"Little youngster bro, are you feeling moody, nauseated, almost as if someone was sharing your life with you?" Killer J asked as his figure stepped out from the rain of blades. He had already discarded his body ever since a while ago, his current body was created completely out of hostility, which could be easily rebuilt and restructured as long as he had hostility.
"So it was another one of your tricks!" Meng Luo exclaimed.
He was really panicking, having already triple-checked himself, first using Cede to scan through every last corner in his body, then used several Cede curses to scan for any sort of poison or other Cede curses, but he still couldn't find a single issue.
"You are…" Killer J pulled a stethoscope as well as a white lab coat out of thin air and declared with a serious expression: "Pregnant!"
"Wha—" Meng Luo froze for a single second. In order for Meng Luo to understand, he had even used True Words to say the word 'pregnant'. As soon as Meng Luo understood what 'pregnant' meant, he also realized that he was being played around with by Killer J.
A gust of wind howled around his body, he appeared almost like a humanoid serpent as more and more power started gathering towards him.
Meng Luo's [Protagonist Aura] had been activated by more than half, and as the representative 'ruler of all things' and 'king of people', the power he could utilize was extremely vast.
As far as Killer J could see, Meng Luo's power was at the peak of the second stage of release at most, but after fully unleashing his restraints, combined with reinforcing power from the Ancestral Wild, his strength had shot up to the third stage of release. Additionally, he also entered a unique state where his power was able to bend the rules of the surrounding environment and exert 300% of his original power.
This was Meng Luo's trump card. He had used the beast tooth to explore his environment and became enlightened to a state that he called 'Inner God'. While under this state, all of his senses would transcend his body and seemingly enter the Ancestral Wild itself, then by borrowing the Ancestral Wild's control over the surface world, he would gain a faux sensation of holding control over the entire world.
It was as if God had literally entered his body and he was wielding the authority of God.
And within this state, he was capable of exerting power similar to that of a Grand Shaman, as well as gaining some abilities that even he felt to be unresolvable.
"DIE!"
Right at this moment, Meng Luo saw through the essence of Killer J's existence as bright red hostility that filled this entire space, as well as the depths of Space-Time, while his soul was actually residing within a strange space weaved together by this hostility.
In this manner, the 'him' you killed would always be an avatar he created while his soul remained completely safe as his hostility was swiftly replenished.
It's your fault for toying with me and not being serious in combat, now go to hell.
Meng Luo thought to himself. Killer J was indeed a terrifying opponent, but the other party was obviously underestimating him, so when he saw through Killer J's nature, his abrupt burst of strength would allow him to retaliate and kill him before he realized what happened!
Everything around Meng Luo seemed to fall under his control at this very moment, destroying all the hostility in the environment at once.
The countless bright red blades exploded at the same time. Meanwhile, Meng Luo's entire body practically turned into a flash of light as he used the God-like senses he had gained to accurately discern the space that Killer J was residing in right when his hostility was destroyed, then rushed straight into it in an unstoppable manner.
At that exact moment, a terrifying omen appeared in Meng Luo's heart, the beast tooth that Meng Luo had hung in front of his chest also activated its power to forcefully pull him back out.
A horrifying gigantic maw abruptly appeared in front of Meng Luo at that exact moment and chomped down. It had swallowed his right arm as well as a large amount of his power at the same time.
Following that, the gaping maw turned back into a small metallic gate that wanted to disappear but was caught by Killer J before it could.
"You think you're the only one with a cheat around here?" Killer J ignored the intense protests of the metal gate and shoved it into his crotch.
Trying to run after offending this Killer J? Get real!
Meng Luo was sweating bullets as he mobilized his Cede and vitality, attempting to regrow his right arm, but he felt as if the concept of 'right arm' didn't exist in his life at all, and the power that was contained within the arm had also been permanently lost.
This sensation of being incomplete caused Meng Luo to feel like he was being tortured. Even his originally tanned face became darker as he gritted his teeth and activated his life-saving ability without hesitation.
His body then instantly became transparent as a serpent replaced him before it also vanished into a puff of light. He had dissolved his own body to enter his Totem, then returned the Totem into the Ancestral Wild before transporting to another location through the Ancestral Wild.
This powerful life-saving ability was the reason why he dared act so recklessly.
Killer J didn't try to pursue him because an immense force had abruptly pressed and pushed him into the ground. Cracks formed all around him like a spiderweb as his hostility body was being massively distorted. An immense force then entered his body, attempting to pull both his soul and the gate out from the hidden location.
"I'm taking the blame again!!"
Swiftly after he said that, a similarly immense force directed all of the pressure away as the two consciousnesses silently clashed.
…
「 DAMN YOU! 」the Desolate spirit was rampaging in rage, affecting countless Desolates in the process. They all felt like there was a wounded wild beast in their minds, thrashing and ripping everything apart.
〖 What you're saying doesn't make sense 〗Negary was fighting against the berserk Desolate spirit, but he was perfectly calm and collected as always. Desolates were still only Desolates, it didn't matter if he was the collective wisdom of the Desolates' countless years, an obsolete entity couldn't deny the fact that it was obsolete.
〖 Who actually gave you the courage to bring the [Protagonist] into my territory? 〗Negary continued to rile the Desolate spirit up.
He understood the other party's thoughts perfectly well. Simply put, he had thought that he might be able to regain a bit of advantage after seeing the [Protagonist Aura] being activated to this degree.
This line of thinking was nothing short of being completely stupid, as well as a severe underestimation of Negary. Negary had purposely put Yun Yi on the front lines and given him plenty of privileges to test if the Desolate spirit could endure seeing this bait or not. As things turned out, he could not.
Yun Yi had now surpassed his original destiny of being the deuteragonist. With a combination of Negary's planning and Killer J's execution, by using the Divine Artifact that The Unreachable Gate turned into, as well as Negary's authority as one-third of the world's spirit, a ritual was arranged to steal the 'luck' of the [Protagonist] Meng Luo.
Essentially, what The Unreachable Gate ate away wasn't just an arm and a part of Meng Luo's power. A part of Meng Luo's [Protagonist Aura] was literally eaten and thrown to Yun Yi.
And it was during the process of the [Protagonist Aura]'s transfer that Negary exposed a small opening for the Desolate spirit to attack Killer J.
〖 I'll probably be bothered by that guy again 〗Negary was feeling a bit helpless with Killer J now. As the embodiment of his irrational chaotic side, Killer J had a deep connection with him; and every time that guy got bullied for something similar, he would always make a tearful pitiful face and force Negary to look.
Especially after obtaining The Unreachable Gate Divine Artifact, Negary was finding it difficult to not look at him since he would always find a suitable place to show off his pitiful expression.
Of course, this was also a part of Negary's fun. Whenever Killer J used The Unreachable Gate, he would provide Negary a bit of inspiration and helplessly realize his own shortcomings in order to further improve. Additionally, finally getting his hands on that annoying guy and punishing him was also a kind of pastime.
[Month 9, day 27, big black pushed me down and scraped me against the ground, I'll remember this grudge]
Right after finishing his diary entry, when Killer J was about to find a place that Negary still hadn't discovered to send his pitiful emotions, a bad omen suddenly rushed to his head.
"Why do I feel like I just got another mark in a blacklist somewhere?" Killer J shivered from top to bottom, then smiled: "The Boss probably won't hold a grudge, he would definitely not do such a thing, just like how this Killer J has never not bear a grudge"
After shivering, Killer J continued to run off and seek death.
