103. We're a wholesome, all-ages show!

With Xu Qing's scandal breaking, the two other Kunlun Team contestants also withdrew from the competition in a storm of curses.

"Well~ Though they didn't win the championship, at least they kept their lives~"

Flaviy shrugged, shaking his flower-covered head as he remarked: "By comparison, some contestants weren't so fortunate!"

The camera cut away, and the monster-class contestant from the Fusion Monster Team appeared on screen.

Due to its special "trinity" physique, the organizers had no choice but to count it as a single contestant, placing it in the same arena as a contestant from the "Assassin Faith Team."

Yet before the match could even begin, the poor assassin was devoured by the Fusion Monster's gaping maw.

In the end, relying on its overwhelming power, the Fusion Monster cleared its "Machine Crisis" trial all alone.

"Hehehe~! Robots... delicious!" One of the heads atop the Fusion Monster chuckled dumbly.

Half a twitching mechanical leg still jutted out from its belly.

"Idiot! We want meat!" Another head retorted mercilessly.

"Robots should be eaten, and meat should be eaten too. Only then are we well-rounded!" The third head proposed a new idea.

"Well said!" x2

The other two heads voiced their agreement.

Once the three heads reached a consensus, they continued trudging through the desert.

......

"The shock segment has come to a full close! According to the statistics, there are now five teams remaining in the arena!" Before long, Flaviy's figure reappeared in the sky above the arena, both hosting for the audience and relaying intel to the contestants:

"They are: the fully intact Fusion Monster Team and the Fox... Phantom Thief Team, the Gun Demon Team (down one member), and the Assassin Faith Team and Templar Team (down two members)!"

"To hasten the competition into its final phase, we will now drop locating beacons every minute! Fight! Slaughter one another! This is your killing moment!"

The moment Flaviy finished speaking, several yellow pillars of light descended from the sky, exposing the positions of all contestants.

"Time to fight again?" Big Sword Brother rolled his shoulders, his fighting spirit blazing.

"Yes, get ready~" Chen Shang patted Big Sword Brother's shoulder and nodded:

"Our three light pillars are clustered right next to each other. The other contestants will realize our team is still fully intact. The other three teams that have suffered heavy losses will definitely band together, first taking out both us and that Fusion Monster."

No sooner had he spoken than they saw four light pillars racing toward their position at high speed.

Of course, the Fusion Monster Team's three tightly clustered pillars were also moving in their direction.

Five seconds later, the light pillars vanished, and they wouldn't relight for another minute.

Yet even with just a few seconds of beacon pinpointing, these professional killers could lock onto the enemy's position.

Two semi-humanoids, their bodies heavily modified with firearms, charged toward Chen Shang's group. On the other side, a hooded assassin in a long cloak and a sword-and-shield warrior clad in gilded lamellar armor also came at them from another direction.

Just as Chen Shang's squad coiled up, ready to fight, a colossal three-headed monster suddenly burst from the sand, its intestine-shaped tongue whipping out to coil around the nearby Templar.

"Aaaaaaah—! En taro tassadar——!"

With a scream of agony in some unknown dialect, the Templar was swallowed into the Fusion Monster's giant abdominal maw.

"Excellent, another team eliminated!" Flaviy announced promptly. "Oh wait, make that two more!"

Almost immediately after his words, a torrent of vomit erupted from the Fusion Monster's abdominal maw, spraying toward the nearby assassin.

The moment the vomit touched the assassin, his body began breaking out in rashes, becoming infected, and rapidly rotting before the naked eye.

"So hot..." The assassin's face gradually melted, his body collapsing limply to the ground before the Fusion Monster scooped him up along with the vomit and ate him.

Now only three teams remained in the arena: the Fusion Monster Team, the Gun Demon Team, and the Phantom Thief Team.

Realizing the situation had turned dire, the two Gun Demon Team members hurriedly chose to retreat, firing at the Fusion Monster in a covering volley.

