Chapter 74: Bai Song: Is it the end of the world?!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" After letting out a scream, Tom's color started to return, and he didn't care about Jerry anymore. He immediately started running away. Jerry, on the other hand, saw Tom turning around and simply put the porcelain bowl aside, preparing to make his escape.

However... you see, funny characters are usually fine, but in critical moments, the more they try to escape quickly, the less they can actually escape. It's a rule of funny characters. Tom and Jerry were just like that. While trying to run away, they ran in place for more than a second before finally feeling like they were about to sprint out.

But... it was just a slight feeling.

In the moment when Tom was about to charge forward, Spike simply extended his left foot forward and effortlessly stepped on Tom's tail as he attempted to escape. No matter how desperately Tom tried to run away, he could only dash in place.

On the other side, Jerry didn't fare any better. He had only managed to move a few centimeters forward when Spike clenched his fist and delivered a punch to Jerry's head.

"Bang!" With just one punch, Jerry the mouse instantly transformed into a mouse skin nail, sticking into the floor.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang, bang, bang!!!" Spike wasn't satisfied with just one punch; he continued hammering his fist onto Jerry, who had become a nail, causing it to sink deeper into the floor with rhythmic pounding. In the end, all that could be seen on the floor was a deep brown circular biscuit. The rest of Jerry, as the "nail," was buried deep in the floor. If it weren't for its brown skin, no one would have noticed the nailed figure on the ground.

After witnessing Jerry's tragic fate, Tom finally stopped his running posture and knelt down on the ground. He shook his clasped hands back and forth, and tears poured out of his eyes as if they were free. However, it was apparent that Spike paid no attention to Tom's performance. He raised his fist, ready to strike Tom at any moment.

Seeing that his pleading tactics were ineffective, Tom instantly ended his crying act, stood up, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands in a very self-righteous manner... and began his performance.

"Bang!!!!" Accompanied by a loud noise, Tom was sent flying. If your vision was keen enough, you could see that Tom's face, which had just been struck by Spike's fist, had caved in, leaving an indentation shaped like a fist. It was as if he wasn't a cat but a piece of putty.

Upon hearing Chen Gong's assessment of Merlin, Gudako felt a great disappointment wash over her. Even the joyous occasion of encountering Merlin in this Singularity seemed overshadowed by this fact.

"Is he really not suitable? Merlin is the best option we have here," she replied.

Indeed, during her time in her own Chaldea, she rarely used Merlin as ammunition. His skills didn't provide significant benefits to Chen Gong, unlike Zhuge Liang, who could greatly enhance his abilities. If possible, she would have preferred to use Zhuge Liang as ammunition. However, the problem was that before coming to this Singularity, Zhuge Liang, who was lying in the ICU and sipping millet porridge, inexplicably vanished into thin air!

This left Gudako without a supply of ammunition for Chen Gong, and now she had to make do with Merlin.

"But even Merlin won't do. He's not quite suited to be a 'hero,'" Chen Gong added, glancing at the tied-up Merlin in the chair with a look of disdain.

Noticing Chen Gong's somewhat contemptuous gaze, Merlin didn't feel offended. While he referred to himself as a useless person, it would be natural for someone to feel displeased when looked down upon, especially in the field of magecraft. However... at this moment, Merlin actually felt relieved. Being despised meant he wouldn't be sacrificed.

"Why... why is it like this, Merlin... Merlin..." Gudako's world suddenly felt dim upon hearing this terrible news. She covered her mouth with her hands, appearing deeply saddened.

If someone unaware of the actual situation were to see her, they would think that Merlin had died. Who could have imagined that Gudako's grief stemmed from the fact that Merlin couldn't die?

Seeing Gudako so saddened, Chen Gong pushed up his glasses with his index and middle fingers, causing them to shine with a glint of light. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, master. Actually... the 'hero' who is perfectly capable is right here in this world."

"Huh? Really? Who is it?!"

"That 'Hero' is none other than Zhuge Liang. He is right here in this world!"
