217 Even if I lose
◎The fourth game ends◎
This time, Su Wen did not come out either.
Qi Qiuxue looked at the door that opened and closed, unable to explain what she felt at the moment. People seemed to become dull and sluggish when faced with great sadness. Everything around her was like a black-and-white movie that could not be focused. She could no longer tell who said what or what happened.
Liu Ge came to say goodbye to her.
Li Yiqing held her hand tighter.
Something wet slid down from the corner of her eyes. Qi Qiuxue looked up at the sky, thinking it was rain falling from somewhere.
It took me a long while to realize that those were actually my own tears.
"I must survive." She met Liu Ge's gaze and mechanically repeated this sentence many times, perhaps without even realizing it.
"Yes."
Liu Ge nodded, raised his lips and chuckled as he answered her over and over again.
“…”
The door reopened.
The door closed again.
Liu Ge stood on the field, catching her breath. She used common props to adjust her stats and weapons beforehand. Then a god descended before her, removing the mask and revealing her true face. "My name is Elena."
"Are you alone?" Liu Ge asked in a deep voice.
"Yes," Elena said with a smile, "Your teammates and my teammates all died in the previous few games."
"Do you want to avenge them?" Elena looked at the chain blade tightly grasped in Liu Ge's hand, then at her furrowed brow. "What a coincidence! Me too."
"My ability is—" A pure white paintbrush appeared in her palm. Elena grasped it and sketched a few strokes. In an instant, countless thunderclaps struck the ground, like a divine punishment. "Creation."
Liu Ge dodged quickly and cautiously, but before she could stand firm, clusters of sharp leaves like blades came one after another at an extremely fast speed, cutting countless scars of various sizes on her body in an instant.
All of these originated from Elena's creation.
"Let's see who will have the last laugh." Elena still smiled softly and raised the paintbrush in her hand again. This time, countless arrows shot out with unstoppable force.
“…”
Try to get close to her.
Liu Ge dodged while forcing himself to think quickly. In Elena's repeated attacks, she always used long-range attacks. Perhaps her ability was limited. If she adopted a close combat method, or increased the attack speed, she would not have time to create -
Before the next attack came, Liu Ge rushed forward quickly. She swung her chain blade forward. The chain made a rustling sound and passed through one obstacle after another created by Elena, with an extremely clear target heading straight for Elena's heart.
So Elena briefly stopped attacking Liu Ge, and she began to draw a barrier for herself to block the attack of the chain blade. As gods, there was a huge gap in their abilities. She was faster than Liu Ge, and the barrier was formed when the chain blade was about to touch her, repelling the attack.
but--
Each creation lasts for ten seconds, and even if Elena draws it in advance before the creation expires, there will still be a very short gap between the two. This is the answer Liu Ge came up with from the repeated tests just now.
Without any hesitation, Liu Ge never stopped moving forward and began to count down in his heart.
"Ten, nine, eight..."
Liu Ge successfully recovered the chain blade.
"Seven, six, five..."
When Liu Ge raised the chain blade, he found that Elena also raised the paintbrush.
"Four, three, two..."
She saw Elena describing something again, and Liu Ge subconsciously dodged to the side and quickly drew her knife.
"one."
Elena...actually laughed.
Liu Ge watched with his own eyes as the tip of his knife pierced through the corner of Elena's clothes, making a "hissing" sound, but at the same time, a feeling of weightlessness followed.
——The chain blade did not pierce Elena’s flesh.
Liu Ge held the weapon tightly in his hand and fell down.
It's a cliff.
She actually created a thousand-foot cliff out of thin air!
The cliff was very steep. Liu Ge rolled down from a great height, hitting the hard cliff again and again. He felt dizzy and bleeding.
Her arm was in pain, with wounds of varying sizes scratched by the stone wall. After her wrist sustained another heavy blow, Liu Ge unconsciously loosened her palm for a moment, and the chain blade nearly slipped out of her hand.
But in the next second, she forced herself to close her five fingers again and hold the chain blade tightly.
She couldn't die here.
She wants to save her lover and friends.
She wants to survive!
