But things weren't as simple as Chu Yunyi had imagined.
After all,
anything in this world could go wrong.
And now,
Chu Yunyi had sent the Shadow Clone to act alone. After all, the ability itself, NO.2 [Shadow Clone], hadn't mentioned any cost.
In other words,
he might be able to summon Shadow Clones endlessly, making them perfect cannon fodder.
After Chu Yunyi gave the order,
the Shadow Clone charged straight at the Wrath Patient. But just as he picked up the abandoned Little Bee and charged forward a few steps, the Wrath Patient attacked him.
Bang!
The Wrath Patient swung his massive hand down, crushing the Shadow Clone to pieces.
When the Wrath Patient lifted his hand, there was nothing beneath it.
"Huh?" The Wrath Patient murmured in confusion, the veins on his body subsiding a little.
It seemed that smacking the Shadow Clone to death had calmed him down somewhat.
Watching from afar, Chu Yunyi seemed to pick up on this.
He pondered:
"Could the Wrath Patient's power come from anger?"
"So he really is the Hulk?"
"The angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes, and once he calms down, he turns back into an ordinary person?"
Chu Yunyi speculated. The first part seemed to be true, but the second didn't look so easy to achieve.
After all, the Wrath Patient got angry at the slightest disturbance.
However,
in a place far away, unbeknownst to Chu Yunyi, a sniper rifle was aimed in his direction.
A special-grade police team captain watched what happened with a surprised expression, but there was also a hint of impatience on his face.
He picked up his walkie-talkie and shouted:
"Who acted without orders?! Didn't I say to wait for the aerial bombardment?!"
But the team soon reported back that no one had taken action.
The special-grade police team captain was even more surprised. This was something he hadn't expected at all.
"Strange."
"Could an ordinary person have gotten involved? Did the Wrath Patient attack another patient?"
The captain considered all sorts of possibilities, even the chance that the patients might attack one another.
But one thing was undeniable.
Their special-grade police team, which also had 150 members, had no intention of engaging. It wasn't as if they hadn't tried before, but ordinary firearms were completely useless.
Even stun grenades and hand grenades could do no more than maim the Wrath Patient.
Give him a little time to recover, and he'd be back on his feet in no time, even stronger than before.
In a game, he'd be a completely overpowered boss.
But in this world,
there wasn't just one Wrath Patient of this caliber...
Meanwhile,
Chu Yunyi had no intention of holding back. He wanted to test the Wrath Patient's limits.
"He's huge."
"He should give the Round Table quite a boost to its Control Power." Chu Yunyi grinned, then got moving.
Chu Yunyi wasn't particularly worried.
Even after seeing the Wrath Patient's terrifying strength, he remained completely calm.
With his newly acquired NO.13 [Wall-Piercing Spell] and NO.14 [Welcome and Farewell], Chu Yunyi could keep himself alive.
Combine phasing through walls with teleportation, and he could mess around all he wanted without dying, right?
With 14 abilities at his disposal, Chu Yunyi was that confident.
The next moment,
Chu Yunyi looked at a window in a building in the distance and activated NO.14 [Welcome and Farewell]!
Whoosh!
The window glass where he'd been fell to the ground and shattered with a crash.
Chu Yunyi reappeared at a high spot with a clear shot.
And,
it was not far from the Wrath Patient.
Chu Yunyi drew the Walther from behind his back and fired one-handed!
Bang!
Even with the Walther's high accuracy, without any kind of sight, Chu Yunyi still missed.
Though the shot went wide, it did hit the Wrath Patient in the head.
The bullet lodged itself in the Wrath Patient's eye socket and struck as if it had hit solid concrete, leaving a sizable dent.
"Tsk, I need to upgrade my gear."
"The bullets just don't have enough density or kinetic energy."
"Why do monsters like this even have to exist? They make no sense."
Chu Yunyi remembered a symposium.
It had been a summit for authors. Though Chu Yunyi was only a fairly successful full-time writer, he'd been invited to attend.
The leader had been droning on, so Chu Yunyi had started chatting with the person beside him.
To his surprise, the person in the next seat was none other than the renowned science fiction writer and vice chairman of the Sanjin Writers Association, Liu Diangong.
Chu Yunyi had chatted with him for a while, and they'd discussed how to deal with monsters like this.
Liu Diangong hadn't denied the possibility of such monsters existing. After all, the universe was vast, and anything was possible.
But he'd said:
"Guns never become obsolete, but blades are more practical."
It sounded ridiculous. A blade was better than a gun?
But there was more to it than that.
The idea was simple: load a gun with antimatter bullets and use a nuclear explosion as the power source. Forget carbon-based life—if the Buddha himself showed up, one shot would still kill him.
But based on the same technology, making a blade would be even more convenient.
After all, you ran out of bullets once you'd fired them all.
But forge the same materials into a blade, keep its sharpness below 20 BESS, and it would still cut through anything in one stroke.
And compared to a gun, it used less material and was easier to handle.
Chu Yunyi had been stunned when he heard that.
He'd never considered that possibility before. As expected of Big Liu.
And now,
Chu Yunyi found himself unexpectedly remembering that conversation. Perhaps he really did need to upgrade his gear.
But,
given the limitations of this world, the best and easiest weapon he could get his hands on was the Walther.
He could go a little stronger and get a rocket launcher or a portable missile launcher.
But Chu Yunyi couldn't help wondering: would those weapons really be enough to kill the Wrath Patient in front of him?
As Chu Yunyi pondered,
the Wrath Patient in the distance seemed to notice him. He let out a furious roar, grabbed a park bench, and hurled it toward Chu Yunyi.
Chu Yunyi reacted at once.
He thrust out a hand!
NO.9 [Ground Wave] activated!
Whoosh!
An invisible Wind Wall appeared in front of him, blocking the attack.
Seeing this, the Wrath Patient seemed to get even angrier. He charged up and sprang toward Chu Yunyi in a massive leap.
The jump made the earth tremble.
The monster hadn't looked that big from a distance, but when it landed nearby, Chu Yunyi realized just how terrifyingly huge it was.
Unlike the Hulk, who at least had a pair of invincible shorts to cover him when he grew bigger,
the Wrath Patient was completely naked.
Chu Yunyi saw
a giant cock coming straight for his face!
"F*ck!" Chu Yunyi cursed, raising his hand to throw up two Wind Walls.
Then he turned and ran.
He phased straight through the wall!
