, imitating Mary Dim, all knelt down on one knee.

"certainly."

"Follow your wishes."

Victor nodded and turned to look at Coco.

Cocotte was completely bewildered; she still didn't understand what Victor was going to do.

"Do you remember the previous dungeon, Kokot?"

Kokot was stunned. Hearing Victor say this, Kokot's heart trembled violently.

Those painful memories began to resurface in her mind.

One person, one night, one pair of hands, one miracle.

Kokote thought back to that night when she opened nearly twenty different dimensions all by herself.

Those desolate alternate dimensions were like the loneliness in her heart, so empty that no one cared.

The only source of life was the flowers and green grass she had personally planted in every corner of the space.

Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground like a weary little fish. Yunduo struggled to lift her up, but slipped due to extreme fatigue, hitting her head on the ground and causing a bulging bump.

With a wry smile, I struggled to climb onto the back of the cloud, healing myself in solitude.

She felt as if she had never been so exhausted, her whole being felt as if it had been wrung out.

The memory abruptly ended, and Cocotte's body involuntarily trembled.

She suddenly realized that what Victor meant by working overtime was this.

Seemingly seeing through Cocot's thoughts, Victor looked at her calmly and said firmly:

"Create more space, just like before."

“Meredim will assist you.”

After Victor finished speaking, Mary Dim gave Cocotte a very polite smile.

Kokot was completely petrified, as if struck by lightning, and stood frozen in place with his eyes wide open in despair.

Then, Viktor's voice rang out:

"But don't get any funny ideas."

This was said to Marilyn Dim.

The moment the words fell, white lightning flashed above the heart of the Tree of Adrien, and a violent storm raged throughout the entire space.

Amidst the storm, a deep blue dragon gradually materialized under the combined influence of magic and natural energy. Its flesh and bones were reshaped, and the dragon, riding the power of the storm, hovered in mid-air.

Its abyss-like giant eyes stared directly at Merry Dim, its imposing presence overwhelming and impossible to look directly at.

Sensing the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere, Mary Dim narrowed her eyes and stared at the dragon.

However, Cocotte was even more confused.

Holy crap, Storm Dragon King?

She was extremely familiar with this thing.

When she first met Victor, the two witnessed the magnificence of the beast together.

Back then... it was when Victor had just arrived at Magic Canyon...

What happened next was rather bloody.

Cocotte quickly shook his head, stopping his recollection.

But how did the Storm Dragon King enter the Tree of Adrien and merge with its heart?

What exactly happened?

Koko's eyes were full of question marks.

What strange things did Victor do behind her back?

"And you, Cocotte."

Victor turned to look at her and said:

"Don't be lazy."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Cocotte immediately sat up straight.

She didn't want Victor to one day be unhappy and merge her with some strange thing.

At least when she's not lazy, she isn't lazy.

After Victor finished explaining everything, a sudden gust of wind swept through the entire Divine Tree space.

Clouds rolled by, obscuring the entire space.

When the white smoke dissipated, Victor had already vanished without a trace.

After Victor left, Mary Dim turned around and smiled at Cocotte.

In her eyes, it seemed as if a blue flame of the soul was burning, gradually rising.

"Looks like we're colleagues now."

"Please take good care of me, Your Majesty."

Cocotte looked at Mary Dim and felt a chill run down his spine.

"Colleague? I don't want to work with someone like you whose gender is so ambiguous."

"But that's just how it is."

Mary Dim chuckled, and then, a fleshy mass, like a tentacle, rolled up from behind her and completely engulfed her.

The next moment, Merry Dim changed into a completely different look.

He was dressed in a black suit, tall and straight, wearing white gloves and carrying an ebony cane, looking very gentlemanly.

He took off his tall top hat and bowed to Cocotte.

Koko looked up at the top of his head and saw a crow's head.
