Internal Injuries
Su Luo had his reasons for doing this. Although the Black Flames in reality were directly passed through by the shadows, Su Luo's control over the Black Flames was like that of his own body, and he keenly sensed that the Black Flames had lost a bit of energy!
The opponent's shadow appears to be immune to reality, and its current speed exceeds five times the speed of sound and is still accelerating wildly, yet it has not caused any impact on the real world. This world is like Vacuum to it, allowing it to traverse freely.
There was no sonic boom, no airflow disturbance, and no macroscopic physical phenomena.
Space system? Kamui?
However, the other party is still absorbing energy, and the fact that a shadow can be seen indicates that there is at least photon interaction with the real world.
The shadow rushed to the plasma field, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out its hand, stabbing towards Su Luo's head at a speed exceeding ten times the speed of sound!
"It's so hot!" Shen Haozi exclaimed, but his movements remained perfectly steady.
Su Luo's Constitution had already been raised to 22, so it was as if he didn't exist in front of him. His hand was just a layer of phantom, passing straight through the plasma layer and head that Su Luo had set up, and reaching into his brain.
In the next instant, the hand materialized at the perfect moment. It transformed from a shadow into a solid entity, from untouchable to tangible. At more than ten times the speed of sound, the hand clenched its fist and exploded inside Su Luo's skull.
The attack didn't even scratch the surface of the body, ignoring all obstacles such as armor, magic shields, and physical barriers, and went straight into the depths of the body. The outer skin and flesh remained intact, but the inside had already collapsed.
That's so underhanded, Su Luo will just give it to him.
And so Shen Haozi succeeded.
However, he also lost his right hand. The opponent's brain structure was very strange, with a high-energy part. Under the great difference in Attributes, even though he stuffed his second strongest limb into the opponent's second weakest point, it still ended up as a scene of mutual destruction.
"He's unlikely to die, but serious injuries are questionable."
Shen Haozi was neither upset nor saddened, demonstrating a clear understanding of the survivability of Survivors in high-level matches.
Feeling his body slightly feverish, he simply maintained his speed, attempting to escape further and launch another attack.
If one strike fails, wait for another opportunity to kill, bide your time, and lie Hibernation until you succeed.
Oh, and there's also the matter of silencing those who know they've failed; that's the essence of an assassin's 100% success rate.
But in the next instant, he saw a terrifyingly bright light, and it felt as if a scorching Sun had risen inside his body, sending tingling sensations through him...
Rewinding half a second, Su Luo, whose mind was blank, sensed the shadow's disregard for her defense. She remained expressionless and showed little reaction. Instead, she had a sudden thought and commanded the Young Lord Puppet to intercept Hengjin Jun, who might charge again, just in case.
Shen Haozi had completely confused Su Luo's mind. Just as he was about to leave, a silver hourglass inside Su Luo's body suddenly reversed, activating its effect!
Bullet Time!
Lock-On!
[Effect: Bullet Time: When activated, greatly increases thought rate for one minute, with a 12-hour cooldown.]
[Additional Effect (+11 Activation): Lock-On: Freezes a target for 0.5 seconds, once per day]
That seemingly uninhabited figure was currently embracing Su Luo's body. Su Luo had already tried it before; the freezing effect of the [Spacetime Hourglass] was not only time-related, but also had some spatial Attribute. A massive amount of kinetic energy was frozen in that half-second.
He had previously used this effect to freeze microscopic particles moving at the speed of light for observation and research.
Su Luo moved forward slightly, her originally rational eyes becoming indifferent. Her brain had been destroyed, and the spirit and body that were rebuilding their appearances had not yet fully integrated. So her soul directly took over everything to avoid misjudgment caused by brain damage, enjoying the acceleration of her thoughts.
The soul emerged from the body, carefully observing a shadow.
The frozen shadows had become much more solid, the reason for which was currently unknown.
An ordinary flame emitted light and heat, isolating a region of only a few thousand degrees in this environment of nearly 100,000 degrees, making it convenient for research.
"The shadow is created because when light passes through a person, most of it passes directly through, with less than one percent being slightly deflected, resulting in a thin, blurry shadow."
In fact, if Su Luo hadn't had amazing eyesight, an ordinary person would at most only be able to see some fluctuations in light and shadow when looking at Shen Haozi, and wouldn't be able to detect anything amiss.
"Ordinary matter has no effect on it at all, and even plasma containing terrifying energy has only a negligible impact. However, when it passes through the Black Flames and the plasma field, the energy of these two objects decreases by an extremely small amount, indicating that although this shadow does not appear to interact with this world, it actually exchanges heat with it, which means that it has a physical form in this space."
Su Luo ruled out the possibility of a spatial ability, and began to suspect that this person's ability was similar to Cang Yue's. Cang Yue had a high-multiplier damage reflection ability, while this person had some kind of extremely exaggerated damage immunity.
The kind that reduces damage by more than 99.9%.
Su Luo couldn't explain why conventional substances had no effect on her at all; no matter how high her damage resistance was, Su Luo could still observe even the slightest damage.
So Su Luo activated her X-ray vision slightly, inserted her Fist into the shadow's body, and carefully observed some of the events happening at a microscopic level. The energy within her body plummeted like a cliff, and the energy consumption was ridiculously high without any auxiliary tools or [Enhanced Perception].
The atoms that made up Su Luo's palm did not change at all the moment they passed through the faint shadow, as if they were caressing the air.
If the fading shadow doesn't interact with anything in the ordinary world, then Su Luo is indeed touching a piece of air with a temperature of over a thousand degrees.
But Su Luo captured and analyzed that extremely small fraction of the photons that were deflected, and saw everything clearly.
Within the faint shadow, matter distorting the path of photons was moving. They would change position the instant Su Luo's palm approached, and the difference in the angle of photon deflection before and after allowed Su Luo to calculate this.
At the same time, the Gravitational Perspective was forcibly Burn at the soul level, and the curvature of the surrounding space began to appear. Su Luo could see clearly that the faint shadow in front of her actually had mass, and it was quite large.
The mass was so great that his Gravitational Perspective could clearly see the tiny indentations that space created around the shadow, and he and Su Luo were in the same space.
"The reason why Survivors on the Technology Side cannot be attacked is because the atoms that make up their bodies move and dodge the instant they come into contact with ordinary matter, making them appear completely immune to attacks. Most high-energy attacks are actually just matter carrying high energy, so they are useless against them, such as fire."
The [Spacetime Hourglass] has an upper limit. Since Su Luo chose to freeze Shen Haozi's macroscopic time-space state, it is impossible to completely freeze the microscopic particles in eternal motion.
