AWB #247 - Luofu, the Heaven-Chushing God! Offended the future Heavenly Emperor!
#247 - Luofu, the Heaven-Chushing God! Offended the future Heavenly Emperor!
In the world of "Joy of Life," even Grandmasters would meet their end when faced with a Barrett sniper rifle.
Yet, Luo Fu, merely with his gravity manipulation that wasn't even fully localized, could easily withstand Barrett attacks from all directions.
It's already good enough that such abilities haven't directly evolved him into a being that doesn't need to eat beef.
So-called martial arts were even more laughable in Luo Fu's eyes.
Whether it was a ninth-rank expert or a so-called Grandmaster, he could easily crush them with a single finger, even without fully localizing his abilities.
Possessing such strength, when faced with the entire family's persuasion, Luo Fu merely demonstrated his abilities slightly.
Whether it was his grandmother, parents, older sister, or brother-in-law, they all fell into a daze.
After they came back to their senses, the first thing the family cared about wasn't where Luo Fu's abilities came from, but whether he was still himself.
After proving through various means that he was still himself, just possessing power enough to crush Grandmasters,
Luo Fu quickly revealed his plans.
Although Luo Fu himself could indeed roam the world unhindered with his strength, even if all the forces of Northern Qi, Qing Kingdom, and Dongyi City united, even with the entire nation's military might, and even including the Northern Divine Hall, they couldn't threaten Luo Fu.
After all, gravity is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, and even if Luo Fu could only use the most basic applications, he was still invincible.
But Luo Fu wasn't a lone wolf after all. Although his strength had reached the point of being invincible, those high-ranking individuals in this world were all incredibly cunning.
Describing them as shrewd and calculating would be an understatement.
One could imagine that once Luo Fu's identity was exposed, the forces of Qing Kingdom, Northern Qi, and Dongyi City, unable to deal with him directly, would inevitably seek to threaten him from the sidelines.
And his grandmother, parents, older sister, and brother-in-law would naturally become targets.
Even though he had awakened his past life's memories, Luo Fu was still a new individual, and his feelings for his family were genuine.
In Luo Fu's plan, with the relatives present as the core, a large circle of people was soon relocated by Luo Fu's means to a remote island overseas.
After settling his relatives, Luo Fu then stepped into the Qing Kingdom alone.
Although with Luo Fu's strength, he had no need to get involved in the power struggles of the Qing Kingdom's court, returning home in glory is like wearing brocade at night.
Moreover, when Luo Fu was searching for a remote island overseas to settle his relatives, he specifically searched for the Divine Hall, but always came up empty.
In his memory, the Divine Hall did indeed survive the doomsday-like war in the last era of human nuclear war because it was located in the cold Arctic Circle.
But don't forget that the Divine Hall isn't completely fixed in one location, but can move on its own. Because of the limited energy, the Divine Hall needs to absorb solar energy as its power source.
In the Arctic Circle, once there is a polar night, the Divine Hall will automatically move to a place with sufficient sunlight. Because of this, Luo Fu only found a suitable island overseas as a temporary shelter for his family, and then didn't continue aimlessly searching for the Divine Hall like a headless fly.
Speaking of understanding the Divine Hall, who could be clearer than Wu Zhu?
Although Wu Zhu had lost his memory, only Ku He and Xiao En knew about the Divine Hall, but Luo Fu didn't have much thought about the Divine Hall.
He wasn't like Emperor Qing, who was obsessed with the Divine Hall because of Ye Qingmei.
Perhaps the Divine Hall did possess many advanced technologies, but even Wang Xi (Wang Shisanlang), a disciple of Si Gu Jian, could smash the Divine Hall until only a tour guide was left.
It could be seen how dilapidated the Divine Hall was now. Even those so-called advanced knowledge were actually just a dispensable thing for Luo Fu, who shared the selves of the heavens.
The invincible Luo Fu naturally had to find some fun for himself.
Where else would there be more fun than around Fan Xian?
This assassination on Niu Lan Street was almost a personality transformation for Fan Xian.
Not only did it make him lose Teng Zijing, whom he regarded as a friend, but it also made Fan Xian, who came out of Danzhou, truly feel the cruelty and terror of this era, and how arrogant those high above were.
At least he had some contact with Fan Xian in his childhood.
