Ch 293: Repelling Xiao Shuai
Ji Chuan discovered he had mastered Pain Conversion, and Mao Jun was almost the fastest among the newcomers to become his believer.
This time, Ji Chuan didn’t directly have Su Shen bestow loyalty upon everyone; in the Different World, he had developed a habit of collecting genuine Faith Power.
And with these familiar faces, Ji Chuan felt it unnecessary. Except for the couple who were newcomers, he knew everyone else well; they were all trustworthy.
Ji Chuan sliced open his arm; he wanted to test the effectiveness of Mao Jun’s Pain Conversion.
But he discovered his pain sensation was low, with almost no ability increase. Unexpectedly, Mao Jun’s Red Crystal Core was useless to him.
At this point before, Lin Lulu was still at the Stronghold, but within the Gate, nobody knew Lin Lulu, meaning his past self hadn’t found her.
He had encountered Lin Lulu at the Gas Station, but by then, the Apocalypse had been going on for some time. She lacked Supplies, so she went to the convenience store at the gas station to look for them.
Could he meet her again now?
Recalling the scene in the Mirror of the Heart, Lin Lulu’s changes seemed to indicate a significant improvement in her abilities. Why was that…?
Was it because of that book? He should have asked Laila what that book was, but now there was no chance.
In this do-over, would Lin Lulu still go to the Different World? Or would she also have a chance to return from it?
Previously, at the time Tang Yue fell into a coma, Xu Hui’s reconstruction of her soul was key to preventing the world’s collapse.
But this time, with a complete do-over, did he still need to do that?
If this was necessary, and he didn’t do it this time, would this restarted world collapse? Did he have a chance to try?
Ji Chuan sighed, stopping himself from thinking further; he had other things to attend to right now.
He came to Xinze City; he needed to bring Xiao Shuai back.
Upon arrival, however, he found Xiao Shuai wasn’t on Guantang Street. He had clearly discovered him here, so where had Xiao Shuai gone…?
Ji Chuan furrowed his brows; all his other subordinates were in their original positions. Why wasn’t Xiao Shuai there…?
Ji Chuan’s mind conjured an ominous premonition. He remembered Xiao Shuai had followed a member of an Ability User Base, pinpointing the base’s location, and then began a massacre.
Could it be…?
Ji Chuan hurried to the vicinity of the Ability User Base.
Many corpses had already gathered on the ground. Shi Kai and Zhang Tai were tensely facing a Monster in the air; they had attacked many times, but it nimbly dodged them.
The opponent wore a constant smile, as if only playing a game with them, not taking them seriously at all.
What kind of Monster was that? Was it a Zombie? Why could a Zombie fly? With wings and a tail, could it be a Demon?
When Xiao Shuai saw Ji Chuan on the ground, his eyes were filled with shock. He quickly flew to Ji Chuan’s side, just about to kneel, but Ji Chuan’s alarm bells rang; this would affect his plans.
「Act as my opponent, attack me, don’t kill them!」
Xiao Shuai looked up, a little puzzled, but he quickly adjusted his state.
「Understood, Master.」
Xiao Shuai charged towards Ji Chuan at incredible speed; his claws struck Ji Chuan’s body, producing a sound like metal clashing.
Ji Chuan already sensed the presence of Extinction, but lacking Energy Perception, he wasn’t sure if it was being activated.
He had to quickly lure Xiao Shuai away, out of the range of Extinction’s activation.
But running was too slow, and using Space Transfer would lack an audience. He hoped to shake off his suspicion as a Zombie by fighting Xiao Shuai.
Just as he was worried, his body flew into the air. Ji Chuan widened his eyes in surprise.
What’s going on…? But seeing Xiao Shuai in front of him, he understood.
After re-establishing his connection with Xiao Shuai, he would also master Xiao Shuai’s abilities.
His past self hadn’t needed to use his subordinates’ abilities, but his current self desperately needed them.
Ji Chuan fought back and forth with Xiao Shuai, while protecting the Base.
“So fast! Who is he?!”
Shi Kai exclaimed. Although the Monster’s claws hadn’t broken through his Armor, he couldn’t attack it either.
And he always felt the Monster was holding back, while he couldn’t maintain his Combat Armor state for long. The energy under his feet was weakening; he felt his body gradually sinking.
Zhang Tai shook his head, “He’s not from our team, seems like a new face.”
The transparent Water Human quickly rushed towards the two engaged in battle, “Can you hold on? Let’s go help him!”
“Yes!”
Shi Kai followed behind. He had a strange feeling, a sense of familiarity with this person, as if he were trustworthy, but upon careful recollection, this was indeed their first meeting.
Fu Chengyu in the Monitoring Room anxiously stared at the screen, “Old Qin, wait, don’t activate it!”
The members killed by the winged Monster had gradually gotten back on their feet. The opponent was indeed a Zombie; why did this Zombie have such a form?
Two Special Grade Ability Users skilled in aerial combat couldn’t even hit the opponent. Just when he was at a loss, this young man appeared.
He hadn’t even noticed how the other party appeared here.
“Strong defense, strong strength, high speed, flight… That’s?!”
Fu Chengyu widened his eyes. Although the image was unclear, he felt that after the mysterious young man raised his hand, the space around the Monster seemed to be twisting.
The Monster’s face was extremely pained. Shi Kai’s mouth dropped in astonishment; this young man had done it! His attack had hit the Monster, and the attack’s power seemed immense!
Even while this Monster was entangled with the young man, Shi Kai’s laser and Zhang Tai’s water droplets were still easily dodged.
What astonishing perception and physical flexibility! He was like a natural aerial combat King. Even if the Zombie was human in life, could a human be so proficient in flight?!
And that mysterious young man was even heavier weight; engaging this Monster, he had the upper hand. The Monster was already injured, while the mysterious young man was unscathed!
“Human, why are you opposing me!”
Xiao Shuai’s tone turned sinister, no longer the ease he had shown when fighting Zhang Tai and Shi Kai.
“Opposing? The difference between us can’t be described as opposition!”
Shi Kai suddenly found the young man’s low voice quite nice. His confident words filled him with excitement.
“Hehe, arrogant human, the warm-up is over.”
The Zombies in front of the Base all withered; Chi Lin, who was about to burn the Zombies to ashes, found that they seemed to have lost their vitality.
Blood flew at an incredible speed towards the distant battlefield; the Blood Orb in Xiao Shuai’s hand grew larger and larger.
Shi Kai watched the strange Blood Orb with a bad premonition.
“Die!”
With a roar from Xiao Shuai, the Blood Orb exploded, countless blood droplets flying towards the three.
Shi Kai and Zhang Tai looked at this attack fearfully. This was completely undefendable; they didn’t know what the consequences of being hit would be.
Just as the two despaired, Ji Chuan stood before them. A huge Black Hole appeared in front of them, and all the blood entered the Black Hole.
“How…? What did you do?!”
Xiao Shuai’s voice trembled. Ji Chuan took advantage of his distraction, striking him hard and sending him crashing to the ground, creating a deep crater.
“Damn it! I’ll find you again!”
A Blood Mist appeared where Xiao Shuai fell; Xiao Shuai’s figure disappeared.
Ji Chuan also flew into the distance, a Black Hole appearing in the air.
“Wait! Hero, what is your name?!”
Shi Kai excitedly shouted; this was his savior.
“Just call me the God of Faith.”
