Chapter 37: A Comeback from Desperate Circumstances?
Chapter 37: A Comeback from Desperate Circumstances?
Sixty seconds, just sixty more seconds, and I should be able to burst out laughing.
Liu Musen could no longer suppress the smile on his face.
By manipulating blood to constantly harass Bai Yan, he was forced to defend, which gave the Transformation Spear a chance to replenish its bullets. In order to conserve power, Liu Musen did not directly use the Blood Moon Divine Power to replenish the bullets, but instead casually replenished some ordinary first-tier bullets.
Even so, Bai Yan couldn't withstand it with his bare hands; he needed to be constantly on guard against attacks that could come from anywhere.
This means that even though Baiyan doesn't consume much energy in each defense, he still needs to use saturation defense. Otherwise, if he gets hit by a bullet and causes a new wound, the blood that flows out will become a new weapon for the enemy.
Baiyan's lack of long-range capabilities makes it extremely vulnerable.
At least for this moment, Liu Musen achieved a tactical victory.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon achieve a de facto victory.
Bai Yan's movements became increasingly weak, and he even stopped chasing, turning to defend in place.
"Thirty seconds, thirty seconds left..."
Liu Musen estimated the time; Bai Yan would most likely not be able to hold on much longer, and then it would be time for him to take revenge on his enemy.
No, he must hold back! He can't laugh until the real victory arrives.
"Hahaha! I can't take it anymore! I can't hold back!"
At this moment, Bai Yan had already knelt on the ground, trying to minimize his vulnerable area. His body was covered with ethereal divine power, protecting him like a tortoise shell.
Sensing that Bai Yan's divine power was becoming increasingly dim, Liu Musen was almost 100% certain that the remaining divine power in Bai Yan's body was completely insufficient for him to launch an attack, or even to defend himself again.
The advantage is simply too great. To trample on an old enemy and beat a dog when it's down is something no one could resist.
If Liu Musen didn't seize this opportunity to humiliate the other person to death, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
As expected, Bai Yan was unable to defend against the remaining attacks and took them all, resulting in several more gashes on his body.
At this moment, Bai Yan's body was filled with the brutal power of the Blood Moon God. If Liu Musen had a single thought, he could have taken his life instantly.
Liu Musen estimated that he was close to the kill line, so he used the little blood moon divine power he had left to condense the last second-tier bullet and finally couldn't help but step forward.
Liu Musen revealed a hearty laugh: "Hehehe, look at your pathetic posture. Are you kneeling on the ground to beg for my forgiveness? You're just a piece of trash. I love seeing that unwilling yet helpless look in your eyes."
Liu Musen pressed the gun against Bai Yan's forehead: "Do you have any last words? Say them so I can have some fun."
Bai Yan slowly raised his head and met his gaze.
Liu Musen had expected to see regret or pain in the other person's eyes, but what he saw was a burning scarlet flame.
The somewhat familiar divine energy fluctuations reminded him of a cultist colleague he had met in the church, because the other party worshipped another evil god who was temporarily on the same side as the 'Crimson Moon'.
Lord of the Storm!
The Blood Moon seeks evolution, while the Lords of the Tide are driven by pure destruction; they are a group of madmen even more fanatical than the Blood Moon followers.
They used bodies and souls as fuel, igniting a raging fire that would engulf the world, seeking to burn everything to ashes.
The artifact Bai Yan is currently using is a divine relic from the 'Burning Ashes' pantheon, which was also the first prize obtained from the Black Box: the Crimson Blood Blade.
Wang Yu gave this divine relic to Bai Yan as a reward for his awakening.
Bai Yan knew he was no match for Liu Musen and was being outmaneuvered, so he was waiting for an opportunity, a chance for his opponent to lower his guard.
Finally, when his ethereal divine power was exhausted, Liu Musen couldn't help but come closer. He took this opportunity to activate the Crimson Blood Blade, igniting himself to gain the power of the Blood Flame.
The instant their eyes met, Liu Musen felt a sharp pain in his soul, and his blood began to boil as if it were about to be set on fire!
boom!
Without hesitation, Liu Musen also pulled the trigger. With this attack coming so close, Bai Yan had no chance of dodging it.
The blood flames that burn everything are not truly inextinguishable. As long as Bai Yan is killed quickly enough, and the flames are extinguished before they are ignited, he will not die.
To perish together is impossible!
However... he made the wrong choice this time.
hum!
A large amount of chaotic divine power surged out from Bai Yan's body again, narrowly averting the attack that was within reach.
"How is that possible!"
Liu Musen didn't know about the Void God System and the Chaos God System, so he naturally couldn't distinguish the specific differences between them. When Bai Yan blocked his attack earlier, he thought it was just some ability of the opponent's unknown god system.
No matter how hard he tried, he could never have imagined that Bai Yan actually possessed two divine systems at the same time!
The awakening of a pantheon is not a simple matter of addition and subtraction. The conflict between the divine powers of different pantheons can easily lead to mutations if not handled carefully. Those who can master the power of two pantheons at the same time are all people with strong talent and willpower.
How could Bai Yan, a lowly scavenger who had been looked down upon in the settlement for over a decade, possibly be that kind of strongman?
To withstand the attack, Bai Yan released most of his chaotic divine power at once, dispersing the impact of the bullet from a single point to a wider area. Even so, his head was still hit hard, and he nearly lost consciousness, compounded by his original injuries.
If Liu Musen could concentrate his divine power and control the blood in Bai Yan's body, he could easily kill Bai Yan.
However, if this happens, Liu Musen will exhaust his divine power and completely lose the means to extinguish the blood flames. At that time, he will only be able to wait to die!
puff~
Suddenly, the sound of flesh burning came from his eye sockets, and a wisp of blood flame had successfully ignited, beginning to scorch his body.
"No! I can't die!"
The last of the Blood Moon's divine power must be used to extinguish the Blood Flames; it must not be exhausted. Otherwise, the only option is to use the Spear of Transformation to kill Bai Yan.
In his panic, Liu Musen made a second wrong choice.
Reloading the bullets takes time, and Bai Yan can't just watch him move. Although he is seriously injured, all he needs to do now is stall for time until Liu Musen is burned to death.
With Bai Yan's final effort, all the chaotic divine power within his body was released.
His consciousness had long been blurred, but under these circumstances, he entered a new state!
He seemed to see the scene from his previous awakening again, and witness the true chaos.
In this world, a 'miracle' is a real and tangible state.
When a person's will is strong enough, it can even influence the divine power itself, resonate with the authority and rules of the corresponding pantheon, and unleash a power that they could not control otherwise.
Moreover, in pantheons where gods already exist, it can be perceived by the gods, thus causing them to bestow miracles.
This is why some people can repeatedly create miracles when they are in dire straits.
"It's over."
Liu Musen was ashen-faced, and the situation seemed to have reached a dead end.
But just as he was falling into despair, he saw a figure in the ruins not far away.
Oh right, and that guy too! If we catch her, there's still a chance to turn things around!
