Chapter 112 Fungal Remains Frenzy (End) "Guild Master! Save me!"...
Cheng Xiuye's move was full of suicidal determination, with the resolve that he would rather die than let Nanmen Jue continue to live. This move was very effective, and the first thing to be frightened was the mycelium wrapped around him.
With the anchor destroyed, the world was thrown into turmoil. The spore mother, being a high-dimensional being, was the first to feel the fear of impending destruction. She screamed in Nanmen Jue's consciousness. Losing her control, the relatively weak mycelia could not continue and retreated from Cheng Xiuye's body, revealing his current appearance.
The area gnawed and corroded was even larger, with some parts of its body revealing its skull. Half of its ribs were completely exposed, and its heart was beating inside, rising and falling with its breath. Bones were also exposed on its face, and its mouth could no longer close. Its eyeballs, which had lost their eyelids, appeared particularly large and protruding, glaring fiercely at Nanmen Jue.
In his hand, he held an open scallop, but to Nanmen Jue's surprise, there was a faint green light inside.
Cheng Xiuye did not completely destroy the anchor point; he was still timid.
I overestimated you.
Under Cheng Xiuye's horrified gaze, Nanmen Jue pulled out something she rarely used—a gun—pointed it at his hand, and fired without hesitation.
Cheng Xiuye was horrified and threw what she was holding away. Nanmen Jue immediately adjusted his wrist angle and fired a shot, accurately shattering the anchor point and its protective shell.
A clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and suddenly a torrential downpour began.
“Nanmen Jue, you’ve really gone mad,” Cheng Xiuye murmured.
He couldn't understand why Nanmen Jue could be so ruthless, completely disregarding his own life. Was killing him more important than his own life?
Under the flickering sky, Nanmen Jue lowered his head and said softly, "Since there's no mutation even after all this, my data isn't that powerful. There's only one possibility: you've already been a parasite for a long time? Is that why you can command a portion of the parasites?"
Cheng Xiuye was completely unable to answer her question rationally. The fear of impending death drove him mad. He opened his mouth, revealing his teeth, and roared at Nanmen Jue wildly, "I won't die, I won't die, I won't die! You want me to die? I'll make you die with me!"
"How pitiful," Nanmen Jue said. "He's not dead yet, but he's completely gone mad."
She frowned immediately and ordered in a cold voice, "Stop shouting, he's not dead yet."
The mushroom's shouts made her head buzz. Even after being scolded by Nanmen Jue, it still couldn't stop. This level of dimensional collapse stemmed from its instinctive fear, which made it unable to maintain its respect for the "divine messenger." It slid off Nanmen Jue's shoulder and ran away!
Nanmen Jue didn't reach out to stop it. In any case, no matter where it ran, it would surely die once the world completely collapsed.
Taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, not only did the spore mother run away, but Cheng Xiuye also stumbled to his feet. Just then, the sky darkened, and after that brief moment of darkness, he disappeared without a trace.
Nanmen Jue stood still, seemingly oblivious, and indifferently glanced up at the sky.
The crow landed back on her shoulder and said, "Aren't you worried about those people?"
“I trust Ying Yao.” At this point, Nanmen Jue gave a self-deprecating smile. “Although I owe him a lot, I still took advantage of him this time. He’s not the kind of person who would leave someone to die, and he has more tricks up his sleeve than I thought.”
She slightly raised her chin, raindrops dripping down her sharp lines, but her eyes held a hint of melancholy. "After so many days of searching, even Cheng Xiuye and Yu Wanyan have found some traces of other reincarnators, but we haven't found any. I'm afraid we are the last ones to survive."
However, it is worth mentioning that she discovered Jin Jian's whereabouts. Jin Jian had not appeared, and she thought he was dead.
Jin Jian did not die; he was only seriously injured and remained in Ningde Town. When he saw the outbreak of the fungal swarm outside, he was so frightened that he hid in a cellar and dared not go out, thus saving his life.
Nanmen Jue certainly wouldn't kill him; in fact, he even protected him a bit, since he couldn't see anything in the cellar anyway.
Suddenly, a fragment of space landed on Nanmen Jue's arm. Her sleeve was rolled up, and this seemingly harmless fragment touched her flesh. Without a sound, a large chunk of flesh was lost from her arm!
Blood spurted out, and the fragments disappeared without a trace.
Neither Nanmen Jue nor the crow showed any fear at the scene. Nanmen Jue expressionlessly tore off a corner of his shirt and wrapped it around the wound. Blood quickly seeped out, a shocking sight.
“The space is in chaos now. If it comes into contact with a physical object, it will shatter spacetime. Your piece of flesh should have entered another dimension,” the raven said. “I told you before that the way each world collapses after its anchor point is destroyed is not quite the same.”
“Obviously, this place is much more dangerous than the Gray Tower world.” Nanmen Jue turned slightly to avoid another shard falling on her. “It hurts quite a bit.”
The crow asked, "What should we do now?"
Nanmen Jue did not answer. She held the dagger in her hand. Even though Cheng Xiuye had perfectly lured her in when darkness appeared, she had precisely focused her gaze in one direction.
What should we do?
Of course, it's a fight to the death.
...
Amidst the falling fragments of space, Nanmen Jue was hunting down Cheng Xiuye.
Despite losing the help of the spore mother, Nanmenjue had already taken control of some mycelia a few days ago. They attached themselves to Cheng Xiuye, and no matter where he fled, she could sense it and pursue him precisely.
The fungal hyphae had already penetrated Cheng Xiuye's body through his wound and completely merged with his flesh and blood. So no matter how terrified and frantic Cheng Xiuye was, he had no idea how she had found him.
