"Woof, woof!"
"Hmm? Where is this?"
After an unknown amount of time, King slowly opened his eyes. What greeted him was a red tongue, and all around was a vast, endless desert.
"O... Overgrown Rover?! Am I seeing things?"
King wondered if he had died in the black hole and transmigrated once again.
"King, you're awake!"
A small black figure appeared, and King snapped into full alertness instantly.
"Black Sperm?! Why are you guys here? Could it be that I've returned to Earth?"
As King sat up, he felt an agonizing pain throughout his entire body.
"My body has actually ended up in this state... whatever, I'm lucky just to be alive."
Feeling his energy almost completely depleted, King shook his head helplessly, still feeling a lingering fear when he thought back. Though it was only for an instant, he had felt the proximity of death.
"I don't know where this is either, but it's definitely not Earth."
Black Sperm had a look of utter despair on his face, then he gave Overgrown Rover a kick.
"How did you guys get here?" King was very curious.
He had only arrived by opening a high-dimensional channel with God inside the black hole.
Could it be that those two also...
Looking at the blankly adorable Overgrown Rover, King seemed to understand something.
"It's all this guy's fault. I originally thought it would be safe to hide under its body, but who would have thought that at the last moment, it would jump straight into the dimensional rift."
Black Sperm wanted to cry but had no tears. It hadn't been easy to survive in the Monster Association, and now he didn't know which galaxy they had ended up in.
'I wonder how many 'Masters' I'll have to acknowledge this time to get a firm foothold.'
Black Sperm was already beginning to plan his grand ambitions, while King was currently wearing a dazed expression.
"You're saying you guys also entered the black hole at the end?" King was incredibly shocked.
He couldn't figure out how these two had survived inside a black hole.
"Yeah, I just gave up resisting at that time."
Black Sperm sighed, his face full of helplessness.
"And then?"
"And then, after an unknown amount of time, the black hole spat us out. We've been wandering around here for ages and haven't seen a single soul. In the end, it was Overgrown Rover who sensed your aura and led me here."
Black Sperm glared at Overgrown Rover, who was still affectionately rubbing against King.
"Damn, your luck is just too..." King was utterly speechless.
To enter a black hole and be spat out completely intact...
Thinking of this, King suddenly realized something and immediately began searching around.
"Strange, I clearly brought it into the channel with me at the end, how did it disappear?"
King remembered playing a trick on God at the last moment. If God really recovered, he probably wouldn't survive even if he had ten thousand lives.
"Forget it, its power was also exhausted in the end. Its fate won't be much better than mine."
King shook his head, deciding not to think about those things for now. With Black Sperm and Overgrown Rover by his side, he wasn't exactly alone.
'System!'
King called out to check his current attribute panel.
[Host: King]
[Talents: Undying Body (Max), Strongest Summoning Technique (Max), Fighting Spirit (Max), Psychokinesis (Max), Inhuman Digestion, Monsterization]
[Skills: Unable to use]
[Physical Strength: C-Class]
[Equipment: Functional Weapon (Can change form at will)]
[Pet: Overgrown Rover (Peak Dragon-level), Black Sperm (Peak Dragon-level)]
[Comprehensive Strength: Low Tiger-level]
'Sigh, back to square one overnight.'
King's comprehensive strength was now only at Low Tiger-level. He feared that any Demon-level powerhouse could easily handle him.
He tried to mobilize his power, but there was no response. All his energy was currently drained dry.
'At least Black Sperm and Overgrown Rover's strength is still there.' King felt slightly more at ease.
Overgrown Rover was absolutely loyal to him, and while Black Sperm was a bit cowardly, with the Union Power converted by the system, it was impossible for him to turn against him.
'The most important thing right now is to find a way to recover my strength, and also to figure out exactly where this is.'
King climbed onto Overgrown Rover's back, and Black Sperm was kicked off.
"Let's go. It seems there's some sign of life over there."
King pointed in a random direction, and Overgrown Rover immediately began to sprint excitedly.
"Hey, wait for me!"
...
One man, one monkey, and one dog embarked on a long journey. After traveling for half a day, the desert before them was still devoid of life.
"Isn't this place a bit too damn big?"
King felt a sense of hunger. As his physical strength grew and with the support of various powers, he wouldn't feel hungry even if he didn't eat for an entire month. But now that his energy was depleted, he understood that this was his body issuing a warning.
'I won't actually starve to death here, will I?'
King felt somewhat helpless.
He had even taken down God. If he ended up starving to death in another dimension, he'd be a laughingstock.
"Woof, woof!"
Just then, Overgrown Rover suddenly barked wildly at the front. Although King had no combat power, he was still very sensitive to danger.
Rumble!
A massive body burrowed out from underground. Huge pincers snapped Black Sperm's body into two, while Overgrown Rover jumped aside just in time.
"Is this a scorpion? Isn't the size a bit too large?"
King looked at the black scorpion before him, its body tightly encased in a hard shell, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. This scorpion was nearly five meters tall.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect there to be such a creature here."
The voice of Black Sperm's clone drifted over, what he feared least was this kind of slashing attack.
"This scorpion should be edible, let's have a taste."
King patted Overgrown Rover's head, and the latter instantly understood his meaning.
"Roar!"
Overgrown Rover's body surged in size, only stopping when it reached about ten meters.
"Woof!"
A terrifying aura emanated from Overgrown Rover's body. Its six compound eyes looked down at the scorpion, which immediately tried to burrow into the sand without a word.
Slap!
A paw pinned down the scorpion's tail, rendering it unable to move.
Rumble!
A powerful wave blasted out, engulfing the scorpion's body, and a burnt aroma wafted out.