Moreover, Luo Fu came to the capital this time for Fan Xian, so of course he wouldn't stand idly by.
Especially at this moment, he felt that Teng Zijing was about to die in Fan Xian's hands, and the psychological stimulation for Fan Xian was already enough.
Luo Fu immediately took action without hesitation.
That terrifying ability, as if able to manipulate all things in the world, caused an uproar in the capital as soon as it was used.
Emperor Qing, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Chief of the Internal Treasury, Princess, and the people of the Supervisory Council in the palace all investigated everything about Luo Fu in a very short time.
Fan Xian, who had just experienced the assassination on Niu Lan Street, quickly became curious about Luo Fu after recovering from the surprise of surviving the disaster and almost being separated from Teng Zijing.
In his memory, Luo Fu was just an ordinary student, even a bookworm.
But it was such a guy who suddenly appeared in his time of crisis and saved himself and Teng Zijing with incredible means.
If he didn't know Luo Fu's background, Fan Xian would have suspected that the assassination on Niu Lan Street had something to do with Luo Fu.
Because of the life-saving grace and the strong curiosity about Luo Fu, Fan Xian didn't hesitate to extend an invitation to Luo Fu.
Knowing that Wu Zhu was not by Fan Xian's side now, Luo Fu simply went along with the flow and agreed.
With the appearance of Luo Fu, the capital, which should have been stirred up by Fan Xian, quickly shifted the focus of the vortex from Fan Xian to Luo Fu.
The methods Luo Fu showed in the assassination on Niu Lan Street were simply like gods and demons.
Like possessing the ability to control everything in the world, from Emperor Qing to the Crown Prince, the Princes, and even Chen Pingping, they all abandoned their missions in Northern Qi and rushed back to the capital after traveling thousands of miles.
Luo Fu's sudden appearance made Emperor Qing, Chen Pingping, and others have many associations.
Although his background was quickly investigated, his methods made people can't help but think of Ye Qingmei back then.
The impact of Ye Qingmei's sudden appearance on this world can never be eliminated in just a few decades.
Not to mention Emperor Qing, Chen Pingping, and Fan Jian, who were all personally involved.
Fan Xian's six fathers were not groundless rumors.
Luo Fu, such a powerful existence, but his experience is completely unmatched with his current strength.
In the Qing Kingdom, almost everyone, from top to bottom, focused their attention on Luo Fu.
Various tests followed one after another.
It's just that these so-called tests didn't cause even the slightest ripple in front of Luo Fu.
Under the simple gravity manipulation, no matter what eighth-rank or ninth-rank experts, they were helpless in front of Luo Fu. Even in a short period of time, even the Grandmasters began to pay attention to Luo Fu's existence.
It should be known that almost every one of the existing Grandmasters had an intersection with Ye Qingmei. It's not an exaggeration to say that the birth of these Grandmasters was the result of Ye Qingmei's guidance.
Whether it was Si Gu Jian of Dongyi City or Ku He of Northern Qi, the cultivation techniques they practiced were even personally taught by Ye Qingmei.
Luo Fu, such a suddenly appearing guy, happened to have mysterious methods, which naturally attracted the attention of the world.
Even the attention to Luo Fu had surpassed Fan Xian.
Fan Xian was, after all, only benefiting from Ye Qingmei's legacy, but Luo Fu, in the eyes of many people, was very likely to be the second Ye Qingmei.
It's just that these people all underestimated Luo Fu.
Through this sharing, Luo Fu had even reached the point where he could create nuclear bombs by manipulating gravity.
The meaning of nuclear bombs in the world of "Joy of Life" is self-evident. It should be known that nuclear radiation itself is like the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world.
Luo Fu, who mastered the ability to create nuclear bombs, could completely create so-called blessed lands with abundant spiritual energy at will. As long as it had experienced a nuclear explosion, the power of nuclear radiation would definitely far exceed the so-called treasure lands that had undergone countless years of decay.
After countless eighth-rank and ninth-rank experts failed in their tests on Luo Fu,
Luo Fu became the most special existence in the entire Qing Kingdom in a short period of time. Although he had no fame, status, or power, no one in the entire Qing Kingdom dared to offend Luo Fu.
Even countless wealthy daughters received orders to befriend Luo Fu.
