Collapse, I'll Transform and Punch You Directly

Mobius struggled free from Bai Chen's restraints and landed on the ground nearby, glaring at him. What's the exact strength of this Collapse energy... what level is it? Has the world lost even this much information?

This kind of ability is cheating. If that's the case, who knows how many transformations this guy has, how many trump cards?

If it weren't a matter of extreme urgency, Mobius wouldn't have wanted to act so quickly.

"Mobius, stop now and we can talk. If we go back and forth a few more times, I might have a chance to take you with me!"

Having transformed into the Herrscher of Thunder, Bai Chen looked down at Mobius from the air like a god. The immense thunderbolts in the sky all showcased Bai Chen's divine might at this moment. The terrifying lightning even illuminated the night sky, making it as bright as day.

"As long as you use your body to complete my equipment, I can definitely leave this world!"

Mobius knew there wasn't much time left in this world. She didn't dare to gamble on Bai Chen's success rate. She had always believed that only knowledge was reliable.

Under Mobius's control, countless shadows emerged like venomous snakes, tearing and biting at Bai Chen in the air, attempting to drag him down.

"Sigh."

Seeing that Mobius had no intention of stopping, Bai Chen sighed helplessly. It seemed he'd have to test a new skill on Mobius.

[Drive: Benares Awakening]

As the skill activated, three intertwined crimson tattoos appeared on Bai Chen's back, hidden beneath his clothes.

Bai Chen had unlocked the Stigmata system not long ago!

It seemed he'd have to beat Mobius up first before they could properly discuss matters.

Chapter 64: Battle!

Bai Chen casually slashed a blade, dispersing the shadows before him. Lightning flashed in his purple eyes, unique to the Herrscher of Thunder.

The moment he equipped the Stigmata, Bai Chen's strength surged out like Mentos in Coke. This improvement was truly not insignificant!

Although he could previously maintain his transformed stamina for about three hours, he could now only maintain it for a little over an hour. The consumption was indeed considerable.

But so what? Solving the Mobius problem now wouldn't take that long.

Bai Chen's figure moved, turning into lightning and disappearing into the air, leaving only the echoing thunder in the atmosphere.

"So fast!"

Mobius's eyes couldn't track the Herrscher of Thunder's movements at all. She immediately dove into the shadows to evade Bai Chen's imminent attack.

"Boom!"

A flash of lightning struck, and a sharp blade seemed to appear out of nowhere, slashing down towards Mobius's head, cutting her tiara, which hadn't submerged into the shadows, in half.

Mobius, having rapidly retreated to another location using the shadows, touched her tiara with a look of horror, only half of it remaining. Large beads of cold sweat trickled down her face. I almost got decapitated just now? Is this brat this ruthless!?

Where Bai Chen had been, a pool of black mud appeared, engulfing his legs like a swamp.

Simultaneously, abnormal energy flowed into Bai Chen's body, attempting to inflict damage.

Bai Chen's eyes narrowed, and wild lightning surged from within him, shattering the surrounding darkness.

"Damn it!"

Seeing his confinement so easily broken, Mobius once again commanded countless shadows to transform into sharp spikes and attack Bai Chen. However, Bai Chen didn't even need to dodge attacks of this magnitude.

With a swing of his blade, several sword qi laced with lightning were unleashed towards Mobius. The violent energy not only tore apart the shadows but continued its momentum towards its next target.

Before the sword qi even arrived, Mobius felt her body becoming numb. She immediately dodged back into the shadows, attempting to escape.

Bai Chen wouldn't let her leave so easily. Through the flow of electricity, Bai Chen immediately detected Mobius's movement trajectory.

The moment Mobius's head peeked out, Bai Chen flew in front of her and kicked her in the face!

Driven by electricity, Bai Chen's kick directly pulled Mobius out of the shadows, launching her like a cannonball.

An overwhelming, complete crush. This battle was a complete and utter annihilation.

If Mobius's memory core in the plot had made the Herrscher of Thunder a bit tricky, then this Mobius was being treated like a child!

Originally, Bai Chen's base stats as the Herrscher of Thunder, combined with his transformation, theoretically made his six dimensions stronger than his base form. This was even more true now that Bai Chen had equipped the complete Stigmata!

With this level of superposition, even White Comet wouldn't be underestimated, let alone the Herrscher of Thunder?

Bai Chen suddenly leaped away from his original position. In the instant he left, several scorched holes appeared where he had been!

Looking back at the incoming attack, Bai Chen saw that quite a few large-headed dolls similar to Mobius had surrounded him without his knowledge.

"Using these toys to interfere with me?"

Bai Chen swiped his hand, and countless thunder dragons descended from the sky, engulfing a large group of dolls.

"You can try!"

A giant staff came whistling from where Mobius had disappeared. However, Bai Chen easily raised his blade to block such a powerful blow.

But in that instant, a massive attack, a mixture of shadows and lightning, erupted from the staff!

The unexpected attack landed on Bai Chen as expected. As Mobius gloated, she still discovered Bai Chen standing there calmly.

"Ridiculous!"

It turned out that Bai Chen's body had been covered by a thin layer of crimson lightning all along. The previous attack had barely struck Bai Chen's body.

Looking at Mobius, she now barely resembled a human, having transformed into a massive, half-serpentine monster.

"Collapse?"

Bai Chen tightened his grip and flung Mobius's staff away. Lightning surged along the blade, and he slashed at the monster's chest!

In her collapsed state, Mobius could barely perceive Bai Chen's attack. She swiftly twisted her body to dodge his assault, leaving behind a cluster of dark lightning on the spot that struck at Bai Chen.

