Just as Lu Cang was having the idea of ​​making a deal.

Suddenly, a black mist began to spread outward from Lu Cang's body.

Located within Lu Cang's Sea of ​​Mind, the turbid waters that influenced Lu Cang's consciousness were also covered and hidden by this black mist.

Lu Cang's mind regained its clarity.

Tissit...

After her previous encounter with Lu Cang, Tisi planted a protective seed for him once again.

Although the Secret is not particularly adept at dealing with psychological influences, it still has methods to handle things at this level.

"Tsk."

"secret."

Entimemes can notice hidden presences.

A purple twilight also appeared on Entimemes.

The chaos in Entimemas's weapon gradually faded.

This is a black and red scepter.

[Artifact - Eternal Hatred]

A magical artifact...

Does this guy possess a fully-fledged divine weapon?

Lu Cang's mind was also focused to its peak in an instant.

Counterfeits, replicas, projections, damaged items, contaminated versions of the artifact...

They are all far from being truly complete divine artifacts.

When facing a fully upgraded divine weapon, one must never act carelessly.

"Entimesis".

"Now is not the time."

But suddenly...

A voice echoed in Entimemes' mind.

Lu Cang also vaguely saw that a slender, pale purple hand seemed to be resting on Entimesis's shoulder.

Entimes looked at Lu Cang with a complicated expression.

But in the end, the [Eternal Hatred] in its hand was gradually covered by chaos again, and it returned to its indeterminate form.

It said in a cold tone, "You should have figured it out by now."

"This is not our final battlefield."

Lu Cang gripped his greatsword tightly, ready to enter the state of [Ultimate Unity of Power] and use [Transcendence: Ultimate Breakthrough] to fight back.

Lu Cang couldn't use the Reincarnation Slash.

That's a skill that only the true possessor of the Arrogance Physique can use; Lu Cang has no way to "borrow" the power of Arrogance.

However, Lu Cang had never used a nine-star skill in this state before.

It's unknown what will happen after this attack is launched.

Lu Cang didn't attack immediately, but instead asked, "Since you need me to kill you in order to complete your ritual..."

"Why are you still struggling?"

Entimersis heard the question.

But he smiled.

"Heh... Perhaps you have some misunderstandings about the content of my ritual."

Upon hearing this answer...

In that instant, countless answers flashed through Lu Cang's mind. Wasn't it about becoming stronger through death?

Was it because of the battle?

Get stronger through battles?

Absorb the opponent's skills?

Completed by taking advantage of the opponent's promotion ceremony...

Lu Cang stared at Entimesis.

This guy.

Thinking of this, Lu Cang seemed to suddenly understand.

Lu Cang seemed to understand that the other party did not become stronger because it was killed, but rather it used his advancement ceremony.

Your own promotion ceremony is also a promotion for it!

Stealing someone else's ritual to fulfill oneself.

"Hehe, did you guess it?"

"But it may not be what you think."

"Or are you going to give up your own path to promotion for the sake of your conjecture, an unrealistic and potentially untrue conjecture?"

Entimes sneered.

"Of course I can be killed by you, just kill me like that."

"Go and complete your final ritual."

"You relied on secrecy, forgot a part of your memories... created me, and completed your scheme."

"But do you still have any backup plans?"

puff--

Amidst its nonsense, Lu Cang took action once again.

Hesitation will inevitably lead to chaos.

Entimesis's body collapsed again, its weaknesses repeatedly exploited by Lu Cang, but it still exuded a cold, mocking aura: "Is there any need to say more?"

"Yes, I know you so well."

"How could you be swayed by just a few words from me?"

The red and white greatsword once again cleaved Entimemes in two.

Lu Cang said in a cold tone, "You're really being a bit noisy."

"I don't remember being such a talkative person."

Entimes opened his arms.

Without any intention of retaliating, they deliberately allowed themselves to be killed by Lu Cang, facing his attack head-on.

You will see me again.

"You need to understand, it's not that I don't understand you, it's that you haven't understood me yet."

"When you gradually learn the truth, I think you will understand."

Lu Cang showed no mercy, and Entimes was torn to pieces time and time again.

It did not consciously put up a last-ditch resistance as the final boss.

It might have had the ability to make Lu Cang fight a tough battle, but it didn't.

As Lu Cang slashed at Entimesis, he tried to figure out what had happened.

A true god...

At least a true god-level being brought him back.

If it is a true god...

That leaves so much room for manipulation: mind control, thought manipulation, implantation of ideas, distortion of reality...

Lu Cang didn't know whether he was being used or if it was his true thought.

The final stage.

Lu Cang raised his sword to face Entimes.

Even with only one life left, Entimemas made no attempt to resist.

"Aren't you going to stop me?"

"Heh, I never intended to stop you in the first place..."

"I didn't remember before because I couldn't ruin the plan."

"If you had realized my existence earlier, you wouldn't have come to this final step."

"Is there any way back for you now?"

clatter--

Lu Cang reappeared, already behind Entimesis. His life was cut short by Lu Cang in a very short time. For a stationary target, Lu Cang could smash thousands of weak points in an instant.

"You talk too much nonsense."

Bang!

The sixty-fourth-level Entimemes was reduced to colorful fragments.

"Oh……"

"You definitely won, and you won beautifully."

"Go and celebrate your victory, Lu Cang. Congratulations on getting one step closer to your end."

Looking at the countless fragments of Entimemes, Lu Cang felt no joy of victory.

As he said.

This is definitely not the last time.

If his existence is real, it means that there is another person in this world just like him.

Lu Cang possesses memories of three lifetimes and is directly supported by a true god.

What's even more troublesome is...

He is the enemy who knows himself best...

If he still exists, and continues to oppose himself.

The fact that I am still alive in this world will probably not be kept secret for long.

"This is... a huge problem."

After Entimes dissipated, Lu Cang entered the thirty-seventh floor again.

This is the last time we'll be on the 37th floor.
