"Badass!"

Crack!

The pale leg armor shattered inch by inch, and the silvery Blood of Ether and bright red flesh were pulverized and scattered like powder. Yuhelai screamed in agony, Li Aoz, who had won the kick, did not intend to let him go any further. He grabbed Yuhelai and threw him toward the rock wall. At the same time, he spread his Stardust Wings on his back, accelerated the impact, and slammed a fist into Yuhelai's shoulder blade.

Sizzle! The highly toxic Blood of Ether spread through the air and was inhaled by the pioneers, but it had no effect on the bio-material-constructed organoids.

"Apocalyptic," Li Aoz said leisurely, "How come I managed to beat you up like this even though I wasn't carrying any weapons?"

"Ugh—you, why weren't you poisoned—"

Li Aoz said lightly:

"Silly child, how could organs made of plastic and nerves made of polymer fibers possibly cause poisoning?"

"... Huh?!"

Upon hearing this, Yuhelai immediately opened his mouth wide:

"Li, Ao, Zi—"

Bang! Li Aoz punched him in the stomach.

"One."

Li Aoz said this, and then punched him in the face again.

"Two!"

Punch after punch, applying constant pressure to his elbows, his punches grew faster and faster, without any extra Aoneng or magical damage, just pure beating, endlessly repeating the punches and beatings.

"Twenty-eight... thirty-seven... fifty-two..."

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

His punches weren't very powerful, and he never aimed for vital internal organs. Instead, he punched the kidneys, shoulders, shoulder blades, nose, bladder, thighs, and triceps. With each heavy punch, Li Aoz would count the number of blows to remind his opponent of the number of hits he had endured, in order to prevent Yuhelai from fainting.

Even so, Yuhelai was still beaten half to death, slumped on the ground, howling incoherently.

Crack!

"Savage!"

Li Aoz delivered a powerful uppercut, shattering four or five teeth from Yuhelai's mouth. The latter fell backward to the ground.

"Tsk, you're really not tough. I only punched you seventy-four times."

Li Aoz casually pulled out Ether Concoction from under the armor he was dealing with, pried open Yuhelai's jaw, and poured the solution into the shark-tooth-filled mouth full of shattered pieces.

Glug... Glug...

Yuhelai's body regenerated and recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his armor was quickly rewoven. His pupils shifted, and he instantly flipped over, raised his sword, and slashed down at Li Aoz!

With a whoosh, Li Aoz raised his hand and deftly deflected the sword blade, kindly reminding him, "This move won't work on me."

"Shut up!"

Yuhelai leaped back instantly, dodging Li Aoz's grab, and at the same time raised his sword and slashed the back of his hand.

[Sharpen Teeth]

The blade tore through the air, but Yuhelai remained unfazed and slashed again. Air molecules were sliced apart, and the intense heat and rapid molecular motion around the blade created dazzling plasma and intense light.

"You have a really bad temper. Didn't you step on my shoulder before and say you were going to torture me?" Li Aoz raised his hand. "I was just returning the favor. We haven't even started the main course yet."

[Sharpen Teeth]

"Shut up!"

Yuhelai gritted his teeth, the pain coursing through his body uncontrollable. He breathed heavily, and a scarlet light shone in the window.

"You're just a mortal. Even without the deadly poison of the Blood of Ether, I could still torture you to death ten thousand times over."

"Who can you possibly torture and kill? Zonia? Or those babies?"

Li Aoz said coldly:

"I may not be a good person, but you are a real beast."

[Sharpen Teeth]

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, you motherfucker!"

Yuhelai's pupils bulged, and he opened his mouth wide, spewing out scorching steam.

He has gone mad.

He was reprimanded and scolded by Horst.

Dissatisfaction with being stood up by Heavenly Ring People.

They were tricked by the Black Whale.

In addition, Li Aoz repeatedly humiliated him.

"Enough, enough, enough, enough! You victims, don't you understand? This planet is doomed!"

