Surtrochi Lost an Arm and a Leg, Yet Didn't Despair-Could He Really Become a Monster Through Fear Evolution Theory?

The battle erupted instantly.

The young Surtrochi took the lead, his longsword flashing with sharp, cold light.

His combat skills were superb, and his movements were agile; every sword strike precisely pierced the monster's vital points.

He stood like a sturdy dam, firmly blocking the way at the very front of the group.

However, there were simply too many monsters.

Endless, like the tide, wave after wave.

"The situation is dire," the Dragon God of the Divine Realm said in a deep voice.

He could tell that while these monsters might not be the strongest individually, their frenzied, chaotic aura and their fearless charges were enough to wear down any elite army.

The battle depicted on screen grew increasingly fierce.

The knights fell one by one, overwhelmed by the monsters, without even having time to scream.

Surtrochi was also wounded; his black armor was torn in several places, and his golden hair was stained red with blood.

But he continued to fight.

His gaze remained unwavering.

"He's a true warrior," the giants Niu Tian and Tai Tan exclaimed in sincere admiration.

What they admire most is this kind of indomitable tough guy.

However, the Light Screen seemed intent on presenting the most brutal scene to everyone.

A Giant Worm -like monster lurking underground suddenly burst forth from the ground, opening its gaping maw filled with ring-shaped sharp teeth.

Surtrochi reacted extremely quickly, dodging the fatal attack by sidestepping.

But his comrade beside him was bitten and instantly pulled into the Abyss.

"Careful!"

Ning Rongrong, Xiao Xiao, and the others couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

In the brief moment Surtrochi was distracted, an opening appeared.

A wolf-like monster slashed fiercely with its scythe-like forelimbs.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered.

Surtrochi's left arm was severed cleanly at the shoulder!

A sharp pain struck, causing him to stagger.

Before he could even regain his footing, the venomous hook of the other scorpion-tailed demon pierced his right knee with lightning speed.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones shattering came clearly through the Light Screen.

He could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily to one knee.

My left arm is gone.

My right leg is ruined.

Blood stained the ground beneath him.

The monsters roared with excitement and swarmed in from all sides, determined to tear the tenacious knight to shreds.

It's over.

These two words came to mind for everyone.

Emperor Dai Hao clenched his fist, as if he were witnessing the most powerless moment on the battlefield.

Xue Ye sighed deeply, feeling sorry for the valiant knight.

Tang San had pushed his Purple Demon Eye to its limit, trying to find a glimmer of hope, but all he saw was despair.

However, it was precisely in this Abyss of despair that...

Surtrochi, who was kneeling on the ground, slowly raised his head.

His face showed no pain, no fear, and certainly no despair.

On that blood-stained face, the corners of his mouth were actually... turned up.

Yes, he was laughing.

His eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

That was neither the will to survive nor the flames of revenge.

That's... excitement!

It's pure, extreme, the thrill of battle born from being on the verge of death!

This scene left all the onlookers across the myriad realms speechless.

Everyone's mind went completely blank, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

"He... he's laughing?" Tang Wulin's voice was somewhat hoarse.

He has survived countless life-or-death crises, each time relying on his indomitable will and longing for his loved ones.

But this person in front of me... he's actually enjoying the approach of death?

For the first time, deep confusion appeared in Gu Yuena's silver eyes.

As the King of the Dragon Tribe, she could not comprehend this emotion.

This completely goes against the instinct of life!

On the Light Screen, a few lines of blood-red text appeared at just the right moment, as if they were Surtrochi's inner monologue at that moment.

On the verge of death, he felt not despair.

[It's an unprecedented level of excitement.]

[In the face of extreme terror, he glimpsed the true meaning of 'evolution'.]

[I see... I see!]

Fear is not an obstacle!

Fear is the only driving force that propels life to break free from its Shackles and reach a higher level!

Feel it, embrace it, and then... transcend it!

This is my Fear Evolution Theory!

Boom!!!!

These few lines of text, like a black lightning bolt, shattered everyone's preconceived notions.

Fear Evolution Theory?

What a mad, what a twisted, yet what a... chilling theory this is!

"A madman! This guy is a complete and utter madman!"

Rong Nianbing, the Deity who controls seven emotions, felt for the first time that an emotion was beyond his comprehension.

This is not courage, nor fanaticism, but pure madness that uses self-destruction as a ladder to advancement!

"Nourished by fear, seeking evolution in dire circumstances..."

Ji Dong muttered to himself, recalling the days when he had fallen into darkness because of the Lie Yan, a feeling somewhat similar to this one, but fundamentally different.

He destroyed himself for love, while this person embraced fear for the sake of evolution.

"Is this... also a kind of Tao?"

Longbow Wei, the future God of Light, felt an unprecedented sense of bewilderment.

Everything he knew told him that it was wrong, that it was evil.

Yet the pure and intense will to seek the truth emanating from Surtrochi was something he couldn't simply deny.

"If... if someone could really become stronger in this way..."

Zhou Weiqing stroked his chin, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

He was not a conventional person to begin with, and this theory, though insane, aroused a strange interest in him.

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

"This is terrible..." Tang Ya's face turned pale.

She was once blinded by hatred and fell into the path of Evil Soul Master, but even the most fanatical Evil Soul Master only uses resentment and souls, rather than actively embracing this fear that originates from the instinct of life.

"This is no longer the way humans should think." Xu Sanshi's face was also extremely ugly. His proud Black Tortoise Turtle seemed unable to provide a sense of security in the face of such pure madness.

The scene continues.

Faced with the surrounding monsters, Surtrochi, who was kneeling on the ground, used his only remaining right hand to grab the broken sword from the ground.

He smiled.

They laughed heartily, they laughed maniacally.

"Bring it on!"

A roar.

He charged towards the nearest monster!

With one leg, one hand, and a broken sword!

His movements were no longer disciplined, no longer possessing the elegance of a knight.

All that remained was the most primal, savage tearing and fighting!

He used his teeth to bite through the monster's throat, his broken arm bone to block attacks, and his crippled right leg to support him, unleashing astonishing power.

He seemed to have transformed into a monster even more terrifying than the Abyssal Monster!