And this time, like being a popular person, was quickly reversed after the three Grandmasters gathered in the capital of Qing Kingdom.
Knowing that these natives had not given up, Luo Fu went along with the flow and waited.
As expected, when everything was ready, a great battle instantly erupted.
Luo Fu fought three opponents single-handedly, not only holding his own but even completely suppressing the three grandmasters with a nonchalant attitude.
This scene, the moment it appeared, made Emperor Qing, who was constantly monitoring the situation, unable to sit still.
On the surface, there were only three grandmasters in this world, but Emperor Qing was the one with the deepest secrets. Besides Emperor Qing, Wu Zhu, the first generation of temple envoys, also possessed grandmaster-level combat power.
When the three grandmasters were completely unable to do anything to Luo Fu, Emperor Qing, who had been hiding for who knows how long, finally couldn't help but take action.
Not only Emperor Qing, but even Wu Zhu also chose to stand on the opposite side of Luo Fu.
The great battle between the two sides, although it sounded very powerful.
Five grandmasters besieged Luo Fu, but in reality, the so-called siege could not cause the slightest harm to Luo Fu.
With gravity reversed into repulsive force, Ku He, Si Gu Jian, Ye Liuyun, Emperor Qing, and Wu Zhu, who were determined to kill Luo Fu, couldn't even get close.
The seemingly so-called stalemate was actually just a means for Luo Fu to completely eliminate the resistance in these people's hearts.
The end of the battle, to everyone's surprise, was terminated by a gunshot.
Barrett heavy sniper rifle.
This relic of Ye Qingmei should have fallen into Fan Xian's hands after some twists and turns, but it was because of this siege by the five grandmasters that Fan Xian obtained this weapon from Wu Zhu in advance.
And the person who fired the gun was Fan Xian.
The first person to be frightened by the thunderous sound of the gunshot was Emperor Qing, who had deep PTSD in his heart.
After all, Emperor Qing had personally witnessed how Ye Qingmei casually used the Barrett heavy sniper rifle to solve his rivals when he was a prince, even across a long distance.
This also made Emperor Qing, after inheriting the throne, and even many years after Ye Qingmei's death, continue to hide in the deep palace, constantly studying what kind of armor could withstand the bullets of the Barrett.
And now, Emperor Qing heard the terrifying sound again after many years.
Just when everyone thought that the bullet of the Barrett heavy sniper rifle could solve Luo Fu.
The 12.7mm caliber bullet was frozen in mid-air by an invisible force when it flew in front of Luo Fu.
Staring at the bullet in front of him, Luo Fu only glanced at Fan Xian, who was stunned, and decisively solved this so-called protagonist.
So what if Fan Xian was the protagonist? In Luo Fu's eyes, when he attacked him, it meant that the two sides were completely at odds.
Although he didn't know the specific situation, Luo Fu guessed that Fan Xian would stand on the opposite side of him, probably related to Emperor Qing and Wu Zhu.
A great battle, with Fan Xian's shooting, the so-called five grandmasters, under Luo Fu's gravitational field, were instantly twisted into pretzels.
The Qing Kingdom's royal family suffered a tragic bloodbath.
In the end, only the Second Prince, Li Chengze, who saw the opportunity and decisively chose to surrender to Luo Fu, survived and became the final winner.
With Li Chengze becoming the new Emperor of Qing, Luo Fu's power in this world also reached an unprecedented peak.
Although he still failed to find the location of the temple through the grandmasters according to his initial plan.
But with reaching the peak of power, after spending huge amounts of manpower and resources, Luo Fu finally successfully found the location of the temple.
And at this moment, before entering the shared space, he was actually staying in the temple for a long time.
After reading about this Qing Yu Nian Luo Fu's experience, Qin Shi Luo Fu couldn't help but sigh in surprise: "You are really ruthless. You killed all the grandmasters, and you didn't even let the protagonist go."
"What protagonist?" Qing Yu Nian Luo Fu said indifferently: "From the moment we entered here, there is no such thing as a protagonist. Even if there is, it should be us. As for Fan Xian..."
Qing Yu Nian Luo Fu paused slightly, with a hint of唏嘘 in his tone, and said: "I originally had a good impression of him, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong path. To be an enemy of me is to seek his own death."