Liu Ge used all his strength to swing the chain blade upwards. The chain cut through the air and got stuck in a crevice at the top of the cliff. After realizing his success, Liu Ge adjusted his posture as quickly as possible, kicked the boulder with both feet, used the reaction force to move away from the steep rock wall, and at the same time recovered the chain.
This was a very short self-rescue. When the time limit was up and the cliff happened to close, Liu Ge finally escaped and returned to the ground.
Compared to the holy and noble god with white wings, her blood-soaked and disheveled appearance looked like a demon crawling out of hell. She raised her weapon towards Elena again, but what greeted her was—
"Bang!"
Several bullets penetrated her body.
"I have to say, you are a very determined person." Elena kicked Liu Ge to the ground and watched her fall heavily to the ground, bleeding uncontrollably. "But because of this, I hate you even more."
"Humans are such troublesome creatures, so small and so fragile, yet so completely lacking in self-awareness, arrogantly believing they can change and be saved."
"But in the end, there's nothing you can do." Elena completely suppressed her smile and raised her paintbrush again. She created the sea, a boundless, cold and deep sea.
She immersed Liu Ge's whole body in it, drowning her and suffocating her. She waited for ten seconds to pass, and when the sea water disappeared and Liu Ge had a chance to breathe again, she drew again, letting the sea water come down again.
This was torture, even a form of torture. Liu Ge's lungs ached, her brain felt dizzy, and her vitality was constantly draining away, leaving only 30%, 20%, 10%...
The moment the sea water disappeared again, Elena came over, and her voice was getting closer and closer.
Liu Ge struggled to open her eyes. She identified Elena's location through the blood and water stains in front of her, and swung the chain blade again. The chain wrapped around her neck like a snake when she was not prepared, and pulled Elena over with force.
Liu Ge controlled the chain blade and stabbed her chest again and again.
Blood quickly flowed all over the ground, merging with the dripping water and gradually dyeing the ground red. Liu Ge could no longer tell whose blood it was, and had no time to care too much. She just held back the enemy in front of her, stabbing the knife into her body over and over again, never letting go of her palm.
But soon, she heard a chuckle from a distance.
“…”
Liu Ge's mind went blank for a moment. She looked up blankly and found that there was another person standing not far away, a god who was intact and still high above.
The god spoke, words that were both desperate and stinging: "How can you be sure that I cannot create myself?"
Liu Ge quickly lowered his eyes, and the "Elena" in front of him had already disappeared.
Punishment came again, Liu Ge was drowned in the sea again, Elena's mocking voice came again, but this time, Liu Ge was unable to distinguish it.
She only felt that her body was getting lighter and lighter, and her life was already in the countdown, from ten percent to seven, and then to five.
Suddenly, a floating golden thread appeared in his field of vision, one end on the distant shore, and the other tied between his eyebrows.
Is it an illusion? Or what?
"You're about to die." Elena's voice came again, "Instead of dying here, it's better to use the life-saving talisman to return to reality."
"It was a pleasure playing with you." She smiled and leaned over to look over from the other side of the sea. This glance allowed Liu Ge to clearly see where the golden thread was.
"I heard that Li Yiqing and Qi Qiuxue, who are ranked behind you, are even more powerful." Elena continued, "In that case, after winning this match, I will also have a good fight with them."
"Do you think they're afraid of water?" Elena described the new sea water again, with an almost cold smile in her voice, "Or maybe we can try another method, using electricity, fire, or..."
Liu Ge turned the chain blade in his hand and stabbed it into his own forehead without hesitation.
In this short yet long silence, she thought and understood. She guessed how to kill the god, and also guessed that her companions who had died before her must have made the same decision as her.
One life for another, very fair.
Liu Ge closed his eyes and sank weakly to the bottom of the sea. Just as Elena said, humans are fragile and small, and their strength is really low.
But at the same time, humans are also determined and strong. For the things they care about and for the wishes they want to protect, they can fight until the last second.
Even if I lose.
Meng Yiyue's voice seemed to ring in her ears again. Just like that day, Liu Ge could no longer tell whether it was real or imaginary. A vague guess formed in her mind, but it was too late. She had no time to verify it.
She lost and was going to die, but luckily she also killed Elena.
Like her deceased companions, she exchanged her own loss and death for her teammates' victory and life.
The fourth game is over.
Liu Ge and Elena died.