Dense bullet holes pockmarked the Fusion Monster's body once more. But the bullets were quickly absorbed into its flesh, causing its frame to swell several sizes larger.

"Hehe~ burp~" Satisfied after feasting on bullets, the Fusion Monster wore a contented smile and charged at the Gun Demon Team in a bizarre gait.

"Run!" One gun-human muttered urgently, signaling his teammate to flee.

But the very next moment, a severed woman's arm flew in front of them, exploding with a thunderous blast that threw up a cloud of sand.

"Damn it!" The two gun-humans' escape route was cut off by the sudden explosion, and before they could recover, the pursuing Fusion Monster caught them up in its intestinal tongue and stuffed them into its mouth.

After swallowing the two contestants, a flurry of gunfire rang out from within the Fusion Monster's body—but it soon fell silent.

Having disposed of the Gun Demon Team by proxy, only two teams now remained in the arena.

At the same time, a fiery red light pillar signifying the final duel descended from the sky, shining directly upon the remaining contestants.

Until their vital signs ceased, the pillar would not disappear.

"Hehehe~ Meat! More meat!" The Fusion Monster turned around, greedily charging toward Chen Shang's trio.

It was then that Chen Shang gave his order: "White Fox, this part is up to you!"

White Fox nodded with quiet understanding—yet rather than cutting off her arm, she began stripping off her clothes.

"Holy shit! What is White Fox doing?!" The host Flaviy was so shocked his eyeballs nearly popped out: "This is an all-ages program! White Fox! Can you hear me?! We're all-ages!"

"Um... is this show really suitable for minors to watch?" the Dragonborn maid muttered quietly from the sidelines.

"Hehehe... let me see~ let me see~" A Meng kept giggling, remaining in her manic state.

Under the gaze of ten thousand eyes, White Fox peeled off her blast-resistant bodysuit, revealing her complete female form.

And in that moment, the Grand Melee's ratings climbed several more percentage points. Even some self-styled upper-class wealthy folk turned on their televisions upon hearing the news, eager to see how the organizers, Radiation Bird Company, would handle such a shameless spectacle.

But just as the director was about to slap a real-time mosaic on the footage, his movements involuntarily froze.

Beneath the bodysuit was not smooth, milk-white skin and a perfectly proportioned, scorching figure—but a fleshly horror comparable to a depiction of hell.

Skin riddled with scars, like a severe burn victim, with blood blisters occasionally bursting open; in the vulnerable areas of her abdomen, flesh kept exploding, exposing the ribs hiding within; blood and shredded tissue streamed down her body like a small waterfall... Suffice it to say, there was not a single intact patch on her entire body.

If such a physique could be called a sight for sore eyes, then the Fusion Monster opposite her should have been censored throughout the entire show as well.

After all, this was a world where R18 content needed to be avoided—yet R18G content filled the streets.

"So this is the pain you've been enduring all along..." Big Sword Brother blurted out in astonishment.

Chen Shang, however, took two calm steps back, retreating out of her blast radius.

The next moment, the Fusion Monster's intestinal tongue lashed out and coiled tightly around White Fox's body—and then—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A chain of explosions detonated across White Fox's body, blasting the intestinal tongue into shreds. Then, White Fox began advancing toward the Fusion Monster step by step, each footfall leaving a blast crater beneath her, a dangerous smile on her face.

The Fusion Monster retracted its shredded tongue into its mouth in agony, all three heads shrieking at once:

"It hurts! Can't eat this!"

"So hot in the mouth!"

"Can't eat it—run!"

As if it had met its natural predator, the Fusion Monster turned tail and fled without a backward glance.

"For a creature like that, anything it can't eat is its natural enemy~" Chen Shang whistled, seemingly explaining it for the benefit of the empiricist Big Sword Brother.

"I see..." Big Sword Brother nodded with a semblance of understanding, then raised a new question: "But then, how do we actually defeat it?"
