Modian's Rules

Amidst the ear-piercing sound of Chainsaws, Mi Chuchu donned Full-Body Armor and punched a sculpture dressed in a long dress.

The pale sculpture collapsed with a crash, its base rolling away with a clatter, leaving the sculpture standing upright once more.

Mi Chuchu shook the white dust off her hands and looked at the crack-free sculpture, saying, "This thing can't be broken by hammering. Its body is like metal; it must have some kind of rigid Rules."

Tao Yuan removed the Chainsaw from the sculpture in front of him, and frowned as he shook off the Chainsaw from the undamaged sculpture.

"Be careful, everyone. This powder will petrify parts of our bodies and cause us to become slowed down. Wang Ding, prepare to deactivate."

"Clear."

Wang Ding, who was not far away, took out Ancient Book, opened it, and used his speed to buff everyone.

With Wang Ding's speed boost, An Ying's body regained its former lightness, and he immediately accelerated, weaving through more than a dozen sculptures, keeping most of them behind him.

With more than a dozen sculptures chasing after him, the pressure on the others was greatly reduced.

"Boom--"

Looking at the dozen or so sculptures that were leaving afterimages behind An Ying and occasionally bumping into each other while being restrained by An Ying, Wu Liang said to Flower Language beside him, "They're quite resourceful."

Flower Language, with two sculptures tied to her front, glanced at An Ying upon hearing this and said, "Indeed, but he can't keep going like this for long."

An Ying's speed indeed slowed down again after only a few minutes. His legs felt increasingly heavy, as if they were filled with molten lead, and his speed was greatly reduced.

As he rolled away to dodge, he lifted his trouser leg and saw that his calves were already beginning to sculpt.

An Ying suddenly raised her head to look at the dust that had been rising in the air due to the sculpture activity. That dust had silently filled the air in this area and was constantly seeping into their bodies.

Seeing the Mourning Cloths that never fell off the sculptures, he realized something.

An Ying stopped dodging and instead jumped up, landing lightly on the top of the sculpture's head.

The area above the tall sculpture is where the least dust is.

After jumping up, An Ying didn't hesitate to lift the Mourning Cloth covering her head.

He lifted up a female sculpture.

The sculpture's facial expression is extremely ferocious and painful, with wide-open eyes and the corners of the eyes pulled downwards, as if it is struggling and howling. But the body is in a very elegant pose, with one hand placed in front of the body and the other hand lightly covering the lips, completely dissected.

After the Mourning Cloth was lifted, a crack suddenly appeared in the faces of the sculptures that had not been broken. The crack continued to spread downwards along the faces of the sculptures, and the pale white plaster kept peeling off.

Thump!

Seeing this, Mi Chuchu, clad in armor, seized the opportunity and punched down. The hard armor, along with her fist, instantly shattered half of the sculpture's body.

The sculpture collapsed instantly, turning into a pile of rubble, and the dust almost condensed into a white mist that rushed towards us.

"Cough cough!"

Both of them coughed from the thick dust. They covered their mouths and noses and backed away, but when they raised their hands, they found that the areas they had been in contact with the dust had turned grayish-white, similar to the sculpture.

"It's an assimilation Rules."

The Calamity Crossing Squad was engaged in fierce fighting, while at this very moment, Qin Rang and Lin Nieran, under Wu Liang's protection, had hidden behind one of the broken tombstones, far away from the three-way battlefield.

After moving them to a safe place, Wu Liang joined the battle, and now only Qin Rang and Lin Nieran were left obediently hiding behind the tombstone.

[Host, these strange creatures are all S-Rank!] 007 exclaimed in surprise, [Why are all the strange creatures here so high-ranking?]

"With so much resentment and such concentrated energy, it's not surprising that S-Rank would appear. I'm just afraid there might be SS-Rank one." Lin Nieran said, while secretly peeking out from behind the tombstone.

Seeing this, Qin Rang also peeked out from the other side of the tombstone.

Lin Nieran's gaze first fell on the eerie atmosphere of the nearest Cemetery.

The densely packed Skeletons were constantly being reassembled, shattered, and regenerated, with the crunching sound of Skeletons rubbing against each other and screams echoing continuously.

Lin Nieran looked down at the System Interface that 007 had displayed.

[A bizarre, laughing Skeletons:]

Rules 1: Nighttime Operations, Bone Shattering and Regeneration, Mass Recovery

Rules Two: The pain before death transforms into joy after death; during a blissful laugh, attack power and recovery power increase.

Rules 3: Skeletons Body, Immune to Physical Attacks

Immune to physical attacks, mass resuscitation...

Lin Nieran turned his gaze back to the Skeletons in shock.

Not only what's in front of us, but in this astonishingly large Cemetery, there's a Skeletons in front of each tombstone. The Cemetery stretches outwards, and the Skeletons pile up one after another, rushing towards Lai'er.

With such a large number of enemies, and physical attacks proving ineffective, it's no wonder that even the S-Rank Modian couldn't handle it. As fellow S-Ranks, their Rules, in a way, counter Modian's role-playing Rules.

[Identity Card: Modian

Identity: Mysterious

Grade: S

Rules 1: Role-playing. Based on the situation, generate the most suitable identity and play it, gaining all the abilities of the role-player.

Rules Two: Loss of Control. The actor doesn't need to be rational; the more out of control they become, the stronger they become.

Rules Three: Puppet, physical Puppet, immune to all control.

...]

He remembered that the first few rules of Modian's bizarre Rules were like this: his identity Gravekeeper Rules was burial and salvation. In fact, it was not suitable for dealing with such a regenerating Skeletons anomaly.

After Modian is shattered, the Skeletons will regenerate on its own until one side runs out of energy, which will result in a long tug-of-war.

On the contrary, the current False Angel are more suitable to deal with Skeletons, as angels' abilities are naturally effective against such strange phenomena.

Lai'er's long, golden Long Hair billowed with his movement, tracing dazzling golden arcs in the wind. His Four Wings folded slightly, freeing up space for his hands to move freely, allowing Lai'er to personally—

--Crush the skull of the Skeletons.

As soon as one Skeletons fell, another immediately took its Skeletons. They swarmed around it, following the undulating terrain, and in no time, they completely filled the area around Lai'er.

Lai'er shattered several nearby Skeletons with a punch, and the next moment, his Four Wings fully unfurled. He whirled around, his enormous wings brimming with power, sending the surrounding Skeletons flying with a fierce gust of wind.

When the iron-hard wings struck the densely packed Skeletons in the Cemetery, the remaining Skeletons, who were still laughing, immediately screamed in pain, letting out sharp howls. Their eyes, staring at Lai'er, were filled with terror.

Instantly, the strange Skeletons that had been stirring around them dared not take another step forward.

Lin Nieran clearly saw that the Skeletons's status on the System Interface had changed from [Excitement] to [Pain].

"Are these things immune to physical damage, but not to the psychological damage caused by hallucinations?"