Bai Chen originally intended to reverse the attack, sending the dark lightning back at its owner. However, he discovered that these dark lightning bolts were different from ordinary lightning. Before he could fully analyze them, his control over them was limited!

It seemed these dark lightning bolts had been modified by Mobius, perhaps resembling lightning in appearance but being composed of other substances?

Bai Chen could only dodge the dark lightning, preparing to find an opportunity to close the distance with Mobius again.

"RUMBLE!!"

Mobius summoned a sky full of dark lightning. In an instant, lasers, lightning balls, and falling lightning filled all the surrounding space! As if she had no energy consumption, she dyed the world black and green!

Well, after all, Mobius, the Infinite Serpent, wasn't particularly outstanding in combat, but her energy reserves couldn't be weak.

Bai Chen darted through the dense barrage of projectiles, smashing the occasional shadow spikes that emerged from the ground, quickly closing the distance with Mobius.

As he drew his blade, preparing to end the battle, several lightning pillars erupted around Mobius, engulfing him.

Some of the lightning struck Bai Chen, charring his crimson armor, but it didn't cause much actual damage.

Seeing his attack fail, Bai Chen had no choice but to quickly retreat to a safe distance, a hint of impatience appearing on his face.

"Like this! Aren't you quite fast?"

Maintaining the sky full of dark lightning, Mobius laughed heartily. She had been at a disadvantage since the battle began, and now she had finally turned the tables.

"Let's end this. I don't want to play anymore."

Hearing Mobius's taunt, Bai Chen's expression turned indifferent. He flew into the air, looking down at the green figure on the ground.

Under Bai Chen's influence, the surrounding lightning gradually became more violent, as if one could inhale lightning with a single breath.

The heavens and earth changed color. The originally overcast sky, centered on Bai Chen, formed a slowly rotating storm cloud thousands of meters wide.

From afar, it looked like a god descending, or the apocalypse arriving.

The divine ring of the Herrscher of Thunder behind Bai Chen even enlarged, emitting a dazzling light, showcasing the divine might of the Herrscher of Thunder at this moment.

At this moment, he locked onto Mobius below, raising his blade high, continuously condensing a terrifying aura.

"Not good!"

Mobius immediately recognized that Bai Chen was preparing a powerful move and quickly withdrew, preparing to leave the area.

"Disappear within the lightning."

"SWISH!"

As Bai Chen swung, a terrifying blade wave appeared in this world like a giant beast.

For the first time, Mobius saw a blade wave that could be described as obscuring the sun and covering the sky, splitting the sky in two!

"You've got to be kidding me!"

The blade wave, composed of lightning, destroyed everything it touched with overwhelming force! Mobius had no way to evade it!

In her eyes, there was only the ever-enlarging crimson glow and death...

Chapter 65: The Battle Ends

The battlefield was completely different from before. The ground beneath their feet was split by a chasm hundreds of meters wide, created by Bai Chen.

Bai Chen had held back his power; otherwise, if he had let the damage spread, many innocent civilians would have been affected.

After unleashing the slash, Bai Chen reined in his aura and returned to the ground, looking at the mess around him.

The earth's surface was scorched black by the rampaging lightning, and even the air intermittently flashed with faint currents.

"Crack!"

Hearing a noise, Bai Chen immediately turned his head, reaching out to control a current like a giant python to wrap around the person making the noise and drag them before him.

It was Mobius, the young girl! However, due to being struck dead and shedding her skin countless times, her attire was not presentable.

[Quest Progress: 12/20]

Seeing the system prompt, Bai Chen's eyes twitched slightly. He had almost forgotten about this. He should find an opportunity to look through each of her skins later.

"You're truly ruthless, killing me directly!"

Mobius, suspended in the air by Bai Chen's lightning, glared at him in disbelief. She had thought he would merely subdue her, not take multiple lives!

How many times had she died in that instant? It had directly made her younger by over a decade?!

Although Bai Chen wanted to directly answer that she could shed her skin, Mobius's current attitude clearly annoyed him.

"Only you are allowed to kill me, but I'm not allowed to kill you?"

Hearing Bai Chen's retort, Mobius clearly froze, then gritted her teeth and said:

"I never intended to kill you!"

"And you say that after attacking me?"

Bai Chen raised an eyebrow, looking into Mobius's eyes, trying his best not to look at other parts of her.

"Hmph, I just wanted to subdue you first."

Mobius replied with a dark expression. Who knew this brat would become so strong after transforming! It was completely unreasonable!

"If I had intended to kill you, I wouldn't have tried to draw your blood first."

Mobius continued to explain.

"? Then drawing blood?"

Bai Chen was a bit confused, thinking it was filled with strange drugs!

To verify, Bai Chen instantly moved away from his spot, and then returned a short while later, holding something resembling a syringe.

He took the thing he had left in the room and, in front of Mobius, disassembled it, discovering that it was indeed empty.

"Then why did you use my body?"

Bai Chen questioned with a frown. Such dangerous words couldn't simply be a misunderstanding.

"Little one, it's my fault for not being clear. I can borrow your arm, don't worry, my skills are good, and I'll definitely reattach an identical one for you afterward."

Seeing that Bai Chen had no intention of killing her, Mobius started joking again.

"Get lost!"

Bai Chen flung Mobius several yards away, then controlled countless iron sands to emerge from the ground, enveloping her entire body and pinning her to the earth.

This also conveniently covered up the scenery that was making Bai Chen feel a bit flustered.

"My trust in you doesn't extend that far."

Bai Chen dared not gamble that this wasn't Mobius's true intention. He didn't even know the Mobius from his original world well, let alone this strange one?

Besides, to want to give her an arm, did Mobius think she was that important?
