The Clash Between Life and Death

Compared to his Older Brother, Arlan Mercury looked remarkably "young".

He looked to be in his early forties, with only fine wrinkles on his face and a few gray hairs; he looked like he was still in his prime.

However, in reality, Arlan is only two years younger than Arter —they are both now in their seventies.

Of course, Lin Yu wasn't surprised that Arlan's appearance had changed... After all, the Nightless Sky Family Head, as the mother of five children, still looked like little girl.

There is a significant difference in the level of life between the true Chosen of God and ordinary people. For them, the aging caused by the passage of time can be avoided and slowed down in various ways.

Of course, this also reflects that, in order to ensure his Older Brother's survival, Arlan Mercury's power was indeed somewhat different from that of a truly complete Chosen of God like the Nightless Sky Family Head.

At least, he still looks somewhat aged.

But regardless, Lin Yu now has to face a Chosen of God one who truly came with the intention of killing.

Even though the [Mind-Reading Mirror] would be ineffective against a big shot like Arlan Mercury, Lin Yu could still read Arlan's emotions.

It was probably 100% anger and Killing Intent.

"It's all thanks to borrowing Old Zheng's abilities that we have some confidence now."

"Moreover, there's also the support from the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot..."

As Lin Yu thought of this, he suddenly realized that Nightless Sky Fire Apricot had disappeared.

A corner of the floor tile in the corner of the auditorium was lifted, revealing a deep passage leading underground.

Lin Yu was taken aback for a moment.

"This rat must have eaten a lot; it managed to sneak away so quickly."

Of course, this hole might have been dug a long time ago...

But regardless, Lin Yu then realized that he had Error the escape ability of the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot.

She hid among the corpses just now purely because she wanted to watch the spectacle.

"Fine, I guess I'll have to do it myself..."

Lin Yu sighed.

The only saving grace was that the hall was still filled with Elemental Gas, which did help limit Arlan Mercury's power.

Lin Yu looked at the enraged head of the Mercury family, whose gaze was also fixed on Lin Yu—after all, at this moment, Lin Yu was the only person standing in the hall.

"You sealed off this place, intending to murder my Older Brother, didn't you?"

Arlan spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over the corpses of the Noble killed by Lin Yu on the ground—many of whom were on good terms with the Mercury Family.

However, he didn't seem to notice any of this, nor did he become even angrier as a result.

Arlan only spoke again after he found his sleeping Older Brother, whose life force had become extremely weak.

"Who exactly are you, and why did you try to harm my Older Brother?"

Lin Yu looked at Arlan and calmly replied, "I was just doing what someone asked me to do, Mr. Arlan Mercury."

Arlan became even angrier upon hearing this.

After all, Lin Yu's statement was a tacit admission that he was the "culprit," but it did not deny the fact that he was harming "Arter Mercury."

So...

Arlan Mercury made a sudden and ruthless move!

A rich Life Energy emanated from him, enveloping the patriarch of the Mercury Family.

Although the unstable Elemental Gas makes most of the people of the City That Never Sleeps hesitant to use any active Alchemical Creation or Alchemy, thus turning them into primitive people who can only fight hand-to-hand.

However, as the Family Head of the Mercury Family and the Chosen of God of the God of Life, Arlan Mercury is subject to limitations, but only to some extent.

After all, Arlan Mercury can use "Supreme Alchemy"!

A notable characteristic of the "Supreme Alchemy" used by the "Chosen of God" is that this "Alchemy" is completely controllable.

Compared to other Alchemy that follow a set of rules and are full of scientific principles, "Supreme Alchemy" has one distinctive feature: it is "unrestrained and arbitrary."

It can operate entirely according to the will of the "Chosen of God".

No matter how unstable Elemental Gas, Arlan Mercury can exclude it from the reaction.

At this moment, Arlan Mercury was unleashing all of his stored Life Force —if it were an ordinary user of "Life Spectrum" Alchemy, they would only gain a powerful boost to their physique, change their body shape, or acquire an extra pair of controllable hands.

However, Arlan, as the "Chosen of God," is naturally not that simple.

The pure Life Force was gradually drawn out of his body, eventually forming a giant composed of pure Life Force.

The turquoise "Life Giant" stood before Arlan Mercury, then coldly looked at Lin Yu.

"Go... and bring my Older Brother back."

As Arlan spoke coldly, the Life Giant lunged toward Lin Yu.

Lin Yu sighed as he watched the giant pounce on him.

"Why do we still have to engage in such high-intensity battles after leaving the Black Marsh World?"

The only difference is that now he's gone from being the red giant who beats people up to being the one who gets beaten up by the green giant.

Lin Yu sighed, feeling that this was a kind of Karma and effect, a karmic retribution.

Of course, Lin Yu can still transform into the Red Giant, but he hasn't accumulated enough "belief" yet, so even if he transforms, he can't support more.

Moreover... a head-on confrontation is not the best option.

After all, although Lin Yu didn't know exactly what abilities Old Zheng possessed at his peak, he had witnessed one of them.

"Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, even though you've run away... your 'toy' is mine now!"

"Old Zheng, can you handle these corpses?"

Old Zheng was inside the hat, immediately responded.

"Thanks to that Noble young lady, she really did manage to... preserve these corpses very well, and she probably killed them cleanly, so there are still many souls left inside!"

"Although some Alchemy modifications were made, as long as she doesn't obstruct or interfere with my manipulation, there won't be any problems."

Old Zheng spoke, he then extended his power once more, drawing upon Lin Yu's surging Mental Power.

"Anyway... leave it to me, boss!"

Then, an invisible mental fluctuation spread, and the beautifully dressed corpses that had fallen to the ground stood up again.

They gathered together, like an army, and stood in front of Lin Yu and the Life Giant.

A vibrant Life Giant energy, composed of pure Life Energy, clashed with a group of corpses. The clash between the two was imminent, and a struggle began before Lin Yu!

The corpses were piled up into a pyramid, blocking the Life Giant from advancing.

The Life Giant, meanwhile, held his hands to his chest, struggling to push the corpses away.

This scene is like a physical manifestation of the clash between the two opposing concepts of "life" and "death"!
