Chapter 199: Sorry to interrupt, please carry on
Before Lu Yao could act, a dozen or so tiny figures emerged from the cracks in the Overlap Zone.
Dressed uniformly in black, they looked around cautiously.
The janitorial hamster nearby paid them no mind, indicating that dealing with these stowaways wasn’t its responsibility.
Lu Yao tapped on the profile of the leading figure in black.
【Boto Clan LV10】Boto
Health: 74/74
Mana: 18/18
Damage: 2
Defense: 0
Speed: 6
【Fragile】
Extremely vulnerable and easily injured.
【Sacrifice】
Capable of constructing altars, strengthening the faith of believers in a region through prayers and offerings to the deities.
These otherworldly little people actually had the ability to build altars.
Lu Yao thought this was a good development.
Now he understood why the Skinners had built altars in the forest; altars could amplify the flames of faith. He wondered how long it would take for these little people to assimilate into this world.
But Lu Yao wasn’t concerned.
The civilization of the Pixel World was nascent; any worldly beings that entered would be subtly influenced by living there. Over time, they would become part of the Yao Clan’s cultural sphere.
Lu Yao was curious about the situation in the Overlap Zone.
Were this group from the Boto Clan refugees or an invading vanguard?
Before investigating, Lu Yao needed to ensure the external environment was stable.
The janitor continued to gnaw and repair the edges of the Overlap Zone.
Lu Yao summoned the "Janitor’s Friendship" and shook it by the shore.
The janitor stopped gnawing, looked towards the sound of the bell, and a question mark appeared over its head.
After a moment’s hesitation, it scurried over.
An opportunity.
Lu Yao was pleased, as this could buy him some time.
But it still wasn’t safe enough.
He remembered he had a miracle at his disposal and decided to try it.
Lu Yao spent 1000 faith to activate the miracle "Replication," targeting the crack in the Overlap Zone, which turned green.
It worked!
He placed the replicated fake Overlap Zone on the ground next to the bell.
The returning janitor, upon seeing it, pounced and began gnawing at the illusion created by the miracle.
Lu Yao thought, as expected of an orange card miracle, it could even deceive a boundary beast.
The janitor, a minor entity shaped by the forces of order, undoubtedly had impressive abilities. Its disarmament was undeniable, but it also had flaws, lacking self-awareness and being merely a tool-like creature.
Understanding its working principle allowed for exploitation.
Regardless of whether the rules would patch this loophole later, it was useful for now.
The Tyrant’s killing threshold had been reached.
Sarina transformed into a beam of moonlight and landed behind Karlo.
The enlarged form of Karlo split in two, the green light collapsed, and the body displayed 【Death】.
The entire combo was executed so swiftly that the other Apostle hadn’t reacted before their comrade was slain.
Beside him, Yanihu displayed an exclamation mark and a dialogue box appeared.
"Who are you?!"
"You do not belong to the Wuzi Kingdom, which of the many gods’ Apostles are you?"
"I am a servant of 【God Bo】, the Lord under the title of the undefeated deity, the great 【Fearless One】!"
Lu Yao was enlightened.
So, this was how Apostles from different gods confronted each other.
When cornered, they would declare their allegiance, claiming protection from a titled deity to intimidate the opponent and secure a way out... But according to Apostle Yanihu, did this Overlap Zone connect to a battlefield of another world?
While Lu Yao pondered, Sarina was quicker with her sword than with thought.
She faithfully executed her cleaning duty.
Yanihu’s two large swords flew out, nimbly defending him as he fought and retreated.
But the gap in rank and ability was too great; after taking two moonlight blades, Yanihu’s health triggered the Execution Decree, and Sarina dispatched him with a single strike.
Lu Yao continued to distract the janitor while bringing in Isabella to interrogate the souls of the two Apostles.
Karlo’s soul refused to cooperate and was slain again by Isabella, dissipating completely.
The remaining Yanihu became very forthcoming.
Isabella translated in real-time.
"God Bo is a deity under the title of the 【Fearless One】, but this attack was not commanded by the Fearless One; it was His own initiative."
"He discovered a newly ascended god, 【Wuzi Wang】, and maneuvered the World Ship to collide with the other, but a maelstrom caused a deviation."
"The two divine realms collided and became entangled, drifting into chaos away from their original regions and boundaries."
"Wuzi Wang was steadily defeated, and God Bo’s forces gained an absolute advantage. His Apostles continued to hunt down the heretics, entering this Overlap Zone and killing one of Wuzi Wang’s Sand Apostles."
"Yanihu and Karlo planned to finish off the heretics before returning to continue purging other areas..."
The two Apostles had chased an enemy Apostle into the Overlap Zone.
Then Sarina entered, and the situation turned into what it was now.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao realized two gods were at war.
He didn’t want to interfere.
Carry on.
He recalled Sarina and Isabella, and to be safe, captured Yanihu’s soul to prevent leaks. Lu Yao stopped distracting the janitor, and the breach was quickly mended by the hamster.
The Pixel World was whole once more.
From this mini-adventure, Lu Yao looted a set of dual-wield swords from Yanihu.
【Lofty Dual-Wield Swords LV4】: Damage +2, Defense +2. Enables 【Sword Dance Technique】.
【Sword Dance Technique】: Allows for remote control of sword strikes.
Securing an item served as a memento for this mini-adventure.
Lu Yao refocused his attention on the Boto Clan members who had entered his world.
