Chapter 160 (The End of Chapter 160)
The faces on these tumors can change.
Sometimes it's a child's face, sometimes it's an old person's face; it can be young, middle-aged, or teenagers.
Faces jostled and pushed their way to the front, as if trying to tear away the skin that bound them and break free of the cage that locked them up.
These faces can all be found in the zombies; the bodies of the people who were killed became zombies, while their souls were imprisoned in tumors.
The zombie's face was hideous and terrifying, and the face on the tumor was screaming in pain.
On the First Continent, everyone except the three great families died. After their deaths, they became nourishment for those people, and were used by them to attack other continents.
Squeeze out all the value, and you won't find peace even after death.
Such a scene is truly chilling.
Even the experienced Kunwu Yecheng felt nauseous and uncomfortable at first.
However, they quickly burned all the surrounding zombies to ashes.
At least their bodies can be at peace and no longer be controlled.
Then it was the turn of the three great families.
With their appearances changed to what they are now, it's difficult for outsiders to recognize their identities.
They can only be distinguished by their size and their position.
Surrounded by people in the very center, the tallest and strongest was Gongyang Qing.
He was also the most deformed and ugliest.
He was over ten meters tall, and his once refined and handsome face had long since become distorted and twisted, making it impossible to recognize his original appearance.
To be precise, it is no longer recognizable as human.
He's a monster now.
Shan Ran had heard the name Gongyang Qing countless times from others, but this was the first time she had met him in person.
A male ram, now devoid of human form.
"Is this the power you wanted?"
Shan Ran could basically guess that the gods from the other world were using power and authority as bargaining chips to exchange for their arrival.
Gongyang Qing used the entire Gongyang family and the three major clans as intermediaries to bring down the deity.
The more humans they slaughter, the more power they gain.
At the same time, it also aroused the resentment of the deceased.
They suffered immense pain and terror before their deaths, and all their negative emotions piled up together.
The deaths of so many people within a few days have accumulated a complex mix of resentment, anger, bitterness, and regret...
This manifested as tangible tumors on members of the three major families.
However, they are no longer human.
Neither human nor god.
Neither human nor ghost.
Is this what you wanted?
Shan Ran stood at a distance, his voice not loud. Between him and Gongyang Qing were many monsters like him, as well as some undead who had escaped the net.
But he could clearly hear Shan Ran's question.
He was physically deformed, but he still retained his own thoughts.
So he was in a lot of pain when he first started transforming.
Gongyang Qing has had a superior appearance since childhood, and his family provides him with top-notch care, clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Every day, thousands of deep-sea pearls are consumed, just to extract the powder from the center to make face cream.
They eat only the cheek meat of rare animals that are difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with.
When he first developed tumors, he was able to cover them up with his clothes.
But soon a tumor grew on his face, and his first reaction was to pick it off.
The severed tumor emitted a mournful wail, more agonizing than all the sounds of the people he had killed in the past two days combined.
But as soon as one tumor is removed, another one pops up.
Soon, they started to cover the entire face one after another.
Even his eyes were bulging out due to a huge tumor.
In addition to developing tumors, his body was also gradually swelling.
And it's not even proportional.
First, the left leg grew bigger, then the belly, then the right hand, and finally the head.
His left hand never swelled up properly, looking like an underdeveloped, shrunken piece of flesh covered with all sorts of human-face tumors.
Since the tumor appeared on his face, Gongyang Qing has never looked in a mirror again.
From that day on, he smashed everything that could reflect light.
Coincidentally, none of the three major families wanted to look in the mirror.
Correspondingly, Gongyang Qing gained power, and he was no longer just an ordinary person who could only feel jealousy and resentment when he saw other superhumans dominating the world.
He possesses strength, metal, wind, petrification, and darkness abilities...
The more people he kills, the more abilities he possesses and the higher their level.
The heads of the three major families and the bishops all shared this view, believing that as long as they could obtain power, the physical deformities could eventually be reversed.
Even if some people in the family are not willing, as long as they kill someone along with them, they will grow tumors on their bodies.
Once a tumor grows, there's no going back.
They can only go down one path to the end, until the day they kill everyone in the world and only their three families remain as the rulers.
That day was exactly what Gongyang Qing wanted.
That was his answer.
He gazed at Shan Ran from afar, the distorted eyes on the tumor on his face flashing with a crazed light.
He tried to recall the location of the corner of his mouth, attempting to force a smug smile.
However, the muscles on his face somehow touched something, causing all the facial tumors on his face to open their eyes wide, their mouths agape, their expressions twisted and painful, as if they were emitting silent cries.
Gongyang Qing wanted to laugh, but the human-faced tumor on his body seemed to be crying.
