Chapter 2615: Chapter 1753: Feint to the East, Strike to the West
Before truly confronting Duanmu Huai, the blonde woman was full of confidence.
To her, the worst the other party could do was kill her, so what was there to be afraid of?
But... cutting off four limbs, stuffing a gag, and taking her away wrapped up?
Is this something humans could think of?!
Just imagining that scene sent chills down the blonde woman’s spine.
Moreover, Duanmu Huai really hit her weakness—she could resurrect from numerous descendants, but her soul was only one!
If this body doesn’t die, she truly has no way to be reborn in another!
Should she just commit suicide now and escape?
But, really escape?
Dying like this, the blonde woman felt somewhat unwilling; she had orchestrated and planned for so long. Yet now, she was forced by the other party to not even be able to make a move, and the strategies she thought could subdue Duanmu Huai, none were used—the opponent didn’t care about her threats at all!
This left the blonde woman somewhat unsettled.
After all, she had planned for hundreds or thousands of years!
Reincarnating again and again, laying plans, all for today. She considered her schemes flawless and even fantasized countless times about how Duanmu Huai would despair, how miserably he would fall before her. Yet, now all of this turned into a mirage—even if you have immense skills, the other party has to be willing to play chess with you.
If the other person simply doesn’t want to play and only wants to smash the board over your head, being a chess master is of no use.
Indeed, the blonde woman never calculated that Duanmu Huai simply didn’t care about the humans of this world!
No, it can’t be, maybe he’s just bluffing!?
It’s like a gambler putting all of their painstakingly saved fortune of millennia on the table and then being told they would lose, would she believe it?
In the end, the blonde woman decided—to take a gamble!
If she won, she would celebrate with models, if not... she would just commit suicide!
So she exerted all her strength, manipulating all the Noise to attack Duanmu Huai!
Go all in on this bet!
Countless monsters descended from the sky, like a Milky Way waterfall cascading down, rushing toward Duanmu Huai. Meanwhile, Duanmu Huai halted his steps, gripped the Chainsaw Sword in his hand, and swung forward forcefully!
"Wooosh—————!"
The Chainsaw Sword spun out from Duanmu Huai’s hand, like a flying sword or a missile, rushing into the torrent of Noise. Immediately, countless monsters shattered and exploded, while the spinning Chainsaw Sword did not stop at all, directly cleaving open the waterfall before it and charging straight into the gaping portal!
Simultaneously, Duanmu Huai clenched his fist tightly!
"—————————!"
A dazzling brilliance exploded from the Chainsaw Sword at that moment.
Energy, condensed, shaped, and formed by the spiritual power of all the spectators of that world, turned into flames at this instant, igniting the Divine Fire of Destruction. The blazing pure white brilliance devoured everything; everyone felt their vision go completely blank as if staring directly into a flash bomb. All the scenery, lines, and shadows completely vanished under the pure, blinding light.
People screamed, covering their eyes, instinctively curling their bodies; they could only hear the roaring sound, like waves crashing against rocks, surging by their ears and disappearing behind them.
The Power Armor on Duanmu Huai shattered completely at that moment, but at this instant, he didn’t care at all. Instead, he extended his right hand forward, and a sharp crimson blade emerged—a Sun Wheel Blade used by Duanmu Huai to vanquish evil spirits!
"Puchi!"
Muscle was pierced and torn, and the sharp, crimson blade stabbed into the blonde woman’s chest, then protruded from the back, piercing through her heart.
The blonde woman opened her eyes, looking at Duanmu Huai in front of her, feeling the heart-wrenching pain coming from her heart, yet at this moment, she became even more exhilarated!
She’s dead!
This guy failed!
Though she would die in this body, soon her soul would resurrect in another!
Feeling her breath vanish, her body powerless, yet at this moment, the blonde woman was exceedingly excited. She could feel her soul emerging like a butterfly from a chrysalis, spreading its wings, trying to break free from the constraints of the shell, flying to the sky...
Thinking of this, the blonde woman couldn’t help but glance at Duanmu Huai, but she soon realized his expression was beyond her expectation.
It was not an expression of miscalculation or failure; instead, Duanmu Huai was staring straight at her, a hint of triumph in his gaze.
Eh?
Wait, why this expression?
Clearly, she escaped...
"Plop."
Before the blonde woman could figure it out, suddenly, a hand that appeared to be condensed from blood stretched out from Duanmu Huai’s sword, grabbing her wrist.
What is this!?
The blonde woman looked in horror at the hand grabbing her wrist, no, strictly speaking—grabbing her soul!
What on earth is happening?
"Plop, plop, plop!"
But it wasn’t over yet.
Soon, one hand after another emerged from Duanmu Huai’s sword, grabbing the blonde woman’s body, seizing her hair, holding her waist and thighs, like drowning water ghosts, desperately pulling her down!