"That's right, what destiny protagonist, to be an enemy of us is to seek his own death."
The Evil Ghost Luo Fu, who also cleared his own world, and even launched a retro revolution in the 20th century, pulling all mankind back to a medieval theocratic era, nodded in agreement, and said:
"I think, since you are now invincible, you should not enhance your sense of mystery. Isn't Qing Kingdom building temples everywhere? Then in the future, you should be enshrined in the temples. You are the supreme god in the world. With the endorsement of the temple, you can take whatever you want from this world, and let the whole world become your resource to enhance yourself. Isn't your world based on nuclear radiation as the heaven and earth energy? Then you should open up a radiation avenue, just right, you can communicate with the guy from Super God."
The Different Luo Fu couldn't help but frown and said: "Isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Can't we just regard the world as fish and meat?"
"Why can't we?" Evil Ghost Luo Fu said plausibly: "For us, as long as it can promote the evolution of life and the upgrading of the world, then we are correct. At the beginning, it may indeed mean treating the world as fish and meat, but as our strength increases, sooner or later, these fish and meat will turn into dragons. Survival of the fittest, if you don't advance, you will die. In the world of Qing Yu Nian, humans themselves have evolved the ability to survive in a high-radiation environment."
"Although not much, but there is indeed some truth to it." Super God Luo Fu's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "This Evil Ghost guy, although he seems very brutal, but from the perspective of the evolution of life and even civilization, as long as you promote the evolution of life and the progress of civilization, then you are right. The previous concept of the temple is simply a joke. Moreover, in your world, since humans can evolve the ability to survive in a high-radiation environment, this is almost the prelude to opening the super gene."
In the Super God Universe, the process of evolution of the Shenhe Civilization, experiencing the nuclear age, is almost inevitable.
Even in the division of civilizations, there are distinctions between pre-nuclear and post-nuclear.
This is not only to say that humans have mastered nuclear energy, but also that the Shenhe body has adapted to nuclear radiation.
You must know that in the Super God Universe, in order to forcibly promote the evolution of humans on Earth, Morgana planned to plant mushrooms all over the world, making the entire world a high-radiation environment like the Qing Yu Nian world.
From this point of view alone, in the eyes of Super God Luo Fu, the humans in the Qing Yu Nian world already have the qualifications to open the super gene era.
"Are you planning to let me provide you with some data?" Qing Yu Nian Luo Fu obviously didn't take the bait so easily, glanced at Super God Luo Fu, and said: "Your next step should be to establish your own civilization. On Earth, the struggle of the gods is eager to personally end. Although you have created an external brain and rely on the special nature of the divine power space, you do have the qualifications to challenge the main god of civilization, but the foundation is still a bit lacking."
"Isn't this the meaning of the existence of the shared space for all of us?" Super God Luo Fu took it for granted: "We are all Luo Fu, so naturally everyone should be for me, and I for everyone."
"That will have to wait until next time." Evil Ghost Luo Fu nodded in agreement: "I have just shared the method of making the external brain from you. When I go back, I will create evil ghosts with more blood ghost techniques as soon as possible, using criminals, and collect their various data."
"You two are really birds of a feather." Death God Luo Fu's mouth twitched slightly.
"This is called helping each other." Super God and Evil Ghost Luo Fu said in unison.
"Are you not afraid of scaring these two newcomers by saying that?" Ninja World Luo Fu's words immediately made everyone's eyes fall on the two newcomers who were like little transparent people.
This time, the two newcomers, although they were both Luo Fu, were very different in age.
One is a suit and leather shoes, a man with glasses on his face, like a social animal, and the other is a teenager wearing an earthy yellow sleeveless training suit, and on the chest of the training suit, there is a traditional Chinese character for turtle!
From the appearance, this teenager is at most only eleven or twelve years old.
"I'm going."
In an instant, everyone's eyes skipped the social animal in suit and leather shoes and stared at this little teenager.
"You... you actually put on the turtle fairy style training suit, where is the tail? Where is your tail?" Many Luo Fu couldn't wait to come to the front of this teenager, circling around, wanting to find the existence of the tail from behind his ass.
"Don't think about it." The teenager glanced at these Luo Fu rather maturely and said: "There is only one Sun Wukong on Earth, my name is Luo Fu, I am not a Saiyan at all, where did the tail come from?"