Shan Ran frowned. She couldn't understand Gongyang Qing's expression, but she found the scene in front of her extremely offensive.
If they really succeed and wipe out all of humanity, leaving only these monsters, what will the world become?
Could the gods of another world have spared these monsters?
In the end, they will only become nourishment for them.
She drew her double-edged sword, the blade clanging and humming as it pointed straight ahead.
With both water and fire powers unleashed, one cold and one hot, flames blazing and tides surging, they roared past, slaying all the demons and monsters in their path.
Shan Ran moved and disappeared from the spot.
In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind Gongyang Qing and beheaded the guard beside him.
The deformed head fell to the ground, its mouth wide open, just like the face on the tumor, emitting a strange, hoarse cry.
The next instant, a cluster of flames appeared out of thin air, covering the heads and separated bodies on the ground, burning them completely to ashes.
The surrounding monsters were scalded by the scorching flames and retreated.
Fire and lightning powers, which can shatter limbs, are their nemesis. After their bodies are deformed, they develop a natural fear of them.
But what they feared even more was the girl standing before them, holding a knife.
Even though their bodies swelled up after the mutation, making them several times taller than the girls, they instinctively wanted to escape.
"Attack her! Kill her!"
Gongyang Qing's throat was hoarse, emitting a dull and unpleasant sound.
Upon receiving his signal, all his subordinates, for some reason, were instantly freed from their previous fear, leaving only a craving for flesh and blood.
This is a unique ability of Gongyang Qing.
He can manipulate the thoughts of all "people".
These "people" are monsters like him, who kill humans to gain energy and have tumors growing on their bodies.
He could even control the heads of the other two families and the archbishop.
With such abilities, he is the strongest person in the world!
He has enjoyed the best of everything since birth. He shouldn't be mediocre. He deserves the best things in the world and the most powerful superpowers.
He sacrificed so much, became hideous, and killed so many people, all just to become the strongest person in the world, to stand at the top of the world!
Upon hearing Gongyang Qing's summons, the monsters around him seemed to have completely lost their fear of fire and rushed towards Shan Ran.
The monsters on the periphery also became restless, instantly unleashing several times their previous fighting power.
Rhine and the others had been fighting continuously for a month, with very little time for proper rest. They also had to remain highly vigilant to protect Shanran's health, so they were all more or less exhausted.
A faint, fishy stench permeated the mist; prolonged exposure could impair one's mental state.
While waiting for Shanran to wake up, the group occasionally became confused and lost their minds, behaving abnormally.
Time was of the essence, and there was no time for gentle methods. The most brutal and direct approach was to beat him up, and then combine that with Xie Qingheng's light-based superpowers to restore his sanity.
However, Xie Qingheng is not a psychic, so he cannot completely heal the mental attacks they have suffered.
Over time, it causes significant physical and mental strain.
Now that the monster has suddenly gone berserk, their pressure has increased dramatically.
Shan Ran glanced at them and then looked away. She wasn't worried; she was sure they could handle it.
What she needs to do now is to kill Gongyang Qing as soon as possible.
The monsters surrounding her were enormous and ugly, crowding her so tightly that there was no room for anything else, pressing down on her like small mountains, while wave after wave of supernatural powers attacked her relentlessly.
Various colored supernatural abilities mixed together, intertwining into huge, multicolored light waves, containing immense energy and terrifying darkness.
From the outside, the tiny figure was completely invisible.
She was thus swallowed up by countless monsters and superpowers.
A long time has passed, yet it seems like only a fleeting moment.
The next moment, the clanging sound of blades rang out, and an unstoppable blade aura, like lightning striking down from the sky, directly cut through all obstacles in front of it, beheading all those who stood in its way.
Accompanying the blade's momentum were raging flames, a surging tide, a howling eagle, and a vengeful, crimson black serpent...
All the supernatural powers combined to form an overwhelming black flame.
Wherever the sharp blade went, all the demons and monsters it touched turned to dust.
The monsters opened their mouths wide, emitting painful hisses and howls.
They tried to escape unwillingly, but were instantly overtaken by the black flames and mercilessly swallowed up.
They struggled violently, but the black flames were like maggots clinging to their bones; once they were attached, they couldn't shake them off.
On those faces, so distorted that their original features were unrecognizable, one could clearly see their fear.
Contrary to fear, the face on the tumor smiled at this moment.
Those faces were smiling—relaxed smiles, relieved smiles, smiles of triumphant revenge, and sorrowful smiles…
Soon, the human face was burned to ashes along with the monster.
No one can stop the mountain from turning red.
A thousand years of accumulation, a thousand years of experience—they intended to kill Shan Ran with the passage of time, but unexpectedly, time became the nourishment for her growth.
In this world, no person or creature can stop the mountain from turning red.
Even another world won't work.