"Nanmen Jue! Are you really going to force me?"
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, Cheng Xiuye swayed precariously, and as Nanmen Jue approached again like a ghost, he let out a desperate scream.
"I've already become like this, why must you be so determined to kill me!"
Nanmen Jue seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, "Have you really gone completely insane, or have you lost your memory? You're the one who wanted to kill me."
“Nanmen Jue, I can pledge my allegiance to you. I now fully understand your capabilities. I can be your man. If even trash like Jin Jian can be your undercover agent, so can I! Don’t you want to take down Ouroboros? Don’t you want to know Zhang Jin’s whereabouts? I can infiltrate for you! Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you!”
Cheng Xiuye's tone changed, and he pleaded pitifully. He even knelt down and solemnly raised his right hand, "I swear to you, or you can use any tool you want, I will be loyal to you. If you want to kill someone, I will be your sword, your nail, your shield, anything you want! Please, don't kill me!"
"You have a good way with words," Nanmen Jue said. "Your ability to gain Zhou Yiming's trust must have been largely due to your eloquence."
As she spoke, she took firm steps closer, as if her entire life was dedicated to one thing: killing Cheng Xiuye. Nothing else mattered to her or would stop her.
"Don't move." Seeing Cheng Xiuye's fierce look and the sign that she was about to jump down from behind, she kindly reminded her, "There's a spatial rift behind you."
Large sections of space were still falling away, and as time went on, it was no longer just in the sky, but everywhere. Just as Cheng Xiuye was speaking, a large patch of black fragments appeared behind him, so black that they had no reflection. No one knew what would happen to someone who fell into them.
Cheng Xiuye froze. He didn't dare to completely believe Nanmen Jue's words, but he was cautious enough. He glanced cautiously to the side and saw a huge spatial rift behind him. He was so frightened that he swallowed hard.
There is one hour left until the end of this mission.
Nanmen Jue drove him to the brink of despair.
A resolute ruthlessness flashed in Cheng Xiuye's eyes, but when she looked up, her face was filled with misery. "You can control me in any way you feel comfortable with..."
“I don’t believe you,” Nanmen Jue said softly.
These words completely extinguished Cheng Xiuye's will to live.
"Good, good, good." Cheng Xiuye said "good" three times in a row, slowly stood up, exuding an aura of madness. "Now that the Spore Mother is no longer there to help you, do you think you can definitely kill me? Nanmen Jue, don't be so confident!"
With that, he roared and lunged at Nanmen Jue!
Nanmen Jue had been preparing for the battle, and upon seeing this, he immediately charged forward fearlessly. They had fought many battles and knew each other's moves well. Determined to kill each other, they abandoned almost all tactics and attacked each other with every means possible, like two pure and primal beasts, even using their teeth.
The prolonged chase was extremely taxing on both of them. During the fight, fragments kept falling around them, and in no time, they were both covered in blood, looking like two bloody, mangled figures locked in combat.
However, Nanmen Jue quickly noticed something amiss. "Are you deliberately stalling for time?"
They deliberately delayed until the hour was up, then returned to the main hall of the god and entered the pillar of light to repair their bodies.
Everyone knows that fighting in the main hall is not worth the effort, because as long as you have points, you can keep repairing.
Moreover, once they returned to the main hall, how could the Ouroboros men just stand by and watch Nanmen Jue turn against their second-in-command? If they were unlucky enough to have Zhou Yiming himself in the main hall, then Nanmen Jue would definitely be the one to suffer.
Cheng Xiuye let out a maniacal laugh, "So what if you know? Nanmen Jue, you can't kill me now, you never will! You will be—"
Before he could finish speaking, Nanmen Jue grabbed his hair and pressed him against a newly appeared crack beside him.
Even though he managed to shake off Nanmen Jue's hand with all his might and escaped as quickly as possible, that brief contact still managed to shave off a piece of his skull, almost revealing his brain.
"ah!"
He yelled and actually managed to get up, squeeze through the gap between Nanmen Jue and the spatial rift, and started to escape again!
Nanmen Jue also got up nimbly, as if all the wounds on his body didn't exist, and started chasing!
The two ran wildly on the mountaintop, the space collapsing more and more violently, and the entire sky turned almost completely black!
Ten minutes, eight minutes, five minutes...
Ten seconds, five seconds, one second...
In the midst of this pursuit and escape, the world completely collapsed. Seeing that the darkness of another dimension was about to engulf the entire world, Nanmen Jue first experienced a blackout, followed by a familiar dizzying sensation as if he had been thrown into a washing machine.
Having already experienced it once, Nanmen Jue was used to it, letting the warm light shine on her, and indifferently letting the main god deduct the points she used for repair.
Once the repair was complete, she immediately opened her eyes, flipped in mid-air, and landed on the ground with a graceful effortless landing, causing a stir among those around her.
The uproar wasn't directed at her. Cheng Xiuye landed around the same time as her. His injuries had healed, but the side effects of the props wouldn't be repaired. Therefore, he was now two meters tall, as strong as a rock, and had a deformed appearance with four arms.
"Look, those are the presidents!"
Everyone looked up at the railing on the second floor.
A man and a woman were standing there. The woman looked older, with a strong body and a gentle, round face, while the man was slender and tall, with a beautiful and pure appearance.
Terra, the leader of the Iron Drill, and Zhou Yiming, the leader of the Ouroboros.
Cheng Xiuye took a step back as soon as he saw Nanmen Jue, and when he saw Zhou Yiming, he was like a lifeline. To everyone's astonishment, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"President—help me!"