"Then you are miserable." Evil Ghost Luo Fu curled his lips and said: "If you are not a Saiyan, then in your world, your best result is just being an extra. But it doesn't matter, after sharing our abilities, you still have a chance to turn over!"
As he spoke, the Evil Ghost Luo Fu stepped forward and shook hands with the Turtle School's young Luo Fu.
The moment they made contact, the Evil Ghost Luo Fu quickly understood the young Luo Fu's experiences.
Born in an orphanage, he had nowhere to go after the orphanage was acquired by a conglomerate. By chance, he met Master Roshi, who was out shopping for magazines. Through a series of coincidences, he became a disciple of the Turtle School, even earlier than Goku and Krillin.
Currently, Goku and Krillin haven't appeared yet. Luo Fu only knows from Master Roshi that he once had a senior brother named Gohan, but this top disciple had already graduated many years ago.
This is why Luo Fu from the Dragon Ball world has no idea about the specific time he is in.
The only certainty is that Goku and Krillin haven't become Master Roshi's disciples yet.
Furthermore, although he became a disciple of Master Roshi, this Dragon Ball Luo Fu's strength is not great. His aptitude for ki cultivation is terrible.
Master Roshi has regretted taking him as a disciple countless times.
After understanding Dragon Ball Luo Fu's experiences, the Evil Ghost Luo Fu patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. After you share our abilities and aptitudes this time, even if you're not a Saiyan, you'll probably have the confidence to fight with one."
While feeling the power shared from the Evil Ghost Luo Fu, Dragon Ball Luo Fu nodded vigorously.
The other Luo Fu, seemingly dressed in a suit and leather shoes, appeared to be from a modern, everyday world.
However, when everyone saw, during the sharing, that he had attended a class reunion arranged at Mount Tai, they were all stunned.
A class reunion at the foot of Mount Tai?
If it were just a simple class reunion, then the Luo Fu in the sharing space would at most regard it as a small bourgeois gathering.
But among the names of these classmates were several familiar figures.
Liu Yunzhi, Li Changqing, Wang Yan, Zhang Ziling, Liu Yiyi, Li Xiaoman, Lin Jia, Zhang Wenchang...
These names were one thing, but the key was that among these classmates, there was also someone named Ye Fan, and Ye Fan's good buddy was named Pang Bo.
In the sharing space, after a moment of stunned silence, many Luo Fus began to offer ideas.
"Oh my god, you're done for. You actually dared to be enemies with the future Emperor Ye Tian. You're doomed."
"That's right, how did you get involved with Liu Yunzhi? It seems like this Liu Yunzhi has been an enemy of Ye Hei since their student days. You... with just Liu Yunzhi, you probably won't even be able to pass the Croc Ancestor of Firefly, let alone get to the Northern Dipper."
"Northern Dipper? Don't forget, many people died during the Nine Dragons Coffin Pull at Mount Tai. Maybe this unlucky guy will die directly at Mount Tai and won't even be able to board the Nine Dragons Coffin."
"Stop gloating. After this guy shares our abilities, not only will he be able to overcome the dangers of Mount Tai, but even the Croc Ancestor above Firefly, as long as he doesn't appear in person, he will be able to go to the Northern Dipper safely. Just remember to find a way to get off Liu Yunzhi's sinking ship first. Even if you can't get on good terms with Ye Hei, don't be enemies with Ye Hei before landing on the Northern Dipper. Otherwise, without the Empress taking action, you might not even survive the attack of the Desolate Slaves of the Desolate Forbidden Land."
After learning that this Luo Fu in a suit and leather shoes actually came from a vast and immense Xuanhuan world, where the so-called modern era was just the beginning of the real drama.
The Luo Fus from various worlds couldn't help but offer their advice.
In their eyes, if the Luo Fu from the Shrouding the Heavens world could grow, he would definitely be a powerhouse comparable to Marvel and Super God levels.
However, this guy's start is a bit unfavorable.
He got mixed up with Liu Yunzhi during his student days, and even fought with the future Emperor Ye Tian and Pang Bo.
It can be said that if he is truly resented by Ye Hei, and he is attacked before he grows up, then even gods will be difficult to save him.
