From what I know of it, that’s definitely it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then that’s settled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the pyramid’s appearance, Leon declared with firm certainty:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure about pride, but I’ve figured out the rules of domination—its source is power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After merging with Bobby Rayne, using his status as the first heir, his domination ability was massively amplified and successfully fused with the Rayne family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’m not mistaken, the entire Rayne family now counts as his ‘territory,’ which is why we can’t leave freely—even flying gets us pulled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, beyond that, he holds absolute dominion over all Rayne family members of lower rank, demanding they surrender everything…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That does seem to be the case…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Leon’s analysis, the Black Goat nodded in agreement, then sighed helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But knowing this doesn’t help—he still has over three thousand under his control. Even if you replaced all your skin, you couldn’t eliminate that many.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not necessarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the gleaming [Materialist Soul] on his panel, hearing the prompt—[Due to understanding… resistance greatly increased… general-level influences now blocked]—Leon, whose palms had lost most of their skin and looked horrific, smiled and suddenly turned back toward Bobby Rayne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being guessed by someone else is entirely different from being guessed by me. With the resistance from [Materialist], he can’t hold me anymore—even if I fail, I’ll escape unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused by Leon’s sudden move, the Black Goat exclaimed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you turning back? Aren’t we continuing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his corruption value had surged to 2, and gazing at the golden [I Am the Demon] and silver [Practitioner] on his panel, Leon, having gained much, asked while moving:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you say Bobby Rayne fused with your heart, and now you’re inseparable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Yeah, so what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just had a random thought—if someone fuses with an anomaly, and I can directly use that anomaly, how would that work?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I Am the Demon (Gold): Through massive, utterly evil, frenzied killings, you successfully revived a portion of a demon’s avatar, earning its heartfelt gratitude and recognition.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Worn Effect: When contacting anomalies marked with “Corruption,” as a demon, you gain direct authority to use them, greatly enhancing their effects and reducing their cost.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Advanced Path: Recover all the demon’s avatars, successfully resurrect and utterly enslave it—this badge will automatically upgrade to the chromatic badge “Demon Lord.”]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hidden Trait (No Need to Wear): Your soul radiates unparalleled evil.

Why is he turning back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the anomaly in his soul vision, the “maid” who had just placed scissors against her brother’s throat paused, pulled her awareness back, and watched warily as the two souls rapidly approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Leon’s figure entered his view, seeing his exposed flesh and the lingering exhaustion on his face, the victor’s smile finally appeared on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So his rapid killings came at a cost—he’s not just draining willpower, he’s losing body tissue too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by his current state, he’s reached his limit and has come for a final confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad—if I’d known you were this weak, why bother killing that clan elder? He was usually so obedient…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a bored shake of his head, Bobby Rayne lost all interest, lazily snapped his fingers, and sent over seven hundred controlled “puppets” surging forward toward Leon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon, who had been fleeing desperately to conserve his dwindling strength, seemed to sense this was the final battle—he made no attempt to dodge, but gripped the Holy Pendant and charged straight ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Holy Pendant’s powerful effect, the zombie-like mob that rushed him was swept aside at mere proximity; those blocking his path were flung violently away—no one could come within three steps of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Leon looked like a peerless general charging alone into the densest ranks of an army—no one could stand against him, not even slowing his pace for a moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such “wasteful” use of the Holy Pendant came at a cost—even though his Bronze [Devout Believer] had upgraded to Silver [Practitioner], reducing the pendant’s drain, Leon’s skin continued vanishing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he smashed through wave after wave, the missing skin, once confined to his forearms, surged upward—elbows, upper arms, shoulders, chest… finally spreading all the way to his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without skin to protect them, countless tiny blood vessels were torn by rough fabric; by the time he reached the young man, his coat was drenched in crimson, blood dripping from its hem, leaving a bloody trail reeking of iron behind him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some guts… but that’s all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Leon charge up, drenched in blood, the young man didn’t even bother to dodge—he stood with arms behind his back, expression cold:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will you stop showing off?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leon lunged, tackling him to the ground, landing a solid uppercut, then raised his bloody right hand and grabbed the young man’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… he thinks my heart’s in my chest, and destroying it will kill me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Leon’s utterly foolish move, the young man sneered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am the heart, the heart is me! I have no weakness—I fused with the anomaly. That heart you see? Just useless rot. Unless you can… you can…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his own power forcibly seized, watching Leon’s skin rapidly regenerate, the young man’s mouth fell open in shock, his eyes bulging out of their sockets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell? He’s… using me?\u003C\u002Fp>",977,"2026-06-20T03:18:28.556Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b231dc9c0f2a005e513a800d1df278259d2d69423d1de57eadab00d05ec36fe8","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-105","i-m-the-cleanup-crew-chapter-103",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-m-the-cleanup-crew-cover.jpg"]