Yuhelai raised the sword in his hand and placed it against the back of his hand for the fourth time. The Blood of Ether surged violently like a torrent, infecting his brain with the powerful will of society.

"Hehehe, hehehe..."

Yuhelai laughed bitterly:

"This filthy planet is about to be destroyed. Even if you kill me, what then? You can't stop the wars to come... Men kill women, women kill children, greed and sin will never end, the poor will have their marrow drained by the rich and sacrificed to the powerful and nobles as materials for immortality. But all of this will eventually come to an end, because—"

"Because of Entropy-kun, right?"

Li Aoz smiled calmly, "Entropy will awaken within thirty years, then devour the entire planet and extend the disordered entropy increase to several galaxies, eventually even the Milky Way and black hole regions will be submerged."

Yuhelai was stunned.

"You--"

He had barely finished speaking when Li Aoz said:

"Coward."

Li Aoz one hand on his hip and said disdainfully, "Only the most intelligent and the least popular people are absorbed by society. The most intelligent people do not have a firm stance. As soon as society promises them free will and full power, they believe it. Little do they know that unrestrained freedom is the same as being a beast—and sure enough, you have become a beast too, Yuhelai —no, Zhu Baiya."

"You, how could you know about Entropy Lord's information?" Yuhelai trembled. "Even Mother Gaia didn't know this much detail—no, you're not from Azure Planet People, you're not a native! You, you—"

Yuhelai his sword across the whetstone on the back of his hand.

"I don't want to say anymore, you ignorant beast."

Li Aoz raised his hand, silver runes appearing in his eyes. His [Eye of Truth] predicted the trajectory of the opponent's sword. He appeared to be standing still, but in reality, he had already used gravity to trap himself.

"I come from the abyss of the stars, a place you and your society have never stepped into!"

[Sharpen Teeth]! The fourth time the sword was sharpened, the sharpness of the blade underwent a qualitative change. Atoms were instantly sliced apart, releasing terrifying decay energy. The blazing blade released a blinding light.

"No one has the right to judge me. I gave everything for my promotion. You have no idea about my 'sacrifice'!"

Yuhelai opened his mouth wide, and his mouthful of sharp shark teeth gradually spread out tentacles. His entire body swelled up, Blood of Ether invaded his brain. He was on the verge of losing control.

Regardless, he no longer dared to let Li Aoz seize the opportunity to unleash a cruel and torturous combo, let alone be humiliated like this.

"Die, Li Aoz!"

He roared and howled, his Decay Blade slashing down suddenly.

Clang! The blade slashed down instantly, splitting Li Aoz in two. The sharpness of this sword was beyond the imagination of ordinary people. When it slashed down so swiftly, it was as if the world behind it was out of place.

"Got it! "Yuhelai grinned.

The next moment, he saw Li Aoz suddenly rush over and deliver a fierce punch to his chest.

— [Transposition]

The only weakness of this powerful life-saving Aoneng is its long cooldown time. However, Li Aoz specifically upgraded this Aoneng to the Kappa-class, and in his hands, the cooldown is only three minutes.

Crack! Li Aoz's fist pierced through Yuhelai's chest and extended out from his spine.

"Didn't your mother Gaia teach you that?"

Li Aoz said sarcastically:

"Even the greatest power is meaningless if it can't be used."

Immediately afterward, Li Aoz changed his fist into a claw, grabbed his lung, and slammed it hard into his raised knee. The heavy impact caused Yuhelai to instantly bend over like a shrimp. Li Aoz grabbed his neck and tucked him under the armpit of the pioneer suit.

Crack!

"Sick Skills~~~"

Li Aoz knelt on one knee, pressed down on the back of Yuhelai's hand, and twisted it forcefully, instantly snapping Yuhelai's neck.

"Compared to your sword, your body is truly fragile. Even the power of Beta-rank can destroy you."