"I didn't expect it either," the Luo Fu from the Shrouding the Heavens world said with a helpless wry smile. "Back when I was in school, my memories hadn't awakened yet. Plus, in my student days, I was full of youthful energy and put loyalty first. Who would have thought that among the ordinary classmates I offended back then, there would be a future Emperor of Heaven?"
"Say no more," the Luo Fu from Joy of Life patted the shoulder of the Luo Fu from Shrouding the Heavens and said, "Anyway, after graduation, you and Liu Yunzhi's group are no longer as close as you were in school. When you have a dinner party, you can have a friendly reconciliation with Ye Hei. In short, even if you can't befriend Ye Hei, try not to make enemies. In the short term, even if you share the abilities of all of us, you can't withstand the consequences of offending that Empress."
"Isn't that too stifling?" The Evil Ghost Luo Fu curled his lips in displeasure.
"It's just a little grudge from student days. It can't really last until Ye Hei becomes the Emperor of Heaven, right? Besides, now that I think about it, even back then, this guy didn't have much real hatred with Ye Hei," the Different Person Luo Fu continued.
"It was just a little youthful rivalry. Compared to the benefits of befriending Ye Hei, it's not like he's asking him to bow his head to Ye Hei, it's just a glass of wine. He can't be that petty, right? You've indeed cleared the game now, and the whole world regards you as a belief. There are no enemies outside the planet, so you can't let this guy provoke the future Emperor Ye Tian before he even leaves Earth, right? Don't forget, in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, after the Red Dust Immortal, you can travel through the river of time!"
"That's right, it's just a little youthful rivalry, there's no need to drag it out this far. Ye Hei isn't a petty person to begin with. You don't even need to bow your head, as long as you don't continue to target Ye Hei with Liu Yunzhi, and after boarding the Nine Dragons Coffin, stay away from your homeland, Ye Hei himself will take the initiative to befriend you in order to survive! Relax!" The Ninja World Luo Fu also comforted him.
It must be admitted that this Luo Fu from the world of Shrouding the Heavens actually had a falling out with Ye Hei since his student days, which really caught everyone in the sharing space off guard.
At this moment, the various suggestions all boil down to one meaning: before you have grown up, offending Ye Hei, a person with a dark heart and ruthless hands, who has the Empress, a suspected half-step Red Dust Immortal, watching over him, is definitely not a good idea.
Even if you are not careful, the moment you land on the Northern Dipper, it may be a situation with a slim chance of survival.
"Alas..." The Luo Fu of Shrouding the Heavens sighed faintly and said, "Actually, if I hadn't received the invitation this time, I would have almost forgotten that there was a conflict between me and Ye Fan back then. The little contradiction in my student days, I have indeed forgotten almost completely. Don't worry, I won't continue to be involved with Liu Yunzhi, after all, after so many years since graduation, although this bastard has done well, he has not helped me once. If I continue to collude with him, I will be mentally ill."
"That's good." Everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In short, when dealing with Ye Hei, even if you can't befriend him, try not to make any more enemies. We are still waiting for you to become a Red Dust Immortal or even an Immortal Emperor in the future, to give everyone a hand."
"Yes, your world is a huge treasure for us, and it is of great help to all of us. Although on the surface, Shrouding the Heavens seems to be a Xuanhuan world, the development of the technology side should not be underestimated," said the Super God Luo Fu. "I remember that in that world, there seems to be Emperor Daoyan, who specialized in proving the Dao with external objects, and also left behind a mecha Emperor weapon."
Looking at the many selves present with a dark face, the Luo Fu of Shrouding the Heavens said, "Are you all advising me to befriend Ye Hei just hoping that I will seek benefits for you?"
"Otherwise?" The Evil Ghost Luo Fu, who was just resisting bowing his head to Ye Hei, suddenly said in a matter-of-factly manner, "You have taken a big advantage after we all shared with each other. You can't turn your back on people, right?"
"Alright, I know what to do. Although Ye Hei and I had a very bad relationship in our student days, even it can be said that we were enemies, but after so many years since graduation, the little contradiction back then has long been almost forgotten. Haven't you all noticed? After graduation, because Ye Hei and I were in the same city, we even went out for a drink together."
"Didn't notice? Is there such a thing?" The Different Person Luo Fu blinked.
