It's hard to say if Death was in a hurry, but Dumpling certainly was.
When he saw the giant meteor falling from the sky, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Although he wanted to see Chris in a sorry state, he absolutely did not want this interesting big guy to die, especially not indirectly because of his actions.
As endless dust filled the air and Dumpling lost sight of Chris, he anxiously searched for any available items nearby, wanting to save Chris.
"NONONO! Chris, don't die! I'm still waiting for you to get your revenge!"
Through his wristband detection, Dumpling found that Chris's life signs were critically low, and he estimated that he would completely die before long.
Realizing this, Dumpling acted with increasing urgency. He picked up his tools and began to modify and activate the dormant pod that housed Chris's talent.
With his good brother on the verge of death, Jiaozi's (Dumpling) abilities were pushed to their limit. The dormant pod before him changed shape several times in an instant, like a scene from a comedic cartoon.
After the final transformation, Dumpling raised his hand and threw the dragon blood beverage he had been drinking into the dormant pod... which should now be called a temporal pod.
Then, Dumpling activated the temporal teleportation device, and over twenty bottles of ordinary dragon blood beverage were sent to Chris's side via Jiaozi's (Dumpling) wristband connection.
The originally dying Chris sensed the foreign objects by his hand. Like grabbing a life raft, he used all his strength to move his shattered fingers and flick his broken bones.
With a 'poof', the plastic bottle containing the dragon blood beverage broke, and the orange-red liquid inside gushed out.
As the beverage spread over Chris's body, his still-living cells eagerly absorbed the high-energy liquid.
As one bottle of dragon blood beverage was absorbed by Chris's arm cells, his index finger had completely regrown and could barely move freely.
Using his index finger, Chris slowly dragged his arm towards the remaining dragon blood beverages, then used his index finger to forcefully poke open the bottle caps, allowing his cells to absorb the energy within.
By the time over twenty bottles of high-energy beverage were completely absorbed by Chris, most of his body had finally recovered, temporarily saving his life.
However, this was not enough; Chris still needed more energy to replenish his body to fully recover.
The massive explosion caused by the meteor's impact was too powerful. Although Chris was far from the center of the highest damage, his body was still shattered by the explosion.
Over ninety percent of his body's cells had their activity annihilated by the shockwave; otherwise, Chris wouldn't have been sprawled on the ground like a liquid.
If Dumpling hadn't provided cross-temporal support, Chris was prepared to wait a bit, then compel his still-active cells to self-cannibalize his body to preserve his life as much as possible!
But with Jiaozi's (Dumpling) support, Chris wouldn't be so pathetic as to resort to self-eating.
"Hey, Stewie? Are you listening? Can you send some more dragon blood beverage over?"
Chris sat up. He still had two calves, one arm, and unimportant areas like his ears and nose that hadn't been repaired.
So, after realizing he had used up all the dragon blood beverage, Chris shouted into his wristband, hoping Dumpling would hear him.
Meanwhile, Dumpling in the Family Guy World had already gone to get more beverages after sending the ones he had.
At this moment, Dumpling, pushing a small cart, happened to hear Chris's shout and said with an exasperated laugh, "I really should have let that idiot die there. Does he think I'm not thorough?"
Despite his grumbling, Dumpling still sent the two boxes of beverages from the small cart into the temporal pod and activated the transmission again.
As the beverages in the temporal pod disappeared, the two boxes of beverages appeared before Chris.
"fuck! I really should have given this guy some spatial equipment; carrying these beverages is truly exhausting!"
Seeing Chris in the projection pick up a beverage and drink it, Dumpling sat down on a chair, fuming. Then he realized he had forgotten to save a bottle of dragon blood beverage for himself to replenish his energy.
After Chris drank three more bottles, all his cells were fully restored to their original state, and he excitedly said, "Thanks, Stewie! I'll repay you well when I get back!"
Dumpling heard Chris's promise of repayment and laughed excitedly, completely oblivious to how heavy Chris's tone was.
"Hahaha, this guy is still so polite; it wasn't in vain that I cared for him so much."
The happy Dumpling had forgotten who was responsible for Chris enduring so many hardships, and he hadn't considered how suspicious it was that he had exposed his knowledge of Chris's experiences multiple times.
So, in Chris's heart, Death, the tool, had to be killed, and Dumpling, the mastermind, also needed to be dealt with.
After saying those perfunctory words to Dumpling, Chris picked up the remaining dragon blood beverage and walked out into the smoke, naked.
Because the dust raised by the meteor's impact was too great, Chris was completely disoriented, so he decided to walk out of this dusty area first.
After cellular remodeling, Chris's physical potential was re-stimulated, and with the replenishment from the dragon blood beverage, his physique was now even stronger.
He didn't know the specific increase in strength, but when he was desperately fleeing earlier, Chris could clearly feel that he had touched the sound barrier.
This indicated that Chris's current speed was at least over three hundred meters per second, extremely close to the speed of sound, which is 340 meters per second.
Such an exaggerated speed meant that even if Chris was just strolling, he had already reached his original maximum level.
That is, a speed of over a hundred meters per second.
But now, this speed could only be considered normal, not even a warm-up.
However, even if Chris walked at this speed for several tens of minutes, he still hadn't left the smoke-shrouded area. The dust cloud ejected into the stratosphere covered the sun, making the land dim, like a doomsday scene.
Seeing this, Chris no longer insisted on finding Iris.
Not to mention that the crazy woman might not have any clues about Death that would be useful to Chris, the impact of such a large meteor would cause panic among the civilians living in the nearby states.
Iris might even move because of it.
After all, the more chaotic a place, the easier it is for Death to strike.
That woman was extremely cautious and would certainly not overlook any danger appearing around her.
So, after considering these things, Chris decided to return to town first and then carefully consider the abnormal attack Death had launched against him.
Chris had a premonition that he must have done something, something that could threaten Death.
That's why Death was so shameless, directly bringing a meteor to smash him.
Chris didn't know if Death's actions came at a cost, but even if there was no cost, it definitely meant that Chris had done something that drove Death crazy.
Now, what he needed to do was find out what that thing was, and then do it a few more times.
By doing so, he could detect more of Death's weaknesses and see if he could directly kill him!
