Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1136: You Can't Look Down on Waste

The situation had taken a dire turn.

Lin Sanjiu didn't fully grasp Sesame Cake's earlier explanation, but one thing was crystal clear: only the contents within the circular shape transformed into lava.

Now she faced a grim predicament with no viable weapons at her disposal. When Sesame Cake had been propelled through the room's wall, she had also swept away and demolished the food and water bottles scattered on the floor. Even the few remaining mineral water bottles that could have been wielded as weapons had been flattened by the collapsing half of the room, rendering their openings no longer circular.

[Planar World] did indeed store more mineral water, but how could she access them now? It seemed this ability had taken a particularly unfortunate turn lately.

"The existence of such an ability," Higher Consciousness remained inaccessible, but Mrs. Manas remained spirited, remarking, "Who would have foreseen the need to defend against such a move? It's far more potent than your Route 300."

The doomsday boasted a vast array of abilities and items that defied human imagination. Even with ceaseless vigilance around the clock—which was humanly impossible—only a fraction could genuinely be preempted. Lin Sanjiu had long grown accustomed to this fact.

"It's rather intriguing," she cast a glance at the disc above her head and snorted, "Setting abilities aside, every posthuman seeks to gather items they deem powerful to keep at their side... This implies that, if chosen at random, the likelihood of acquiring a potent item is relatively high. Yet your wheel consistently selects the most useless option. Considering the rule that the more powerful an ability, the greater its limitations, this shouldn't be the case... Have you done something to it?"

Sesame Cake clearly hadn't anticipated such questions from Lin Sanjiu. She took a step back, appearing startled, and stammered, "You... you're far more observant than I thought."

With a sigh, she let out a forced laugh and continued, "I don't mind divulging the truth. Over the years, I've employed every method at my disposal to refine and enhance this ability. This time is no different." She reached out, revealing a pale yellow piece of paper that Lin Sanjiu briefly noticed before it was concealed again. "It's rather embarrassing, really. We lured you here with the sole intent of trapping you in the lava. Since you're uncooperative, I'm willing to resort to force. I've never encountered anyone who could resist my set menu before."

Lin Sanjiu remained fixed on her, meticulously adjusting her muscles and joints to a state of readiness. Blood surged through her veins, awakening her strength and saturating every fiber of her muscles, priming her to unleash tremendous power at a moment's notice. Hei Zeji had taught her that, regardless of how powerful external objects might be, there were occasions when they proved ineffective or subject to limitations. The only constants she could rely on were the ones she wielded herself.

"What difference does it make if this item is useless?" Lin Sanjiu chuckled lightly while twirling the [Cosplay Enthusiasts Visited the Funeral Home Today] in her fingers. "I can still use it to pry open your mouth and toss you into the lava."

Sesame Cake attempted to speak but found her voice strangely absent. She appeared accustomed to her opponents' panic and confusion and seemed at a loss for how to handle Lin Sanjiu's reaction. With a quick turn, she dashed toward the double bed on the room's opposite side, shouting, "Second dish!"

Lin Sanjiu allowed her to rush over and watched as the wheel above her head spun once more. She gazed upward, observing the wheel's colors blur as it whirled. When it came to a stop, the pointer landed on a blue section, and the floating words transformed: Chase.

In just a short two seconds, Sesame Cake had already rushed out of the room. Lin Sanjiu didn't need her to explain further; she understood what the second dish was.