"No, no, don’t—let me go!"
At this moment, the blonde woman seemed to have finally realized something and screamed in terror.
She finally discovered that she had indeed been fooled!
"Hmph..."
Watching the struggling soul of the Star God, Duanmu Huai slightly curled his lips, revealing a cold smile.
Indeed, she had been deceived.
Actually, ever since that Star God had boasted about being able to reincarnate, Duanmu Huai had already thought about how to deal with her.
Indeed, because Duanmu Huai’s Power Armor was formed by a projection of spiritual power from audiences of another world, in terms of sheer strength, Duanmu Huai could defeat this "fallen" Star God with his Power Armor.
However, defeating her was easy, but erasing her completely was difficult.
As this fellow herself claimed, even if she was killed, she would be reborn.
But Duanmu Huai also had a method to restrain the opponent—that was with the Sun Wheel Blade.
In terms of strength, this blade was nowhere near Duanmu Huai’s Chainsaw Sword. After all, although the Sun Wheel Blade was the first weapon Duanmu Huai obtained in this world, he merely picked it up from someone else. Even after its maintenance and upkeep upon returning to the modern world, it was ultimately still an ordinary sword, completely different from the Chainsaw Sword, which was formed by spiritual power and enhanced by the God of Destruction’s Power.
Thus, if Duanmu Huai used this Sun Wheel Blade against the Star God, the most likely scenario was that she would break it with just a move.
However, this blade, when wielded by Duanmu Huai, had a special characteristic: it could confine all the souls it killed within it, burning, consuming, and transforming them into its own power.
If Duanmu Huai were dealing with an enemy other than a Star God, the Sun Wheel Blade alone would be sufficient.
Unfortunately, this was a Star God.
It’s like using a rifle to hunt deer is fine, but when facing a Tyrannosaurus Rex, you’d better surrender.
Duanmu Huai had killed a fair share of ghosts, but their strength was insufficient to deal with a Star God.
Then, there remained one option: to force her to demonstrate goodwill by unleashing all her power; once she had exhausted her strength, she would have no excess power to defend against the Sun Wheel Blade’s attack, allowing Duanmu Huai to drive the Sun Wheel Blade into her body at the opportune moment.
If everything went smoothly, Duanmu Huai could accomplish something that only the Space Undead had managed before.
Confining a Star God’s soul!
Of course, this was partially because the Star God was too young, as it had almost always been in an unawakened state before. If other Star Gods were postgraduates, this one was probably at a primary school level—yes, Duanmu Huai indeed bullied kids.
But so what?
For the Tribunal, it’s standard procedure to punch the elderly in Nanshan Old Age Home and kick the kids in Hokkai Kindergarten!
If it didn’t succeed, then as Duanmu Huai said, cutting off her limbs and stuffing a gag in her mouth to turn her into a blow-up doll while taking it slowly was fine. Duanmu Huai had long known that the so-called suicide by biting one’s tongue was nothing more than artistic exaggeration in movies and TV shows; a person attempting to commit suicide couldn’t succeed with just biting their tongue.
So... Just stay obediently!
Gripping the hilt tightly, Duanmu Huai glared at the struggling soul of the Star God, who was being steadily drawn toward the blood-red blade.
"No... Don’t... Help me!"
"I understand."
With the Star God’s screams, an even voice emerged suddenly behind Duanmu Huai.
Next, heaven and earth reversed.
The cold stage turned from virtual to reality, covering the original world—only soon, tumor-like flesh erupted from the wooden, cold inorganic floor, becoming a carpet of decaying flesh. The stage, previously rotating, began to warp and deform. Gears clashed and interlocked, then were blocked by flesh, emitting the sound of tearing agony.
"I knew you’d appear here."
Duanmu Huai didn’t even turn around, knowing what was behind him—a talking giraffe doing non-human things.
And—Hei Chuan Chi Yin.
At this moment, she was facing away from Duanmu Huai, her arms raised, watching the enemy before her.
"The north wind and the sun, working together, huh."
Duanmu Huai eyed the pale-faced Star God soul before him, coldly sneered.
"You’re really playing, huh? Did you create this thing too? Playing this big?"
"I understand your thoughts."
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s ridicule, the giraffe’s tone remained unhurried.
"You understand nothing."
Duanmu Huai dismissed it.
"Who said you understood? I only want you dead."
"This is also a stage."
As the giraffe spoke, the part of the stage untainted by flesh began to transform again, soon, accompanied by the spotlight’s beam, a girl’s silhouette emerged.
"Then, can lost souls find a home? What conclusion will all this reach ultimately?"
The giraffe’s voice suddenly surged.
"Please enjoy the final stage—FATE’S RAVUE! Now unveiled!"
With the giraffe’s words, the girl brandished a sharp blade, charging toward Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin!
